Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the stocks. What should I'm doing a golden gap course next weekend? Last class for October, there's only three more classes before the end of the year. So October and November and December, if you wanna get in and learn my system, this would obviously be the best class to do it. Why? Because earning season started on Wednesday just a few days ago. So you'd have more of a chance to get into the trading room and get the options trades if you did the class this coming weekend, then obviously in December, which means you'd be trading with me then in 2022. So if you want to trade this year, this is the time to get in and do the course. The class is October 23rd and 24th. Deadline is Friday to sign up and I'm doing a special to try to help people. It's the trading room and the newsletter free until Memorial Day 2022. So that's seven and a half months. It's a long time to get both the trades in the day trading room calls and the newsletter free. And it's a good amount of time that you should be able to decide, you know, if you wanna continue in the room and the options or just do one or the other, it gives people a feel for both options and the live equity day trades. If you'd like more information, you can email me at melissathestalkswitch.com. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest or Skype. I follow or I post my hits, my TV hits on YouTube if you actually wanna follow me on there and also when I'm on, I put it on Twitter. So I'm doing an earnings season special. Again, like I said, this is a good way for people to also trade actively while they're learning. So, you know, I don't know what the percentage I say, 80% or 85% of all the information when you take a class, you learn and know right out of the game. You know, you're gonna have a period where you're learning and doing and learning and doing then you ask me questions after the fact. There's nothing wrong with that. Absolutely nothing to it all. And everybody's gonna have questions and that's why the live room is there for you to ask questions during the room. So the earnings season special is a good deal because it includes the Golden Gap course, normal tuition price at $6,999 and the Gap Options newsletter and the live training room free through 531-22. Again, that's Memorial Day next year. So that's five months in 2022, the rest of October, November, December, this year. Okay. And again, the reason earnings season is a good time to trade is because of the fact that a lot of stocks, companies report earnings tend to gap. Now they have big moves when they gap with lots of momentum. We play them up, we play them down. It's really the way that I rate the gap and the benefit of being in the room obviously is that I'm making the picks. I'm doing the ratings for you but you're gonna learn how to do it in the class so you don't need me for the rest of your life and you could do it yourself. The class is online. Email me at melissathestalkschwisch.com if you wanna register. So, you know, this may seem like a rhetorical question. Would you like to make money trading? Sometimes I wonder if people really wanna make money trading. Why?  I've read the craziest stories. I'm up this much money, I don't get out. I'm trading this system for years and I'm losing. Why keep trading it? If you are losing money in the market, there's a reason.  I found that people that do really bad have a problem with both. And what happens is they have a bad system. Just listen to what I'm saying here. They have a bad system. They're using it for years and years and years. They can't get off of it. They keep wanting to see things a certain way because that's how your brain works. Even though it's wrong, it's not right. They're losing money and then every trade that they tend to be up, they wanna hold to the nth degree is the dream target that will save them to make all the money they've ever lost in the market or all the money they've ever lost when paying for classes that didn't learn how to trade. And so they're always looking for the big one to cover the losses from years and years of losing from using a bad system. Do you know what I'm saying? So it makes no sense why people do that, but they do. So I have to ask this question, would you like to make money trading? Because if you can be honest with yourself with this, that's gonna be step one. If you really wanna make money, step one is admit that you do and have a desire and a drive for it. I have a huge desire and a drive to be successful. It drives me forward every single day. Okay, actually today is Sunday. It's three o'clock and a beautiful Sunday in New York. I'm doing this video for you. I work on weekends. I work nights. I get up in the middle of the night sometimes to be on television. That's work. I lose sleep. I drive myself forward because I'm very passionate about what I do and I'm a very motivated person. But if you are losing trading, you gotta ask yourself, maybe you don't really wanna be successful doing this. If you have a problem paying for a class and learning something new and won't get off a bad system, maybe you don't really wanna do this well. I mean, these are questions that only you can answer, but you have to be honest with yourself. If you can't be honest with yourself, who can you be honest with? Ultimately, though, time is money. Why waste time? You know, it's October. You got plenty of time left in the year to capitalize on the moves and stocks in the market, particularly because it's early season, particularly because I think we're gonna have a volatile fall. I think it's already started. I mean, I can't wait to see here where we are tonight with the futures, but I think we're already there. And so time is money. Don't waste it. Don't waste doing systems or taking trades that are bad and don't work. Or don't waste putting off learning something new like my class. You know, 2022 is still very far away. You could be in a whole different place with you trading your finances between now and then. A whole different place. I mean, really, I think I looked in the calendar, it was like 11 more weeks left in the year. That's a long time. So time is money. Invest in yourself. Learn how to trade. This is a clip of the market. Actually, this was back the beginning of October. We pushed back in rally since then. But for those of you that don't know what I do, I do gaps. Here's an example of the gap in the market. Stock closed here. This was a QQQs. Gap down, fell. Rally dropped. This was the QQQs. This was a gap down. What is a gap? It's a difference between the close and the open. That's it. How do I know this is gonna fall? How do I know to short this? Which is what we did. I rated the gap. The gap rated 20 points or more per my 26 point rating system. So we took it in the direction of the gap. We do gap ups. We do gap downs. We do all kinds of things. You'll learn that in the class if you wanna come to me. But it's all about the results. You've gotta have the results if you wanna keep going and do well. Otherwise, you're just constantly refunding your account. And what's the point of that? But people do it. People do it. They continue to trade systems that don't work. And I don't know why. Honest to goodness, I do not know why. You've gotta learn something that works. So my golden gap system works. Here's a chart of the QQQs. I'll show you here an option straight. Again, you will get this letter free through Memorial Day if you do the class this weekend, which is great. You can do the system, do the class. Then you can decide if you wanna do options and day trades or one or the other. I called on October 4th. I'll go back and show you in a second, 357 puts. So here, there. Time of the day you see, 9.23 right before the open.  That was a nice one. That was a good one, okay? So this was on that particular day, which I think was a Monday. Trade went right away that day. Cost of the trade for one contract was $3.80. 20 contracts, the risk was 7,600. Now, if you can't watch trades, I say put your sell order at 50%. If you can, you're trying to get trades to 100%. But I have the targets in the letter, but if you can't watch it, you gotta put an order at 50. Cause even 75, 80, that's a good target. Sold at 100% return in investment. Great trade, that's an advanced risk. Begin a risk, three contracts, or even, you know, you could take one, risk 380 bucks. Make $380. But three contracts, 1,140 profit, 1,140 return in investment, 100%. It was a good trade. And everybody loves the trades that go immediately. I know it, I know what everyone loves them. But sometimes they take a couple of days, but that was one that went immediately. So that was, if you sign up for the options newsletter or the class, you get the option newsletter free until Memorial Day 2022, you will get this newsletter. So you would have gotten that trade to take it. Now, this was a day trade we did. This was on the 28th. Feels like a long time ago with September, but it really wasn't. 365, 60 was the entry, 3,000 shares, risk was 2,700. We did it on, cause I love this. And I really thought it was gonna go. This is a big size. Huge size and kind of pricey, but she could have taken a lot less. This is on margin. Okay, big traders always trade on margin. This is an advanced risk. Average price was 3,646, boom, got the drop. Almost five bucks, $29,100 in one day. Here's the gap, here's the move. We talked about this earlier. Close to your gap down, rally, got the drop. We had a beautiful entry in this. Gorgeous entry in this. Some were up in here, and then we got the move. That was a really, really, really, really nice trade. Again, that was a short. However, this was an equity trade. So you have to have a margin account to do that. And again, if you have more specific questions, you can always email me. If you have more specific questions, you can always email me directly or pick up the phone and call me too at 929-3200 gap. But how can you learn how to choose the right gap daily to trade? You will learn the golden gap. This is what you learn in the class. You will learn the rating system. The rating system tells you what to look for and what to trade. So the class is called the golden gap course. It is a full two-day course on how to strategically find pick-and-play stocks that are professional bearish gaps. Class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. The class is Saturday and Sunday. It's always Saturday and Sunday just so you know. October 23rd and 24th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time. I don't know why this is 10th there, that's wrong. It's not the 23rd, 24th, and 10th. It's only two days.  It is October 23rd and 24th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time. Class tuition is $6,999. Class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. So again, let's just review the earnings season special. Sign up by Friday the 22nd. Do the class of 23rd and 24th.

How's it going everybody dotted away here and you guys actually hit 40,000 likes on that last quiz video And I did not expect this, but the comment section was mostly making fun of me the whole time I got a few things wrong.  I get it No, I'm not the best at PowerPoint making but we do have Sina back again to take another ultimate Dragon Ball Z quiz Sina Have you been studying? Yeah, I'm a little bit Dragon Ball smarter. I'd say mm-hmm I know who Beerus is now. That's pretty cool. Yeah, you did learn about Beerus You also memorized Majin Buu and Gohan's interaction down to it. Yeah You know that quiz was pretty good pretty good homework Anyway in this ultimate Dragon Ball Z quiz by the way if you guys want to hit 30,000 likes on this one I kept this one specifically about the Saiyan saga because very quickly the scope got away from me So if you had 30,000 maybe maybe we'll do another one of these with the Frieza saga But you know that remains to be seen or the Namek saga Oh, they're gonna they're gonna bully me again. So the comment section is gonna bully me again Our first question is oh, I love this question, dude I made these questions a few hours ago. All right Though known as a naturally aggressive warrior race the Saiyans can be completely countered by a grabbing their Saiyan scruff be pushing their key pressure point or see squeezing their tails wait Do they have tails dude? Are they furries? Wait wait wait so the Saiyans like Goku's a Saiyan right so these are just they're like race This is a race of Saiyans. Yes. These are Saiyans bad guys, right? They're pretty they're pretty mean guys. Yeah, oh, they're mean Okay, they're warriors they go and take people's planets by force as much as I would love to yank one up by their Saiyan scruff, dude. I just think that that is just not the answer. It's gotta be There was it called a Kai pressure point. What is that?  Yes, I am walking in B. All right. Well the correct answer was See squeezing their tails if you squeeze a Saiyan's tail they most of them will be left completely powerless They all naturally have tails Yeah, they sometimes they tuck them around their waist like belt in them But anyway, yeah, if you squeeze a Saiyan's tail, this is for most Saiyans They'll just go completely limp almost like you're grabbing their scruff I had no idea the Saiyans were furries, but that's pretty awesome I had no idea Yeah, that's fine, I mean you're only zero you know you just missed one so anyway This is Raditz versus Goku Goku got him by his tail But with that said how did Raditz escape this dire situation his tail is getting squeezed He's done for did he a ask very nicely for Goku to let go of his tail Be he trained his tail to be resistant to this weakness or see he fired off one last energy blast Okay, all right, so he asked nicely for Goku to let go of his tail That just seems like something they would do if he said please Goku sir have some kindness That kind of just seems like it might happen One last blast. I think that he's rendered weak right now because of his tail right So how could he have the energy that doesn't seem like that makes sense. Um trained his tail to be resistant to weakness I don't think that it could be that one. So I'm gonna say that he asked nicely I think that the creators of the show would do something like that All right, so you're Please So you think you think it's a he asked very nicely for Goku to let go of his tail after he just came to earth and stole His son and beat him up. Yes. Have some humility. What's his name Raditz Raditz Raditz have some humility Is he kind of like a radish? That's yes, that's Raditz the Radish so the correct answer was actually hey He did just ask Goku nicely and it didn't go off for Goku Yeah, he said basically said psych as soon as he let go of his tail Stepping on him with the utmost disrespect, please tell me is it Goku or Gohan right there That's Goku. Goku's getting killed step on Goku then uno reverse asked him also nicely Goku did not ask nicely. He was just confused. He was very perplexed. What's my next question I completely forgot it's been ours. Oh, yeah, even though he's getting stepped on Goku's the hero How did he defeat his brother Raditz? He pulled his tail clean off Yeah We know how that worked out for me in the last episode You're afraid to look at like your little Namekian song all over again Okay, so did Goku a pull his tail clean off be held him down and let Piccolo kill them both or see use the Kyoken a risky technique.  I just imagine. He's like a little lizard, but it's Like his tail squirms a little bit. What do you think at all? Oh my goodness, that hurts so bad. All right. He held them down and let Piccolo kill them both Okay, okay, wait a minute. I he's the kyoken a risky technique. Okay, that also seems good But I don't know how powerful like Piccolo is and if he could kill both of them because they're both sands But I think that that seems reasonable because if I was Goku again, just like a call of duty lobby I'm just gonna respawn eventually. You know what I mean And he's fine.  Yeah, that man is just playing team deathmatch IRL. He's good to go He's good to go. All right, so the correct answer was Be he held them down and let Piccolo take them both out You're on fire right now But yeah, he basically locked them up bonus points actually I didn't include this in the quiz because we went over it But when Goku was getting stepped on here The reason he was able to escape this was Gohan came out and said leave my daddy alone That was on the last quiz. That was the leave my daddy alone Uh-huh.  He was like four years old or whatever and then Goku just grabbed him and Piccolo killed them both in one shot That's right because Piccolo raised Gohan. Nope You're not wrong this is after this happened and Goku died. Oh Spoilers a moment of silence. Oh, sir May he rest in peace After Goku died Piccolo basically kidnapped Gohan and said I'm training this kid Okay, and that's and that's because of a different reason that we'll get to you But anyway, let's go ahead and deal with the next factor which is death in the Dragon Ball world We kind of talked about this But I have a few things to go over before we get to our next question So let's just continue on from the fact that Goku died. So boom first of all, he's dead. He's white Oh, and he's brought to King Yama's place King Yama tells him he needs to go train with King Kai on snake way So he starts running. Yeah, he's basically in heaven now So he's running down snake way, but Goku gets tired.  Anyway while he falls to hell.   He's back on snake way He meets some attractive snake women and they kind of hit on him But Goku's not really vibing with it as you can tell he's not really vibing with the experience And but that's probably good because the snake girls are evil. These are evil snake girls They were pretending to and then the main one was a snake dragon thing Goku flies around basically defeats it by wrapping it up in itself pretty smart play by Goku out And then finally a Goku arrives at King Kai's plan. Okay, I have some questions Yeah, why does heaven look like a receptionist desk? That's where the souls come in He went into a receptionist desk and said hey, hello What's like? I don't understand. Is that God? That's supposed to be God at reception. That's King Yama He's like a he's like a reception. He just tells his soul's like he's just like hey, what's up? You're dead I mean, I guess it's pretty palm champ of your heaven's receptionist then that's pretty fine I don't understand why you'd have to walk on snakes way. Can you just float anywhere in heaven? I mean do I fly already? Yeah, he could fly I think he did a little bit of flying But then he did some running and then he fell asleep and then he passed out and then he fell off in a Hell, how do you fall asleep on snakes way in heaven? Wait, why is there a car on snakes way? Oh, yeah, you noticed that so I didn't include it But he to try to like this is why he fell off to try to get some sleeping in while still getting some progress in He fell asleep on the car and it like bucked him off and that's how he fell But the reason he was trying to make so much progress is because he only has one year Sin otherwise the other two Saiyans Vegeta and Napa are gonna come to earth and kill the rest of his friends Dude, he has one year to get to King Kai's and learn all this dude Oh, but wait doesn't he still have to be respawned like can't he not help He does know he does have to be respawned But he has to get stronger first cuz these two guys are like the strongest two people in the history of forever dude So that's why that's why he went to King cut. No, they're not his brother Okay, a little bit of your Namekian stuff is showing there, but that's fine Anyway, now that Goku has made it to King Kai's planet He can finally train with King Kai and a the spirits of ancient Saiyans be a monkey and a cricket see Kaio and Ken, please tell me it isn't be Please tell me I just I need validation that it's not be but this guy looks like a cricket He is a little cricket That's King Kai. He is not That's just a hat. I think I don't know what King Kai is. I think he's just a guy Okay, then I don't think that it's be I feel safe not saying that then I'm just gonna say he's trained with the spirits of the ancient Saiyans because I imagined that that's the only way He could get stronger, right? There's gonna be some cool lore around the sands and I think that that's it He trains with his ancestors basically to become stronger. Yeah, that's like somebody and like, you know mythology going and training with Zeus That's pretty sick, dude. How else do you get stronger? Honestly, that does sound pretty sick. Are you walking in a I'm walking in a alright the correct answer was be a I'd like you to meet Gregory the cricket they help go to train Yeah, Gregory and bubbles Okay, bubbles fine Gregory, I don't understand. I have a lot of beef with the name Gregory We're gonna have another guy named Thomas I just don't get it Like train with anybody Anybody and be stronger. I do train with the king. Why train with a monkey and a cricket?  Well, that is just rude Why you would do that and why would he smack him if he has to train with him? That just seems a little aggressive. Well, that was the training He had to track him down and smack him with a hammer, dude I am actually just seeing some plot holes Oh my goodness, this show just surprises me every time.  All right, let's continue on with the King Kai's training learning under King Kai Goku learns both the Kaioken and a the spirit bomb be the dragon fist and see the King Kai surprise Okay, I think that you taught me the spirit bomb is a thing the King Kai Surprise sounds like something I would get from like a Dragon Ball special McDonald Doesn't sound correct to me Dragon fist seems more reasonable because you did say he fought a dragon, right? And he like tied him up in a little knot.  So I think it's got to be Because spirits he didn't change spirits dragon fist. That just makes sense Also, he has a fist right there in his hand. Not that that really matters, but I think that makes sense Okay, so you're locking in be dragon fist the dragon fist, please be right the correct answer was a the spirit bomb Spirit why not hold the Gregory bomb? This attack draws off the life force of every living thing next to you. Okay, so that's why it's the spirit bomb So you can take energy from like the grass and trees and stuff even Gregory if you want Yeah, well that just be kind of messed up. I mean Come on For Gregory, I forget what the next slide is. Oh, yeah, while Goku So this is while Goku's training while he's running back to get revived his friends fight the Saiyan and their little minion Are those this is this yet? What what are those nemecheans the little green? What are these little minions there? Are they a beans bees? Cybermen or C sprouts? The way these work is you plant them in the ground and they're like a you know chia pets they grow. Oh They grow.  So I'm gonna go sprouts Okay, well also fun fact each one of these little green things is as strong as raddits What but yeah, anyway, you were wrong. The correct answer was be cybermen Oh, so now they want to get creative with their names We're going we're really going through the Saiyan saga here introduce me to some staples Again forgot the forgot the next slide. Oh, yeah, anyway, how many of Goku's friends are still alive by the time he gets there a 2b3 or c4 are they killing them one by one or they not just like getting the whole earth They're just fighting. They're fighting these guys head-on Well, I'm gonna count I think there's six on the screen, right? You don't make it Three Yes, three I think that there's like I think that because there's the two guys that are just trying to kill them, right? Yeah, and the cybermen. Yeah, I've oh and the cybermen. Oh that changes things. Never mind. I think it's to do I think they're just getting wiped out you think they're getting wiped out just exterminate I think it's gotta come down to the wire and then that's when Goku's gonna swoop in and be like sup I know spirit bomb You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, so you're locking in to Coming last second by the power of the correct answer was to only two of them are still standing by the time Goku gets there I mean Gregory have a nice pack. Thank you. I like to think the same Let's go over who dies and in what order So, you know, it starts off the cybermen begin the fight yoncha goes up first On to him like no to be fair yoncha put up a good fight But the sidemen he thought the sidemen was dead, but it grabbed him and it exploded. He died and the sidemen died too So that's one one Yoncha's dead sidemen's dead And then I think the next one to go is chow-tsu chow-tsu grabbed Napa after that Took out all the sidemen in one go so chow-tsu just went after Napa and he performed the amazing technique of blowing himself up He just self-destructive. I don't worry Napa was fine TN Also, I TN died after that then Piccolo took a shot for gohan And then he cried and died and that's it That's the order they died in leaving just gohan and Krillin before Goku showed up. Wait, so was a piccolo dies Yeah, piccolo dies taking the hit for gohan. What the heck does he ever get to respond?   Maybe that's the reason I just don't like hugs I don't know because that's just how Yeah, dude, because look at how they're just hugging them and then suddenly they die that just seems like a shitty situation They just wanted to latch on make sure their explosion did like critical damage But that's about it. That's how they go through anyway Goku's finally arrived. How does he kill Nappa a using the kaioken be using the spear bomb or see he doesn't so okay? Listen, I imagine that he kills him using the spirit bomb because he again learned it from Gregory And if he's gonna go through all of this character art to learn that move it has to be the spirit bomb That's the only way that makes sense. It's gotta be foreshadowing. I'm going be locking in spirit bomb locking in the spear Bob. Okay.  Oh Yeah, Napa's like he raises his hand that's Napa's hand. He goes hey Vegeta. I can't feel my legs Can you please pick me up?  Yeah, Vegeta says I have no use for a saying who can't move Vegeta doesn't like Napa dude He doesn't like sayings you can't move Now Anyway Goku and Vegeta, you know they fight for a little while and then they have a classic iconic beam clash What is Goku used to win this clash in is it a kaio-ken be kaio-ken times three or see kaio-ken times four Please tell me you're joking and there's not a kaio-ken multiplication table Multiplication table kaio-ken Wait, what is Goku when to use this clash it's got to be just kaio-ken times Three three I'm gonna lock in three. No wait Goku Goku has four letters four I mean that's a good as logic as any so you're locking in see kaio-ken times four. I am yes Well, you are correct.  And he's like times four. Yeah, this one adds up if there is it basically is a multiplier later in later So I guess he goes up to like times 20. So he's really getting the most out of the attack Okay, yeah, he's gonna start using exponents and everything Fractions just to make sure he's really getting the correct amount of power Anyway, Vegeta's not done after that He obviously returns from the being class and he makes his own version of the moon in order to a become a great eighth He become a super Saiyan or see perform a moon blast wait wait wait. I thought you just said he died No, he just got blasted into the air and came back pretty injured. Oh, so he returns. Okay. Yeah He comes back. He's like what pretty much.  I think that that is true All right. Well, then the correct answer was a become a great Giant great ape it starts squeezing Goku this is crazy. Oh clothes also expanded with him. Yes. Yes crazy He has some good Remembers that I I think I told you this at one point But the Saiyans armor is designed to stretch because their ultimate form was the great ape form can all of them turn into apes Yes, every same with the tail can turn into an ape. Oh It's all making sense. Okay. All right. I'm locked in.  They have to squeeze it. It was a reference before Dude, I just I mean I guess if I touch my dog tail She gives me a little side-eye and looks back at me and I imagine that bad pal They stop this eight. It's gotta be be I'm walking in B Norma's great apes tail there. Yes, dude I think they give it a little squeeze a little pool and then it's just like wow All right lock it in B, but the correct answer is see they cut Vegeta's tail off stopping the transformation No tail no great ape. Oh, I I don't know why he couldn't okay.  So no great I guess they can't squeeze that massive tail Okay, okay a bit of logic you get But yeah skipping some more details I think the detail is he gets hit with the spear bomb by the way, I didn't actually include that in the quiz But Vegeta gets hit with spear bomb. He's toast. He's practically dead. How do they finish the fight? They a stab him B Gohan and Krillin jump him or see Goku lets him leave. Okay, so Krillin is obviously about to stab him here, right? Krillin jump him I don't know or Goku Goku lets him leave dude because he also didn't kill the other guy And I imagine that Vegeta is just gonna come back as a mega problem I think that they let him leave because right now he hasn't stabbed him in the image But Krillin is looking like he's just all bark You know what I mean and he's threatening him, but if he wanted to stab him he would have I think it's I think it's see Also side note. I don't understand how they're like very vulnerable to knives I mean, I guess I get it, but if they get transformed into magical apes like if a knife stabs me and I can transform into a magical ape I'm just gonna just eat somebody away from me that has a blade So I don't see why he's able to get stabbed by this knife and die. So I'm going to see. I want to see he lets him leave Okay, see Goku lets him leave. The correct answer is see Goku lets him leave The reason Krillin looked like he didn't want to stab him is because Goku linked up in his brain and said Hey Krillin don't stab him. Just let him leave. Wait, is Goku dead right now? No, it's like Goku's just passed out on the floor, but he's talking to him for a mind link. I don't remember how he did it I mean, that's cool, I guess I guess it's similar to a Facebook message Judy just sent a little Facebook messenger thing and said Hey, man, maybe you let this guy go. He said it. Please don't Yeah, maybe we just let Vegeta guy go I guess Krillin basically did say well, I mean, I guess you did fight him all off So I guess you could ask for that But then yeah, Vegeta crawls into his little spaceship and he says a nice goodbye and then he closes the pod and goes back to space That's not a nice goodbye.  Is it not done? I would literally just set a Facebook message to Goku and say hey, man I think that you were wrong about this guy.  Well, this guy has to die like I just don't get it.  Are they all kids? Are they all kidding? No, Goku and Krillin are adults gohan's like three or four or five.  I don't want to say that No, never mind never mind never mind Well gohan's Goku's son so you could say that. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, then they look the same, dude I just don't know which is which yeah, I can never tell what they are But that's uh, yeah, I don't think I did so bad on this one this time No, I don't think so you did pretty good, but that is the end. Thank you and good night I left the same thing.  It's just all over the place. There's no consistency You called these guys sprouts Saiva man, I almost called them savey men Savey man Oh, that's so funny All right. Well, that was that was just the Saiyan saga. So that's all the lure and that won't pretty much That's a lot of the Saiyan saga right there that you just took a quiz on and you did pretty well So good job. I think I understand dragon ball now. I think one could say that I could probably just recite the whole series if I needed to give it a good summary I think you definitely could I think you know, you know all the villains at this point So yeah, you could easily do that We're gonna stop this here 30 000 likes and maybe we'll do another quiz, but uh, hopefully that takes a lot longer I'm bad at making power points, but thank you. Um, bye. Bye. Bye. Like and subscribe and check out city state all down below. Bye Bye


By the way, yeah, Frattl-Fox works on EEG classification, which is that thing where they measure the electricity in, what's the proper definition of it? By the way, they do something with electricity that is going on in your brain. And yeah, he's into neurofeedback research and does software for non-invasive computer vision-based wildlife identification, which is a very cool thing, I believe. Yeah, this was your biography in a couple of sentences made very, very badly. Anyway, yeah, so... Oh, hello. Ah, perfect, okay. Yeah, so please give him a big round of applause for his talk. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for joining the session. Yeah, I put some crappy description of what I'm actually doing. So the wildlife thing is actually a separate project. So what I'm basically doing, EEG, BCI research, and yeah, and so this is what I actually want to talk about, because recently I felt like I was waking up in the future, I mean, because we have all this new technology right now happening, like rejuvenating cells, what is it, open AI, like driving cars, self-driving cars, everything. Like it's tangible, almost, and so now we have brain-computer interfaces and also made affordable and to the point where you can say it becomes reliable, actually. And yeah, so but of course, always with new technology, there might be some people who want to misuse it and so like there's a great responsibility coming. And so I know this place here, I find probably the most progressive people around technology and that's why I want to share this update, actually, update on the BCI progress that we did already last year with Metamind and Mazahil. And yeah, all right, so let's get started. So yeah, this is basically where we want to head. Okay, so, but yeah, I know a lot of people probably know something about or know maybe a lot about BCI, but I have to be fair and just give a little introduction first, so for the people who don't know. And yeah, then I will talk, of course, about the challenges or things that actually are going to be relevant and also give a view over the consumer devices that are currently available and all the open source approaches right now. And okay, so yeah, here we go. Bear with me, this is just the basics right now. I try to keep it short. So what is EG? EG is basically it's Electroencephalography. You have this, you have this beautiful plot here. This is actually what we can measure on the surface of the head. And that's what Hans Berger and the 20s found out. You can do it also with humans. So you put this electrodes and somebody's closing the eyes and then he opens it and you have a totally different pattern of brain waves. And so yeah, it's a non-invasive brain imaging method and it's probably one of the best known so to say and okay. And so yeah, this is like maybe a typical mount, so you have like electrodes and you place them in a certain areas that correlate of course to brain activity and different areas of the brain and then you get this signal and so basically it's, you can interpret it as how many times a second does a wave go up and down and then you can do an analysis on this. You have the frequency analysis. For instance, that's something that's being done quite often actually. And so what else can you do? You can do the unmix, the signal and then you for instance have, you can determine the arousal state. Like so how awake are you?  You can, we can see here, this is the typical scale. Of course there's also different activity and yeah, so basically we can do so much more actually with this in combination also with machine learning of course. And so, but let's just have a slight definition here just to, so you can see like the basic difference or how we can operate actually a brain-computer interface. So like this is. So this was the end of it? No, it's okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Perfect. So yeah. Okay. So like three basic way to differentiate we have active, active brain-computer interface where you for instance think about your left or right hand and of course need some training and then yes, you can directly control the device with thought. It's one approach. Then you have reactive where you show certain stimulus that means, so you show something like maybe something visual or something auditory and you have a certain reaction and then also you have passive ones. Those are the ones that you probably won't notice much. It's kind of tweaking your user experience. And so you probably won't even notice them. And yeah, so this is like a very basic circuitry of brain-computer interfaces where you have the user and then you have the electrodes. We do amplification. I mean, this is a very simplified approach right now.  We do some pre-processing because of course we also have a lot of noise in the data. Then we really looked for the data that we can use, the feature extraction and then we have some machine learning algorithm that can run a command based on the interpretation. And okay, so yeah, so as I said, so it really depends on where I put the electrodes and there's so many possibilities actually here and this is only a crude map of course. So but yeah, for instance, spelling computer is something very nice I think. So you just see maybe a screen with the alphabet and so the letter you're thinking of maybe the line is then highlighted. And so we can measure actually, this is then the letter you're thinking of is actually the target stimulus here in this P300 scheme and then this is like a different reaction. We can really measure this to anything else, like anything that's not the letter you're right now thinking of. And of course yes, so maybe you saw already also the videos where people can actually control by thought exoskeletons and prosthetics. And yeah, so and next something that's also now very popular for the commercial consumer products is the near feedback. And so what what is basically is you can learn you can really train your brainwave activity and and so the way it works is you we constantly measure actually your brainwave data then we do the processing and we have an interpretation is this going near to the state of well being you want to be maybe then we give in this moment we give a reward.  So at the same time you're changing your brainwave activity and you're brought some samples examples this more maybe for clinical and medical use of course. But yeah, so that's the hacky thing of course you don't have to be sick to use near feedback you can still optimize your brainwave activity. And yeah, so and then also for artists is a nice thing it's easier than never to make an interactive installation where you can have an audio visual feedback maybe you can design it it's just nuances of your arousal state and also maybe in combination with somebody you're doing it together with so it's a whole new it's a new experience something new that you can really feel so I tried so we did I did a similar set of also at a sorry the festival and it was quite interesting with two people and I can really say it's something special and yeah worth sorry really worth trying. So then neuro gaming so this is basically the gamification of neurofeedback so also there was the second conference on neurogaming already in San Francisco this year. Okay and then there's this new approach not so new approach but now new approach and consumer the consumer landscape is to combine EEG or to use TDCS a transcranial direct current stimulation or transcranial alternating current simulation which is basically zapping your brain the problem is there's not much there's no long-term studies so far I mean people say it's nice it's like wow I feel like I drank a bunch of coffees and I'm so active okay but I don't know can you can you do without is it something that less it's not so sure so yeah some scientists also who say yeah you can try it out but you should be careful definitely what you're doing you should be knowing what you're doing okay so maybe just give a quick overview the methods this is not all of them this is just the ones I found interesting here is the p300 that was the one where you respond to a certain stimulus the target stimulus and the spare computer for instance and there's no learning involved really then we at the steady state visually evoked potentials this is where you can for instance have a blinking light and a certain frequency and you will have you can actually read this in the occipital so in your visual cortex you would have a certain response to this and so this is also maybe an example of a reactive BCI then we have slow critical potentials SMR motor imagery this is again the active one and yeah this is yeah also quite good one so okay but yeah let's just have a quick look at the consumer devices right now and first okay we should clarify what are we looking for what what would be the criteria to say this is a good device or this is a bad device so I just thought of a few points of course depending on what you want to do they might be different so but of course the first thing is cost I mean so you maybe don't want to waste $50,000 and then say oh wow okay I can control make a robot go in the circle and the other one and wow nice $50,000 so okay maybe a little less and but what's really important is the specificity and the reliability so you don't want to buy some stuff and and see oh it's all it's just a it's noise in the data so like I mean you should ask yourself is really brainwave coming out of this thing so I'm not going to point a finger at any commercial product right now because I only have 10 but so like it's really it's really something you want to look at it's really essential thing you want to have clear data or clean data and okay so the next thing is the hardware and software degrees of freedom so to say this is then more of course interesting for hackers I guess if you have the chance to change some parts change electrodes and of course what's also essential then to have the raw data access and and then ergonomics I mean you don't want to waste 10 minutes trying to set up your eg a bci device not maybe even 30 seconds that really sucks because like every time you want to try at night at some point during the day and and then you fiddle around the whole time and then it's like it's a turnoff you don't you don't want to deal with this the whole time well of course yeah depending on what you want to do so and then one important thing is the product safety and security so safety I would say of course you don't get electrical you don't get a shock from the system there's not as dead circuit or something and security I will come to this later this is also one point and okay so just yeah I know this is um this is just a few devices I picked there's no um so to say um yeah just like the yeah right now popular ones but there are also other ones of course if you do some research the nearest guy mindwave is kind of um I think popular um does a good job and has good connection uh I mean it's easy to mount and uh and they at least have a hardware DIY guide this nice um then the emotive I was working with two years but I was kind of the the epoch and I was kind of annoyed to put this to other people's head actually because yeah if those people have a lot a lot of hair are you really sitting there sometimes 10 20 minutes and the guy's asking like what's happening I don't know nothing's nothing's really um yeah am I waiting for something yeah the electrodes yeah it's not really working uh and uh yeah that's also again as I said a turn off uh but I'm really um uh yeah I'm curious about the inside I think it's uh actually just launched and the interax mules also looks like ledgered headset melon I put here I couldn't um so they couldn't give me the the data sheet really but it's also very affordable um all right so um okay so what is the the progress so if you look at the devices they all have dry electrodes that means not like it used to be you have to put gel to have good uh conduct uh connectivity it's different now um so like dry electrodes but the problem is um you have to make sure you really um you get a higher higher impedance and then it's very sensitive to to noise you can really get nice very easily so you have to think about the um design of your circuitry and of course yeah the the algorithms rhythms get better and it's um something that improves of course but um if the signal is bad in the beginning um sometimes there's not much you can do and uh yeah then you don't have to work in VCI actually um oh okay there was one too fast uh the okay so then let's move on to the open source um DIY um and uh so yeah um so of course the time is a little bit too short to to um go in detail about the hardware setup but uh we're gladly gonna help you guys if you come by we can um talk talk on the details of the hardware implementation really um but yeah and also I um now just pick like a few devices uh again um that uh projects that either have introduction like a tutorial how to do a device for yourself or that already offer maybe um like a kit or something that you can really start um doing you uh doing VCI um okay so um here just um the list then the open eg project I think it has been uh and it's quite popular this has been online for a long time on the source forage page and they're doing a really good job they also have a lot of tutorials there and um so and then they say it's like something between 200 and 400 uh dollars to have um to build the device by yourself but then you also have a company that basically um assembled this all in the box um and uh and then also um yeah probably also heard about the openbci.com project this is um where you can really 3d print also um the eg or bci um device and uh and you have um a different approach also more electrodes um but also like one with four um and then the openbci.org um the one that comes from from Metamind and Masahiro and uh with over 30 years of research and um this is also one um there can be stacked and uh the amount of electrodes and we can be used either with a Arduino uh Uno or you can use basically you can exchange also the microcontroller here um yeah so but yeah what is the the core difference what is why would you either pick the one or the other um so again it really depends on what you're planning to do is it something you want to do at home some simple setup or you want to make uh research low budget research so to say you want to have um holistic recording with um a lot of electrodes um so you have to think about that but um so like maybe one core difference is also the ad converter that Masahiro picked for um the brain Arduino so you can use it uh actually better with dry electrodes um so yes it's more um it's actually easier to start with it um do this setup and um yeah okay um just maybe then a few words to the electrodes because this is the thing that you cannot um um I mean you didn't have for the consumer devices um um but like with um with the hacker devices you can really just say okay I want this or that um the very um something that is also in the scientific realm you have the like a standard is the um electrodes which are like a cup and then they're basically the materials um something um silver gold or tin um then you have big differences um passive and active electrodes so passive means um I just make I have an electrode and then goes maybe over wire and then you have the amplification but on the way um it's a problem that you maybe get some signal noise also because of electromagnetic fields for instance um the active electrode on the opposite is you amplify the signal right after the electrode and um which makes a better contact then a better signal um okay and then also something very new you have um bendable electrodes I saw publication I think there's also coming up so something very ergonomic um and uh yeah of course and also you can you can hack um electrodes uh you can just take um some silver coins and solder to them to a screw and then connected uh works perfect um yeah okay and then software um so I only also picked a few of course um there's much more um but like OpenVik is one of those that's quite um has been there for a long time also and um you have a visual editor and you have all the machine learning and all the filters there also and um like a lot of tools and uh yeah brain base also unfortunately only for Windows but um um then Neurom was also new software um it's not open source but it's free to use um so yeah but I would suggest for the beginning or you have maybe some other toolboxes for for MATLAB if you do it like in the research field um but OpenVipe is always a good thing to go I think um the beginning and so one one important thing I want to talk about is uh really privacy issues um maybe still it feels like it's an early stage but if you think about it if if brain computer interfaces become more popular like you know used used to be like Fitbit maybe or something like that and now it's you quantified the the body now you quantified the mind and become popular then you should ask yourself um what happens with my data with my brainwave data because there's actually some things that you can do with it and uh yeah so let's just um take a look at those um titles here um so uh the headlines and brain wave privacy standard is needed to prevent spying on eG data scan data research as one um so okay um Buffins proposed brainwave privacy standard eG data can predict illness and app makers are storing it in the cloud I think wow that's shit I don't want that that's really something I want to um prevent so I think it's um it's a critical time that uh we should actually um get in uh uh get uh conversation and uh just discuss this really um because um yeah I don't know where this could be heading I mean I'm not overly paranoid but um you can imagine there's a lot of things you can really um use here uh misuse and uh yeah so basically something about health conditions cognitive performance um and then of course there was also publication talking about um achieving with the consumer device uh they found out the pin code once at first locations where no people you actually know um so all this data can be actually compromised and uh yeah so you have different stages of attack and um of course what we can do is with the open source um community we can of course um look if there's something maybe around the device uh maybe we can check out um we we can do um um we encrypt the brainwave data before we send it but um okay um no it's it's going to be hard anyways but we should discuss about it and um and uh yeah so um so again I would say the private standard is really something essential it's something we that should be discussed and uh um and then uh yeah so um then this is something that uh where I really want to also that's why I'm here also to discuss with um with you guys if if um there's some approach that um we can make a safer brainwave experience in the in the future um and yeah so um just come by by the neuro neuro hacking space and um yeah we can discuss we you can try out the device we have a lot of devices there from um all all sorts of um all the the consumer uh the um open source devices we listed are actually there and um yeah try out um test and then if you want if you want to hack something uh we're glad to help you um and answer all your questions and yeah again as I said so maybe you also have a good input for um so we can kind of go on with the privacy of brainwave data and um yeah and also for the for the brain reno project um there's going to be a kickstarter we want to make it more affordable um yeah also if you want to participate um yeah just come by again um yeah but that's basically it uh thank you for listening oh yeah questions right yeah there is already a question from the internet so please go thank you first question do you know of any plans to regulate the whole technology device that sends waves um and have the capability to you know temper with your brain shouldn't maybe be easily to to be allowed um yeah I'm not sure I mean the problem is sometimes you um I mean the consumer market then uh so like okay um I will repeat the question um so is there any way to to um excuse me yo shut up what okay there any approach um so I would say the problem is always the disclaimer uh like um mouse um like very small printed things um um and then you're not sure on the if you're a consumer of a yeah if you're buying consumer product um so from that point it's quite hard I think to to regulate at this point um but yeah I don't know if there would be like a standard like um like a redata standard um and a safety standard then maybe um this could be done but of course there's so many steps where you can attack this actually um so yeah it's quite a complicated um topic there is a question on the microphone in there oh yeah okay um you had the slide at the beginning where you outlined the basic flow of the data when it uh first it was analog taken from the brain then uh changed to dialogue data uh digital sorry um and uh there was a filtering process before that my question is is there a direct advantage of filtering the data before changing it to digital data and what sort of filtering is done there is it just a band pass or is there something else um it actually um so I mean this was quite simplified um graphic um because you have also different kind of amplifiers before um or instrumental um but um yeah so um this makes sense before you send it um further um but yeah maybe if you have the time maybe you can come around then we can um show you um like some detailed um schematics actually and try to explain why why does this make sense at this point um but yeah also I mean if you if you don't want to come by it's all online I can show um yeah um yeah sorry um to my left yeah there is a question in there hello uh about the epoch headset uh there was a small bullet point mentioning that it has a raw data hack could you please elaborate um yeah I mean I'm not sure if this I mean yeah I mean if you if you uh look in the search engine you you can um I mean it's quite easy to find um it's also in github I there's some forks of it and um yeah it's actually quite easy to use um um but yeah okay it's possible yeah hello uh you were talking about also um the dangers and the misuse that can be done with it the dangers and the misuse that could be done with it with the system um there will be misuse you know that it will come yeah I mean it's part of it so how as a scientist do you yeah work with that you know you yeah on the one hand you clearly know that it's good and all the good things that come out of it on the other hand it's a very very powerful technique technique I think um people should be able to decide by themselves if they want to share their brainwave data or not um and every action I do before this I want to make sure 100 percent that cannot be compromised um I think that would be um like maybe some opt-in if you can say okay I'm fine I put my raw data online in the cloud they can use it for um for analysis for like cloud analysis um yes definitely it's a it's a powerful tool um but yeah I think it should be opt-in there should be no compromising before that step do you also believe that it will sometimes you know in our society we uh we have the brain in the heart you know we take separate it I don't know why but this happens do you think it will lead to us um getting brain in the heart closer together again I mean once you know sometimes you don't know what you're feeling you know you you can't describe it do you think that that whole technique can help well I mean so basically I mean how how I think about newer feedback for instance is um it's like meditation with guidance so um like all the like the the research also going on with meditation you know kind of bring into the call what what does it really do what how it changes your brainwave chemicals really and in a profound way and I mean with this with this um I mean what's following this is that um you become more aware of course of your surroundings so maybe in a way this this brings this brings close together a heart and the mind so to say um yeah yeah thank you so there is a question to the microphone at my right yeah I think um PCI is quite interesting but since it's an it's an interface I'm interested in whether there are any methods of inducing brainwaves instead of just measuring them imagine a world in which you think of something and you got the Wikipedia article directly in your brain it would be quite interesting um yeah so like this is the um I mean there are different approaches right now non-invasively but in a way it is invasive you have the TDCS um but um I mean so the problem is you don't have like long-term research on this you can you can be your own guinea pig of course you can divide by the devices and just um check it out what it does um but so like this is you know like forcing brainwave activity the other thing I mean I try to explain the newer feedback is really um it takes some time but um there's like depending on what protocol you're using you can regulate also you can change brainwave activity and um the great thing about it it stays the way it's so it's not like um so like you're really building new bridges in your brain um I mean the same with TDCS but it's not forced and the problem with TDCS also it's like very unspecific right now at least it's like you're firing in every direction and um changing something forcefully um yeah thank you um there is time for one last question from the Signal Angel thank you my question from the internet goes along the lines of the last question could you elaborate a little bit on the brainwave training part um what's the status what are the benefits um yeah so I mean it's used right now um for instance to um like ADD like attention deficit disorder um it's an alternative to to Ritalin Hitalin you know that's like um basically it's an amphetamine that they're giving to children and um so it's very harmful for the body um but instead you can do newer feedback training actually um and um so I mean of course you have to do some practice and maybe you have to do also some follow-up practice but in the long run it helps you with the situation in a very good way also and um you don't have to take chemicals yeah I'm super sorry for you guys but we're running out of time and I've got to cut this short so yeah thanks a lot for the folks yeah also you can just come by


What is going on everybody, Astos here. Welcome back to another video. So in this video, we're going to be doing an overall market update, taking a look at the Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. We're going to be doing a quick little trading update as well. What stocks am I personally trading? What stocks am I currently watching? As well as talking about Disney stock today, guys. We saw an insane move in Disney today. We're going to be talking about their new streaming service very quickly. And if this, in my personal opinion, poses a threat to Netflix and Netflix stock in general. So before we do get into all of these different topics, all I ask from you guys out there watching is if you enjoy the content here, feel free to go down below and hit that like button. It really supports me and supports the channel in general. And if you're new to the channel, there are two links down below, one being the Discord group chat and the other one being the Facebook group. Both of those are 100% free of charge. And I guarantee you guys will find a ton of value in there. So let's just run through the overall markets very quickly, starting off with the S&P 500, the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. company. So at the time that I'm recording this video, we do have about 15 minutes left in the market. And we can see actually the SPX right now is up almost $18 up about 0.61%. So very solid green day today. And for those of you guys that have been paying attention, we actually had a massive gap up today. And from that gap up, I believe we were up about 22 points at that point. We really haven't been pushing higher from there. We've pretty much just been consolidating and holding these levels from that gap up, but we did drop a bit from here. We dropped about 10 points. But other than that, we've been holding this general area of about 2,900 to 2,910, pretty much the entire day today. Let's go over here to the Dow Jones very quickly. This one's doing exceptionally well today, mostly because of the massive move we saw in Disney stock. This one's up nearly 1%. Up about 250 points here with about 14 minutes left today in the market. And again, absolutely insane day so far today for Disney and the Dow Jones. And the Nasdaq is up about 0.4%. The least green out of the bunch, but still a pretty solid green day today. We're finally breaking out of that resistance at about $76.30. We're up about $30 right now, nearly $30 with about 14 minutes left in the market. So let's hop back over here to the SPX very quickly. Let's talk about some technical points. It seems like today, guys, with this big gap up, we pushed to yet again another high or high. In yesterday's video, remember what I was saying, guys? Remember, I was saying that right now we're coming into earnings season, right? A lot of the big name companies are reporting their earnings. And this is going to be a point in time where the market is really going to either pop to the upside or pop to the downside. And I was saying this because we were in a point in time where we were consolidating over the past really four, five, six days. We can see that right here. And it was setting up for again either a pop or a push to the downside. And we can see today, although not many companies reported earnings, just the banks, you know, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, we saw that and talked about those in yesterday's video, we still got a pop to the upside here. And it seems like we're testing that 2905 level to the 29010 level here of resistance, which was a, I believe it was a support, right? Yeah, it was a support from back in towards the end of September and 2018. So that is the level we are currently at right now. We popped above that level a bit earlier in the morning with that gap up. But since then, we're dropping down more towards that level of support and just really maintaining that level. So for this upcoming week, guys, again, today's Friday, the market's going to be open on Monday again, obviously, we're going to be looking, are we going to be trading maybe between the 2905 level to the 2905 level? Are we going to break out of that 2905 level and test all-time highs? This is what I'm going to be watching for this upcoming week. And guys, we're about 35 points away from all-time highs, all-time highs right now in the SPX, which is mind-blowing. It's crazy to think that, or to see that rather. So the Dow Jones, again, very solid day today. It seems like we're testing that resistance from a couple of days ago at $26,000 or $26,000 rather, $400, right? We saw the rejection there, which was a previous support from back towards the end of September and 2018. We got the rejection there at $26,400 on the Dow Jones. We sold down. We broke the $26,200 level of support. We ended up testing the $26,100 level yesterday. And with today's pop, we broke out of the $26,200 level of resistance. And now we're trending right below this level yet again, guys. So for this week, or next week, rather, what are we going to be seeing? Are we going to see a break out of $26,400 the resistance we are right now? And if we do see that, we're going to be trading between that level as a new support at $26,400 and the next resistance, which is at about $26,800. And guys, we're almost there again in the Dow Jones at all-time highs. We're very, very close right now. We're about 600 points off from that near $27,000 all-time high that we saw back in the beginning towards the end of September and beginning of October in 2018. So keep an eye on those levels, very important levels for this upcoming week. And the NASDAQ, again, like I mentioned a couple of minutes ago, we ended up breaking that resistance at about $76,30 that we saw here. And we're actually getting a confirmation that we're holding that level as a new support. We see the breakup got rejected a little bit by that resistance from the other day at about $76,50. And now we're pulling back, but we see the green candlestick forming above that level of the old resistance, which is now a new support, which is a good sign that it wants to hold that level as a new support. So not much to honestly say in terms of the NASDAQ, but we're just extremely close right now, guys. I think the NASDAQ is actually the closest of the bunch to these all-time highs. We're literally about a percent off at this point, which is really just one strong green day away from us getting to those all-time highs. So for this upcoming week, make sure and just keep an eye on this level of support. Are we going to maintain that level as well as the 50 simple moving average level of support? Let's say we break these levels. The next spot I'm going to be looking at is going to be around $7,500, $7,525, which is the next support if we were to break these levels. So that's what I'm looking at in terms of the NASDAQ. Again, not too much to talk about. Really it's just having a slight green day here. We're pushing up, which is a good sign that the market does want to see those all-time highs and it does want to test those all-time highs. So that's really the market update today, guys. Again, nothing crazy, but nonetheless it was a pretty solid, solid green day, especially in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. So let's talk about a quick trading update to be honest, guys. These past couple of days with my trading, it's been a bit quiet. I haven't been making too many moves. You know that I'm in Nvidia and AMD and both of those stocks, they haven't been doing much. AMD is up a little bit. Nvidia dropped a little bit today. They're both just hovering around where I ended up buying them and I'm really just flat on the positions to be quite frank with you all. So I don't really feel the need to go through those positions, but for all you that don't know or didn't watch my video yesterday or the three stocks I'm swing trading in April video, the gist of it is I'm holding AMD right now due to us maintaining the 50 simple moving average here on the 184-hour chart and I do want to see it maintain the $28 level as a new support. It seems like or it seemed like this morning that we were going to hold those levels, but we briefly popped up to I believe $28.38 at the open and from there we just sold off, right? We didn't maintain that level. I was hoping we were going to maintain 28 and pop up a little bit at that point. I would have added more money, but we just didn't get that today, right? So I'm just holding my initial position over the weekend and that's what I'm doing in terms of AMD and Nvidia stock guys, a lot of the same, right? It popped down a little bit and really we're just maintaining that level of support at 188-189 and we're also maintaining the 50 simple moving average support here on the 184-hour chart, which gives me confidence here to just hold these shares over the weekend. Again, I'm in with a very small position right now and if we do maybe open up red on Monday down to 3%, whatever I'd probably cut losses there, but the thing is I'm not going to be losing as much money as I would have been losing if I went in with 100% of my goal position right off the bat, right? Which is why I always talk about in these videos, scaling into your swing trades, especially your swing trades in the stock market, right? But one new position I ended up adding today to my swing portfolio ended up being Apple. We saw a pretty decent dip today on Apple down to about 196 and I ended up buying a bit of shares here at about 197.30 as we found the bottom and started to reverse on this little V pattern here, right? We sold off aggressively. We got some news on analysts, I believe, actually downgrading Apple due to their earnings for the iPhone expected to be weak again this quarter, but I just viewed this as a short-term buying opportunity for a short-term swing and the technicals are supporting that decision, right? We ended up bouncing and I'm up nearly a dollar per share on that position right now and I'm scaling into it. Another reason why I like Apple is because we're really maintaining that level of resistance, the old resistance, which is now a new support at around 196, and we're also maintaining the 50 simple moving average support here as well. If we do end up popping back up into the 200s, that's going to be a level where I would want to sell the shares, but as of now, again, I'm in with a small position with the goal of swinging these shares into the $200 level. Let's just talk about Disney very quickly, guys, ticker symbol D-I-S. This stock went absolutely parabolic today, guys, and we were up 10% pre-market hours or 8% or something like that. We ended up scaling all the way up to 12% and right now, it's looking to close the day up nearly 12% up $13. This was the biggest move in Disney, I believe, in a 10-year span. I do have an article here that I want to pull up that really talks about Disney and Netflix and comparing the two with some analysts' opinions that I'm going to give you guys my personal opinion. Let's see. Disney shares are surging, but some analysts are not sold on the streaming service. Disney on Thursday announced its much-anticipated streaming platform. This is something that we've been anticipating ourselves over the past couple of months. This isn't really news to us. However, some analysts covering the streaming space are doubtful of Disney's ability to disrupt Netflix's dominant position. We do not view Disney as a strong alternative to Netflix, says SunTrustTech analyst Matthew Thornton. Bottom line, Disney Plus features family content while Netflix offers a much broader range of content with the majority of the most searched content on the platform. This is something that I have to agree with, guys. I've done my research on the Disney platform. I know myself that it is mostly a family-friendly space. There might not be a lot of those action thriller movies, gory movies that a lot of people like to watch, which are on Netflix, which really can deter people from going to Disney and really stick to Netflix. This is something that really could keep people on the Netflix platform. We still do not view it as a major threat to Netflix subscriber numbers given Netflix's quality and quantity of content, along with the global secular shift towards streaming, says JP Morgan analysts. So, really, we see here shares of Disney on our track to hit 10-year high, okay, okay. But the main thing is that Netflix already has a solid brand name.  So for Disney to really make a dent into this market, they really have to start funneling a lot, a lot, a lot of content, original content, and really just build the brand name for themselves, right? Because let's be honest, guys. Netflix has no competitors right now, except for Disney and maybe Apple here in a couple of months once their service comes out. But let's be real. Hulu was once a competitor maybe a couple of years ago, but they're squashed, guys. No one watches Hulu at this point. You know, it's all Netflix and really just Disney needs to make a dent into this. And that's what they're honestly trying to do, right? The Media Giant on Thursday announced as much anticipated streaming service, okay, we already talked about that. You know, a lot of the things that Bob Iger was saying, which is the CEO of Disney, he was saying that Disney's brand itself should bring a lot of new customers to the platform, which I guess it's a pretty good argument because Disney does have an insane brand and a brand name, and the brand name itself could bring customers to the platform, especially those that have, you know, younger kids, especially since it's going to be a family-friendly service. You can see what types of content they're, you know, what's it called, marketing here.  And, you know, this is going to bring a lot of younger kids to this platform. So Disney stock surge 12% best day since 2009. Actually, Netflix fell as well. Again, however, some analysts are covering the streaming space are doubtful of Disney plus ability to disrupt Netflix's dominant position. Okay, we talked about that already. And okay, let's see some other stuff here. JP Morgan's Disney analysts said doesn't post a threat to Netflix. While we expect Disney plus will likely be the most competitive streaming streaming offering to Netflix, we do not view that as a big competitor to the subscriber numbers. Disney is entering an increasingly competitive streaming war with rivals, Netflix, Hulu, which I don't really think is a big, big competitor here, Amazon fighting for the market share, while various media companies such as Apple and NBC jumping on the streaming banner. There goes the market. Disney expects to ramp up its original content from $1 billion to $2 billion from 2020 to 2024, guys. So the thing here, the bottom line is a lot of businesses want the piece of the pie, right? Netflix has really almost a monopoly at this point, right? Streaming is the future. People are cutting cables, which are cable services, which is why Disney's coming in. Apple, you see Amazon, Hulu, even YouTube starting to make some original content. All of these companies want a piece of the pie and Netflix has most of that pie. It's just who is going to take most of that pie from them. So is Netflix dead, right? Is Disney going to overtake Netflix? It's going to take a little bit of time here, guys. Nothing happens overnight. But in the next year or two with Apple coming in, my personal opinion is that, yes, this does pose a pretty big threat against Netflix, but Netflix is pouring a ton of money. They're burning a ton of cash now into their originals. They've built a brand already, a pretty strong brand name of Netflix, Netflix and Chill, all that different stuff. So it's going to be difficult, but I'm sure excited. I'm very, very excited to see what ends up happening. And let me know in the comments down below, what do you guys think? Is Disney going to overrule Netflix? Is Apple going to come in and really overthrow Disney and Netflix? Is Netflix going to remain king here in the next couple of years? Oh, and another thing I want to mention is that Disney, their service is actually going to be cheaper than Netflix. I believe it's like $7.99 or $6.99 a month or something like that. So that could be another factor that people consider that it's really half of the price of what Netflix is right now. So again, drop a comment down below. Let me know what you guys think about this. So on Sundays, guys, I want to mention this here right now. On Sundays, I talk about 10 to 15 stocks that I'm looking at. And I actually take suggestions from you guys out there watching these videos. If you want me to talk about any stocks in particular on Sunday for the next week, drop a comment down below right now on this video or go to the call out section in our Discord group chat and drop the ticker symbol in there. And I'll talk about the stocks or ETFs if I see potential in them in the next video as well as a bunch that I'm personally watching as well for the upcoming week. So I'm going to end off the video here, guys. You know, stocks I'm watching next week.

All right, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Let me welcome you to this high-level side event on the Blue Economy that is being held on the sidelines of the celebrations that are going on here in Nairobi. And I would presume around the world as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the UN Environment Program. And as we are gathered here today to commemorate the 50 years of the United Nations Environmental Program, it is important that we take a step back and reflect on the ocean, because there is no doubt that the Blue Economy is currently the most widespread economic platform globally. The water bodies of the world covering over 70% of the earth remain a major source of wealth, creating value in trillions of dollars in goods and services across multiple sectors and sub-sectors. To improve the state of the oceans, it's essential for biological diversity for our health and for the climate. Just how to do so is the key question. And the conversation on the Blue Economy is most certainly a part of the answer. However, a sustainable Blue Economy requires, first and foremost, healthy, well-managed and stable ecosystems, innovation and environmental progress must also help us to make use of the sea and its resources, but without over-utilization. Today's session was very phenomenal in terms of setting that agenda and acting as a reference. Where do we go from here? How do we carry on those declarations and agreements and engagements and conversations that went on throughout the sustainable Blue Economy conference that was held in 2018 in Nairobi? Ladies and gentlemen, in Kenya, Blue Economy is expected to significantly contribute to the country's economic growth and investment development as envisaged in Kenya's long-term development print, the Vision 2030 and the Big Four initiatives. At present, there are continent-wide frameworks that inform the sustainable management of Africa's Blue Economy resources. Our global focus and utilization of the blue are spaces which include ocean seas and inland water spaces, continue to expand and diversify. I see this as an extremely exciting period for the private sector to come in and help to finance the move towards a sustainable planet but also to help us to deliver not just STG-14, but all of the STGs. Thank you. There are a number of issues that came out today, like involving the community. It was one of the issues that was raised and it was taken as a... that we should involve the community. That's exactly what we are doing and I think we need to do even more. Involve more people from the grassroots so that in both giving of ideas and supporting them. There's also facilitation. We are able to come up with a facilitation to all those guys who are interested. There's something else that we have not been doing much, the involvement of the private sector. It was also resty and noted that there is key that we should involve the private sector. Those are the guys who are going to finance. We as government just give enabling environments to do business. So that will also come out and I was happy with that. The Stockholm Environment Institute is an international research institute that was founded to bridge science, policy and practice. We've done that since 1989. We were created just about four years before the Rio Summit and we continue to do so in the kind of work that we are working on. We were created as a legacy of the Stockholm Conference, what's called the United Nations Conference on Human Environment, which was in 1972. And that is why we are proud of course now to join UNEP in celebrating 50 years. And with that we're also much more proud because we have been given the honor by the Swedish government to lead the coordination of the science report for the Stockholm Pass 50 Conference which is coming up in June. And I know we've been in consultation with many different scientific groups so that we make sure that we really engage particularly for countries in the developing South in Latin America, in Asia and in Africa. We are meeting here today for the launching event of this quite a nice book about research, science and innovation to harness the blue economy. This is an important topic for UNEP because the blue economy can capitalize important elements of the issues that are facing oceans. Oceans stand at the center of the triple planetary crisis of pollution, nature loss and climate change. And it offer an integrated approach to address policy areas in a concerted way to into a concerted transition pathway to blue economy. Science, knowledge and innovation as a cornerstone of a blue economy we need to understand the complexity of the system with the natural ecosystems, the social systems and the economic systems. There are a lot of recent knowledge that suggest that the blue economy provide endless resources if sustained managed in a sustainable way. It's important that this kind of global ecosystems are harnessed with the participation and support of the entire global community and that is why the occasion of the 15th anniversary of UNEP is extremely important. We will be continuing with these efforts particularly to turn scientific knowledge into tangible investment. This is part of the conversation we are having here today so that communities that depend on blue economies, particularly Africa, small island development states can actually also benefit because at the moment they are actually marginalized. It's an honor to have this book here. I'll be a university very instrumental and humble partner in organizing the Blue Economy Conference in 2018 which I must admit was a global moment for the whole blue economy debate and it generated a lot of research, a lot of excitement and I'm very pleased to see this book now and I hereby officially declare it for launch. Thank you.


Here's a compound that I've made out of the little Mollymod kits. This particular one has one, two, three, four carbons and then a number of hydrogens around those. As a little aside, it's important that when you are drawing, and I'll draw this for you in just a moment in terms of its structural formula, you need to make sure that every carbon has four bonds. Now, occasionally they may bond with more than one bond between two atoms, but either way, they always need to have, all our carbons need to have four bonds. So it's a good quick way of double checking that you've drawn a molecule correctly. So this one has four. So if we were to draw this particular molecule, then it would look like this. So what I do is make sure that I've got enough bonds to ensure that there are four bonds around every carbon. And once I've put all of the important things that I need to put in, then I just fill everything else up with hydrogens. So in this case, it's all hydrogens around the carbons. So we have a four carbon and three, five, seven, ten hydrogens. So the molecular formula for this compound would be C4H10. But what's its name? Well, its name is the name that we give to a compound that has four carbons. So therefore, that would be its prefix. And its suffix would be the fact that there's only single bonds. So therefore, that's going to be an aim. So the name of this compound would be butane. When we're talking about methyl groups, what we're talking about is an additional hydrocarbon that sits on the side. Now, if I was to add this to this particular molecule, if I put it in the position on the end, then all I'm going to do is to increase the length of the chain. So now I have one, two, three, four, five. I have five carbons in this chain. And so therefore, since it's still only single bonds, it would now be called pent.
