Hello everybody and welcome to another action packed episode of Tomorrow News. Starship's got hot some rocket has been spinning, the human landing system has been delayed and version galactic might be alright so stay tuned as this is your episode of Tomorrow News which is for the week of November 18th 2021. I think it's only fair to start off with the biggest headline of the week and that is the roar from the Raptors in Boca Chica. For the first time ever all six Raptor engines that are underneath the Starship lit up simultaneously whilst attached to a vehicle. My favourite shot of the event was certainly this slow motion replay from Boca Chica gal, it really just seems to catch the raw power coming from the engines their way I haven't seen from any other angle. I'd recommend that you definitely make sure to head over to the NASA spaceflight channel to see more of their awesome angles of the static fire because their team has more cameras than I can remember. We also got this beautiful shot from SpaceX which allows us to see the reduction in starbrick loss. I can only see 11 blank patches of the thermal protection system but if you can see more then make sure to let us know in the comments. Now although Starship S20 is the one taking all the attention following that static fire, a few more jobs have been done at Starbase. For starters Booster 2.1 test tank and the ground service equipment for tank were moved down the road from the production facility to the launch site where they are currently waiting for their testing regimes to begin. We've seen SpaceX playing around with spot robots from Boston Dynamics before and we have now again with Apollo being spotted going out for a walk last Tuesday. Here's another one for all Ukraine fans out there, a simple crane building has been taking place and whoa, where did that wide bay come from? Construction has really started shifting here as a lot of work has been happening over the last few weeks. Some Booster forward dome sleeving action has also been taking place as Booster 6's forward dome has been sleeved and the sleeve for Booster 7's forward dome has also been spotted which is what you can see here. SpaceX's mission control in Hawthorne has had a bit of a makeover moving from an empty room full of fold up looking tables to an empty room but this time it has a freshly painted floor on new desks that are actually straight and they even treated everyone to some new monitors. How kind. Something that happened on November 15th that wasn't so kind was an anti-satellite test conducted by Russia on a Soviet-era satellite Cosmos 1408. Last tracked intact at a 485 kilometer altitude, the satellite has now been broken up into over 1500 trackable pieces and a predicted large amount of untrackable pieces which has spread into the path of the International Space Station. This forced the crew aboard the station to take shelter for around two hours in their respective Soyuz and Dragon vehicles so if something worked collide with the ISS the crew could evacuate back to Earth quickly. A statement from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson read, with its long and storied history in human spaceflight it is unthinkable that Russia would endanger not only the American and international partner astronauts on their ISS but also their own cosmonauts. Ben Wallace, the Defence Minister of the UK, has said this destructive anti-satellite test by Russia shows a complete disregard for the security, safety and sustainability of space. There was already a meeting scheduled between Nelson and Dmitry Rogozin, Director-General of Roscosmos the following day but the topics discussed over the phone were obviously changed. This tweet from Rogozin says that they are moving on from the incident and that joint plans are being made to ensure crew safety on orbit. There is also a possibility that this debris will cause issues for China's Tiangong-3 space station although they haven't come out and said anything publicly at the time of writing. South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed concerns with them asking that quote, all nations are to act responsibly in space to ensure peaceful and sustainable use of space and to work together to advance related international rules. Something notable is that, unlike the messages from the US and UK governments, Russia's name isn't mentioned, the message isn't at everybody and that may be because it isn't only Russia who has conducted these tests. Most recently China performed an ASAT in 2007 which has been a hazard for both other satellites and the International Space Station. The only difference here is the nation shooting down the satellite is one off if not the largest contributor to the ISS which is what makes this situation so equally scary and baffling. I personally hope things like this stop happening but sadly only time will tell. Artemis III which is going to be the first mission to encompass the use of the human landing system vehicle has been pushed back by a minimum of one year to 2025. Now although the goal set in 2019 was ambitious there has also been a certain lawsuit from a certain Blue Origin which definitely got in the way of the talks between NASA and SpaceX. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has said that the lawsuit was not the only reason for the delay but it was a major factor. Because of US law NASA was only able to restart talks about HLS with SpaceX once the outcome of the lawsuit had been determined, that obviously being that Blue Origin has lost. Another factor was funding as NASA had asked Congress for $3.3 billion dollars towards HLS in the fiscal year 2021 budget proposal but they only provided $850 million. That's just a smidge over 25% the original amount that they asked for. The second Artemis mission and the first to carry humans inside Orion, Artemis II, has also been delayed, shifting from a 2023 launch to a net date of May 2024. There's also been a global pandemic if you haven't noticed which might have something to do with the delays as well. Following that statement, Senior Chinese Lunar Programme Designer and Engineer Yi Pijian told CCTV that this Chinese could be walking on the moon as soon as 2030 so hopefully those words could spur on some US government officials. Even though Virgin Galactic has had to push their next flight to late 2022, the company has still seen plenty of interest from people who have the money to take a joy ride to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. After reopening ticket sales at the end of August, the company is reporting that they have sold around 100 tickets at the price of $450,000. Now the customers don't pay all that figure straight away, it's lower 150,000 deposit, 25,000 of which is non-refundable so I do hope the 700 odd people who still have tickets still want to keep them. And just because they've only sold 100 tickets doesn't mean that there isn't more interest as over 60,000 people have contacted Virgin Galactic with an interest in buying one. VSS Imagine, the first Spaceship 3 vehicle, will also be coming online through Act 2023 which will be able to assist with the demand from the customers. That's all the main news this week, so let's have a look at some space traffic. Launching at 02.03 UTC on November 11th from Historic Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the third commercial crew mission got off to a fantastic start, carrying the crew of Rajachari, the first rookie commander of a NASA mission in 48 years. The last rookie-to-commander mission was Gerald Carr, who commanded Skylab 4 back in 1973. Chai was joined by pilot Thomas Marshburn, as well as mission specialist Caleb Barron and Metias Marra. Even though on the webcast we got Blue Screen, B1067 did successfully land for the second time on a shortfall of Gravitas. Dragon Endurance attempted to impersonate a Soyuz speedrun, but they missed by 18 hours and 26 minutes, as the 21 hours and 29 minute launch to docking time didn't really compete with the world record of three hours and three minutes, which was set by Soyuz MS-17. Crew 3 docked to the ISS's Harmony Module at 23.32 the same day, and a couple hours later, the hatch opened and the crew on board the station welcomed Crew 3 to their home for the next five months. The next launch to cover is the first launch of Starlink Shell 4, which on any normal day would be a pretty mundane launch to cover. But for the first time that I can think of, the Florida weather was on our side and gave us one of the most spectacular launches we have ever seen. Launching at 12.19 UTC on November the 13th from Slick 40, B1058 broke the fog and started its ninth mission to space, carrying 53 Starlink satellites to a 540 km low Earth orbit. The vehicle successfully touched down on just read the instructions as it awaits its tenth assignment from SpaceX. Launching its own 927 Coordinated Universal Time on November 16th, this Vega rocket lifted off from ELV-1 at the Guyana Space Center in French Guyana, carrying 1,548 kilos worth of Ceres-1, Ceres-2 and Ceres-3 to a 75 degree inclination low Earth orbit. Next up, we're heading to the Southern Hemisphere, more specifically Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1A, which is on the Mejia Peninsula in New Zealand, where at 01.38 UTC on November the 18th, this electron rocket carried two 60 kg micro-satellites to a 430 km low Earth orbit for the Seattle-based company Black Sky. Even though we did get this awesome onboard shot from the helicopter, we couldn't see the first stage come back to Earth on the broadcast, but we did get Twitter confirmation from Rocket Lab CEO Peter Begg that the first stage had splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. Coming up over the next seven days, we have Astra's next flight attempt along much 4B launch and along much 2C launch. And here is your space weather with Dr. Tonya Peskov. Space weather this week is definitely quieted down compared to all the fireworks we had last week, with all the solar flares and that big solar storm that was Earth directed. As we take a look at the Earth-facing disc, we still see four regions on the Earth-facing disc, including region 2891 that's beginning to rotate off of the Sun's west limb. This is the region that launched that massive solar storm that gave us that big G3 level impact at Earth and brought Aurora clear down to places like Wyoming and Utah and Nevada and Joshua Tree California for goodness sake. It was amazing to see all that Aurora, but really the region that we're looking at right now is region 2895 and that's showing a little bit of activity. We've got about a 5% chance of M-class flares, but look at this back on the ninth, WAMO! That's region 2891 giving us one more kind of kiss goodbye with an M2-class flare and a big solar storm. Luckily this solar storm is not Earth directed. In fact, this region is actually occulted so likely that flare was much larger than an M2, could even have been an X-class, especially when we look at the coronagraph observations that show how fast that big solar storm is being launched. So it definitely could be a much bigger game on the Sun's far side and we'll have to wait for another two weeks for that region to rotate back into view, but we're definitely going to be anticipating it. Meanwhile, outside of that we don't have all that much going on. We do have a bit of a coronal hole that's going to be rotating into the Earth strike zone over the next couple days. It's going to give us just a little bit of fast solar wind, but probably only enough to give us some storming, small amount of storming over the weekend at high latitudes. Outside of that we're really not looking too good. In fact, as we switch to the far side of the Sun, this is Stereo A and it's looking at the Sun pretty much from the side. You can see those regions are really the only players on the disk right now. In the south we do have a coronal hole that's going to be rotating into Earth view. It's not quite showing up much yet in Earth view, but that could give us some more storming in about 10 days or so and then we might have a couple regions that are going to rotate into Earth view here in a few more days and those could boost that solar flux because we're actually sitting in the mid 80s for solar flux, which means marginal radio propagation on Earth's day side.

We still need more coal from him to the deck Go get the coal and throw some into the fire before going to sleep Great so wait so he wants us to go Down there again right down the hatch.

The deck is clean We do my potato sacks go get some bro, I'm honestly I Think this is the part I hate the most having to go down there every single time But I guess as a crew member of this steamboat We got to do what we got to do, you know in order to survive out here in the ocean So here we are I just hear some Footsteps. I'm tripping bro potatoes. I'm tripping bro.  Okay, I need to go talk to me, bro.  I already know this Why did I have to come talk to him? Oh potatoes Why can't we just eat them like that? Like just take a bite out of the potato man? Instead of chopping them.  Oh cool. So So he actually did the coal feeding for us, which is actually nice of him. I Think he's starting starting to like him just a teeny bit not not too much because he does freak me out Oh a sink of the mile time to party, bro Time to party on the boat That's not one about because we're here to party Okay, oh my god, we're back to our daily deck cleaning, huh? It's time to lick hopeless But the deck must remain shiny Aye aye captain, you know what captain as an elder on the steamboat I'm tired of cleaning floors life and like you should volunteer as well man.  I'm starving wait So he wants me to go down there, right? Because ain't no way oh there. Oh, we actually are out of potatoes this time by the time we get back to land I need no more potatoes because I'm gonna be disgusted and tired of eating potatoes Why can't I just grab these right here, you know, just a little in and out real quick Instead of having to go all the way in that's coal Potatoes no that has to see on it, bro That is more coal Okay, where's the potatoes at all right, so I was down there for like ever I Couldn't find any potatoes. I don't know if that's part of the game or not, but I'm gonna go see if I Go talk to mr. Mouse and Something's going up because something going on. I mean because I legit looked around And there's no potatoes down there. I Was hoping there would be a sack up here, but there is it. I don't know. Let's go have a word with them if you can No more you say okay, so I wasn't going crazy man. I swear No need to worry real figure this out. We should have coal free of the fire. So it doesn't have star Gotcha All right, so we ran out of food apparently. I don't know what the heck we're gonna have to do. Oh No, I did see like I did see like bones down there Maybe he previously ran out of potatoes in the past and he ate the crew members I feel like that's a possibility. I guess we will have to wait and see you can go on rest now. I Think our days our days are counted now Our days are definitely numbered on the steamboat because we have no more food to play Unless we fish for food, but I don't know man. I Don't know. I feel like this rat.  He's just like standing there Can you take the wheel for a while? I could sleep every once in a while All right, man Got my eyes on you. Why is it so all it's nighttime Okay, he left I Guess he went downstairs in the hatch and Here we are steering the boat once again I don't know where we're going bro. It's like super dark Like how can you even tell where we're headed? I Guess you can't that's why we just let Jesus take the wheel. All right, man. I don't know what I'm doing But I'm steering this thing left and right Hopefully we'll crash it to an iceberg or something Dude, he cannot keep doing this He keeps doing this every single time It's gonna give me a heart attack Or what are you saying? I can take him here go rest Like straight up mumbling bro. It's like a mumble rapper All right after bad we go But what day is it I think it's day five right or day six day 19. Oh man. I am totally lost in the sauce bro. I Thought it was like day Five I hear like different type of music this time I feel like he's losing it All right, let's go through the deck. I don't know why I have a strange feeling about this dude Like his tone His tone just changed on us. I wish I could ask you to come more potatoes Throw some cold into the fire whether do whatever. Oh Man, I think those tongue is getting to him the starvation.  I Know he's gonna lose it and then he's gonna try to eat us because there's no more source of food, I Mean I guess I'm the only source of food left on this boat besides him It's either me or him, you know, and he's the captain and he's gonna pick himself over me You should rest now Even the music is like I'm like, you know that music sounds like your time has come to an end already. Oh Man, this is gonna be tough This is gonna be a tough one Okay, day 20 The May 16, what is that bogus? Hey, what's all that ruckus out there, man? I think he's probably banging his head on something I just heard a door up. Oh, no Mr. Mouse Where'd it go? Is he in here? Oh, he's gonna be in the hatch, huh? He's gonna be down the hatch. Oh, no Dude, we're going down there again It would have been scary if you would have just been out here standing, you know And the darkness in the middle of the storm All right. Well, it was last thawing you ladies and gentlemen. I Was once a crew member of the steamboat Because I feel like my days or my time here Has come to an end as we face You know how we have no food, right? Well, figure it out.

Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Hope everybody had a good rest. Hope everybody had a good trading day. And hopefully everybody just enjoying and are happy and fulfilled with their lives. Thank you very much for tuning in and showing us continued support. If you are brand new to the channel, guys, all we ask is support the channel. Just like, share, subscribe, tell a friend, all that good stuff so we can continue to help you down the road of unbiased technical analysis. So let's dive right into it. So last week, very, very aggressive week after two weeks, two and a half weeks of a 6% plus decline in the Nasdaq 100. Last week, we saw the opposite. We saw more than 6.6% gain on the index. Obviously, all the other indexes rose as well. But our focus, my focus is obviously the Nasdaq 100, the high beta mega cap space. And the question was going into today's session was, well, we've got a 6.6% move in one week. Can they continue to build? Can they continue to build? Obviously, after a 6.6% move, there's always going to be an opportunity that say, hey, you know what, be careful. Don't look at the overextended names because there's always potential for a rug pull. Here is the curveball. And this is kind of where new traders make the mistake all the time. So above the 50-day moving average is bullish. Below the 50-day moving average is bearish. Is it bullish for every single stock? Absolutely not. Is it bearish for every single stock? Below the 50-day moving average? Absolutely not. It's all case by case basis. But when an index ETF underlying security, whatever the case might be, is above the 50-day moving average, the higher it stays or the higher probability it's going to start pulling everything up. The biggest mistake I see new traders continuously do is this. When the market gets below the 50-day moving average and starts going down day one, day two, the market's oversold. How can you sell stock? And it goes down three weeks later. Now the market's going up day two above the 50-day moving average. The market's overbought. It's day two above the 50-day moving average. These are not big, these are not little levels. These are not insignificant events. These are big deals, guys. This is the start of a trend. Not a trade, but a trend. And the longer we discuss it over the weekend video, the longer we stay and continue to build above the 50-day moving average, the higher probability most stocks will continue to get pulled up and the higher probability that every single dip will get bought. That's exactly what a bull market action is above the 50-day moving average. The opposite is valid as well to the downside, right? The longer we were below the 50-day moving average, every single rally, every single video we kept on saying, stop buying the gaps, right? Stop buying the gap-ups because every single time you buy a gap-up underneath supplied is a higher probability it's going to get stuffed at supply, get rejected and start taking out the previous day's channel. Well, that's the opposite what we're seeing now. This morning we saw a gap-up, right? A little bit of a gap-up, a little bit of a run, a slight pull, and guess what happened on the pull? Stocks got bought up. So the longer we stay above the 50-day moving average, the stocks that had big runs, they're probably going to continue to be bit up into rising support, whether it's the rising 60-minute support or the rising daily support. But the last thing you want to do is try to time the market. Nobody can time the market. We don't know anything, guys. The most experienced trader out there does not have a crystal ball. We could only prepare ourselves for both sides of the market and then just kind of get out of the way and let price action tell us which way we should be right and which way we should have confirmation. But the last thing you should be doing, especially as a new trader, and I saw this throughout the whole weekend at the open on buying puts. Why? Why? I don't understand the logic. Why? Because you think the market's going to come down? It's the same reason as people were talking about when the market was coming in, day two, day three, below the 50-day moving average, talking about on buying calls at the open. No way the market go down again. No way, right? Absolutely no way. We're day two, right? We were day two below the 50-day moving average and the keys were at 365. No way they can go low, right? Absolutely no way, okay? They went all the way down to 342. So the idea that you're waking up in the morning, waking up this morning or waking up tomorrow morning and say, this is the day the market's going to reverse. And maybe it does, right? Think about it. It's common sense. Gravity is real. We just had a 6% plus move. Of course, there's going to be a day that the market eventually gives back. But here's the key, right? And write this down. If you've never gotten anything out of this broadcast or anything out of me, and again, I'm doing this, it makes me nearly a quarter of a century from me, okay? Just understand this part, okay? This is the most basic part of technical analysis. Write this down. A stock cannot go higher, okay? If it doesn't take out the previous day's range. Write that down. A stock cannot go higher, okay? So if the previous day's high is 100, okay? It cannot go higher unless it takes out that 100 and starts building. A stock cannot go lower if it doesn't take out the previous day's range lows, right? So if the previous day's low is 100 and today's low is 101, I promise you the stock's not going to go lower. It might trickle down, but it won't go lower. So this is the most basic stuff. And if you look at all the candles in the last week or so, what's the common denominator, right? This candle took out this candle. This candle took out this candle. This candle took out this candle. Higher, higher, higher. We're making higher highs. The only way the market becomes a short, say, for example, for tomorrow, right? Again, anything could happen. The only way, at least the day could become a short. I don't want to use the word market becomes a short, because again, as long as we're above the 50 day, the only way tomorrow becomes a short is if the queues lose today's lows range, okay? It cannot go lower if we don't lose today's range. So the idea that you're guessing, right? The idea that you're anticipating guessing, trying to outsmart the market when you're basically what you're doing is you're trying to outsmart yourself, just wait, take a deep breath, right? Take a deep breath, okay? You don't need to go into tomorrow talking about, that's it. I'm buying puts at the open. Take a deep breath, calm yourself down, right? Go to a sauna in the morning, do some yoga in the morning. Hell, if you have to take a shot of Hennessy, right?  And just remember, if it doesn't take out the previous day's low, it's not a short. The same way, if it doesn't take out the previous day's high, it's not a long. Understand the dynamics of the market. This has nothing to do with the PS60 theory. This is the most basic thing of technical analysis. The day's long, has to confirm, the day's short, has to confirm, and that's where it all gets. And right now, if you're looking at every single stock that had big, big runs over the last week or so, look what they did today, right? Look what they did today. That's a good, natural, organic flow of the market, right? Let's take a look at them one by one. Amazon today, right? Price improved, that's a good thing. Microsoft today, price improved, that's a good thing, right? Apple, we talked about Apple shaking off earnings over the weekend video, right? Price improved, that's a good thing. Netflix, right? Price improved, that's a good thing. You see where I'm going with this? So how can you sit there? And these are the biggest stocks, right? These are the biggest aggressive institutional money flow, and they're making higher highs. How can you turn around and say, this is the day I'm buying puts? Why? Just let them take out the previous day's range. That's all you need to do, right? Then you look at the names that are resting. AMD, right? AMD today, nice rest, right? Nice rest, had a big, big run up, rested today, right? You see, you notice today, it didn't take out the previous day's range? That's why AMD didn't go higher today, because it didn't take out the previous day's range. Look at Shopify, correct? Right? Look at Shopify. Did it take out yesterday's highs? No, that's why the stock didn't go higher. Like this should be like a light bulb moment going into every new trader's heads, right? The reason why it didn't go down, guess what? Because it didn't take out the previous day's low either. That's the whole point of an inside day. Very, very basic stuff, guys. And again, unfortunately, most new traders, if somebody doesn't tell you this, right, how would you ever possibly even learn this, right? And that's the whole point. This is why I'm trying to give little golden nuggets here on the YouTube channel. Obviously, in the webinar, we cut, you know, we literally tackle everything from night, from nut to bolt, man. There's no rocket that's not overturned. But these are basic things in your trading journey that you have to understand early on. You're still making these mistakes, trying to anticipate where the market's going to go. So, going into tomorrow, again, here's the key metric for the bulls. The QQQs, again, remember, the time is that we are staying above the 50-day moving average. Again, that's 364, right? That's what we reclaimed. So, as long as we're staying above the 364 level, that's bullish. Every dip, every dip, you need to be buying on rising support. The only time it becomes a short, ready? Da-da-da is when it takes out the previous day's low. And is it possible it happens tomorrow? Absolutely. Anything is possible. But the point is that is the key metric. Tomorrow, also, for earnings, let's see what we got here for earnings for tomorrow. Let's see, let's see, let's see. Let's see if anything juicy for tomorrow. Tomorrow, we got Rivian. We got eBay, Uber, Robinhood, nobody cares, Gilead. I think that is it. Akami. And Wednesday, we have Tullo, Disney, Roblox, Lyft. I think we're starting in a firm. Thursday, we have TTD, Wind Resorts, Wolverine Worldwide. I know next week. Next week is going to be the big one on the 21st of November. The following week, we have NVIDIA, which is going to be obviously a big support zone, a big support area, especially for the semiconductors. We'll see what happens there. So, let's talk about the pivots, right? Most of the day, stocks rested.  They tried to take them down, guess what? They didn't take out the previous day's channel, and they squeezed them back into the close. So, here was, here was basically all the pivots for the day. Again, I'm always prepared for both sides of the market. Tesla, guys, keep an eye on Tesla. Not every single stock had a success story today. Tesla, 21840 is the 200-day support if it builds below can flush. So, here is Tesla, right? So, it took out the 21840, lost the 200-day moving average, and put it below, went all the way down to 15. Again, was it supposed to be the biggest trade in the world today? No, but the key thing here is it lost its 200-day. What it did to its credit, it reclaimed the 200-day moving average on the close. So, you see how tight Tesla is getting here, right? You see how tight Tesla is getting here? You have the rising support here, the five-day rising, and you have now it's gotten rejected back to back days from Thursday, Thursday, excuse me, Friday's highs, and today's highs, you see the same area, right? This is, again, why Tesla didn't go higher today, got rejected below Friday's channel. So, starting to get tight here. It's going to be very, very curious to see which way Tesla finally confirms this week, but it's definitely, definitely getting tighter. Again, congratulations for all you guys who did catch that move on Tesla today. DraftKings, right? Either a dip to 33, again, that's the rising support, or 3421 needs to confirm. Here it was DraftKings. I was looking for that dip buy of DraftKings at 33 and never got there, unfortunately, put in a low of 3336. It's just a shame because what look would happen, right? DraftKings took out the previous days high, right? Took out the previous days range. That's why the stock went higher. It took out the previous days range, 3421, and traded up all the way up to 3514. This thing continuously looks higher. Good job for all you guys who took that as well. Crowd never got to 192. Apple, okay? We talked about Apple on the weekend update. 17780 rejected twice needs to build. Here was Apple, right? Rejected, here's this, 17780 rejected once. 17780 rejected twice. Today finally reclaimed 150 day and pretty much closed at the highs of the day of 17940. It's a really good move here. It looks higher, especially if the market continues higher. And NVIDIA. NVIDIA, I got along NVIDIA on the opening range high. 53 was Friday's channel. Again, do you see the theme here, right? Do you see the theme here? Stock took out the previous days channel, right? And look what happened. It went higher. That's the point. It took out the 53 level. I traded up all the way to 459. Big call buying coming in. Ironically, ahead of earnings, we saw some 475 and 480 calls expiring 1117. Remember, they report 1121. So it was very, very odd that they're buying almost 20 points out of the money calls ahead of their earnings. But we'll see, you know, we'll see exactly there. So that's it, guys. Okay, it's a very, very important lesson that every single year that goes by, you pick up something new. Hopefully on today's video, you learn something new. If this is the first time hearing it, again, just remember, just a little summary. For a stock to go higher, it has to take out the previous days highs. For a stock to get lower, it has to take out the previous days lows. Other than that, it's called an inside day. It didn't take out the highs. It didn't take out the lows. That's called a rest day. When that stock rests, you rest along with it. Guys, God bless everybody. Have a great evening. Let's go Jets. You know, I don't believe that. But let's go Jets. All right, guys. Have a great night, everybody.


What's happening? It's Shane here. And in today's video, we are going to be going over a highly requested topic. A few months back, I posted a video on the eight hardest majors in college. It did extremely well. People loved it. And it blew up to well over 250,000 views. And after the video, I got a bunch of requests to do a video on the easiest majors as well. And so that's what I'm going to be doing today. We are going to be going over the top 10 easiest majors in college. Now we are going to be basing this list off of four different things. The first one is the hours that students have to spend studying. The second one is the average GPA that students have. The third one is the average IQ of students who go into different majors. And then the fourth one is just my own subjective experience. So let's jump right into it right after you gently tap that like button. Let's aim for 3000 likes on this video. Also hit the subscribe button and ring the notification bell. I think only about 17, 18% of people who watch the channel are subscribed. So go ahead, hit the subscribe button. Don't be a lurker. Help me out here. And let's jump right into it. All right. So number 10 on this list, a very common degree. I think a lot of people are going to be a little surprised that this one isn't lower on the list. But it is still relatively difficult compared to a lot of the other ones. And that is going to be psychology. This is actually the most common degree that people graduate with out of all the different degrees out there. And I can definitely see why it's very interesting. I personally took extra classes in psychology. Very interesting stuff. So the average GPA for psychology students was about 3.3. And the average weekly study hours was only 13.5. That's actually very low to put that in context. Architecture students study 22 hours a week on average. Now there's plenty of big brain people who go into psychology. It is one of those things that's a little bit introspective. And so there's a lot of smart people out there that are attracted to it. And on top of that, there is a growing need for more and more mental health professionals out there. But I think a lot of people don't realize that it's very difficult, very difficult to get a job, never mind a good job, with just a bachelor's degree in psychology.  Number nine is going to be business degrees. And specifically, I chose business administration. So business degrees in general don't tend to be all that difficult. Just from personal experience, I lived in a scholarship hall with 50 guys, I'd say, you know, a few of them, like maybe 10 of them or so, were business majors. And they were just partying all the time, right? They were having a great time. Whereas the people who were engineering majors, health majors, science majors, et cetera, were studying a lot. Now the average GPA for business administration majors is going to be 3.2. And the average weekly study hours is about 13.5. So again, very, very low. Now the great thing about business majors, and I get some flak for this on the channel, but I'm literally just looking up the statistics, is even though they're relatively easy, they still have pretty good outcomes when it comes to your return on investment in college, the numbers are actually pretty decent for business majors. So you know, a lot of the time people will ask me, you know, I'm not really a classroom person, I'm not really a book person, but I still want to get a college degree, but I'm really worried that it's going to be too hard for me and I'm going to have to drop out. So what degree should I look at?  So next one on the list, number eight is going to be English. Now a lot of people probably expected this to be lower on the list as well, like number five or number three. But funny enough, one of the most difficult classes I took during college was an English class. And the thing about English class and literature in general, is it tends to be extremely subjective. So you could write a great paper, but if the professor just doesn't like it subjectively, they're not going to give you a great grade. But with that being said, the average GPA here is about 3.2, and they study about 16 hours per week. Now also, I do think that there are a lot of big brain people who tend to be attracted to English as well. Smart people tend to like to read books and in some cases even write them. But let's be honest, a lot of the time people in college are going to BS a good amount of their papers, they're going to write them at the last moment. And that is a skill in and of itself to be honest with you because that can be really valuable later on in life. So yeah, I could see an argument for this one being higher on the list or maybe even off the list. Let me know what you think down in the comments below. Number seven on the list is going to be individualized majors. And I've talked about this one before on the channel.   There's people who've created like YouTube studies majors and stuff like that. And I've talked about that before on the channel. There's other people who have created like video game studies majors. And most of the time this is not going to be a good idea for many, many different reasons. But you could technically create an individualized major that's very difficult. You could do like theoretical physics and the study of quantum mechanics or something like that. And it could be even harder than a physics degree, right? So that's why I didn't put it lower on the list. I could see some people thinking this might be the easiest one. But you could technically make it a lot harder. So that's why I decided to put it at number seven. Number six on the list is going to be an education degree. And there's actually a lot of different types of education degrees out there. The average GPA for this one was 3.6, which is very, very high. And average weekly study hours was 14. So again, not very many study hours. So yeah, education degrees, when you look at the statistics and stuff, definitely one of the easier ones. And this is one of those degrees where in my opinion, you should be able to graduate a lot earlier, right? So it really shouldn't take you four years to finish your education degree. If it does, there's likely something wrong with the college or maybe you're going a little bit too slow. So for instance, there was one client I was working with where the college they were going to, it was almost impossible to finish their education degree in four years. It took them six years to finish it. And in that case, it definitely wasn't the client's fault. It was the college's fault. So this college, obviously, I mean, I can't say for sure. But if a person ends up going for six years, the college ends up making more money. So I think they were doing it on purpose. And you really want to try to avoid colleges like that. Number five on the list is going to be kind of more of a general degree. This is going to be the first really, really general degree I talk about. And that is going to be liberal arts. So liberal arts is a type of major, but there's actually a specific degree that is called liberal arts. And this is basically where you study a little bit of psychology, a little bit of sociology, some history, some English literature, etc, etc, etc. You basically just study a little bit of everything that falls under the umbrella term of liberal arts.  And it's almost universally going to be interesting to study like a little bit of all kinds of different things like the 101 classes are designed to be really interesting to your average person. It's almost like a marketing thing. You take the 101 class, you really like it. And so you delve a lot more deeply into it. And that brings me to the next one on the list, number four, which is going to be studies degrees, gender studies, jazz studies, Canadian studies. This is where you delve very deeply into an extremely niche topic. And most of the time, unfortunately, these studies degrees aren't going to teach you any real world skills that you can use to make money and get a job. Now, to be fair, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't very difficult, right? So these can be on the difficult side. In some cases, it kind of depends on the professor because it can be very subjective. But many of them are not going to be very hard. And they're probably in something that you are very interested in in the first place. So that makes it even easier. But yeah, studies degrees, not that difficult, would say you should probably avoid them like 99% of the time. Number three on the list is going to be communications degrees. So there's a bunch of different ones, but I chose public relations and advertisements specifically. Average GPA is about 3.0. So that is on the lower side. But the average weekly study hours is 12. That is actually the lowest on the entire list. Communications degrees in general are kind of known as the athletes degree, right? Somebody who knows that they're going to be making, you know, millions of dollars if they go to the NBA or the NFL, etc. They will take a communications major because that allows them to easily keep their grades up. They don't have to put very much effort into it. And they can spend all of their time working out or getting better at whatever sport they're doing. So yeah, communications not very difficult. Number two on the list is going to be general degrees, right? And there is literally a degree that's called general studies. But this applies to other types of degrees out there, where it's basically just giving you kind of like a very surface level of a bunch of different things. So you know a little bit about a lot and the whole purpose of becoming a professional at something or going to college to get educated is to get specialized skills. Specialists most of the time, if you look at nature, if you look at jobs, if you look at all kinds of different things, specialists usually beat generalists. So for instance, specialist doctors make way more than generalist doctors. If you look at nature, you know, animals that live in northern environments, for instance, usually they're going to have very thick fur. They're going to have very thick skin a lot of the time. If they have hooves, they're going to be very thick as well. So they have specialized themselves to live in that environment. So this is basically just a law of the universe. It's very important. If you want to do something, if you want to get really good at something and get paid a lot for it, you should try to specialize as much as you can. So general degrees, not very good.  I like looking at Wikipedia. I like looking things up and learning about random stuff, but it's not necessarily going to be difficult. And then the number one degree on this list was recreation and leisure studies. So this one, when you looked at the average weekly study hours, it was actually less than 10. So they studied less than 10 hours per week. And I mean, do I even need to explain this one? Recreation and leisure studies. It's in the name. So even when you are studying, it's like recreation. So it's like maybe you could study by watching Netflix or something.  This has definitely got to be number one for the easiest degree out there. But let me know what you guys think. Did I get the right ones on the list? Did I get them in the wrong order? Let me know what you think is the easiest degree or if one of them on this list is a lot harder than I'm saying that it was. And if you haven't done it already, go ahead, check out my other videos right here. I made them just for you.

Welcome to Seymour's World on Think Tech Hawaii. It's a pleasure to see you today. I just got back from a trip to China, Thailand, working over there. And I wanted to do a show on China. And I wanted to do a show on what has happened since the Trump presidency came in. And to find an expert on China, I decided to go to a very good friend of mine who I feel is Hawaii's premier expert on what's happening in China. So I would like to introduce you to Jay Henderson. Jay, welcome to Seymour's World. It's not your first time here. You've been here a few times. And it's such a pleasure to have you on because I know from my travels in China, and you know better than me, I think you were there. I started in 1980. When did you start going to China? 1977. So you were there a long time before me. And I was there, of course, for business rather than anything else. And you were there not just for business, but also for social issues, correct? Yes. At the time I was with the group that hosted the Ping Pong team from China to the U.S. And I did that for from about 1973 to 1983, going back and forth to China with athletic teams with performing arts groups, educators, et cetera. And then I did other things after that. Well, a lot of people would say to me, because they know my position on China, that I like China. I happen to love working in China. I happen to love doing business in China. I happen to love the people in China who I've known for 30 or 40 years now, almost 40 years. And a lot of people say, well, you know, aren't they different than us?  You have good people. You have bad people. I find China one of the most industrious nations in the world. When they party, they party hard during Chinese New Year. When they work the rest of the time, they work very hard. So I am a China affectionato, so to speak. What about you? What has been your involvement since the Ping Pong days? Well, rather than a China expert, I actually call myself a China specialist because I've been specializing in China all my life and with the one goal of trying to avoid having any kind of a war with China. You know, I'm a Vietnam War veteran, and I was very, very anxious right after the war, right after I came back from Vietnam to avoid seeing that particular conflict blow up and involve China the way that happened during the Korean War when I was younger. So I've spent my entire career trying to improve, understanding between the people of China, the people of the United States in order to avoid a war. And that has been, obviously, you have done a good job because there's never really been, except for the politicos and the military nuts guys who think that war is what has to run the world. There really hasn't been that much of an issue has there in the past we're talking about. No, thank goodness. We've had a number of changes of political leadership, like for example when Ronald Reagan became president, where he, before he became president, he was very close to Chiang Kai-shek on Taiwan and everyone was wondering whether or not he was going to continue the policy of recognizing only one China and that China being, the government of that being in Beijing rather than in Taipei. And he became president and a couple of months later he was in Beijing. And we've seen a very, very steady U.S.-China relationship because of the policy run by the various presidents and the various administrations, be they Republican or Democrat, that has been very conducive to stable relations that has also been conducive to prosperity, it's also been conducive to peace. And now, of course, we come to Mr. Trump.  When it comes to China, I don't see that much. He's talked a lot about trade embargoes and all that kind of stuff. What is, I'd like to know the last five years of what you feel has transpired under the Obama term and what you see for the next five years? The past five years have not really changed since the past 40 years, since at least 1978 when Deng Xiaoping came back from the countryside and decommunized the countryside and the cities and the countryside, the economy put it that way. And China began to blossom economically. The past five years have seen a continuation of the steady course on U.S.-China relations. What we're having right now with Donald Trump coming in and having said some of the things that he said during the campaign has caused people like me to worry a great deal about will he diverge from the policies of the past 40 years? Will we see a whole new era in U.S.-China relations or will he also be on board? Now there was a couple of rocky periods already in the last month or two. One is when he had a phone call with Tsai Ing-Wan, the president of the government on Taiwan, that caused some shockwaves and caused Beijing to react and a lot of people at the highest level in the government of China to worry about the stability of U.S.-China relations. But within the past week we've had two encouraging developments. One was an exchange of notes between President Xi Jinping of China and President Trump and the other is just yesterday a phone call between the two presidents. Is there a meeting coming up between the two of them? Nothing has been planned currently. But there was a reassuring phone call in which, at least according to the Chinese president, Trump said he agreed with the one China policy. Don't you feel though that Trump, and I'm not a Trump fan by the way, but don't you feel he's really political, meaning that he may say what he needs to say to get elected, but he's already starting to back down on a lot of the issues that were paramount in his campaign, such as I'm going to build this wall and I'm going to send these people out of here and the Muslims are not welcome in our country, all that kind of stuff. Don't you think it's the same with China that he's not going to really do much, he may talk about it but not do much? What's your feeling? The big difference between the Trump that we have known and the Trump that is now in power is that he's surrounded himself with a number of top advisors and people who have much fully fleshed out thought processes and they're not going to be impulsive and they're not going to react just basically on the basis of what's staring them in the face. And Steve Bannon is one of those and... He's scary to me. He's absolutely scary to me. What do you think? Am I crazy or am I... Well, he said a war with China is inevitable which runs to chill up my spine because I think if that's the case, we have to double down on our efforts to avoid a war. We have to do everything we can because it will be catastrophic. It could be nuclear, it could cause worldwide catastrophe of unimaginable proportions that I do not accept, we should just allow happen. Why would he want a war with China? He will not say that he wants a war with China. He will say a war with China is inevitable. For example, he'll say that the Chinese are pushing surround down in the South China Sea or the Chinese are not allowing enough freedom of the elections in Hong Kong or there's all kinds of things that he can come up with. There's all kinds of tripwires in the U.S.-China relationship that every administration up to now has studied very, very carefully and worked on in dialogues with China. Basically, the U.S.-China relationship is built on, we've got about 100 different issues, some of which are never going to be solved, so we have to contain those and keep them from getting, blowing out a proportion because if they do, we're going to have a war. And then the others, let's just work on those because we can make progress on those. And because we've had that kind of a policy, we've had a very good relationship. And if we start to fiddle around with those other issues that we know are tripwires, China calls them their core interests, we're playing with fire and we will probably have a conflagration. And this is what Mr. Bannon, I think, believes. I see we have to go over there and retool all of those intractable issues that we have with China. And that's a mistake if we do that. And why is it a mistake? Because it will lead to a needless war. We do not have to have this. The world has benefited greatly by the stability in U.S.-China relations for the past 40 years. And the next 40 years are going to be truly wonderful if we can find a way to coexist with China. We do not have to necessarily be their friend. We just have to understand them and they have to understand us. And we have to find a way to focus on the issues where we can make progress and not allow those other issues that could easily blow out a proportion, anything to happen to upset them. I want to talk about the next 40 years because I think we think generationally rather than a lot of people who think about today, tomorrow, and next year. And for us, you and I, who have been to China a lot and understand how they think, in the U.S., it's very difficult for a lot of people to understand that. So I want to talk about the next 40 years. But before that, I want to talk about some of these tripwires. And one of the tripwires with us, the building of bases or airfields or whatever you want to call them in the South China Sea. Could you explain to our audience what this is all about? I'll do my best. It's a very complicated issue and we don't have a lot of time. I will just say that China has been in the business of making China great again for the past 40 years. They've been in that business for the past 40 years and they are not monolithic. That is to say there are factions within the Chinese leadership and one of them is the Chinese military, which is very assertive. Similar to ours. And one of the key issues that they have is the integrity of China's borders. Sounds familiar, but they can't build a wall. Take Tibet, take Hong Kong, take Taiwan and take the South China Sea. Those are four areas that the Chinese have said for a long time. Those are integral parts of China. The South China Sea, they have this nine-dash line, which in my personal opinion is way overblown and way out of proportion to what it should be. But it overlaps with the territories of the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and China. That is to say China on Taiwan. Is it a strategic issue for China? It is a strategic issue for China. They want very much to reclaim those rocks and put sand out there and build runways out there and make them capable of at least landing a fighter plane or a jet plane and maybe putting in an anti-aircraft installation. But at least you're not going to have a brigade of troops stationed out there. They're rocks. It's just not that big. And by the way, China is not the first nation to reclaim those rocks in this disputed area. There are already reclamations being done by Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines and Taiwan. Even on Chinese New Year's Day, a year ago, the outgoing president of Taiwan, Ma Yingzhou, flew to Ituaba, an island that is part of the disputed area, where the Taiwan government and the military have built a base and have troops stationed there. Not very many. I don't know how many, but not a lot. And it can land and take off. I mean, the big problem with what China is doing is the size. It's just so enormous. It's like five or six times bigger than anybody else has done before. And so therefore it could be used as a military base very quickly if they wanted to. Okay. So as a tripwire, as you called it, we see it as a potential issue. The question is, why do we care? We in the U.S. as normal, as ordinary citizens, do we really care? Or is it our military that's pushing the agenda? Or is Bannon pushing the agenda that we have to stop China from building there? And it's not Bannon pushing the agenda particularly on this particular issue because the issue has been growing in importance in U.S.-China relations for the past several years, as the Chinese have been reclaiming these lands long before Bannon became an influential figure. Our military has worried, I think, rightfully about the freedom of navigation, about the right of passage because it's a major area for the world's shipping to be going through. They want it to be unimpeded and they don't want the Chinese to be able to say, this is our area and for you to go through here, you have to have our permission. And if you don't get our permission, I mean, the Chinese have been very pushy about other countries doing fishing in certain areas down there, but the jury is still out on whether or not the Chinese are ever going to do anything that will upset the strategic value or the strategic importance of that area. Jay, we have to take a break, but I want you to think about this before we take the break, the trade policy of Mr. Trump and his assertion that he's going to be putting out some trade barriers or trade tariffs and we're going to talk about that after the break. But I think that's one of, for me, because I'm a businessman who does business in China and I've been an importer for 30 years from China, it's an important issue and I want to know how the Chinese are going to react to it. So we have to take a short break. I'm fascinated whenever I talk to Jay because he is such a specialist. I still call him an expert because that's my term for him on China. You're watching Seymour's World on Think Tech Hawaii, we'll be back in a minute. Hello, this is Martin Despeng. I want to get you excited about my new show, which is called Humane Architecture for Hawaii and Beyond and it's going to be on Think Tech Hawaii from downtown Honolulu on Tuesday afternoon 5 p.m. And we're going to talk about to make architecture more inclusive on the islands, which is one of the definitions of humane, which is being tolerant of many people, of nature, of many other influences. So we're going to have some great guests, like today's guest for example, my collaborator, David Rockwood, who's the author of the awesome manifestation of humane architecture in the background. So see you on Tuesdays 5 p.m. I look forward to. Welcome back to Seymour's World on Think Tech Hawaii and what I think is one of the most important topics of the day and that is China-U.S. relations under President Trump. With us today is Jay Henderson, my very, very good friend, a man who has traveled in China for many, many years. My God, it's 40 years, 40 years. For me, it's 37, for you, it's 40 years. So you and I have discussed China at length and we both seem to have the same feelings about China, but we need to discuss what we talked about just before the break and that's trade. Tell me about what you're feeling. We know what Trump wants to do or what he says he wants to do. What do the Chinese feel about that? Well, the Chinese are busy going their own way and, for example, the Asian investment infrastructure bank that they started because we basically wouldn't work with them on allowing enough capital for them to be able to achieve the development goals that they wanted to achieve, accomplish. And we didn't join, but the British joined and the French joined and the Germans joined. So then we had the TPP, which was very carefully crafted and involved a lot of nations signing on and a political cause to themselves and now President Trump has said we're not going to, we're going to back away from the TPP, thereby leaving the entire regulatory structure and regulatory regime for trade in Asia up for grabs. And the Chinese are going to come in and try to put some kind of, get the upper hand on the baseball bat because we have seeded it. The trade with China is going to continue. It will change. That is to say it will continue at a huge level. It will grow. It will change. There will be much more Chinese investment in the United States. I was hoping you would say that, Jay, because everybody's focusing on the other thing. They're focusing on the products we're bringing in, have to have more tariffs, et cetera, et cetera. I can tell you myself from my consulting business, I have more Chinese companies asking me about buying U.S. companies or moving into the U.S. than ever before, much more. Sometimes maybe in 2016, five to six times as many companies from China asking me to help them set up their operations here in the U.S. But there was a report done by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and the Rodeum Group about Chinese investment in the United States. And I think it's basically, succinctly to said, it's doubling every year. It's up to $80 billion a year now and probably this year it will be $160 billion. And it just shows that the Chinese have a lot of confidence in the United States as a market where they can make money. Yes, there's no doubt in my mind that we need to focus more on the positive relationships between China and the U.S. If China is willing to invest in us, if they're buying hotels right here in Hawaii, we know they're buying hotels and property, et cetera, they're doing that all over the country.  We know that. But I feel that the relationships we have with China are going to be very good relationships. I disagree with you a little bit that a war might be coming, and that's I know that's what Bannon says. But I think that when it comes to relationships, China and the U.S. will have strong relationships. But if they don't, there are going to be allies and there's going to be adversaries as well, or adversaries as well. Do you think there is an issue of who's going to line up with China?  Go ahead. Every country in Asia is asking themselves that question at this point in time. Where are we in our relationship with the United States vis-à-vis China? There was a long article in the Australian press yesterday about Trump's phone call with Mr. Turnbull, the prime minister of Australia, hanging up on him. And then after that, Turnbull sends his foreign minister to Beijing to talk about what are we going to do now. So it's an evolving relationship for every one of the Southeast Asian, excuse me, every country in Asia.  While we're talking about that, Jay, and we're talking about the countries in Asia that are going to support China or are going to follow the U.S., I really don't think that's going to be the big issue that everybody is making it out to be. What do you think? I don't either. I think that rather than having a win-lose friend and adversary kind of a setup, we have a possibility for a win-win where everybody can prosper and benefit. That would be if we go back to what I said before the break about having a stable relationship where we keep the hot button issues contained and work on the areas where we can make progress. And the areas where we can make progress are huge and there's quite a number of areas. Let me give you one example that I really like to talk about. It's called the One Belt, One Road Initiative from China. Where China is saying we want to go on the old Silk Road and build a whole series of trade entrepos between us and all the way to Paris or London. And they want investment to go out there and do that. They're willing to build the infrastructure we can fill in around the edges and we can prosper from that too. But rather than join in with the One Belt, One Road, we're standing back. That was even under Obama. We were having to stand off attitude towards the Belt Road Initiative. I think we should seize the bull by the horns. That's a tremendous opportunity for American business with the Chinese raising funds to build infrastructure that they will profit from. And then there's all kinds of ways that we can be part of the supply chain, maybe being the dominant source for the One Belt. But you see, as a win-win situation, how do we get that across to Mr. Trump? Are you listening, Mr. Trump, by the way? If you're watching this show, I want you to know that we want to have a good relationship. We don't want this negativity of looking at what the problems are rather than trying to feature what the good relationships could be. And I think you're right, Jay. There's definitely a win-win. But we seem to focus on the negative, don't we? Well, I think the Chinese are handling their relationship with the new administration very, very adroitly. And not only should you look at what they say, but you should also look at what they do. And one of the first things that they did is—and you cannot say that the Chinese Foreign Ministry sent this man, Jack Ma, who's the head of Alibaba. Small little company, yeah. Small little company. He appeared and he talked with Mr. Trump. And when he came out, there were all smiles. I don't know whether that was a chess move or not, but basically they'll think that Chinese—and I can see it from the blogosphere that I follow on U.S.-China relations—I can see that the Chinese want to—they recognize that Mr. Trump is susceptible to flattery. And so what you do is you flatter him and then you tell him what to do and how to behave and what to say, and then you thank him and leave. And that's sort of what they're going to be doing with him. And that's what they do with Mr. Ma. That's the first time I've heard that, Jay. And I have to say it is a pleasure to hear it because I think you're right. I think Trump is still an enigma to many of us.  A lot of us think he doesn't know what he's doing. And a lot of us think he's not listening to his advisors and all he does is tweet at night.  But I think that if we approach the relationships between the U.S. and China in just that way where we understand each other's each other's strengths and each other's weaknesses, we're going to be able to do a good job between the two countries. That's my feeling. Now, what is the, what do the people in China think of Mr. Trump? I'm talking about the everyday citizen. What does he think when he looks at President Trump and says this is the leader of that quote new free world? Some of the people in China, there's no universal, except that opinion yet in China. Some of them think that he's great because he's going to destroy America. Some of them think that he's great because he's the kind of leader that, well, they recognize making America great again is exactly what China has been trying to do for making China great again and not putting up with any nonsense and just bulldozing his way through. They may like that. And then, of course, there's a lot of people that are worried about the instability that he's going to cause in US-China relations that will cost the Chinese people. Do you feel that the Chinese government, we're talking about, you know, from the top down, do you feel that there's a fear of President Trump or do they feel that they could do exactly what Jack Ma did, which has come to the United States and make deals with them? And I mean, Trump, if there's one thing about Trump is he's a dealmaker and he loves making deals. So do you think there's going to be some type of quid pro quo via trade where there won't be any dumping of steel, for instance. That's a big issue. Do you think that's going to happen that there's going to be some type of arrangement made where we're going to eliminate this? Well, China has been taking us to the cleaners for the last 20 years, which is what Trump has been saying. Yeah, China's been taking us to the cleaners. China's manipulating its currency, all of these things. I think there will be some kind of an arrangement worked out between China and the United States that both sides will accept, and it will have to be made out of whole cloth because right now everything is up for grabs. The top leadership, I think, are still trying to find the best way to relate to the Trump administration. And just look at what they did, for example, when President Xi and President Trump had their phone call. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman came out onto the stage, walked out and gave a 45-second address saying, this is wonderful. We're happy to see that President Xi and President Trump are talking to each other and that President Trump has agreed with one China policy. Thank you. Goodbye. You know, that's part of how China deals with a lot of things. And of course, Trump has to learn as we go along. Jay, I have to tell you that we're almost at the end of our program. You're leaving for China in a couple of weeks, I understand? Yes. And I just got back, and I'm going again in a couple of months when I have to go over there. What is your feeling about China? Are you confident that it's going to continue on this road upwards there, or do you think it's going to be flat for a while? Well, I've started going to China when everybody was riding bicycles, and I've seen, as a lot of the world has seen, the tremendous progress they've made, but I think it's a big mistake to think that they're on a plateau. I think their progress is going up and it's going to continue to go up, and that we are making a mistake if we underestimate the future of China economically and otherwise. There's a tremendous opportunity for Americans here if we only play our relationship with China right, and the future could be very rosy if we didn't have it be a win-lose situation. I agree. Jay, we're out of time, so I have to say thank you, and I want you back again because, believe it or not, we had double the amount of items that we covered on our list, so we have to do this again. And to you, my audience, I thank you very much for watching our show today. I think having somebody like Jay on the show, not a political guy, not a pundit, but somebody who really knows what the inside of China is all about, is absolutely worth listening to. I'm going to be back in a couple of weeks with a brand new show. For those of you who have sent me all your emails and texts and calls about how I'm doing with my cancer, as you could see, I'm doing fine. I'm still playing golf. I'm still playing tennis. I'm traveling around the world. Next week I'll be in Whistler, British Columbia, and Vancouver, and then next month I'll be in Sydney, Australia, and the month after that I'll be in Germany. So it never stops for me, and I thank you for all your good wishes. I hope to be here for a long time to come, and I hope you keep watching my show. Thank you very much for watching Seymour's World on Think Tech Hawaii. See you again. Thank you, Jay.
