Good morning, folks. Welcome to, well, geez, I've got my stuff all kind of screwed up here, but welcome to the September 30th, the fantastic Friday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, Steve. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. And let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. When you and I make that one little two-by-four shift, well, it means we can find the gift. In every set of circumstance, that life is gonna toss at us. Now today, you and I, we're gonna go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past eight o'clock in the morning. That's right, if you listen at the normal time, which would be 1107, we are recording this show today at eight, but everything that we share with you should be pertinent for the trading day ahead. Of course, if you are listening to us live, we would love to hear from you. So one way to contact this is by phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, if you can't call in, but you still have a question, you can always send me an email. You send that to Steve at tfnn.com. And inside the subject heading, please put radio show question. Of course, if you're listening in, you're in our Tiger's Denwell Eni in every ping we'll do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on Fantastic Friday. Of course, this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show right now. We've got US equity futures trading slightly to the upside that dows up 18 points. The S&P is up about 18 as well. I'm sorry, the Nasdaq's up about 18. The S&P is up seven and the Russell 2000 up about six points. Over in Asia last night, it was a mixed bag. The Shanghai off 17 are half a percent, nearly 2% for the Nikkei, 485 points, but the Hangsang closed tire by three tenths or 57 points. Over in Europe right now, you've got a slightly green market. The FTSE is up one point and the DAX is up 33. Gold's up three bucks, Silver's up 20 cents. Platinum is off five bucks. Palladium is down 30 bucks out there. Natural gas is up 16 cents. Street trade now to $7 and three pennies. Life's recruit is straight out to 80, 63. That's off 60 cents. Weed futures are up. US dollar index up 408 ticks. Street trade out 112, 61. I do have a 10 minute delay there so that could be up just by a few. So let's begin the day. Let's begin our day, understand where we are and let's go take a look at the cash indices right now. So we'll switch over to all the primary cash indices out here, our top eight, got the Dow in the upper left-hand corner. So the Dow, you've got an A to B equal CD to the Dow pattern that has completed. The A point being out here on August 16th. The B point looks like it probably was September 6th of the day, it looked like September 6th. Retracement up into September 12th and boom. It makes that bullish reversal candle two days ago. That was a bull sash candle. That says that the support level, the key support level now, is gonna be the low of that prior session. That prior session being 28, 958, 22. But the point is the Dow Jones has a buy the D point better. What price should do is target its oscillator and change limits at 29, 831. If price able to close above that, you should see a further retracement, typical further retracement, or target would be its recent highs, which basically takes us back to its TD-9 count breakdown area, 32006. Now price closes below, the level of September 27th, 28, 958, 22. That spells curtains for the market. Now what it spells is lower price. And during the show today, we'll pull up the longer term charts for the indices, try to get a feel for their communicating to us as well. Right now we're just looking at daily charts. The same pattern really unfolded. You've got a TD-9 count bottom in the S&P. You've got to buy the D point pattern. The key is that the key level of support on the cash in C for the S&P 500 is 36, 23, 29. Not until that gets taken out. Well, we have a failure at the lows. Of course you've got resistance up at its oscillator change line. That should be its target. That's up at the 37, 41 level. The NDX 100, same kind of pattern out here. It's got to buy the D point pattern. That took place because of the bullish engulfing candle that formed on the 28th. That goes ahead and that sets up.  I still think the support level is 11, 175, 29. If we take a look at the Russell 2000, Russell 2000 has a TD-9 count bottom. Its key level of support there is 16, 53, 40. If we take a look at the semis, semis are in bar number eight. Today we'll complete bar number nine as long as the semi-conductors close below. So let's give you that number. They've got to close below 23, 73, 47. So I would say you wouldn't have much rally in order to get a TD-9 count bottom pattern out there. But, I can't say but, I can't say but, I have said but. Yeah, that's the only pattern. Well, the other option would be because it's by the D point pattern that formed this bullish engulfing candle from two days ago. That got negated yesterday with close below that. So you could get these semis could also form another bullish reversal candle. Again, I don't think it confirms it by the D point pattern. Let me just make sure here. I think my recollection from yesterday, we took a look at this and the A to B equal CD was quite a bit below where price currently is at. Let's just make sure of that. Yeah, it really is. So the only real bottoming pattern today that I could see inside the semis would be the bar number nine completes and it closes below the close of bar number five. So real possibility. Transports, they've got a TD-9 count bottom. So their key level of support to be watching, observing is going to be out at the 11, 9, 60, 50 area. The NASDAQ composite has a, by the TD-9 count bottom pattern, New York Stock Exchange has a TD-9 count and by the D point pattern. So each of these cash indices that's we're looking at should target their oscillator and change lines. Now, let's go take a look at, let's do this one step at a time. Yeah, let's do this one step at a time. Let's start here with the equity future contracts. So I want to share with you is each of the equity future contracts daily also have bottoming patterns out there. So we know the market's attempting to form a bottom. It's also attempting to bust out those lows as we saw yesterday out here. So today, not sure what's going to unfold, but when we take a look at the NQ charts, what I really want to hone in on are the intraday charts right now. So what's going on? So in the case of the NQ, I'm just simply going to open up a 10 minute chart. What we know about the 10 minute chart is that at its highs, its highs were about five o'clock this morning, this went ahead and formed a rogment of indicator top. Prior to that, there was a TD9 count that formed at 3.30 this morning. So there's two topping patterns that are in place out here. Now you can see that the 10 minute chart has a nice A to B equal CD to the downside that it completed. That A to B pattern, A to B looks like this. Let's draw that in there. And then all I'm going to do is just move the A to B to the C point out here. That C point right there, you can see this made more than a one to one A to B equal CD. That bullish reversal candle did not come until eight o'clock this morning as we were coming on the air. So you now have a confirmed bottom pattern. Doesn't matter whether the, and price side that A to B equal CD pattern confirmed at its TD9 count breakout level. That is where you would expect an instrument to find support if it is still bullish. So at this stage here, is it still bullish DB? Well, it will be if price can close above that red oscillator and change line. See how that color changed? Out there you get a valid bottom. Price goes up and targets that level. So not unless price close above 11.269 will suggest that it then wants to go take on its next resistance area. That's 11.293 and above that 11.316. So if it's 11.14 in the morning, you're trading above 11.316. Well, that says we need to go take look at the other intraday charts to figure out where their resistance zones are located.

Yeah, folks, 818 in the morning, equity futures, US equity futures still pointing a bit higher. We're taking a look at the charts for the NQ. What we've established here is the first key level of support to be watching. Certainly throughout the morning is 11-226. That was the completion of a 10-minute Gartley buy pattern right at its breakout level to the breakout level. If that area fails, then the next area of support, coming from the 15-minute chart, would be its breakout level. And that's at 11-192. The 30-minute chart, which completed a sell the D-point pattern in A to B equal seating at the upside, is trading below profile support. So I don't really have support. The only other support that I've got out here is its swing point from 12-30 this morning. That is between the range of 11-180 to about 11-209. The NQ also has a sell the D-point pattern price right now is sitting on support. That's its red oscillator and change line. The same thing for the 120-minute chart. Now, the 120-minute chart formed a nice TD9 count bottom pattern out here. And if price can get back above its most so, and it had an A to B equal seating, but it was not a confirmed sell the D-point, no bearish reversal candle. So price can overtake the high. So let's say it's 11-19 in the morning and price is trading above 11-351. What the message there for the NQ would be is price should go target 11-588. Now, I know I haven't answered the question if somebody asked it. But what happened is bust out to the lows where is price likely headed to? So we'll try to answer that question as well. If we take a look at the 240-minute time frame chart, what we have here is a rose mint and indicator bottom with inside a bullish structured profile. Let me just expand out the chart. That way each of us are looking at the exact same chart out here. So because we're in a bullish structured profile what price is dealing with here is we're both buyers and sellers believe there's fair value with inside the 240-minute range. The range is between 11-188 and 11-566. Now if price can close above 12-11-283 where did the 12 come from? I didn't, 11-283. If you get two consecutive close above that then its signal to you and I is that price should then go target 11-566. But it takes that out, then you're looking at 12-140 as being a price target. All right, so that's what's going on the interday. Just to summarize here, you still got bottom patterns inside the NASDAQ 100 inside the NQ. We don't with regard to Apple. There's no doubt about that. So that's where some selling pressure is at. What we haven't looked at here, we should, well let's go do that right now. Let's pull this over. Is let's first take a look at our Taz market breadth for the 30-minute timeframe. So for the 30-minute timeframe, that's the S&P. Let's get the NASDAQ over here. There we go. So as we can see right now, so what this represents, if you take a look at the left-hand upper left-hand panel there, what this is telling us is how many instruments are trading above, inside and below market profiles on a 30-minute basis. So right now with regard to the NQ, it's very bullish. You've got 64 instruments above the top, 17 below the bottom out here. And this suggests that for this timeframe, market conditions are such and the time frames below are such that you should see a further rally out there. That's coming from the NQ. Let's take a look at the S&P 500 for that same timeframe. So for the S&P 500 for its 30-minute timeframe, I believe it too is also bullish. We have not looked at the ES many. It is, you've got 188 instruments trading above the top of their profiles versus 88 below. Now the message here for the 30-minute chart is different or should be different or may be different than we have for the 60-minute timeframe. So let's go ahead and pull that over here. And on a 60-minute timeframe, we can see that for all the speed dials, here's the S&P 500, for the 60-minute timeframe, 94 instruments trading above the top, 247 trading below the bottom. So even though the 30-minute chart, market profiles bullish out there, the 60-minute, the next timeframe is bearish and that suggests we should have a choppy market. We've seen the choppy market all morning out here inside the equity future contracts. So that should continue. If this switches to a bullish and the 30-minute stays at bullish, well then we take a look at the 240-minute timeframe, the four-hour timeframe, as we take a look at it, it's quite bearish as well, meaning 98 instruments trading above top of their profiles, 229 below the bottom. So the point here, and if we take a look at the NDX100, that's what we've got up on our screen right now, you can see that this too is bearish for all four timeframes. So on a 60-minute basis, you've got 17 instruments above, 37 below, for the 240-minute timeframe, you've got 27 above, 35 below. So again, you've got bearish crossovers. It's an Aztec that probably is the one that can lift all tides. So you wanna watch those charts, that's what we just took a look at right here. Now we did answer the question, don't know if somebody had the question, which is where is price likely headed to if it busts out the lows? So for that, we wanna go back to our black background charts out here. So let's do that, let's pull up the NQ charts, we've got multi-timeframe charts out here. We get this going. And so if we take a look at patterns, so let's say the lows are taken out, let's just focus in on the lows from July. Now what I've got up on my screen here right now for the NQ, well really a couple different things. What I've got up here on my screen for the NQ is the synthetic symbol that I use out here. So sometimes numbers are off just a tad, but if the lows get taken out, whether we're looking at the December contract or Stevie's synthetic version, we're really gonna get the same outcome. So that outcome is a close below the June lows, June 13th lows, would then generate, I think a larger A to B equal CD to the downside. So today's action, all price action always is important to us, but today since we're trading inside those June lows, if they get taken out, then that's gonna suggest an A to B equal, there's several A to B equal CD patterns out here. So that we just use the data that gets printed, that gets provided to us each day, each week, each month, and we redraw lines in the sand out here. So knowing that that is the B point, if that swing would be taken out, okay, that's pretty easy for me to determine, easy for you to determine as well, then all I'm looking for is where's that next high come in? And that was the trading week that began on August 15th out there. So that one to one A to B equal CD, this is only a 46% retracement would get us down to 8093. I would say that 8093 would not be its final destination, only a 43% retracement. Price traded along the left side of that C to D lag, that would suggest to you and I that we would that this could do or should do more than a one to one A to B equal CD pattern of downside. Now we don't have that signal just yet, but we close below those June lows today, that would be the likely signal and that would be supported if we take a look at the monthly time frame chart here for the NQ. So the monthly is trading below profile support. You'll see that it's A to B equal CD, lot less noise in the weekly, way less noise than the daily out here. That's gonna give us that same A to B equal CD price projection, 8093 to the downside. So again, those June lows are very important out here. Now the interesting thing is if you were to do confluence and which we have on this chart here for the quarterly time frame and we go all the way back to the 2008 lows out here. That's right. The low that came in for the NQ out here was the month of October of 2008, not March of 2009. If you go from that low up to the high, looks like I might have been off just by a tad out here. I'm not gonna worry about it. The high being the October 2021 highs out there, the 0.382 retracement is right around the 10763 mark. It's off just a tad, I can see that. I'm not gonna spend time trying to deal with that. If we take a look at retracement off of the 2020 lows out there up to the highs out here, well the 0.6 and 8 retracement area is in the 10468 level. So this is your confluence zone. So price has got back very close. Now the bottom of its profile is right in that range as well, 10, 8, 14. So around 10, 4, 70, 10, 7, 60, 10, 8, 14. So the real key level is watching what happens if price gets below again those swing points from June up there. Cause they would be simply two and a half a term. Price is headed much lower.

You've got the U.S. Equity Futures are pointed to the upside, Dow Futures up about 80 points, NASDAQ about 54. Of course, we've got a lot of movement so I don't know what does release. Well, it's 8.30. It is the last Friday in September, so something was just released. My apology for not knowing that. Now we were going to the negative here in the Dow. So we'll let this thing here play out for the next 10 minutes or so. What was it that, you know, I just don't see it. What breaking news? What was the numbers that were reported out here? My apology for not knowing core prices, core PCE prices out here. So let's go back to the, you know, we were taking a look at the NQ out here. What I want to do is, let me make sure we're on the right charts here. No, we're not on the right charts. Oh yeah, yes we are. Okay, perfect, all right. So what I want to do is, here's the longer term charts as well. So we're taking a look at, you know, if the lows of June get taken out, specifically right now, we'll take a look at the NQ or the NDX 100. So I just wanted to bring this back really to the NDX for you. And here if we take up for this, you've got the yearly chart. The early chart right now has a bearish engulfing candle. We completely engulfed the prior year. We're trading in the 2020 arrange out there. Of course, we still have a few months left in the year out here, but that could be, you get that bearish engulfing candle. That could be suggesting that the markets move lower into 2023, maybe even 2024. We'll take things one step at a time. Here, you can see the June lows. You can see an A to B, I've drawn in an A to B equal CD pattern here for the monthly timeframe chart. So those lows, what you're watching today as we end the month is if price does close below 11.037.21, the NASDAQ 100 cash-in-to-see chart for its monthly timeframe, we'll suggest an A to B equal CD to the downside. That would take us to its next TD-9 breakout area, which is the 74.23 range. As we look to the weekly timeframe chart, it has a TD-9 count bottom. So therefore, if today price closes below 11.037.21, that same level out there, that pattern will get negated to negate a TD-9 count bottom. That suggests lower price out there. So we know what the, if the lows get taken out, what that is suggesting to us, we also know that there are bottom signals, both intraday. We took a look at those earlier.  Now, if the seasonal pattern, this is the seasonal pattern for the NDX-100, this is a 37 year, believe it's the, yes, 37 year pattern that takes a look at just the, I could expand this out, just the midterm election cycle years. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine data points that we have for the NDX-100. So it just takes a look at those years. Now this suggests that the NDX-100 does not bottom until the October-ish timeframe out here, not until maybe next week or the week after out there. So the NDX-100 suggests that it wants to make a move to the downside. That's sort of support, not sort of, really supported by the charts that we take a look at Apple. So if we put up the Apple charts out here, we'll do that here momentarily. I think these are the Apple charts, yeah. If we look at the Apple charts, I just simply expand out the daily timeframe. What you'll see out here is an A to B equal CD pattern. That says if Apple were to form a bullish reversal candle today, it would confirm a buy the D point, a currently buy pattern. Short of that price should head lower. That head lower would be headed back towards the June lows. In the case of Apple, that would be somewhere around the range of 129.04 to 132.39 out there. So pay attention to today's candle session here for Apple. Short of a bullish reversal candle, it suggests lower price. As we take a look at the weekly timeframe here chart, oh, I just deleted it. Hmm. It don't like doing that. So I know that Steve, give me a minute here folks. I don't want to have to recreate this. Let me close this out. Let me not save that. There we go. Thank you. Sorry about that. I'm going to put these. I shouldn't be able to pull this back up if this works right. So all three charts for Apple should come up. But it does, there we go. Good. So I've got the weekly. It's got Nike in there. Okay, that was what was in there. We could talk about Nike as well. But first let's get these Apple charts back up on the screen. Look at the weekly charts for us. Right now in the pre-market here, let's see what Apple is doing. So Apple closed out at 142.48. Last trade fired off at 142.72 out here, APL. Let's get those charts up on our screen out here. And we're going to go to the weekly timeframe. So we know that there's no bullish reversal signal, at least at this stage of the game, in the pre-market here for Apple. As we look at the weekly timeframe charts, there we go. What we can see here is price very well may be targeting this descending trend line out here. So that would be a logical place for Apple to head to. Now where is that going to be? It's in the 125 ish area, since there's a TD9 count breakout area at 120.707 and the TD9 count bottom inside of Apple on a weekly base was June 17th. That would be where price would be targeting. The high of that TD9 count weekly session is at 137.34. We're trading at 140.183. So you want to watch that area as well. Now the volume there is 541 million shares. So far this week, Apple has done 452 million shares. So you want to watch that, if price gets down there, tests and rejects that swing point, does it on lighter volume? That could be signaling to us at least a short-term rally or a bounce out there. On a monthly basis, Apple is still trading with inside. It's a monthly profile at closed below 140.48. Again, trading around 140.185 in the pre-market right now but a closed below that would suggest run for those June lows or perhaps 123.13 out there. Speaking of Nike, let's just, since we had seen those charts here earlier, Nike is trading out at 84. I closed at 95 yesterday. So let's get those Nike charts back up on our screen. See if we could try to figure out where they are headed to or where price is headed to, clearly lower. But the question is, do we see some kind of pattern, some kind of breakout support, some kind of profile support, some kind of anything out here. And as we open up the daily timeframe charts here for Nike. Let's do that. What do we have? From a bottom signal standpoint, we don't have anything other than an A to B equal CD to the downside. So the A to B pattern, that looks like this. We just simply go ahead and take that line. We've moved this over or tried to move this over here. There we go. We move that over to the C point. So you can see here, more than a one to one A to B equal CD, the buy the D point pattern. Actually, it does have a buy the D point pattern out here. That's going to get negated with a close today below, if price does close below 95, even Stephen and you're trading at 84 right now. So that's a likely outcome. That suggests that price continues to have lower. It would need another both reversal candle to confirm another buy the D point pattern out there. If we look at the weekly timeframe chart here, price headed lower. There's no bottom signal. In fact, it's negated a bottom signal. You are, I take it back. You are in wave number seven. Now that can extend itself through next week and the week after. The wave number seven, just a very small part of the Chapman wave out there needs to is only confirmed when you get a higher low. So short of this, so Nike trading blow, it's on a weekly basis. It's breakout support of 96.55. Headed back here to its TD nine count for March of 2020. The high of that is a 74.06 or at 84.30. So very likely, at least on the weekly chart, that's what it suggests Nike suggests that's where price is headed to on a monthly timeframe chart. You're going to form bar number eight this month today. Bottoms can't form on bar eight, but you still have bar nine that has to complete in order for bar nine of Nike to complete. That means in the month of October, price would have to close below 102.20 out there. So if you're hanging your hat on a T nine count on a monthly basis, don't know if I would do that. Instead, what the monthly chart is suggesting to you and I is Nike should go target the 84.11. Well, straight at 84.22 right now in the pre market. So what happens if Nike closes below for the month 84.11 out here? Well, that would signal to you and I that Nike could be making its way back to 54.59. Yeah, that would be the message. So Nike, watch the 84.11 area today and that should provide you with some information. Now, let me just check here real quickly. We've got, we're going into a break out here. So if I don't have any private messages or email requests out there, we'll go take a look at, they will go take a look at the metals out there. Goldilocks trading out at 16.75. That's up $6.44 cents.

This program is brought to you by Vista Gold, traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Got folks, 8.42 in the morning, equity futures still jumping around after the release of the inflation date out here. Right now you do have US equity futures pointed slightly higher, about a quarter percent to the upside for the NASDAQ, the ES, Russell 2000 about four tenths and the Dow is basically flat out there. So we're going to go take a look at Goldilocks. It's also been moving around a bit. Trading out right now at 1677 and we're going to take a look at the longer term charts out here. So we'll switch over to those charts. You'll see both gold and silver. You'll see the yearly, the monthly, the weekly and the daily time frame. So if you take a look at the yearly charts here for both gold and silver, you see 2011 form TD nine count tops for gold. It was the bar following bar number nine. And that says at that high out there, 2076.50 is a real key level of support or resistance, I should say. And we know that because it's already been tested and that held the case of silver, the TD nine count also in 2011, identified the top out there. Now, in the case of silver price pulled back to its breakout level of support right around $12.07 out there. And that is held from the yearly basis. Focusing on a gold out here, we can see that we have a monthly, well, you've got a monthly TD nine count top. We have a roadsman to indicator top out here. And that suggests that price could be targeted. Price does have lower. We don't bottom out here. Then the downside target for Goldilocks should be in the 1574 area. That's its monthly TD nine count breakout level. On a weekly timeframe for gold, there's an A to B equal CD to the downside. There's at least a couple that you could draw in here. The one that looks to be most operative right now, the A to B would look like this. If we go ahead and we take that A to B leg, we move that to the C point out here. We'll see that we're inside that one to one level. Right now, gold is showing a weekly bullish piercing candle. If we get a bullish reversal candle at day's end on a weekly basis, you'll have a confirmed by the D point pattern on a weekly basis for Goldilocks. What that then should then suggest to you and I is our price will target its oscillator change line. That's in the 1722 ish area. That lump number is going to go up and down. So I've just given you the area right now. On a daily timeframe, gold already has a confirmed TD nine count bottom, a confirmed roadsman to indicator bottom. The price right now is taking out. It's been trying to get back above its daily profile. Old support that became new resistance. That level is 1670 40. Retrained at 1676 right now, a close above 1670 40 would suggest that gold should then try to make a run for the top of the profile. And that is at 1695 70. And a price can overcome 1695 70. The next price target for gold would be 1742 90. If you look at silver out here, the case of silver on a weekly basis, it's waiting for a bullish reversal candle to confirm its roadsman to indicator bottom. On the daily timeframe out here, what do we have for it? We don't have much, but Wednesday could have been the C point of an A to B equal seed at the upside. Now we can make that determination until price deals with the $20 level. And that was the high from September the 12th. If price able to take that out, then regardless of whether I have a bottoming pattern or not, doesn't matter. That would then be telling us that silver would want to make a run for the 2102 area. So that's the bigger picture for both gold and silver. Still no request in just yet. Let's go look at the short-term timeframe chart here for a Goldilocks. So let's put that up on our screen here. This will take just a moment to populate. This way we can dive down and see what's going on on the intraday charts. See if there's any kind of tell anything that we can buy to you. To assist you with your trading day. So now that we've got the intraday charts here that are trying to populate, we'll start with the first chart that populates that makes sense to Stevie. So come on, finish out here, guys. Sorry for the length of time that's taking for these charts here to, in fact, populate. So let's start with a 10 minute chart. See what we know about it or where price might be headed to. So on a 10 minute basis, you've got a Roseman Dominicator top. That confirmed at 410 this morning. It formed a TD9 count pattern that lasted for about 40, 50 minutes out there. Then it got negated, price pulled all the way back until it made wave number seven. So we talked about a wave number seven bar. That's letter G, a very small portion of the Chapman wave. But something to certainly pay attention to out there. One of our dinners, two of our dinners, is Sarah Toga Bob, John Z and the Tiger's Den. Both are really Sarah Toga Bob, I think that identified it. John was able to take it to fruition. And so wave number seven, that was confirmed at 830 this morning. So this is now suggesting, this is a 10 minute chart for Goldilocks. That what price should do, because we're trading by the top of it's profile. This would be bar number three above that. What gold should do is go target 1680, 90. Now that's where the sellers are. Don't know what gold will do as it hits that level. If price closes above that on a 10 minute basis, well then that suggests that we head back to its recent highs and head higher. On a 15 minute timeframe, I don't have a pattern per se out here for us to focus in on. So we'll just simply pass on that. Nor do I add the 30 minute timeframe, the 60 minute timeframe, no topping pattern there specifically. We do on the 120 minute. So if we're looking for downside action, assume that the lows of the morning get taken out for Goldilocks out here. Then the two hour chart shows us a teeny nine count top, that formed at four o'clock this morning. It was, that's when it was confirmed. And right now what price is doing, there is a new profile. It's kind of hard to see. So let me give those numbers to you. The bottom is at 1669. The top is at 1682.90. The center is at 1675.20. We're trading above its green Ossetian change line. That Ossetian change line right now is 1674 even. So even though we've got a topping signal here, this key level of support, Ossetian change line is holding right now. Now this bar here completes at 10 o'clock. It's only 848 in the morning. But this would suggest that price can hold that green Ossetian change line and run that at 1682. And if price can overtake that, you can see you've got resistance here, 1682.30, 1685.60. So it's really going to be 1685.60. That is the nut that Goldilocks on an intraday basis needs to close above to suggest that it wants to rally further. But you've got the nice teeny nine count roadmap indicator bottom. You do have what could be a A to B equal CD pattern to the upside on the 120 minute chart. So that pattern gives us the following price projection. I'm just drawing in the A to B or moving that over to the C point out here. And that would give us a price projection in the 1698 area. Now notice that the retracement here, much less than a 0.618 retracement. So I would say if this teeny nine count pattern fails, this is a teeny nine count top fails, you've got the A to B equal CD that odds favor this will do more than a one to one. But remember, you've got those resistance zones. Sellers camped out at 1682.30, 1685.60. That is where the buyers need to overtake those sellers. That's coming from the 120 minute timeframe chart. We take a look at any other signals out here. The 240's got a roadsman to indicator. Bottom signal as does the 300. Neither of these have topping patterns. Each of these are suggesting higher price. But first things first, the 10 minutes gotta do its deal and its deal would be a close above 1680.90 out there. So that's what's going on when we take a look at the Goldie locks out here. I believe there was a question inside the Tigris Den. It was SR, this is from Mike. Mike says, SR, can you took the UCO and UNG oil natural gas? Absolutely, so let's go ahead and let's take a look at natural gas first. NG, November contract. So let's go ahead and get, oops, let's get that up on our screen here. Let's actually type in the correct date. This will take just a moment. So you want me to look at it, but anything specifically that you yourself, Mike, are looking at that you're trying to get confirmed or otherwise. In the meantime, what I will do is just share with you when we get back from this break here, oh, and to close out the show, I suppose, what natural gas and lights we crew are showing to UNI.

Folks, it's 8.54 in the morning out here. Equity futures are slightly mixed. Dow and Nasdaq are basically flat S&Ps up a couple as is the E-mini Russell. Gold futures up five bucks, silver's up 18 cents. Well, look at the natural gas right now. That's straight enough, two pennies at 6.84. What we can see here, Mike, is that right now, if you take a look at the intraday charts, 10-minute chart, price is testing a key level of support, 6.85. Don't know if this will hold or not. If price does not hold this up, and you can see it's got 6.85 on the 10-minute, 6.84 on the 30-minute chart. If those levels fail, then what it would be signaling to you and I is that price may be pulling back to the breakout level on the 60-minute time frame, $6.61. So you're looking for a place to enter. The reason why he's looking for a place to enter to the long side is because you've got a nice TD-9 count bottom that formed out here. Just a couple of days ago, that was confirmed yesterday, price with insight, it's daily profile. And it says as long as price stays above 672, that looking to the long side would make sense. Now, what we don't know is if price will be able to take out its red oscillator and change line currently in the 726 level. So you've got a bunch of intraday bottoming signals out here, but right now you've got short-term support that's being tested. That's at about the 684-ish level. So that's the area to be watching and watch the 10-minute chart out here for further signals. As we go take a look at Lightspeed Crude, we'll get back to those charts here. I don't have the intraday, but some intraday, the shortest time period I've got right now is the 30-minute. But we take a look at the daily time frame. Lightspeed Crude has a TD-9 count bottom. The price right now is above its oscillator and change line. We take a look at profiles out here. The bottom is at $81.47. We're trading below the bottom of the current profile for Lightspeed Crude. So that is old support that may in fact be resistance. It was resistance yesterday. It was resistance this morning out there and only a close above that. Well, really what you need to get is a close above $82.51, the center of its bullish structure daily profile to then suggest that Lightspeed Crude wants to trade higher. Now the trade higher out here would be $88.70. $86.68 to $88.70 would be your upside price target. On a 30-minute base out here, as I expand out the chart, we're just looking to see if there's any kind of a bottoming signal out here. And the answer is there is not. So the charts actually look a little bit better with regard to natural gas, Mike, than they do for Lightspeed Crude. Folks, stay tuned. You've got great programming all day long. Be safe out there and have a fantastic weekend. I look forward to seeing you on Baghdiftson Monday. You have a fantastic Friday. Take care, folks. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to...


In this section, I will explain the concept of portfolio optimization. So, whenever a portfolio is developed, the basic idea behind that is to provide the maximum level of expected return at a certain risk tolerance level. So, investors define that we have to take a very high risk or a low risk. On that level, the maximum level of risk that they want to take, on that, what could be the best possible combination of various types of assets, which will give them maximum expected return. We call that particular concept as portfolio optimization. So, in this particular process, there are two steps involved. The first one is that the first portfolio, the professional asset managers, they firstly go for different combinations of the risky assets. They account for which types of risky assets we can combine. And secondly, they combine these risky assets with risk-less assets. So, firstly, they decide the combination of risky assets and then they add risk-less to develop a portfolio. So, a portfolio is composed of both types of assets, both the risky assets as well as the risk-less assets. And then together, they go for combining in different ways the different assets which they have decided to take with the financial assets to develop a portfolio. Then they decide the proportion or weight of the portfolio. If you have 100 rupees to invest, then you are going to invest 30 rupees in risky assets, 70 rupees in risk-less assets, what could be the combination. So, the weights are decided according to the level of risk tolerance of the investor. So, if there is a single risky asset portfolio, then it is not necessary that there is only one risky asset, then several risky assets are added to develop a risky asset portfolio. And then there are a number of things which we are going to discuss subsequently that are considered when we are basically we are trying to go for an optimal portfolio. So, we keep a lot of important things in mind. Risk-less asset is that asset or that security in which you are sure that we are going to get this rate of return in every condition. So, there is an example for that which is a priori bill which is issued by the state bank or by any central bank. On that, there is a perfect prediction that if you have invested in the 3 months priori bill, then suppose the rate that they have offered you is 6%, then you will be sure that after 3 months, on maturity, when we return this bill, then we are going to get 6% interest on this. So, there are such assets which have a predictable rate of return in which there is no doubt, there is no shortage, there is no chance of loss. Or in other words, we say that all those returns on any assets which have no risk involved or we say that the risk that you have, we call it zero. So, we call such assets as risk-less assets where for which the predictable rate is perfectly known and you know that this is not going to change and the element of risk is equal to zero, the probability of risk is zero, so that type of asset is known as risk-less asset. When the specific investors are not identified, there could be a number of different types of risk-less assets which are developed or accounted for in the portfolio generally. And we have to take into account the trading horizon. We discussed the trading horizon earlier, that is the smallest time period in which you have to retain the decision and after so many years, you will reconsider your decision that particular time period in which you have to retain the decision that is known as the trading horizon. So, we have already discussed it. So, when we are going to generally develop the portfolios, we look at the various risk-less assets and we combine them with the risky assets. So, for example, suppose I am going to tell you about the trading horizon of risk-less asset that suppose we assume that a Pakistani rupee if you decide that this is our unit of account on which we will invest and the trading horizon you have kept is for one day. I have to invest and the next day I have to return it. So, your risk-less rate of this example will be the interest rate which is going to be mature on the next day. We will say that our trading horizon was one day and our unit of account is basically the currency in which you are going to do your business. It can be dollar, it can be yen, it can be park rupee, it can be pound sterling. So, that is the unit of account. So, when we account for risk-less asset then we have to decide the unit of account and we have to decide the trading horizon and we have to decide the unit of account because obviously trading horizon is another important dimension because as we all know that the currency value is above the time. So, this trading horizon also matters a lot and you have to deal with the currency what is the unit of account that also plays an important role.


in this question we have been asked to solve the given quadratic equation by factorization method so another one of such type where the coefficients are non-numerals okay so hence what is the methodology we have to use factorization techniques using algebraic identities or otherwise to split the middle term so if you see here this equation is of the form of ax square plus bx plus c equals 0 where you know this is c this entire term within brackets is c minus 9a plus b is b and a is 9 so hence our a c is a times c is 9 into 2a square plus 5ab plus 2b square now you have to split the b term this b term such that b is equal to b1 plus b2 such that b1b2 must be equal to ac correct that means I have to first factorize ac so let's first factorize ac so if you see ac what is a times c so it is 9 into twice a square plus 5ab plus twice b square this itself will require a splitting the middle term to factorize and we have learned that already so how what should we do so it is nothing but 9 2a square and this 5ab can be written as 4ab plus a b plus 2b square the remaining 2b square why did I do that because if you see 4 plus 1 is 5 certainly and 4 into 1 is 4 right so this 2 and 2 multiplied together was giving you 4 so hence I split the middle term into 4 and 1 so that the product of these two is the product of these two correct and the sum 4ab plus a b is 5ab correct so hence this will become 9 into now take 2a common so if you take 2a common you'll get 2a plus 2b 2a sorry you will get a plus 2b you will get a plus 2b and then here if you take a common again you'll get a plus sorry here sorry here you'll take b common b common so if you take b common you will get a plus 2b again correct so hence factorization will be 9 times 2a plus b times a plus 2b these are the factors okay now if you see if you if you if you see what can what can we said about the middle term now so these are the factors these are the factors and if you yes so what you can what you can do is let us say we have 9a plus b there as the b right so basically this particular thing can be broken down as 3 times 2a plus b and this can be broke and the other term is 3 times a plus 2b is it if you take these two as factors together let us say two one factor is this whole another factor is this whole so let us say we can we are I'm saying I can treat it as b1 and b2 now let's check what is b1 plus b2 so we even plus b2 if you see it's nothing but 3 times 2a plus b plus 3 times a plus 2b which is nothing but 6a plus 3b plus 3a plus 6b which is nothing but 9a plus 9b which is nothing but 9a plus b so you see b1 plus b2 is nothing is giving out you sum them up you are getting b here so that's what we wanted so let's solve them so what will it be then it will be 9x square and I can write minus 9a plus 9b can be written as 3 times 2a plus bx minus 3 times a plus 2bx that's what is the middle term so basically I broke the middle term into two such that their product is 9 times 9 times the constant term which I'm going to write now so the constant term is this what is the constant term in 2a plus b times a plus 2b and this is equal to 0 now the entire equation has been has been you know reduced to this beautiful looking form right so again reemphasizing I split the middle term into two terms here and where did I get this idea from so basically I performed a times c and then factorize it and broke that factorization in such a way that the sum is the middle term that's what I did right so now you can take comments and the equation is solved so if you take common you'll get 3x common from both these first two factors and it will be x minus 2a plus b and and in the second the last two factors you can take you can take sorry there will be three here yeah three here left oh I'm sorry no not three here three will be here 3x minus something right 3x minus 2a plus b and now if you take what will be common here it will see a plus 2b is common a plus 2b is common and you will get what 3x minus minus 2a plus b again and this is equal to 0 so further factorization will lead to 3x minus 2a plus b multiplied by 3x minus a plus 2b and this is equal to 0 so again equating each of the factor to 0 this will be 0 and this will be 0 while linear factors must be equal to 0 for the product to be 0 so hence you will get 3x minus 2a plus b equals 0 or 3x minus a plus 2b is equal to 0 okay so hence from here you'll get x is equal to 2a plus b or x is equal to a plus sorry this will be 2a plus b by 3 and here a plus 2b upon 3 these are the two solution to this question dear friends so learning is even if the coefficients are non-numeral you can perform the splitting the middle term methodology use that methodology and split the middle term factorize a and c so that you know you get two terms whose sum is b and that's what we performed here and eventually got the solution


Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to demonstrate you how you can read ASCII value from user and you can print its corresponding character. Before starting, you can note my information. You can follow or subscribe my YouTube channel through this link that is youtube.com. You can download my Android app that is Tech MS which is available on Google Play.  For that purpose, I am including a header file stdio.h then main function. Inside main I am declaring a integer variable that is n then inside printf or messes enter ASCII value. This message will be displayed on console. Then user will be entering an ASCII value. So to receive that ASCII value, I have implemented this scanf. Now the ASCII value is available inside n variable. To print its corresponding or equivalent character, I am implementing printf. So it will display character is n to print corresponding character. I have used this %c format specifier. So you can see integer variable n is displayed with the help of this %c. So whenever you want to display a character with respect to an ASCII value, you can use %c format specifier. So this integer value will be converted into corresponding character. Then return 0. Now I am executing this code. You can see it is asking for an ASCII value. I am entering 65. 65 is the ASCII value of capital A. So I am pressing enter key. You can see the corresponding character is capital A. So friends, with the help of this simple demonstration, I hope you have understood how you can find out a character for a particular ASCII value that is entered by the user. If you want to watch more programming related videos, you can follow my YouTube channel through this link that is youtube.com. Thank you for watching this video.


Like I was so back when I was younger, I used to rap without the beat, so I just used to have a tablet full of number raps, you know what I'm saying? How old were you at the time? You know, that probably uh, 17, 16, 17, 18, it was like, cause I just had got out of high school once we had, once we had got there and we got together. Yeah we on boss talk one on one. Hold your tongue man, like I know when I talked to Mr. Pookie say you had came with that song. He was doing that for Chief, you know, he was going running, cause Chief had his own thing. Oh then he always did. Yeah, he had his own thing. Yeah, he always had. Stumped down. I just peeped his hustle, peeped his thing, like we doing this deal, you want to work with him like that, let's do a song together, you know what I'm saying? And that's how that happened. He brought, he let me hear that beat for anybody. Chief in anybody. And I said, I heard Chief, I heard him on it, I heard him on it. You knew it. I told him, I said I heard him on it, he said yeah, I said yeah, I heard him on it bro. And he said, we writing Lucha out, so we used to just go over his crib, you know, get the beats, go over his crib and check it out. So we all get together, go over there and I'm playing the beat, we listening to it. And Chief was like, I got something, I think I got something too, y'all check this out. He already had it. This is one of his songs already. Nigga man. Nigga too. How was that Chief man? That Chief was young man. Same Chief. Young Chief. That was that, was that his first body of work or he already had works? Yeah, I already had stuff. Like this song, the song, like has them, it was already his song. Like, how did you, being so, so young, how did you end up even doing that? You already was making a lot of music. Yeah, it was just one of the ones that was in the notebook. Like, I was so back when I was younger, I used to rap without the beat. So, I just used to have a tablet full of number rap, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. You know, that probably 17, 16, 17, 18. It was like one, because I just had got out of high school once we had, once we had got there and we got together. Who was that dude? They always just talk about the one that was over A? Kevin A. Kevin A. Yeah, Kevin A. So, so basically did you like, you knew him or? No, see I was rapping with Pimpster. Okay. And Pimpster had a homeboy named Seedaw. Okay. If anybody knows Seedaw, then they know who Seedaw is. Yeah, Seedaw was rapping too. So, but he knew I was with Pimpster.  So, he told Kevin A. Hey man, Pimpster got a young nigga over there that'll go right with these boys and wooty wooty, just gave him my spiel.  And that's how we met. I met really through Seedaw. Okay. Seedaw introduced me and Kevin A. I was, I mean, because you said, hold your tongue, because I might say something I might not, I may say something you might not like. Like, how did you come up with it? Just, how did you come up with those? Man, I was young. Just, just got, I don't, I don't think, I think I seen a script. I don't know.  Just, you know, just writing, man. Yeah. Right. I want to be like bone. That was the bone there was cuz I was saying, hold your tongue. Yeah, that was the bone there. So, I was trying to move murder, move murder. You trying to get that over? Yeah, that was that thuggest, rugged ball every time. So, she, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was just something that just came up out of that.


Okay, so add that to your game. Let's keep going for it talking a long time, but I'll give you guys this free video Sit through it. Take this advice apply it to your life 7 Performances speak the loudest.  How do you do in practice? it doesn't matter if you're the coach's son or if you if you're I don't know if you're jealous of other players because they Get all the playing time it doesn't matter if you step on the field and you don't make a difference You don't stand out. You don't perform Then none of the other stuff matters. This is the time to show up and play and There's a couple of things that we can do to make this better But if you want respect you want praise if you want to go to the next level Nobody cares how much work you put in on your own nobody cares how much practice how much sacrifice you made if you don't show up on game day That's all that matters. You got to play well on game day. Okay, so Stop blaming other people stop blaming the coach stop blaming the teammate stop blaming the referee Stop blaming your environment if you won't play well on game day. What was number two? It's all on you And this is the time to show it so I'm just gonna kind of jump around these notes because I want to say right now like if you can perform well in training So first of all if you're not playing well in games, you need to put in more work on your own Okay, but if you're playing well, or if you're not playing well in training like team practices You need to put in more work on your own but if you always play well in team practices and for some reason you're crumbling in the games you need to Understand where it is. It's right here. It's in your head because Guess what your feet are still the same your technical ability is still the same as it is in training Your fitness levels are still the same your technical awareness is still the same The only thing that's different is now you're in a game and now you're thinking differently in your head in the practice You're not thinking you're present. You're in the moment. You're just training. You're just working hard. You're having fun Now we get in the game and these thoughts start creeping your head. What if this happens? What if I screw up? What if I miss the chance? Oh, I'm kind of nervous. What if I'm not as good as these guys? What if we lose? What if everyone watch it? It's in the fans and they laugh at me Okay, you're not focused on the game. You have the ability to play well The only thing different is the way that you're thinking. So what do you have to do? You have to control your thoughts. Your mind is your greatest asset It doesn't matter how good your feet are because you can't put it together right here when it matters most Okay, so I'm telling you if you know that you're good enough to play with these guys in practice Then you can do the same thing in a game The only thing different is your thoughts so you need to control your thoughts You talk yourself forward in this situation if I have a bad touch give me the ball again I'm gonna do a better one this time. I'm gonna focus more. What can I do? How can I correct this? Give me the ball again? Give me the ball again if I keep screwing up Give me the ball again You have to be brave enough to make mistakes and to keep playing even when you're playing poorly So just keep that in mind if you can play well in training you can play well in games The only thing different is the way that you're thinking believe in yourself Don't blame anyone but yourself if you're not playing well in games It's not your teammates fault for not passing you the ball. You need to make better runs You need to work hard defensively to win the ball back. You need to have better off the ball movement You need to find a way to get yourself in the game You need to lift your teammates up rather than them bringing you down if the coach isn't giving you playing time Why okay?   I have to do something about it Take a responsibility keep the responsibility Then you keep the power the power to improve the power to grow the power to change Like I said training training is about developing your technique your technical skill your physical. It's about learning positions Matches are about mentality matches is about putting everything you know, you can do together on the field Okay, so training is about developing all those things matches is about applying and that's all in the mind matches are about the mind There's no substitute for match experience So one of the best things you can do to get better at playing games play more games and a lot of you out there I get these messages all the time.  Oh, I'm not actually in a team right now Like dude, you're 18 years old. You don't play organized football and you say you want to be a pro It's not happening. You need more match experience. You got to be playing matches every single week for me and Because it's like COVID right now. There's restrictions, but Last year I was playing on three teams. I'm 30. I'm almost 33. I was playing three teams I was playing five matches a week You're playing one match a month. You're playing one match a week. It's not enough. Yeah, I got to train I was still training daily as well training by myself. I had a couple team practices here and there But we're playing matches getting real experience. Okay putting yourself in real situations talking yourself through real struggle That's when you get better. So I need you to find a way to get more match experience Whether that's playing drop-in going on Facebook groups or finding local drop-ins joining multiple teams.  That's where you can get more experience more Growth play as much as you can and I'll just give you a story about my buddy I'll name him because it's a good story. He's a good guy. He'll appreciate it. My friend Amar is Guy that plays on my team But a guy I've worked a lot with over the years as far as his mentality is getting stronger stronger but this season we had a new coach come in and I was doing mainly the training for this team and this guy came in just to do the coaching because they didn't want me to Be a player coach So I'm playing on that first team and this new coach came in to coach the first team But my one he's my friend but also my teammate he had a really good season last year But the new coach came in didn't know who he was maybe he had his own opinions he already had his own team selected in his head and He didn't give this guy the opportunity. So what happened is Amar went back to his old his old mentality. Sorry. Oh poor me This guy doesn't respect me.  I'm gonna quit and Just talking to him.  He's made his own decisions Maybe they're the wrong decisions, but you can't control his decisions You can only prove yourself with your performances. So got him into a game. He played about 30 minutes But he tore it up. He scored a goal I mean assist was all over the pitch and Changed the coach's mind, but he only did that with his performance The coach didn't care that he was training by himself seven days a week The coach didn't care that he scored 20 goals last season the coach didn't know him The coach has own perceptions the coach didn't know What the situation was and it wasn't his fault.  So if you've ever been in a situation like that, stop blaming other people take your own responsibility Prove yourself with your performances Okay, we cruising I Know it's a lot of talking guys, but if you're with me, it's gonna be valuable


I'm Dina Belenok, I'm a social entrepreneur and a photographer and I'm looking to change perceptions towards disability by focusing in the ability and we use photography as a way to start a dialogue and I take photography to the blind. It gets an opportunity for you just to be yourself and not to try to pretend, oh well I have to do this, I have to be strong and I think we all need that and that's been a great experience so far, everyone is very passionate to what they do and they're willing to listen and to help and I think that's a way forward. Definitely passion is something that I've seen constantly in leadership but for me humbleness, I think for me when I found a leader that it's humble, that's the trigger, that's where I'm like wow it's amazing someone that is doing all these things, that achieves all those matters or whatever they're doing that they're still humble enough to sit down and listen to people or to just be vulnerable and allow themselves to share their ups and downs and also I think the willingness that comes along with humbleness of working together and working as a team.

From Seattle, Washington, it's theCUBE, covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon North America 2018. Brought to you by Red Hat, the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Hey, welcome back everyone, live here in Seattle for KubeCon, CloudNativeCon 2018. It's theCUBE's coverage. I'm John Furrier, Stu Miniman. We've been there from the beginning, watching this community grow into a powerhouse, almost a Moore's Law-like growth, doubling every, actually six months. Good, think about it. Chris Anasig, CTO and CO of the CNCF, the CloudNative Computing Foundation. Great to see you again. Thanks for coming on. Super stoked to be here. Thank you for being with us since the beginning. So it's been fun to watch you guys. CNCF has done an exceptional job. I thought a fabulous job of how you guys have built out a great community, open source community as the main persona target, but brought in the vendors on terms that really worked for open source, Linux Foundation, great shepherding this thing through. Now you have basically, it looks like a conference. End user conference, vendors are here, still open source is pure. The growth has been phenomenal. Just take a minute to give us the update on just some of the stats.  What's actually crazy is when we planned this event, it was about two years ago when we had to start booking a venue, figure out how many people may be here. And two years ago, we thought 5,000 would have been a fantastic number. Well, we got to 8,000, we have about 1,500 to 2,000 people on the wait list that could not get in. So obviously we did not plan properly, but sometimes it's hard to predict kind of the uptake of technology these days. Things just move quickly. I think we've kind of benefited from the turnaround that's happening in history right now where companies are finally looking to modernize their infrastructure, whether it's like moving the cloud or just like modernizing things. And that's happening everywhere from like traditional enterprises, you know, to internet-scale companies. Everyone's kind of looking to modernize things and we're kind of at the forefront of that. I mean, the challenge of events is it's almost provisioning over provision.  I want a cloud-native event. Programmable space that can just go, you know, auto-scale when you need it. Exactly. And all kidding aside, congratulations on the success. But one thing we've been covering on SiliconANGLE and theCUBE and you guys have been actually executing on is the growth in China and open source. It's around for a while, but just the scale, just pure numbers. Talk about the success in China and the impact to the open source community and business. Yeah, Sue, we put on our first event in Shanghai. KubeCon, China, it was fantastic. We sold out at 2,500 people. Always a little bit difficult to do your first event in China. I have many stories to share on that one, but the amount of scale in terms of software deployment there is just fascinating. You kind of have these companies like OFO is like a bike sharing system, right? You know, in China, they have hundreds of millions of these bicycles that they have to kind of manage, you know, in an infrastructure way and the software that you use to actually do that has to be built very well. And so the trend that we're actually seeing in CNCF now is about 10%. We have three projects that were born in China, dealing with China scale problems. So one of those projects is TIKV, which is kind of just a very well fine-tuned built distributed key value store that is used by a lot of the Chinese cloud providers and folks like OFO and LME out there that are just like dealing with hundreds of millions of users, you know, it's fascinating. I think the trend you're going to see in the future is there's going to be more technology that is kind of born dealing with China scale issues and having those lessons kind of, you know, being shared with kind of the rest of the world and collaborate. One of the goals in CNCF for us is to help bridge these communities. In China, about 25% of our attendance was international, which was higher than we expected, but we had like dual like live site simultaneous translation for everyone to kind of try to bridge these. It's a big story. The consumption and the contribution side is just phenomenal. China is our number two contributor to all CNCF projects. It's very impressive in my opinion. Chris, there was a lot in the keynote, you know. So I want to give us a little insight. It's different for a foundation and open source communities than it is for a company when you talk about, you know, the core product being Kubernetes and then all these other projects you've got the incubating projects, the ones that have been elevated. New at CD comes into it. How do you do the juggling act? Yeah, you know, I mean, honestly, like the whole goal of the foundation is basically to cultivate and sustain and kind of grow projects that come in. Some are going to work and be very successful. Some may never leave, you know, the sandbox, which is our kind of early stage. And so today, you know, I was very excited to finally have an SED come as an official incubating project. This is our 31st project, which is a little bit wild since we started. It was just Kubernetes. We had other projects that moved from, say, sandbox incubating. So in China, one of our big announcement was Harbor, which is a container registry, or actually technically we call it a cloud native registry because it does support things like Helm charts. It doesn't only host container-based artifacts, it moved up to the incubating level.  It's in all of cloud foundries and Pivotal's products. It's used by some cloud providers in China as their kind of registry as a service. Like they're equivalent to like ECR or, you know, GCR, essentially, and, you know, we've just seen incredible growth across all of our projects. I mean, we have three graduated projects. Envoy recently, which you saw Matt Constance and Jose on stage a little bit talk about, which to me, you know, what I really like about Envoy and Prometheus, these were two projects that were not born from a vendor. You know, Envoy came from Lyft because they were just like, you know what, we're not happy with our current kind of reverse proxy, service proxy situation. Let's build our own open source and kind of share our lessons. Prometheus, born from SoundCloud. So like, I think CNCF has a good mix of, you know, hey, we have some initial vendor-driven projects. You know, like Kubernetes came from Google, but now it's used by a ton of people, but then you have other projects that were born from the end user community. I think having that healthy mix is good for everyone. I think the DNA of that early on in the culture has been a success for a few guys. Not being vendor-led, being end user-led, but vendors can come in and participate. Absolutely. So talk about the end user perspective because we're very interested, a lot of people are interested in end user, what are they doing with it?  What are people using Kubernetes for? You got Apple, Uber, Capital One, Comcast, GoDaddy, Airbnb. They're all investing in Kubernetes as their main stack. And CNCF projects, not only Kubernetes. But what does that mean when they say Kubernetes as a stack? It's kind of been encapsulated to include other things. People are looking at this as a real alternative. Can you explain what that is about? So I will, so I think people have to realize that CNCF is necessarily more than just Kubernetes. CloudNative is more than just Kubernetes. So what we'll see is, take a company like Lyft. Lyft did not start using Kubernetes. They're kind of on that migration path now, but Lyft started to use Envoy, Prometheus, JRPC, other technologies that kind of lead them to that CloudNative journey that eventually like, you know what, maybe we don't need our homegrown orchestrator, we'll go use, you know, use that. And use like, you know, everyone kind of has a, everyone falls in differently in kind of a community. Some people start with Kubernetes and eventually, you know, they subsume the other kinds of projects. This is what the cloud's about. Let me rephrase the question. So when people say, because this is real trend, we've been reporting on this, the CNCF stack, people have language semantics on how that's cloud, but on the Kubernetes stack. I don't like stack because it means like there's one prescribed solution where I think it's more like an all a cart. Yeah, so talk about, well, if I quote, end quote, the CNCF stack, if there was like a word for it, as an alternative to, as a solution base with Kubernetes at the core of it, right? Okay, cool. What is that usage being looked like? How is that developing? How are end users looking at the CNCF holistically with Kubernetes at the core? So, I mean, we have, we have one of the largest end user communities out there and, you know, of any open source foundation, we have about 80 members.  Most of the time is they want to deploy software faster, right? They want to use modern CI CD tools and just development patterns. And so it's all about just like faster time to market and making the developers' lives easier. So they're actually able to deliver business, customer value. And that's it, yeah, it's basically similar to the whole DevOps mantra, right? If I could ship software faster and it's easier for my developers to get stuff done, I'm delivering value to whatever the end, you know, my end user customer is at the end of day. And like, we have, if you go to the CNCF end user website, we have case studies from like Nordstrom, Capital One, I think Lyft is there. It's just a bunch of people that just, you know, we move to these technologies because it improved the way we could monitor software, how fast we could ship. It's all about like faster time to market and modernizing infrastructure. Yeah, Chris, give us a little bit of you coming, looking forward, Ron, 1.13 for Kubernetes. If I read it right, you know, the contribution slowed down a little bit because we're actually reaching a level of maturity. So, you know. Kubernetes is boring and mature. What do you see as we come other than continued growth? So, I think the wider ecosystem is going to like continue to grow. So if you actually look at Kubernetes directly, it has been very focused on moving things out of the core as much as possible and trying to force people to extend things. So I don't know if you saw Tim Hawkin had this great talk in terms of how all the Kubernetes components are either being ripped out or turned into custom resource deficient or CODs, basically trying to make Kubernetes as extensible as possible. Instead of trying to ram things into Kubernetes, hey, use the built-in extensibility layer. So the analogy here would be like kernel space versus user space if you're going to Linux. All the exciting things tend to happen in user space these days, but yeah, the kernel is still important. It's actively contributed to buy a ton of people, very critical of everything, but a lot of the action happens in user space. And I think you'll see the same thing with Kubernetes where it'll kind of become like Linux where the kernel of Kubernetes, very stable, mature, focus on basically not breaking and trying to keep it as simple as possible and build good extensibility mechanisms so folks could plug in whatever their systems. Like we've saw this with storage in Kubernetes. A lot of the initial storage drivers, flex volume stuff was baked into the Kubernetes with a new effort called the container storage interface. They all pulled that out and basically built an extensibility mechanism. So any company or any project could bring in their storage solution. One of the key trends that we're seeing obviously in cloud is automation. You see serverless around the corner. You see all these things going on around. The cool things you guys are building. As automation continues to move down the track, where is that going to impact and create value for customer end users as they roll with the CNCF? So Kubernetes at some point could be, why even be managing clusters? Well, that should be automated at some point. I mean, hey, you could do it both ways. I mean, a lot of people love the managed service approach. If I could pay a large hyper scale cloud provider to manage everything, the more the merrier. Some want the freedom to roll their own. Some may want to pay a vendor. You know, I don't know, Red Hat OpenShift looks great. Let's pay them to help manage that. Or I just roll it on. And we've seen it all. It really depends on the organization. We've seen some very high-end banks or financial institutions that have very good technical chops. They're okay rolling on their own. Some may not be as interested in that and just pay a vendor to manage it. So for us, it's all goodness, whatever you prefer. I think longer term, we'll see more people just through the convenience of managed services go that route. But for CNCF, Kubernetes, there's multiple ways to do it.  You could go through vendor like Rancher or OpenShift. The cool thing about all these things is they all are conformant to the Kubernetes certified program. So it means, you know, there's no breakage or forking, everyone's compliant. All right, so for the people that are watching that, this couldn't make it here or on the waiting list or doing lobby con. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the waiting list. There are those, well, it's actually good then you need to do lobby con. There's places to meet here. So I know a lot of people actually are in town kind of lobby conning it. But for the people that aren't here, what's the most important story that's being told? I know we're not being talked about. What is happening here? What should people know about this year? What is, in your mind's eye and in your understanding of the program and how it's developing early on, what's the most important thing? I think in general, like, you know, CNCF, cloud native, Kubernetes all have matured a lot in like last three years, especially last, I think 12 to 18 months where we've seen kind of the, you know, earlier it was all about kind of technical savvy folks scratching their itch.  Like, what does Maersk do? Like they ship, they actually ship containers, right? But now they're using, you know, Kubernetes to manage containers. They're in the container business. Exactly. They're in the container business. So, you know, I'm seeing traditional insurance companies. Like, so I think what we're doing is we're basically hitting, we're kind of past that threshold of like early adopters and tinkers. And now we're moving to like full blown mainstream adoption. And part of that is the cloud providers are all offering managed Kubernetes. So it's convenient for companies that are moving to cloud. And then on the distro front, you know, OpenShift, PKS, Rancher, they're all mature products. So there's just a lot of stability, maturity in the ecosystem. Stu and I were talking. Just wanting to talk about the mature stuff. Give us your take on Knative. What should people be looking at that? How does serverless fit into all of this? So serverless, you know, we love serverless and CNCF. I just viewed as another kind of programming model that eventually runs on some type of containerized stack, right? So for us in CNCF, we have a serverless working group that's been putting out like white papers. We have a spec around cloud events standardized that I think Knative is a fantastic approach of how to basically build a kind of like CNCF where it's like a set of components that you can use to build your own kind of serverless framework. And I think the adoption has been great. We've actually been talking to them about potentially bringing in some components of Knative into CNCF. I think it's, I think like, if you want to provide your own serverless offering, you're going to need the components in Knative to make that happen. And you know, I've seen like SAP's picked up on it, GitLab just announced a serverless offering based on Knative today. So I think it's a great technology. It's still very early days. I think, you know, serverless is great and will be continually used, but it's one option of many. Like we're going to have containers, we're going to have serverless, we're going to have mainframes. It's going to be a mix of everything.  Multi-cloud now is a subtext to here. I think that one of the big stories in addition to the maturity is that you started to see people have one choice. And hybrid cloud is the word today, but I think ultimately people view it as a multi-cloud environment of resource. So one interesting thing about KubeCon, I think one of our reasons that we've grown so much is, if you look at it, there's really no other event you could go to that is truly multi-cloud. You have all the hyperscale folks. You got your end users and vendors in one area, right? Versus, you know, you going to a vendor specific event. And so I think that's kind of been part of our, you know, benefit and then lock to kind of stumble on this where everyone is kind of in the same room.  Well, Chris, thanks for spending the time. I know you some are busy. CTO and COO of the CNCF really making things happen. This is a real important technology wave, the cloud computing and having the gun and choices and ecosystem around open source is making it happen. Congratulations to your success. We're going to continue coverage here. Day one of three days of Kube coverage. I'm John Furrier, Stu Miniman. Stay with us for more after this short break.


Good morning. I am Austin Weinstein. I am the student speaker first off I'd like to thank Chancellor Christ, President Napolitano and Provost Alva Satoes for essentially everything So I am Austin Weinstein and I study economic history and my thesis was on the Export-Import Bank of the United States and As a special treat for everyone tonight. I will not be talking about my thesis At Cal I spent far far too much of my time at the Daily Californian the student newspaper here and most of what I covered is actually these people and That organization I want to give them a shout out because they've given me more than I ever could have imagined and they helped a honestly aimless freshman find something that he cares about and Before I get into anything I want to add two disclaimers the first of which I am 21 and Most 21 year olds don't have wisdom and most people under 30 don't have wisdom. So keep that in mind The second is that I really don't deserve this Mean the people that I saw walking up the looks were more surprised And I get that I mean I'm like a lot of people I've had things I've done Well if that things I've done poorly But you know as a 21 year old whose most notable employment is as an actual little drummer boy at the local mall I'd like to talk a little bit about something. I have a modicum of experience that and that's being a student at UC Berkeley I remember Whenever I'd get that really fun question. How's Berkeley going? My answer would never so much be about The fact that the toilet in my dorm was in a different room than the sink in my dorm Although it was It was always about the people the students the faculty the researchers everyone you meet even if you're not so sure they actually go here Nowhere on earth has a town in a city just decided to eschew the norms of human behavior like Berkeley this school in this city indulge in honestly self-carecature of an outrageous level the first person to show me around this campus was an alumnus and He was wearing a tie-dye shirt cargo shorts Birkenstocks and he was writing his scooter to his job at a white shoe law firm That's kind of where I started and not much has changed When I first came to Cal like many of you I was very clueless. I still am clueless, but this is helpful for this little bit I enrolled in chemistry computer science and history and What really stuck with me as well as my first history class I walk into the classroom and the professor He's standing up Right in front of the podium. He had a really nice tailored suit on it was probably his first day of class suit He stands up. He has his hair slicked back puts his hand behind his back and without looking at slides or notes he gives an hour-and-a-half lecture on ancient Rome that floored me and honestly Something clicked when you see something like that it clicks and I knew I had to study history I bent and people like this professor You meet a dime a dozen here.  I'm sure everyone has a million of these stories I had a professor of Russian history Who taught the entire class in anecdotes and he was telling us I'm writing a book about an apartment complex It's over a thousand pages and we all looked at him like he was crazy Yet when their views came out it was called monumental epic and a Soviet war and peace And I remember another time I was interviewing a STEM professor for an article for the Daily Cow And I went up to his office is in Soda Hall I knock on the door and he cracks the door open and says wait outside I'll talk to you outside and right before he shuts the door I look inside and I see that even if he wanted to invite me inside his office is so Scattered with papers and books and documents. There was no room except for his chair people like him They make Berkeley worth it and I'm not even talking about the computer science students I was out to lunch with one the other day and who's complaining about you know the job offer he got and I said congratulations I'm getting a job offer. You know, what's the issue? He says well, he low-balled me and I asked if it's okay if I ask What's low ball and he says a hundred thousand dollars? So that's cool But for me and I know for a lot of you Berkey Berkeley occupies a really unique place in this world It's something that stuck with me It's a place that people expect the best of a person's capacity here when you're allowed to be excessively almost comically passionate And that's why this place is so essential and so important. I mean for God's sake plutonium was discovered here I mean we can't give up that up Because that's not to say there aren't problems because there are I mean your students here, you know Every day there's a new headline. That's a little more disheartening than the last headline And I know this because I've written a lot of those headlines I mean depending on whom you trust you see Berkeley is either the number one public school in the world or the number two UC camps in California state funding makes up 15% or less of the school's budget and the athletic department has more debt than Turkmenistan We faced with all the good that this place can and must do berkeley's at a crossroads and As the country hits 10 years of consecutive economic growth this campus is having a wide and big budget cut right now We're right across from one of the wealthiest cities in the country Yet students here live in bad housing for high prices and are submerged by a cost of living that makes it more expensive to go here than NYU And for God's sake We can raise 10 million dollars to build a video board yet At the same time we're cutting Berkeley connect and the history department's espresso machine But at the end of the day We've never done anything like this before We're 150 years in and the University of California is an experiment in a high level public education That's surpassed everything that could have been expected of it and more At almost 150 years you've got to expect there's gonna be kinks issues At a time when the very meaning of the word public is in crisis UC Berkeley is one of the most impactful examples Of what the word public can mean and what the word public can do All of you in front of me graduating today are part of that example part of a long legacy of exemplary people and exemplary students and so I kind of leave with a confidence Not just because this day is special and there's pomp and circumstance Because of that resiliency I mentioned It sticks with you and it makes people from Berkeley people want to cow unique It's why I don't think that despite the challenges Berkeley faces that's gonna change anytime soon. It's why Obstacles at UC Berkeley. They don't really feel like obstacles And it's why UC Berkeley continues to be a fantastic institution And so That's my piece. Good luck to Chancellor Christ. Good luck to everyone graduating today. Thank you and go Bears
