Hey, Mom. What? Hands up. Drop your weapon. Ew, Mom! I did not exist. I would go to the store like this. But men still do exist. So I'll go like this. Not all men. Yes, we know. Here is my impression of half the women on this app. And I say this as a three-time sexual assault survivor.   No, no, there's a question about it.  That is all men do. So I'm going to treat you with hostility and defensiveness immediately.  Tell me how that attitude towards men is any different from being a misogynist. Generalizing an entire gender.    And that's not what true feminism is about. What some people need to realize is I'm not flirting. I'm just hot and talking. How many times a day am I going to be told I give off milk vibes? I am 20 years old. I do not have children. I am not a milk. Yet. Okay. Well this is why you shouldn't trust everything you see on the internet because as soon as I take this off I turn into an entirely different person. Facts why the girls are better than the boys. In this series we're doing rankings and learning fun facts. Ladies make sure a guy sees this and get his reaction. Women are better leaders. Data shows that women tend to score higher than men on performance reviews for leadership. Women are more respectful. Data shows that women are more respectful in professional settings. Women are better educated. In the United States more women are enrolled in higher education than men and more women graduate with degrees. Oh Lord. In girl world, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears. And yesterday I got this. Yup that's herpes labialis. Herpes simplex comes in two forms. As you can see here this is the breakdown. So as you can see HSV1 usually involved with the oral cavity and the lips. But the types can be interchangeable. You can find HSV2 up here and HSV1 down below. And you can probably guess why. So when it occurs on the lips it's usually called a cold sore. Canker sores are different. Those are aptus ulcers. Like this. Whereas herpes is herpetic. It's grouped vesicles or blisters. They usually start off with tingling, burning before the development of the redness and the vesicles. And when they pop or open up they crust over. Do not pop these. Because if you get any of the fluid on they contain virus and it can get into your finger and cause herpetic whit-low. Like this. So when you get herpes simplex on your lips for the first time it can cause a fever. And we call that a primary infection of herpes simplex. So be careful when you share your drinks. And when kissing. Because this can be transmitted through saliva. Oh it looks like your phone is buzzing. I'm doing the dishes right now. Do you mind checking it for me? You want me to check your phone for you? Yeah. The passcode is two on two eight. Who was it? Babe. Who texted me? This mark. He was asking if you were free this weekend to hang out. Tell him I'm busy. Tell him I'm hanging out with you. Wait. What? Tell him we're going apple picking this weekend to get fresh apples for apple pies. Alright. Dishes are done. What kind of wicked day is this? Babe. Oh my god. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe. There's a spider in it. And I don't think I might bite you. Just look. Really? You're right there? No there's no. You ever been one of those women that were like I don't need no man? And then you get one and it's like a good one and they like does everything for you. You don't have to cook dinner or get gas. You like forget how to do everything.  Hey but like when's dinner? It's almost done. I hope he never leaves me, because I'm screwed.  Are we having a bit tonight then love? I'm not starting this old washing machine for such a small load. You'll have to do it by hand. What are you guys doing? I have to go back to work! Oh. So all the fearless men out there, listen up. When I went up to my husband and I told him I wanted a divorce, do you know what he said to me? He said, Revy, I thought you would never go through with it. I was completely dumbfounded by his response. For so many years, so many years I begged, I pleaded, I cried, I screamed, I yelled. I don't know how much more clear and more loud I was with him to tell him that I wasn't happy, that this marriage wasn't working. And he didn't listen. He didn't listen. Suddenly I realized that I had to take care of myself and I took myself out of this bad marriage. So guys, if your wife and your woman is telling you in 20 different ways she's not happy, I would make sure to listen to her.  My assistant puts reasons for appointments on my calendar and I just found this one. What is like having a baby mama who cares more for money? Hey, I'll be over at nine to pick up the kids for the weekend. Well, I heard you got a new job. What does that have to do with my time with the kids? Well, John and I aren't working due to COVID. I can't help you. I'm already giving you $1,000 a month. Do you want to see the kids? Yes, of course. Then pay? We need to see a judge. Okay, ladies, want to know what dating in your 40s is like? After a bad online date, after a bad online date, finally find a decent guy. We're ready to go to the next step. Get a hotel room by the beach. And last night, do the necessary things. Do the plucking, do the shaving. Today, two o'clock, day of, send a text. I send the text saying, all right, you getting excited. You ready to go? Insert BS excuse here. Nope, can't go. Sorry, something came up. Okay, that's great. When did you find out? Oh, two hours ago. Two hours ago? Nice. So, sure hope I can cancel the hotel. Nope, can't, had to cancel an hour before. Yep, now I'm stuck with the bill. So, guess I'm off to the hotel by myself.


What has been the feeling like over the last two weeks you guys have lost a lot of big parts of this team due to injury? Yes, it's unfortunate, but we're a team and we have a whole lot of players in the minor leagues that are capable. When injuries are part of the game and when they happen, we have a lot of guys that can step up and help this team, just like L'Oreal. What you want is for our team is to recover, find their health, and get back as soon as possible and help this team. Were you impressed by that ball that Judge hit in the third inning? I'm used to seeing that. I've seen a lot of those and I've seen them all. There you go. We'll take the next one from Bruce Beck.  Gary, with all these injuries that have happened in the team, do you feel like you're one of the guys who can help this team, to take the responsibilities and win this team? I'm not the only one. We're a team. We're a team. We all support each other in the game. We're 9-9. I don't think I'm the only one who can do that. Not by myself. Definitely not by myself. That's why we're a team. I definitely believe that all 9 of us in the game, along with the pitchers, we can definitely get it done.

by its trader. There's a bunch of red flags on stocks and when you see any one of these red flags on a stock, it means that you have to size down. So some of the red flags on a stock include low float, include day one, include SSR and include easy to borrow. If any stock has any of these four red flags, as is sure, you must size down. And if any of these stocks have more than one red flag at the same time, whether it be easy to borrow and SSR, it's probably a good idea to avoid that stock. So today on IC, I had a big red flag. It was easy to borrow. So what I told myself, what I told the members in the rooms, do not go over 30% size on this stock. So we have a rule in MIC that says if the stock is above VWAP, you cannot use more than 30% of your size. So for example, on IC, if your MAC size is a thousand shares, you might use more than three shares. So what I did on IC is I actually traded a couple of times. I kind of scouted a couple of times with my 30% size. I built up a little bit of a cushion. And then what ended up happening is, you know, I started over trading it. I started, you know, I didn't really oversize on it. I just gave the 30% but I over traded it and it lets me lose it. So what I did right today was keeping my size under control. What I did wrong today is overtrading the hot check. And you know, the thing about trading that people don't really understand or people are kind of asking questions about is make $100,000 on bed bath and beyond last week, but you lose only $1,000 this week on this stock. And it's the same thing that we mentioned over and over again. It's in trading.  So on something like IC where it has a bunch of red flags, where it's an easier borrow stock, that doesn't have too much of an edge for me. So I'm not using more than 30% of my size, whereas something like bed bath and beyond, a first red day, I'm using a thousand times my normal size because there's more of an edge in my favor. So in trading, bet heavy when the edge is in your favor and reduce your bet size when there's no edge. So today, I'm actually really, I mean, I might be the only guy that's really happy with a red day today because I only lost $1,000 today. Yeah, exactly, man. 20, 10, 20% of what I make every single day. So so long as I keep my losses under control, so long as I don't oversize and over trade, losing a $10,000 doesn't matter today because tomorrow I'm going to make $5,000, $6,000, $7,000, $8,000, you know? Yeah, and I did it. So I did the same thing with Alex. I knew that this stock could be trouble. Usually what happens is, you know, they let me and Alex win and they began, that's how they trap, right? We were like, whoa, we win. So notice what I did here. So I did everything correctly. Even though you do things correctly, you may still lose and that's okay. Losing small manageable losses is a part of the game, right? So I'll show you what happened here. So all I did was I waited for the outer lines, but this is the beauty part. I knew zombie arrows coming guys, 10, 30. Yep.  That's it. And then I reattacked at the $5,50 line, made some back. So but notice this guy. So make a plan. Doesn't matter what the plan is, right? You could be wrong or right with your plan. But if you stick with your plan, which concludes where to stop out. So I already knew ahead of time where it must, where I am stopping out. There's two couple conditions. Zombie hour, if the sucker is still strong as zombie hour, especially when it does the high date break during zombie hour, that's a huge sign that you must stop out. And that was around 14 something, man, like low 14. And they ran up in another $1.50 after that. So if we didn't do that, we would turn a small loss into a big loss. So I think we both did the right thing, Alex. Yeah. And you know, I just want to post the watches again, because it shows that today, what the process was saying. So this was our morning watches of the day. FWBI looking for a pop towards four, four, 24, 50 to scale in short. It literally hit those exact lines and tank. So that was really solid trade, but I see. So I see says this stock is easy to borrow and high volume pre-market. This means this is dangerous for a short. I will look for a quick trade, maybe 13, oh, that's supposed to be 1350, 13, 1350 and 14 lines to scale in 10% of a time, no more than 30% size with a pre-market high of the day stop. So the pre-market high of the day was about 1420. So if all failed, you would have still gotten out of 1420 and this thing hit 1560. So that's number one. The number one is if I just listen to the watch list, if I just avoid it, if I just did whatever, I would have been better off. But sizing helped me because if I was using size as if I was trading bed, bath and beyond first red day, this would have been a $50,000, $60,000 loss. But in reality, I only use a couple of thousand shares because I didn't think there was much of an edge and that's pretty much it. So today is a scratch day for me. Today is a red day for me. I'm not perfect. I don't win every single day, but you better be sure that when I do lose, I try to make it controlled and no more than the day's worth of work, which is what we preach in MIC. Yep, exactly, man. And once again, guys, take a look at this, man, the freakings at the zombie rule, zombie rule million times again, over and over, dude, 1030. Right here. 1030. Boom.  If it's high of day, so if we were bear traders, Alice, we would go long. Yeah, you know, I thought about it, but the reality is that again, I'm trying to, I'm trying to stick to my niche and stick to what I'm good at. And, you know, I'm not really good at going long. I'm not really good at this. I agree with you. So that's the thing, man. A lot of these people switch biases back and forth.  And then what happens? It starts to, we start to doubt and second guess every other trade. Correct. So if we pick, so in the morning, usually this is what happens guys, you make a game plan, either you're long or you're short. I don't like the fact, I don't like it switching back and forth because in the morning, you know, we, we determine maybe this is a long meter short, but if you keep switching, you are going to confuse yourself. You're not going to be ready for the big score. So such as the first red day, I don't care if, I don't care if it goes up a dollar. I'm not looking for that little move. We're looking at, we're waiting for that giant big move. That's our edge. So a lot of times in the past, I try to scalp, you know, and then you missed the big move.  That's it. And so, you know, I've been stalking this cause I'm looking at, so this is what I wanted to do. So let me show you guys. The plan doesn't need to work, man. You know, the, you'd need to make a plan that has a stop. So my plan was basically, I thought that it would break the high day, do a fail, break out, and then just take down the view off to cover, but did not do that. It popped up. And so what I did was I covered. That's it. You know, if this has tanked down from a fair fail breakout, I look like a genius.   And I'm not even happy.   I'm actually green on the day. So this is just one of many stocks I traded today. So yeah. And worst case scenario guys, what ends up happening is because we have a max loss in place, our risk is capped. So God forbid, if something happens, if it goes crazy, crazy, crazy, we make sure that our risk is always capped with a max loss auto liquidation at the broker level. And, and you don't need to hit your auto liquidation to stop out. I didn't even hit my auto liquidation today, but I control my loss. Yeah. The max loss on liquidation is not a replacement for a stock. Remember that guys, don't use that to stop out.  You don't need some of these guys that you only stop out with hit max loss. You see that on Twitter. It's crazy. Either you see them having a max loss, but that's like, dude, when you know you're wrong, get the hell out. You can always re-enter. So this is exactly what I did here guys. So check this out. So I stopped out, waited at the top, made money on this, did another channel trade here, and then went back, back up, did the same thing. So I mean, dude, I don't need to hit max loss for me to stop trading. That's, that's the bottom line guys. You can always think of yourself. You can always go back on into the trade. Not all days in trading will be perfect. There is not a single trader that is real that doesn't lose in the market. So losing days are inevitable. I think last week, I lost on Monday, I lost $1,000 on Monday, and then Tuesday I made $145,000.  If there's no opportunity, I'm not going to size up. So great. So if you're, if you're struggling with when to size in, you should not be sizing in every single day on every single death candle that you see. Okay. Cause that's the problem. The problem is you guys are sizing in on random stocks, wait for a stock that has an unusually large edge in your favor. And when those stocks appear that have unusually large edges in your favor, that's the opportunity to do unusually large size. But if not, I'm only using it like for example, today on ICI use maybe a thousand shares, thousand shares on bed, bath and beyond. I used a hundred thousand shares. Recognize the difference between the size on the opportunity, almost a hundred X more size I use on a better opportunity and almost 99% less size on a bad opportunity. So yeah, it's like, it's like poker man. You don't make the same bet every single time you have to look at the hand that you have. So same exact thing. Bed, bath and beyond was pocket aces. This other stock is like, you know, jack eight offsuit, right? And we just kind of splashed the pot, but you know, we understand the risk. That's the thing. You can gamble.  Like a thousand bucks is nothing, right? So if we're not splashing a hundred thousand shares, it's not pocket aces, but if you have pocket aces, guys, this is the thing I keep warning people. Pocket aces get cracked all the time. Even a 20 blackjack hand gets lost to a dealer's 21 draw. So at the end of the day, a hundred thousand shares that Alex goes in on an A plus pocket set up. He's willing to stop out. He's not going to be holding that for the river and dying. And that's the thing. I mean, we all, it doesn't matter if you have pocket aces, whatever. One outer in poker hits all the time. You hear your friends keep crying about that one outer, you know? And so you have to fold your hand and don't over become overly biased with your pocket aces, man. That's the bottom line. It comes down to risk management, guys. I don't care if you think it's a 99% set up. You don't want that one HKD, one was last week, ATXG. Shit, man.  And that's the thing, guys. The thing that MIC is based on is risk management. And you know, when we first started, people were laughing at us talking about process. People were laughing at us talking about hard stops. Now every single trader on the street is mentioning process and hard stops. And what we want to emphasize is the power of that because, hey, I lost $1,000 today and I made 145 times that last week. So if I keep losing $1,000 from now until the end of the year, I'm still going to be green on the year. That's what risk management is. Make sure in trading that your losses are always less than your wins. The way that you could do that is bet sizing on opportunity and auto liquidation. Correct. And the auto liquidation guys, I mean, I'm telling you, man, the moment as we started doing that, my trading is much better.  You may just go crazy and revenge rate. It happens all the time. Something snaps in your head and is very abnormal.  You can make money like we talked about. You could be making money 10 years in a row, but is that one loss that you should be careful about?  Same thing with drinking and driving. That's the thing. When you're drinking, you're driving. How often does that happen? Hardly, but when it happens, your life is over. So you need to put the max thing you lost on. So whatever it may be guys, it's insurance. That's what it's guys. So you can either blow up and then believe us or you can just realize yourself that man, it will come.  It's happened to us about how many times have we said, if I just stick to my loss, I would have had so much more money. How many times have we said that to ourselves, bro? Well, that's how we found all these rules, bro. That's how we set up all these things. It took us money to learn it guys. So you know how many times I do IG live and come back and the stock is broken, but they reclaim it and hold it up and they teleport it. I'm just messing around with 2000 shares and then it happens all the time. Those are the type of things that you know, the max that you lost will help you.  You come back.  We go to war with China. Oh my God, 9-11. I was there training at 9-11, Alex. I was training at 9-11. Thank God he didn't have any positions open. The moment that the towers, I hit all that, dude, you're dead. You wiped out all the stocks tanked immediately. You can't even get out. He halted and everything, but if you had that max day lost, where the hell it may be, it may have triggered and got you out. So you never know, man. If you're taking this seriously as a business and not gambling, you do not want to gamble with your life. That's what it is.  So it's usually the same lessons that we come on here every single week, every single month, every single year, keep repeating the same fundamental lessons, guys, because these fundamentals in trading are what build you into a profitable six, seven, or eight-figure trader. It's the same fundamentals. So if you cannot get these fundamentals down, you cannot become a six-figure trader, a seven-figure trader, an eight-figure trader. So it may sound simple what we're saying. It may sound a little bit basic what we're saying, but the reason why we say this stuff, because this is the building blocks to get you to that level that you are looking for. And think about this, guys. Do this as an exercise for all you guys at home watching this.  Just go back.   And then when you know, when you see how much stupidity comes in gambling, not stopping out, not using a max day loss, you know, setting your max day loss to maybe one or two days max of your average game. And think about this, man. You look at your losses. If your losses exceed more than two days of gains, add those up.   Yeah, sure. 100% sure. And that's what got me, man. I'll leave it one thing, Alex, also. Even your body has a max loss.  So your body has a max loss. You throw up and you pass out. You imagine if we defeat that, we'll be dead. Same thing with drinks. So everything in life has a max day loss. Auto liquidation, throwing up, okay, when you drunk. So, all right, guys. Anything else? Any open items for MIC? We have a meetup. Actually, we have a meetup. Steve posted, let me see if I pull it up real quick. Yeah, let's put that on the screen for everybody to see. I posted this. We're going to retweet it as well, guys, at the Bay Area San Jose.  Let me put it there. Okay. So check out our Twitter, guys. Let me repost Steve's meetup. So Steve's traveling around the world, guys. He's also having a meetup in Las Vegas, too. So I treated that. Let me see. Let me treat the other one. Where is this? Did you find it, Alex? I know. I'm still looking for it here. I'll just show you next week. Let me double check. Here, I'll retweet it. Use the email on my Twitter. Here, let me show you. September 10, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., guys. Sorry. Which is this coming weekend, guys? It's going to be in Milpitas at the park, I think. I guess I'm fresh. And now we're also planning a New York City meetup in October with Nancy and Trade Eric. And I think James is going to be there. I'm going to try to show up there. So I'll let you guys know when that gets a little bit closer, too. But that's going to be an October meetup in New York City. Hey, I think we should do this, Alex, with every bit of time. Add a meetup tab to our website. And we'll keep it. So we'll have a history of all the meetups so that people can go in their pictures and everything else. And then, so the upcoming events. So I think it's going to be easier than us having to retweet all that. Because I plan, we plan to do a lot of meetups, guys. The pandemic is over. We want to meet everybody. We want to help everybody. So get ready, man. We're going to travel around the world, hopefully. Let's do it, guys. So that's pretty much it. If you guys have any questions, feel free to text us at<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you guys want to learn some of our strategies for free, you guys can go to myinvestingclub.com slash webinar. And if you guys made it to the end of this video, short tease is that $145,000 trade on Bed Bath and Beyond. I actually have recorded. And I actually have some commentary on it. So hopefully soon I should be releasing that live trade to you guys. So if you guys made it to the end of the video, comment on this video live trade so that we know that you made it here. And maybe about if this video gets, you know, 200 likes, we could try to release it this week. Yep. So do us a favor, guys. We don't charge you the stuff. Just click like when you watch videos on Instagram or post. Just, you know, that's all we ask because, you know, we want more people to see this content so that they don't get scanned by other people. So I don't know anyone else that's going to post the $145,000 live trade on the internet, guys.  Bye guys.


Okay, we're back live at Oracle OpenWorld 2011. This is SiliconANGLE.tv's continuous coverage of Oracle OpenWorld, and we're here with Steven Manley, who's the CTO of EMC's BRS group. Steven, welcome. Thanks, good to see you again. Appreciate you participating in this spotlight on Oracle Backup and Recovery. We were at VMworld with you. Quite a different event. I mean, we just sort of rolled into town. Anna, when did you get in? I actually live out in the East Bay, so I got in about 12 minutes ago in the bar. Okay, so today's your first day, so you really don't have a sense of the vibe yet, but when we were at VMworld, we were talking about the pressures of virtualization and how that stresses backup and what customers can do about it. Talk about what's different in Oracle. So it's interesting, in terms of when we talk about things that are changing the backup industry, there really are usually three workloads that we see most often. One, which we did talk about last month, that VMworld is VMware. Another one, which we're not going to talk about here, is NAS environments, NAS servers. The third one really is large application environments of which Oracle is probably the most prominent, where, again, it's almost the same problem. You have this vast amount of data in a large database that is under heavy load, and getting a backup done efficiently, quickly, and reliably is a real problem for customers using the traditional methods. So how about virtualization in Oracle shops? I mean, talk about what you're seeing there. I mean, we heard Tucci and Gelsinger on stage today, talking about EMC strategy around virtualization generally, but VMware specifically. What are you seeing in Oracle environments? So I think there's still a split. So there are lower end Oracle deployments that we see. So a database that might be important for a customer, but maybe isn't their most performance-sensitive. And we see them putting those into virtual machines to try to really create that same virtual backup infrastructure that we talked about in Vegas. On more of the high-end database applications, the business critical where performance is absolutely sensitive, they're still usually running those standalone and separate, and they're looking for backup techniques that are going to fit in that environment. So there's still a split. So what are you seeing as far as adoption? I mean, is VMware taking the Oracle world by storm like it is the rest of the world, or is Oracle successfully holding the market off until it can get its own virtualization platform act together? I'm seeing it very much taken by storm. Again, especially on those lower end, when you get into things like, I want to do a test and development environment with Oracle, I see it very heavily when someone wants to be able to create, again, to be able to leverage some of the VMware disaster recovery techniques, some of the high availability techniques, some of the distance mirroring type of things, where, again, they might not be able to afford to do it on the physical servers, but on the virtual servers, they're seeing that that's really a nice play for them. Yeah, I've seen, well, we've done our own statistics. According to Wikibon, about half the Oracle shops have some type of virtualization going on. I saw an IOUG user survey that confirmed that recently, about 50%, and we've stated that 90% over time are going to be virtualized, and the vast majority of those are going to be VMware, which is not what Oracle wants, necessarily, but that's the reality of the marketplace today, isn't it? Well, when it comes down to it, you can get efficiency, you can get simplicity, you get cost savings, and again, one of the more important things for us, obviously, is it can really simplify the way you protect the environment, and protection is an important part, especially of Oracle environments, where that data is so critical to be able to keep, to protect, and to recover, and so having one mechanism to be able to do that for the vast majority of your data is just too attractive not to take. So, here at Open World, what are you actually doing at Open World? What's the integration strategy with Oracle? They're like, you guys are like frenemies. You know, you had Joe up on the stage, and it was very respectful, but at the same time, you guys compete in certain markets, and backup is an area that is actually pretty complimentary. You can pick up where they leave off. So, talk about what you're doing with integration, where you add value as an ecosystem partner. Yeah, so that's a good one, and I actually think that that cooperation is exactly the right mechanism. Like we talked at VMworld, one of the hardest things that comes in for a backup company for a backup application is, how do I get the backup done quickly enough, and efficiently enough to be able to hit your backup window, and how am I going to be able to recover it? And the amount of data is usually so vast in some of these bigger Oracle deployments that a traditional backup technique alone probably won't get you there. And so, Oracle is really, frankly, helping a lot with things like block change tracking, with things like applied incrementals, that really lets you dramatically reduce your backup window. And then, on our side, what we leverage is, we leverage our deduplication technologies to be able to allow people to keep those highly efficient incremental backups as full backups, so you can have the rapid recovery. So, it really is the marriage of the best of both worlds. You have EMC bringing the disk into play to enable fast backups and fast recoveries, and then Oracle providing techniques that we leverage to make them even faster and lighter weight in the production environment. You know, we're going to dig into the technical details a little later, but there's a shift going on toward what's in the Oracle backup parlance, what's known as RMAN. That's sort of the mainstream preferred best practice approach. And is that really where your integration focus is, or is it different? So, no, that's absolutely right. I think that really there's two pieces to look at when you look at protection, and I think you'll hear about this a little bit more later as well. One is, you need something to enable you to get rapid recoveries done, and that's where, again, something like RMAN can help in terms of putting the database in a QIES state, and then leveraging storage techniques to be able to get a consistent version that you can back up and recover quickly. And then the second piece is being able to then take that off to another type of media so you have that reliability and that security. And again, RMAN is absolutely crucial there because it allows you to track those backups. And the last part where RMAN is really a key focus area for us is, more and more we find DBAs wanting to be able to protect their own data. After all, it's their application. It's their neck on the line if things aren't available. And so they really want to have a little bit more active role. And RMAN, which Oracle has created, really lets the DBA have that degree of control, that degree of influence. So, yeah, RMAN is absolutely a focus area for us because it puts the hands in the control of the DBA so we can work with them. In the spotlight intro, I talked about the three Oracle sanctioned approaches. I don't know if you could hear, but it was user managed, which is essentially script driven. You're in charge as the user. So you really want to be in charge, wow. That's taking, that's putting your neck out there. But RMAN, much more automated, clearly the preferred approach of it, if you talk to the practitioners in an import-export, which really isn't backup. What about, and we talked about this at VMworld, and I'll be interested in your response vis-a-vis Oracle, what about things like CDP? Where does that fit? Is that a viable backup methodology or is that a different use case? So I think it's viable within certain parts of an Oracle environment. So again, one of the things I've always liked about Oracle is, with the Oracle log, as long as you're protecting your log and you're keeping that somewhere safe, you can take really any point in time backup that I can create and roll forward and roll back. Now where CDP can be useful is to be able to get you those more frequent points in time to roll back and roll forward from, because the last thing you want is you don't want to restore from 48 hours ago and then replay 36 hours of logs. That's not really the best way to spend your life. What you'd like to be able to do is roll back to an hour ago. You might do that once. Yeah, that's one of those things where you go, huh, I'm never doing that again. So you want to be able to get it to a more close point in time and then do the roll forward and roll back from there. So I think CDP has a role as long as it can get you to those more frequent consistent points in time that Oracle can then work from to roll forward and roll back to. So Stephen, we talked about your Oracle integration strategy. Can you talk about the integration strategy inside EMC? Sometimes those are even harder. You've got a portfolio that grows over time, right?  How are you guys organizing all that and what's your integration strategy and your vision? Right, so at a high level, the first part of any strategy that we work with on customers is you really want to start moving to disk as your infrastructure because it really does enable more efficient backups, more reliable backups, sort of lower TCO backups. And so that's really where it's all about you want to find a disk platform that you can centralize on. And that's, again, if you look, the core disk platform that we sell is the data domain platform that plugs in with everything from RMAN via NFS all the way through multiple backup applications and a bunch of other techniques. When you move beyond that, then you start to say, okay, I've got my data on disk, how do I manage that? And that really starts to come into play the backup software, which is the AVMR networker combination that allows you to manage that backend disk infrastructure and the set of versions you have. And then the last piece is, how do I get the backup data from where it is on the primary all the way back to that secondary storage? And that, again, is where you have multiple techniques, AVMR deduplication, networker with its more traditional agents that plug into applications. And so if you look at the way we're organized, it's all around first, get it onto disk and build that to work with anybody. And then second, build backup software that's really optimized for disk that plugs in both traditionally as well as next generation techniques. And then I have another co-op petition question because networker obviously doesn't have 100% market share, so you got to work with other backup packages. And there's an emerging set of backup packages that are very interesting. So what's going on there and how do you work through that whole co-op petition matrix, if you will? So the simple answer there is, no matter what you have, no matter what data you've got, we want to be able to bring it onto the data domain and we will remain an open platform, again, regardless of whether it's NFS, SIFS, VTL, Boost, we make those open protocols that plug in with anybody. In terms of our backup software, now obviously our backup software wants to tune itself to work as well as possible with that data domain disk system or the AVMR grid. But in terms of the actual storage piece, the goal is to be completely open there and not to play favorites. Okay, so your sales guys will argue that the combination is better and if the customer says, I don't care, I'm sticking with it, you know, backup vendor A. No problem, that's been a lot of, of course, data domain's heritage. And then it's on our backup software team to be able to deliver a product that shows the customer that it is in fact better with their data domain infrastructure, but that's on the backup software team to be able to deliver that. But as a disk target, you don't care. As a disk target, we really want to be open and again, open to any technique, again, whether it's our man or something else, we don't want to play favorites there. Excellent. All right, Stephen, well, thank you very much for coming on theCUBE. It was great to have you at VMworld. Appreciate you being at Oracle OpenWorld and sharing your vision and congratulations on getting to this point and I'm sure you're not done. A lot more to do together, right? There's always more fun to be had in the backup space. A lot more to do, so thank you very much for the time.


The gelasa news everybody take the top stories in crypto and bring them down at a bite-sized pieces Before we go on let me just do a quick little check make sure that the audio was good and the video was good That's kind of important before we start going live and doing everything else I think it's uh one of those things that we should actually know Yeah, it looks like we're good. All right. So today just the thumbnail suggested um There is an issue that is on the horizon and really what we're taking a look at is the crypto market We've taken quite a beating and to me And I had a lot of smart people army looks like uh, the things are rigged and there's only one way out And I'll explain exactly what that is So we're going to take a look at what is called a bubble or take a look at no tech upside And why I believe there is a huge amount of upside take a look at crypto history Then we're going to take a look at uh, a little nft action as far as uh Board ape yacht club or play to earn type of things of which one actually garnishes the most so Let's just jump right in. Let me share my screen so we can see what we're doing here First of all, welcome everybody. Thanks for stopping by. I'm gonna try to make this as uh as uh quick as possible Let's go over a little bit of Data, so let's see here share my screen Um Window and there we are so uh, I think it was everybody is uh painfully aware we are uh Just one of those times when uh, this is just one of those days where we're like well You know things are going up a little bit and then last in last 24 hours. We've got 4 up. That's pretty good If we uh break down into it just take a look at what is leading in charge. Well It's pretty good. Actually 24 hours, we've got uh 4 bitcoin going up a therium up 6 percent almost Binance chain or a finance coin 14 percent for salon. Wow Cardano 4 and everything else 24 percent for avalanche in the last 24 hours So when I talk about you know all these things And I you know we start talking about like you know buy the dips and just be patient and everything else It really does really come down to that but you have to understand This whole game that we're playing as far as uh investing and this is on the show is just investment opinion on investment advice Uh, the game is rigged and the game is rigged for the whales that can manipulate these Because you're going to see these big sloshes and these big moves and these 30 percent dips And it's just normal and it's just because there's an ability for these people to do that because we're only in like a two 2.2 trillion dollar market cap. So just be aware when I say that there's only one way out There really is only one way out and I'll get to that in a little bit So let's just take a look real quick besides The market itself And let's just break it all down into what exactly is going on and when all really comes down to this It starts off here And I wanted to start off with this article because you're going to see more of these articles just like this There's going to be people that are going to come in like, you know what? Yeah, you know you're doing pretty good on a wednesday But wait till tomorrow because there's going to be a drop and there could be and and that is the reality of the situation So you just have to be ready for these things Especially if you are new if you've been in the game for four or five eight nine years or so This is nothing to you But for the people who've been here a year or two years or less These are the lessons that you have to go through because we all just have to so you're going to see stuff like this Investment advisor Bernstein sees crypto as a monster bubble warns that market could drop 90 percent and I remember when I first got at this when I see these articles like this I was scared I was like, oh my god These are like supposed to be the smart money people And they're saying it's going to drop by 90 percent But you have to understand the mentality and the reasoning behind everything. So This was uh, Richard Bernstein CEO Richard Bernstein advisors And he had an interview with CNBC friday Now this is the thing where you would think yourself if you're new to the situation like wow This guy's got 39 years of experience on wall street Manages equity and asset allocation of portfolios at several of the world's leading broker dealer firms such as meryl lynch morgan stanley a merit prize UBS and invest net And uh, so when you're again when you're taking a look at this and you're saying Is this just one of those things where I should be really paying attention because I gotta tell you This looks pretty bad because again, this is one of those people Who you'd pretty much in the old days would look down and go this guy has a wealth of information Maybe that I should take a take a listen and we are we're going to take a lesson from what he's going to say And flip it on its head. So when we're finishing up He says uh, ceo was asked what assets investors should be avoiding and how they should enter 2022 He explained that the way to think about the markets is think about to think about it as a seesaw On one side, we have all that I would call the bubble assets tech innovations disruptions cryptocurrencies On the other side of the seesaw you have literally everything else in the world looking at 2022 and 2023 You want to be on the everything else in the world side of the seesaw because that's where the opportunity is Let me let me just say that again Mr. Bernstein CEO 39 years of experience Says the disruptors and the tech and all those sectors you should not be in that side That is a loser side what you want to be is away from that as much as possible Because they are cash starved and you should get in these these sectors because tech is just a dead horse You don't want to be on there and cryptos and disruptors That's not going to really pan out. That is exactly what he said and I cannot make that up So when you take a look at like okay, well, you know, if you again weren't really Getting into investments like well, maybe he's right because he got so much experience These are the things we have to be watch out for and then for him to say this he goes, you know regarding bubbles I think crypto is the biggest financial bubble ever in history. I think this is just a monster one and When he says things like this and and you're going to find more people like that and that's okay Because everybody's allowed to have their opinion, you know They can say well, it is a bubble and it's a funny thing because you can hear the same people saying the same thing that the The economy is ending crypto is ending That there's a crash right around the corner. There's no shortage of those people They're they're called chicken littles and they're everywhere and it's amazing how they can call a bubble Every single month and then in the 10th year Like it's a bubble then in the 15th, they're like, oh, see bubble brook. I told you. Yeah, it took you 15 years so like that was what was for the housing crisis and Of course, there was one but I think that there has been more money lost in the anticipation Of these bubbles than what it actually is and then you got to kind of take a look back and just think to yourself Okay, so when he's talking about tech if he's talking about tech And he says there's no real You know, there's no real money in that you should really get away from that. Just think of all the fang stocks What are fang stocks? Well fang FAA and g facebook apple amazon netflix and google and just so you know if you're not really familiar with that Let me bring this up here is that The fang stocks as of august 2021 the fangs make up about Almost 20 of the s&p 500 Which is a staggering figure considering the s&p is generally viewed as a proxy for the united states economy So let that sink in If we're talking again about The disruptors the tech industry. You don't want to be on top of that really? Well, I will tell you on top of those fangs Also in crypto it's an asymmetrical return if you could and this is this is an old Source this is actually a year old and that it's actually much higher So if you invest at $100 In january 2nd 2009 You would have 208 dollars in alibaba pretty good nine years. You double your money. Congratulations Must be a gold book Facebook you would add 520 microsoft 1k You know part part of those uh those big stocks visa 1.7 k apple part of the fangs amazon part of the fangs 3.3 k and bitcoin 9.2 million so you have to remember When we're talking about tech and innovations and where things are going they're a little risky There's no doubt about that and again on this channel. This is just an investment opinion not investment advice But we have to take a look at what are the asymmetrical returns and this is just One of those plays so then if you also want to take a little bit digger or dig deeper into it, I should say The thing you want to watch out for is the naysayers and the people that are coming forth Are usually the ones that are the most don't really understand the innovations in the tech and you know We'll always talk about uh, trolling monger and warren buffet And of course they came through and they said, you know what crypto is wrapped or bitcoin is wrapped poisoned Of course, they also passed on google because they don't understand it and a bunch of other Different texts and they would have made a lot of money. Is that is that a is that a bad thing? No, they just don't understand it That's okay. That's okay So this is the same type of thing that you would see as far as like when electricity was coming through Different industries that didn't want this to happen probably coal They said this is going to destroy the entire world Electricity, this is awful. This is innovation. This is a disruptor. You don't want that And then on top of that you may remember articles like this internet may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it That's what was december 5th 2000 December 5th 2000 and then you take a look at like an amazon This is a story about how in 1997 jeff bezos Gave a speech at harvard business school. You know what they told him They said sir, you're a real nice guy, but you should probably sell because you're way out of your league You don't know what you're doing That's exactly what they said and then to finish this up also to to finish up on that uh that that vein This is from barons in may 31st 1999 said that uh, this was an amazon dot bomb The idea that amazon Uh has pioneered a new business paradigm. It's just silly. He's just another middleman The stock market is going to catch up and of course, that's when everything was starting to to uh flounder so When we took a that you know, that is essentially the no tech upside So if you are paying attention to what people are saying, that's fine It's always good to get a plethora of information so you can do your own research But just make sure you have all the facts and everything else available so you can be like, you know what? I take your opinion But there's also the one uh on the other side of that and then if we also want to take a look at that except we're On digital asset news. Let's take a look at just a little bit of history. This is one of my favorites I like doing these things. This is This is what uh on 99 bitcoins.com The bitcoin obituaries and you're gonna see this again and again. This is just Uh in the last year bitcoin has died died 434 times this is from articles all over the place and the recent one was November 29th bitcoin is a Ponzi scam This one was really even funnier on November 8th Uh bitcoin delusion when it was up pretty darn high and then uh october I personally think that bitcoin is worthless and down the line and if you really want to zoom out It's pretty funny because this is this is the one month. There was just one three months Year to date a lot one year and if you take a look at all Bitcoin has died a lot And it's funny because it just keeps going and going and going just as people like nope. Nope. Not gonna make it It's not gonna make it. It's a Ponzi scheme. It's a Ponzi scheme. Get out. Get out now.  And you have to understand just like it said in the thumbnail the game is rigged The game is rigged because these people these whales the ones that are actually in here They know how to manipulate and uh, just watch just watch any other any other youtube they They talk uh at a tremendous pace for how much things are being manipulated and things like that But in all honesty, it really doesn't matter and i'm going to show you one more thing about history Did you know that you can go to coinmarketcap.com? There's a button. There's a link. It'll have historical reference.  Let's just pick a date May 19th 2013. I want to show you how much we've how far we've come And I want to just zoom out while we're going to zoom in a little bit Uh, this was the top 100 actually top 14 It's not 14. It's hilarious cryptos and bitcoins number one at 121 dollars And the circulating supply was 11 million. That's pretty good. Not bad light coin, which was the uh bitcoin silver I guess they would call it back then 58 million name coin pure coin nova coin tear I don't know any of these things. I have no idea because I wasn't around that time But look how far we've come let's back up Let's take uh, let's go to 2015. Let's go Let's go june. I get june 21st. Why not? look at this Bitcoin again 14 million sorry cutting supply. It's pretty good and the price 243 XRP was a penny like always three bucks dogecoin was number four. Holy smokes stellar Was a fraction of a penny pure coin made safe. I remember this one made save point. Look at monero back then 52 cents. Holy smokes. And then some other stuff said again. I've never seen in my life I have no idea which ones these are and uh, yeah, pretty amazing, right? Let's go back Let's go to let's go to 2016 august 28th. Now things are picking up the pace a little bit. You got bitcoin at 573 It's pretty good. And then there's a new new play on the block called ethereum Rocketing up the second spot at $10 and 93 cents XRP it's a bubble, but it's a bubble, but you have to understand it's a bubble and you have to get out That's what they're going to tell you all the time if they're in classic a dollar dash 12 bucks Factor them. I don't know what that's list. I remember that when it was that's waves. It was around. Wow 15 cents stellar 21 Not a list coin. Maybe that's for the gym equipment and tether of course here we are And on and on and on and on we go so just remember that uh manipulation is uh is Alive and well and just makes sense So when I talk about it's rigged, we all know it's kind of rigged. We know what is and I promise you there's one way out There is one actually there's many ways out of crypto Let's be honest if you want to take those routes, but to me and again I can't tell you what to do. I'm not a financial advisor I can only just tell you what I'm doing and for me There really is only one way out and it's kind of like it's a very stoic stoicism type of way to put things which is the only way out is through And the obstacle really is the way and that is that is the truth and if we take a look at at this to me Right now as things go down, I can't buy anymore. I've been buying all the dips But today I'm up like well an avalanche. I'm pretty good 24 it's pretty good a day And then some other ones I'm a five or four percent or something like that And then I will I will dollar cost average you know dollar cost average I'll take a little bit of profits, but I'm mostly just a holder And over time I'm going to take my lumps just like you are You know if you're doing this the same type of thing and the longer that I'm in this game The longer that I'm in the cryptocurrency game the more I realize that I just I've tried trading I'm not really a good trader. I mean on basics, right when we take a massive dip I'm like well, it's going to go back up and usually does But I'm not I'm not going to trade and I think really what I just showed you was the long haul 2015 2016 2017 2018 And now here we are so the the reality is there's one way out and the one way out for me Just to keep doing the same exact thing and dollar cost averaging and I'll dollar cost average out when I actually need things But you have to remember the reason why I do these videos just I'm trying Well to give value back that's for sure because when I was coming through it was just hype and nonsense all day long It was I remember John McCaffey told me every day that bitcoin is going to a million And a ton of other youtubers told me the same thing and I despised them for that honestly And uh when I'm in this situation, I just want to remind everybody that it's really is the long game I know that it's an asymmetric return, but the reason why I'm so calm on these days I've been doing this for four years five years now just dollar cost averaging and taking my lumps So to me on these days, it's not a big deal. Now if you're just into it I know these days kind of I mean these days are pretty good actually, but the last couple of weeks or so Not the greatest, right? It's okay Because if you just zoom out and just realize what you've got and where things are going the things we just talked about It's all gonna be all right. So that's what I got and then as far as that but I did want to uh Take a look at one more thing which was uh the nfts Let's see. Where is this? Four of five Let me break this up the question that I keep getting at these board apiak club or data earn save that the question so This builds on everything we just talked about because to me when I look in the future As an investor, I'm looking at the next The next two years the next three years the next five years the next seven years And that's what I try to just do as an investor because I know I'm going to be in it for the long haul So to me when I take a look at uh, you know, what's the next play? I mean My goals are not your goals, right? So I'm not going to dump everything into bitcoin because Right now. I don't think there's like, uh, you know a pretty huge upside I mean it could go to a million, but I I know it could but the question is time So to me I try to like, you know hedge my bets So the question then becomes well rob if we're taking a look at nfts and we've seen, you know, pretty great big jump in that Where does it all come from and what i'm talking about here? I'm not doing a great job here I'm talking about nfts and We're talking about Where is everything coming from and this was a good On-chain analysis from the block crypto and it talks about weekly trade. Ah, yeah, I guess yeah this song I'm looking for which is Weekly nft sales by category. Can you see all this all these these dark spots here?  This is ardent collectibles. This would be like your doge pound and board board apiacht club and What else uh cyber cons and uh, and these nuts and those sorts of things so like, uh Yeah, it's an empty so like and these this ardent collectibles You think that's like this is all you hear about as nfts But really if you take a look behind the picture, this is what's driving everything gaming gaming gaming nfts Which is pretty amazing right over here wasn't too much gaming all of it And that was just weekly nft sales by category Weekly nft transactions by category and if this is it gets even more pronounced look at this gaming is just Eating everything up even those nfts and we know how big those are right and our collectibles a little bit correct correction And then average prices and so on and so forth. So when I take a look at this My big my next big play that I think about is of course we can do the blue chip cryptos and everything else. That's great The next big plague for me is I've been talking about as metaverse and play to earn games There was a great video and I recommend everybody. I'm gonna I linked it in the description I think it I hope I did but it's uh, this is from blockchain gaming Unchained gaming and this guy It's great guy. It's pretty funny And he says is if the video is all about is the metaverse good for humanity and how people are using play to earn to actually make an actual living and the games to actually get into and actually to invest to now As opposed to later and it's a great video. Go check that out on top of that I've been also covering this and I'll link those at the very end Uh, we've talked about apigotchi as far as a play to earn game We've taken a look at the actual metaverse as far as like the sandbox and how to You know pick up pick apart those different places There's another project that I think is going to be very big Elemental knights is going into this game called against apigotchi. I know this sounds a little bit uh A little bit out there, but just know this here's the thing this elemental knights game. It already is on ps4 It's already a nintendo switch. It's already on ios and it's already on android and they're taking all their users That are doing it right now and they're going right into the metaverse play to earn game So if you think that these guys these people love the fact that they're getting, you know, free to play games Well, guess what now they're coming over to ginsokishi and this is the thing It's just getting started everything starts this week So I did a deep dive video and I will it's linked in the description. You can check it out And uh, this is another project that i'm getting into and again on this channel I'm super biased. So everything I talk about I've already invested into And that's because I've skin in the game. That's what we got. So look, uh, that's it for today. Let's do Let's do a little q&a. I know that's a little bit longer But I think it was important especially today just to kind of zoom out and then also talk about The way out which to me is dollar cross averaging Just keep them going the same way because in four or five years I think some things are gonna be pretty big and also take a look at the next evolution Of what to actually I'm investing in again not financial advice or financial opinion. Let's go to the comment section shall we comments Woo speaking quite a long time dj flexa. That's a good one cyber attack 2022 23 It's a good question. No idea could be Uh, most folks go to church for the gospel kind of damn for the gospel. Thank you. Oh man, eric murphy comic Well the channel great info good. I appreciate it Who's gonna think negative to say? Those are the fun ones Ah joker smokers are the same. It's kind of the same thing. Uh, huge wick huge bounce down slipping exactly right and you know, this one's a little bit different because in the last bull run 2017 We saw You know, we have pullbacks of 20 30 percent same thing over here. However Not as frequently and it seems like we're going to go forth. I Thought there's gonna be fireworks in december. It doesn't look like it's turning out that way And there's two reference points one ral pal talking about how the hedge funds are locking everything in because they're selling off everything And locking the profits so they can say we got a big one or a big winner And then uh, simon u from storm x said the exact same thing and of course, there's also a story. I've been talking about the last Two weeks where these different CEOs, uh, you'll have like the bill gates and the elon musk They've been selling off like 69 billion dollars worth of their stocks before the end of the year For tax reasons. So I don't know if the December's gonna be that one qfo nut zed run 80k by the beginning of february, I sure hope so I expect volatility me too 160k. Yep Who does the sec go up for ripple is settled? They're gonna have an uphill battle And NFTs are a joke for art. It's upon the scheme probably but remember It's it's not about the actual art. It's about the access it gives you Thanks dan about my first, uh, but kind of Congratulations, that is not easy Hi, how you doing? You forgot to mention we are the All right guys, that's it. So not too many big questions. I just wanted to make sure that we are on the same page That's what's going on. So look if you like today's video, give it a thumbs up I'll also consider subscribing all things we talk about our time sensitive and then also, uh, Don't forget I'm going to link that again. So kushi video and it just I mean the private sales this week and As far as like nft collection and land and all that stuff I did a pretty Comprehensive deep dive doing here a lot of people talk about it. Check that out. That's all I got for you All right. Thanks so much. See you on the next one
