Sign up today. The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes on<PHONE_NUMBER> or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge. Now, Steve Rhodes. Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to the April 30th, the Thursday, Thursday 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. Let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And the easiest way to do that, well, it's 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, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance. That life is going to toss at us. Now, today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I, just past one o'clock in the afternoon. I want you to know that I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but much, much more important than that. During this next 60 minutes, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. You can dial on in 877-927-664. If you can't dial in, we've got you covered there, too. You can always send me an email. Let those fingers do the walking. Send me an email to Steve at tfnn.com inside the subject heading, please put radio show question and in our Tiger's Den, well, any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on terrific Thursday. Of course, this is Tiger, Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to less show right now. We've got all the indices in the red with the exception of the spot volatility index. The Dow is down 362 points, about one and a half percent. S&P up one and a quarter percent, 37 points. NASDAQ down only three tenths. NASDAQ 100, four tenths of a percent. That's 32 points.  It's off three and a quarter points percent, 44 points. The summaries are down three percent. There are 54 points out there. You've got the spot volatility straight down to 3476. Up 11%, watch that one day rate of change. Although lately because of these wide swings out here, I'm not so sure I rely completely on my one day rate of change, 10% tool for the spot volatility index. But it's still in play, but maybe a bit shaky these days. You've got gold down 17 bucks and silver's off 29 cents. That's one and nearly 2% in silver. It's 1.9%. Lights we crude is up 16% or two bucks in change. She's trading at 1747. Gold's up a couple of pennies and Treasury bonds, 30 years up 19 ticks. As we speak, Amazon has leading the charge dollar wise to the upside of 44 bucks. Service now is up 26. You've got ABIO Med is up 24. That's 14%. To the downside, booking holdings are 41 or two and three quarters percent. Credit acceptance corp. We had looked at that yesterday. Don't remember what our take was on it. Off the top of my head, but it is down 33 buck runes as we speak. Auto zone is up 27. Let's go to our first caller. Our first caller is going to be Jim and Palm Harbor. Jim, thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you? I'm good. Steve, how are you? Very good. Thanks so much for asking. And Walmart is the, I believe is what you're calling about. If so, tell us what you're looking at and how we can help you. I'm looking at a medium to short term trade, maybe like a swing trade it. It seems to be kind of stabilizing here at this level. And I just wondering if you thought it'd be a good place to put this pullback. I've been waiting for some kind of pullback in it. And I'm just wondering if this is good enough. So sure, sure. Okay. So great question. So Jim is looking to get into a long position inside of Walmart. And we can see here that over the last couple of days, that this is pulling back. We can see pretty wide ranging bar on a weekly chart. That's a center panel of our screen out here. And so one of the first tools that Jim and I are going to look for, we're going to hunt and peck for where support is out here. And what we can see here, Jim, is that yesterday was not really a good scene for Amazon. And what I mean by that, and this is based upon the daily timeframe chart, is that was a bullish structured profile, bullish and structured because there were more buyers lined up. There's only buyers basically at the bottom of the profile. That was 127.09. There's both buyers and sellers at the center of the box. We can see how close that is at 128.66 to the bottom. And then you've got at the top, which is where sellers are at or resistance 133.38. So Jim, I like to say there's nothing more bearish than a failed bullish pattern. Not so that this is a pattern, but failed bullish pattern from the standpoint of strong support and price gap down through it. And there was volume yesterday, pretty good volume. So then that just says, okay, where do my eyes go for the next level of support? Well, it would take a look at the bear structured weekly profile. That top of that box is 120.26. We're trading at 120.50 or so. If Walmart's going to find a bottom, even though 120.26 is the top of the weekly profile, the better potential buy would be at 117.65. That's the center of that bearish structured profile. If price closed into 120.26, one of two outcomes. The bullish outcome is that price gets back to that area where that center was. That's a bear structured 117.65. I see this pattern many times, and that's where price would find support. If price closed below 117.65, boy, Jim, now you're looking at about the 104.61 area. We're not there yet, but at least you have these numbers to pay attention to on any kind of a pullback. Now, we're trading at 120.50 right now. Let me, what the heck is going on with this chart? This is definitely not right. Let me see here if I can reload all the historical data. Any questions based upon what I've given you thus far? No, it sounds pretty good. I had a symmetry retracement to 112.15 as a potential buy point, which is fairly close, but not real close, but you had 117. I had 124 as the higher end of it, but that's when I first started looking at if it was going to pull back. At a time, of course, it was 130.30. Well, let's go with your 112 type area. And so on a daily chart, we can see here that the breakout level, so today's going to be bar number 7, Jim, of a TD9 count. And so if this is going to find a bottom with that pattern, that would say that the low would occur either Friday, Monday, or Tuesday out there. And at this stage, we can't call it even a TD9 count. Just today, this is going to be bar number 7. But the 112 area that you were talking about, I have here is the actual most recent breakout in the daily time frame being 110.94. So it gets us to the 111 against close to your 112-ish type area. And so at this stage of the game, I'd say, yeah, that would be an area where you would try to focus on and pay attention. The 117.65, and if you can get some type of bottom signal on the daily time frame, that may be a place. But because price isn't down there, we don't know what the daily charts are going to look like. It's too hard to say at this stage of the game. But yeah, lower price, I think. And today is not that day that I'm seeing as a buy for Walmart. Right. I appreciate it. I had a TD7 count down on the daily as well. Oh, great. But I know I had that right. You're doing great. You're doing great. Hey, Jim, we're about to go to a commercial. So thanks so much for calling and spending some time with us and have a terrific Thursday. You too. You bet. We'll be right back.

So this will be pretty interesting here for the next 40 minutes or so. Let's go to a couple of questions that have come in. Let's see if I can get through this. One is coming in from Dennis about the Bitcoin Trust, GBTC. So I've at least got this chart here where we can take a look at the data. And although I can't draw, use the A to B equals CD tool out here, Dennis, on this version of the software. There is an A to B equals CD to the upside that is almost complete. Maybe it's like around the 1050-ish type area. So that is the potential there inside of Bitcoin Trust is that you could see a Gartley cell pattern form. Now, what you would be looking for over the next several days here would be some type of bearish reversal candle to confirm that pattern. We don't have that today. Also, it looks like it's going to be bar number 8 of a TD-9 count. So with regard to Bitcoin, although I can't show the A and B equals CD pattern out here, you've got that pattern that could be atop. You've got a TD-9 count that is establishing itself. That could be the higher today, tomorrow, Friday, or on Monday. You see that topping signal. And then price would likely pull back into the A-ish type area out there. And that's what I see when I take a look at Bitcoin on the daily timeframe. If I go to the monthly timeframe, 1048 is going to be your significant resistance level. That's Stevie's green line for that timeframe out there. So I wouldn't anticipate that Bitcoin trust is going to get much beyond that. On the weekly timeframe, I don't really have anything out here. What I will share with you, Dennis, I'm sorry. I don't know if this is just a trade or what for you or an investment. Please, everybody listen to what I'm about to say. This may not impact you, but it may impact somebody that you do know. And that's why I want you to really take a role here. To the extent that you know anyone that uses digital currencies has an investment. Basically, you don't use them so much, but it has an investment. It's trying to take an investment in digital currencies. Please tell them to liquidate those accounts. Tell them to get out of that marketplace. I'm not trying to time the top or the bottom or anything out here. Here's what I want you to do. Oh my goodness, this says I lost my connection here. And I hope that's just for the data feed. Maybe someone in the dead could give me a thumbs up if you can actually hear me. Oh man, I'm still there. Okay, great.  And the research is I want you to go see what the IMF and the ECB are doing over in Europe. And you'll do the research. And what you will find is that they're preparing to get rid of the paper currency, the Euro, and move to a digital currency. Now, if you think, if you honestly believe that, and then you can go back and take a look at the CARES bill that we had here and take a look at what the Democrats out there, I'm not saying Democrats as, just as, you know, what they tried to push into the first version of that bill was a version of that same digital currency here in the US.  You know, the idea that this virus is being spread on cash. Folks, if there's not a wake up call to what's really going on here, give me a break. And you can fill in the adjective there before a break out there. But here's the deal. Here's the important thing. And all it is is really just governments wanting to know every penny, nickel, shekel, anything that you've got out there. And they want to be able to track it, tax it, see what you're spending money on. You want to talk about giving up rights altogether out here. But this is really the important thing. I don't know when it's going to happen. I just know that it is going to happen. I really believe that central banks are going to allow other digital currencies to live out there. OK, if that's what you really believe, if you believe in fairy tales, that would be one of them in any event. So please, trading and so forth, OK, I get it. But be really careful because that is the hot potato. Now, let's go to Orlando and speak with John. John, thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you today? Hi, Steve. How are you? Good afternoon. I'm doing well. I'm doing well. Thank you. Now, last time we spoke, you had taken a short in the S&P 500. I know you're calling about the S&P 500. Tell me what you're doing, how I can help you. OK, I'm looking at the daily. I'm looking at two different candles. One candle is on February 28th, 5.1 billion, and the high was 29.6. Is that going to be a resistance? You're going back to February 28th out here. So the real resistance. Sure. The real resistance level. 5.1 billion in volume that people getting out. Sure. I understand that. So you're looking at that from a volume standpoint. What I'd like to share with you is the real resistance level inside of the S&P 500 for its daily timeframe. And for me, John, that real resistance level is the high from March the 6th. I don't just pick out that date for any reason. I pick out that date and that high because that represents the last time that price broke down using the TD9 count pattern out there. And it's a superb tool for being able to objectively identify support or resistance. In this case here, it's resistance. And you can see it on my chart. Now what the S&P 500 has been doing, it's made one to one A to B equals CD and got just slightly above that. As we speak right now, John, we've got a bear sesh candle. And so today's candle, the bear structure of the candle, if this is what it looks like at four o'clock, this would be the confirmation of a Gartley cell pattern out here in the A to B equals CD lore, the way that I use it. The way that I use it says we have to wait for buyers and sellers to communicate to us what their intention is. And that's why we take a look at Japanese candlesticks at the completion of a pattern. Now what we can also see on the S&P 500 is that my red line has turned green. It did that yesterday. And what that means, John, is that means that the price oscillator has reached the zero threshold level. Now the price oscillator is nothing more than taking a look at the difference between the 19 and the 39-day exponential moving average. When that gets to zero, when that threshold gets to zero, the phenomena that occurs is that we see price over the coming sessions. I don't know how many, John, but over the coming sessions we see my line, which has now turned green and price, catch up to each other. If price were to, however that test, it could be price moving sideways, line going up, price moving down, whatever that test is. If there's a test in rejection, that would be the bullish case because my oscillator on change line is green and green is letting us know that the price oscillator is now at zero or just slightly above zero. And if price tests that and bounces off of that, we would then have a rising price oscillator above zero. And that would be bullish. Now what that would also mean to me is that would be bullish and that price would try to run up into resistance, $29.85. So hang on through this break, because I want to be able to make sure I have answered your questions here. But right now the S&P is trading between support, which is $2,800 and really resistance, which is $2,985. Steve Rhodes with TF&M, we're right back to finish up the questions for John in Orlando.

Get your copy of The Art of Timing the Trade Charts today by visiting TFNN.com John, before I come back to you, John, because here I can show you the tool in live action out here and why these understanding of the TD9 account support and resistance levels are really, really critical. And that's each of the 30-minute timeframes right now have pulled back to their breakout level. So we're gonna learn a lot probably over the course of the next couple of hours out here whether this move to the downside is anything more than just a pullback to a short-term support level. And so if we take a look at the NQ where it had most recently broken out was 89.2275, no swing point, no nothing out there, but it was the beginning of those nine successive, nine successive closes. Actually it wasn't the beginning, it was the low of that pattern where we saw nine consecutive closes where each close was above the close for bars earlier on the 30-minute time frame and provided us with a nice level of support. So the area to watch there is gonna be on a short-term basis is 89.22 out there for the NQ. I'll give you a feel on the ES because once you break one level and on the ES that level is 28.8175 and the price got down to maybe within a tick or two and has bounced off of that level. But if we do see two closes below 28.8175, John, then the next area is gonna be 28.60 where price will try to find support. So back to the S&P 500, what other questions do you have or did that answer your question about? Yeah, you answered the top side. I have a question on the bottom here on March 23. The low, and it was high volume low. Does that have to be tested on the S&P? It's 22.96? Yeah, or it's not, sorry, 21.92. Well, here's how you'll be able to answer that question. So I'll let the chart patterns answer that for you. Just like you and I took a look at where the TD9 count breakdown level was, 29.8593, the breakout level, because it was a TD9 count to the upside that formed, is 25.7457. Let's say that today is the confirmation of a Gartley sell pattern. We know that the oscillator change line changed from red to green, so we know that price and that line should catch up to each other. If price closes below that line, that tells us that price wants to continue to move lower. And inside the S&P 500, that level of support would be 25.7457. If the S&P 500 closes below that level, John, then that's telling you that price wants to go back and target those march lows. So as opposed to just give you a definitive answer, let the, here, what we have is we have very objective levels to watch to then allow the market, the chart, to communicate to us what its intention is. Does that make sense? Yes, yes. So it's kind of a step-by-step you got to take. It's really the only thing that we can do is step-by-step and try to stay inside your time frame because this is nothing more every market. So it doesn't matter, even though you and I are looking at a chart for the S&P 500, this could be a currency pair. This could be corn. This could be wheat. This could be anything. We're just simply going to use the same tools for that time frame. And it's all about clearly identifying levels of support or resistance that we have confidence in, that have absolute meaning out there, that are standard, that way every single trader that's listening to this show here can use these exact same tools and then it'll assist you for the time frame that you're trading with what the market is trying to communicate to us. A blank chart, it becomes very, very difficult, but we start decorating it with these tools and this pattern out here is so outstanding that being able to help us identify support or resistance and so then it just makes it really one step at a time, one step at a time out here. Just because it's a Gartley sell pattern that could be forming today, what the sellers only have the right to do is go down and try and test support. It's as they try to test those levels of support that tell us whether or not that was some kind of a major top or not out there, okay? Okay, thank you, Steve.  Thanks for calling. That was John in Orlando. Let me take a quick peek here, folks. See if I've got any other questions. A couple of them have come in. The first one coming in for Mimi and Mimi wants to take a look at ticker symbol COP. I think that's ConocoPhillips, but let's go see what that is. Yeah, it's ConocoPhillips and it looks like an A to B equal CD pattern maybe underway here. Let's go ahead and mark this in here for Mimi. The A point is the low from March the 17th. The B point is going to be this high that failed to clear the top of its daily profile. That was on April the 9th and it's been for about three or four days out here to create that C point, the low of April 16th. Come on, grab it. Come on. Mimi's waiting. There we go. So Mimi, right now it looks like there's a A to B equal CD that gives you a one-to-one price projection of 1714. Now, the B point was at 3798. That's April 9th. 14 million shares. Yesterday, when price gapped up and moved higher was slightly lighter volume, 13 million shares. So it's not like we've got a confirmed A to B equal CD and that sometimes should make us say, hmm, something to think about, plus you're inside the gap out there. So Mimi, your question was, comment on COP going long. If you're looking to enter the trade, now is not the time. And the reason why now is not the time, even if the A to B equal CD pattern plays out here on the daily timeframe, you're going to see that today is going to be the bar following bar number nine. And oftentimes, and I'm not saying this is going to, but if this is going to identify the top, today's high is it. Now, we take a look at the TD nine count and we look at the bottom that formed here in Conoco Phillips. The bottom was on the day of March 18th. That was the bar following bar nine of that TD nine count pattern that identified the low. Now, on the very next trading session out there, you had the Rosemont-Demindicator bottom that formed with regard to, when that bull sash candle formed. So if you're long, you can certainly stay long and I'm not telling you to exit. I'm sharing with you that this could be forming a top out here and you don't have confirmed volume for the A to B equal CD to the upside and so you'd want to make sure that you've got some kind of trailing stuff. Conoco Phillips over the last 10 trading sessions has been $2.78. And the resistance, by the way, out here is 48.64. Even though I gave you the A to B equal CD, that is where price had broken down. So what you need to do and your stop should likely be, well, you can do whatever you want with your stop, but ordinarily, if you're trying to stay in the stock for the longer term, your stop would be $2.78 times 1.272 or 1.618, whatever that value is, less today's close, that's what you would look at for a stop out there. Now once you get that math, then you can figure out that's your risk. Your reward would be price gets up to 48.64, which you know is a clear resistance level and then you can make the determination whether it is worth it to continue to stay inside the trade or maybe tighten up your stop a little differently out there. Let's go Philips out here. It looks pretty good, but you've got to be a bit concerned about the daily session out there and Mimi, if today's high, there's a close above today's high tomorrow, then that pattern will have failed and likely we're going to take a look at that A to B CD completion in that 47-ish area or wherever their resistance level was that I gave you, which I believe is 48.64. Steve Roach with TFN will be right back. In the next segment, the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you.

We're very close to the end of the trunk on a high-speed line out here. And everybody on this thing is just creating some problems. So hopefully this comes back up and I think you can hear myself. So we're good there. But actually, it's not about everything that happens for us, right? So let's take a look at this next question. This is what I mean by it. This is coming in from Joe. Joe says, oh Steve, love your show. If you were three years old and had X to invest in the market, what would you do to start? And Joe says he's a began investor out there. So I appreciate the question, Joe. The question is, goes on to say, what would you do to start? Would you buy some long-term bulls while some stocks are on sale? I keep waiting for this big dip to buy, but those loans we saw in March may never come again. When should I hop on stock like Amazon right now before the earnings? Thanks for your help. So we're going to definitely keep you away from buying Amazon at the top. Not that it can't go higher out there, but I want to come back to first your question. I just want to share with you history because it's so important to learn from history in my opinion, that is. Let's take a look at what the hope we can do with that. I'll just simply start here. I'll put this together during the break when I saw this question. We'll see how good I am putting together this quick little presentation. What can we learn from history? Joe, this is just for you. Everybody else, don't listen. What are the things that we can learn are the Gertley buy and sell patterns. This was created by H.M. Gertley back in 1935, so after during the Great Depression out there, he sold this book for 1500 bucks, sold a thousand copies of that. Think about that. The cost of a new Ford back then, a new Ford was 500 bucks. So worth basically three cars out there. So it's really valuable. And 222 of his book, that's where we come up with the term the Gertley 222. And it's this panel over here on the right. Even though, Joe, this may look like it may look like you don't even know what that I'm talking about. That's okay. Just follow me historically here. But it was this pattern here back in 1935 where we have the first A to B equal CD pattern. I want you to look at number B out here. Diagram B. And you'll see that here's a long bull run, which is what we've been through. A big pullback out there, which is what we also were through. Consider this pullback here to be the March low. Consider yourself that what we're living in right now is very similar, not exactly the same, but similar to the Great Depression. And we're going to be depressed for years, folks out here. We are going to be depressed about what we just allowed our government and our medical people to actually do. But let's just stay here with this.  But here, what H.M. Gertley did was he created that A to B equal CD pattern and said sell the first Gertley in a bear market. Okay. Here's the page out of his book where he's taking a look at his weekly chart here. But what I've done is I've got the historical data. You can see the A to B equal CD pattern. But here we can take a look at it specifically. So here's that same weekly chart going back to 1929, nice hammer candle out there also that formed on a weekly basis that formed at the initial bottom for 1929. And then we saw for like about 21 bars out here, in case we charted with 21 weeks before we saw the Gertley cell. Here's the Gertley cell, the bearish and golfing candle. Now, if we take a look at what transpired from that Gertley cell, and this is what I really want you to focus on, Joe, as there are many people probably back in 1929 that feel the same way. Say, man, look at that low. We may never see that low again out there. And I'm not going to say here to guarantee you that this pattern is going to repeat. I don't have to because that would be subjective. I'm not going to give you subjective information. I'm not going to do that. I want you to learn from history. Now, I don't want to rewrite the history books. But what I am doing is I'm sharing with you the history book. And likely folks back there in 1929 or towards 1930 were thinking, you know, man, I may never see that low again. But thankfully because of H.M. Gertley who identified this pattern, we know what to pay attention to. When John and Orlando and I were talking, we were talking about the Gertley cell pattern out there for the daily time frame. Now, here we can see that the market didn't bottom until 1932. So the question is, well, what was the market doing in 1932 that form that bottom Joe? Glad you asked that question. Now what we can see here is we just simply go take a look at so yesterday we had the first quarter GDP, which was minus 4.2% out there. We're back down to the 2009 level of GDP. So at the same time that the stock market was bottoming in 1932, we also saw GDP bottom. So my question for you and everybody else out there is, do you think that GDP is bottomed? Do you think it's bottomed? If we go take a look at it, it's just not just 1932. If you take a look at the 2009 bottom, now I don't have the GDP level on this chart, but if I did show you it, the GDP percentage is down towards, it's down at the minus 4%. You can see where it was back in 2009. But you can see the GDP low along with the 2009 bottom. And then you can see 1970s low and 1974s low in 1982s low. You can see it in 2002. You can see it in 1991. You kind of get the gist here. Objectively, chart patterns out here are saying, well, if we haven't gotten a gross domestic product bottom here in the U.S., why should we believe that March was the low? Secondly, tomorrow I believe we get unemployment numbers, right? We get the weekly unemployment, the weekly unemployment numbers out here. And here, if we just simply go back into the 1970s out here and we just track the direction of the stock market, that's the upper chart, and we track unemployment out here, you'll see the direct correlation. If unemployment is rising, the stock market is moving down. If unemployment is moving up, the stock market is moving up. You can just see the pattern that is out here. And some people out here that had said, and I heard this early on, and this is why I really wanted to bring it to subscribers' attention, to your attention, because maybe you've heard this too. A lot of people were starting to correlate the corona crash with the 1987 crash. But you can take a look at the blip, just a blip with regard to a rise in unemployment in 1987. You compare that to where we're at now. You cannot compare the 87 crash to where we are at right now. So here is the way.  What a wonderful time to be coming into the market. And what I'd really rather you do out here is I'd really rather you wait for that next solid bottom. That next solid bottom. And continue to listen to the show or spend some time maybe learning these charting patterns out here. But don't get caught up in the emotional euphora that can be out here. And look, I could be dead wrong. I could absolutely be dead wrong. But I'm just going to present the information to you. If you were my son or daughter, I would be giving them this exact same information. You've got to wait. There's going to be another low. There's going to be another low. We're only dealing with the health stuff. Wait till we start dealing with the economic stuff. Steve Rhodes with TFNM will be right back.

So let's take a look at both those. One was inside the tiger's den looking for where's the support level inside of gold. So here's what we know about the daily contract right now for gold. It has confirmed TD nine count topping that it was bar number eight. As we speak right now, gold is trading below support for its daily time frame. That would be the bottom of its profile and that is 17 0 6 60. Now we have seen this play before. We've seen gold close below support and then the very next session get back above it close below it get back above it. This is where really the Stevie's two bar rule comes as a matter whether what time frame it is but two bars below support. I give you a really good indication, not a guarantee but a really good indication that in fact it has broken through support. So if tomorrow if today we see a close below 17 0 6 60 and tomorrow another close below 17 0 6 60 support is going to be 15 95 20 out there. That's where price would head back to now. There's a pretty good chance that that is really what is unfolding if I put up the five hour timeframe chart. Well I can't tell you whether it is or it isn't right. We have to let this play out. But if you take a look at the five hour timeframe we haven't seen a close below a five hour breakout level. Since gold made its run topside off of the March 19th low price right now is pulling right back into that support area now 2 p.m. and for less than less than five minutes 16 95 40 is the number we're trading 16 93 20. But if you get that second bar close today this afternoon below 16 95 40 that might be an early indication that gold is ready to move back into that 15 95 level out there. So that's what I see when I take a look at Goldilocks. Now if we go take a look at Harmony Gold ticker symbol there is H M Y. The question is where do we see a good longer term entry point inside of Harmony. So let's pull over Harmony Gold and see what it is that we see out here. We can see that price really struggling at the resistance area of 371 a potential buy area would be 329 but you're asking for a much longer term level and I would have to say that's maybe in the 317 ish type area but here's what I recommend that you do Jared. Let's wait to see how gold trades tomorrow maybe right back to me just to remind me tomorrow let's take look at Gold and Harmony as well. Hey folks thanks so much for being here. Stay tuned two more great hours so by the way I'm going to be doing one of those hours three to four but you get your favorite polar bear David White he's up next


So, let's get this founded. It's a group to talk about this group called Interpreterative Relation, and it's a coalition with a protest in the middle of this. So, first of all, about me, my name is Christo Polic. I'm from Spain, a lot of people came down from Spain. And, well, I'm a QA in January with a TTF as is September 2016, so five more programs are left. And this is from an email that you wanted to send me, and normally I'm in the office QA. And I've been working on this group for the last couple of months now. So, basically what it is, it's a set of scripts you use to generate PDF files from different office suites. And then you compare those PDF files to see how different they are. And basically you range those differences in a range from zero to five. So, there are four kinds of comparisons. We compare those PDF files with vertical alignment, horizontal alignment, side-by-side comparison and page overlay. And basically you can use it with any office suite which supports command line. So, you can use it with Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, as well as from others. So, this tool was developed, or is it still developed by Miloš Srami? Is it correct? She's Slovak. And he first presented it at the Blackfest in 2011 in Berlin. Later on he presented it in the LibreOffice conference in 2013 in Milano. And this year he presented it in the LibreOffice conference. So, I attended this conference and, well, it was the first time I knew about this tool. So, I talked to him about it and we thought about using it in LibreOffice to find comparisons in the documents. So, here you can have the code. You can find it here in GitHub. This is Miloš's repository. And here you can also see his presentation in Bruno. So, basically when I talked to him in Bruno, we thought it could be a good idea to use it in Master Branch. So, we could find interoperability regressions as soon as possible. Then the idea is to use as many files as possible. And then as many of the parts we have in Baxila are related to Microsoft Office and the performance they use. We thought that the best would be to compare it against Microsoft Office. But we could use any other office to compare it. So, some numbers from Baxila. We have, well, I use basically the keyword regression and the keyword, we have some keywords in Baxila. I use this regression keyword and filter keyword and we have right now 40 open regressions out of 69. 76.px regressions out of 155. And for RTF, we have 18 regressions out of 176. So, the numbers say that we can use it correctly. Then I decided working on this tool, and well, I found some bugs in it, so I just fixed them. Then I also add support for in-press documents. And then I added the possibility to have different output files because what Miller did was just to, you could use different input files, but there was only one output file. So, now it's possible to have different output files. And now I move it into a virtual machine. This is the virtual machine we are using. So, now it's possible to, because firstly I was using it locally, so my memory was a limit, so it was complicated, but now we have a virtual machine with 100 gigabytes. So, we have plenty of space to use this tool. And here you can find my code. So, this is, nowadays these are the formats we are testing. So, .gigs, .rdf, and .ppth, and .ppth. And, yeah, basically in order to get the files, I'm using a script, I think, colon deep, and probably Marcus, and yeah, this script. So, basically we are just getting the files from all these backtruggers. So, yeah, we have many documents available. So, basically how this tool works. We have this batch of documents here. And, let's say these documents are the input format, which is .gigs and .rtf. So, basically what we do is we convert it with library of this to PDF. So, we see how it's imported into library of this. And also we define the output format, which is .gigs and .rtf. So, then we convert it with library of this to those formats as well. And then from those formats we open them in Microsoft Office, because it's the tool we want to compare it to. And then finally we get each PDF for each format. And then on the other side, the same file, we open it with Microsoft Office, and then we generate the PDF. And eventually we compare all these PDFs against this one. So, we use the horizontal alignment comparison, the vertical comparison, side by side, and the overlay page comparison. So, in total we have four, yes, four numbers to compare all these PDFs. So, basically things we are testing with this tool, well, the first one, we test library of this import, here. Then we test the library of this import. So, all this part is testing library of this import. We also have test library of this import, because probably let's say we find a problem here in the comparison, but then when we test that file in library of this, we see it's correct. So, then we export it and we see that the problem is in the PDF export. So, we are also testing that. We also, as we are using timeouts, we are also finding, well, I could find, while testing the tool, I found some import and export time problems, regression. I could also find that sometimes, let's say we generate a dog file and then we try to open it in Microsoft, hopefully, but then we have a corruption problem. So, then that's something we are also testing with this tool. And, yeah, eventually, we are also testing the availability of the relations, which is the goal of this tool. So, I'm going to show you an example of how this tool looks like. So, basically, once we run the script, in the end we have this spreadsheet. So, basically, in here, we have the import part and in here we have the export part. So, here, this is something I did locally. So, right now I tested with 64 documents and it found nine regressions. So, let's see an example here. And I used this bit, which I think is the first comment of LibreOffice 5.2, sorry. And I also used a master build, a commit, it's a bit like it locally. So, for instance, let's take a look at this file. So, here we have the comparison side by side. This is Microsoft Office and this is LibreOffice 5.2, which is correct. On the other side, if we see this one, we see Microsoft Office and here we have master. So, we see that between this and LibreOffice 2 and LibreOffice master, something where our regression was introduced here. So, this is the side by side comparison. We can also have this one. Yeah, this is the overlay comparison and here is the horizontal comparison. Finally, this is the vertical comparison. So, you can see that this number is minus 2. It means that something was introduced here, kind of regression. Sometimes, it's not a regression, you just check it and you see that when they look just similar, they don't see much difference. But you can also use it to see improvements. I don't know. Here you have this one. This was in LibreOffice 5.2. So, I think this one, the ballots were incorrect. But here if we check it with LibreOffice master, they are correct. So, yeah, we have an improvement here. And same for round trip documents. So, let's say the final regression, like this one. This is the same one as before, but this one for instance. Yeah, we see that. Well, that's different. But for instance, we see that here, we have an empty page. And in LibreOffice... Where was it? No, sorry. So, I can find it now. Well, basically, it says that the number one is null, it says that a regression might be introduced here. So, you just need to check it and then... Well, it's an easy way to find interoperability regression here. So, yeah, that's all. Any questions? What tool do you use to generate PDF from Microsoft Office? Yeah, so, we are using Linux. We are using Y. Microsoft Office running under Y. And there is also another tool. Well, you have to integrate it into the Office directory. And it's called Office Convert.x or something like that. So then it allows you to convert files to PDF. And yeah, right now I'm using Microsoft Office 2010. But I think Wine was released a couple of days ago. And I think it has support for Microsoft Office 2013. So, probably I'm going to test it and see if there are differences between one or the other. What is the speed of testing? The speed of... Well, it takes some time. Because, yeah, let's say if I use 1,000 documents, it takes about... The first time, it takes about a couple of days. Then next time, because you already have... But what we do here is, okay, we compare it. Let's say I want to test master right now. So I use a previous version as a comparison. And now I have the comparisons in a week or after sometime I want to test it again. So I have a ready master. So I just need to generate this PDF and all the files for the new master. So then it's half of the time. So the first time you run it, so let's say for 1,000 of documents, it takes a couple of days. Then it's one day. But the idea is to have more documents than 1,000 of them. Then the point is, in this case, for instance, if we are generating documents and PDF output files, then you need three times the time of comparison there. So if you use a co-interface, it's a Microsoft Office, then you can keep work running and then load the same documents in your search engine. So you could use the co-interface to talk to Microsoft Office? Yeah, we are using it. Okay. Then you can keep it running. So maybe you're already doing that. Well, the thing that takes more time is the comparison of the PDF. In fact, we are limiting the comparison to five pages. Because let's say we have a document of a hundred pages, we are limiting it. Because it's doing horizontal comparison, vertical and so on and so forth. So it's quite heavy. Is comparison of the page of the page either your own code or... It's Milo's code. It's not your general library. No. He did it and well, in this repository you can find it. You can find everything. And basically in my repository, what I did is to adapt that code to what the LibreOffice needs. What we need to do. Could you distribute the comparison? Could you distribute? Can you distribute the comparison? If it's a heavy issue or both, maybe we can spread that across the whole machine. Well, right now, as we are limiting the comparison to five pages, it's not that heavy at all. So in comparison, the worst scenario may be three minutes for this comparison. So we have... You say 1,000 a day, we do the crash testing and we run like maybe something 1,000 a day. Yes. It takes a lot of time to do each test. It's like 10 times, 15 times what we normally do for the export crusher. We do all the export and run through it and talk about it. So the comparison part is both five and across five times. Based on the number you said. So we should maybe distribute the comparison to the permit on multiple machines. Yes. It looks like we could do that in a reasonable amount of time when we have backstages. Yes. We could experience each other's life. You see the difference of the PDF and if you look in the this week editor you don't have the difference. I see the differences in the PDF but then I don't see it in LibreOffice for instance. There are some false positives as well. How large is the portion of all the views which comes from the PDF? I found just one. So it's... 1,000. Let's say 1,000. Let's get out. In LibreOffice the code... the code is not as as much as dog or dog filter and things like that. There are more things going on in the dog filter dog exporter and so on. So it's more common to find relationships in dog filter in porous porous and so on than in PDF exporter. We also plan to use it to find the questions in ODF. But we need a reference that we know is... although we are testing here against Microsoft Office and sometimes it's not correct.


What's happening guys, today I have a very special video for you, I got Jay on the channel who is somebody who just got into digital marketing about six months ago. So basically Jay bounced around to a bunch of different jobs and a lot of them he didn't like, a lot of them were dead end, tried to go to college but decided it wasn't for him. And then during the pandemic, unfortunately he ended up getting laid off. Finally he stumbled upon digital marketing and he never looked back. And he very quickly got a phenomenal job offer where he's actually working with Microsoft. And I asked Jay a bunch of questions that people actually recommended that I asked people in interviews down in the comments below. So if you have any other questions, go ahead, put them in the comments below. There's a good chance that either I will respond to them, maybe Jay will jump on to respond to them or maybe I'll just ask them in future videos. So go ahead, gently tap that like button and let's jump right into this one. What's happening guys, welcome back to the channel. Today I have another guest on the channel, very special guest, I got Jay to come on. He is a digital marketer, he lives in New York and he has a really cool story and we're gonna go over that. So I'm super excited to ask him questions. So thank you Jay for coming on the channel. I really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. All right, so let's go ahead and get into it.  Just kind of give a background of maybe your educational experience as well as like different jobs that you worked at. Yeah, so yes, I had, I think my 20s were my last year for me. Definitely I was trying to find myself and it was so many, I think trials and tribulations that I had during my 20s, trying to find something like try to find something that will well sue for me as well. And yes, I think when I started in college, definitely I was, you know, I think I had a passion for music which I was trying to do as a production. And I think I saw the competitive fitness as well. It was, you know, it was hard to get into and I think that kind of killed the art in the creativeness for me. And I think Ava was telling me, you know, I think you should just find a job that actually will pay you well. And I kind of took that with me. So ever since that, I've been really miserable with, you know, what a lot of things, you know, with the jobs that I had and also the careers that I was trying to get there from there, actually end up trying to be a medical assistant. And then I checked in a salary, how much are you gonna make? And I'm like, 30K, I'm like, that's not, you know, I don't think it's worth it for two years just to make that have that salary. I was not happy. I think I wasn't happy about the career I was taking. I think I started seeing a lot of my friends from there. Like I started seeing people already graduated the four years and I started seeing like they wasn't trying to get jobs. There was a debt. And I think that kind of sparked for me that I had, I just, I just stopped, honestly. I stopped going to college. And then that's when I started having these debt and jobs. Then also I became a dental assistant as well. That's when I knew I was not built for healthcare. I was like, no, I'm not. I didn't like healthcare at all. I had to deal with, it was so stressful as well.  Then, you know, I just looked, I'm like, no. I just had to stop. I actually stopped going. I just stopped going, honestly. I was just like, no, I can't do this no more. I remember when I discovered digital marketing during that time, I was going through Facebook. I was late at night. I mean, I'm a guy that always stays late at night. But I was going through Facebook and I stepped my feet. And it was a, I knew this girl, she was from my high school. And she posted a video saying that she was proud of her husband and this and that cause she was my high school. And I think I told Sepha, his name is Nicholas Battle. And he posted a, it was a 46 minute video. And I saw the whole thing. And he talked about digital marketing. This is me opportunity at a college degree or anything like that. And he also went to the, I actually went to the similar path as me because he worked in Metro PCS while I also worked in AT&T. So I kind of could relate. I was like, okay, I got inspired. I got really inspired by that. I really started to just, the next morning I started just researching digital art cause I never heard of digital marketing. I never heard of SEO. I never heard of PPC, social media. Like, I mean, of course social media but social media, you know, paid search as well for that email marketing. I was like, cause honestly I had a bad, how can I say this? I had a bitter taste of marketing because I always thought of marketing as like a multi-level marketing.  Let's meet up. And but when I go over there, it's like a multi, you know, marketing scheme, whatever that they try to put me in there. So I had a bitter taste of marketing. And when I heard, you know what I'm like, oh no, I don't know. But let me just, is that like a scheme? Is that like a pyramid scheme or something like that? Or a scam? So I was really iffy about it at first because I had a sour taste of marketing. But once I started researching and reading the books, looking on YouTube as well. And then I started looking at his sets testimonials as well. And I'm like, honestly, I was like that for three months. For three months, just looking at the testimonial, just looking at it, researching, trying to make sure that I'm not gonna get scammed. That's my biggest thing. Hey, that is good. That is good. I always tell everyone and I mentioned it. It's good to be skeptical, right? It's good, you know, there's lots of claims out there on the internet. The thing about Seth's course and the reason that I partnered with him is because if you look on his LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, he literally has thousands of reviews and testimonials, right? And a lot of these people, you could watch their video testimonials, you can watch their full YouTube videos. A lot of the people you can just look up on LinkedIn, right? That's their full name right there. You can look them up, you can add them, you can ask them questions, right? So it's just an abundance of evidence that he's getting people these amazing results that he is. Like it's overwhelming evidence, there's literally no argument even that he's not getting the results. But absolutely, you should be skeptical when you hear this. You should go and look this up and look into that information for sure. Now, one thing I wanted to really quickly ask you before we go on is you mentioned that you did a little bit of liberal arts, you went to college. So I think you also mentioned that it didn't end up costing you very much, but you decided against that route. But what would you just say overall when it comes to like a college degree in terms of like how much they typically cost, how much people are going into debt and whether they're worth it or not? Honestly, I always tell this to people, you have to research what the career you're in again. Because I think for me, you know, okay, it's really, if you're gonna become a doctor or any of that, of course you need to go to college. But I always tell them, I feel like you should go to another country for that.  I have so many friends of mine that are just 60, 70 to 80 K. And that's sad, honestly, because mind you, a lot of my friends are came by house or anything like that because they're covered in debt. And I don't know, but I think for me it just, I think I kind of dodged a bullet for me to go to a four year college because I was thinking about going to a four year college. And I don't know, I think that stopped me. I just basically, I just, I had, I think I kind of let go especially my parents were thinking of me. So I just like, no, I don't care what they think about me no more. I'm trying to do what I'm gonna do, but I had, I knew I was gonna find something that was gonna cross in my path and make myself because I was like, I'm not gonna make 30 K a year or 25. I can't do that. And on top of that, I had a son with me. So, you know, yeah, I had a son with me. And so it was really challenging for me as well for that. You know, I always tell people honestly, we have a free university university, which is YouTube. And, you know, you and me or any other different platforms that we have out there.    But I always, I tell everybody honestly, I think you should be in the tech war right now because it's a booming industry, you know, I don't think you need a college degree at the moment right now, because a lot of these tech industries don't, you don't need them. A lot of careers you don't, yeah. So many careers you don't need a college degree. You can definitely get into them with just a portfolio of experience and you can create your own experience like Seth teaches in his course. Exactly. So it took you like three months or so to kind of get into, to make the decision to buy the course.  You looked at all the evidence. You decided to buy the course. And let me know how, how was the course exactly? Like just give your kind of like maybe a little overview of what the course entails and how what your experience was like with it. Yes, of course. So I bought my, I bought the course, right? I think around 2019, around there, I'm not mistaken. That's when I started, you know, I think there's a time when I was working in AT&T, I was still in AT&T here.  Actually, I have it here. That I still have it with me to this day since 2019. And these are all my notes that I've been having here. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I still have it with me, regardless. I think it's useless up because school is always updating. But yeah, but yeah. So yeah, honestly, I've been studying, I've been hitting the, I've been hitting the books. I've been looking at these videos. I've been just repeating the videos all over and over again. I also checked on YouTube. And then this is the time when there was a new management in AT&T coming along. And they fired basically everybody there, including myself. I couldn't stay focused on what I had to do. So I had to look for another job. So I took that, you know, I had to put that away for now for a bit just to find another job because I think that took like a three, four months hiatus, you know, because I had to find a job. And that's why I lined into Amazon. When the pandemic came, I was like, that's it. I'm not coming back. I'm not doing these jobs no more. Not doing this and I have time because we're in the pandemic and that's when I went all in on digital marketing. And that's when I took an internship actually and internship helped me out tremendously. Yeah. Okay, got it. So you, from when you started really taking it seriously to when you got the internship, was it a paid internship? No. Okay, okay. Got it. So when you started taking it seriously to when you landed your first job offer, how long was that? It took me 10 months. 10 months, okay. Got you, okay. 10 months, yeah, definitely. That's pretty good, especially since at the time like everybody was getting laid off, like there was a huge issues in the economy and stuff. So that's actually really good. And then, yeah, I think like in three days they called me and there was, I was accepted, they gave me an offer letter for 60K. And- Whoa, 60K, your first job. 60K. Holy cow. First job, 60K. I couldn't believe it. When I sold the offer letter, 60K, yeah.  You know, I'm like, wow, like everything started coming into me, you know. So like, it was just so overwhelming for me. I was like, wow, like, you know, I have a work with Microsoft, you know, as my client and then on top of getting paid as much. And they saw, you know, they was really welcoming me as well too. They, it was a, I have an awesome team. And I think from there, that's when I started learning a lot more. I started learning about billing, I started learning about planning, learning how to talk to clients, learning how to write reports. Because I mean, I was, I'm used to doing the optimization for different campaigns and, you know, these like that, but, and they gave me like a budget of 200K just for that budget too. They gave me two accounts. And to me, it was crazy because I was working in Microsoft teams, you know, so I had to like actually, you know, play with that account as well. So yeah, honestly, it was so much. Everything was all coming at me and I was just like, okay. So, so just to kind of clarify things a little bit. So one of your main complaints with the former jobs that you had was basically like the work-life balance and just kind of like your job satisfaction in general. Like you weren't very satisfied with the jobs. And then so you get this new job that not only pays really well, but talk a little bit more about like what, did it have much better work-life balance and job satisfaction compared to the past jobs that you had? Definitely a hundred percent. A hundred percent, my work-life balance got way better. It's not like the other jobs that is really cutthroat and everything, you know, it's really the other jobs that I had, they want to hit your quotas, they want to do this. But if for me and my team and then so honestly, it was completely different. A lot of the people here, they care about your career. They want to see you develop. They want you to be knowledgeable in this sense. And they also open for you to expand different careers. Like if you want to be an SEO, sure, of course, we'll teach you SEO. They'll take the time to teach you that as well. The people there was, the people that worked out really awesome with me and they also pay well.  It's a whole 360, I mean, 360 for me honestly, with the other jobs that I had honestly. And I think for me, the most important was the work-life balance. I think the work-life balance for me is important for me honestly, because now I have time for my kids. Now I take my sons to soccer practice and, you know. Would you say it's really difficult to learn or is it just something that kind of takes time? You just have to sort of get used to it? It takes time. I will say to people, it takes time, you just have to really, what I do honestly, I love the recordings. Usually when they have a training video, they record. So I will actually emulate that what they're doing and then little by little, you start getting the hang of it. Like for example, like when I, I didn't know how to do billing. Billing was completely different. I don't know if, I don't know if you're at Prisma and you know, I think those are like the billing stuff that we had to do jot down numbers. So I had to learn things like that. I also had to learn some new formulas of Excel. So I'm like, okay, you know, so I'll just, I think it takes practice, honestly. It's all about practice. And then even my manager told me like, honestly, we learned by FNF. That's it. He actually told me and he's like, and that's how I learned to as well. So he was understanding.  Gotcha. And I was surprised, I was surprised by his approach when he told me that. And I was like, wow. And, you know, he's the type of person that actually cares about his employees. That's where you learn the most, honestly, is making mistakes really, like just about any area of life I'd say, that's where you learn the most. I just wanted to quickly ask you, just overall on the course, was it worth it? Worth it 100%. Definitely 100% worth it. I told Seth, I think Seth many times as well. I'm trying to do bigger things now, honestly. I told Seth because it was a video that he put out that he's in Thailand, you know, and I want to do that. He's traveling all over the world. He can live wherever he wants though. Yeah, I love it. I love it. He's living his life, he's living his best life. Exactly, exactly. I told Seth about that. And I told Seth, hey, look, I think my main, the next step for me is, because I'm planning to live in another country. I just wanted to point out, it's kind of rare that people want to have that lifestyle. I also love that lifestyle.  That's what I'm doing right now as well. So for the people who also like that lifestyle, one thing that is really awesome is like, if you make like, let's say 60K a year in the US, that's a good salary. But if you're making that in another country, like Thailand, Philippines, these other countries, that's like making almost, that's like making 500K a year. That's like making a million dollars a year sometimes. It is, it is, yeah. Cause your money goes so much further when you live in these other countries. So if you're open to that kind of lifestyle, if you're open to traveling, going around the world, I know a lot of people aren't because you're away from your family and stuff like that. But if you're open to that kind of lifestyle, a 60K a year job, you live like a king or a queen. Like you live like royalty, 56 a year. It's insane. So I would just want to ask you, to somebody who is on the fence, they're either, they're thinking about maybe doing digital marketing or maybe they've decided to do digital marketing, but they're not sure whether they should do Seth's course or go to college or do a bootcamp or whether Seth's course is worth it or not. What would you say to somebody who's in that situation? Honestly, like I did before, I would say to have time to research. I'm not trying to be biased here, but what I did, I was like, let me not look into Seth's videos no more. Let me just look into YouTube instead, which is not going to be biased. I will say honestly, if you want to start off, just honestly create a little website and play around with it, try to do some PPC work and if you like it or not. So dip your toes in there to see if you like it, try to do content creation with SEO. And if you don't like it, then forget it. You know what I mean? Just don't go for it. For me, I will say just talk to people, talk to a board, have testimonies as well. That is awesome, man. That is so awesome. Well, hey, thank you so much for coming on the channel and telling your story, really inspiring story. I think a ton of people are going to love to hear this and yeah, thanks so much for coming on. I really appreciate it. No, no problem, Shayna. I really appreciate your time, man. Really.

Hey there, and welcome to Learn WordPress. In this tutorial, you'll be learning how to leverage the WordPress user roles and capability system. After a brief introduction to the default WordPress roles and capabilities, how they are created and managed, and how to assign them to users, you will learn how to add capabilities to an existing role, and also how to create a new user role and add capabilities to it. The WordPress user roles and capabilities system is a powerful tool for managing access to your site. It allows for user roles with specific capabilities, and you can then assign those roles to users. This allows you to create a hierarchy of users, with some users having more access than others. WordPress comes with several default user roles, namely administrator, editor, author, contributor, and subscriber. There is one additional role, but this is only available in multi-site installations, and that's the super admin role. Each of these roles has a default set of capabilities, which are the things that the user can do in a WordPress site. For example, the administrator role has the capability to activate plugins, while the subscriber role does not. When a new user is created in the WordPress dashboard, they are assigned the subscriber role by default. You can change this by assigning a different role. Once assigned to that role, the user will have the capabilities that are associated with that role. You can read up on the full list of default user roles and capabilities in the official WordPress documentation. The WordPress user roles and capabilities system is stored in the database during the WordPress installation process. The roles and capabilities are stored as a serializer array, as site options in the options table, in the user roles option. The prefix for this option will depend on the table prefix configured in WPconfig, or if this is a multi-site installation. By default, on a single-site installation, this prefix will be WPunderscore, so the option will be WPunderscoreUserUnscoreRoles. If you extract the value of the user roles option and unserialize the array, you will see that the array keys are the role names, and the values are arrays of capabilities. Whenever an authenticated user is attempting to do something, this action is checked against the user's role capabilities, using the current userCAN function. If the user has the capability to perform the action, they will be allowed to do so. If they do not have the capability, they will be denied access. If you take a look at line 270 of the wp-admin slash include slash post.php file, you will see that the editPost capability is checked before a post is edited or updated. If the user does not have the editPost capability for this post, they will be informed that they do not have the required access to edit it. Let's say that you want to allow your editors to be able to do something that only admins can do, maybe install and update plugins. By default, the editor role does not have the activate plugins or update plugins capability. You can add this capability to the editor role by using the ADCAT method of the wp-roll class. However, doing so will add this capability to the user role stored in the database. So it's recommended to run this on something like plugin activation using the register activation hook function. The register activation hook requires the path to the file that contains the hook callback and the hook callback function name. You can then add the capabilities to the editor role by using the get role function to get the role object and then using the ADCAT method to add the capabilities. So what that would look like is we could say editor get role editor, so that's the role that exists in the database. And then we could say editor add cap and we want to allow the editors to activate plugins and we want to allow the editor to update plugins. Adding this code to a plugin and activating the plugin will trigger the activation hook and will update the editor role with the new plugin capabilities. So let us activate this plugin which will now add those capabilities to the editor role. Let's create a new editor user and I'll just give it some random details for now. Keep the password simple for testing purposes and make it an editor. And if we log out and log in as the editor user, we are able to install activate and update plugins. Note that because adding capabilities to a role is a permanent change, you should only do this when the plugin is activated and not on every page load. Additionally, if you want to remove a custom role, it's a good idea to do so on plugin deactivation using the register deactivation hook function. So let's look at what that could look like. So the activation deactivation hook function on callback could look like that. And then we would say get the role and then we would remove capabilities by saying remove cap and the same capability and then copy paste the update plugins capability. And there's our plugin deactivation. This is useful for two reasons. Firstly, you can add and remove capabilities when the plugin is activated and deactivated, which is useful when testing whether the capabilities you've set are what you need. Secondly, if the user deactivates your plugin, the capabilities will be removed, cleaning up any changes your plugin has made. Just as it is possible to assign existing capabilities to roles, you can also create your own custom roles and assign capabilities to them. This is useful if you want to create a role that has a specific set of capabilities and you don't want to use an existing role. For example, let's say you want to use a role which can only activate and update plugins, say an assistant to the administrator. You can create a new role using the add role function and assign the activate plugins and update plugins capabilities to it. So what that would look like in the code, let's grab the activation hook registration update the callback to custom role, let's create the function. And then we will use the add role function, which requires the role name, all lower case, a human readable string, which should be translated, but we won't worry about that now. And then an array of capabilities, which are passed in as key value pairs, the key being the capability being set and the value being true or false. So set that, then we'll set activate plugins to true. And we will set update plugins to true. Again, because the new role will be stored in the database, you should only run this code when the plugin is activated and not on every page load. Notice how the array of capabilities includes the read capability. This is because the read capability is required for a user attached to that role to be able to access the dashboard. Regardless of any other capabilities a user has, if they do not have the read capability, they will not be able to access the dashboard menu in order to perform the specific task that they should be able to. You can also include a deactivation hook to remove the role when the plugin is deactivated using the remove role function. So let's just steal the deactivation code here. I'll say remove custom role. And then we can simply say remove role and pass in the role name. Because we've made some changes to the activation and deactivation hooks, now it would be a good idea to deactivate and then reactivate the plugin for all the role functionality to be updated. So in our plugins, let's deactivate this plugin and then let's activate it. You can now create a new user with the assistant capability. Then switch users and notice how that all that user can do is manage plugins. So we're logged in as admin, so let's go to the users, create a new user, and give them the assistant capability. And then fill in all the details. Make a simple password for testing purposes and create the user. And then log out and log in as that user. And all we can really manage are the plugins. For more information on developing user roles and capabilities, see the roles and capabilities section of the plugin developer handbook at developer.wordpress.org. Happy coding!


Let's take the example of a profit earning entity. In such type of entities, what is the goal of financial management? Let's answer this question that the goal of financial management in a profit earning entity is value maximization. Now, the question arises whether it is an appropriate goal? However, money making goal is an inappropriate goal because it is a vague goal. Money cannot be defined. There are multiple definitions of money because there are multiple users of money. However, certain other possible goals of financial management can be listed like business survival, avoiding financial distress and bankruptcy, getting competitive advantages, trying to sale maximization, trying to cost minimization program in the business concern, enhanced profitability and maintaining steady income growth for a certain period of time in the days to come or quality enhancement. However, profit maximization is not an appropriate goal in the contemporary financial management because profit has multiple concepts, either it is in terms of earnings per share or an absolute value of net income. Further, it is unclear that it is a short term goal or long term goal. So, profit is not an appropriate goal for the financial management. The goals discussed earlier can be classified into two different heads. The first is the profitability enhancement. To enhance profitability for a business concern, one has the option to increase sales of the product, to increase market share, to effectively utilize resource in the business or to start a cost control program so that profit may be enhanced. The other purpose of the financial management is to control risks in the business in order to stabilize and save working of the assets of the business concern in order to ensure liquidity for a specific period of time or to avoid bankruptcy. So, these are the goals that may lead to the goal of financial management, but yet the overall comprehensive goal is yet to come. If we say that what is the appropriate goal of a financial management, then we have to think from the standpoint of view of the shareholders or owners of the business that what the owner needs. The simple answer to this question is that the owner's goal is to get value enhancement in the equity they have invested in their firm. So to enhance the value of the owner's equity, it is the only way to maximize the current value of the shares held by the owners. And in doing so, the firm of business is nothing to do. Business is the sole purpose for sole partnership, for a partnership firm or a joint stock company. The point is that every good decision made by the management definitely enhances the value of the equity held by the shareholders. Now the question arises that why share price maximization is the ultimate goal of the financial management. We know that in a business concern, there are employees, suppliers, creditors and everyone else that has some legitimate goal in the business firm. They have certain claims. So the owners have to first satisfy their claims and the rest is for the shareholders. This means that shareholders if they are getting something, this clearly shows that the upper layers are getting their share in full. So the ultimate goal of financial management for value enhancement in terms of share price maximization ensures that everyone in the chain before the shareholder is getting his share in full. Now what is corporate finance? We can define that corporate finance is developing a relationship between investment and financing decency, cash flows and value creation is the enhancement of modern corporate finance. But a more general goal of financial management can also be there, then what is that more general goal? Remember a more general beneficial goal is for benefit of both either having stock or having no predict stock firms. So maximizing the value of existing shareholder's equity is the most appropriate goal for the financial management in the contemporary world.

Hello
