Hey Niklas welcome to Feitech We are this time starting in our clean room and really thank you very much for coming again I think it's now the fourth time since 2013 you visited our company and from there we developed a lot and So you have the we allow your first time to come into our clean room and we have a very special clean room We really are world market leader in meantime in large formats optical bonding So so this is basically the secret and the heart of our company and we will I will explain you more about it. I think I can talk a little bit about my experience in China I mean I'm now a 10 years in China So I hope for all your viewers we can have something like a half an hour 40 minutes interesting round work What you see here is and we invested the last year over one million dollars into into this Area our clean room. You now walk into a class 100 room Where we have no more dust particles and we do here a touch panel bonding for for a large Chinese and point-of-sale Company and what we do is that we fill up the gap between the touch panel and the panel by a see-through liquid glue and we set the quality of the picture is is highly Big improved and I have to say that's for sure crazy when you came the first time 2013 overall We had 70 people now up to 70 people are just in this room where where we Do three things we do the optical bonding we used hundred tons of glue this year to fill up the gap between the touch panel and panel I show you later the products and this is all happening here and So so we do here module bonding So we need first ceiling the display and then what you said with our machines. We have a complete Complete filling up the air gap here. You see now behind. This is a temperature room We can have also a look in yeah, Nick last nicks everywhere always. So let's go shortly in here So I can tell you the process. So what happens is the goods start there We we check some prepare them then the glue is dispensed here the cover glass and Panel is bonded and then we have at the end the so-called aging where where the glue dries up It's a silicon AB glue one. This is finished We we go over to the room for for packaging and and checking one more time What is this?  No, this are this are the tables and okay I can explain you in detail. So for large formats when you have we do a so-called Wet process and so and blue runs over and it's taking here off that there is no mess up on on the On the floor and that's one of small things we took care in in our process Right now we just produce I mean, okay, you see it for for high sense I think this year we produced already for them 20,000 touch panels and optical bondings and For sure the special thing is What is this machine over there? Right what you see here? This is our invention and With this machine we can optically bond up to a hundred inches and they are now making tests and preparation You invented this today. We just have a small bondings We are the only company from 2017 on which invented it process to optically bond large formats Touch panels to two panels. So what does it do by going back and forward there? And what we do is that we put a glue glue on it. I can We I can explain you shortly Let's go over there and I explain you what we do on the machine And all these tables get stuff put on it and stuff and goes in there So what what is the idea is? That here is our touch panel production and I can go over So you have a cover glass, right? Let's let's take one here. You have a cover glass and and a Sensor and what we produce here is we test here that we Put the cover glass on the touch sensor and we fill it up with a see-through glue And when you then put this to a panel In normal productions and I show you this in the products. We have an air gap and then Light goes from glass to air to glass. You have a lot of reflections and we fill up this Gap with a see-through glue what we do there and by this the quality of the picture Improves dramatically so We have here our foil cutting machine where we prepare this is an FCA process Where we prepare the foil to bond and laminate the cover glass to the touch sensor And this makes us so unique right now we focus on industrial touch devices and We are able to produce really everything in small quantities perfectly tailored for the customer and we start already that we Design the touch controller that we design the touch sensor and then for the customer We can offer to give him any cover glass solution like he wants What are you doing here inspecting the right quality of each each panel? It's basically in this room all all is about dust so so in this area We have still a glass 1,000 and we have to make secure that there are absolutely no dust particles Between the glasses because for sure the dust particle you would see later and Here she prepares now the touch sensor and the cover glass and Here they assembly it and then right exactly it goes from from the preparation and assembly it goes to these two machines Where just for your information where we produce now per year around hundred thousand units and This is so-called vacuum temperature machine so so under heat and vacuum the liquidity the foil goes liquid and Connects well with the cover glass and touch sensor. What is this? And When it's finished, let's make one process after the other There's an inspection and then it goes on the UV curing so we have two processes We have our silicon AB wet bonding process and we have a FCA UV lamination process and So so through this machine The product more or less is fixed so after that you cannot disassemble anymore on the touch panel The specialty of our optical bonding process is that you still can rework this looks so cool all this stuff This is the world-leading class for this industry Yeah, so okay, I finish So and when there are bubbles we put it in this Chamber which has an over pressure and it can press all the bubbles out of the glue so that at the end They are perfect products in this is the anti bubble. Let's say what what you asked for Nicholas for sure You know when you see the products or our factory two or six years ago our point is that we always enjoy improving and that we always Try to become a better technology leader and so so what you see here is that was really invented by German specialist engineer Raphael and and with him we developed the process To two optically bond large formats and with this we were the last two years unique and that made us very special in the world And that allowed us to make all the investments last point here is we do Also backlight productions to increase brightness that you can use it outdoor and under and high brightness and Also there it's a class a thousand area here and we we do do the whole design What you see here from the edge LEDs over the Lightguide plates over the foils to to offer like what customer wants even now 3500 nits Then you have a finished product. This one is for example used in NEC buses and my end buses we can we can show you later Okay, so I think that's enough Yeah, sorry, we missed one thing. Yeah, what is this machine here? What does that do? That's that's our dispenser. It's a mixing machine. This is from Germany and By the way that you see we have really everything under our own control so the glue is produced in in also by us with our specialists and Justice mixing machine is around four hundred thousand dollars But it makes you cure that the glue is is a good quality put on on the displays and products nice My my manager will hate me for showing you this video because basically this is one of our company secrets but I Think it's over. Okay. The point is for sure from from seeing something and from from really realizing it there a lot of processes and We we developed really a lot of time to to make this process as well So finally you can see me in a normal shape. You can take off everything right right here This is a by the way hypo he he is overseeing all our production processes in Inside this room Set in and keep the mic pointed on So let's have a short so you said class one thousand even class even class 100 we have yeah, so that means that in in a cubic meter of air you have Just a hundred dust particles right and Yeah, they are all below 0.3 micrometer links. Where are my shoes here? So we made it. Yeah, again. Welcome with Looking and for sure that's quite crazy One one shot can have those shoes. Oh your shoes friend so when you came first time 2003 what said we We had probably the amount of people we have now in in the clean room and so I'm still here Okay, I'll grab the camera. Thank you. Okay. Let's continue the tour. Thanks. So here So here's let's say our warehouse area for the touch displays Okay, can you put the mic just a little bit lower? Yeah, just right there here okay, and For example, okay, this one is now for sure not presented that because I saw it This is a super cool magic mirror We do for the US and it will be in some super fancy Store in the US later. So then you have good good watchers who check closely They will find the store later in some other Mirror probably later in in some news and what said we are really specialist today We don't have a production and this I really should not have showed on camera camera but and we are able to optically beyond even Up to 86 or 100 inch and this makes us really special that we invented the process where where this is possible and This are our last sendings here before before Christmas going out 32 inch optical bonded I think this guy can say in the last two years. We produced more than 20,000 and touch panels which I think 100% everyone touched when he ordered in the US or in Germany from a large burger and fast food chain So we have really now some some aprons in our portfolio. We are officially not allowed to to name But so these funny cool things when you enter the fast food and you click what burger you want, right? You in that business you end up configuring it at a fake touch panel you can configure how much so all all the Burger self touch panel you use they are all coming here from from this room nice Okay, so we are Spread it here in in the home and park. It's a little bit funny when we came here You you know if you were still up the hill and every two years we we doubled our size So we started with 600 square meter. We went to a thousand two hundred two thousand five hundred Hey, Jesse This is our quality leader and For sure last time you came and we had the full floor here for all our operations We had our assembly. We had our very small clean room and behind our whole office and then we started investing a lot and And the space went off and We even tried the boss of the force floor to here to pay money that he leaves us the force floor but he didn't agree so we had to take two floors up the hill where we drive shortly and We had no chance to check somewhere else We always stay here in the home impact because we were always really over busy and this is probably something I really want to say basically. I wanted to start with it I have to apologize this year to our customers because some customers had to wait like crazy for for the products and I'm really sorry for it. We we know that waiting for products is one of the first worst things you can do But we were just too busy and you see we build up two factories in Sweden We started and that's the worst thing. We started a new earpiece system so we are running now globally on a vision and Everybody told me starting a new earpiece system is really troublesome, but I thought okay. We have already one It should be okay, but the last half here. It was almost impossible to to make any This is the fake tech mobile the fake car Just just are you joined also? Where is yeah? Oh? She run yeah, my people are too So this is a special fake tech car it's I really love this car It's I have to say it's really the best car I've driven so far So we drive now electric here, but it's like crazy. Whoa. It's Oh, this is and it has 500 horse powers in the combine and you can drive 60 kilometers by by battery Let's take her Jesser come on join otherwise you are running out of breath and and and it has a One more motor so it has two electric this is a BYD. No, and I have to say it's really the best car It's better than a Tesla Okay, this I don't know, but I think it's better than an Audi Q7 because it has also three seats This screen is cool. Yeah, and you have all these features like you can move it or when you make the sport motors We were equal it goes orange So it's really a very very very funny car is for sure a bird-eye view and you can you can see everything and And it's it's the first car we had so far three cars in China always buying Chinese car Manufacturers models and you use it as like a company car when you pick up customers and stuff and I have to say this one is This one is really the the best car I've driven and it's the first time that the quality is like a German German car. So I can just say Congratulations to the Chinese car manufacturer that they they they improved dramatically in the last ten years As far as I know BYD is the world leader in electric cars They're like selling highest quality, but it's mainly in China. Yeah For sure China is now the largest market. It's in Shenzhen. You just get a license plate now And when you have an electric car and all other Come and license plates are in a lottery and but but this is what I really want to say in the last ten years China changed totally a good example is probably when we started 2010 we paid $120 on on the assembly line for our workers and today nobody Earns less than $600. So so you have to imagine let's say the poorest or the low-levels worker They're increased their salary on a worldwide basis five times and that the country is able to to provide such a development Within within such a short time. I'm I'm really strongly impressed. So ten years China Ten years China on the other side for how's it been so far the Chinese experience It's the China is you know, it's both both extremes that you have I think there is no normal Either it's total fantastic or it's a total disaster. And so I mean it's a place to do business and For living I would I have to say I would this is not our company We run shortly through because we we make a rooftop shoot but let's say for sure China is the right place to be to build up the business or it was the last ten years and Let's say for living I I would probably prefer to to live somewhere else I just had a business friend in Munich who was this weekend going skiing with us with his children and that for sure doesn't doesn't work here and That's pity. So we have now here our outdoor outdoor test center And for sure that's super important that we reproduce industrial touch devices, which also shall Run under a harshest environments and and we have so so here our products which which age for for I think this one is already half an hour here a half a year And also this one you see it already for sure the the case is slowly getting damaged This is also already more than half a year here But the important thing is the display and and everything Still work. So just with the rain whatever happens. They're fine. So this models especially here the butterfly solutions we have they are perfectly optimized and set up for working outdoor and They they have a the ability that even under IP68. There are no ghost touches and with IP 65 You still can can yeah, the touch works perfectly Perfectly use it so the touch works the video Video that's on your YouTube channel, right? Yeah Our our YouTube channel always doesn't get so many so many views like like like yours We can link to it. We'll link this video to you. Well anyhow. We tried Jesser we wanted to make a waterproofing video, but this didn't work. Yeah, okay Okay, this is the fatex solar panels or no, it's I like this very much They put them solar panels on all rooftops here. Nice. I feel like it's probably too Too hot to have a real good efficiency, but Okay, so We have then now in in this building we have two two floors and I think we make a short short check on the When we are with a quality on the on the quality team and then Let's go further through through the company. So what's that? and we we we doubled every two years our factory size and We have now even in in swinging Two factories and why because what I told you in Shenzhen We are now operating in Shenzhen with the highest salaries and the highest rent costs for for for spaces and that's in Sichuan right where where the spicy food is and So so to be frank for example, we talked about the development in China theoretically when you really want to produce cheap then you could also go now to to Eastern Europe and There you pay probably even less, but in China now it's all about high-tech and for sure you have here the complete supply chain and you have in China also now a big market you can address and So we we set up our set we have here in Shenzhen now the our technological headquarter So let's check Again gestures Every year and here we should put surely on just the shirts. I think that works You shall I help? Thank you right and So so we have in oh my god. Yeah, this is really funny. You have a Good fitting. I think yeah you had a small and So so here we have our incoming material inspection and that's really what what jesset takes care about Not sure if I'm not sure if I'm now still But really we take we take quality test very serious. So we have machines which are torture torture on the vibration system and also components which are steady vibration for example Right now you see test our view at minus 70 degrees again minus 70 because we go on an automotive Solution The requirement is that the glue also survives well under minus 50 degrees. It's not milk. It's not milk No, that's our silicon We have IK 08 testing. That's a that's a cyber truck test. That's the ball drop test, right? And believe me This one is really really heavy When you check it's a 500 gram ball And so our our products We're not gonna throw it against your car window. I hope I'm not gonna throw it against your car window. Please not. Yeah, then yeah, and here we have our Let's say long-term aging that we put the product here Which more or less run run forever to check if there are any Unnormal activities. So again, Jesser is setting up this test environment. We need I saw one of these I saw one of these in Seattle Really? Yeah. Yeah, we are our part. I was just walking around. There was like one of these Yeah, interactive intercom. We produce for him every month more than 200 pieces nice So an incoming test then we have Our our warehouse. I hope let's see if it's looking like a German German warehouse. Hopefully We are but we are moving now a lot of goods to Swimming for the production, but I go first But I think it's let's say it's quite Quite well organized, you know what it is and for sure when you have the expensive goods They are in an extra room with also and then temperature control We have for sure every day a check if the temperature is is followed up and the humidity so There we take quite well care and now it's all the way down. Huh? All the way down. I Should look everywhere. Would you want to see? No, no, no, but you have stuff all the way down there Yes, it's a lot of stuff. It's really like Niklas when when you came 2013 first time we we made the revenue we have now in our warehouse So we probably that time made around three million and was growing to five million and Now we have always around three million in warehouse and we are doing overall 25 million dollars Revenue so the last ten years we we grow in average every year by by 50% So I hope it's right when I say that you interview now one of the fastest growing touch device manufacturers in the world and But for sure I have to say I'm first thankful for for the people when when you look well a lot of people are still here from 2013 video for sure most important is my wife and but so it's really a work of all the people and Athletic and for sure we we had a lot of luck for for which I'm very thankful and humble so so here you have now our How to say our introduction area so normally you come from the elevator and That's actually the intro. That's the entrance, right and I think we can take off now the shirts And so so you have for example to the left a short overview of our factory buildings in Swinning we have been swinging over all 20,000 square meter production We have now a case manufacturing even with a laser cutting machine banding So we produce I show you later our complete cards in In the case and factory all our cases now coming from from this factory and then it's fantastic It just goes 50 meters forward to the electronics assembly where we have and then And the assembly of all products and so let's say I think here Less and less will change but probably the next time we should go to swimming because this is now really impressive And this is a nice example of a built this up Our fate joined us 2010 as warehouse manager and he told us always he give me a factory to manage And I will do it better than you so we said okay Let's go and he's doing and with just 30 years he do a fantastic job So it's even bigger than what we see in here It's five times bigger five times bigger. Yeah, but so here is now here's the clean room stuff Yeah, here's the clean room stuff here. We focus on Let's say the optical bonding the touch panel production, but the whole assembly now the And production happens now in in swimming. We have here just more quantity productions and probably this is What you should I hope your camera can can see it our picture quality is better than from competitors And that's because there is no air gap between touch panel and panel But we fill it up with the see-through blue in in the clean room and it's you have less reflections The brightness is higher and when you look from the side, it's like the picture is flowing on on the air and be fast You you you see for example, this is my This is my favorite favorite video and comparison. I don't know if you saw it already on on youtube This is our product no reflections and that's a competitor. This is our left side picture totally clear total nice And to the right it's the picture of the competitor. It's really no fake and I'm really proud. This is one of the leading touch device manufacturers. Everybody knows and we we Now better in in quality and everything is because of all that Bonding solutions we just saw Lauren is playing in her game time scandalous, but That's for sure what we set up It's um, this is a fatigue clap and I mean that's I think the future you have the Huawei mobile And it's just a few Huawei mobile and you can play um make your your mobile Large with with so-called usbc screens and this is one of it I I stop your playing. It's funny because and maybe we did a video last year, right? Exactly and everybody got the idea Everybody coming now so copied you right what I really don't understand is why the mobile companies don't advertise it It's you know, this is what Huawei offers you have at at Huawei now with the mobile You you you have even your working area you can work right and and use it like a normal normal pc And this apple for example doesn't offer. I don't know why the android phones Don't make this as a key marketing. I mean every Samsung has it Yeah, but when you check the web page, they don't write about it So so I feel like for sure this is the feature future And I'm more than how's it going with that kind of the product category for you um I have to say the people still don't buy much of it probably with your video it it changed and we we put it now also in In in prev basically all shops everywhere. Well, okay, let's see. I want to show you another one I have three products. I really love and one is a butterfly mix. We saw auto They are now the number one Interactive intercoms in the u.s. And the another one is is the we call it magic mirror and so imagine you have this one We have this in uh, that's now exactly like it should not be let's see Try one more time I don't know if the microphone Interrupts it now so um Our our employees um did did this as app That you can can connect your um your your mobile screen And what you see on the mobile you you can You you can see um on the screen and imagine how nice it is When when when you check, okay, do I have clear clean clean ears, right? And and um, how did I shave my my bird? Is it good or not? And um, this is this is our idea of how in future the 13.3 inch behind right it's 15.6 inch and we have also But um, we have some controls where you can say, okay, you you change um, um the lights and um, you you change Change put on um lights And um, this was all done by an employee and we we we are now Preparing the software and when it's ready So, you know, it goes for for being a smart home You can also change the backlight brightness. You can put it completely off that you have it as as mirror And it's very interesting. We have in um in japan now Three three hotels that starts using it to use as a hotel management And um, I think that's a great idea that you can check yourself But also that you can put on the lights and the air conditioner and and manage it So now here we we have our office building probably we go Shortly in I go first And for sure the most important person didn't change my my my wife she gets every time more beautiful when I when you film her and um for sure, I mean really that's what what make us also The successful company I I run forward and get the project and the idea and she has a poor job to to to Keep the company growing behind and and manage everything right now. She's getting the ERP running um, um Microsoft Navision she oversees um PMC and um purchase which which is um here the area and then we have um our International sales team joiner is is the one who's who's always there. She's since 2013 with it And then we have our customer service With um Susan managing it or Susan. I could have a funny story about our relationship Seriously with Susan. I learned most 2016, but that's all what I want to say and then we we enter here our um engineer area with um Nathan on my side. So so I sit here. You know him He doesn't change.  Hopefully so And this is really what what I'm really proud and um after um being the number one in optical bonding large formats We are now the number one in interactive shopping carts And you see here one card how it is already running in um 10 10 shopping supermarkets in in Germany And we had 2017 the first test market We have this year um the first roll out to to 10 supermarkets 10 supermarkets just in Individual supermarket not the whole like you don't go in every single alde or something like that That's our hope long term. But right now we are in 50 supermarkets in Germany and um next year it shall be This year 10 next year it shall be 50 and hopefully after that um the chain. I can say it. It's in edeka so edeka has 5000 um um Supermarkets when they would put it in all supermarkets in germany We would be a billion dollars. How's it going in those 10 so far? It's good. So what you do is you have your app You scan you see it has a christmas It has a christmas welcome. It's very beautiful. And then the idea is very easy.  I I buy the um Coffee and you see it comes You put it in We buy smarties you scan and you see smarties you put it in Whatever okay more more more german things which can be scanned in a supermarket. I don't have you have it And let's scan also the daimyer pro domo. And the thing is we have a scale, right? We have a camera We have the scanner display battery. So it runs um 20 hours even in winter And then what does this part do here? Um, this is um, it's uh led light It shows later when you paid when you ask for s os it changes to um red. I can show you later And um, so the idea is very easy. You put your bag on it, right?  You can you can see it also here 32 euros And then you could navigate for sure this doesn't work here or you can say you pay and that's really it you just Say pay you don't have to unpack again or whatever and and um, you can pay at the Jister or buy credit cards and you go so it's the most and now you see now It's it's waiting for paying so the led light starts Um, I'm blinking and when it's paid it's it's it could be like one of those Just walk out shopping also this has to be for every supermarket in the world and if this is every supermarket You know the the husbands will love go go to the groceries, right? They'll be like I'll do it. I'll do it The app is even crazy. So um, you can navigate, right? And you can prepare on your mobile phone what you want to buy And then you have an auto um navigation through the supermarket and now even more you can share the Shopping list with for example, yet let's talk in stereotypes, right? Your husband goes in the supermarket and he shares with the the wife at home She can put the alcohol out and then he cannot buy the alcohol anymore One thing I think you you could that they could develop potentially is you know this When you stay a customer for a long time They can customize the prices for you So actually you might even get discounts if you shop all the time in the same store Boom, they give you discount on everything. I mean imagine seriously Imagine your shop with this to the market And for sure the shopping cart knows for example, which alcohol you buy And now you come into the department where wine is sold for sure imagine the advertisement budget a wine Company would spend to to reach you here. And if you buy nine jack daniels you get the tens for free So that was even here, but this time not you can get you can get discounts. Okay, what I can show You can ask for for help sos then the led goes right and the supermarket person comes So so um, we show you at first time on the nrf in january in New york, and I think this is really hopefully the most interesting product on the nrf. Is that the show National retailers Foundation, I don't go but our CEO goes there. I hopefully the coolest shopping cart in the world It's really like this. Yeah, so you are now in that company and all done and developed with these cars Because when amazon does one of their funny stores, it costs like millions They have to put cameras everywhere in the store. You just add shopping carts and existing shopping Any supermarket and you're done for sure first a lot of Companies don't want to share their knowledge with amazon. So I think it's better to let we provide them with software with our partners And right second is amazon goes crazy with your hardware investments every Cupboard has a scale and whatever here. We just put it in the cart and it's quite easy And for sure there is a hidden check So when you scan something and you put something different in the in the cart This is one gem right and for sure there is a silent alarm and somebody would ask you Oh, can I check your bag before you leave? But the main point is you put those things in and the next time you put the things out is at your home And what i'm really happy is in the engineer department. The people stay Jinsung you have on your picture. He started 2010 11 Nick is the latest one 2013 way 2011 nascent 2010 So we have really a core team where we do the the stuffs Jinsung is doing all our pcb designs And I like really stories like this. He started as an Repair guy on the assembly line And now he's our head of of pcb designs and he really self told everything by himself So I think he's a genius very happy. We have now from um january on also and what is this? What is he working on? He don't speak chinese but um he's doing the pcb layout designer check right now one of those four We are working very hard on a new version to to cut down for sure. This will be we want to produce 100 000 So we have incredible pressure at the end of december january is very soon, right? Yes, and so but um we have um loter who's who's now in germany overseeing the r&d But um this is his team then we have with um kelvin And his team doing all the um touch panel design So what you saw produced on fifth floor he designed with with his team And um we have um with uh way And his assistant um all the backlight design so what you saw also the in the clean room where we we do the backlight Assembly that's all coming out of his head together with rafael in in germany Who's overseeing our bonding and and backlight development And nick for example is doing our um monitor and and firmware design And then we have here a team of um of our engineers and the cut designers who are doing then all the Stuff people people wants and is a secret next version product also maybe I have to say this is we have now too many project This is a project. I feel I even don't know it looks like something from from the us um the us do now a lot of um um own specialized uh requirements And then we have here our small um r&d room for sure again You have to imagine everything now in in in swinging we have the big quantity and here we do the The the development and the design r&d Shenzhen is my understanding and you may be able to do very fast time to market all kinds of stuff How fast does it get like when you have a new project? Let's say somebody comes and says I want to do a new uh Touch screen for my house system or something. How long it will take you? I mean we we are we are we are germans So we are too slow for the other chinese and I we don't work on on saturdays like like others do so We are the wrong ones, but when you ask me what what you should do in in shenzhen I told you that I give some some suggestions from price point of view. China is not interesting anymore You can assemble wherever cheaper. I think here is the electronics development electronics. Yeah, and um what I think is very interesting What you said here is the fastest r&d and uh sample build up fastest time to market Right and so when you have a cool idea just just come here and and and set it up and and bring it bring it to to to to market and What I want to show you for example shortly is um Wait, I lost I have too many screens right now Where where okay here we go. Um we have um in the in the newest version of um of um the emphatic flat We we have also Um Let's write something nice to our chinese chinese listeners So I'm I'm learning learning hardly chinese. I have to say christmas chinese. I don't tell you so okay But you see it has also finger finger um a detention so this is really a nice product also to to to use next to um a lab screen lab screen to use with a with a notebook or laptop and um It's again our fatal flat. So when when you ask me right for china I think in china there was one big change is when alibaba and opened for um business to business companies 2005 to 2010 And suddenly worldwide you could buy really cheap electronic products directly from the manufacturer and this made an incredible boom On the other side I I came because of this also to china But none of my that time delivery partner still alive But now and this is I think a big revolution is amazon opens its um warehouses and hubs for chinese manufacturers And so it's totally a we focus on let's say a high quality We focus on becoming a brand because for the no names there will be so incredible price Price push and and hit because now anybody can can produce in china and sell directly to To to all over the world and we have here our aging from From the production side that's important. And so all products are aged for minimum eight hours before We um we ship them they they they have again a um a vibration earthquake machine. Yeah And here here what you saw already and what we do is um that we do Just a small quantity and assembly now Also set more or less 2013 that was all our production And now we take this just as a small Products first time productions. We have a small s and t machine to have prototypes building and Have here then the things which We it it doesn't make sense to send to swinging for for production or where we have some some special requirements And so I think this was very short Uh, I don't know not so short and go through to our company I Think from technology you could see that we developed greatly. We we we are innovative. We have two products. We To um two products. We we are now really leading for optical bonding and shopping carts So I I hope it makes sense to come often again to always see something exciting you Can you say some some some more stories about so? 10 years china and um This is I mean The potential the sky is the limit right this market could be You you have so much growth, but it could go even so much further, right? Let's say for I mean, that's the motivation First really I'm really humbled about how everything worked. We had a lot of luck That that becomes so far. This is not because one guy But because everything worked well and we find the right ecosystem What motivates me now is definitely we we see the potential we we are now doing just 25 million all Our competitors do 10 times 20 times 50 times more revenue and I feel like we could really the last 10 years built Let's say almost a knowledge base up. They have and in some some parts we could even be more more Innovative so yes, I I think we have big potential and I hope we can keep our Grows for the next 10 years like we have the last 10 years But but I mean that's probably the crazy thing and people tell us. Oh my god You you grow from from zero to 25 million in 10 years But on the other side when I see what's going on in china I feel like we are too too slow We could be far faster in in china in 10 years the whole society changed You know when we came here people, I don't know they smoked by why they were eating now It's total clean when you when you 10 years ago walked over the streets. It was dangerous You would be almost killed here now everybody steps at the crosswalk. So it's it's really like We are here in lifetime seeing how a whole society completely changed and that's for sure breathtaking And you post updates on your linkedin also you have followers there yes For sure, I think linkedin is a very good tool to to reach And business partners and we have regular updates I have to say I put most of it on linkedin and then the company goes officially two three months later So it makes sense to to follow me and contact me and For sure that are great great possibilities for for marketing right now And the kind of videos you're going to be doing the next few months on your youtube For example product videos for sure your video. Hopefully is the most important. Yeah, and um, but we we we promised Our advisory board that we should put regular product Product shooting, so I hope in the afternoon we can do probably some and yes We will try to have her regularly update on our product right now. We we have a complete update On our rubber frame series where we offer it also with an i5 inter series. So it's Two three times more and powerful than than our actual models And we also work on an embedded update We have now a complete department in in germany even doing the software again for industrial customers We are able to compile the kernel and do driver developments For sure because of this we are more expensive than let's say the typical Chinese offeror who just sells something standard But for that we have a better the quality and a better support. What's your embedded solution? We have right now still that's it. We are slower than than a lot of The companies you visit we still use an all-winner v40 But and we but again we have the full Full linux source code and I think this you cannot find in in china from anybody else We developed we invested a lot on this and we we go now with an rk3399 solution in the first quarter Very powerful. It's very powerful. But I'd say this is also no magic there We just say okay for our industrial customers We provide a really well designed completely stable solution And if you go intel or embedded there's a price difference that might attract some markets for sure. It's still a big big big game and I mean, that's what I showed also with the mobile right theoretically in the next year You don't need any more any any pc the the mobile is powerful enough for the embedded design And this will change a lot of things in the industrial world. And how's it going with the new york? Uh subsidiary or team or partnership there is this busy there is this here exploding We should they have a new new office, right? We had a shooting 2015-16. Yeah, and um, um, they are this year our strongest growl And um, so so we have finally a good grip on the on the u.s. Market. Your office is on time square Somewhere over there All right, cool. All right. Thanks for this tour. If we did 30 minutes more be a feature film. Nicholas. Thank you very much Always a pleasure to have you


Welcome to the Dr. Gendry podcast. On today's show I'm going to be talking to America's most popular psychiatrist.  Most of you know him or at least have heard of him, Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen has spent decades researching the brain and he's pioneered the use of a special kind of brain imaging called a spec scan. And it's both incredibly important and quite frankly incredibly controversial. And he's been using spec scans to really help people change their brains and their lives. His most recent book is feel better fast and make it last. But he's got so many books that I'm trying to catch up with him. So welcome to the Dr. Gendry podcast. It's great to see you in person. I've known you for years but welcome. Thanks for coming. Well thank you so much. It's a joy to be with you and it's always funny when people introduce me and say it's controversial to look at the brain. You have to ask yourself, well isn't it controversial not to look at the brain in people who have complex psychiatric or neurological problems. So it continues to blow me away that they think I'm controversial when psychiatrists are virtually the only medical doctors who never look at the organ they treat. So I just remain confused but feel incredibly blessed to have done this work. So you know that's a great place to start. As a psychiatrist what drove you to say there's got to be a way of looking at the brain rather than talking to people or seeing what a drug is going to do. What was the impetus? So before I went to medical school I was an infantry medic and that's where my love of medicine was born but then I was trained as an x-ray technician and developed a passion for medical imaging and our professors used to say how do you know unless you look and then when I fell in love with psychiatry I went well of course we should look. The brain is our organ. I mean you know Freud knew that. Freud was actually a neurologist. The brain is our organ and how do I know if your depression is due to head trauma or toxic exposure or inflammation or your brain works too hard or not hard enough and so early on even in medical school I was agitating we should look at these patients to assume you know what's going on based on symptom clusters. Well as a cardiothoracic surgeon you wouldn't operate on people unless you knew the map so why am I going to throw darts in the dark medications at you if I don't have a map and so in 1987 I started doing a study called quantitative EEG and I really liked that but in 1991 I went to a lecture on brain spectimaging spect is a nuclear medicine study cardiologists use it all the time to look at the heart and when we started looking at the brain it just revolutionized everything in my life so unlike an MRI or a CT scan those are anatomy scans they show what the brain actually physically looks like spect looks at function and the most exciting lesson we learned is I can see what's going on and if I can see it I can change it and that has really become the mission of my life you are not stuck with the brain you have you can make it better and I discovered that many of the medications I was taught to prescribe actually made the brain look worse where things like diet and exercise and simple supplements made it better and I remember in medical school first do no harm use the least toxic most effective treatments and it's just made me a warrior for the health of your brain so there's a there's an epidemic of dementia going on that's rather obvious most of us you know know a family member or a friend certainly I take care of a number of patients can you can you spot with a spec scan things that are going to number one predispose to developing dementia and number two can you see something coming and then change that course well so I have a book called memory rescue and I'm so excited about it and the idea behind it is if you want to keep your brain healthy or rescue it if it's headed to the dark place we can tell on scans years often decades before you have any symptoms if your brain is headed to the dark place and how you reverse that is you prevent or treat the 11 major risk factors that steal your mind and we know what they are and just speaking of the science there's over a thousand references in memory rescue and SPECT can tell and this has been published there's over 1200 scientific studies on SPECT and dementia of one form or another and you might know in the scientific literature they're talking a lot about amyloid imaging and amyloid imaging will tell you Alzheimer's or not where SPECT will actually give you a differential diagnosis of nine different things so SPECT can say well is it head trauma dementia or Lewy body dementia the dementia that goes with Parkinson's disease or is it normal pressure hydrocephalus where your ventricles are too big because your brains under pressure is it a toxic like alcoholic dementia or infectious disease which we're talking about now more than ever before and so you know it's one of the reasons why I love SPECT people go oh there's no science behind what Dr. Raymond does and you know I just like go do you read I mean today on PubMed.com if you type in brain SPECT you'll get 14,000 scientific abstracts it's just people don't know because psychiatrists aren't used to looking at the brain so they've not been following the science like I have because quite frankly I've been obsessed with it for nearly 30 years a psychiatrist who is obsessive hmm how do you feel about that I feel awesome all right all right so help me how does a how does a psychiatrist interact with a neurologist like you said Freud was actually a neurologist to start with are are you talking the same language to each other I mean for instance we were talking off-camera about Dale Bredesen and I had on the podcast a couple weeks ago grain brain deck promo I think there's a lot of commonality be between psychiatry and neurology do your your colleagues in neurology feel the same way or is that where the controversy is with using SPECT to look at this well I think Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Bredesen are friends and forward-thinking grain brain actually talks a lot about psychiatric issues and you know I think the sad thing was psychiatry and neurology got divorced a long time ago and that was a mistake because most psychiatric problems are in fact brain problems in fact I'm working on a new project called the end of mental illness because quite frankly I hate the term mental illness it's stigmatizing it stains people and it's basically the wrong paradigm when I told my dad in 1979 I wanted to be a psychiatrist he asked me why I didn't want to be a real doctor wanted to be a nut doctor and hang out with nuts all day long and there's that stigma among psychiatrists my wife who we talked about neurosurgical ICU nurse she trained at Loma Linda where you were at and she said she almost canceled her first date with me when she found out I was a psychiatrist because she thought they were all crazy so there's this noise about it so no one wants to see a psychiatrist no one wants to be labeled as defective or crazy or abnormal but everybody wants a better brain so what if mental health was really brain health and if we reimagined it we wouldn't be engaging in brain healthy habits so get this brand new study out of Australia two remote islands one has fast food on it one does not have fast food on it the island with fast food had lower omega-3 levels in their blood so their omega-3 index was significantly lower and the level of depression was four times so food matters but we weren't taught as psychiatrists anything about food it was only when I started looking at well how do I make brains better that I came to the idea well you got to get your food right because if your food's not right the physical organ your brain is not going to be right so it literally began to transform all of my thinking yeah I think I think that's a great point you know when I when I had Dr. Perlman on his point which is well taken is there is no cure for Alzheimer's period there is no treatment for Alzheimer's but that it is a completely almost completely preventable disease as I agree with you a huge amount of mental health is probably preventable with you know diet and lifestyle so take me through how do you how do you take someone who wants to have the best brain possible give me some action steps so people listening to us or watching us say okay I'm gonna take this away and I'm going to feel my my brain's gonna feel better fast what can I do so and feel better fast I have this mnemonic I like brain Excel and it is basically the program we use here at Amon Clinic so the first thing you do is you get your brain right because when your brain works right you work right and when it doesn't you don't and they're actually nearly a hundred tiny habits so what's the smallest thing you can do today that will make the biggest difference and the tiny habit for brain health three seconds is before you go and do something you just ask yourself this question is this good for my brain or bad for it and then you just have to know the list right alcohol it's just it's not a health food right it drops brain function and people who drink every day have a smaller brain as a study out of Johns Hopkins and when it comes to the brain it's the only organ where size matters exercise is good vegetables especially colorful vegetables are good omega-3 fatty acids are good oranges are great orange juice it's bad because it's unwrapped fructose and it's way too much sugar which turns out to be pro-inflammatory for you so if you know the list that becomes really important so we talk about how to get your brain right how to get your mind right so the R in brain XL is your rational mind and you can train that to help you for most people it hurts them and so the tiny habit whenever you feel mad or sad or nervous or out of control write down what you're thinking ask yourself if it's true so I teach people how to kill the ants the automatic negative thoughts that steal your happiness and another tiny habit I love is start every day with today is going to be a great day because if you do that you begin to train your mind to look for what's right rather than what's wrong and then you end the day with what went well today and research has shown in three weeks that will just increase your level of happiness those two very tiny habits will increase your level of happiness yes you can take Prozac but it's got all sorts of side effects and once you start it you can't stop it you know once you start today is going to be a great day you're not going to want to stop it the A in brain XL is attachments you know it's just the thing our relationships when they're good they make us super happy and when they're bad sometimes they make you want to kill yourself and so I teach people after 40 years of being a psychiatrist well what are the most important things and I teach them to go okay what's your goal in your relationship so mine with my wife is very clear I want to have a kind caring loving supportive passionate relationship with tenna but I don't always feel that way so I always want it but I don't always feel that way so if I'm an engage my frontal lobes I ask myself does my behavior get me what I want so if I have this rude thought that just popped into my head well does that help me or does it hurt me so attachments are really important I actually there's a scientific process of forgiveness that I include in the book that's just so special I is inspiration we're basically wearing out our pleasure centers in this company with our in our country with our gadgets and social media and I try to get people in touch with what's passionate and purposeful for them because it actually will push on your pleasure centers in a positive way and is nutrition X is the X factor what are the big lessons we've learned from imaging we have a database now of 150,000 scans on people from 120 countries so yes my colleagues think it's controversial but literally people from all over the world seek out our help especially if what they've done has failed so that's typically we see treatment resistant people and we publish our outcomes we have better outcomes than anybody in psychiatry because we look at what we do before we do it and then the last one is my favorite part of the book it's love you do the right thing not because you should I mean nobody does that right God said you shouldn't go to the tree the next scene Adam and Eve are at the tree right now it's like you you do the right thing because you get to stay in the garden you do the right thing because you love yourself your wife your husband your kids your mission you never do it because you should doing the right thing is never hard being sick you know this being sick is hard making good decisions to optimize your health is ultimately about love and it's not just about you it's literally about generations of you now we know it's not really genetics it's epigenetics that your habits turn on or off certain genes they make illness more or less likely yes in you but also in your babies and your grandbabies I have a new granddaughter who's seven months old her name is Haven she's just so beautiful and when Haven was born think about this Haven is a little girl she was born with all of the eggs she'll ever have in her ovaries little girls are born with all of the eggs she'll ever have so her habits her diet her level of stress her infections are turning on or off certain genes making illness more or less likely yes in Haven but also in Haven's babies and Haven's grandbabies it really should give us all pause to say look you know it's not about me it's about generations of me yeah it's true you you know the the Dutch famine study really was one of the best studies to prove the impact of epigenetics and just for people who don't know that study the Dutch during World War two were blockaded by the Germans and they literally were starving to death and women who gave birth following that famine the children were actually predisposed to obesity and diabetes because they reset their genes to seek out food because that didn't they basically their genes didn't want this to happen to them but what's so interesting is those children's children and now the third generation is also being impacted by what happened in the 1940s imprinting epigenetically on those children in the womb it's just it's scary but it's also you're right I think empowering because if if we understand really from the get-go what's going to happen even as babies I have two young grandchildren and thankfully my my daughter or husband follow my program and they actually raise their kids with the plant paradox method and because they get it and they go oh my gosh you know you know what have we done what what did my father do to me when I was a big fat guy so but you're right it's it's it's scary how much we now understand it's not our genes it really isn't genes have very little to do about all this it's the imprint on those genes from epigenemic from food from lifestyle that's going to make all the difference speaking of making the difference what do you give me your thoughts about sleep how important is it how impactful is it on our mental health and also on preventing dimension memory loss so in feel better fast and memory rescue I talk about this one idea if you want to keep your brain healthy or rescue it if it's headed to the dark place you have to prevent or treat the 11 major risk factors and I have a mnemonic I love called bright minds and so B is for blood flow and R is retirement and aging and I is inflammation and the S is sleep because what I've seen is people who get less than seven hours of sleep at night have lower overall blood flow to their brain which means more bad decisions people who have sleep apnea they snore loudly they stop breathing at night their brain actually looks like they have early Alzheimer's disease it begins to kill the tissue in their parietal lobes top back part of the brain which is one of the first areas that dies in Alzheimer's disease and then new research has shown that when you sleep your brain cleans or washes itself it's basically cleaning up the amyloid plaques that are building up in the brain and so making it a priority is critical and in 1900 on average Americans got nine hours of sleep at night now in 2018 they got six and a half hours of sleep at night you can't go through that kind of radical change in such a short period of evolutionary history and it not have a negative impact on our well-being children who average one less hour of sleep at night have a higher incidence of suicide so we need to be more thoughtful and make sleep a priority in our lives okay give me one action step to get more sleep everyone who's listening to us going oh that's great for you to say but you know I'm working two jobs and I got three kids and I'm stressed out at night and I'm steering at my TV screen and the last thing I want to do is go to sleep so turn blue light blockers on every gadget that you your eyes look at after dark so you know phones have them computers have them you can download simple apps for them that way you're not going to be bombarded with the blue light that turns off melatonin also don't eat two hours before you go to bed because people who eat right before they go to bed have a higher incidence of heart attack and strokes because their blood pressure doesn't dip right before they go to sleep so they're called non-dippers and they have a higher incidence of heart attack and stroke and you know why I love talking to a cardiothoracic surgeon many years ago I realized suspect is a blood flow study it looks at blood flow and activity and the number one brain imaging predictor of Alzheimer's disease is low blood flow to your brain so whatever is good for your heart is good for your brain and whatever is bad for your heart is bad for your brain so taking care of your blood vessels is actually one of the most important things you can do for your brain no that's very true we we have techniques to measure blood vessel flexibility in our clinic and it's it's fascinating there's a saying in longevity that you are only as young as your blood vessels are flexible and that has to do with the brain as well but we've we found and published that certain substances that high polyphenol sub substances like like grape seed extract like coffee like extra dark chocolate and olive oil has polyphenols that absolutely make your blood vessels more flexible and when we add this to people's diets their blood vessels get flexible and then we took them out of people's diets and we could actually prove that their blood vessels got stiff again so yeah you you've got to have blood for to your heart and you've got to have the same thing to your brain here you're absolutely right all right I I've got to get you I've got to get you on the road to your next meeting so on that same subject what are people eating that's unhealthy for their brain and give me one action step to stop that habit and start a better habit for their brain so I love this idea I mean you know you and I agree on the foods right anything that's pro-inflammatory so Tana and I wrote a book called the Brain Warriors Way and in it we talk about the weapons of mass destruction which are highly processed pesticide sprayed high glycemic low fiber food like substances stored in plastic containers with 70% of us overweight or obese 50% of us are diabetic or pre-diabetic this is the biggest brain drain in the history of the United States I published two studies that show as your weight goes up the actual physical size and function of your brain goes down which would scare the fat off anyone so the one little tiny habit is when you go to eat something ask yourself do I love something that loves me back so I don't know how many of your listeners have been in bad relationships I have been in bad relationships in the past where I love people that didn't love me back or weren't good for me and I'm not doing that anymore you know I have a wonderful woman that I adore and I'm damn sure not doing it with food when I have total control over so when you're looking at that brownie or the donut or the cupcake it's like that is pro inflammatory it's addictive it increases erratic brain cell firing it doesn't love you back so you might love it but it doesn't love you back the only things I eat are things that serve my health rather than steal from my health you got to get your mind right about this it's not oh I don't miss the Rocky Road ice cream I actually see it as a weapon of mass destruction so you know you're getting well when you find and we're all creatures of habit you know what are the 20 foods you typically eat I mean people it's like 15 or 20 foods that's it you just have to lie it's not hard just find 15 that you love that love you back and Tana has a great cookbook called the Brain Warriors Way cookbook and the last night she made me asparagus soup with chicken that was just phenomenal there is no suffering in getting well yeah you know I used to know Jack Lane before he passed on and Jack Lane one of his favorite expressions which I think is going too far but if it tastes good spit it out yeah now that's not right because you can train your taste buds I mean I love everything that I eat I mean you know my snack is a cup of frozen blueberries and I love that so talk about polyphenols they're just loaded with it and and so you just have to find things you love that love you back okay so why we've hit all the things I wanted to hit one last thing as you know I'm fascinated with the microbiome both in our gut and the oral microbiome tell us the research is evolving very very rapidly about the gut-brain connection and even the microbiome connection thoughts on that what what have you learned that's changed your practice in the last few years with the human microbiome project and the brain you know we talked about whatever's good for your heart is good for your brain well whatever is good for your microbiome is good for your brain as well there's actually a direct connection between the brain and the gut through the vagal nerve and when you keep the gut bugs healthy you're happier you're actually less anxious you feel less stress and it helps to modulate inflammation and the eye in bright minds is inflammation and in that part of the book I talk all about the microbiome and how critical it is so you want to avoid things that hurt it I mean this is like this isn't hard right so for the brain do things that help it avoid things that hurt it for the microbiome it's the same do things that help it avoid things that hurt it so don't take antibiotics unless you have to you need to like lessen the alcohol why did my wife is a nurse put alcohol on your skin before she gave you a shot because it's killing the bugs and I'm just not a fan of murdering those gut bugs that detoxify your system help you digest your food make nerve transmitters make vitamins and so on and then lots of fiber because fiber actually becomes the prebiotic or the food for the gut bugs or the pro biotics yeah absolutely right perfect all right I do one last thing on my segment I take an audience question but I'll do that after I say goodbye to you so I really appreciate you coming on it's it's great to get to know you better we'll see you again I hope thank you Stephen what a joy to spend time with you all right so everybody get this book and find out how to save your brain before it's too late and keep you happy that's nothing else make yourself happy okay so we've got an audience question Karina asks having such a hard time getting started with the diet any suggestions on helping with cravings well first of all cravings are completely normal as you've seen in the plant paradox and as you'll see in the upcoming longevity paradox your bad gut bugs actually control your desire for these bad foods they actually send text messages to your brain just like we were hearing with with Dr. Amon that you should feed them the things they like and quite frankly they love junk food so it takes a few days for you to starve these guys and if they don't have what they want to eat they actually die off and leave because they no longer have that what's fascinating is if you give your gut bugs the things they like and quite frankly that's lots of green stuff lots of leaves lots of resistant starches like yams or hickamud or tarot root just to name a few the good bugs this is what they grow on and they multiply and literally push out the bad bugs the good bugs in turn send text messages to your brain to go get some more of this stuff and I and I write about a lot of my real died in the wool meat and potato guys or people who would say I would never eat a salad in my life about two weeks later when they come back to my clinic and see me for a follow-up they said this is the weirdest thing you know I hate vegetables I hate salads but now I crave them if I go a day and I can't get a salad I'm ready to kill somebody and that's so unlike me and it's literally because your brain has been hijacked by bad bugs and they want you to keep giving them the stuff they want but you can drive them out so willpower is actually an important thing and what is really useful is to have your significant other your spouse your brother your sister your your dog be the policeman and say I empower you to stop me because I'm out of control and I want you to you know clean out the refrigerator for me those are easy those are easy steps to do and just say I'm not going to get mad at you just stop me I need help and it's okay to ask for help the other thing I think is really easy to do is many people we talked with dr. Heyman about 80% of Americans are either diabetic or pre-diabetic and that means 80% of us are what's called insulin resistant and we'd spend an hour on insulin resistance but I won't what it means is that when you start taking away all these sugars that you're used to you actually go through sugar withdrawal your cells can't use fat properly you can't get into ketosis this is what Adkins didn't know and you go through what's sometimes called the low-carb flu or the Adkins flu where you get a headache you feel like you have absolutely no energy you're grouchy the word hangry I think is a great term I think one of the easy ways to get through this period of time is to get yourself some MCT oil medium chain triglycerides sometimes called liquid coconut oil it can be easily made into ketones in your liver and it's tasteless it's flavorless take about a tablespoon three die three times a day for the first few days and you'll get through those cravings the other option is get yourself a handful of nuts and whenever a craving hits you take some nuts here's a little trick put some salt on the nuts when we're actually actively losing weight we dye your yeast we pee a lot and we pull salt out of our bodies and there's some very good research that shows that we actually should increase our salt intake when we're first starting these programs and it will really help with cravings so don't be afraid of salt for salt is not the enemy that everybody thinks it is so having said that it's normal to go through these cravings you're getting bad messages from the bad bugs and you got to starve them and empower yourself to starve those guys they'll leave and the good guys will take over and they'll start controlling you in good ways all right so that's the Dr. Gundry podcast for today thanks a lot for listening the 30-day challenge is still ongoing I'm posting just about every night on Instagram about what I'm doing how are you doing why because I'm Dr. Gundry and I'm always looking out for you


Good afternoon folks, Larry Pesavino for the Mid-Morning Update, and we have stocks have sold off quite a bit from the early morning high. We were up around 34,000 in the Dow Jones e-mini. We're now at 36,000, excuse me, 33,700, so we've given quite a bit there over 600 points. We've given back 50 points in the S&P, NASDAQ still holding up pretty good. The big surprise has been the crude oil. We made a beautiful 78% retracement this morning right after the opening, mid-morning here in New York, and by golly, she's rallied about $3 a barrel already, and looks like it's going higher. That's been a big move here. Also Treasury bonds, I posted a chart of that, and as you can see here, Treasury bonds went right up to the 61% retracement of the October high, trading at $125. We're now trading at $124. It's down one full handle from that level, and the euro has given up well over 100 points here, and the British pound has given up more than 200 points here since the market had that early morning bust about an hour and a half ago, well, two hours ago. So they're having a lot of volatility over here. We're going to cover some of these things starting with the Treasury bonds today when we do our regular show here. We're going to have no more guests this week. The reason why I'm going to be off Thursday and Friday, I'm finally getting this allergy situation contained evidently, they have to do a tiny bit of surgery and not much, but a little. Anyway, they don't want to do anything for a couple of days, so I'll be resting for that time. But we're going to have some great markets here for the rest of the year, and all of next year, we're going to have great volatility. There's so many unknowns in the world, folks, and that yields to volatility. Whether it's coming from China, the U.S., Ukraine, doesn't make any difference. Saudi Arabia, there's going to be great volatility, so hopefully we'll be able to cash in on some of that. You know, we've been bearish bonds and stocks from January through October, and so far that's acted pretty good, and we're ready for a phase two of that starting any time now. So we'll be watching those things very closely. So that's what we're watching here today. Try to stay tuned for my show, Fibonacci 24-7, Trade What You See, and we'll try to line up some of the things that we're watching. We can now send videos instantaneously, so we're going to be able to cash in on some of these inter-day moves that happen, and hopefully that'll be very, very helpful to everyone. So we'll be right back after a few words of our sponsor.
