Here's a question for you. What is the best way to attract funding and expand your startup in Africa? Thank you, Preston, for that question. Well, there are various factors, besides just having a very good product or service, I think when you want funding, there has to be an issue of trust because you're in Africa, the investors are here in the United States or overseas. So basically, you need to practice ethical business practices. Also, you need to tell your story. You need to spread the reach on what you're doing, whether it's via video or pitching or write-up, you just need to get it out there so that people can see it. You can put it up on Kickstarter, you can find an angel investment online where you can actually put that up as well. Another thing is to put in the necessary systems, you need best practices, international standards, as long as you've got all of those things, systems, record keeping, you've got a track record. The last thing that I think people actually need, as much as we've got startups, we need to have a board of advisors. You might not be able to afford to pay like a board of directors, but just have a board of advisors, people you can look up to, people who are trustworthy, who can give you advice and give you that platform for you to do your business in a reputable way.


When ancient man looked to the heavens for guidance from the gods, he noticed star patterns and began to document their movement across the heavens. The ancients believed that the earth was flat, but around 350 BC, Aristotle proved that the earth was round. Later, about 150 AD, Ptolemy presented the geocentric theory, the belief that the earth is stationary at the center of the universe, to the sun, moon, stars and planets revolving around it in complex orbits. In the 1500s, Nicholas Copernicus of Poland presented the heliocentric theory, the belief that the earth revolves around the sun as it rotates on its axis. This aspect of astronomy evolved into an intricate study of planetary motion, known as orbital mechanics. Today, orbital mechanics is applied to space flight and satellites that orbit the earth or travel beyond our solar system. In the early 1600s, Johann Kepler, a German mathematician, using the data on planetary observations collected by the Danish scientist Tycho Brahe, developed three laws of planetary motion. Kepler's first law states, all planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus and the other focus empty. Applied to earth satellites, the center of the earth becomes one focus with the other focus empty. For circular orbits, the two foci coincide. Kepler's second law, the law of areas, states, the line joining the planet to the sun sweeps over equal areas in equal time intervals. When a satellite orbits, the line joining it to the earth sweeps over equal areas in equal periods of time. If areas 1, 2 and 3 are equal, times 1, 2 and 3 are also equal. Therefore, the speed of the satellite changes depending on its distance from the center of the earth. Speed is greatest at the point in the orbit closest to the earth, called perigee, and is slowest at the point farthest from the earth, called apogee. It is important to note that the orbit followed by a satellite is not dependent on its mass. A large, heavy satellite could be in the same orbit with a small, light one, each sweeping out equal areas in equal periods of time. Kepler's third law, the law of periods, relates the time required for a planet to make one complete trip around the sun to its mean distance from the sun. For any planet, the square of its period of revolution is directly proportional to the cube of its mean distance from the sun. Applied to earth satellites, Kepler's third law explains that the farther a satellite is from the earth, the longer it will take to complete an orbit, the greater the distance it will travel to complete an orbit, and the slower its average speed will be. Isaac Newton, the father of classical mechanics, laid the groundwork for orbital mechanics. He combined the work of Kepler and others to formulate the law of universal gravitation, and the three Newtonian laws of motion. While Kepler's laws provided a conceptual model of orbital motion, Newton's laws provided the foundation for the mathematical description of orbits. They explained why a satellite stays in orbit. Newton's law of universal gravitation. Any two objects in the universe, such as the earth and the moon, attract each other with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Stated more simply, the more massive the objects are, or the closer they are, the greater the gravitational pull between them. Newton's first law of motion. A body in motion will keep moving at the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an external force. A satellite moves in a curved path around the earth because the earth's gravitational pull acts as an external force on it. Newton's second law of motion. If the sum of the forces acting on an object is not zero, the object will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude and in the direction of the net force. Newton's second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. It is this mathematical equation and the equation for universal gravitation that forms the basis for calculating orbits. Newton's third law of motion explains how a satellite gets into orbit. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you blow up a balloon and let it go, the balloon is pushed forward by the action of the air rushing out of it. A rocket's exhaust gases are like the air rushing out of the balloon. The following illustrates how a satellite stays in orbit. If a man stands on a mountain and fires a projectile horizontally, gravity will cause the path of the projectile to curve downward and it will strike the earth. However, if the man fires the projectile fast enough at a specific speed, the curvature of its path due to gravity will match the curvature of the earth under it. The projectile will then fall around the earth becoming an earth-orbiting satellite. A projectile fired even faster will have a flight path away from the earth, but gravity will act to slow the projectile down, change its flight path, and pull it back toward earth. If the projectile's velocity increased enough, a velocity sufficient to escape the earth's gravitational pull will be reached. This velocity is known as the escape velocity. It is equal to about 7 miles per second at the earth's surface. The preceding description did not consider atmospheric drag and the earth's rotation, both of which will affect the trajectory of the projectile. It illustrated the principles governing a satellite's orbit. There are six numbers called the orbital elements which specify the size, shape, and orientation of an orbit in space, as well as the location of the spacecraft in the orbit. Based on an orbit which is an ellipse, the six orbital elements are length of the semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, great ascension of the ascending node, argument of perigee, time of perigee passage. The major axis of an elliptical orbit is the line joining the perigee and apogee. This line is also referred to as the line of absides. The first orbital element is the semi-major axis. It is simply one-half the major axis. Circular orbits have no apogee or perigee. Therefore, the semi-major axis is simply one-half the diameter of the orbit. The semi-major axis is used to define the size of the orbit. From this, the orbital period, or time that it takes for the satellite to complete one orbit, can be calculated. The shape of an orbit is defined by the second orbital element called eccentricity. For all ellipses, the value of eccentricity lies between zero and one. The larger the value, the more elliptical the orbit. A spacecraft in Earth orbit with an eccentricity equal to or greater than one will escape the Earth's gravitational field. When orienting an orbit in space, a three-dimensional coordinate system must be defined. The coordinate system commonly used is the geocentric equatorial coordinate system, which has its origin at the Earth's center. This coordinate system is a non-rotating reference system in which a satellite's orbital plane tends to remain fixed relative to the stars while the Earth turns beneath it. The xy plane is the Earth's equatorial plane. The positive x-axis points to the vernal equinox. This is the point where the sun appears to cross the Earth's equator on its way north on the first day of spring each year. The z-axis is along the Earth's spin axis toward the north pole. Nodes are points in a satellite's orbit which intersect the Earth's equatorial plane. The ascending node is the point at which the spacecraft crosses the equator going from south to north. The descending node is where the spacecraft crosses the equator going from north to south. The line joining the two nodes is called the line of nodes. The orientation of an orbit is determined by three orbital element angles. The right ascension of the ascending node is the angle between the x-axis and the ascending node. It is always measured eastward from the direction away from the vernal equinox in the Earth's equatorial plane. The argument of perigee is the angle between the ascending node and the point of perigee. It is measured in the orbital plane in the direction of spacecraft motion. Inclination is the angle between the equatorial plane and the orbital plane. A satellite which has an eastward velocity component at the ascending node has an orbital inclination lying between 0 and 90 degrees. Such an orbit is called a prograde orbit. A satellite which moves due north at the ascending node is in a polar orbit. Polar orbits have an orbital inclination of exactly 90 degrees. A satellite with a westward velocity component at the ascending node is in a retrograde orbit and has an orbital inclination between 90 and 180 degrees. The five orbital elements explained thus far describe the size, shape, and orientation of the orbit in space. The final element is a time value used to locate the satellite in its orbit. A satellite moves in a very predictable manner. It stays on schedule. Thus, if the time at which a satellite passes a particular point is known, the time when it will pass any other point can be determined. The particular point chosen is perigee and the time of perigee passage is the last of the six orbital elements. The six orbital elements depict a spacecraft's orbit in non-rotating coordinates. To visualize an orbit relative to the rotating Earth, a projection traces the spacecraft's position on the Earth's surface. The projected path is called the ground track. As a satellite orbits the Earth, the ground track shifts westward. There are two causes for this. First, the primary contributor is the Earth's rotation toward the east under the orbital plane. Second, because the Earth is not a uniform sphere and bulges at the equator, its gravity is greatest at the equator. This causes the orbital plane to rotate slowly around the Earth's polar axis in a motion called precession. Precession is toward the west for prograde orbits and toward the east for retrograde orbits. For low Earth orbits such as those of the space shuttle at 150 miles altitude, the westward shift of the ground track due to the Earth's rotation is about 22.5 degrees. While the shift due to precession is only about a half degree, the inclination of a satellite orbit determines the north and south latitude limits of its ground track. The minimum orbital inclination is equal to the latitude of the launch site and is achieved by launching due east. For example, if a satellite is launched due east out of the Kennedy Space Center, which is located at 28.5 degrees north latitude, its orbital inclination will be 28.5 degrees and the limits of its ground track will vary between 28.5 degrees north latitude and 28.5 degrees south latitude. If launch azimuth or direction of flight at launch measured eastward from due north is increased from due east, the orbital inclination angle increases as well as the maximum latitude of the north-south ground track. Therefore, the latitude limits of the ground track equal the new launch inclination. Similarly, if launch azimuth is decreased from due east, orbital inclination once again increases as well as the latitude limits of the ground track. The maximum practical inclination from a Kennedy Space Center launch is 57 degrees. This limit is imposed for safety considerations in order to keep the spacecraft and its booster system from flying over land masses during the ascent phase. To obtain an orbit with an inclination greater than 57 degrees, the spacecraft is launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Vandenberg offers the opportunity for southerly launches with orbit inclinations between approximately 70 degrees prograde through 138 degrees retrograde. A significant advantage of launching from Vandenberg is the capability to economically achieve polar orbits with ground tracks covering all latitudes from the north pole to the south pole. The earth is constantly turning and all points on its surface have an eastward velocity with the greatest velocity occurring at the equator. The farther the launch site is from the equator or as launch azimuth is increased or decreased from due east, less of the earth's rotational velocity will be imparted to the launch vehicle. This requires more fuel to get into orbit or payload weight will have to be decreased. Launches due east from a position on or near the equator such as the Kuru launch site in French Guyana used by the European Space Agency acquire the advantage of a free velocity gain of about 1,500 feet per second. This compares to the approximate 1,300 feet per second gain available at the further north latitude of the Kennedy Space Center. Launching from an equatorial site offers a significant advantage in payload weight capability and minimizes the amount of fuel needed to achieve an equatorial orbit. Since many satellites operate in equatorial orbits these are important considerations. Spacecraft are launched within a specified time interval called the launch window. Some of the factors affecting the launch window are launch and orbit lighting conditions, sun angles, payload orbit requirements, rendezvous phasing if a rendezvous is planned, tracking and communication requirements, and collision avoidance with other orbiting objects to name a few. One of the factors defining the launch window for the Space Shuttle is launch lighting conditions which can be illustrated by plotting time versus day of year. On this plot we see daylight and darkness at the launch site. The longer daylight hours occur in the middle of the year, summertime. If daylight conditions are required for a convenient emergency landing site for the Space Shuttle, the launch window would now look like this. During the winter months, the available launch window for lighting conditions alone can be as little as three hours per day. When combined with the many other launch factors, the launch window becomes even more constrained. The choice of a particular launch vehicle for a mission depends upon the weight and size of the payload and the desired orbit. Expendable rockets used to place spacecraft in orbit usually consist of several stages that may incorporate both solid and liquid propellants for propulsion. When the fuel in each stage is depleted, the spent stage is jettisoned. Staging offers the advantage of discarding weight when it is no longer needed. The Space Shuttle is a two-stage system. At liftoff, the two solid rocket boosters and three Space Shuttle main engines are all producing thrust. After approximately two minutes of flight, at an altitude of 25 miles, the fuel in the solid rocket boosters is depleted and they are jettisoned. The three main engines, fueled by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, carried in the external tank, continue to burn for several minutes until the shuttle reaches its cutoff velocity. At this time, the main engines are shut down and the external tank is jettisoned. Two additional burns, using the orbiter's maneuvering system referred to as ohms, are required to place the orbiter in its final orbit. The ohms one burn occurs about two minutes after main engine shutdown and establishes the orbital apogee point. The ohms two burn takes place approximately 30 minutes later and circularizes the orbit. Once satellites are launched and put into orbit, it is often necessary to change the orbit with an on-orbit burn. The common term used in describing on-orbit burns or engine firings is delta V. Delta V is the incremental change in spacecraft velocity measured in feet per second, resulting from the burn. The amount of fuel used during a burn depends on the desired delta V change and the mass of the spacecraft. Because the amount of fuel carried is limited, fuel consumption is one of the primary considerations in spacecraft mission planning and is critical to orbit lifetime. On orbit, a spacecraft can thrust in any direction. Burns along the flight path forward and backward are the most common. A unique feature of any orbital burn is that if no other burns occur, the spacecraft will later always pass again through the point of burn. Forward burns increase the spacecraft's velocity and are known as posigrade burns. With posigrade burns, the flight path of the vehicle will be raised at all points except the burn point. Burns opposite the direction of flight which slow the spacecraft down are called retrograde burns. For retrograde burns, the orbit will be lowered at all points except the burn point. The greater the delta V, the greater the difference between the preburn and postburn orbits. Burns can be combined into maneuver sequences to change orbit size, shape or orientation. One of the most common maneuver sequences is made up of two burns and is used to accomplish an orbit transfer between two circular orbits in the same orbital plane. The most energy efficient transfer between two orbits of this type is the Hohmann transfer. The Hohmann transfer is actually one half of an elliptical orbit with its perigee in one of the orbits and its apogee in the other. The burns occur at the perigee and apogee of the transfer orbit. The use of the Hohmann transfer minimizes the delta V required, thus having the advantage of using minimum fuel. The disadvantage of the Hohmann transfer is that it takes longer than most other transfers. The type of the transfer sequence depends on the mission and the amount of fuel available. For example, a space rescue where time is critical might use a fast transfer while a routine satellite deployment where fuel saved for later use is important would most likely use a Hohmann transfer. The burns discussed so far have all been maneuvers in the original orbital plane and do not affect orbit inclination or node position. There are situations which require an orbital plane change such as setting up a rendezvous or placing a satellite in an equatorial orbit. To change the inclination the thrust vector must be directed at an angle to the orbital plane. A thrust with a component that is perpendicular to the orbital plane at either the ascending or descending node will rotate the orbital plane about the line of nodes. A northerly out-of-plane thrust at the ascending node will increase the inclination of a prograde orbit while a southerly thrust will decrease it. Out-of-plane thrusts require considerable amounts of fuel and are performed only when absolutely required. The space shuttle, for example, using all of its onboard propellant is capable of an on-orbit plane change of less than three degrees. Satellite orbital planes and altitudes are determined by their design mission which very often includes a field of view requirement for optical or communications purposes. The field of view of a satellite is defined as the area of the Earth's surface that is in view from the satellite at any given time. Satellites in high orbits have greater fields of view than those in lower orbits. For example, a satellite at an altitude of 800 nautical miles has a circular field of view with a diameter of about 4100 nautical miles. A satellite at 200 nautical miles has a circular field of view with a diameter of about 2,000 nautical miles. Low-orbit satellites are often used for photography and other types of Earth observation. A satellite placed in a low-inclination circular orbit at an altitude of about 19,300 nautical miles will have an angular velocity exactly equal to that of the Earth's. The satellite would seem to remain stationary in longitude as viewed from the ground. Such orbits are called geosynchronous and are used to provide a continuous communications capability among any system of ground stations within their field of view. The geosynchronous orbit field of view is constant and is limited to a latitude zone of about 70 degrees north and south of the equator. Effective satellite communications from geosynchronous orbit is not possible at either pole. However, because of their altitude, their field of view covers nearly half the globe. A special type of geosynchronous orbit with an inclination of zero degrees is called a geostationary orbit. It appears to hover over a fixed point on the Earth's surface at the equator. Most U.S. communication satellites are in geosynchronous orbits providing near-worldwide communications coverage. For effective communications at high latitudes, the molnia orbit is used. Molnia is the Russian word for lightning and is an orbit used extensively by the Soviet Union for its communication satellites. The molnia orbit is highly eccentric with an apogee that is near the geosynchronous altitude and an inclination of about 63 degrees. The satellite slows down at apogee in the northern hemisphere and whips through perigee in the southern hemisphere. This provides communications in the northern hemisphere for up to 75% of its orbital period. Several satellites properly spaced in molnia orbits can provide constant communications at the northern latitudes. Navigation satellites such as the U.S. Navy's transit system and the Joint Service NavStar GPS Global Positioning System use lower orbits so that a user can receive signals from more than one satellite at any time. Another frequently used orbit is known as a sun-synchronous orbit. These take advantage of the precession of the orbital plane caused by the Earth not being a perfect sphere. All sun-synchronous orbits are highly inclined retrograde orbits which precess eastward around the Earth's polar axis at the rate of one revolution per year. Since the Earth's sun-line also revolves eastward at the rate of one revolution per year, the orbital plane will maintain a constant orientation relative to the Earth's sun-line. If the satellite's period is then synchronized with the rotation of the Earth, it will pass over the same point on the Earth's surface at the same local time at a regular interval. A sun-synchronous satellite ensures that a constant sun angle and uniform lighting exist for the same field of view from pass to pass. Satellites such as those in the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and Landsat are sun-synchronous, imaging the entire Earth on a regular schedule. The gravitational attraction of the Earth on a spacecraft causes it to move in its orbit around the Earth. There are other much smaller forces which will cause a spacecraft to deviate from its desired orbit. These forces cause what are known as orbital perturbations. Orbital precession, which is used to obtain sun-synchronous orbits, results from the perturbing effects of the Earth's non-spherical shape. Other perturbing forces are the gravitational pull of the sun, the moon, and planets, and solar winds, which are charged streams of protons and electrons that heat the Earth's atmosphere and increase atmospheric drag. In most cases, perturbing forces can be compensated for in the spacecraft and orbit design and present no major problems. If the forces disturb the orbit too much, thrusters can be fired to re-establish its desired orbital orientation or altitude. This is particularly true for spacecraft orbiting at very low altitudes where the effects of atmospheric drag are greater and, if not compensated for, will eventually cause the spacecraft to de-orbit. A spacecraft's operational lifetime is frequently limited only by the amount of fuel available to maintain its desired orbit. When its useful life is complete, a satellite is left in orbit or is de-orbited, burning up when re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. When the space shuttle completes its orbital mission, it executes a precise retrograde burn to initiate its controlled return to Earth. This burn occurs nearly halfway around the Earth of the landing site. The new orbit established by the retrograde burn causes the orbiter to enter the Earth's atmosphere about 4,000 miles from the landing site. During the period the orbiter descends from its orbital altitude to atmospheric re-entry, its attitude is maintained by the use of reaction control jets located in the nose and tail of the orbiter. Once the orbiter enters the Earth's atmosphere, its wing and tail aero surfaces begin to become effective and gradually replace the jets for attitude control. As the orbiter nears the landing field, it maneuvers to a long straight-in approach at an angle of 17 to 19 degrees. Nearing the runway, it executes a flare maneuver to reduce its sink rate and glides to a touchdown at approximately 230 miles per hour. As the orbiter rolls to a stop, our journey into the world of orbital mechanics comes to an end for now. This is only the basics of orbital mechanics, an intricate study of planetary and satellite motion. The next time you see a launch, you will see it from a different, somewhat knowledgeable perspective. You will understand the fundamentals of spaceflight.

voice scam, a tsunami of, I love tsunamis, but not this kind. Okay, with Attila Suresse, I'm Cylanda. Welcome to the show, Attila. Hey, thanks for having me, Jay. So this is, I think, Tech Talks with you, and we got to keep up on, you know, on the trouble out there, or actually the trouble in here, the trouble with every electronic device, and especially the computers, which we are wedded and married to these days, especially in the time of COVID. So give us a handle. You talked about this in a PBS roundtable discussion. I thought it was excellent. I thought you were the star of the show. Actually, Attila, you had more to offer. You had more thoughtful, you know, contributions to that discussion.  What's the trajectory here in 2022? Well, it's the same thing that's happened in cyber crime over the past decade. Every year, there's more. You know, people forget about these major breaches from Home Depot to Target. Well, that was like three, four or five years ago. I mean, that's old hat by now. You know, the kind of breaches we see every year, just keep getting bigger and bigger. And there's two ways to look at it. You know, one is that you look at the headlines and, you know, read those articles about how much data is out there and how much your compromises are at risk or, you know, like we get calls here every day about all the kind of scary things that are happening to people or you focus on what you can do. And that's about, you know, looking for ways to maintain or increase the revenue potential of your organization, putting in safeguards and protective services and protective things and protective activities and behaviors and structures that can keep your organization resilient and, by extension, our community resilient against the types of cyberattacks that are evolving and getting better and better every year. Better and better for who? Well, they're getting more sophisticated and in terms of payouts, they're definitely getting better. I'll tell you that much. And I wanted to address your tsunami analogy. I think that's the best word that you can use to describe the types of scams and cyberattacks that we see here almost every day. In fact, we just had one probably about an hour ago just come in. It was a major business email compromise. And yeah, we have to constantly try to remediate this stuff. But I'll tell you, it's a lot harder to clean up the spill once it's on the floor. You're better off getting a good grip on that cup that's got your water in it if you get my analogy. Yeah, it's so poetic. So, okay, we live in a time of stress of difficulty. It's the third year of COVID. I told you before the show began, there is a really interesting article by David Brooks, a columnist for the New York Times today. And he's a very conservative, thoughtful writer. He doesn't jump to conclusions.  But he wasn't laid back in this article.  And maybe they have a different view of the future, you know, their level of hope is not that great. Their level of worry, concern, you know, is greater. And there's a lot of factors that make for that. And he looked at various stats around the country and our lives and our society about how, you know, it was more violence, more, more threat, more confrontation, airplanes, highways, really everywhere, and crime. And I said to myself, gee, I'm going to talk to it till it's the rest of the minute. I have to raise this because, you know, I think that this has to be involved in the, you know, the whole thing about hacking and this, you know, talk about tsunamis of fishing and what not. It's got to be related to the way these people, these criminals, I'm very clear about that, these criminals, you know, feel and why they get into it. So I think there's a couple of factors. One is that we are more dependent in the time of COVID on our computers.  And I don't think it's just me. I think it's the whole society. There's been a number of articles about workflow and offices, how people are, you know, connecting by the various remote, you know, software and doing their job that way. Well, they're relying more on computers and software. And I do too. And the other thing is that there's a lot of people responding to that. I don't know if I've told you before, but, you know, we love software. ThinkTek has, you know, 70 operating pieces of software. And I'll tell you too, that a lot of the software is not US software. Europe is heavily involved in building software for offices and individuals that that is just as good or better and often cheaper than American software.  But for these little guys, you know, who want to help you with a specific task, the European companies are in the market for sure. And that means that you don't know exactly what the origin of this code is. You don't know exactly who is playing it. I know there's a bunch of software companies right now very successful in the US market, you know, who are home ported in Russia, in Moscow. How do you feel about that? I mean, this is a level of concern there. So what I'm saying is that we are in a transformation in office and home, in the way we relate to the computer, how much we use it, our level of interest in new softwares, our level of interest, maybe in justifying the risk by the benefit and not thinking a whole lot about, you know, fishing and hacking and ransomware and all that, which makes for an open opportunity for the hackers, because their pomegranate is now riper than it was before. And they, if you follow the David Brooks article, and they are possibly more aggressive and less restrained by notions of law-abiding than they were before, wherever they are. Your thoughts, please. Well, when it comes to COVID, I think everyone can agree that we are going to be a little bit different than when we went into it. A good example as it relates to technologies, think about grandma, right? Well, grandma have, you know, done her pharmacy order online before COVID, or with a smartphone, maybe not. But all of a sudden now, that's the only way you can get your medicine. So there's been some learning, there's been some technology adoption. There's this notion that perhaps the remote workforce is here to stay, at least to a certain degree, that a good percentage, well, that is like a significant percentage of people when given the option to go back to work in an office won't take it. And what does that mean in terms of collaboration, right? Is collaboration going to go down? Is productivity going to go down? Are we going to experience different types of homes now that have more home offices built into them? Is the demand for that going to go up? A lot of questions we don't know. And I think you'll also agree that there's going to be studies and books and reports and papers written about COVID-19 for decades to come. It's going to be a real interesting economic experiment. And we don't know what's going to happen. Of course, I think we've always been plagued by correlation versus causation in any sort of study. And there is a tendency for some, maybe for some people to get some attention by correlating two things together that maybe are not related, I don't know. And the big question you need to ask yourself is how confident are you in anything that you come across in the news? From what I'm telling you, have you Googled what I'm saying about these kind of events? Because we haven't even talked about the Google scams. But yeah, you'll see that there is a great deal of source amnesia when it comes to these kind of studies. There's also a good deal of just follow-up research. So if you, before jumping to conclusions about us becoming a more aggressive society, maybe it's a good idea to look at that history book, because we've done some pretty nasty things, I'll tell you. And I think during the time of COVID, we've also done a lot of, we've done a lot of really good things to help each other out. I mean, we are experiencing inflation this year. So there are some economic changes that are occurring that we experienced some last year. But that was because in order to stabilize our economy, a lot of money was pumped into the business community to keep jobs. So yeah, there is some inflation, but you know what, at least we still have some jobs and we still have a working society, because it could have been disastrous if they hadn't jumped in. And not just America, but all the countries around the world. So yeah, we do have inflation. You asked earlier about if you could get your laptop fixed. Well, of course you can get your laptop fixed, but it might cost a little bit more because there's supply chain shortages when it comes to electronics. And that trickles down to everything from computers to cars to industrial control systems to the raw materials sometimes that are needed for building. There's been a huge supply chain disruption. And you know, there's not going to be much, it's going to take us some time to catch up, but the supply chain could have been completely shut down. So what's the alternative, right? A little bit of inconvenience, but you can still get a laptop for your day to day work, Jay. You don't have to worry about that. You're still covered. You can still get your laptop fixed if things occur. It could just take a little bit longer than you're used to. Let's address that for a minute. You know, because there's a lot of people out there that say, you know, you're right.  And they're also vulnerable. And we'll talk about the Google, you know, phishing and all that in a scam. But what strikes me is that people have in the back of their mind that either A, those big tech companies are going to put patches through. They're going to somehow protect us. I know it's not true. You don't have to argue that with me. It's not true. But here we are. And we would like to feel complacent about it. And we do. And when people say, and this is what they say, this is what they say, if, if I get ransomware, assuming I have backup, because there's no, there's no, there's no excuse for not having backup. There's no backup to not having back, either have it or you don't. Okay, assuming you have backup, and the machine goes down, and they're trying to do a ransomware attack on you or something else. Yeah, it's okay. You know why? Because I'll treat the machine as a loss, as a total loss. I will put, I will, you know, either reset it, if I can, or I'll just go down to Best Buy or somebody and get another one. And then I'll, you know, reload the software on the new one, then be back in business. It's like an adaptation approach. I will adapt to the attack. I'm not going to chase them around. I'm not going to pay any money. I'm not going to worry my head about all this. I'm just going to reset. I'm just going to do a reset. And there are problems with that. And I was going to ask you, what are the problems with that very simplistic approach? You're completely right, Jay. You know, when I hear that kind of argument that, we can just get some other equipment, and we'll be back up and running, that, you know, this didn't really cost us anything, then I worry, because that is, that's not a sustainable way to run an organization in general. Imagine, imagine if the DMV had to do that. You know, that would be a, you know, you really depend on the DMV to get your, well, or let's just say a hospital. You depend on a hospital to, to be there when you need them. A laxadaisical approach like that isn't, isn't sustainable. As an organization, what you want to look for is you want to show the competition and your clients that you have the best in class service, that you value your assets, that you value the security of your assets, especially when it comes to customer data. That is what's going to put you ahead of the next guy. That's what's going to make your business succeed when the other one does not. Protecting customer assets, protecting the revenue, and really looking at your costs. So, you know, what is the difference between 1% of uptime versus, let's say 99% of uptime versus 98% of uptime, right? Any sort of disruptions in your business. Business disruptions are huge, especially when you start to look at organizations of greater than 100 people. Think about this. 99% uptime means that you can be down for about three days per year, right? 99%, 98%. What is that? Another, yeah. So what does that mean in terms of cost? Well, if your cost of operation, and we'll just do some spitball math here, is $100,000 per month, right? Well, let's just do it for easy, man. Let's say it's $30,000 per month. You're very, very lean organization. That's a very lean organization. That's not even realistic, but anyways, $30,000 per month. That's how many thousands of dollars per day. A company with 100 employees is probably at $300,000 per month. They're probably roughly at around $60,000 loss at being a 98% uptime. So moving from 98% to 99%, you're looking at roughly a $30,000 gain. And the tools and software and everything that you need, the procedures that you just described about having a good backup plan or a good business continuity plan, a good DR plan, having the proper safeguards, having a security operations team monitor and maintain your network to ensure that all these patches that you just described from your manufacturers are coming through and that your systems are secure and they're watching for lateral movement and bad guys attacking in there. All that costs less than downtime. It's simple math and you can't even put a dollar amount on customer trust. And because once you break that trust, that's it. And I'll tell you right now, for anyone who's listening, Windows, or not Windows, Microsoft released a whole bunch of updates last week. Be sure that you update, there are six zero days in that update pastures about 97 CVEs in there. So there's quite a lot. It's one of the largest we've seen to date. And of course, it stems from a lot of bad actors finding holes in the net. They are finding ways to get inside of those systems, especially servers, exchange servers is the big one, for example. The biggest thing that gets harped on by us from Homeland Security when we have our conversations is to ensure that all systems are patched by the latest patches from software vendors. So that's Microsoft, that's into it, you name it oracle, you got to make sure that those systems are patched because as they discover vulnerabilities, they release them into the wild. And it's just a matter of days and most weeks before they get exploited. And there's major cleanup to happen afterward. So you got to do the right thing, think about your uptime costs, think about your downtime costs, think about what this is going to mean to your customers. If there's a problem, find ways to secure your assets. Be that company that you want to do business with. Do you want to go to your bank and worry that perhaps their security posture is not so great and your money could get stolen? No way. You switch banks right away. And it's the same thing with every business, whether it's a dog rumor, insurance company, you name it. Microsoft. So I have a Microsoft operating system on this computer right here. Not that I watch it all, I leave it on. Not that I watch it all day, but is it automatically downloading patches? Or do I have to take a primitive steps and what are those steps? Some of them are user interaction. It depends on the patch. Patches also stack. So sometimes they need a reboot. In fact, one of the biggest problems we have is the clients just don't reboot their computers sometimes. So we have to kind of do that for them. Because if you don't, the patches sometimes don't get applied. It's very important. So I reboot every so often checking for those Windows updates, making sure that you're not running any end of life software. We come across software out there that's Microsoft Office 2007. Well, I'll tell you right now, that's a very easy piece of software to compromise. You don't want that out there in the wild. Make sure you're running the latest version of QuickBooks. So how do I know whether it's been downloaded automatically or whether I have to do something affirmative? Where do I go on the operating system or on the web to determine whether I'm current or whether I need to do something? Well, I'll just tell you the easy tech support answer. Press the start button in the bottom left hand corner of your screen. Type the words Windows space update. And it'll come up with a Windows update. And the window will show you whether your system is pending patches, if they need to come through. Sometimes, like let's say if you have a Dell or Lenovo, they have their own update tool that will update critical firmware patches. So it'll say, hey, we have a new BIOS firmware patch. You need to push this through right away. Otherwise, you risk having a brick for a system. So those will pop up also. Look for those user interactive pop up boxes. You mentioned zero day. And I recall that was particularly threatening. And there was an issue about phones that had zero day nefarious software on them, where you didn't even have to do anything with the phone. But the bad guys would have control of it and get your data. Am I right? What is a zero day software? What is that? Zero day means it's something just like what you describe. It is a that needs to be patched right away. They can't wait any longer to patch it. It's a critical thing. It's a critical hole that can allow a bad actor inside of that device. And then they can leapfrog from there across other points in your network. Part of last week's patch Tuesday, release did have a zero day in there that specifically had lateral movement for networks that were unpatched. And it was zero user interactivity. So what that would mean is that if you received an email with a zero day attached in a Word document macro, that was, let's say you open that with an older version of Microsoft Office and or you just simply allow it, even with the new version of Microsoft Word, it could then traverse the network, gain footholds inside of the network. And from there on out, they could do whatever they want. Everything from selling access to your network, which is one method of stealing your data, another method. And I know ransomware keeps coming up as a as a topical piece. But I'll tell you ransomware is the very last step in a bad actors playbook. They're not there to encrypt your systems until they have already taken everything they possibly can looked at everything they can look at stolen all the possible emails and correspondence and put in additional footholds so that after they do deploy the ransomware, they can redeploy it if they want to. Well, you know, it strikes me there's a tremendous inequity here. It's sort of like if you're in a negotiation with a pathological adversary, you know, he has the advantage because he's willing to he's willing to do things that you wouldn't do. I mean, see this happening in national government these days. But if I'm if I'm a bad actor, unless I come from Bulgaria, just for example, I get to know when Microsoft is downloading patches, I get to know what the holes are because they're publicized, because the guys on the other side of the equation are relatively speaking, they're transparent. So I know what my job is and I and I have tools now that are more sophisticated than they were a few years ago. So in many ways, I as the hacker, the one who wants to get into the machine, and maybe ultimately do a ransomware attack, I have an advantage because guys on the other side are open, transparent, and innocent, relative to my, you know, villainous intent. Am I right? Is this the way it's going? Because it sounds like as we as we proceed here, and even with the best efforts of Microsoft and the others, the hackers develop an advantage because their programming is unknown. You know, no, it's not transparent. And the Microsoft programming relatively speaking is transparent. What do you think? Well, I think it's, you know, you mentioned inequity. I mean, they don't see they don't see what they're doing as villainous. They see themselves as like Robin Hood.  And, you know, I think the way that they see it is that their needs are greater than yours. And that's that's just a common human need. I think you get into trouble when you start to, you know, dehumanize anyone, whether they're the ones doing the the bad acting or not. That's where that's a problem. They know it's wrong, though. They know it's criminal. They know that they're, you know, visiting harm on people, right? To a degree. But, you know, in the in the same way, the perception in foreign countries is different for those that do this kind of work. So for example, the Indian scammers that, you know, we've, we've, you know, done some work with, they see themselves as, as heroes, right?  And he takes money from those rich Americans and distributes it to our poor community. So a democratization of sorts. Yeah, it's, it's a different perception. And I don't think that's going to change unless you change the perception or they have other means by which to feed themselves. The scan that we're going to talk about at the beginning of the show, but the Google voice tsunami is exactly that. They find ways to infiltrate free services like Google voice. They look at, you know, us rich Americans posting things on, on social media like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. And they reach out to us and they say, Hey, I want to make sure that you're not a scammer. So I'm going to send you a code and you just tell me what that code is. Well, what they've just done is they've opened up a Google voice account or just a Google account in general. They've authenticated with your phone or they've done a password reset with your account. And now they have accessed all your stuff. They can go inside your bank accounts, they can repost, you know, your ad and repeat the, the scheme over and over again. There's lots of things they can do once they're inside your Google account, but that's the gateway to the Google account, which is why we sent out that email blast as a warning, where if you're ever asked for your Google authentication code, do you not give that to anyone? That's someone trying to break into your account. So that's, that's, that's a big, that's a big no, no. So hopefully what's the Google authentication account? What is that? So when you sign up for any sort of Google service, you have an option to do two factor authentication. And that two factor authentication usually comes in the form of a text message. So you tie your cell phone with that. And that, you know, the password reset come request comes along and it says, Hey, we've just sent a text message to your cell phone. Let's make sure that you are who you say you are. And so the scammers have figured this out. They say, Hmm, if we're trying to do this to someone, if we're trying to find a victim, we all know that they have a cell phone. All we need to do is find out that cell phone number, which is readily available. I'm just looking at the latest T-mobile breach.   But I've been burned before, right? They play the victim. That's how that's how the play goes. They play the victim. Oh, no, I've been burned before.  I'm going to send you a text message. You just verify that with me. And sure enough, the text message comes through, they verify and as soon as you give them that number, they change your password, they can start resetting your accounts, start getting into your bank accounts, etc. That's all you have to do is give them that number. So this is called SC or social engineering. It's a hot topic. It's been around a long time. I think in the movie hackers, they had something like this where it's not necessarily all these, you know, technological safeguards, behavioral safeguards, education, skepticism, being aware that these kinds of scams exist, knowing if you're a target. These are all really important things. Some industries are being hit a lot harder than others. Financial services, real estate, mortgage brokers, big time, title companies, right? They all are regular, regular targets because they deal with high dollar amounts on a regular basis. And they're wedded to the computer. I'm sorry? What is it? They're wedded to the computer. They do business online in so many ways. They do and each transaction can be, you know, hundreds if not millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands, not millions of dollars, depending on the type of transaction that is occurring. We've, you know, we covered some time ago about how an AOAO was duped out of a quarter million dollars. And that one made pretty big local headlines. But we've seen that kind of activity happen at other AOAOs, you know, different dollar amounts, but still very substantial. It's very easy for once business email compromise occurs, meaning a bad actor has gotten inside of someone's email account. The first thing they do is they download all those messages and they start going through them, see what they can do. If you've ever emailed someone a credit card number or an identification card or any of that stuff, that's fair game. Information is power.  So what I'd like to know is how do you spot the fishing? Now, you know, you're right. I mean, fishing has been around for a long time since the 90s. And social engineering is, it's an art form. And a lot of people fall for it because they're silly. They're not being paranoid enough. Smart people do too. They're smart people do too. They get conned, yeah? So it's the human condition. And we're not talking about patches. We're not talking about sophisticated things. We're not even talking about, you know, making sure the ports in your network are closed up properly. No, we're just talking about you getting fooled. So what I'd like to spend a minute on here, Attila, is how do you know when you're being fooled? Give me an example of when my radar should be, I know they're very creative, so it ain't easy. But when should my radar go up? So we do quite a lot of this in our Employee Security Awareness Training programs. But I'll give you a big red flag. Anything that calls you to do anything urgently. If you get a call from someone claiming to be from the IRS saying that you need to pay us right now with gift cards in order for you to not be arrested, and you need to go pay us right now. So, you know, you may not know that the IRS does not get paid in gift cards, I promise you. But you may have a spidey sense tingling if they're asking you to do something right away right now because it's very urgent. So that should be your big red flag. Anything right now? Oh, oh, you need to read me this text message right now. All you need to click on this link right now. All you need to pay us right now because your computer is infected with something. All these scams all have a common thread of immediate, like some sort of immediate need. The long ones, like the romance scams, that's one of the also the top three that is reported to the FBI. Many of those don't get reported because of shame. Just be aware that there's a lot of shame involved in this. Companies that do have an incident, if they don't have to, they don't want to let everyone know about it, and they don't really need to because it makes no difference. So we are very confidential with who we work with for that reason, because we understand that the reputation damage can be very devastating for something that may not be all that serious, could be relatively trivial, was just an accident, and you know, hey accidents happen, right? No one wants to know that think tech could be breached, right? We don't want that out there. Nobody wants to be embarrassed and tell the world that you've been made a fool of, especially if it's a phishing scam, especially. Let me ask you one last question before we go until I'm referring back to this sort of practical solution I was proposing to you. Suppose I have a duplicate of my system. I build a shadow system. For every computer on a staff member's desk, I have another one, not even plugged in right now, brand new, and it has the same software on it. Maybe not completely configured, not completely connected, but it's there. And aside from my backup, you know, I have backup somewhere, maybe maybe in some safe cloud somewhere. So what about that as a modus operandi, to have a backup system ready to go ready to plug in, you take the old one offline, put the new one on, and you don't even have to go to Best Buy. I hate to say, J, because we have to deal with ransomware on a pretty consistent basis. And I mentioned earlier how ransomware is the last step on a long line of plays in that bad actors playbook, right? Well, guess what? They've probably been in that system too. Some of these guys are in there for months, sometimes years, for a long time, because it's far more valuable. Just think about it like COVID versus anthrax, right? COVID, you can carry that around for a few weeks and spread it to other people, and you won't have to show any symptoms. Anthrax, boom, you're dead in four hours, right? Which one survives? You don't have anthrax outbreaks all the time, right? So in the same way, they will get access to a system and they will milk that for a long time. And that can be even more embarrassing, like no one wants to hear about the fire and the fireworks factory, right? It's the same kind of analogy here. You can have someone in there for a long time watching employee transactions, and yeah, maybe you could swap out a system, but if they have that foothold, they'll just spread it into that system, even if it is brand new.  Well, guess what? That one's infected as well. Still there. Okay, very, very last question, because we got to go one last question. And I always think about this when you and I talk. At some point, a small or even a medium-sized company is going to say, I need to have somebody in-house looking at this. I need to have a dedicated person right here in the company who will spend all day doing this. At what point does that become a practical and real necessity? At what point do I have to do? Do you think I have to do that? Well, I believe that having security expertise, yeah, either in-house or on hand, either is fine. I'm talking about in-house. I know I can always call you. And there's a whole industry being, but what about in-house right there next desk? Some large organizations will have a security team. We typically don't see that until, let's say they're almost at the multinational level. We'll have a security team for this. Most of the time it is outsourced. So if you have, let's say fewer than 5,000 employees, usually it's an outsourced activity. Otherwise, yeah, there are typically security officers for large organizations. They understand, when I say they, I mean these large organizations, understand that the cost of not doing it is so great. They want to protect their revenue. They want to protect their increase in revenue. They want to protect their shareholders. These are all key activities and this is where you'll get your chief security officer on staff and they'll be there for this. And I'm not sure if there's many of those kind of roles here in Hawaii. I'm not really familiar with that, but I do know across the country that that is a very coveted role in a security company. Becoming a security officer for a large insurance company or a bank is very prestigious. So, yes, for sure. This is an important role. Well, you know, it's just one more reason why ThinkTech has to consider expanding its staff to 5,000 or more. And thank you for pointing that out to me. Well, you know, I do know a security professional or two. So probably help you out there as well, Jay. Thank you. Tell us a long time friend of ThinkTech and the founder and CEO of Cylanda. Thank you so much for joining us. Always appreciate your discussions with us and how much we learn. Aloha. Appreciate it, Jay. Stay safe. Stay safe.


USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has entered Red Sea, US 5th Fleet announced on Saturday. Eisenhower, USS Philippine Sea and USS Mason entered the Red Sea after transiting from the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal, November 4, the 5th Fleet revealed in a statement. This was the first case of two US aircraft carriers sailing together in the eastern Mediterranean Sea in decades, according to the 5th Fleet. The US military command earlier reported that the Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group arrived in the Middle East and the Sencombe area of responsibility as part of the increase in regional posture. The strike group is commanded by carrier strike group 2 and comprised of flagship aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, guided missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea, guided missile destroyers USS Mason and USS Gravely of destroyer squadron 22, carrier Airwing 3, with its 9 squadrons, and the information warfare commander. The aircraft carriers are stationed in the region amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Shortly after Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin extended Ford's deployment and shifted the strike group to the eastern Mediterranean as part of the US effort to keep the conflict from spreading.


Welcome back everybody, there's your pretty disclaimer. Let's get started. Like always, we're missing days, it's not really easy. Everything's good. Monday we ended up with a sentiment of going along. We went pretty much out of the way, I mean it's just so easy. Market no longer interesting. There you go, went along off here, nice and easy. Even if you missed it, you got the nice free trade back into this area here. And the reason why I don't sleep much, why I've been missing streams, because Asia's been active the last couple of days. Asia's just been great, the one moving the market. This is the one where you have to shift your sleep and pay attention to it. And I mean the only thing to note from Tuesday is the lack of the liquidity or lack thereof due to the fight. I mean you can see these bars are very one-sided, not really too much variance in the styles of candles presented to us. That's always an interesting time and we get those just because you always say okay, something or another either there's no liquidity or either our price is being coerced in the direction. Wednesday's sort of coming in much lower just off the back end off of Asia's session. London and session sort of consolidating, that's nice. That's always good sign for us, that's like okay everything's decently normal. New York for now within that. Where this was, we can sort of say anything past the break of here and retest it is always decent for us. So anything above this line here is always sort of coming in expecting to be bullish on. Because I mean I don't think we're overly bearish today just due to the fact that we've been, I mean we claw back a lot in terms of Monday end up doing, she just ends up saying hi. It would have been a different story, it would have been overly bearish because price coming in and seeing eats a lot of logs, but right now all we're really seeing now is a bunch of shorts stacked up before major sort of news event. So that's never a bearish or too bearish sign, that's usually very good for us. But like most of our news events that happen at 830, it's happening all the way at 1500. So that's always a nice time we have to sort of breathe and sort of say okay during New York, especially you probably expect price to try and make its way down once more to grab as many shorts as it possibly can. I mean you can see spot here, I mean that's where we've finally got buyers, but now we're back to this heavy sort of selling, I expected it to be heavy selling now, Monday finally convince people then instantly back to selling. We're getting a few sort of buyers here, so can easily sort of drop down a bit more, have more selling. Okay, but generally we're really red, that's always a good thing for sort of being bearish. And as already for today come signs and reasons to be bearish just because you are coming in and you are coming with heavy short. So you're already coming into pre some notion that okay price will be bearish, it's just a matter of execution now, that's all that's really left for me, you can see over the last couple of days you can see Tuesday, there's Monday, Monday the stagnating and actually consolidation here, then Tuesday just declined and finally brought sort of Bitcoin down, so Bitcoin went high, Tuesday finally brought it back down to the senses and now sort of back into sort of sensible here where we ideally wanted it to be sort of last week's close which is where we were probably expecting price to come back into and again sort of this here was a nice sort of extension for us or a surprise sort of pump I guess, not even a pump but it was a surprise sort of movement where they just sort of pushed it a bit higher decided because we went the green and not monthly green and then sort of coincided coming out of the gate now we're already finding ourselves down midweek back at that area again where we finished the expected price to sort of come in and sort of naturally sort of find ourselves higher we know that a lot of shorts ends up getting pushed just because the fact that it's just been sort of in directional where the unit monodirectional where it's just been going one way in terms of straight down we know that's always a good point where we are sort of adding shorts, good morning, that's about five minutes before we need to bargle, even if we think now we look at the sort of higher time frames we just add this area here because it's just a nice little consolidation forms here we're sort of keeping ourselves back and thrown again you can see the same thing for this part at least here nice little consolidation forms just off the back end of this volume area I mean it's probably straight there you go, that's sort of the consolidation area dealing with that's a nice little area here so anything sort of coming out we'll sort of grab a lot of breakout traders either way and again we can sort of question for them but again, back down so this is something that you want to see maybe there's this where you target if we sort of have that drop prior to sort of two o'clock we start being very aggressive into grabbing stops okay definitely look for this area here in terms of sort of bullish arguments there are not really many to be made I mean just looking at the overly negative sort of look that we have here usually expected to just go straight to hell from there but on the sort of off chance that we grab it it'll sort of manifest itself in sort of very early pump in the sort of day cycle so you're probably expecting it to push up first again if it starts pushing up it starts clearing everybody out here before anything major happens now you know they're just trying to get rid of all the shorts then they're just going to sort of slam it down here but we're also holding it out so hard to potentially do something like this then a pump up if you're bullish again it starts pushing very much out of range just doesn't want to come down sort of thing and that will be a bearish scenario okay there you go there's your climax at two o'clock you had a nice little build up of longs and then we sort of explode because that's all the advice you need for any sort of newsdays is pretty much doing the opposite of what the mark ends up presenting and you'll usually get away with sort of not knowing how to read as long as you understand that the reason why you're doing the opposite is because you're leading sheep coercing them then you're slaughtering them at a specific time so ideally you'd want to go against everyone that's sent to the slaughterhouse it's a bit of an imagery and again here like with spy we're sort of at that support area here so it makes sense that we've got that one last dig potentially coming out at us but generally speaking we're at an area where we can definitely look to reclaim some ground if anything in terms of the weekly side again we're sort of very low I mean this is our range for the week so far not even so far probably we're at the lows so this is a nice little easy area to target nice pull of liquidity for us and we sort of push off of that because most people come in and again you've got to think of retail retail will come in they'll say okay there's your flag anytime it breaks I short there's a break here or there's a break here wherever it is they end up shorting so that's what you're looking for then you are looking for this then reverse and that's why this is bullish when we go down with bullish when we go up with bearish essentially if we go up with those people who are anticipating short which we've seen they have been going short they get switched out they go break out long break out break out then slam down and essentially that's all the reasoning behind why you do the opposite and it's not really too much to it you just don't need I mean you can just have two brain cells and this should work out even if you just rub them together it'll be nice and easy nothing's sort of too surprising everything's sort of on the level you don't need to be a genius you need super in-depth sort of analysis it's just okay the reason why you do something is because the flow of order is against you that's usually a good sign because that means everyone everyone's doing one thing that means liquidity is getting stacked up in the other direction and there's money to be made in the other direction essentially that is usually why we do the opposite that's where liquidity is and that's where money is so that's where they can make money out of people good morning good morning getting that pushed down very early again it's not really something we want really one sort of bullish yeah definitely bullish again we don't we don't want it to early because what happens up happening is our engines are getting set we're getting nice up pivot it starts pushing high and by the time you open the market we're up here and we're sort of introducing longs which is never a good time what we really want to be doing I mean these guests is fine but for us right now because we want this to be sort of bearish early on so we can get this slammed down much later again we're just looking for that delayed response 30k? God damn it man you guys 30k's man it's 40k bro what am I 40k? it's a surprising amount of shorts and you can see that on the day view you've got all of these closed bars just here you can see just all the wicks just closing here very very sort of aggressively so you can see that's where volume is and again so as soon as you see it was that alternatively look over here and there you go you can see where the closes are that's where the volume is and you can see why I mean you've got the wick here but you can see why more times more times the closes will represent the largest amount of volumes and the desire where they keep the volumes we know that here a surprise here that's where the volume is but everything else came after the fact and we can see generally that's where we wanted to keep volume so that's why we're sort of bearish they're just sort of grabbing longs here so they're averaging longs here like when we get closes on the upside they're averaging shorts here the average shorts here the average longs and this is why we want to look at closes because they set a limit bit like okay average price we let people get pulled out here here and here but we're sort of averaging in we're sort of saying okay this is where we want to come in this is where we want to keep our volume and then we sort of jump up on it volume being here you can see that I mean it's in here but there's your sort of potential say okay if you go down that's where you probably get breakout traders essentially like always we can draw the trend lines to just lower people but that would be mean and when not mean people so carry on being mean and right again and just take these just what retail draws they buy the breakout they buy the breakout it fails and again this is where you're expecting to come in again so you're expecting to come in here just with as high as you make it but you can draw like that as well we can draw the wider one here it's up to you again like I always say reason why I don't like trend lines because the large amount of variations and the subjectivity subjective nature of it and it's just something that a baby knows like oh yeah growth goes like this it's following a trend so it's something that everyone knows and it's something that's easily exploited so it's something that you really want to avoid using unless you have data to sort of come in and say oh okay everyone here went in short so we're just going to go up anyway but we know that most people sort of buy this breakout the only time the short is when they're told to sort of say oh no this is a high sell, sell, sell and then they panic sell then when they panic sell it goes high then they panic buy then when they panic buy it goes back down then it's just constant cat and mouse let's see have we got new data no maybe they're just still printing or updating the website I don't think I might brush them I think that time coming in here it's boring right now because again with me it should be very short streams I don't know why they make me drag this out to an hour like I can end it here you guys know my opinions for today do you look at Aaron I think the only thing that I can drag out is looking at old coins so I'll wait to go next one I don't think most people can wait I mean you're waiting until two o'clock like I have time to sleep because I've been up since Asia I am exhausted out of my mind so I'm just planning to wake up before the news and it should be all fine nothing should come in and just surprise me I'm just trying to see if it's better there's not too much to go on making it come back and it's nice to break out for it still not back to all time highs so a lot in the tank but good thing for us is just because it's not news, new highs that means we get these points to reject off which is always nice so I can drag this out for a couple more we'll go into a sort of so I can go and sleep for about three hours I guess and wake up for the rest of the trading session at the same time I don't think there's any there's not really a I mean sure you have this area where we stop it after a nice little decline so you can definitely see it try to extend a bit higher maybe if it finds itself up here but again with today you're sort of trying to put all the expectations on whatever bitcoin does everything will end up just following suit so you've got to adjust everything to that now so now okay where's your down then where's that climb that you're expecting so are you expecting this nice little star punt and a push up off today oh we get expecting much less where it doesn't budge for a bit then snaps with it aggressively but we know that FOMC Minutes can be very aggressive and very fun that's what makes them so good to trade but new traders it's like it's like the complete opposite it makes it a nine-inch trade and build up for our area nice little blue area so you'll definitely see it go here come back down slam either here here push back up you've got areas to come into it but at the same time we've got to look at what these ones we've got to look at news I mean check coins for a little bit to just live and die of news they've got let's just call a spade a spade so you've got to treat them as such yeah it's there you go we've been preparing for this the whole week just have a look at it you're blinding me there you go no I don't want to look at you see all of it there you go 2 hours ago scarrows 63% midfielder transactions so going up to fluff maybe just smells just reeks of bubble just reeks of bubble yeah just reeks of being a bubble that's fine that's good probably just being bearish on this we've got to look at it if something is being speculative we don't really treat it with too much dignity it's just going up because idiots are biting in sounds like a wrongful I've been wild since I've done this in terms of looking at anything what's looking nothing in the horizon that's fine so it's mostly speculative bearish sustaining it windfall I'm looking for a second wind nothing to have a second wind to we're sort of coming to a logical high we'll probably see some selling I don't think it completely dumps I don't mean to be overly negative but we're just trying to taper expectations the things we've been looking at right now it's just okay this is mostly caused by a domino effect speculative news after speculative news nothing too sustained on those are the fundamentals and charts that's essentially how you do alt coins or shake coins you're unsure you can totally avoid all the news but just in case you go inside but generally you can see it's already at the bottom it's looking like the same thing as bitcoin Avax same thing here it's just the same thing just different variations this one's slightly different but most of the same thing where we're just coming in we've got a low area here at the same time we can easily push up and break out here it's just really simple here again exactly the same we have our numbers in terms of you get slightly different variations of the pie but everything should just follow suit here either at a low or at a high getting played with so everything's got a nice little low to it we've got a decent amount of volume accumulating short which is always what you want to see if you want to go long hopefully nothing comes out, I'm surprised here's ES again drew this bluff at retail but again when they get in here you can see that you get comfortable you get comfortable in this breakout and they get rumpled and I think it's their own fault sorry for them but at the same time it's just darts, it's not how could you be so you're demowally bad at this and then to add insult to injuries just they see this oh no it's double top and so being in double top you can see where they captured the volume just below this area here, nice little short throw, push it back down again we're just coming down into an area we're expecting a price to potentially bounce off of it's a nice, it should have been a nice little simple day we've been collecting short, we've got a secondary area we can test to, if we need that double bottom, if we need to do something like this we have that with most things but generally if it does this you're going long all hell break loose, yep that's my go maybe get a swipe in here and swipe in there but regardless if you're seeing shorts before too, you're going not even being as close, you're just looking at that and saying there it goes, this is short, I think we have what, 10.30 prior but nothing too major in terms of in terms of to dwarf or rather everything's being dwarfed by this 2 o'clock epilepsy minutes again you might expect whipsaw where price goes here, here then does something like this that's always a sort of a potential scenario you've got a plan for, where price may come this then goes all the way down and this then hits here and just recovers and just does some fallery but you are just looking for walls that come in, points where we're getting absorbed at to say okay there's a bottom, there's a top things sort of make sense, so maybe here maybe even here if they're feeling a bit adventurous depends on how much they want to sort of free up and allow to get out the market at the same time how much can they get if they go a bit lower and if they sort of push that down it's just that whole thing with balance if they've got a strike that is like okay if they go this down these guys get to go in profits yeah sure but at the same time do we get more shorts that replace those ones if we don't then okay that's fine this has been an exercise in racing time we got rid of these guys as well to add to the usual stuff that came about okay cool so it was very sort of a successful endeavor pull it away essentially that's the whole reasoning behind everything my favourite day for them so yeah my favourite day my funnest day and I think with that I think we'll end it here thank you guys so much for coming hopefully you guys know what you guys are doing today when in doubt just counter trade everybody always sort of worked out especially on days like this again like I sort of mentioned there's that early here based on time if we go down too early we need to correct it so we can go down at the appropriate time you're just sort of washing it until sort of two o'clock if it's appropriate then you enter the trade essentially we all along hopefully this should be a nice decent long day watch out for those stockpons don't try getting too long too early if you want a sort of safety maybe for entering shallow then slowly add as we go down actually no there shouldn't be any slowly adds should be a fast add again the main thing you should about today is just having things done at the right time essentially that's the main thing for today as long as everything shows at the right time everything should be good and with that I will catch you guys tomorrow stay safe trade safe peace
