Last time we completed the path integral formula and this time I will demonstrate some of its uses and the whole direction of this is that we are going towards the functional formulation of quantum field theory. So, just to explain. So, we can now outline a bit of philosophy of the course. What we want to do is introduce QFT and in it show how to derive Green's functions. So, the most important point is that the most important use of path integral is really as a generating functional of the formulae relating Green's functions. This is somewhat important because after investing so much time studying path integral you might ask what is the use because no chemist ever needs a path integral, no nuclear physicist uses a path integral, no particle physicist uses a path integral. Particle physicists can derive Feynman diagrams for what is called evolution operator the Dyson method of deriving. So, what does path integrals good for? The simple answer is they are good for amusement. However, if you promote them to fields and instead of paths you are then dealing with integrals over configurations of all possible fields then it becomes a very powerful tool and that is what we are going to call the functional integral. So, the functional integral is simply a generalization of the path integral and the main use of it is then it is a powerful method to derive relationships or results dealing with Green's functions. And we can derive one of the most important thing we can derive is effective potential. So, derive or let me just say define effective action. So, these are the things for which the functional method is useful. And just as a preview like a trailer of things to come we had this formula for what did we call it X F T F X I T I and quite importantly not to forget although it is never written any books that is what it is that is what the path integral formula is. The functional integral is actually at that point there is not much point putting, but we can put of course, it is between Dirac picture states equal to and now we write a right. So, here note that the integral over X is over this is integral over all the paths. So, all the paths that start at X I T I and terminate at X F T F, but then over the entire possible phase space. And you remember that all these curly things have all the legal definitions in terms of some square root 2 pi h crosses and all that has gone below. So, it is defined like that and in the limit that n goes to infinity. Here we simply with a great flourish write this where this capital pi is conjugate variable of phi. So, exactly same formula except that now it will be a density and it is d 4 X and from X F T F X I T I to X F T F ok. So, we this is what we are going to do we are going to expand extend the idea of things along paths eventually it is integrations over entire field configurations in the functional space ok. There is another thing I wanted to say which is the tying up of the Fock Dirac quantization for the weak field system, Fock Dirac quantum theory of weakly coupled systems goes over to quantum field theory of space time fields. So, here which uses A of some what had we written some quantum numbers can be transformed into Q F T of space time fields with some indices ok. So, let me just write Lorentz index because I will have to start talking mu nu all that. So, for the time being it is not important what mu nu you put there, but it is a into Q F T of space time fields which is Lorentz covariant. So, what does all this mean? It means if you open a standard textbook of quantum field theory one standard one and which is nice to read is book by Ryder which we have not referred to. He will start directly with these ok with this field theory, but the point is that there is a connection, but that approach is actually just tells you let us quantize fields or as motivation it will say well put oscillators at every point in space time and now put some coupled by spring, then in the continuum limit it looks like fields with derivatives because nearby spring springs are coupled, but then you ask why are there springs at every point in space time. So, there is no real ab initio motivation of where those fields come from. The really the fields come from here which is simply as we proved a consequence of the Fermi or Dirac statistics and if you try to build up the theories of those, then you can introduce this a a dagger operators because those states are labeled by purely number. It does not matter which particle is in which single particle quantum state just how many particles there are in a particular quantum number state and so, that allows you to introduce this commuting or anticommuting operators and then there is this can be transformed to is a slightly long story which most people skip because it is somewhat technical and then they simply write Lorentz covariant fields scale or spinner the vector field you know 4 vector field and so on, but actually this connection is the big one and from systematic point of view why we should construct Lorentz covariant fields and not just deal with a a dagger. We wrote a particular interaction potential you remember with some particles being created, some being destroyed and then some v of all the that thing is very cumbersome because you cannot guarantee that there is momentum conservation, energy conservation, charge conservation and all the quantum numbers involved and Lorentz in whatever space time invariance therefore, it is much better to use these. Now, people just use these and find that it is a nice thing to do, but the this connection is what is a rather a technical one and that is the content of Weinberg volume 1. So, Weinberg volume 1 and spin. So, starting with this it is necessary to or the convenient thing to use or the space time fields for. So, let me say this much it is convenient to use causal space time fields by causal is meant some linear combination of a and a dagger you must have done in quantum 3 a erase to minus i omega t plus i k dot x plus a dagger erase to plus i omega t i. So, you split the positive frequency and negative frequency parts and so on that is what we call a causal field and if you construct this causal field then that will ensure. So, let me just say causal means for example, you have to assemble in this particular way and it is only d 3 k and omega is square root omega k square root of k squared plus m squared that is what is meant by causal field similarly expansion for Dirac field for Maxwell field and so on. So, starting with this it is convenient to use these and why is it convenient because this is what ensures and now get ready for the big content of the theorem. The statement is that if you use causal fields. So, it obeys locality causality. So, this is using covariant local Lagrangians local Lagrangian densities. So, locality causality analyticity and cluster decomposition. This is the way I remember it, but to say it more simply one should. So, causality basically is this Lorentz covariance that influences propagate only inside the light cone. There are effects outside light cone also, but it is a Lorentz covariant description. Locality means that you do not get actions at a distance and so and that would also violate Lorentz invariance. So, it should be local and unitarity is part of the causality statement in a way. Analyticity is something else, but that has to do with also giving these causal answers causal and unitary answers. The last thing is this cluster decomposition which is a complement to the locality part because cluster decomposition means that if I have some 5 particles interacting and 7 coming out, but if I begin to separate out a group of 2 of them say 2 going into 3 and 3 going into 4 or whatever. If I separate out some clusters then effectively their s matrix elements will factorize that process becomes independent of this process. So, that is sort of global locality global implication of locality that if you really move these things apart then they are not mutually interacting which then allows you to focus on local physics at a time. You do not when you do experiment in Geneva you do not have to worry about what is happening in Japan. So, that has to do with this cluster decomposition that experiments that are far apart are not going to influence each other. So, all of these properties are necessarily and sufficiently obtained if you use the causal fields and the causal fields ultimately can be constructed out of these the Fock Dirac construction and this is the real physical basis of quantum field theory. However, you will find people who say so, why worry about all these a's and a daggers and so on just start with some fields some space time fields. And in fact, we know that there are so, here the s matrix becomes a crucial ingredient that we are only concerned about s matrix to be obtained from field theory from this quantum physics, but there are non s matrix things that we require from quantum field theory. There are for example, bound states. So, how do you compute bound states out of their ingredients? Well the answer is in relativistic physics we do not have very good methods at present. There are this so, called goes by the name of beta and such and so on to obtain bound states, but I do not think they have been very successful. So, there was a nuclear bound states would have been calculated from quarks by now they have not been. So, there are questions that are not answered by the s matrix, but there they can still be described in terms of causal fields. So, the causal field framework seems to be more powerful than just this necessary sufficient requirement for the s matrix and this is why field theory remains of great interest QFT seems to ok, and quarks and gluons are reasonably well described good. So, much by way of the philosophy of the course and I waited till the third lecture to tell. So, now, we just come back. So, I waited till the third lecture to lay this out because at least now we have seen the path integral and the Fock Dirac quantization. So, you know what we are talking about and as you also know that it is only after the initial credits rolled by that the movie starts right. So, now we plunge back into the path integral and learn how to do some calculation with it.


All right, let's get to that breaking news stories with breaking news breaking news breaking news With the coronavirus spreading Governments across the world have started taking up increasing actions to slow the virus is spread in China Some 45 million people are under quarantine across Italy schools have been shut down and the US passed an 8.3 billion dollar Funding bill aimed at fighting the virus The only problem the virus isn't containable, but newer reports show that this isn't as bad as many people fear Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on any future videos and let's jump in Three months ago on New Year's Eve The Chinese government announced a new strain of coronavirus had been spreading throughout Wuhan, China Since then the virus has spread to more than a hundred thousand people across 61 countries So we have two things to discuss the first why even with all the actions Governments of the world have been taking is the coronavirus uncontainable and the second why that's not as bad as you might think The three things that make the virus impossible to contain are how easily it spreads How long it takes to show symptoms and how many people never show symptoms at all The best way to talk about how contagious a virus is is by talking about its are not value in Simple terms are not predicts the number of people who can catch a given bug from a single person a Number less than one and the virus will quickly die out Greater than one and now you have a pandemic on your hands for reference The flu has an are not of 1.3 and the 2018 Ebola outbreak had an are not of about two Both less than the coronaviruses are not of 2.2 that puts it on part with the Chinese SARS outbreak from the early 2000s and the 1918 influenza pandemic which was one of the deadliest pandemics ever recorded This means that the virus can spread quickly between people and the number of cases would be expected to rise Exponentially another useful metric when talking about diseases is the incubation time or the time between being exposed and when you first display Symptoms this is the time frame that you can spread the disease before even knowing you have it for the flu The incubation time is only about a day, but for the coronavirus It's two weeks This is one of the main factors that has made containment so difficult people can get infected fly across the world Have dinner with their friends go out meet new people shake their hands and cough into the air for two weeks Before they even realize they've been infected. This has allowed the virus to spread to 61 countries Even sneaking past airport checkpoints another example of the problems this long incubation time can pose or the new work policies Many companies have implemented many companies have started telling their employees that if they think they've caught the bug to stay home But by the point that an employee realizes they're sick they would have already been contagious and showing up to work for two weeks and while China quarantining nearly 50 million people has No doubt slowed the virus's advance. They can't stay quarantined forever and officials fear that once the quarantine is lifted The virus will pick back up again Finally according to health officials out of the WHO 80% of cases are mild to moderate meaning the majority of people might not even realize they've caught the virus Allowing it to spread further since those people won't think to isolate themselves This has led many health officials including some at the WHO to fear that the hundred thousand reported cases worldwide Might be an underestimate, but this is also good news Hundreds of millions if not billions of people are thinking about the virus But for four out of five people that catch it symptoms won't be much and only six percent of people who caught it Required immediate health support and as more cases have come in Officials have realized the death toll will likely be far lower than initially expected and Wuhan where doctors became Overwhelmed by the sudden influx of patients the fatality rate was nearly six percent But in other parts of China that got time to prepare the death toll was less than one percent And like we mentioned earlier if many people catch the virus without even realizing it even the one percent might be artificially inflated Even more than that if a few days more preparedness was enough to lower the death rate by 85% the rest of the world that got even more time and Realistically has better health infrastructure should be even better equipped to deal with these new cases This isn't to say that we shouldn't fear the virus or take steps to prevent its spread Well overall death rates are low for those over the age of 80 or with existing heart conditions They have a nearly one in five fatality risk if they catch the virus for now Make sure to wash your hands and stay home if you start coughing a lot If you like the video consider watching our dive into the origins of the coronavirus here and remember there's always more to learn


him safe this evening, bless the food and the hands that have prepared this meal. The Continental Congress at war in both hemisphere has come to signify all that is piced in military efficiency and soldierly virtue. Our birthday cake cutting ceremony is important to our Marines as it is an annual renewal of each British commitment to the Corps and it is our custom. The first piece of cake we cut by the commanding officer and presented to our guest of honor Sergeant Mike Noah, United States Marine Corps. Sergeant Noah is also our oldest Korean president this evening, a native of New York City, New York and was born on 11th of February 1947. Weigh city or a mine and while battlefields and technology change the qualities of a Marine are timeless. I'd like to take a moment to recognize those that made this fall fall. First of all, the two of us share a force of union.


Hi, how's everybody doing today? This is your host Rich here on behalf of Rich TV Live with our very special guest. It's Daniel Usterman, the VP of exploration for Silver Elephant Mining. How are you doing today, Daniel? Very well, Rich. Thank you for having me. Thank you for being here. Excited to speak to you again. And Silver Elephant Mining had a monster day today. And I wanted to go into that with you because I thought the news in the headline was pretty spectacular. Silver Elephant reports 106.7 million ounce indicated and 13.1 million ounces inferred Silver Mineral Resource estimate for the Policayo project. What exactly does this mean for the company? Well, for us, it means that we stated an objective within the next 12 to 18 months that we would put within the company stable 300 plus million ounces into the company for our investors to own. This really marks the first step of that. We looked at, we have our Policayo project and what we did is when that project we first acquired it. Silver prices were a little low. And now with the current bullish market on Silver, we realized we have to revisit the mineral resource estimate for Policayo. And in doing so, we're able to include a lot of material that was not included in the previous mineral resource estimate. Keeping in mind, we had a 400 gram per ton cutoff in that previous mineral resource estimate, which is very high grade. And it held up very well, mind you. It just goes to show you how much high grade material still resides in our Policayo project. But now we were able to bring in a lot of this other material into the mineral resource estimate. Now using instead of a 400 gram cutoff, we're able to use for the in-pit resource a 30 gram cutoff and for the out-of-pit 100 gram cutoff. So it really means that we are starting to deliver on our promise to really add in the ounces into the company stable. And by virtue of doing so, give an opportunity for our shareholders. Yeah. And that's one of the modus operandis of your company is that you want your shareholders to hold the most amount of Silver. Yes. What do you exactly do mean by that? Like, I love that. What does that exactly mean? Like, how can I own the most amount of Silver by buying Silver Elfin Mining? Well, there's obviously in the market that you can buy Silver in the market, but a lot of Silver is still locked in the ground. It's a precious metal. And in order for a lot of people to have access to any sort of Silver evaluation, the next option after bullion is, of course, going into Silver Mining companies. And we recognize that. And as such, we see that us bringing in as much Silver ounces into the company gives much more opportunity for anybody who decides to invest in our company. We have recently acquired the Sunawayo project which we discussed our last time we spoke. Before that, we also had acquired the El Triumfo project. And of course, now with this Polokayo mineral resource estimate, we really put a lot of flavor onto that project as well, which is part of our three O's of our projects. Now, the volume today was phenomenal. The stock was up 9% and the volume was 2.5 million shares at around 47.5 cents. Since I've been watching this company, I've never seen the volume that big.  As far as I know, I think it is definitely among one of the highest trading days that we've had. I think it reflects a very positive reception of our mineral resource estimate. Now, for a shareholder that's interested in getting into this company, there's so many mining companies out there. There's so many gold stocks out there. Everybody right now is saying we're going into a gold and a silver bull market, which I believe we are. And many people are saying we're kind of only halfway through that, and there's still a long ways to go. Some people are saying we're in the beginning of it. What do you think? Where do you think we are in this metals market right now? Gold's already been over 2000. It's come back down, had a tougher day today. Silver's been pretty high, but come back down a little bit, but many people still think it can go way higher. Where do you think we are in this metals market right now? Are we in the middle of a bull run? Are we in the beginning? Are we in the end? What do you think? Personally, I think we are at the beginning of a bull run. We have had a lot of downward pressure on a lot of precious metals over the recent years. And I think it's just now coming to a point where people are starting to see, obviously, with gold being what it is and starting to hit that $2,000 mark, people are seeing silver as a rational opportunity, one that isn't as expensive as gold to get into. And I think we're just at the beginning, Rich. I think we have hopefully a good couple of years on this bull run. And then what about silver elephant mining? Where are we in the evolution of this company? We're currently at $0.47 and a half cents. We've got investors that will be watching this video from all over the world that are going to be looking at this company, wondering whether or not they should invest their hard-earned dollars in this company, this silver small-cap company, which really, when you look at the market cap, it's still just a baby market cap. What is your guys' goal as a company as far as growing your market cap? Do you have a goal? Is there a number you guys have in mind? Absolutely. I mean, if you look at some peer comps in terms of our group of peer comparisons, we see companies that, silver companies that have decent valuation, they tend to have, well, this is one of the reasons we're looking at that 300 million ounce market. 200 million ounce plus, they appear to be in that 300 million market cap or higher. And so that's one of the reasons, of course, our philosophy is to add more silver ounces into the ground. But that is exactly what we're going to do. We're going to do it by two ways. And we're going to do it by exploring. So we have those three O's, the three O's of the projects that we will be adding more silver by exploring those. Plus, we have that mineral resource estimate. And we really want to bring every project that we have to a stage where we can look at a mineral resource estimate. And every time we do that, we will be realizing ounces. Alternatively, aside from exploration, we will also be doing, we are still also looking at project acquisitions. Bolivia is silver elephant country. It's part of one of the reasons of our name. And really, we have a very strong team there. We have a strong position in Bolivia. And we think that that gives us an advantage of looking at projects in Bolivia, but also outside of Bolivia as well. We're looking at any option where we can really maintain that goal of adding those ounces. Now, you guys have before today a market cap of about 68 million. So let's just say that your market cap is now over 70 million. So if you guys are setting a goal of having a 300 million market cap, that means we could anticipate that this could grow 400 to 500% from these prices. That's my simple math. Exactly. I mean, we see, we look at these other companies, we see what they have, we study them, and we say, listen, what are the differences between us and them? And there's a very simple difference in a lot of cases. And the case simply is, the more ounces you have that in the ground for any of these projects, there tends to reflect on the market in a positive way. So that's a very simple formula for us to follow. And that's when we're going to achieve having the team that we have in place. Now, are there any catalysts that we can anticipate are going to be coming that we can look forward to as investors? We love catalysts, we love to see things that happen today with the news, and then the stock explodes 10%. So any catalyst that we can look forward to in the next weeks or months ahead? Sure. Well, we are initiating exploration at both Pulakayo and also at our Soon-A-Wild project, which we discussed last time. We just finished drilling at El Trianfo project. So those assays are now in the lab, so we should expect results from that drilling probably by the end of the month or early next month. We also completed the drill program at our Pulakayo project at the PACA deposit. So that was there to test some ideas. Well, hopefully we'll get some positive results out of that. And that will be an exciting catalyst for us going forward. And the work that we'll be doing at Soon-A-Wild is really to bring it to a drill-ready stage. So we hope to announce drilling at Soon-A-Wild and hopefully get some positive results from that. We just released a news release stating that we had taken samples from Soon-A-Wild on a recon sampling project. Out of 48 samples, 47 had a gram silver or higher, which means so that's all surface mineralization. That project has never been drilled before. And so we've identified four areas in that project that look really, really interesting to us. And finally, as mentioned in our last conversation, Rich, we have an application in for the mining production contract for Malkukota. And Malkukota has a historic resource of 350 million ounces of silver. And if we are able to achieve that in the next six to eight months, we think that'll be a very, very, very strong, let's say, boon for us and of course our investors. Yeah, I think that would be a fantastic catalyst. If there's anything else you want to leave shareholders with that are watching this video about silver elephant mining, what would it be? Well, I think this most recent release really just is an indication of how we do deliver on what we intend to do. We move at a very fast pace, we're very ambitious, and we have very focused goals. I think really just, I think that's one of the key takeaways. And as you said, we've given our valuation, we really feel that we're undervalued at this time. And that really means an opportunity for anybody who wants to get in at the ground level on a lot of our projects. That's fantastic. Well, thank you so much for joining us again. Daniel Oosterman, the VP of exploration for Silver Elephant Mining. We love having you on the show.  We'd love to have you be in front of our community. A lot of our investors are holding this stock. They're very pleased today. Congratulations on a huge breakthrough day. And hopefully you guys can continue to evolve. Thank you very much, Richard. Have yourself a nice day. Thank you, Daniel. And thank you guys for watching.


We are on a date right now. I'm about to interview Kimmy, you know. I think this is good. It's all that matter. Surprise or not. You gotta surprise these taste buds. I don't know if it's gonna be good or not, but you know, you gotta trust the process. We are on a date right now. We're on a date right now, so I'm about to interview Kimmy, you know. I have a fur dog at home. I'm looking for a mother for him, you know. So I'm trying to see if she eats. What kind of fur dog is it? Cause I already have two. Oh lord. So that would be three.  You're not gonna take my kids in. I can do one for one, but you got two? I'm all back here, honey. Oh man, I don't know. This is deep. I've got two dogs.  I have a jitsu, and then I have a laparodoro. Okay, so literally he does. The laparodoro, he's like the handful.  Like he's just hyper. He's not trained. I train him to use a bathroom outside, and like that's about it. Anything else is kind of like. See, that's why a man is needed in a household for discipline. You know, in order. The man is not needed in the household, because I can easily pay a trainer and my dog will be trained. I do get well trained. I do get an American bully. He's five years old. He's well trained. He knows not to potty in the house. He knows when to sit. He knows when to lay down. Mind sets for treats. Man, that's good. So I want to ask you something. You have to be really honest. I'm not done asking you questions about your dog. You're done. So what has having dogs taught you? What has dogs taught me?  I take a lot of my time, and I feel like some people should not have dogs. Honestly, I personally shouldn't have dogs, because I move around way too much. But my first dog, I had him since he was like three months old. So then I wanted to get him like a company, so then I got the big dog. So now they keep each other company. But I'm still always going out or traveling. So it's kind of like, I shouldn't have a dog. Hey, this is what it is. At least I'm not kids. Did you move around a lot? What do you mean? Work a lot. And then I work from home a couple of days. I like traveling. I like doing things on the weekend, whether it's in town or out of town. So things like that. I move around a lot. I'm not always home. Because it's just me and my dog. So I honestly do not like being home. So what does that mean? You don't like being home. You have to treat yourself. I don't like being home. I like being out, experiencing life, whether that's out or at the beach, or traveling, or with friends, or at dinner, or at brunch, at the club. Like I just like being out. So you're not much of a homebody? No. Not at all. Is that a problem? Are you a homebody? I doubt it.  No, I don't like being in the scene. I'm very low-key.  Like, oh, well, I haven't seen Canada in a while. But I don't stay out in the scene. I'm very low-key. I don't like being in the scene. I don't really like crowds, people. I don't like familiar areas all the time. People tell me to miss me. I hang in, like, I like traveling. I travel a lot. It's more like nightlife. That's what I'm like. I go to the coffee shop. I go to the gym. I'm very, like, structured and routine. I'm in the city. Like, I do the same things. I go to the beach. I just recently got school certified. So I'm very much like an out-of-the-worth person. I fish a lot. The family's important to me. So I spend a lot of time with them. I'm definitely an out-of-the-worth person. Are you? Yeah, I've seen the club lights. What? Tell me about that. What? You guys want to buy some crew? Oh, I know. I went on a trip, but it was so much fun. So we went hiking. I've never been hiking in my life. That was actually my first time hiking. And it was like crazy. How are you an out-of-the-worth person? That's your first time hiking. Okay, out-of-the-worth could be anything. Could be at the beach. Anything outdoor. But that was like extreme for me. So I think the first time I ever went hiking was live in California when I went to visit a friend. But it was like baby hiking. It wasn't like real hiking. All right, all right. So this right here, we walked for like three hours to go to Machu Picchu and then three hours back to catch the bus and go back to the hotel. Okay. But it was cool. It was very tiring. But honestly, like when we were walking, like you would see people like in the morning, like you know, they're going to like taking their kids to school, but they're like they're walking in like, it's like the jungle.  You have people that do that whole walk for like four days. And like I did it for three hours and I was like, this is like not for me at all. Like, I don't think I could do that. But it was definitely, it was fun. Okay.  I'm very like, I'm very tomboy and very girly. So, you know, like if I got to get dirty, I'm going to get dirty. But I'm also like very girly. Kind of like a 50-50. I thought I was going to match you out doing this. I know you're Puerto Rican. Yup, I'm Puerto Rican. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. That's actually how I'm like kind of like a tomboyish because I was, you know, like raised by my mom and my dad. And I was very, very close to my dad and I was super like tomboyish with him. Like anything he was doing, like I was right there with him. And then he passed away. So like when I was 13. So then I became like more closer to my mom and my sister. So then that girly side, you know, started like coming out. But I was like, I never had a doll or Barbie growing up. Like I was like a bicycle scooter type of girl. Like I just want to be like outside. That's just, I've always been like that. Okay. But it was fun. That's good, that's good. How many children's do you have? Just one sister. Hold her? Yeah. How many years apart are you? We're four. Four years apart. Okay. Yeah, just 30 more. Okay. Do you have relatives? I do. I have a older brother. I enjoy my siblings. I enjoy my family being able to spend time with them, you know. Especially having little sisters. Like I'm glad my little sister is younger than me. Except like I'm able to guide her and keep her away from certain things. I'm able to like provide and protect her in a certain way. You know, like as a brother. Of course she has my dad. But you know, one thing, look at that experience. Yeah. Are you that type like in relationship? Like you're the provider and protector? Absolutely. Yeah. I'm very much like, once I give my time to somebody and I take them serious and I move towards their relationship, I understand my role, you know. And I understand the role that I desire to play and I communicate that, you know. That's like how I was raised, you know. I saw my dad be a provider, be a protector. And in multiple ways, not just financially, but with love, with discipline, with structure, with laughter, with humor, with fun. You know, I saw a good balance between him and my mother, you know, like and their roles and their duties as husband and wife. So that's a big for me. That's why my dad was so serious for me. Like what's that? Like I don't just introduce people to like my family and friends. Like right after that. It takes time for me to really like get to know somebody. Yeah. Because when I move into that point of life, alright, you know, I like you in a relationship, that's a big step for me, you know. Because when I do date, I date for the intention of like marriage with me and the angle. I don't just date without an angle. I don't just date to date, you know. So I've only been in three relationships. So why are you so serious about dating? Why decided to take me out of the date? Why decided to take you out of the date? Well, we're on the talking phase. This is the intro. I think this is the disconnect. Because I go dating, talking, and relationship. There's no disconnect. This is your point of view. So you go talking and dating and relationship? Yeah, I go talking. There's no, we're talking. So I go through like this. So the first 90 days it's like talking, getting to know one another. So I'm on a 90 day probation? Yeah, 90 day probation. So if you get past the 90 day probation, then we have a conversation. I said I have a conversation with you. Things are going well. I'm going to learn a lot about each other. So I have a lot more to learn. But after that point in time, then I would ask you, like, okay, are you willing, able, ready to be my girlfriend? And then we boost that next phase of the process. I feel like it's kind of like a contract. Like, where's the romance, you know? Do you want to be my girlfriend? Like, are you cute about it? I mean, it's just kind of like, we're going to sit down. You're going to sign this contract. I'm just breaking down the logistics of it right now. Like, when it happens, it happens, you know. But that's just my process. That's my flow. That's how I do things. I'm very much a man of, like, direction and order. You know, I don't just like, oh, I don't know what we're doing when we're having a situation shift. Like, you know, I don't know where we stand at. You don't believe in gray areas? No, I don't. I've talked to gray areas. Anytime somebody, you know, I feel a gray area or, like, somebody's going to share, it's like, all right, cool. Like, well, you don't have to, like, continue this process. You know, so that's what that 90 days to, like, six months, I'm big on friendship. I'm big on, like, that's taking our time, like, not jumping in a romance or intimacy in any form, you know, but really just being friends for, like, three to six months. And then, like, if we both feel comfortable, like, wow, okay, I really know you. We've let our guard down. Because it's easy, like, to play a role. It's easy to, like, like somebody and, like, put on your best self, but, like, I think it's important for us to both see our flaws and see our weaknesses, you know. Like, I'm a pretty perfect person. See some time. That's cocky. That's confidence. That is not... I hate when people say that. That is confidence. No, it's not. There's a thin line between you being, like, super cocky and confident. Well, the more that you learn it, y'all. And you're not perfect. None of us are perfect. I said I got some flaws. Now, I'm 80% of the time I'm correct. I got a 20% error, you know. So that's my margin. But, yeah. How do you do it with those flaws?  I can work out. Like, I can work good things. But in reality, the minute somebody starts showing, like, nowadays it's, like, red flags. People are, like, so quick to be, like, oh, my God, like, he didn't do this. So, like, that's a red flag. And then the minute people see, like, a red flag, which, to me, a red flag, it's a flaw. It's not really, like, a red flag. Just, like, what's like that thin line where it's, like, okay, it's a red flag or a flaw, whatever, however you want to define it. But, like, you know, no one's perfect. So, like, are you willing to, like, work through those flaws? Like, what are your, like, deal breakers? Because we all have those deal breakers. But then, like, don't confuse deal breakers. Because we're, like, okay, she got, she showed me one red flag. I'm done. And I'm on this, I'm on this 90 day probation and I already feel the pressure. No, no, no. It's like, I give everybody, like, generally two chances, but three. You know, I try to be, I understand, like, we're not perfect.  But I don't understand that, like, I have my issues. I have my moment as a man. But, um, I'm big on vulnerability. Like, once I let my guard down with you, like, and we step into a relationship, it's important for me as a man to know that when I, like, to the world, I need to, I have to be a super man type figure. But when I come home, I just want to be Clark Kent. I want to be able to be vulnerable. I want to be able to take off my crown and be able to know that I can trust you with valuable emotional information and that you don't need to be against me. Yeah. And so, like, I need to know that as a safe space. But once you, once that's not a tank, it's hard for me to, like, I, I, I forget, you know, but as I said, I try to get people two chances. It's like, three, if I got to give you three chances to prove yourself, it's like, nah. Like, one chance. What do you mean? Third time is a turn. That's what they say. Nah. At this point in time of life, I don't know if I had that much. It's like, if it's the same thing, like, you, you showing me, like, you were getting the same mistake. No. Okay. So I agree with you on that. Like, I feel like if you have a conversation with someone, right, and, like, it's about, like, a specific, you know, situation or issue and, like, they keep doing it and that's different because you're already brought up to their attention and it's like, it's continued. Like, through dating, relationship, like, it doesn't matter how long you're getting together. There's always going to, like, things are going to happen worse, like, whether you don't like it or you just wrote the other wrong way. So it's like, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the same thing, but always something, it's always going to happen. So, like... It's a learning process for sure. It's definitely a learning process. It's a learning process. That's why I think it's important for the three to six months of just being friends and just communicating, having an open conversation, not Netflix and still, and not being in intimate spaces to where, like, we allow that honeymoon phase and the, like, the infatuation to override, you know, and we skip steps of really knowing who somebody is, you know. So I think that's why that phase is so important to really just have to ask these type of questions to know, like, what do you think about this? You know, what are your thoughts on finances? What are your thoughts about kids? You know, like, I'm big on that. You know, like, again, it's a serious process for me because I know that I'm going to be married and, like, I don't believe in divorce. So it's just like, whatever we got to do with this, like, this initial phase to really get to know one another, let's do that, you know?  So it's a slow process. I don't know, I feel like I'm a pretty open book. Open book, but, like, emotionally, like, opening is different. I agree. So, like, we need to communicate about, like, past things, but, like, opening up and letting me in is okay. It's my safe space without there being, like, a commitment there, you know? Which I don't, like, I like to verbally say, hey, this is where we're at. And then, like, I think for a woman, like, knowing where a man is leading you is safety, you know? So that's okay, like, nah, like, okay, this is what he says and when a man, his actions and his words match, like, I think that's a, like, a comforting thing for them. You know what? Honestly, that's sometimes that it doesn't mean anything but when I dated, you know, it's always like that, like, you know, you talk to your friends and you're like, well, girl, he's saying something and he's not doing it and then he's not the one. But then I've actually dated, you know, people that or a person that was literally doing everything he said, he, like, does, like, his actions match his words. And then, at the end, it was just kind of, like, it didn't mean anything. You know, it was like 90 days. So to me, like you said, people can play a role to be like, we're grown. Like people know what they need to say or do to, like, you know, get someone's attention or, like, try to like make things work or like make things last however long they need it to last. So to me, that's why I tell you, like, the whole 90 day, honestly, like, I mean, that's your personal opinion but because of my experiences, like, anyone just can put up that like you would be surprised what people are doing so like I just feel like I'm making on like time would tell so like if you have that connection with that person like time would only tell right I agree I agree I think I think it's hard for people to maintain that like persona more than six to eight months I think like after that eight month mark there's a lot of things like happening we're like okay like what's going on right I guess I've seen like pieces of like the real you but I think that's the point of all that I think that's the point of dating you know like it's a trial phase to see that and work through things I think people today like you said are so easy to cut people off like I understand that love is work it shouldn't be bored though you know yeah it's work it is effort it is like okay I gotta yeah I gotta change I gotta I gotta give this person space in room what's people's biggest misconception about you kind of like what you what you kind of alluded to I'm a very confident person you know but it can be it can be taken initially when you don't know me fully that's okay he's kind of cocky yeah I'm just a very confident person I'm just very sure of myself yeah but once women like get an opportunity to like it's never been to the point where it's a turn off for any women it's like it's different you know like a man that's sure of himself a lot I feel like a lot of women have experienced guys that aren't sure of themselves and have insecurities like great I'm not perfect you know but I'm very sure of who I am and where I'm going so I bring that energy initially to let to give off like kind of like the role that I play I'm very much a leader I'm very much like this is kind of a cliche to say but a man's man you know that I like that traditional role so I lead with that energy of like confidence versus like they wouldn't be attracted to a man if he didn't want sure himself a very down south very weak you know so but it's never the business like native but that's something that like if people only know me on the surface they might say that but it's appreciated like once you get to like really like understand me and say okay like this is just who he is right but other than that I don't know I don't think I'm an easy book to like read I think people try and read me but I'm a very like I'm very social with people I'm very but I'm still very like closed up you know like I'm friendly with people and so I'm very open in the sense that like I make people feel comfortable in my space and so they feel closer to me so that's one thing but what about yourself like what's something that people like miss true about this miss oh definitely confuse my personality I'm very like friendly very like outgoing and people get me mistaken like by just because I'm that way like I'm not gonna like make a difference between like my partner and my friends so it's kind of like well she's like she's outgoing she's friendly so she doesn't want a relationship so I come up like the girl that just don't want a relationship don't want to have marriage and it's like literally no that's like my ultimate goal like I want to be a wife I want to have a relationship but like just because I'm friendly I'm outgoing like you know I like talking to people like meeting your people whether it's like guy or girls like that's just who I am as a personal I have as a person I'm like I have a very bubbly personality people may like communicate that and then they don't take that initiative to like you know date me or talk to me like okay let's have a relationship because they just think that way and then when they see me in a real relationship they're like whoa I didn't think that you wanted a relationship and then I lost it like you misunderstood my personality for your day and I said like access a lot of people were like well you know because of your personality people have access to you it was like access to me like in what way just because someone has access to how a conversation with me whether it's you know anywhere doesn't mean they have access to me like my emotional personal like my family like things that are personal to me not necessarily there's levels to having access to someone like on a surface level just to have a conversation with them had nothing to do with like getting personal with me so I feel like people need to understand that so they just feel like because I'm friendly anybody has access to me and I feel like that's completely wrong but I'm never gonna change my personality so like if I have to live with that misconception about me then that's just what it is because that's what this is who I am I like being friendly and talkative so if you think a certain way of me and you don't let like time prove you wrong then that's a chance you didn't take so is it that people just take you as friendly and talkative or do they see you as flirting I think both I think they see that I'm friendly and like flirtatious okay so in relationship oh I'm not gonna be flirtatious in a relationship I don't think I'm flirtatious single it's just literally that's how I am like I don't think I don't think to me like I'm flirting it's just people think that because a girl is talking and she's smiling and she's like happy bubbly it's like guys like to take that credit like oh my god I was making her laugh I was like no that's just me like I'm a happy person like I make myself like you know but people are so quick to like feel themselves over like oh I was making her laugh she was entertaining she was giving me energy it's like no I wasn't I was just being myself and like laughing like it had nothing to do with you so what's one thing you love about your personality that I get to me a lot of people my career is because of my personality my previous job I used to sell cars and I used to go like work at this like you know concerts that you know the leadership used to sponsor and I was you know I was talking to people and I made friends with like this person that works at my job now this TV station and eventually like after I got tired of selling cars and working hours I talked to them I you know try to see if you gave me a job and I got the job I've been in this company for four and a half years I never went to college for marketing nothing about media nothing about advertising and I got this job solely because me talking to someone interesting for me and she don't get the job okay all right I'm much what's it up real quick so let's talk about like so something that's important to me is my relationship with God you know I'm not a religious person but I take my my walk serious you know so like what are your spiritual beliefs what does that look like and what were you like how did you grow up did you grow a Christian Catholic Buddhist Christian I like I'm the same way like I'm not gonna force no no religion into someone but like you have to believe in something and I think like you don't believe in anything that you'll like fall for anything so to me like God has to be like very present in like our relationship for sure what does that look like in your day-to-day life day today I mean as far as like what like oh in the morning like when I wake up I'll listen to like a morning prayer and like at night time I'll always you know pray because you have to be grateful for everything you have like especially like when you travel a lot and you see the way these people live and you come back home and you like oh my god like you literally live like so less than like lucky as people say because of like the things you have and what we think is so little we're working for more more more more you what you have it's like more than anybody just people have right now so I feel like every day waking up and just thinking about the waking up a lot of people are like battling with like healthy shoes you know like not knowing and they're gonna wake up tomorrow like any you know have another day of life so it's like the little things really matter the most other than just working so hard and I feel like you give me that workaholic vibe you work a lot and I feel like if you're if you like you know you're religious and you're Christian I don't know what your religion is but like do you ever sit down to just kind of like okay I know I'm working so hard to like have this whatever so that you're looking to you know pursue it but like do you ever sit down and kind of be grateful for what you already have yeah so that's something else that people miss get misconstrued about being an entrepreneur I probably only work maybe like two or four hours a week and I spend the rest of my time being gratitude now take care of myself reading praying and meditating you know so like I went when I was younger I went through that workaholic phase got a grant 24-7 but I realized that's like a prison you know it leads to nowhere you know so I'm big like I want to have a family one day and I'm gonna be able to raise my family and be there like I want to be traveling on the road and going all the time I'm big on like I want you to have past the strength of income so we're like I have time you know more so than money I just my time yeah that's what I bring to the table I've been able to master and get control of that you know and it's not even to me I gave God the boy how I got to where I am today but I'm big on just like traveling to join life you know I'm very grateful I sometimes do every day at Journal everyday and I just write out what this is about for me.  I journal. I write every night. That's good. I literally have like so many books that's how I actually got over my when my father passed away the first year was like you know it's always gonna be like when somebody passed away the first year is always gonna be the hardest year because that's like your first Christmas your first birthday without you know them in there so it's like a new feeling that you're experiencing not having that person so I've always wrote ever since like I was a little girl so when he passed away I had a book I still have it from like every single like month I would write something you know and that's how like that that's what helped me like kind of like cope with everything and now like sometimes I'm like I don't know how to like now I'm learning that's like I've had relationships and you know things have happened like sometimes writing things and somebody like reading them they're not gonna understand like what you mean or like your point always so like I'm learning how to communicate that more but I've always like if somebody asked me what's your best way to communicate like I'm gonna write page letter and I'll tell you all my feelings but that's like the easiest way for me to like express my feelings or somebody or like if I'm going through something I just I don't know what to do about it I'm just gonna write it even like on my phone sometimes like I just write a quick note about it like all like by the time I'm done writing it just kind of like you just sometimes gotta like get it out and once you get it out you read it it's kind of like sometimes you don't even want to tell that person what's going on you just kind of want to put it down read it yourself and then you kind of like okay now you understand yeah it's a very therapeutic process I think it's easy to like read people and like kind of misjudgment you know I try and for me personally I've been working like I'm not perfect with it but I try to work on being more about open open mind like as I meet people you know I think a lot of times people like look at me and like hear about like certain parts of my life they automatically assume that like man you probably like just all you want to do is work and like take money that's just like the very like my personality you know but with that being said like what is your dream life look like what are you working towards what is it what are some things that you're happy that you have accomplished and what is it that you hope to accomplish in the future I think I'm living my dream life to be honest I love my career I'm able to travel you know the only thing that I'm missing out of my life right now it's you know somebody to share that with like a husband and you know kids eventually but like I don't want to have I don't want to need someone to like have kids like what a way like I want me and my partner to experience like life just for us because I don't have kids but I know a lot of people that have kids and kids truly change your life like your time it's no longer your time just like a selfish at in my sound I don't enjoy my husband before these kids take all his time because it's going to be all about them like I want to be able to travel with him I want to have fun with him like you know whatever that is that we enjoy doing together I want to do that for a few years before we even think about giving our time to someone else so I feel like I love my life right now the way it is you know I'm grateful for everything that I have that's just the only thing that's been missing piece you know a husband and eventually get other than that this is random but what's your time span on like from dating like your inner relationship with somebody to like marriage do you have a timeline like we made somebody for five years no no I did that and I was young I was 18 you know 17 I think my first relationship was like almost five years but you know at that time you're young you're growing together you're still figuring things out but me now as a grown woman like if it's I don't want to put a time to it honestly but it's definitely not five years like I'm not gonna be doing some right like I just feel like men know men know when she's the one you know so it's like us women we also know so it's like as a man if you're dating me for all these years and you still haven't proposed to me like then I'm not the one like are you vocal about whatever you ask me to have a go go everything so yes that's why I feel like sometimes I come across very like bossy or like the man but it's just like you want a person that says you how they feel or someone that you want to try to figure out how they feel like I'm just gonna tell you how it is you they're gonna like it or hate it and break up with me oh I'm excited about this food I'm excited you won't like this food because it's not a delicious combination of steak potatoes little you know healthy green beans and salad so first of all you're not the only one putting rules here I like how you're giving me 90 days you know because I'm not see I don't have rules like that just go with the flow and if the flow doesn't go anywhere then I can stop but you got all this rule like I gotta check all these boxes can you can you put a fan up can you think it's all hot can you build me a house a girl gonna cook as laundry what else I can taste absolutely and then man they build that the whole thing with nothing but rock so absolutely I think it went pretty good I think it went pretty like natural then we got a lot of like key point questions that should be asked when you go on a date but like people are so scared to like ask questions because they don't want to feel like it's like an interview but I feel like you can just have a conversation and like ask all these questions as you go maybe because I'm in sales so that's part of it you got to get information as you like meet with them go with the flow but still ask your question because the whole point of going on a date is to know if you want to go on the next day with this person like how you're gonna know this if you don't ask the right question that's how people get caught up in a six-month situation if it doesn't go anywhere right do you feel like there are any key things that you noticed anything that he did or said this stood out to you definitely that he's um he's a family man he wants marriage and that means like he wants a commitment so he's dating you know long-term and a marriage is not just dating you know to like see what happens okay anything else like any of his actions any of his body language this stood out to you he's very calm I feel like I'm very hyper he's like very calm so it like calms me down like brings me down to like his level so I think that's good but usually go with like the hyper type of guys so if this was a real date would he get the second date I think you but yeah okay I think it was cool man you know just an intro you know filling each other out I'm very like my demeanor is very unique you know but I think we handled each other very well you know I I'm very much a how can I say this like I don't just have a very much a leader mentality so I like to see that like a woman that can keep up with that so I feel like can make you keep up with my personality and she's not like nervous or scared like see you know I give a little pressure and she gives it back you know so like I appreciate that that we're both able to just kind of like balance each other out in conversation and like I could be very sarcastic and like jokey and you know things that I say and do but I was glad that should you get like offended or like you know just allowing me to beat me so that's I think that's very important so we're asking a lot more questions the first day I generally like I don't reveal a whole lot you know like I could tell like the certain things she asked at the end like I very much do you know but we didn't get that far into like me allowing her to kind of like ask me more I'm generally more like a very slow opener to like reveal in myself and who I am I really like to allow the women that I date to like talk and give me their point of view and I'll answer questions that they asked as well but like it's a process is a journey but I was able to like really get to know some core things about her that are important to me and I think she's able to learn a few things about me but there's there's a lot more depth you know to me than that that she doesn't know yet so yeah do you feel like there were any core things that stood out to you like any of her actions body language anything that she did this and maybe apply when you know going out there and dating and looking for that right person for themselves to sit up man honestly I appreciate her confidence I appreciate how vocal she is I appreciate that she's outgoing she has a bubbly personality I can tell that she's very much a leader herself she's a go-getter she knows what it is that she wants I appreciate it you know when I asked her about her relationship with you know that that's a major thing for me you know like seeing if somebody has that relationship for themselves and what that looks like and so if they hear her say that and just a few other things that she said it's like okay good good you know I'm liking what I'm hearing so far so yeah if it was a real date would there be a second date would there be a second day um I yeah I'd go on a second day yeah yeah definitely just so we can just like dive deeper you know that first date it's kind of like you know there's both both you got walls up and like so I like to like jab and like be sarcastic to like break that guard down be a little funny you know like I can be a little little little overly confident or cocky on the first day but I do that intentionally you know because that's part of like who I am you know but after that like as the conversation went on we both got more comfortable with each other so the second date I feel like we can really just kind of like let our guards down to really be goofy and like talk more to learn one another so absolutely


Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We have five days a week, we got seven hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at tfnn.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on grows. Hope everyone's having a great day, safe day, making a great night folks. You are what you believe you are. Humans are powerful magicians. You have the power to make yourself what you are right now, but it's not the reasoning mind that controls your power, it's what you believe. Not get wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the now, when Dutch does down 36, Nasdaq off 66, S&Ps off nine and a half, gold contract trading up $11.40, 16.52 an ounce. We have silver up 58 cents, $19.71 an ounce. Lightly crude up a buck 99, $88.52 a barrel, notes and bonds. The 10-year flat, $110.18, the 30-year up 18 ticks at $121.02 and $king dollar. $king dollar down 26 trading, $111.504, the euros at 98, the yen is at $148.21 and the British pound is at $114.01 US dollar. iPhone number's 877, 9276648. It was called folks, I know it's going on in your world. The world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. What do you have? I want to share the futures here, because I want to show you what's stopping this from going down. So if we take a look at this, what I'm going to bring up now right now folks is a four-day 10-minute chart of the futures. And you're going to see this is pretty clear here. It's on both of them also, okay? So you can see we got down to, you know, this price point here of, well here, let me open this part here for a second. Okay, so when we open this part, what I was just going to say when we're coming on the air, but we're already here. See the last time with volume on the way down? This is on the S&P, that was 3,874. Well, the bottom line is because that was the last time with volume on the way down, that was telling me that, hey, we're going to get up there. Now the real question is going to be do you go buy it? Because this is what you have. The first thrust this morning did have volume. We're just trying to get to a higher price. That had volume of 63,000 contracts. Then the next one, bottom line 31, that's not enough. This one here, I suspect is going to, you know, this one here is going to go for the one that's 10 o'clock this morning. We'll see if we get any more juice. Now if we go to the NQs, we have the same situation. So we take a look at the NQs, and what you have out here with the NQs, you're going to see the same type of situation. First, I'm going to bring this here. So the NQs haven't hit where I think they're going to go yet. So my take on the NQs is that you're going to at least get to that bar there, which you can see the S&P already just did this. So, and the NQs is 11,400. So that's still 35 points away from where we are. I expect that's what's going to try to get into that bar. Now let me show you how, what it was actually going into, because it was actually going into something with much lighter volume. And here it is, open this up right there. So what you're going to see, see this whole day right here? This is, what time was that? That was the opening bar, but that opening bar had 420,000 contracts, and the bottom line is that you're coming into that with 10,000 contracts. So that was the test. Now if we go like this, watch this, this gets interesting. Put that to there. What you've done, you did a 50% retracement of that move that was established on Friday. That's what we did here. And you come back with lighter volume. So that's saying that, guess what? This game is still on, meaning the game. This is deviant because we had a huge acceleration last night from basically the rumors over in China, but the bottom line is that the market itself is thinking that China is going to open up because the bottom line, if you look at Freeport-Mac-Maran, and it's trying to stay, it's trying to get over this level of the 3389. We made the 3373 today.  Southern Copper is doing the same thing, man. It's up three, three, a lot of these equities look the same, by the way, inside of the metals market, folks. Okay, we'll see whether they, doesn't mean they will bust it, but they look like they're trying to bust it. Let's put it that way. And what has happened is that Freeport-Mac-Maran in particular, that has been pushing, let me see this on the weekly, that has been pushing that swing with volume. Yeah, you can see, look at the acceleration on SCCO last week. So, hey, we'll see where this baby shakes out and see whether it can actually blow away that level with volume. Let's go take a look at the TY, the bond market, because the bond market, and here's this divergence is all over the place, man. So, the way the equity market is set up right now, that looks to me like they're gonna come in with some kind of a dovish deal. That's how, you know, unless we get something that's really disastrous at the end of today, you know, the volume's not gonna be here, man. We take a look at the 10-year, the 10-year right now didn't hold price today. That being said, though, last Wednesday, that was the first time, it was the second time that you got a sign of strength. So, we're actually backing into that area. See, we're at 1.6 million contracts, and you're backing into 2.3. And right now, we're one tick underneath it, okay? So, the bottom line is that, yes, you know, you wanna see a close above that area. But right now, let's go take a look at the, now, if we just put the spy up and the queues up, you know, what you're gonna see is that, you know, we really basically have almost the inside day here, man. Well, that's the reality. The spy went to a high high, but this is not a back off, man.   Let me do this again. So, you don't just blow by ice when you're coming off the bottom. That's how it just works, you know. So, here's, that's ice right there, we'll write at it. You know, you can go sideways for a bit. There's no doubt there's gonna be fireworks out there. And what you had out here this morning, you know, the Fed wants information. Well, the information they got this morning off of this jolt report. And what that is is like, okay, you know, how many jobs are available? Well, the jobs went up. They didn't go down. Meaning, the jobs available. So, you know, that's a very negative thing for the Fed, it's positive for the economy. Stay right there, folks, we'll come right back.  We'll come right back. What I'm at is the Basel Chap.
