Thanks Hank, appreciate it. Aloha. It's a nice to be able to say that. I left Hawaii yesterday and it was about what temperature? 82? 82? 83? And sunny. And so it's great to be here and it's great to be back at S&A. It's a, I've had a long time affiliation with this great organization. I had to kind of work in the trenches on this when I was the Deputy Director of Surface Warfare with Mark Edwards and I think Harry Ulrich and I were all of us were at that time. I think it was in 76 in those days and now it's in 96. So I don't know what it'll be next century. I don't know if we can add any more numbers of that without making the doors bigger in the Pentagon. But it's this particular forum has for many many years proven to be a great opportunity for first of all for us all to get together and remember the good old days and to think about the future. It's an opportunity for us to look in our wake or the glimpse in our wake. Of course, you know, we don't ever want to steer by our wake, but we want to also spend time in during these precious days looking into the future and what that future holds. So I think what I was asked to come here to talk to you today was not about fleet readiness not about the difficulty of sequestration and how their money in the readiness, even though you can ask me those questions because I'm the ultimate consumer of the readiness of the fleet today as a as a cocom. But to kind of give you my general impressions of what's happening in the Pacific in what I now call the Indo Asia Pacific. Of course, the academics beat me up about that. They say, Well, what does that really mean? I said, I don't know. I'm a surface warfare officer. It doesn't matter. I'm not an academic. What it means for me, though, is that, as you know, the Pacific command has always been held by a Navy four star. It has the oldest cocom that we have and geographically, it's the largest cocom that covers about 52% of the world. My particular field of play each day is from Hollywood to Bollywood. There's a way I describe it. And kind of from the as far north as you want to go and far south as you need to go. So in that particular, I mean, frame for you a little bit about how you need to think about the Indo Asia Pacific and then start to reflect on the implications of that for the future of surface warfare. First, it is the most populated part of the world. How many people in the world today? About 7 billion people. That's projected to grow 9 or 10 billion in this century. And in that period of time, about seven out of every 10 people are projected to live in what I call Hollywood to Bollywood, Indo Asia Pacific, seven out of 10 people. In this area are the largest countries in the world, most populated countries, China, India. There are the largest economies in the world. Three of the four largest economies are in this part of the world. It is the economic engine that drives the world today. It is the economic engine. Over half of everything that moves on the surface of the earth generates out of the Indo Asia Pacific. And that number is growing. So, you know, we always talk about, well, 90% of everything in the world flows on the surface by something, right? Well, that's true. That has been true for a long time. But what is changing is that over the last couple of decades, the number, the amount of things in that 90% has quadrupled. So, every big screen TV, everything that you can go to Walmart, walk down any aisle that pumps into the global economy, flows in this part of the world. In the South China Sea alone, over half of all the energy supplies that float every day moves through the South China Sea. So, I know we, the surface warriors, we've all spent time in the Straits of Hormuz and pining over that problem. But the problem is equally or more acute in this part of the world as we go forward. It is the world's largest democracies are here. The world's largest Islamic democracy. The world's smallest republic are here. Five of our seven treaty allies are here. When I took this job, I got asked, who are our treaty allies? I won't give you a quiz. How many treaties do we have? You know the answer to that? There's about seven treaties. Five of the those treaties allies are predominantly in the Paycom AOR and many of them are historic. Our oldest ally, Thailand, 181 years this year is an ally. And many of them have been brought, bought through many years of working together and some of them were spawned by things like World War II that left us with a left us with a world that need to be reshaped through those alliances. And those alliances continue to be strong and important in the Asia Pacific we see it today. It also is the most militarized area in the world. The most militarized area in the world. I know that's hard sometimes watching the international news every night to grasp this because we're always have been focused for the last couple of decades on a Middle East centric look for a lot of good reasons. But seven of the 10 largest armies in the world are in my AOR. All of the largest most capable navies in the world are in my area of responsibility. Five of the world's declared nuclear powers are in the 36 countries that I look at. So it's a also a region that doesn't have the historic mechanisms in place to be able to help you control what happens in the security environment. So there is not a NATO. I mean, think about NATO. We spent a lot of time and I just came from NATO to this job. I love NATO. Had pretty good experience with NATO. But if you take the United States out of NATO all of Europe is 500 million people. I mean 500 million people not even a drop in a bucket in Southeast Asia. There's 170 million people or so in Bangladesh. 200 million in Indonesia. So starting to get the scale of complexity of what this part of the world means to us as a nation and the implications for what it means to our military and our Navy. So let me just talk about some of the challenges here. So think about this Hollywood Bollywood. Think about all these people. Think about the center of energy or the center of gravity for our global economy. Think about largest, world's largest Islamic democracy. Think about a general sense of terrorism, my sense in terrorism as part of the world is that it is a problem. I mean more IEDs go off of my AOR every day or every month than anywhere else in the world. But they're just in a large area so they get consumed by the depth of it. But my take on the terrorism is we have it. But it's different than the Middle East. Someone has enlightened me that radicalism, particularly that spawned by radical Islam, came to the Middle East via sword and it came to the Asia Pacific via merchants. And so it does play out differently in this part of the world. So I think from a terrorist perspective that we're probably in the front end of the problem rather than the tail end of the problem, which we are in other parts of the world, which means we have an opportunity, I think, to shape that environment if we stay engaged and we do it right. But what are some of the challenges? I have a Center for Excellence that works for me called HADR, Central Excellence. So I showed up as paycom. I said, well, why do I own this thing?  You can say, well, why do I have this command under me? Well, it was quick to point out to me that 80% of all natural disasters in the world happened in my AOR. 80%. And the impact on humanity because of the the numbers of people and where they live, which many of them live in the Latorals and a growing number live in Latorals, the impact of these on humanity is significant. So there's veterans here of the Tomodachi. There's veterans of Ache. There are veterans of just probably recently of the Philippine effort we did in Operation Damian in the central part of the Philippines. So the natural disaster piece is not going to go away. The implications of climate change.  I'm not going to step into that argument with you. What I can tell you that the implications for weather and implications for what's happening in the environment today, because of the the mass of humanity and where they live is becoming more and more important to the security environment, particularly the security environment in my particular AOR. And that has to be thought through. Transnational threats, terrorism, drugs, most of the precursors for methamphetamines, which is a drug of choice today, come out of my AOR. And then you can't interdict drugs in the Pacific Ocean. You can't do it. It's just too big. So you have to figure out what are the networks and how the networks being fed? Where's the money going? Where's the money being funneled? And where are the implications for that money on our own security interest and the security of the American people? So we have that. So we have human trafficking starting to get a lot more play today in the political environment. I think some of you heard me show a slide before another presentation I made a few months ago, a $30 billion a year industry in human trafficking globally, 30 billion. It's more than Google and Nike and Starbucks coffee all put together. And it's not just prostitutes, it's child labor, it's child prostitution, the whole nine yards. And the source of much of that comes out of the Paycom AOR. So we're increasingly aware of the impact this has on the security environment. Of course, there's competition for food and water and that's going to grow. How fast will it grow? I don't know. But we're starting to see signs over the last couple decades that this will be an impact on the security environment. There will be a historic territorial disputes. Now, you can almost read any newspaper any day and get a sense of what's happening in both the East China Sea, South China Sea, as we look at the historical nature of how countries decide what belongs to them and what doesn't belong to them as they go into the future. And we can talk more about that in during question and answer if you'd like. And of course, there's increasingly dangerous North Korea. People ask me what do you worry about the most day to day? And I worry about the unpredictability of a of a North Korea Kim Jong-un. And the capability he has to basically not only threaten our our homeland, but put a serious cataclysmic event in place on the Korean Peninsula, which would quite literally disrupt the entire world. The flash to bang for what can happen in Korea is very, very, very short. And so as you think about the implications for four naval forces and what you provide and what what you don't provide, you have to think about Korea. I think to some degree, we have put Korea on the back burner for the last couple of decades, because we were dealing with a more urgent issues. And I think that the fact that we put on the back burner has not put us in a good position where we are today. So we're going to have to think through what the future holds here and how we're going to manage the future with the North Korea that has a potential to threaten our homeland with weapons of mass destruction. And of course, there is a rising India. Now, many of you have operate like I have with the Indians for a long time and we're making good progress with the Indian, particularly the Indian Navy to US Navy relationship. We want to see that continue. So part of the rebalance to the Asia Pacific, the one of the things I was directed to do by the president was to improve that relationship with India. So we built a long term deeper strategic relationship with them that allows them to have a significant role of the security environment, particularly the maritime security environment in the Indian Ocean, which has, again, is one of those areas where we haven't paid a lot of attention to in the last last number of decades. And then there's the rise of China. So how will China show up? China is going to rise. We've all known this for a long time. In fact, we've all been over the last 20 or 30 years in our planning, we've been thinking about how will China show up? How will they show up as a as a world leader? How will they show up as a global economic power? And how will they contribute to the security environment? And that's yet to play out. But the goal, the paycom goal, my goal is for China to eventually be a net provider of security and not a net user of security. We'll see. We'll see. So how China and India rise has to be figured into it. And then finally, I would say that we're seeing today throughout the periphery of paycom, the struggling, the struggle of fragile democracies as the as those democratic processes and systems been put in place in some of the countries in my AOR, they are yet today, dealing with how to how to properly use democracy and to to align their governments and their security apparatus is in a way that allows them to live through democratic reforms that their countries are going through today. So we're watching that. And I guess then, most importantly, about the challenges we have in the in the Pacific, AOR is, what's the US role going to be this century? What How are we going to be involved here? I think the President, in fact, I know, because we made a recommendation to him when he signed out his, his strategy in 2012, which articulated the pivot, so to speak, right? Pivot to the Asia Pacific. And the underlying thing behind that whole the whole pivot is that after two decades of really difficult work in the Middle East, we have to look globally at where our long term national interest. So we're our children and our grandchildren's where our where their interest going to be most important. And the continuing vector, the consistent vector is in the long term is to make sure we get it right in the Asia Pacific. So this is what has led to the pivot and the initiatives about the pivot, and those initiatives inside the US Navy that have led to that. So I'm my lose or y'all trying to tell me something here by turn those lights off. Okay. So, so let's look a little bit in our wake in the in the PAKOM AOR. So the surface Navy has had FDNF for a long time here there, right? Marines, Navy Marine Corps team. I asked my staff the other day to tell me how much the presence in FDF had changed over time.  And the answer was I hadn't changed much. It's within a couple of percentage points. It's about the same over time. And that's fine. And we've done great work. We put our best ships forward, our best submarines, our best amphibes. I think that we have pushed readiness in the direction of FDNF in a way that has allowed them to realize a significant amount of success over those years. But it's not the same neighborhood as it was 20, 30 years ago. It's a different neighborhood and it's changing. And during that time, though, the surface Navy has been the backbone of maritime security in this AOR. It has been the backbone. Now, all the joint services come together but on a day to day basis. If you think about my AOR, just think about the Pacific Ocean alone. What's the largest object on the face of the earth? specific ocean. For if you hadn't looked at it, you can take all the continents, all the land masses in the world and jam them in together, just pack them together. And you can put them right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and still have room for two more continents, the North America and an Africa. That's how big just the Pacific Ocean is. Then you add Indian Ocean to it and you got he just starts to really start to be amazing. So the surface Navy has been, I think, a tremendous supporter leading the way in a number of areas. One is ballistic missile defense. In my previous jobs, I advocated pretty hard for the Navy to kind of get into the BMD in the right way. And I'm not a BMD expert. But I think that I had good counsel for many of you in the room that we needed to up our game and how we did it and we we and how we played in it. And we've done that. We've done that. And in fact, in every scenario, you see that the the centerpiece of the most reliable piece of our BMD architecture lies on board the ships that are manned and equipped by the United States Navy and by run by the young men and women that run our fabulous ships. So we've done well on there. We successfully adapted, I think those ships to an ever changing security environment there where we're seeing a proliferation of very quite diesel submarines throughout this a or we're we're seeing the proliferation of higher higher levels of technology and cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and you pick it. It's just it's just escalating in in almost every area. And thus far, we've been able to to match that and our early burks have been really the workhorse of that. It's a tremendous you think about a tremendous success in those early burks ships through how many years of construction and how many flights and their ability to to continually be adapted to the scenarios that we're seeing brought forward. So I think you have to give surface Navy pretty high remarks for that marks for that. Our mine forces that we put there, I think have remained relevant. And the introduction of littoral combat ship applauded the surface Navy for taking the chance to push that littoral combat ship early. Now early is relative. Okay. I'd like to tell this story a few years ago. Emerald Meyer, when he was here in Crystal City, he would routinely call some of us over for council. I think I was a one star at that time. And he would call you in your room and then you'd have this dialogue about the Navy how he felt about the Navy. And on one particular one of my comearounds, he he said, he said to me, he said, you know, he said, he said that I'm gonna tell you about the 17 year locust. So what's the 17 year locust? He says a 17 year locust. He says that's how long it takes the United States. From the time you think about a ship, until it becomes operationally relevant, 17 years. I said, I don't believe it. So I started going back and I started calculating it. And he's about right. So we, the Navy, we service Navy, we set off down the road of littoral combat ship. And we said, we're going to do this in bury him in year seven or eight four. And we said seven. Then we had said eight. And we said nine. And we did do better. But we didn't do a whole lot better by my calculation. As I as I think back on it, when I was with Zabrowski and and back in the when I was an aide to the vice chief back in the night about 1998, I happened to be in a room where where they were talking about this this ship and this ship was going to be Street Fighter. Remember that? And that quickly morphed to something beyond Street Fighter because that sounded really too angry, I think for for the for the trade trade magazines, but it went to Street Fighter. So that was 1998. So that that about was a time the genesis of the thinking of what littoral combat ship was going to be it was going to be fast. It was going to be in the torals. It was going to be multi mission. It was going to be reconfigurable. It's gonna have a small crew. It's going to do all these things. That's 1998. So here we are 15 years, 16 years. So you'll you'll have really the first LCS show about 17 years later, but it's showing up with a whole different concept and a lot of different aspects of things that are going to make it. I think a key player in the security environment in the world I deal with, which has got a lot of littorals and a lot of interesting things going on in that. So as you go, now let's take a look at four. So when you go forward, what's going to remain constant for surface warfare? Well, the world's not going to get any smaller. That's getting smaller in other domains, cyber domain. I guess you could say the air air domain is getting smaller. But in our domain, it's not going to get any smaller. So you have to be there to be relevant. You know, having forces that are forward, having forces that are rotationally forward, having forces that can sustain themselves forward and be there is important for surface warfare. So I encourage us to resist any risk or any urge we have at all to sequester ourselves in some some quiet home port somewhere, because our relevance will diminish because you can't get there fast enough. Because the world today, we're warfare in the world today is going to move too fast in the surface Navy of the future has got to be on station has got to be well trained has got to be ready to do what it takes. So what else is going to remain the same? distance will be a tyranny, logistics remain a tyranny. We already see a, you know, we're at the smallest Navy since what 1916 in numbers smallest Navy, capable Navy is a big enough. My testimony says it's not. Okay, some in this room may disagree. I say it's not big enough. It's not big enough for the world we're in and the way we deploy ships today in the merging security environment. But that said, it is going to be one of the things remain constant was we're going to struggle to maintain numbers because of the, the implications of our budget implications of our industrial base, and our our own proclivity to want to take it'll take 17 years to build ships. And that gets expensive and it takes time. So that's going to remain a constant, I think. But more important, I think what remain constant is the importance of competent, well trained and well led people, competent, well trained and well led people. Because in the end, you know, we can stack up all the great early Berks and all the great amphib ships and all the great LCS is put them on in the pier. And they'll be a stack of mile high, but they don't matter if you don't have young men and women that can make a work and make them work in an increasingly difficult environment, increasingly challenging environment, a long ways away from our homeland. So so what is changing? Well, our historic dominance that most of us in this room have enjoyed is diminishing. No question. So let me say that again, our historic dominance that for the most of us here in our careers have enjoyed is diminishing. Now, some of that's because of what we were able to do. We as a nation provided a security environment, particularly in the in the in the Asia Pacific area that allow the rise of nations, allow the rise of economies that allow these these economic miracles that are happening and some of our allies and partner countries. And this has generated wealth, it's generated democracies, it's generated perspectives on security. And it's caused those nations to want to go to pursue their on their own security mechanisms. When they do that, they take money and they buy and they invest in resources to buy defenses. And so it's it's not unusual for us to need to sit here on those can be a highlight that we're our dominance is diminishing, but it's something we have known was going to happen. And then we have to expect to continue to happen. So what does that mean? Well, it means that the future generation service warfare officers have got to think to pay more particular attention to the ability to show up on the scene and be lethal and be dominant, lethal and dominant, and to bring all the great aspects of information technology and warfare technology and all the things that our great country can produce for us and be able to show up and to be lethal and dominant. We have to come to grips with those areas that we know we have vulnerabilities in. We have to come grips with them. Okay. And we can't wish them away. We can't wish them into the next generation. And there are some of those areas where we have to think hard about where are we being challenged by technology? And what is our answer to that? Now, every great generation in this generation of naval officers sitting here is as great as anyone has ever been, has acknowledged those challenges and then stepped up to them. Wayne Myers of the world, Hank Mustins of the world. I could go on and just just name that who said, hey, we have we have an area here where we need to focus. We need to get after it. And the technology was found. The resources were put in place. So I just say we need to think about this. We need to think about it. But I'm proud of the readiness of the ships today. And I'm proud of the readiness that our surface warriors leadership has been able to provide and produce, particularly during this period of time, we've gone through the budget issues and the sequestration. So from where I sit as a pay com commander, we have about as ready a force with great ships as I've seen in a long time. Now, I hope that we continue that. But being being having good readiness is only one part of the equation. When you show up to the future fights that we envision the future warfare scenarios, secure security scenarios that we envision in the 21st century, many of them could emanate out of the pay com AOR. We have to also show up and be relevant. Be honest with you, our lack of urgency on development of the next generation of surface launched over the horizon cruise missiles is troubling. We were behind the need. And we need to think about that. We need to think about what is surface warfare role in other than defensive operations. As a pay com commander, I need you to be thinking in the offensive mode. I need you to be thinking, how are you going to show up? How are you going to be dominant? How are you going to be lethal? And that requires it to think about all scenarios, not just the ones that we've been that we've been dealing with in the last several years where we have enjoyed basic air superiority, basic sea superiority. There's places in the world where in this century, you won't have that. And whenever these magnificent $2 billion warships show up, they are going to have to be dominant. And they're going to have to have the tools to be dominant. You also have to look and embrace the value of asymmetric capabilities that we bring. We have to continue to pursue unmanned systems.  Things like offensive mining need to be thought about. We haven't talked about a mining for a long time. In fact, it becomes sometimes it becomes a step sister to our dialogue in surface warfare. But surface warfare community, in my view, has to embrace the mine community, has to embrace this as an asymmetric, not only as a defensive capability, but as an asymmetric capability that allows us to be dominant in a battle space that may not we may not always be dominant in when we enter. High speed lift, important to me. How do you how do you get things around faster? This is a surface warfare equity. How do you use the systems you have, the existing systems you have in different ways? I think that there we've shown that to be true with our Aegis systems and our ability to convert those to ballistic missile defense platforms. But we have a wide array of great systems that need to be transitioned into the next next century and have to bring those capabilities that make them relevant in the battle space of that century. And then we have to, you know, unleash the incredible innovation of the force. You have to make sure that inside of our self-talk and the way we lead our own people that we're allowing the future generation to tell us how to best do these things. And they're the ones who are going to tell us. There's not guys on the front row here. It's the young lieutenants and the young lieutenant commanders and young chiefs and first-class petty officers who are going to say, hey, this is a way to do this. And we have to ensure that we continue to have a force as vital. I think we do today. I see it from the Paycom commander. I think you're pretty healthy. But I say we have to have to stay after that. And then for all of you at who's got the next big idea, that's what we're all waiting on. So what's next? What's next? So now we've got the Toro Combat Ship. That's going to roll in. It's got a place in the battle space. We're going to have a legacy force of DDGs. The cruisers are going to transition out. Our amphibious force is going to be modernized at whatever pace. But what's the next big idea for service warfare? What's the next big idea? And then finally, close by saying, I think that you all should think about as you think about both from an industry perspective and a service warfare leadership perspective. You need to start bringing the calculus of the Indo-Asia Pacific more into your thinking about what it means for the future of the Navy. What it means for the future of the service warfare Navy. I mean, this is your plum to pick. Okay? It's your plum to pick because there are so many opportunities for service warfare in the battle space that could be defined by the challenges that are in the Indo-Asia Pacific. And embracing those in your procurement and embracing them in your training and embracing them in your future outlook, I think is critical to the success, not only of the service Navy, but of our US Navy and our US policy and the interests of the US American people. So with that, let me stop and see if there's any questions.


Hi guys, welcome back, it's Yannick Smiths from the next question. I just got a question, actually I got a lot of questions asking about passport requirements in the DCC. Remember when we are talking about the travel, when we are talking about the travel in the DCC or any country in the world. Remember you need to have what you call a passport. We need to have a passport. A passport is a document that is maybe issued by the government of your country. It is a document that would specify or would just, the document that would describe the person that is the citizen of this country. And that is the document that will require you to travel from one country to another because it will contain all what you call all your bio data at that case. And that is what you call a passport. So for you to travel or for you to who is planning to travel to any country. It may be for God country, it may be for Europe, it may be wherever you are to go and you are looking for job.  Unless to some extent if your country has a waiver, a waiver with another country that you don't need a passport in that you can use what you call your ID. Like for example, when we have, we look at the countries where they don't need a passport, they need to use their ID to travel. But however, something that you still need to know are the passports also have their regulations. There passports should, one of the regulations of the passport if you are going to travel, if you are going to work in this Gulf countries, if you are going to work in Qatar, if you are going to work in Bahrain, if you are going to work in Saudi Arabia. One of the regulations, that passport should be issued by your government. That is, it should be issued genuinely by your government. That's one of the regulations. Then something that you need to know, that passport should have a validity and this is why the main concern comes in for people who have been asking the question. To some countries, if you are traveling to some countries, they may say, if you are coming to this country or if you are crossing to this country or another country, the validity of your passport should be 3 months. It's validity or it's expiry date should be more than 3 months. That is what to some countries say. To some countries may specify and say the validity of that passport should be more than 1 year. That is a requirement of that country you are planning to go to. That is part of the requirement. Then to some countries they say the validity of that passport should be 6 months. That is the requirement for that country if you want to go in that country or if you want to get a visa in that country. So when we are looking at GCC, we are looking at GCC or we are looking at the Middle East or we are looking at coming to Qatar or coming to Saudi Arabia. Most of the passport requirements in these Gulf countries are the validity should be 6 months. So make sure as you are planning to travel to these Gulf countries, the validity of your passport should have 6 months before it expires. Why are we saying like this or why do we have to say like this? Because for example look at for people who come in these Gulf countries. You always have what you call a probation of 6 months. And under that probation you will go for what you call medicals. What you call maybe the medical fitness test. And remember within that time you will not yet get what you call your ID until you pass what you call the medical. And normally it will take a range between 1 to 6 months until you get your ID. If it is fast enough depending on what the system requires you may get it a little bit less than that. So meaning that your passport should have a validity of 6 months before it expires. That is the rule. So for people who are planning to travel to the GCC or you are planning to travel to Qatar or you are planning to travel to Saudi Arabia. Make sure that no passport has a validity of 6 months before it expires. Because remember most of the probation periods in some of these Gulf countries is 6 months. So meaning that wherever will be done the medicals and the race will be done for you to get the ID. Your passport will still be accepted as the authorities need it to be. As part of the requirement. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. This makes for my next creation. See you again in the next video.


In this study, it was found that self-report questionnaires do not accurately reflect the number of mental disorders present in elite athletes. Instead, diagnostic interviews and diagnostic instruments should be used to better understand the prevalence of mental disorders in this population. The results showed that sleep problems and body dysmorphic disorder, BDD, were the most common mental disorders, followed by anxiety disorders, eating disorders, alcohol use disorder, and effective disorders. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to explore these findings further.


My section for that little mohawk is gonna come back just to the background, get that round because of how the sectioning is going to work. I do like to follow the shape of the head, keeping a pretty consistent rectangle here, because it just makes for cleaner working. That looking all right, am I in the way? You work with nice clean parting, it's gonna make your life so much easier down the road because we are gonna be starting at the top and then working down. So if you work neat, you're not gonna be pushing a whole bunch of messy, messy stuff out of the way. So silky. Towards the, you know, right about the corner of my rectangle from the top, I'm gonna take that to directly behind the ear, creating a nice panel to work with. It's the side of her head. Take that out of my way. And then to finish that off, I'm just gonna divide this last back section just right in half. And this sets you up really for many different color and lightening techniques because this really does section out three pretty important areas that you have to work with because the hair along the part typically is gonna wanna be a little bit lighter. It's gonna be a little bit easier to get lighter and you're gonna need to be putting a lot of focus on that. Your hair through the sides of the head, you might wanna treat a different way just because whatever look you're going for. So we've got her sectioned off up top again where we're gonna be doing the tease highlighting. Sides will be weaves and the back will be slices. I like to work.  So which one do you want me to stand in? I destroy these.  I like to do weaves along the hairline because it gives it a nice bold pop without so much of a harsh, harsh line. So I'll just grab some random. Going a little heavy on it because chances are if they're already your color client there's already some lightness through here. That's why this is sort of refreshing at the same time as creating. Just come on in, get it nice and tight if that's the look you're going for. The only, not the only but the one part of the head that I really try to focus on a real client of making sure I get as close as I can is this money piece because that's what makes it pop so much. That's what makes that explosion around the face that everyone notices because it's great.  Okay, so we've got a little money piece working. We're good. Now for the rest of this Mohawk I'm gonna go through, I'm gonna take slightly thicker sections and we're gonna do tease highlights. So the whole point of a tease highlight is to get energy of a foil with the softness of Baleage and ombre so much. It's not, you're not gonna get close to the root so it's obviously not something that maybe you wanna do on everybody. For what we're doing here, it's pretty perfect. So I'm gonna do a little bit fatter of a weave and see. Decently thick and then just some light teasing. I'm holding on not real tight because more so than creating a nest at the root. I'm trying to see that I'm breaking up where the ends of the hair are because they don't have it super, super tight with the tease so there's ends all over here. I'm gonna highlight to about there and what that's gonna do, that's going to avoid a line altogether. Think about where that's hitting on all that different hair and then just to add a little bit more softness I'll turn my brush, just have more of like a feathered technique up at the top there. So you get a good saturation. And then Christos is saying, or Christos Christos is saying how much space do you have between your sections? Here I'm doing maybe half inch in between. It's really going to be dictated by how much you want this curtain up top to have lightness going throughout. I'm gonna get that out of my way.  It needs to look good in many different directions. I am gonna follow the hairline and I'm gonna do a really light weave first because a lot of people even on a look like this that does look a little more lived in do still want it to show when they pull their hair back. I do like to do just a little guy, a little itsy bitsy along the hairline.  I'll be eating. He's cute. And then I'll just leave that as an actual weave. I won't tease it or anything. I'm gonna do both sides or just go into the back after this. So we get that little cute little weave in there. But then once I move into, once we go beyond the hairline and we get into the meat of the side section, I do like giving it a little bit more of a pop. Because we're doing a weave, it's not going to explode like a sliced wood, but I do wanna start seeing some bands running through the hair because we are trying to marry this new look with if she's got full blonde on her ends. I like to follow my section angle, that with the hairline because that makes it fine if the hair comes forward, fine if the hair goes back and it gives it enough of a diagonal to diffuse it as it comes down. Again, it's a nice little weave. I like to change up some thicker, some little. You can do Morse code in their hair if you want with dots and dashes, whatever. Whatever makes you happy and also makes them happy because let's not forget kinda what they're paying for. I'm a big fan of Olaplex. Ever since it came out, I've seen really amazing things. I've been able to do really amazing things. I'd say not stress as much, but let's be honest, like we're all just stressing all the time. But it's nice that my stress is for nothing when I use Olaplex and the hair feels great afterwards. It has a nice shine. So back here, typically the hair is more dense. It is darker. It doesn't see the light as much. You can go, you can get in there a little bit. Back here is where I like to do full-on slicing because this is what's going to fall around, like around the face, but like around the neck. That heavy shadow that comes from back here. Nice pops of highlights here will just help to break that up a little bit. Just make it explode a little bit more when they look in. I am going to start a fine, everything I just said, hold on to that, but forget it for a moment because I'm going to start with a fine weave on the hairline just for pulling it up out of your, like when she pulls her hair up sick. Anytime I'm doing anything along the hairline, I like to do a fine weave just cause it makes it a little bit softer. Again, whatever your little heart desires far as how much. So here's a question. Janine is saying, would you say this technique would have an age group or would you use it for a mature style? I have been using this on anybody because it's really, it's not so much of a, like a TikTok trend as it is just a technique for making someone's hair look nice. Like it's not, I don't feel like this plays into any trend too hard that would ice anybody out that may want it. That make sense?  Maybe do a little smaller of a money piece. You know, don't be afraid to reference Jan Aniston. Everyone of every age wants to look like her. I'm mirroring the hairline as far as my, I like diagonals cause they blend and you want a little bit of blending to happen when you're using something more severe like a full-on slice. Again, don't go crazy thick. If you want more blonde, do more thin slices. And then I'll use this piece cause I, it's the last one you put in. This will be what I check to make sure everything is done.  I'll come back to this foil and look at it and be like, oh yeah, no. Or look at it and go, oh yeah, perfect. Because if this piece is good, then everything underneath it's gonna be even better because that's got the added incubation of being surrounded by other foils and other hair. So if you look at this and you're like, yeah, that's, that's where I want it. Then you know that everything down here is gonna be a-okay because this all gets a little bit warmer. So that's exciting. We put the noodles in the oven and then we have lasagna. I processed it and toned it in those few seconds. What toner did you use? And curled it. Actually, I didn't tone this one time. Yeah, it was just technique because I have a demi over the whole base and I was afraid if I toned it would lift that off. But again, all right there. So now that you've seen where I put it in, you've got money in the front and then these diffused highlights back here. That's what the teasing does is it makes it so that there's not a harsh line but there is a highlight here. And you'll see it just picks up nicely but diffuses itself. And then when you come into the sides, you've got a little, let me just adjust. As you come into the sides, you've got your highlights in here. You've got your slices. They definitely show up. They're definitely in there. But when the hair is down, it's nothing too extreme. It'll blend nicely. And then as you make it into the back where you've got a bit stronger, where you've got your full slices, it holds its own up against the depth and dark of the back of the head. So how about them apples? Just give her a little all the way around. It's hard on this. Look at it, love it. Thank you guys so much for joining us today. Letting us be a part of your morning and can't wait for the next one.


Welcome, welcome to Unhinged with The DoorDork, where today we do have a very special guest, Mr. Joey Mares. Let's jump into the next one. Are you ready? Ready. Oh, man. Don't they have a door transfer right at the bottom of that, too? Yeah, the EPT down there. That looks like the Securitron one, the... The SEPT? Yeah, the SEPT, the CEPT that retrofits right into the Von Duperen one. Yeah, but it was much easier to just pop a couple holes and put a little loom over it. So I mean, you know, the first thing I noticed was the smoke seal on the door, so more than likely there's some sort of fire rating on it. So we fell that door, since we drilled through it and we have an unrated piece of wire loom running on it. Yeah, that's no bueno. Yeah, ADA probably wouldn't be real excited about that. Not to mention the world of door hardware, that won't last long at all. I mean, I've put $5,000 worth of Panic hardware on doors and then seeing people take a plane in the car and just peel it right off the door. You can use this flimsy little string that looks like kids want to play with it, right? Like, they already drilled the door. Like, why didn't they just connect the pieces there? Or what's going on? Maybe the failure happened in the power transfer? I don't know. Yeah, I think I would have fixed that, but I don't know. Or does this go to a different lock and they retrofitted with a panic bar on this? And that was their way of getting power to the motorized latch retraction or something. Yeah, maybe the bore through the door, the raceway went from that hinge over to like the trim and they just needed it for the MLR. They're like, oh, I see if we just run a new one, just run it through. Look, but you know, they put some wire loom on it. They could have just left it there. I mean, and he did a nice job in the frame. It's a small hole. Yeah, yeah. That could have been way worse. Magical tape on each end. I mean, you know, we can find some positive here. No, actually, it was a much bigger hole. They just bondoed it over just.  Yeah, yeah, where's the fire label on this?   It's not doing any good, right? Like it's better than nothing, obviously, if they took the door off the hinges, but it's like drilling holes into a fire door. You're just compromising the whole door. It's easy for flames and smoke and stuff to get through that. And once it gets through that, then what's the reason of it? Right.  Maybe it's what they had to work with. Maybe it's all they knew how to do. But in a true fire inspection and they reference NFPA 80 and they do this, they're going to fill this door. And technically this door should be placed to meet fire codes. So that quick install cost them a little bit of money now. I don't know. Electrified hardware, a fire rated door, hinges, a new frame. Like what that's? Obviously, we can't see the other door, but if it's in a hotel or business, it's probably double doors. They probably did the same thing on maybe there's an auto door on it. You know, so it can add up real fast. Hopefully it's not in the hospital because then you can just double it. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. So officially knocking score. What do you think, Joey? And I hate to say a 10, maybe a nine. You know, again, it's going to fell inspection if it's done properly. Got to give the installer a tiny bit of credit. So we'll go with the nine because they did attempt to cover up the wire and make it look a little more presentable. You know, again, if somebody's not in this industry, they probably really don't know about fire codes and how they affect doors and whatnot. So we'll give them a nine. That way we give them a little bit of benefit of the doubt in there. Yeah, I'm like in the nine range. I mean, if we're in a fire, this is a 10, probably, but in regular operation until somebody pulls on that wire, it's probably OK. But yeah, no, this is probably a nine. They call it shock door because when you go through, it's shocking. It's all low voltage. You'll be fine. That's how you do your test. You just wiggle it, blow out. Yeah, it's so good. We got power on it. Yeah, no, I'm with you. Yeah, in the case of a fire, honestly, because it's going into the panic device and it's on the other side of the frame, like it probably would still hold up, but it's not going to pass the test or the code or so. Yeah, we got to give them a knocking score of at least eight or nine. It's not too knocking bad. It's more just like, why? Why would you? Why would you do that when you have power to the door already? I think in this situation, too, not knowing more about the door, not that it still doesn't fail, but looking at what we're looking, I mean, if it shut properly and it latched properly, that's probably the bigger thing here other than it still fell in. That's true. Yeah, I wish each one of these pictures we had a video that complimented it with like someone going through it and closing it. And then then we could really get some detail out of this. OK, next picture, final picture. Are you ready? Actually, don't even remember, like my memory is terrible. I don't remember this one. So it's going to be a surprise for me, too. It seemed better. Oh, no. Oh, man. Well, my initial thought is, hey, I made it through all three pictures without seeing something I did. So we got that going. I mean, is there really even a door? Is it to the right of the picture? It's to the right, yeah. But like the first place, all the doors underneath the jackets, right? Yeah, I'm running through them shirts for sure in an emergency situation. Oh, for hot deals and clearance sales and fires.  I'm like, that's the last thing I'm going to be looking for. I want to see the exit sign and I'm dashing through it.  Yeah, I feel like they need to make those arrows more obvious or something or change the sign completely. So it's a different type of exit sign. It's yeah, or like big flashing lights like blinking, like pointing that way. I can see the frame is like a maroon. And I like how they've color coordinated the clothing display to like match with the frame. I appreciate it. Jacket just blends in nicely. And there's that like hoodie peeking out behind the other jacket. We could easily layer on to this door and add the options to this. And Benji took the picture. So now we know what style clothing needs into. I mean, if you're looking for any gift ideas, there's plenty right here. Well, Joey, you may not know, but Benji used to work at Ralph Lauren. So if you need a stylist. Is that why he's popping his collar right now? And since I can remember, I love the merchandiser and store manager inside me is like also like judging their display here. Like that's a lot going on. There's almost coming back in top right. It's an hour educating the door nerds on style. Where's me as a. I don't have. What I thought you went to Starbucks and like I have a day and excuse me, but I'm in my 30s, so I have sorals. What is that? Is that like compression stocks or something? I went into the shop with my wife. We were up in Leavenworth, Washington, which is a beautiful Bavarian village up in the mountains and walking into the store. I immediately pull out my phone and my wife's like, yeah, I see it too. Yeah, she's keeping her eye out for it now. So can we really write this door since we can't see it? I mean, if the only person that could exit in the emergency this way is Mr. Koolaid, man. It's hard to see, but there is a window. So someone could be confused to think that there is a door here. If they like are trying to get through and they're like feeling the glass. And anytime there's a path of egress or an exit, you want it to be very clear and concise because when people are panicking and they will, that's natural. We'll all panic in these kind of applications. They're going to be just like fumbling all over the place. And if they think there's something there and they're trying to get through, like they won't be able to even know the doors right there. There's smoke or something like. But don't forget all of those people are going to go out the front door because that's the door they came in. And only those door nerds are going to look for the other exits because that's the first thing we did when we walked in. We scan the environment where they can tell me all the time she tells friends any time we go somewhere. She's like, Joey has to sit near the exit and he can tell you where they're all at in the event of emergency. Like, I hope that I don't have to prove that to be good one day. But when it does, you're going to all be coming to me wanting to know where to go. It's going to cross my arms and say, I don't think so. It reminds me of the show, Psych, where the dad, I don't know if either of you watched it, but the dad really just trained him to be like observationally aware and be like, you can't have dessert until you can shut your eyes and tell me how many hats are in the restaurant. And it's like that. It's just like situationally aware of what is happening around you. Just training, right? It's just knowledge. Like, once you know, you know that you can't unknown, right? Like you got it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you can't help but look in.  Say, hey, come this way. It was a fairly long store. Like what if the fire started up at the front of the store and like that's your only way to escape as out that point and people will be looking for it. I mean, it definitely needs to be fixed. I don't think a lot of people probably noticed the importance of things like that signage and location. It just seems most people just say, oh, it's an exit sign. It just, you know, but there's a lot more to it for sure. And I don't know if you were inspecting this, you wouldn't let this slide, right? You would want them to resolve this, right? Get the exit sign over to the other side or have this one be pointed to another exit sign that's above the door. Yeah, I mean, you know, the codes, I think sometimes a little different in other areas, but I'm sure there's probably a footage thing. You know, how far from the door does the sign have to be? I don't know of anything directly says it has to be over the front. I would assume with it off to the side like that it should have that error like we sort of joked about earlier to at least give that indication that that door is to the right and not underneath it. I think it could be fixed. I think it would be important to note on the fire inspection to have something done. Like I said, maybe it could be as simple as the error, but it's not. I see to the left of that, they got some surface mounted conduit there. So they had to extend off of that a little bit to, you know, move the sign. It would be the end of the world. I would also suggest not having the merchandising going all the way up to the ceiling. Let's bring it down so that if there is an actual emergency, there's a differentiation in where the clothing ends. But you guys baggy flannels now. Did you say flammable or flammable? Yes, both, right? Like I hope those are all fire resistant clothing, right? Like hopefully those are all polyester or something. I don't know.  That could be something that's over as well. Yeah, that's something to consider there. That potentially is degrading the quality of the actual wall itself, right? Because a wall is supposed to be fire protected as well. Exactly.  So it could be the same issue here, I'm not sure. I've seen that a lot where they like run construction paper all the way down the hall and like there's just a plethora of art projects and paper machete, like whatever is on there is like that in a fire. That's just going to all light up. It's a good time to remind teachers. Teachers do not decorate your doors. It interferes with the door's fire rating, the decorations on the wall. Then little Johnny's painting home. Don't hang it on the door, let it be on the refrigerator. And retail managers don't do this. Yeah. OK, officially knocking score. What do you guys think? I'm with a seven. I haven't used seven today. And again, I think it's definitely a big deal, but easy remedy. Can't see too much of the door. So we don't know about that. But as far as a path of egress, at least it's clear. It doesn't look like anything's in front of the door. Yeah, I mean, there's the step stool right here. But I mean, there's still plenty of clearance in the dark. You might not see that and you could trip over it. But if we're being picky, there would be some things here. But I don't even really remember that door. Obviously, there wasn't anything too wrong with it. Otherwise, there would be another picture right next to it. It don't matter how much lights in there. If I'm wearing my flip flops, I'm still going to stomp my toe on that little ladder, no matter what. Or just the emergency or not. So it doesn't matter. Your toes will find a way. Yes, it will. Preferably, but the pinkies are. So not knowing if the exit sign has a proximity limit. I'm in the six, seven range also. Part of me feels like eight, but some of the clothes need to come off from the top because that sign could even get lost in the clothing alone. Like even if it's within code, distance wise, it's too crowded. Well, like if they packed out the rack, it would be totally lost. Like if all three of those are totally packed out, especially if you're standing like closer to it, because then it's like jutting out and it's like overflowing a little bit. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I'm in the seven range. Yeah, this one's a tough one because I don't know if code wise anything is wrong, but it feels wrong. I'm like 99% sure this is not code compliant. I know there is like a foot wise, but I'm pretty sure it has to be at least on the same like wall. The exit or at least point in that direction. I'm with you. I don't think it deserves a 10 or even a nine. I'm iffy on maybe an eight or a seven. I'm going with seven. I like your answer. Seven's probably the right answer for this because it's not like it's that bad. It's not like they could eventually still find the exit. It just you might be running into the close first and then like, oh, crap, I can't exit out this way. Oh, there's a door right here. I'll go out this way. I mean, it's kind of like what my wife always tells me. You can do better. You can do a little better. Try a little harder. Incremental improvements. That's right. Thank you.

All right. No problem. So before we go into great detail, I'm going to invite all of you to come to my trading room. We run a live trading room for all week long. We'll show this a little bit later. And like I said, you don't have to scan it right now. You could. If you have your phone, get a QR code and you'll come to our trading room. We'll get you in there. So you can see of everything how we are going to talk about today, how we actually put it in the live markets for one whole week. All right. So what we're going to cover is going to talk about how to follow smart money in trading. We're going to talk about how we use book map, which I kind of call it a level four platform. I know that's not the word, but that's what I like to call it. Structures are basically how we see the buying sell signals, how we use the heat map, the CVP and the volume dots. So like I said, more of the basics, but I will teach you my strategy that I've been using using for over 30 years. Particularly now on the whole idea about trading is about early bird gets the money. All right. Now we start live trading. Get into our room about 730 Eastern time. Eight o'clock is where things start to pick up. You got program trading that kicks in around that time. Start scanning the markets. We start doing a live order broadcast. We broadcast live on all social networks. YouTube is usually a big one. And we'll do a 15 minute opening, see what's moving in the market. We'll talk about some of the stocks that we trade early this morning so you can see exactly what we actually traded and see what it's all about. Because this is basically a pre-market huddle. And if you're trading in today's market, you want to basically know where to look, where we find them, and if they're going to continue to move. Now there were a couple of good stocks that moved this morning. And I'm going to show you a couple of them. But especially this morning, the stocks, I'm not a big fan of trading on a Monday. Mondays are always kind of difficult because you come back from a weekend, but apparently this morning it was a pretty good one. So let's talk about how we scan the stocks first before we actually go to book map and start looking at some of the stocks. Because I want you to know where we find them and how do we utilize them.  Now this is, you can see there's a lot of stocks that moved this morning. This is every day, every day is a new adventure in trading. So you'll see on this list, you'll have the biggest percentage gainer, which was STI up 64%. And we can go all the way down to number 25, which is 7%. Now there are over 20,000 stocks that trade today's markets. Look that there's only not that many of them that are the most active. Out of those 20,000, only a top 25 are pretty much the ones we're going to trade. Now, how do we know out of those 25, which one is going to give us the least amount of risk with the high amount of reward? That's what we're going to focus on. But if you want to know where my crystal ball is, you're looking at right there. And I know every single one of you get this on your own. Every brokerage firm offers it. I always find a lot of people who neglect it because they're like, okay, so that stock's moving through good news, big deal. I wish I had it earlier, but some of these stocks will continue to move. You just need to know how to use the book map to kind of help you to know where those directions are going to continue to go. Now, here's basically what we trade this morning. There was a couple of stocks you could see here at 916. We did our meeting at nine o'clock. We usually done around 915.  This is the basically the list that we had that was moving this morning. And obviously, not all of them did move, but some of them did move pretty well, like STI and GOEV. Tesla also moved pretty good. Some of CGC moved okay. But there were other ones that also did make some nice moves. We're going to check them out. Like a stock symbol, which I didn't bring up right now, which is a SMR. Nice little mover. Kind of showed up late. We're going to look at that one also. Now, let's go over one of the stocks that we traded this morning, like GOEV. Now, how do we kind of use, before we go to the actual book map, here's a screenshot of how we kind of use it. Now, everybody you'll see that does presentations at book map, use things a little bit different. I don't kind of get too technical on the platform. I don't like to add all these bells and whistles to it, but you could see it's kind of more cleaner this way. As a day trader, we kind of just kind of look and want to see where the bowls are. As in the volume bowls, see the consistent of those orders that are out there. How long they've been out there for? Did they add to the orders? Did they pull their orders? All that stuff right there. So you could see right here that GOEV had a really nice push around 9.30 this morning. And then you could see that there was a 95,000 share order out there. The COB, which you see up on top, is called the Current Order Book. Now, I don't know if anyone here has watched me on NASDAQ. I do a lot of presentations for NASDAQ. I actually teach everyone how to use their NASDAQ Book Viewer. So basically, if you're familiar with the Book Viewer, that's basically the Book Viewer. That's just all the orders. The difference to this one is you're just not getting NASDAQ. You're also getting EDGX, which there are other exchanges out there. So it's aggregating all those orders into it. But what's beautiful about the Book Map is I'm seeing it on a heat map. I get to see not just that order, but like when did he started? Is he getting executed? All that good stuff. So you're seeing all those orders out there. And what was good about this order that you could see is that when it got close to that order, you could see there was a lot of big green, green balls. Now, what does that mean? Transactions. The bigger the ball, the more volume, the color of the ball tells you where you're taking off. So red means the transactions are on the bid. Green means transactions on the ask. Now, why would anybody want to buy a stock with a big seller out there? Obviously, somebody wants to buy it. They think it's a good deal. And you could see from here on the next slide how that stock literally just made a big run up right around that $3 price range and ran all the way to $4 a share. Now, what you have to notice about this transaction here is that look what on the bottom on the time during the day at 9.35 this morning, when we saw the stock right around $2.50, less than 30 minutes, the stock literally ran almost $1.50. Now, I don't know if anyone here is a fan of trading inexpensive stocks, but for me, why would they go trade a stock like Tesla or Davidia or Apple and spend all that money when you could trade a very less expensive stock and still make that good volume move? I mean, if you do the math, 1,000 shares of that stock and you made $1.50, that's a $1,500 profit in an hour and a half, 30 minutes. Do that every day. You're talking over a very nice six-figure salary. You make $1,000 a day. It's a quarter million dollars a year. I didn't know the $500 to that. You're talking about $3.50. So the goal is not about how much money you can make. The goal is why did it go up and why did it go up so much and you don't have to be so focused on the price of the stock and not discriminate on it. It's just other than seeing if the order is getting done. But getting back to what happened to this stock is why we're here is because it went up and it went up fast and it got up there quickly because those big orders got executed. But what happens now when we get to the current order book, you have to understand that there are always sellers out there. And here you have the big seller that did show up again around $45,000, around $4 a share. What happened when it met up that seller at $4? Boom, stock came right back down. So the thing when you're looking at trading and you're looking at these orders, it's all about following orders. It's all following about seeing the orders getting executed, which is called a breakout, and knowing that there's always going to be new orders out there, but you also got to take into consideration not all those orders are going to get executed. There's always going to be sellers. There's always going to be buyers, but it's always going to be who's going to fulfill the buyers and who's going to fulfill the sellers, which is going to make support and resistance. Now, one of the big things that we teach at Cybertree University, which a lot of you do things backwards is this. Everybody's looking for supports and resistance levels. Well, let me explain something to you. Support and resistance levels do not exist unless those sellers are out there that make that resistance and those buyers are out there that make that support. So the great thing about the book viewer, it's not an indicator. It's a trading platform, which is going to show you where those orders are. So forget about the indicators because the indicators are laggers. This is not a lagger. It's a leader. That's why we like to see where those orders are at all times. Let's go down. Let's just say, okay, well, can we see it on a brand name? Okay, let's go check Tesla because it works on every single stock. Tesla, you could see has been trending down over the course of the day. Now, the first thing that comes to that I look at, as you could see that there was a seller around 930. And as the day got the day went on and it got closer to this number, it got the line got darker and darker. What does that mean? Someone added to their position.  I want to buy more buyers come in. We don't know who the buyer is. You don't know how many they are, but I can tell you this. It definitely added as the day went on. As the day got closer and it got to 166, it ended up happening. It tested that seller. It didn't want to break it. It tested it and again, looks like he did buy some of it, but he did come back and had more to sell, which is what we call refreshing. And then what ended up happening from 946 to 952, for the less than five minutes, six minutes, it bounced basically over a dollar. Now, why did it bounce? Because of that seller and those buyers. That's what makes it a stock, makes supports and makes resistance levels. Now, what happened with Tesla is that now over the course of the day, it started going up. Now, let me go back to that one I just showed you. Buyers showed up and as we looked into the future, now sellers start showing up. You got to remember, they're always going to be sellers. You got to know where those sellers are at all times. You got to have the game plan. You have a game plan. You should not be trading. Don't let a stock dictate and tell you where it's going. You could see right here, once we got to 66, 166, now what happened is the stock went to 168, tested that seller, that seller got executed, next stop, you have 170, you got 30, 93,000 shares out there. And in a matter of what? 20 minutes. If you want to wonder why, how's the stock go from 166 to 170, it's because of this and like it or not, it went to 170. So you could trade in and out of the stock all the time. You could trade the stock and nowhere these buyers at all times. You just got to know where they are and you got to have that game plan went to get in and went to get out and they do it on every single stock. In this situation to continue the buying frenzy is that some of you would just be like, well, why would I sell 170? It just busted through 170. Why did it go to 172? Well, just like I said to you earlier, buyers and sellers make support resistance, but there are times where someone will buy it from that seller and knowing that that's the resistance levels and want to know how a stock broke of resistance is what you see right here. Seller was out there, seller got executed and that's how the stock ran up. So what we do in a situation like this, couple of things. Number one, you'll notice this is called consolidation.  And then boom, we went from 170 and now we went to 171, not as big as a seller as the one at 170, but then we're coming up to another new big seller at 172 for 78,000 shares. So what we would have done here could always buy it back. You could always buy it back, but let someone else break it. Let somebody else go through that resistance levels. That's all you need to do. Now, did you hear the news that happened with Google today? You know, about appalling, partnering up with Apple, regarding about their new AI platform. That's great. So question is, did it go up? Yeah, it went up, but the question is when and how much will it continue to go up? Well, when we look at the book map, first thing we do, bring up the platform, bring up the stock symbol, see what the stock is trading at. You could see right here is 830 in the morning to 915. We're looking at pre-market. Like I said earlier, we do a lot of pre-market trading at Cybertree University. Just can't wake up at 930 when the market opens up and think you know what's going on. But you'll notice that there's a lot of trades that go off in pre-market and right away at 150, we got the 27,000-chair seller out there. Once the market opened up, what did the stock do? It went to 170. It went to that 150, but what I want you to notice here is that when we looked earlier, it was 27,000 and that was at 915. Once the market opened up, look what happened. Orders started showing up. Now we got up to 187,000 shares. Now, that's a lot of shares. I mean, when you really think about it, 187,000, what would you be doing if you had the stock early this morning at 148? I mean, I'd be looking to sell at 150. I mean, a $2 move is a $2 move. I don't care how you interpret the news. I'm like, yeah, this is amazing news. This could be great. But how will you know how much is going to go up? How do you know exactly when to hold or when to fold? The only way to do that is when you look at book map, you see 187, that's where we focused on. The big thing about this is that we see here is we passed 150. How is that even possible? Look at the green bull there on the left-hand side. Look right here. That big bull means that big order got filled. Somebody wanted to buy those shares. Listen, it could be BlackRock, it could be Goldman, it could be anybody. I know it's not you and me, but it definitely was somebody, but someone bought a lot of it. It's not like he had another 180,000 more to go. He got what he wanted. He sold it. Then you wonder why? How does the stock go higher and break through resistance levels? How does big orders like that get filled? You just witness it right there. By the way, this is everything that happened this morning. See, traders have to have a game plan when we trade. After no way, then you live alerts to your phone. We also posted it on our social media, but this is the best place to get it. Then right here on the right-hand side, this is our live commentary. Now, we do live audio commentary just like I'm doing right now at the first hour in the last hour. Now, because it's a slow time market, there is this one stock that is moving. I want to show it to you. It's called this SMR. I don't know if anyone saw it, anyone traded, but we're going to go and check it out. All right. So, SMR is right here. So, SMR was a great runner-up this morning. It ran from $8.50, and you could see here, in a matter of 10 minutes, it ran to $10. That is a very big run. Then it backed off, and then it came back, and then kind of hovered right here around this $9.50, and then went right up to this $10. Now, the thing that we have to look at is, okay, why did the stock go up to $10 backed off and come back to $8.50 or that $8, then she came back to $10 and busted through it. Well, that's where the orders come in. So, if you look right here, here's the book viewer, book map, I'm sorry, and you could see that the issue with this one specifically is that it's kind of messy. All right. And as much as you've had a good runner and a good mover, if you look at the dots and you look at the lines, it looks like the stock is everywhere. You've got a lot of orders everywhere. It's not as clean as some of the other ones, which I'm going to show you in the next few moments. Okay. But you could see that there are orders here all over the place. Now, when we go to a stock like this one, on the other hand, RVSN, it's a lot easier to kind of comprehend. Look at this red line that started right here in the morning at $4.00. You could see it started right around here around $2.50. But you could see those big orders right there, but you'll notice right here it's not breaking this number of $2.40, $73,000. It's been hovering there all day. Now, when we look at the stock, RVSN, the stock we traded it just in the, in January, it ran from like $2.00 in a couple of days, went to $23.00. It was a great short squeeze. This basically was a short squeeze. But as a day trader, it was great every day for about several days. You could see it was just going up, up, up, up, up. And then obviously you could have shorted it and went down, down, down. But the big thing is not what it did back in February. My question is, what are you doing for me lately? Okay. Well today, it had a decent move. And you could see how it had a good pop early in the morning, ran from $2.40 up to $2.90. But then it never came back down to, it never broke that $2.50. And it's been hovering at $2.50 all day. And the reason for that is this. If I zoom out, you could see that there was some sellers right around $3.00, tested it, and it came back down. And it never wanted to break past this $2.40. So it's just basically harbored and hovered and hovered here. So I had a situation. I want to bring up what happened to me the other day last week. We have a new student that joined us. And she did a trade in Tesla. I'm going to bring up Tesla really quick here because I want to show you something to happen here. So Tesla on the other hand, let me bring up the chart here. So you could see Tesla on the long-term chart is not doing well at all. It's breaking a 52-week low. And I don't think we ever saw Tesla do this bad in a year. But you could see right here, she got herself involved in some option trade on it that someone was teaching her options. And she got a call on it. So now she's in a really bad situation owning the stock. And we're looking at it. And when you look at the stock right here, and I'm going to zoom in a little bit closer here and show what I'm talking about, she got called right around here around this $1.75. And what happened to her is that it was a good trade at $1.75, but it broke $1.75. And then she got all the way down here at $1.60. So the big thing that what happens, she's like, I can't hold on to it. I'm losing way too much money. I'm getting crushed. So my thing is I understand that there's a time to hold and there's a time to fold. And when you look at here on the chart, it doesn't look like there's absolutely no support level anywhere. But when we went to the book viewer, you could see here, let me zoom out, there's a big buyer here at $1.60 for 357,000 shares. Now on Friday, I mean on Thursday, it was more than that. It was almost a half a million. So my thing I was trying to tell Jeanette, the girl that got called on this trade, she became a student because of that because she's like, wow, you saved me a ton of money on it. I said, let's wait and see what happens at $1.60. You're only a dollar away of a big support. Why take a loss now? If it breaks $1.60, then we have an issue. You already ran the stock $15. What's another dollar going to do for you? You're coming up to a big major support levels. Sure enough, she held on to it. Look where it is today. It's back to $175,000.  Now you just broke even.  Take your profit. But this is where people make a mistake. They're like, well, I just ran it. Tesla, a great company, maybe this is the run-up. That's a bad stockbroker's mentality that they tell you what to do. This is where the hardest thing to teach is the greed and the discipline. Why go out there and wait and see if it breaks $175,000? Let someone else break it. We could always buy it back. But you just rode the stock to $1.60. Thank God you got it. You held on to $1.60.  Now let's just break even and move on and not be distracted. That's the difference of what we teach at Cybertrain University as in having a game plan and how to use bookmap not only as a day trade, but also as a swing trade. That one worked out really, really well. So when it comes to trading, you can use this towards that type of trading. The issue that you got to be careful with though is that there are stocks out there that do get quite messy. I'll give you an example. What have we got here? Let's look at NVIDIA. So NVIDIA, hold on. I got to bring up another stock here. Hold on a second. Bring up another one. The one problem that I had with bookmap and it's not a bad thing, but when you're looking at a smaller cap stock, you could bring up the system. The system will load up faster. When you bring up something that trades a lot of volume, sometimes it takes a couple of, a little bit, several seconds before it actually gives you all the data for it. I wanted to bring up the stock right here and I just need to go back a little bit further. The hours. SMCI. So NVIDIA, I'm going to show you a trade that we did on that one. So NVIDIA, you could see here is that big orders showed up right around this 9.25. You can start seeing. They showed up right around a little bit, a little after 10 o'clock. Had a big, big buying going on. Now it's happening. The sellers start stacking up against each other and you could see 9.30, 9.25, 9.20. Then it was a buyer that did show up here around 9.00 and you could see the red bull. He got executed. Then like it or not, then this buyer showed up around here around 1.82.  This is called a stack of orders that are coming in from about 8.50, 8.60, whatever. The orders really started showing up right around here. If I zoom out a little bit further, you see that you have this big, big order here for 100,000 at 9.50. The real big order started showing up right around 9.25 and so on. Now there is a stock SMI, SMCI. Now SMCI, you could see here, basically, created very similar to that stock and then all of a sudden the stock started coming down and there's really, there was no buyers on this stock. Now I still have this short position on this trade right here. You could see I had SMCI right here on that order and SMCI getting back to the book viewer. The reason why we shorted it is because it wasn't trading side by side with NVIDIA and it started trending because this stock is really, the reason why it's up so much is because it's the supercomputers and it's benefiting from NVIDIA. But this stock went up way, way up faster than NVIDIA did. The faster it goes up, the faster they fall. If you look right here, this stock right here came out and said it was beating earnings before they made the earnings announcement. This stock ran from like 300 all the way up to about 450 and you could see it just did not back off all the way up to about $1,200. So when you look at NVIDIA and you want to know which one had a bigger move, it wasn't NVIDIA, it was SMCI. This ran up almost 400%. NVIDIA didn't run up 400% within two months. This one did. You could see it right here. NVIDIA basically ran from 500 to about 900. Everybody's talking about NVIDIA, but nobody's talking about SMCI. Now the reason why I bring up SMCI is that some of us feel like we missed the boat. Is it going to continue to go higher? What's going on? NVIDIA's got this big conference that's going on right now talking about their AI stock. But if you want to trade some brand name stocks, you want to trade more expensive stocks, you could do it on the book map. We do use it, but we do use it as a swing trade. We do use it as an investment tool. It's not just more big trading, but you got to know where those orders are at all times. What else did I have? There was a more trade I want to show you. Is another stock that we traded, which is a lot less expensive and had a really good month so far, the stock SOUN. This stock ran from about $1.72 and it ran all the way to $10. Now the stock has really good options. Some people trade options on it. I know some people have good option trade on it too. But the thing is, when do you get out? What's the game plan on it? Now the thing that we have going on right now with this stock here is that you have this little bit of an iceberg order right around $10. You could see it. This is program trading that kicked in, but the order came in earlier on the buyer's side around $7.50. Now $7.50 is a very, very big support level for SOUN. It's not the support of a MACD or Fibonacci. It's because of that. What is that? Million share buyer out there. If I see my eyes correctly, there's a million shares out there looking to be bought. Now that order, if anyone here uses NASDAQ BookViewer, which is the NASDAQ version, it's actually two orders of a half a million shares that I saw out there. But the big thing is that if you are a swing trader, you could blow this thing all the way out. You could zoom in, and now you can see where you are within that range. You know what I mean? Because you know what? If it breaks this $7.50, that order gets filled. There's no one else starting it till $5. There are orders at $7.00, $6.00, but the real big order is there at $5.00. So the goal is, if you're going to trade today's markets, you've got to find and follow those orders. Now I don't know if anybody here wants to learn more about it, but this is how we kind of trade using the BookViewer at Cybertree University. This is how we train all our traders. What I want to do right now is I want to take the opportunity to invite all of you guys to come and join the trade group. I want you to come and see what we do here, how we trade with these traders, how we find these stocks, all that good stuff. So let me just bring back my PowerPoint here and let me tell you a little bit more about Cybertree University. We're actually endorsed by more brokerage firms than anyone in the industry, Benzinga, NASAC, MetaStock, Schwab, all of my demonstrations for all these brokerage firms all around the world. Here's a picture of me at the booth at the Schwab booth showing people how to use and follow the orders to their students. Now what I'd like you to do is if you want to watch some more of these videos that we've done, we have over 3,000 videos you could see on YouTube. So feel free to watch all those videos that we have. One of my biggest videos is if you watch the one on Thinkorswim using BookMap, it's our most popular video. So if anyone here uses Thinkorswim, you might want to watch that video. And once again, once you do that, make sure you subscribe to our channel. Give us a thumbs up and make sure you ring that bell because we're broadcasting live all day long.
