I'm Corbin. And I'm Rick. And you know what? Bears have big pauses. No one likes you. Please follow us on Instagram! Um, hi Ash. Except for your mother. Well, actually, I don't know. I don't know about that one. Everyone's like, why are you so mean? Uh, but today after, I thank you for following us on Patreon for the exclusive and early content there.  That you guys support us. Like, we really, it's mind-boggling to us, but we really appreciate it. But this is a new trailer that just dropped this morning as well. Hey, look at us on top of stuff. But yeah, we're not gonna put it out right away, sorry. Because then YouTube wants notifications. Yep, we gotta space it out because, you know, YouTube can't handle the high tech stuff we do. It's hard for them to do their job. Yeah. But it is weird that you see, if you try to send something out back to back, there's like the second one because I got a notification. If it's, if it's basically above three videos. Yeah, forget it. But this is called Game Over. It's topsy-pinous, new film. Ah, I think it's a Tamil film as well. Nice. We have a Tamil, I think it's four of it miles. Yeah, Tamil. But yeah, it's called Game Over. Teaser came out a few days ago. We didn't react to it. I was gone. But now I'm not. It's been a while since we've seen something from Tapsi. The last thing I think we were was with Badlo was the last time we saw her. Yeah, in Badlo. Cool. Okay, this is different. Oh, it's one of those.  Oh, yeah. She's so pretty. She is pretty. This is called anniversary reaction. Yes, you shouldn't play games. I think that's what we can all. That's the message. Figure out from this. The future of gaming is nothing but horror. Pitchcockian. Very, like in terms of the South Indian films we've seen. Yeah. It seemed a little dubbed over. I don't know what that was. Did it? It seemed a little bit to me. I don't know what that was. Maybe. But what it didn't give me from South Indian stuff was this had seemed a through plot line. Because a lot of the South Indian trailers don't. It's just it's kind of like this cornucopia of information. This seemed to have a pretty straight through line. I have a guess. Okay, go ahead. Now I bet the person who's beheading people and burning them is her. Oh, it's like that. And she doesn't know it. It's like that short we watched. Yeah, it's like a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde thing. But I hope it twists six or seven times when we don't know like a Jordan Peele movie or something. Well, you know the acting couldn't be unpointed. Yeah. And is this her first real headliner film where she is the star and she's the draw alone? Because our first introduction to her was pink. Yeah. And then bad love Big B.  So I'm wondering if this is her first like helmer. Well, first film that's hers and hers alone. I mean, we could check, but I guess I mean, she's starred a lot of films where she was the lead. Yeah, well, she's been in the film with other people, but there's no other like bad. But she's the lead. I mean, she is the most great time. She's with Big B, man. But she's she is more screen time. Yeah, but there's but this doesn't have any other would I mean any other heavyweight draw that would come to the box office. You come to see this because of the director and the actor and that's it. Well, I think she's already there though. I thought she was already like at that level. I thought she was like Kalki and that she's she's still an established like she's an established actor that everybody respects, but she hasn't yet hit the place that like Nawazidin has reached. Where Nawazidin is now the guy who can draw people because Nawazidin's in it. Gotcha. Makes sense. Yeah. Could be totally wrong. But it looks great. How often do actors go between different industries? Good question. Great question. Because obviously we're still new to this. So we don't know how often people go from the Tamal films to to Luga and Hollywood, Canada and all the all the other film industries. Right. I know Nawazidin obviously has. Yeah. But there's others like Vikram, who's a very, it's very fine. Right. Well, it might have done a bunch of stuff. That we know. He might have done a bunch of stuff in other industries. I just, I think I've only, the stuff we've seen him in is only, I think Tamal, I think it's Tamal. Yeah. That's a great question. I would love to know. I mean, because like right now, the people we've been exposed to, which is obvious, are mostly the quote unquote Bollywood folks, like the Kans and Alia and Tapsi Panu and Irfan. But they, my suspicion, especially people with a career like Irfan and Taboo say. They go in between my suspicions that they're all over the place. Yeah. But they've done all the industries. Obviously you'd have to be able to speak different languages, of course. Right. Well, a lot of them do. A lot of them. A lot of them do. Yeah. Speak to like five different languages. I know somebody who speaks 13. It's impressive. Yes. I speak American. Yeah. Woohoo for us. Miracle. But yeah, I thought the trailer looked really cool. It comes out the exact same day that Article 15 comes out. Oh, they're going to compete at the box office. And might come out Kabir Singh? I wouldn't say Kabir Singh. No way. All three of them on the same weekend? That'd be nuts. Kabir Singh might come out the week after. I don't remember the date. It's all June. Yeah. Oh, June 4. These are June 14. I believe this and the Article 15 come out. The June 3 come out already because that's going to trouble me. Well, we need to see Student of the Year 2 before it goes out of theaters. That's true. So expecting that review. That review will come. That's going to be coming soon. In fact, I think we should do two reviews. I think a non-spoiler. Let's do a non-spoiler, a spoiler, and then let's watch it individually with Alexis and Ashley and my guy and let them do a review each so we have at least five different reviews. I think we should actually film it so they can see our reaction. Let's do the reaction like we did with Game of Thrones. We'll watch it, then we'll do a non-spoiler, a spoiler, and then each of them can do a spoiler and a non-spoiler. I think that's what


Alright guys, welcome back to Com Again. Today we're going to be trying something a little bit different. I've always wanted to try my hand at ASMR style videos. For those of you who aren't familiar with ASMR, it stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. And according to Wikipedia, it's an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. So with that being said, let's get into this. I've seen a couple of ASMR videos and I like them. One of the big ones is Amy McClain which I promoted on the show last week. And this week, we're going to be taking a look at the final issue of Wizard Magazine. Of course, this is from March of 2011, back when Ryan Reynolds was signed on to play Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern movie. This is Wizard number 235, exclusive Doctor Who meets Star Trek. Green Lantern, Ryan Reynolds as DC Comics' top space cop, Captain America's Shield, Evil Heartbreakers, dating tips for fanboys, wizardworld.com. You got Green Lantern, David Finch, Incredible Changebots 2, and the All-Star Superman DVD. Now, as you can tell, my issue is in pretty rough shape. I've had it quite a while. I used to collect Wizard magazines back in the day when they were real big. I'd like to start collecting them again. Some of them are pretty expensive, others are fairly cheap, so we'll see. But like I said, I used to collect them and several times that I moved, they kind of got left behind. So, let's take a look inside. You got here an ad for Dragon Quest 6, Realms of Revelation, New Worlds, New Heroes. Put that to the side here. That's for Nintendo DS. You got here the Table of Contents, Magic Words, Fun Bags of Mail, Movies, Green Lantern Movie, Favro Scrap's Iron Man, Real Life Super Heroes, Fanboy Hitmaker, Comics, David Finch's Bat Faves, Last Man Standing, Star Trek vs. Doctor Who, The Polist, Trade Show, Changebots 2, 21st Century Fan Man, Art Attack, Con Spotlight, you got the TV section, Video Games, Lifestyle, Market Watch, Price Guide Liftings, Listings, and Cliffhanger. For those of you who don't know, John and I, when we created Come Again, we based it on Wizard Magazine. We wanted to bring what we loved from the old Wizard magazines to YouTube. All things geek culture, you know, comics, movies, TV, toys, the works. And I think we've been doing that fairly well. It's taken us quite some time to build an audience though. So I'm kind of hoping maybe if we do a couple of these ASMR videos, we can appeal to a broader audience. Got the magic words, rifling through our fun bags of mail. It's just letters to the editor, I guess. Bunny letter. Our resident drunken, hammer swinging rabbit steals our mail and answers it. A lot of younger fans out there need to know that comic book based movies had bad previous incarnations on the big screen and small screen. Robert Johnson via email. Wow, Robert. Thank you. If only there was some evidence of these horrible productions out there, then we wouldn't need your email or your due diligence to clue the youth of today into the fact that comic book movies have been made poorly in the past. If only there was a say video example or something on DVD, perhaps the internet could hold some facts as to the suckitude of comic movies and TV shows in the past. But alas, we're stuck with you and your letter. Way to go, Robert. Way to go.  Ryan Reynolds was not born to play Hal Jordan like he was for Deadpool. I don't think, I don't think Ryan Reynolds should have been cast. I think it should have gone to a more serious actor, whereas Ryan Reynolds is more sarcastic. He's perfect for Deadpool. He's perfect for some of the other roles he's played. But when it comes to Green Lantern, he's just, he was not meant to play Hal Jordan. The other characters did fairly well, the rest of the cast. So, but the story was also pretty bad. Bringing in one of the main bad guys right off the bat, being parallax. Not really the best. To make this look real, we've got to believe in Hal Jordan, Guy Major. That's another thing that they really, really failed to do. I certainly didn't really believe in Hal Jordan in this movie. Don't get me wrong, I like Ryan Reynolds. I like his characters. I just don't think he was the right choice to play Hal Jordan. I know they needed a big name to play Hal Jordan, but it shouldn't have been Ryan Reynolds. And it's not all his fault either. It is a lot of the storytelling as well. But with that being said, let's go ahead and move on. It's not easy being Green. I got the Toronto Comic-Con Wizard World. That was 2011. Julie Benz was there from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dexter, and No Ordinary Family. Also had Carlos Pacheco, Billy Dee Williams, John Schreider, and Phil Jemens. Stark Reality, Y-director John Favreau left Marvel's Iron Man. And what's next for the billion dollar franchise? So this was for Iron Man 2. Got different people in the Iron Man armor. You got Catherine Bigelow, Guy Ritchie, Neil Plomkamp, whoever that is. Michael Bay, Guillermo del Toro, and Ben Affleck. I guess people who were lined up to direct Iron Man. Unmarvelous migrations. Sam Raimi, Ang Lee, Ed Norton, and Brian Singer. Then you got different movie-style posters. Got Nyx, Protector of the Night, Dark Guardian, and Pie, I guess it is. Where there is life, there is hope. Okay, I've actually never heard of those movies, so I do remember seeing something about Shia LaBeouf, though, in that outfit. So, I don't know. Hitman's Hitmaker, Cain and Lynch, Bat Signals, David Finch Ranks, the top 10 artists that shaped his caped crusader. You got Number 10, being Dave McKean from Arkham Asylum. Number 9, Bill Senkowitz, Batman Detective Comics, Batman Black and White, Batman, GCPD, Dark Knight Dynasty, DC First, Batgirl Joke. Number 8 is Neil Adams. 7, Frank Millen, 6, Tim Sale. Number 5 is Kelly Jones. Number 4 is Jim Lee. Jim Lee is probably one of my favorite comic book artists as well. Number 3 is Kevin Nalvin. 2, Eduardo Rizzo. Number 1, Simon Bisley. There's examples of their artwork. Side by side with their names. Check that out. Nice little image of Batman and the Joker kind of going crazy. Very nice. Last man standing, Doctor Who meets classic Star Trek in a comic showdown we want to see. I wouldn't mind checking that out. Of course, this was the Mass Myth Doctor. This was the Doctor Who introduced me to Doctor Who. He was my favorite, but then I started to really get into Peter Capaldi's Doctor. I never really cared for the original series Star Trek, though. I'm more of a next generation Voyager DS9 Trekkie. The pull list. You've got Hawkeye Blindspot, Number 1 of 4. Batwoman, Number 1. You have Witchfinder, Lost and Gone Forever, Number 1. Walking Dead, Number 82. Batman and Robin, Number 20. Amazing Spider-Man, 655. Superboy, Number 4. Sweettooth, Number 18. Hulk, Number 30. Right, so now you've got Little Spotlight, Hawkeye and Mockingbird, Recommended Super Romances, Green Arrow, Black Canary Wedding Album, Stonishing X-Men Omnibus, Buffy, Season 8, Volume 7, Twilight, Spider-Man Blue. You got The Secret Stash. Jeffrey Brown shares a deleted scene from The Upcoming Changebots 2. That was written by Andy Serwin. Because it said The Secret Stash, I almost imagined Kevin Smith writing it, because as most of us know, Kevin Smith owns a comic book store called J. Hanseilabab's Secret Stash. All right, 21st Century Fan Man, True Blue Geek or Poser Chick. Meet the new generation of comic fan. All right, so Number 1, he has an iPhone. Number 2 is an iPad. Number 3, BPRD Satchel, Star Trek Shoes, Red Lantern T, Xbox 360, PS3, Hellboy and Iron Man movie props, 10 inch action figures, Absolute Editions, Superhero Bookends, and sketch art. Yeah. Yeah. Part Attack, Marco Jerjavik. We examine the tools of the trade used by the top Marvel cover artist. Some examples of his artwork, NOH comment, Superstar David Mack on the past and future of Kabuki. Noble Prize, French Star Shows, and Added Dimension. And All Star is Born. This is, of course, the movie adaptation of All Star Superman, which I may review sometime in the future. I'm not quite sure. I didn't really care for it, but a lot of people did, so may give it a shot. Bruce Tim provides a first look at DC's latest straight-to-DVD masterpiece. Tune teasers. You got Batman Year 1, Green Lantern Emerald Nights, Green Lantern the Animated Series. Very nice. Agents of Atlas. For those of you who think he looks familiar, but can't quite place him, he was actually the Danny Glover's partner in Saw, the original Saw movie, as well as, and I believe he was also the Blue Galaxy Ranger on Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. I think that's him. Pretty sure it is. If I'm wrong, leave a comment down below. He also kind of reminds me of Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite. You've got Bruce Campbell here as well. Hail to the King. Camelot's Monarch on Swords, Sex, and Vampire Babies. Toy Fair Magazine. Also owned by Wizard World. Spiderman and his amazing friends. The Oral History. Did you guys ever watch that show as growing up? It was on Fox Family for a while before it became ABC Family. Not bad show. Not that great, but not bad. Got an animated Stanley there behind J. Jonah Jameson, Dr. Octopus, Green Goblin, Iceman, Spider-Man, I think that's Starfire. I could be wrong. And Swarm. Or is that Sandman? I'm not sure. Continuing with Spider-Man and his amazing friends. Digital Divas. You got Tomb Raider, you got Katana, you got Princess Peach, Dark Stalkers, Cammy from Street Fighter, Storms of Bruin.  I found metal to be the appropriate soundtrack. Rick Reminder. House of Pain. Rules. Excuse me, my son is running around in the background. I do apologize if you hear any stomping. Rules every fan man and woman should know about dating. Let's see here. Don't be a scruffy looking nerf herder. Look your best. That doesn't mean wear an authentic Stormtrooper outfit or t-shirt that says Cheech and Bong. Dress nice, tuck in your shirt, and put the best you forward. Feel confidence. Or feel confident. Confidence is the key to success. Full dating. Or anything for that matter. It's okay to be a geek, but always go geek chick. Don't go Tony Stark. No fanboy chatter. Take it slow. That's always something I was not very good at when I was dating. I kind of took it pretty fast and almost always kissed on the first date. Say what you feel. Make sure you agree on the big stuff. Dinner is romance. It's all in the kiss. You're not getting laid the first time out. Sometimes that's not true. It's all geek to him. Hollywood treasure host Jonathan Mankuta. Maybe the biggest fanboy on earth. Got some toys here. You got Modoc. You got the Punisher. You got Captain America. Actually, that's Bucky Barnes as Captain America. Got Gambit. You got Batman Black and White. It's a Modoc statue from Bowen Designs. Punisher statue from Bowen Designs. Captain America premium format figure. You got Gambit action figure from Marvel Select. Cliff Cheyenne Batman statue. Real life Bat grappling gun. I have done research on some of the stuff on what it would take to be a Batman type in real life. Just for fun, you know. I don't think Batman would be able to put that on his utility belt. It's like grappling gun. Gadget holster. What do we call this? Uterus belly phones. Killer earphones. Come to the dark side. We have cookies. Let's see what is this. Answer the call of duty at your local Jeep dealer. Okay. Soaps for comic dopes. Got Boba Fett. You got Fight Club. You got Transformers. The Decepticons. Nintendo controllers. Dr. Who. Market watch. Graphic Holy Grails. I do apologize for that guys. My neighbor does drive a motorcycle. It happens. So graphic Holy Grails. You've got Action Comics number one from 1938. As of March of 2011, the current guide price $750,000. Detective Comics number 27 from 1939. As of March 2011, the guide price was $900,000. Showcase number four, the birth of the Silver Age. First appearance of the Barry Allen Flash. Valued at $55,000. As of March, 2011. Fantastic Four number one from 1961. Valued at $100,000. As of March, 2011. I actually used to own that issue. Amazing fantasy number 15. The first appearance of Spider-Man from 1962. Valued at $150,000. Fantastic Four number 48 through 50 from 1966. The first Silver Surfer and Galactus. Valued at $2,450. Uncanny X-Men number 129 through number 143. 1980 to 1981. The new X-Men debut.

Price guide value $51. And of course, this was back in 2011. So those prices may have gone up or they may have dropped. You never know. The Man of Steel numbers one through number six from 1986. I had that exact issue at one time. Price guide value $18. Watchmen numbers one through 12, 1986 to 1987. $103. Shop Talk. The Bat Franchise. Running behind. Glory Days. Greener Pastries. Here's a little mini price guide. Nowhere near what it used to be, though. Back in Wizards Hay Day. They used to have price guides that were about that thick that made up the majority of the magazine. But the magazines themselves were like that thick, whereas the price guides were about the size of this magazine here. You know. But comics would... Oh, I guess this wasn't the last issue. I thought it was. 235. Number 236. Actually, maybe it was the last issue because I remember reading that they had planned for another issue. But the artists and writers and everyone showed up one day and the doors were locked. And they just stopped publishing. They switched everything over to online. So I think maybe this was the last issue. I could be wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong. Agent of Shield. Captain America's trademark prop is ready for its close-up. Very nice. I really miss my wizard magazines. I wish I would have kept them. I am going to go back through and try and find them all and recollect them. Just because I always liked reading through them. I would read through them multiple times. And I just really liked them. I want to go back and read them to get inspired for comic getting for future episodes. Kind of get inspired and get more of an audience for our show. So there you have it guys. This was the ASMR, my first ASMR video right here on Comic NTV. Feel free to hit the subscribe button. Leave a comment below. And if you liked this video, give it a thumbs up. And let us know that you want to see more ASMR geek culture videos right here on Comic NTV. Take care everyone.


Hello and welcome back here to the channel. I'm EvilRabbit. We're here looking at my ESD-AM4 in its 99% finished body. Now the reason I say 99% is because knowing me, I'm probably gonna end up changing something else, but this is basically done. The modeling is done. As you can see, we did switch to the V8. We have new carbon fiber door cards and we have a little bit of a little intake and supercharger poke in the front end of this car. So definitely super excited. We're gonna be taking a look at this car on this track driving it, having a little fun and talking about what's to come here in the channel. I've got some things that I'm going to be doing that I'm super excited about. So we're gonna get into all that details here in this episode. But first we're gonna do some driving, so make sure you guys follow me on all social media, all the information on the description box below. Why don't we get this wheel cam turned on and go into full drive mode. So we got the wheel cam and everything turned on. We are going to be running this course and then we'll be taking a look at the third-person view of the course and Explaining about the new things I'm bringing to the channel here. Super excited at the bottom.  Force gear kick. Bring it out wide to all the outer zone. I did, oh, wrong gear. Or bog the car out. They'll get a little bit used to this motor, but Iran did run a practice lap on this track just to kind of get a basic tune. As you can see the new carbon fiber door cards, you know, of course with the ESDA, NRT innovations, and my Igbo Rabbit logo on there. Taking it out here. Super excited how this model came out and super excited to be driving this car more. And like I said in the beginning, as I say it's 99% done because knowing myself, I'm gonna try and change something. Or I'm gonna find something different that needs to be altered. Like I noticed my shift lights aren't correct. I need to alter that data file. There's a wall tap there. Probably should have adjusted the gear slightly. Long ebrake entry there, but we got it. So shaking it down. Not much visual difference on the inside other than that little carbon intake. Poking out the hood. And of course the door cards, but that's not very distracting at all. It leaves a link for this track down in the description box below. It is all faucet if you're gonna rip this track yourself. That's a wall tap. I'm trying to stretch it out to that wall. But we did. Gonna finish this lap up, and then we're gonna take a look at the overhead. It does have a pretty cool overhead replay angle. So we'll take a look at that, and I will talk about what's to come here on the channel. I was pretty excited about, you know, doing stuff that is not in the norm, but still the normal as well. Cut it in. With that run in the book, so let's go take a look at the actual replay camera. But of course we're going to switch it up to the full-game cam. Gonna find out to where I started driving. Alright, so we're gonna have this just going on in the background while I talk to you guys a little bit about what's coming up on the channel. Along with the normal day-to-day drift content, and all the tuning and everything, and getting ready for USDA, all these, you know, cars, and gonna be doing some more builds and stuff like that. I'm going to be starting to bring out other content other than drifting, but I will still be doing the normal drifting content every morning afternoon upload. As I've been, you know, the normal upload about 9.30 or so a.m. Eastern time, you'll get your normal drifting content. But then there'll be some other content throughout the week that is going to be uploaded in the evening from first-person shooters to new game releases to maybe some extra modeling and or drifting content as well as racing content. So do have competitor zone, competition, ACC, however, you know, you'd like to pronounce it. So we're gonna be doing some racing and stuff like that. So we're gonna be posting up racing content, first-person shooter content, as well as the continuous daily drift content every morning. But you'll get bonus videos in the afternoon evening for things such other than drifting, maybe also some bonus drifting content. Definitely like the view of this track up here. This would be great for having some tandems and just being able to just sit up here and watch. It's kind of a good judging point, too. If you ran a certain section on this, you could really have a very solid view for a competition on this track. As you can see, both where both cars are really easily. And you can see kind of exactly where the transition spots are, like that's a pretty good view. And then of course you have, you know, all these zones on this track and at night all the zones light up. So I may switch it tonight and see if we can't drive it at night and get a little bit more of that night feel of the track. But I want to talk to you guys about what's coming on the channel. I'm super hyped about bringing other content and extending this gaming brand that I want to bring out. So like I said, first-person shooter games, Halo, you know, some new games that are coming out, Call of Duty, everything like that, as well as racing content on top of the standard daily drift content. Trying to expand this more to have, bring in different types of audiences, as well as give you guys a chance to see something different here on the channel other than just drifting. So let's go check this out in nighttime if we can, adjust my day settings with Soul, and see what we can find out with it. So we're gonna switch back to the driving camera and we're going to go back to pits and then we're gonna get my... Oh, that is very dark. We'll go down a pretty decent, I could see the green lines already. So we're gonna go down here. We do have my lights on. So now we're gonna go full-send in the dark and see what we can come up with on this track. Oh, yeah. Definitely a lot more glow going on now. This track is very well set up for nighttime driving and nighttime competition, which is actually really cool. You may think about maybe doing some drift invitations on this track because like I said, that overhead camera is really great for a judging aspect. Oh, I misjudged that. It's so different at night. Because of using my box cam, I can probably go into the track camera while I'm just watching players, which will be good, change cars around and do some spectating from up there. I really like these light-up zones though. Oh, that was a bit of a grass-hit. We're not doing the greatest here at night because I'm kind of losing focus. I'm noticing that we need to put some lights on the interior of this car. We need to do some interior lighting aspects so that we can light up the interior at night. It's probably something I'm gonna go into doing. Maybe put some lights in here or just use an extension to work. That's actually super fun. We're off. So let's go take a look at the replay of that and see what the replay looks like. Oh, yeah, it's super dark, but super cool. It's got the LED vibes going on with this setup. Like I said, this tracks a lot of fun and these zones make it really good to be able to see it and for nighttime it's super fun. Let's uh... Nope, not that one. Let's add a little bit more brightness to the day. So you can really add some a little bit of a dark-ish to it, but still be able to see the cars in full and see the zones in its full entirety. So definitely liking the way this track is set up. Like I said, it's a very good track to do some, say, competition things. So make sure you guys follow me on all social media all over the description box below if you guys like this. If you guys want to see more, let me know down in the comment section as well as I hope you guys are excited as much as I am to bring out other types of content as well as the daily drift content that will not go away. I'm still gonna be doing the drift content every morning, but we're gonna be getting bonus videos throughout the evenings throughout the week. You know, maybe one, two, three a week, maybe some weekend uploads. We're gonna be broadening this gaming brand and stuff like that that I want to bring. So make sure you guys follow me on all social media. I would appreciate if you tap the subscribe button if you're not a follower. I would appreciate all the support. And as always, I thank you guys for coming back and watching. I'm EvilRabbit. See you guys on the track.


Welcome to Tick Meal Weekly Market Outlook for Weekmen's in the 21st of October with me, Patrick Munally. A lighter data bag in the US this week, which comprises of Monday's housing numbers, both existing in new home sales as well as FHFA, House Price Index, Flash Market PMI readings are released Thursday. US manufacturers continue to feel the weight of global risks and the US dollar's resilience. On the services side, a softening consumer could be a threat to services looking ahead. Thursday also sees durable goods order data with the underlying investment trend lacking to remain weak. We also get regional manufacturing PMIs and we wrap up the week with Friday's University of Michigan sentiment index. A sentiment likely to be under some pressure, but robust overall. From a technical perspective, the dollar index duly broke down as we anticipated and now let's poise to test the ascending trend line support target down at the 9680 level. Look for any pullbacks into the beginning of the week as opportunities to set short positions targeting this area. As we test this area, expect some support on the first test and again, any three way of corrective patterns will once again be opportunities to set short positions bearing in mind the impulsive nature of the current decline. Oh, we're talking about the dollar index. Let's check in with gold. Gold held the support area as anticipated and we now look for a move through the 1500 level to set an upside objective to test the weekly R2 and the yearly R3 pivot up at this 1580 to 1590 area. Only a failure below 1460 will concern this bullish bias, suggesting a move down to test support at the 1440 level. Canada kicks the week off with a bang when voters head to the polls to elect a new federal government. Significant data risk will ensube or could get lost in the reporting of the election results. As for potential market effects, traders are likely a little trigger shy on that front after markets saw unexpected results standing from other major political developments over recent years, such as the 2016 Brexit referendum and the US election vote. Added reasons to be cautious is that the federal election results will be digested into the same global markets that will be dealing with the aftermath and potential next steps in the ongoing Brexit saga. Data from Canada updates retail sales and wholesale trade data for August on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. These will be the last readings to inform the final estimates of August GDP due out on Halloween. Remain 10 of perspective. Canadian Dollar broke down to test our targets at the 131.30 level. As this area supports at the beginning of the week, look for any pullbacks back into the 132.30 to 132.50 area as an opportunity to set new short positions, ultimately targeting a move down to test support at the psychological 130 level. The European data, I mean, while next week is going to be pretty limited to the flash consumer confidence index and flash market PMIs. Mainly markets will be paying attention to the ECB's governing council meeting and President Mario Draghi's final conference as his eight-year stint as the ECB chief comes to an end on the 31st of October. Draghi is set to be replaced by former IMF managing director Christine Lagarde and her arrival coincides with the revival of the central bank's restart of the asset purchase programme on 1 November. After cutting the key deposit rate by 10 basis points to negative 0.5% in September, market watchers expect ECB to keep all interest rates on hold this time round, as well as making little change to its policy statements before Lagarde takes the helm. From a technical perspective, the euro dollar traded up to our target area of the 111.40, 111.50, and we are now testing highs of the week at the 111.75 to 111.80 area. As the 111.90 caps this current advance, I'd be looking as any three-wave pullbacks as opportunities to set new long positions, especially if we test down into the 111.50 support area. This is where I'd be paying most attention looking for a move up then to breakthrough prior highs at this 112 area, ultimately targeting a move up to 113 on this next leg, which will be an equality setup. While we're talking about the euro, let's check in with the DAX. The DAX tested our target zone at the 12,790 level, which is also the underside of the prior trend line support, now acting as resistance, and we saw seller stepping into the market. I'm personally looking for a confirmation to do something on the short side with the close below the near term volume weighted average price. Once I get that, I'll be setting short positions, targeting a move down to test the 12,260 level as support. In the UK, obviously, all the attention is on the Brexit saga and the ongoing developments. This weekend, the Letwin amendment passed with votes of 322 against 306, and Boris Johnson was forced to send a letter to the EU asking for a Brexit extension, but the drama is only just beginning. Johnson will hold a vote on his Brexit deal as soon as Monday, depending upon what Speaker of the House Berger decides. What happens next is now Boris has sent a letter he will try on Monday to get Parliament to support the principle of his deal, followed by presenting the withdrawal bill on Tuesday. The good news for traders is that the vote will take place after the markets reopen. Cable traded up through our target zone of the 129 level and tested the psychological 130 level. As this area caps the current advance, look for any pullbacks into the 126 area as opportunities to set new long positions, ultimately targeting a test of 132. A failure for all the support of 126 would open a test of the ascending trend line support, now coming in around the 12380 level. Again, this will be another opportune area where we could look to set long positions with bullish key reversal patterns. Again, same target 132. In the Asian docket, the bulk of the data will come from Japan, which includes the trade report, the flash bank PMIs, the oil industry index, leading index and machine tool orders. Markets expect that the ongoing weakness in global manufacturing is likely to weigh on the Japanese tool orders and leading index data. Technical perspective, sellers stepped in at the 109 target area and we closed on a bullish, sorry, a bearish, key reversal day on Friday, closing below the five period volume wasted average price. This now sets up a move to test the 107 area as support. Any pullbacks from that 107 into this 10840 would be an opportunity to set short positions. Targeting an ultimate move down now to test 106.50 of support. Down under in Australia, there's a distinct lack of two-one data this week. RBA Assistant Governor for Financial Markets Chris Kent speaks on Wednesday on a panel that swaps in derivatives forum. Friday sees the only data release of the week with the 2018-2019 annual national accounts. Traders, are we watching for any significant revisions? From a technical perspective, the Australian dollar has broken higher and is looking poison out to test our initial target of this 69 level, which is the major descending trend line resistance. Be watching the 69 test and bearish reversal of daily patterns there to set tactical short positions targeting a move to test back down to the 68 areas as support. As this area contains any pullbacks, I'd be looking for bullish daily reversal patterns to set long positions, ultimately now targeting a move up to the 77th level. And that concludes the weekly market outlook for week commencing the 21st of October.


er the language issue, there were a lot of particular stakeholder groups that were trying to encourage people to answer that question, so there was quite a lot of activity around that as a new question and what that meant and how people should engage, and that's what we'd also want particularly in the voluntary question on transgender to encourage people to fill that in so that in terms of getting that information, we've got some information on that. But your point about guidance, again what this process has identified is although the bill itself in a sense is straightforward because it's about the voluntary aspects, the next stage is the more complicated aspect because it will be about the mandatory questioning and that will be very detailed, but alongside that is the guidance within that, and I think that this process in the evidence sessions has shown that the 2011 guidance was obviously something that came along during the process of that census development, but it's obviously clearly very important. In terms of our transparency and engagement with the committee, I think that it's really important that we ensure that the guidance that's there is given the attention that it deserves and to make sure that some of the issues potentially controversial or indeed otherwise, that the guidance has given as much importance as the questions itself, so that there is that transparency, so I think that your advice on that I think is well taken. I know, thank you. A second question is in a different aspect, so hopefully the convener will allow me. You mentioned earlier on regarding the census will actually be mostly online, but in terms of other people in society, particularly people who maybe have a visual impairment, I take it that there will still be copies of the census and paper copy, but also in various other formats, including Breil. Absolutely, and that is something we are, in fact, even picking up your last point, we will be continually testing with individuals, with groups as well, to make sure that all the information that we provide is accessible, is easy to understand, and we are fully working alongside equality groups and groups that represent people with different needs to make sure that what we're doing is actually appropriate for them. I thought I'd pose that question, because I chair the crossbar to give one visual impairment. Yeah, yeah, no, very good. I would say, convener, obviously there's different aspects of the census. We're focusing on particular issues in relation to the voluntary questions, sexual orientation, transgender, and obviously we've touched a great deal on the mandatory question on sex, but there's an awful lot else around the census, so we want to make sure that there's an offer to the committee to make sure that we keep you up-to-date about the whole project itself. Yeah, we'd appreciate that. Is that you? Finish your questions. Just to conclude, Cabinet Secretary, Patrick Harvie mentioned the number of women's organisations that I had written collectively under the umbrella of engender. In that particular submission, they raised issues of concern about how public bodies collect data on protected characteristics, and they believed that there was a lot of confusion out there that sex is a protected characteristic, and it's defined, as Kenneth Gibson said earlier, it's defined by the equality act as gender reassignment as a protected characteristic. In the equality impact assessment for the census amendment bill, the NRS dealt with sex and gender reassignment under the same heading, and it mainly talked about gender reassignment, and it contrasts very sharply with the ONS equality impact assessment, which dealt with those two protected characteristics separately. Do you acknowledge that there is perhaps some work to be done across Government and in your department to make sure that every area of Government in all public bodies are adhering to their obligations under the equality act to deal with sex as a protected characteristic independently of gender reassignment? I think that the answer to that is yes, and I think that across Government we can always be improving, and I think that the exercise in this process has identified that as well. However, I would say that the equality statement for this bill is about this bill, and this bill is about transgender identity. It's not actually about sex, so therefore it's not about the mandatory question on sex, it's not about the sex issue, it's about gender reassignment effectively and gender status, which should be captured by the voluntary question and sexual orientation, so the equality statement will be in relation to the bill in front of us, not about the census process generally. Finally, I welcome the fact that you're going back to various groups to gather views. You'll be aware that there are differences of opinions even within lesbian and gay communities. There are many lesbian and gay people who have got concerns, for example, about self-identification, and there are women's groups who disagree with some of the comments made in the submission that Patrick Harvie mentioned, and they have made submissions to our committee. Can you give us assurances that you will take all those views into account and that you won't just go to certain suspects who are funded by the Government and whose money depends on them taking a particular position on those issues? I hear what the convener says, and I think that it's really important that we have as wide a consultation as possible when we get to the next stage, which is determining the final questions and the actual content of that. I think that you're right in saying that a lot of people have different views and opinions, but if you take on everybody's views and opinions, you still have to come to a judgement at some point. That's why I hope that I've given you some perspective that at the end of the day, as the guardian of the census, it's got to be credible, have confidence, count people and to have some consistency. We're not going to be able to please everybody in this, but we have to—I think that it is a snapshot in time. We're going to have to make sure and determine the questions based on that snapshot in time as to where society is. That's why I don't think—as one individual, although I'm the responsible minister—that I have to make final decisions. I really need to do so with the advice of this committee, because you can help me to do that. I very much appreciate your consideration in doing that.


Hello and welcome to CMC Markets on Thursday the 21st of June and a quick look at the week beginning the 25th of June. Before we get on to that let's have a quick look back at the events of the last few days and they've been dominated largely by concerns about escalations in trade wars that's that can be no better illustrated in the way the DAX has performed over the course of the past few days. A number of German car companies have issued warnings to that effect that potential trade tariffs could well impact their forward earnings potential. That's seen Daimler shares sell off quite aggressively and we've seen the DAX push lower for the last five days with the prospects that we could break below this key support level around about 12,500 that's been the base thus far for the past three to four weeks. So concerns about trade likely to remain front and center we've also had an OPEC meeting and the likelihood is we will see a production increase and that in itself is likely to prompt a little bit of a test to the downside in the Brent crude price we're certainly seeing some evidence of a top starting to form here we can draw a line through the peaks from the recent highs in May and I think as long as we remain below this trend line there's a decent chance we can come back and test the original breakout point which I identified a few weeks ago in a video around about $71.65 how we react from there is anybody's guess but ultimately I think whatever OPEC agree and I think they will agree a production increase it could be generally a case of sell the rumor and then buy the fact but ultimately I think in the short term I think central bankers will be hoping that we've hit the peaks when it comes to the rise in oil prices that we've seen over the past few days but I'll certainly be keeping a very close eye on this trend line here from the lows that we saw almost to this day a year ago this is all one-year uptrend line now we can we can redraw it so that it takes in these lows through here but ultimately around about $71 I think is going to be a very very key a very very key level when it comes to where we go to next and I think also if we look at this in very much closer detail could this be the beginnings of a potential head and shoulders reversal for crude oil prices okay so I mean that's basically the key levels that I'm looking for with respect to Brent crude the German DAX more importantly it's been an important week for the pound as well and I think it's particularly timely with respect to the pound given the fact that it's going to be the two year anniversary since the Brexit vote now we have a whole host of economic data coming out next week from the UK economy but one thing I do want to draw your attention to is if you actually look at UK GDP since the Brexit vote we haven't really you wouldn't have even known that there had been a referendum vote particularly given the fact that we heard all these portents of doom and gloom in the lead-up in the event of a no vote we did see a short-term hit but ultimately if we look at a GDP table for the UK economy you can see that in 2016 we posted some decent quarterly numbers 0.6 0.7 last year we saw 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.4 obviously the previous the current quarter or the first quarter of this year we saw 0.1 and we're going to get the final revision for that first quarter GDP number this coming week on the 29th of June obviously a combination of bad weather in March a sharp slowdown in the construction sector because of the woes of Carillion is likely to see a fairly lackluster if almost stagnant UK economy in the first quarter but certainly the data that we've seen since then particularly in services and retail sales has shown a significant rebound and I think that's probably why we saw the Bank of England's policymaker shift ever so slightly to a slightly more hawkish stance with the 6-3 split that we saw on the Monetary Policy Committee arguing for a rate rise in bank rates from 0.5 to 0.75 now I think it's important not to overestimate why that has driven the pound up from the lows that we saw at 1.31 10 earlier today but what is important and interesting I think in this context is the fact that we were able to respect this trend line on this cable chart that I drew from the lows of early last year 2017 we respected that more importantly we've also had our minimum price objective from our reversal breakout that we highlighted at the beginning of May the minimum price objective for this move down was 1.31 10 we've met that and now the big question is where do we go from here now I think one of the reasons why the Bank of England NPC was slightly more hawkish in its statement on Thursday was the fact that since Mark Carney made those comments that a May rate hike was not necessarily the done deal markets thought it was we've seen the pound drop from 1.43 down to 1.31 and that's an 8% decline in as many weeks and that for me is not something the Bank of England would wanted to continue for any length of time because it throws into significant doubt their inflation target they downgraded their inflation target in the May inflation report a lower pound pushes inflation up it's the last thing they want particularly the time when oil prices are on the up so I think there was a bit of tactical voting going on here because ultimately I still think they want to keep the prospect of an August rate rise on the table that will also be Ian McCafferty's last meeting as an NPC member and if they're going to raise rates then then I think ultimately we want to see Ian McCafferty on the committee but obviously we'll also need to see the data continue to improve the way that it has done over the past two months and it has been good in April it's been good in May it's also likely fairly positive I think in June because of the World Cup and you're likely to see quite an awful lot of liquid refreshment consumed over the pools over the course of the past few weeks always assuming that England managed to stay in the competition on the subject of inflation and consumption we've also got EU CPI out this week on the 29th of June also the same day is first quarter GDP and again we've seen that start to show signs of life and I think that's one of the reasons why the ECB is making it quite you know was was quite clear in its wish to end QE by the end of this year but on the flip side I think they are concerned that it might be slightly transitory and that's why they pushed back expectations of a rate rise to the back end of 2019 always assuming that we get a rate rise next year at all it's all about managing expectations and ultimately if you're expecting the Fed to raise rates and other four or five times over the course of the next 12 months what you don't want to see is your currency depreciate too much too quickly against that sort of backdrop we've also got first quarter final GDP for the United States and that's coming along with the latest core PCE numbers we've got inflation first quarter GDP for the United States coming out on the 28th and the 29th of June so big week for GDP revisions and also a big week for inflation so key levels as I've reiterated on crude oil on the German DAX more importantly on the pound against the dollar if we can hold above 130 110 then I think there's a decent chance we can head back and retest the highs of around about 134 60 so that's it for this week thanks very much for listening it's Michael Houston talking to you from CMC Markets


The people who are here are really amazing. It's one of the most compelling communities that I have encountered. And what I like about it is, you know, this conference is about entrepreneurs connecting with capital markets to drive commerce that makes the world a better place. And usually in commerce, the motivations, the main emotional motivations for commerce on the investor side and on the business owner side is typically fear and greed. It's so cap what I've discovered is that the main motivation is love.  The investors are amazing. The entrepreneurs are amazing. They're really coming from the heart and they're using the positive side of their personality to make a difference in a way that's practical in the real world that we all live in.
