Hey guys, how are you today? So this is going to be a little crochet tutorial Simple don't don't let that freak you out. This is a really simple stuff You really don't have to know lots about crocheting to do this. I swear I showed a picture on Pinterest recently and I'll try to include it right here Not on Pinterest. I'm sorry on Social media on Facebook and Instagram and Twitter. I'll try to put it right here Where I had made a bunch of these little Tied and crocheted bracelets and I showed them stacked up on my arm a whole bunch of them at once I really like the way that looks and I know there's lots of companies out there that do these little like friendship type bracelets and They're really pretty but they're really expensive And I wanted to try to incorporate some of the bits and pieces that I already had and some things that you guys Sent me into something that I could like wear and take around with me. So that's what I did and I made these Last night just in a few minutes So I thought I would This is one that I already had that was store bought and I used it as inspiration for to make these I Don't remember where I got this. I know somebody's gonna ask me and don't remember And these are nothing like this I use this as inspiration and for measurements, but that's about it Anyway, I these were so popular in the post that I made last night I thought I'd get on here and show you guys how to make some of these and we'll do the basic one first And by basic I mean This one Now you could just do a bunch of these plain ones Like this and you could just do a whole bunch of these in different colors and You could just stack them on your arm. They'd be real They'd be really cute so I Have to do it with my teeth, but you just pull these two ends And it tightens up the bracelet now. I don't like my bracelets too tight, but you're gonna Make them for you and how they fit you and I you know and they these will just dangle in the back You can do I did this one the same way as these only I Put a piece of ribbon in there as I was crocheting and then it came out actually a little bit big So I tied two knots in it and I really like the way that turned out You can just keep stacking them up All different colors Right, and you can also do some like I did this one This is a little piece of lace that was in my grandmother's sewing box when she passed away So I didn't know what to do with it. So I took it and I Made it into one of these bracelets by using it as the base and then just crocheting down the sides And I'm gonna show you kind of how I did that too And you just stack them up here's one that I made and This metal piece was gifted to me I Think in a pocket letter I don't remember now because now I've taken everything apart. I don't remember it was either in happy mail or a pocket letter And I did something similar to the lace piece and I just Crochet around it and attached it and this metal piece had two holes on each side So it was really easy to crochet up to the holes and you know crochet through the holes I did some crocheting across the back and then out the other side If you crochet, you know what I mean This is one that I made using some paper beads that miss Peter sent me kind of quite a while back They've been floating around my studio Begging for me to do something with them and you just and they look really great strapped up stacked up This is one made with a bead somebody gifted to me in happy mail again quite a while ago And I honestly don't remember who gave me the bead, but it's just gorgeous. It might have been secret Soto I don't know it might not have been if it's you please speak up. I Love the bead. I have loved the bead and it's again been begging for me to do something with it So then you just stack them up and you can put as few or as many as you want and they're really cute Look I like them So I'm gonna take all these off now that I did that and I'm gonna show you first how to do a basic one and Then I'm gonna show you how to incorporate some beads. I have some paper beads and some glass beads. I have this which is I'm gonna do the same way. I did this bigger one. This smaller one only has one Loop on each side, but this again this I know was in a pocket letter Somebody gifted me And then need so I some cotton or embroidery floss now. I happen to have crochet cotton This is number 10 crochet cotton either DMC or Flora Some of this is Elizabeth. I think which is an Egyptian cotton These are kind of high-end crochet cotton But you can just use embroidery floss. You don't have to have crochet cotton I also have been playing with using some of the embroidery floss and things you guys have been sending me And some of the like twine and things that have been wrapped around some of the packages You guys have sent me so you could do that too You're gonna need a couple of crochet hooks now For most of the crocheting I am using a crochet hook Size F. This is a metal F boil needle boing boy. I Don't have my glasses on boy B-O-Y-E and then this is a smaller baits steel hook.  I might have to use a different hook I also have some paper beads out here now I've been gifted and or made a lot of paper beads Over the years, and I think I would do these a little bit differently But they would be interesting thing on a bracelet too, so we'll see if I don't know if I'm gonna do these today But we'll see first. Let's just do a basic one and I want to do I Think I want to do I didn't do very many blues last night, so I think I want to do some more things in blue Let's take this turquoise color because I really like this color and you can combine colors or you can just use the one color I But you're gonna probably want to use about three strands Did I stop to get my noodle work scissors before I did? Of course not So we'll do first a basic one So you're gonna want to do a slipknot. I'm gonna zoom in so you can see me a little bit clearer Okay, so first you want to do a slipknot. Yeah Again, so do that and then pull the thread through slipknot You want to leave a tail about like this Put your crochet hook in the knot in the loop and then pull and it should tighten up around the crochet hook. Yeah Then you want to take your crochet hook and You want to pull your thread through the loop on the hook keeping a fair amount of tension on the bottom here and On this thread one two three You want to do this about? Well, it depends on how long you want your bracelet. So you want to do it between 20 and 30 times, okay? I'm actually gonna start a little bit farther back because my actually my thread might be not a little bit long enough You might you want to have about 18 inches to 24 inches of thread. So let's see one two five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen oops fourteen fifteen Sixteen. Yeah, so it's not long enough. All right, let's do that again. I'm gonna do about Two feet two to three feet of thread times three. Let's try that again We're gonna use this don't don't worry about this going to waste because it's not gonna go to waste I'll show you why in a minute So again, we're gonna do a slip knot take my crochet hook in there when you do your last stitch Pull the thread all the way through and then just yank on it and pull it tight and you'll have something that looks like this Yeah So then you're gonna cross it over Whoops, so you're gonna cross it over Like this Then you're gonna take another piece of thread, which is what we're gonna use this for Now last night, I just held on to this and did this but I think you should just put a couple of little binder clips here or clothes pins To just hold everything out of your way and then wrap this other thread around these this here Three or four times four and you know this is only this difficult because I'm doing it on camera last night I had no problem All right, then I'm gonna give it kind of a yank and squish all those wraps like together so that you have something that looks like that Yeah And then I'm gonna tie it in a knot.  You want to leave an inch or two So that you have a room to slide the bracelet on and off You don't want to make it too small, and I found that tying the thread ends three times gave me a nice big size knot And then I'm gonna trim it Okay So then you have a one then you have a bracelet just plain. Yeah, so The other thing I do is I take this is called fray check This is by dritz and this is in the sewing notions of any fabric or craft store You could use fabric glue. You could use crazy glue. You could probably use Elmer's just use something that dries clear Put it on the knots that you made on The center knot and on each end and that'll keep things from coming undone and coming unraveled Don't put so much glue on this center knot that you glue everything together and it doesn't slide open and closed Because that would be bad and then I've just been taking them and clipping them to the hooks above my desk Until they dry All right Now let's make one with a little piece of lace in it. I have a few different selections Let's see and I kind of think I really want to I want to use this one too. This is from happy mail from I think from Victor. These are some more little pieces for my grandmother's Box of stuff. I guess some little pieces of projects that she never finished I'm really kind of filling the piece from Victor. So when I did this one, I used a piece of my grandmother's lace and I basically just crocheted on each side and then I finished the back the same way I did the other one On this one We're gonna do it a little bit differently, so let's see So I'm gonna cut off about seven inches of lace. I was measuring it there a little bit off-camera My table has a grid on it. Oops See So I was measuring it to the side and I just took a seven inch piece I like that and I want to incorporate that right this with some other stuff too. I think I think I'm gonna use this color and I might have purple like this somewhere. Let me go look. I'll be right back But I might it's almost an exact match. So this is definitely these little ones are Lisbeth size 10 Egyptian cotton crochet cotton You can use it actually for tatting knitting or crocheting. I use it for crocheting little doilies and little projects like this Comes in a million different colors So I do want to incorporate some of this purple into this Yes, so I'm gonna use two neutrals and the purple. I mind about the design of this bracelet Because midway I decided I didn't like what was happening But I also decided that I had something that I thought would be better So I'll show you what I'm talking about. So I'm going to start again with a crochet of two And I'm gonna pull the whole entire long tail through that that crochet to not that you can see what I'm doing Okay, now you can see what I'm doing and I'm gonna take that not the short end here Okay, not the short end here. This is the crocheted piece not the short end this longer end and I'm gonna Using the crochet hook as a tool I'm going to weave it in and out the holes of the center hole of the lace I'm gonna do about one two three four maybe five of them and then I have these little metal Roses that were gifted to me They're teeny tiny little metal Roses and they won't fit on all of these strings of yarn, but they will fit on one So I'm gonna try to thread it through oops keeping in mind which top of the flower is the top part weave it down into one Ring across the back side of the metal flower and up Into the other side so that when it lies flat on the bracelet the rose is facing up because that would be Important and then slide it down and then I think what I want to do is Put a knot you should probably use your binder clips to hold this like together so it doesn't slide around Those of you who know how to macrame probably are already screaming that at the camera I have a macrame since I was a teenager so that's a little long time ago So I'm gonna just tie a knot there so it doesn't Slide down too far I like that and then I'm gonna keep weaving I made sure I catch all of the threads of yarn There we go Trick to knitting or crocheting with multiple threads is to hold them all together and treat them as if they're one big piece of thread or yarn Alright, so then I'm gonna keep doing that all the way across until I get about five from the end over here And then I'll show you how we're gonna finish it. I'll be right back somebody gifted these to me I don't know who but There we go. So now we're gonna tie this in a knot here if you're the one that gifted him to me. Thank you Cuz they're really pretty there we go Then I'm gonna keep weaving this all the way through To the end this last one does not want to stay up right there. We go Okay So I'm gonna keep weaving The what did I just say about the last one always being the most difficult there we go All right, so then I'm gonna Put another clip right here because I don't want this to slide around or get tight or do something funky While I'm finishing the bracelet And then I'm gonna put a slipknot right here next to the lace hopefully Take a little maneuvering To get the slipknot to be kind of close to the lace. It doesn't have to be perfect, but my hook in there That's pretty good though. So it's right up there against the lace and then again.  That's gonna be cute All right, I'm going to take this and Okay, when you're doing this make sure that your lace doesn't get twisted Cross over your threads just like we did with the first one and Put a clip on each side Okay, now one of these tails is a really long So I'm gonna clip it shorter and that's what we're gonna use to make our little center pull knot three or four times two Think I'm gonna just do three because there's a lot of yarn here and I pull it tight And tie a knot try not to throw your scissors in the trash can Cut your little ends take your clips off. Make sure you didn't do it wrong Okay, and then tie knots in your ends two or three times to get yourself a big knot Again on the other side maybe Maybe not Let's try that again It's just some cuz I'm on camera, you know cuz you know we're filming so things aren't working right and then trim And then don't forget to put your fray check on your knots okay And that's gonna be a cute one and that can that can dry that's gonna be really cute especially stacked Okay, let's do another one I'll show you how to do a basic bead one and This one and this one are done in a similar fashion. This just has two strands because it had four holes on each side of the bead and you can see that I ran the chains across the back Of the metal piece. I you know crocheted up to the hole crocheted through the hole Across the back out the other hole and down the side and I just did it twice and then tied them in a knot right here This one's done in a similar fashion with just one bead And this one was done the same as this one only with three beads so And I actually have an idea for another one let's do One with a paper beads We can do one with just thread first too. I don't know. Let's see. Yeah, this will work So we'll use these these are left over from the purple one that we just did I'm gonna cut the I'm gonna I doubled it over and I'm gonna cut them. So I have multiple strands here and Then I'm going to take Some of these paper beads that I have I'm going to pick a strand of thread Out of the stack and I'm going to do three beads of a similar color on each On separate strands these ones that are that I'm picking our Kind of a brown and cream and taupey colors these green ones Oh heck, I might wait. I might use all these beads So I'll pick a different strand And I'm going to string three more Maybe because you know still don't have those reading glasses It's not like they're far away. They're just on the other side of the room Now if you have paper beads that have a really tight hole or you're having trouble with your thread You may need to do this with a needle This crochet cotton seems to be doing pretty good though You could mix the colors up and just do them real randomly too. It just depends on what you want to do I'm one more set of beads.  I've got some green here. I might add some green to this Got this kind of rusty reddish orange color. This is what a design. I thought of last night that I didn't make I thought of after I went to bed So I like that and they're all like grouped together And you could do this with beads on like every strand instead of just beads on some of the strands It's just depends on what you want to do now.  I want to tie another knot You know the length that you do this is going to depend on how you know big you want your bracelet or you help you don't You know depending on if you have little wrists or big wrists and see that what that's cute That's cute All right So then the I the thing is what to do with all these strands. Do we leave them? I think we're going to just leave them and we're going to wrap them around each other like we did before We're going to clip them with our little binder clips Got to catch all of the threads in this or it's not going to work There was no crocheting involved in this one. You notice I'm going to take one of my colors of yarn and I'm going to just use the dark brown because I think that would be the easiest and I'm going to Double it and then double it again. So I have four strands and just like before I'm going to wrap and tie Just like I did before you're just doing it over a lot more strings of yarn Then we were doing the first time Or the second time Take off your binder clips and take one side and tie all of these strands together in a knot Make sure you catch them all It might be a little bit challenging because there's a lot of strands I'm just going to do it twice or the knot is going to be gigantic the other side This is a cute one and look at that and it's got all these really great Paper beads on it and things that I've either made or been gifted. I love that It's always the last one. Why is it always the last one that gives you like the most? commotion most problem All right, well I'm going to need More of a haircut than the others Okay, then some free check. I need kind of a lot on these ginormous knots So you want to make sure they're like glued and sealed shut That one's going to be really pretty Hang that up. So let's do one more. I'm going to give you an idea of how to do a basic one like this We're going to use all the blues. I think together. I think just the blues We've got three different shades of blue here. I pulled out of my stash last night So I'm going to start with about I don't know six or eight inches And then I'm going to make my slipknot pull it tight on the hook I'm going to crochet ten chains. That's what this is called one two three oops three four five Six seven eight nine ten then I'm going to take my little Jewelry piece that I was gifted and I'm going to switch hooks so I can get this little or one through One of these loops Oh, it doesn't fit I need a smaller hook. Hang on. Let me get one. I got a smaller hook. This one is a It says it's a seven, but so does this one I don't know.  Do about ten. That's actually way too many. Let's do five You want to do just enough to reach that other loop across the back That's too many So just eyeball it and see how far you get. Yeah five is good. So we're going to do five Then we're going to switch back to the little hook again so we can pull our threads through the Loop on the jewelry piece Just take your time and pull everything tight and taut And so that's 15. So let's do 10 more And then we're going to cut off another like six or eight inches And pull it through that last loop all the way and then pull it tight That's a good just basic Um Bracelet and that's how I did this one only I did it twice because there's two Uh rows of loop rings on this metal piece So I did it once across the bottom Then I did it once across the top just like this and then I took the two and tied them in knots right here And then finished the back of the bracelet just like I did the other ones I'm going to show you how to do one of these kind now I've shown you how to do the back a number of times. So we're good there I think So this one I'll do one with this glass bead And let's do another blue one Because I didn't do that many blue ones last night Maybe instead of this dark blue we'll throw in a little bit of the pink We'll throw on some pink pink would be cute like this one. Yeah, I like that. Let's put the green Let's put a green and let's do four All right, so for this one Again, we're going to start with six or eight inches and we're going to do a slipknot I'm going to crochet. I want this to be in the middle and I like the bracelets to be like I said between 25 and 30 stitches so um, we're going to do like 12 12 then we're going to take our loop and we're going to make it really big Now take our little hook We're going to stick it through the bead We're going to grab the threads And we're going to slide the bead over the hook And pull those threads all the way through the bead Except I missed one Let's try that again. Okay through the bead Through the yarn pull the yarn through the bead. I still missed one Maybe this hook I need to go to this hook. I have smaller hooks There we go All right, so you want to have it like that. Yeah Then we're going to put our big hook back in here and we're going to pull this tight So it's like that Then we're going to crochet 12 more One and that first one's going to look like this. Yeah two three four oops five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 Then you're going to cut off your six to eight inches And you're going to pull it all the way through And then you have one with a bead on it And you're going to finish it the same way as you've done the others and that's how you get this one What else do I have here? How about I have all these charms. I thought I might use So when you do the one like the paper bead instead of doing paper beads on the on the strings You could hang charms off of them Um, you could do small seed beads You could do medallions You can do a combination of things.  This is for my grandma. There's stash of stuff So let's see if we can do something with it I'm thinking I want to bring in Some of my blues I'm gonna get rid of all these little tail thread ends. I've got this pile here I should put it out for the birds To make a nest Okay So I'm going to not even try and match this yarn because it's faded and worn That's in this little crocheted piece. It's it's never going to happen So I'm going to get some pieces. I think it would complement it A couple of blues. I've got a a tan color I think they go really nice The purple I don't think I want to add the purple. I think I want to do these I'm going to start with again six to eight inches. We're going to do a slip knot Then we're going to crochet five stitches one two three four five Then I'm going to stick my hook into one corner or end Of the little crocheted piece. I'm going to pull the yarn through the crocheted piece and the loops Then I'm going to do one two I don't want to do one two I'm going to go from the bottom up through the top of the crocheted piece and I'm going to The loop is still on the hook and I'm going to pull some threads through again From the top to the bottom So you have it like that And then I'm going to do five more one two three four five And then I'm going to cut six to eight inches off and pull them through So you have this Do it again for the other side This is how I did the other one the other piece of lace Each lace is going to be a little different how you attach your chains, but basically three four five So the only trick is to remember which Way you did it the last time so that it comes out looking the same on the other side If if that's going to bother you if it doesn't look the same It would bother me Okay, and then I'm going to Go a little farther down and bring my hook up from the bottom Pull my threads through the lace And through the loop on the crochet hook one two three four Oops Pull your threads through And then you have this Which is how I made this one And then you just tie the little sides into a knot now on this one I think I want to hang some of these charms and things off of here So I've got a few different things and I'm thinking Which one do I want to hang? Maybe this one. This is for my grandmother's stash. I'm thinking to see the tree of life I think I want to hang that one So I'm going to take some more of the same colors of thread. I was just using I'm going to leave myself a tail because I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to finish this When I did this one, I just did it plain And you could definitely do that and leave it like this and then finish off the sides in the back And that would be fine So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to tie these together I could do that. I could just literally just attach it with some of those same colored threads It sounds like an interesting idea to me. So let's try that I'm going to put it through the medallion first This happens to be, it looks like st. Francis My grandmother used to make rosaries.  I can't read it, but it looks like it might be st. Francis So I'm thinking Right here in the center Crochet hook and pull some of the threads through The medallion came off. It might be okay though So now we have this Like this Okay, it's been a delay of interruptions detours and unexpected events. Holy cow So I was in the middle of finishing this one when people started coming home from work And my husband specifically so I had to stop filming but I went ahead and tied The medallion to the center of the lace piece. I just tied it. I pulled the Threads some of the same crochet threads I used for the strap Through the center of the lace And used it to just put some knots here and tie the medallion on and then I did put some fray check on here Just like I did on everything I finished up the backs just like we did on all the other bracelets So that is how you do some of these with the antique lace pieces And then I showed you how to do the plain ones We did this new one with the paper beads, which I just love and I can see me making some more of these I did this one which is a take-off on the plain one with a piece of ribbon woven in it and some knots I showed you how to put beads on it. I showed you how to put some of these jewelry pieces these medallions on And then we also did this new one, which I really love too So I hope that gives you some ideas of what you can do to make yourself some interesting bracelets with bits and pieces You have laying around things people have given you and that sort of thing just have some fun with it And you know layer them one on top of each other I'm going to make some more of these just plain ones to layer in between some of these other things and I Uh, I have so many plant I have so many bits and pieces I can just keep going So that's it for today You can find all of my copyright notices and disclaimers in the description below along with my contact information If you want to get ahold of me for any questions Comments concerns or maybe you wanted me to review a product that you have And you or you want to send me something in the mail my post office boxes in the description below Don't forget to like share and subscribe and have a good day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it And I'll see you later


Welcome to the Rich TV Live podcast. I'm your host, Richard DeSousa. And today we're gonna talk about the hottest trending stocks of the day. We're gonna talk about Bitcoin. We're gonna talk about dividend stocks. We're gonna talk about penny stocks. And we're gonna try to give you some strategies to help you win and beat these markets. Let's get right into it without any further ado. Right here, right now, exclusively on Rich TV Live. All right, so first and foremost, we're gonna talk about some of the hottest stocks of the day. And the hottest pick of the day right now is L-I-F-W. L-I-F-W. So this is up 139% of the day. And I must remind you that Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes. Past performance is not always an indication of future results. And I do not sit there and stand and hold the markets up in the stock market and crypto market. Every single day making sure you can sell. So you gotta be able to make decisions on your own as an investor. You gotta be able to know when to buy, when to sell, and you gotta have no sympathy in these markets. The markets are very volatile, they're very risky, there's a lot of ups, there's a lot of downs, there's a lot of highs, there's a lot of lows. And as an investor, you gotta be able to know when you're buying something, what is your exit strategy? If you don't have an exit strategy, you probably are not going to win. So even before you get into an investment, you really need to think what, if I buy something, what is my plan? So let's take a look at L-I-F-W, the hottest penny stock of the day, up 137%. But why is it doing so well? Let's take a look at this. So when I look at the one year chart, right away I can see this has been as high as $1.60, okay? It's been as high as $1.60, right here. And it's been as low as, see here, it's been as low as around six cents. So this has been as high as $1.60 as low as six cents. It's currently at 21 cents. So then I go to the one day chart and try to look at what it's done today and I can see that today it's gone from pre-market where it was at nine cents, moved up pre-market and then went up even higher. So you could have bought this as soon as the market opened and already made money. And you can see it's gone as high as 26 cents today. All right, and it's been as low as nine cents and we're sitting at 21 cents. Now, one of the things I like to do is I like to look at the RSI and these are the one minute candles. So these go up and down by the minute and you can see that the one minute candle gave us the buy signal here, but now they gave us a sell signal. So we're starting to get a lot of divergence, buy, sell, buy, sell choppiness and the RSI is kind of right in the middle. So it's not telling us to buy or sell or kind of in the middle and we're up 134% on the day. So what does this tell me? This tells me that this is already had a big move today and I'm probably not going to wanna make a trade with a stock already up 134% of the day. I find that to be very, very risky and I don't like to buy something that's already up 100% or more on the day. Really, really risky. Now, it's not to say that it can't go up higher. Anything is possible in the markets just because it's up 100% doesn't mean it can't go up 200%, 300%, 400% but once something's up 100% on the day, it becomes much more risky because what that means is that there's always a chance that the short traders are gonna try to short it and they're gonna try to short it down. So you need to understand that that should be in the back of your mind as a day trader that should always be in your mind as an investor is that if I buy something, what are the short traders are gonna do? Remember, short traders are looking for penny stocks to go up so they can short them back down. So when this is already up 140% now, there's gonna be a lot in short traders that are thinking, hmm, this is up 140% of the day, maybe now is the time for me to short this stock. So you gotta have that in the back of your mind. You need to be thinking about that as an investor, that there's always a chance the short trader is going to short this stock. Now, there's always the chance that the day traders and the momentum traders and the penny stock investors are also gonna try to buy it because they think it's gonna go higher. So that's what the market is. It's a war zone between the short traders that are trying to take things down and the day traders and the speculators and the investors that just wanna make money today that wanna take it up. But a lot of those investors have already made money today because it's already gone up 140%. So you gotta realize that at some point, a lot of them are probably going to sell and a lot of them probably have already sold today. So the stock market is a war zone between day traders, shorters and it's also a combination of a war between supply and demand. So you have to really understand what's going on in the market and you have to have a plan. Remember in the markets, people don't plan to fail. They fail to plan. So whenever I'm getting into anything, especially a penny stock, which is very risky and very volatile and remember, this is a penny stock that was already down a lot, starting to come up doing essentially a dead cat bounce. So there's always a chance that it could go right back down. Remember it's a penny stock. I just showed you guys the one year chart. This has come down a lot from $1.70 to nine cents. So very, very, very, very risky when you buy this. Now I'm not saying you can't go higher. Anything is possible in these markets. You can go higher, could go lower, can go sideways, but you have to understand when you're buying penny stocks, you're buying anything, what you're getting into, what your plan is and what exactly are you gonna do from here, okay? Now if you're looking to, if you're on social media and you want me to take a look at a pick today, just let me know what pick you want me to look at. Let me know why you want me to look at that pick. Let me know exactly what you're thinking. Yo, Romeo, what's up man? Did you buy LIFW today, Romeo? So if there's any picks you want me to look at, put it in the chat guys and I'll do my best to take a look at those picks while we are live as well, okay? So let's take a look at the next hot stock today, FRTX. So you could see, I mark this, it's been as high as $3. It's recently been as low as 45 cents, we're currently sitting at 92 cents. Now one of the things, and you could see there's a huge gap up opportunity here, but one of the things you have to understand is that when a stock goes under a dollar, it is the ultimate in risky, okay? Once a stock gets under a dollar in my opinion, it's the ultimate in risky because that's when the shorters, the day traders, the manipulators, the market makers are going to short this stock with impunity. Once a stock gets under a dollar, I call it no man's land. Really, really risky once it gets under a dollar. Very, very difficult at that point for the stocks to come back, okay? So you need to understand that anything that goes up can definitely come down and when something goes down, it's very difficult for it to go back up because what happens is the short traders just start pounding it with impunity, okay? So you need to understand that and you need to understand it's ultimate in risky, but FRTX, another one of the trades that is very hot today, up 59%. So put it on your radar, put on your watch list. I personally, I'm not gonna go and buy LIFW today at this point. I'm not gonna go and buy FRTX at this point because they've already made their move, but if I was looking to day trade, what I would have done is I would have been watching the market pre-market. I would have tried to look for these types of trades and if I identified LIFW as a pick I wanted to get in, I would have bought it right at Market Open and what it did is it went higher at Market Open because that's what day traders are doing. They were buying it and it went up. It made a big move. I would have sold it and you'll see that it started to go down. So with FRTX, I have the same type of attitude of, it's at 92 cents. I don't know if it's gonna get above the dollar. So at this point, I only really believe I might only have eight cents for it to go from 92 cents to maybe a dollar. So it doesn't really motivate me, but if it breaks a dollar, that's where I might be thinking, okay, maybe if it breaks a dollar, it might have some legs and it might go higher. So this is kind of the way I think about the markets. I'm always thinking about where's it gonna go from here? What's the next move? What's the next plan? Where's the next stop for this stock? Where is it going to go from this point? And if I don't feel like there's a huge opportunity for it to go higher, probably not gonna try to take the trade, okay? So really think about when you're buying a stock, where is it today and where is it going to go from here, okay? So here's one that's really making a big move right now, DTOC. So here's DTOC, here's the one day chart. You could see that it moved up pre-market and then it went up even more and now it's consolidated sideways and then my indicators are telling me it's gonna go even higher. This is not a penny stock, this is a large cap stock, but it's up 94% on the date, absolutely on fire. All right, so you could see it's absolutely on fire, now up 93% on the day. So big, big mover done extremely well, but you could see another stock that went up pre-market and then continued that momentum even higher.  Now look at this RSI. The RSI is sitting in the sell zone, so that's my indicator as a trader and as a day trader that probably I'd wanna get out from here. Now as I say that it is going higher and I'm not saying it can't go higher from here, but it is extremely risky when you start buying stocks that are sitting in the sell zone because that's the indicator that a lot of day traders are looking for. So you can see this thing started at 10 bucks, went to a high of about $38 and now it's come back down, now it's going back up. So super, super volatile, super, super risky, but you need to really understand the chart here to a high of 38, came back down to $11 and then went back down, back up to 29 and then went back down to 14 and now we're sitting at 26. So lots of volatility here, this is the five day chart and you can see it went up, came back down, went up, came back down, went up. So kind of like a day traders paradise, definitely a nice one to day trade, but very, very volatile. So please be cautious here and understand you need to proceed with caution. Romeo Live says, how are you rich? Yes, I did and took the bag at 27.40. Oh, well done, Romeo, very well done. Ronald Gonzalez says, do you think Aurora will go past a dollar again? It's possible, but that's been the problem with Aurora. Aurora's having a problem getting over a dollar. Until I see them get over a dollar, I don't trust them because I believe that as long as they stay under a dollar, the shorters are gonna try to short it with impunity. And once I go through some of these thoughts, I'll go through Aurora Cannabis for you. Hey, what's up, crypto man?   So feel free to become a moderator here because I'm looking for different people to help us with the community, with the community chat and give you different powers. So I appreciate you being here, Romeo. And feel free to say whatever you like in the chat and help us moderate the chat. But we are gonna try to come live as much as humanly possible because there's a lot going on in these markets. And I believe we are getting into a very hot time for the markets now going into the fall. And I wanna be here with you guys, day trading, looking for different moves in the markets, making money every day in the markets, in stocks, in crypto. And I believe as a community, we can really find some early stage undervalued, underappreciated, under-exposed companies where we can make money every single day in the stock market, in the crypto world. And let's get that bag together, guys. That's what I'm all about, is getting that bag and getting that bag together and really having a good strategy as far as how we're gonna make money and learning how to invest without any emotions. Investing is about learning how to eliminate your emotions because when you get emotional about investing, that's typically when you lose. But if you learn how to invest without emotions and just learn how to get in and get out and take your money and run, you can have huge success. Hey, my pleasure, man. Whatever I can do to help, brother. All right, so let's take a look at another one of the big trades today, BJDX. Currently up 41% of the day. You can see what it did. Shot up pre-market and then consolidated. So another reason why I don't like to buy stuff pre-market and I don't like to necessarily just buy something because it's going up, because a lot of times what goes up will come down because there are market makers. Their job is to make markets. There are shorters in the market. Their job is to look for stocks that are up so they can short it. You don't wanna get caught buying something that's going to get shorted. So BJDX up 42% and please proceed with caution. Here's EVAX up 35% of the day. And you can see what it did today. It shot up pre-market and then it went up even higher. So some stocks keep going, right? This is a stock that kept going. And then what did it do? It went lower. So my indicator gave us the buy signal. It went up and then look, the RSI said it was in the sell zone. It went up a little higher. And then what did it do? Started to sell off. So the RSI started to come back down and once it gets back into a buy zone, it might make another move up. But right now my indicators are telling me sell. So I wouldn't buy this with my indicators, the MAGD telling me to sell and my RSI also telling me to sell. Okay, so I'm not gonna go and buy it when my indicators are telling me to sell. Here's AVGR. This has been on an epic tear. This is the five day chart. And look, we've seen this go from $4 in the last five days to a high of 12 bucks. And it's been very, very, very bullish. So very strong move here for AVGR. They have had some good news. So that's one of the reasons why it's going up. They did oversubscribe on some fundraising. I believe it was 2 million shares or it was 2 million dollars. I was reading the news. So it's not huge news, but it's good news. So that's one of the reasons why it's going up. Now, one of the reasons why I don't wanna buy this is that the RSI is sitting in a sell zone. So please proceed with caution, but MAGD is saying buy here and the RSI is saying sell. So that gives me some divergence. So one indicator's telling me buy, one indicator's telling me sell. So please proceed with caution, be very, very careful. Okay, we don't wanna see anybody lose money in these markets, all right? All right, now let's see what else is moving in the markets. So here's RXT, currently up 9% on the day. Put RXT on your radar and on your watch list. So those are like the plays that are really kind of doing well today. And let's take a look at what else is going on here. Let's take a look at Bitcoin. All right, so Bitcoin, full disclosure, I am an owner of Bitcoin and it is my number one crypto holding. Ethereum is not my number two. We're sitting at 27,000 on Bitcoin. Bitcoin did start the year at 16,000 and Bitcoin is up, and I'll show you here on the ruler, Bitcoin is up 80% this year. So Bitcoin is up 80% this year. So it's done extremely well. Oh wow, welcome to all the members that are here today. We've got 58 members that are live with us. Welcome. So Bitcoin has done extremely well this year and I am a holder of Bitcoin. So if you've been holding Bitcoin or buying or trading Bitcoin, congratulations. And like I said, Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes. Please do your due diligence, do your research before you invest in anything we talk about or discuss here on Rich TV Live. And remember, past performance is not always an indication of future results. Just because Bitcoin has gone up in the past. And remember when I started talking to you guys about Bitcoin, it was at $1,000. Today Bitcoin is at $27,000. You can go back to 2017 when I started talking about Bitcoin on YouTube and you can see that it was at $1,000. Today is at $27,000. That's a 26X on Bitcoin. Congratulations. If you're with me on Bitcoin and if you're not, I'm just here to let you know that I believe that there's still huge upside for Bitcoin. Why? Bitcoin ETFs. There's about 10 Bitcoin ETFs that are looking to get approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission. And I believe that is a huge catalyst for Bitcoin and Bitcoin having is coming in between March and April of 2024 which I believe is now about six to seven months away and I believe will be a massive catalyst for Bitcoin. And because I'm a holder of Bitcoin, I'm not selling my Bitcoin. I'm holding my Bitcoin until at least my opinion, we are gonna see an all-time high. I'm gonna show you this. Look at this. The last time we had an all-time high for Bitcoin was in November of 2021. Now, based on history, I believe we will see another all-time high for Bitcoin in November of 2025 because Bitcoin goes in cycles. And the cycle right now is that Bitcoin is going to hit its all-time high based on its last all-time high. Every four years, Bitcoin goes on a cycle of up for three years, down for one. Last year was the down year for Bitcoin. Look at this. Bitcoin hit an all-time high of 69,000 in November of 2021 and then dropped in 2022 all the way down. And I'm gonna show you this right here. Welcome to all the members that are watching. 369 members watching on YouTube.  So look at this. Bitcoin did this massive drop from 69,000 all the way down to 15,000 last year. So all-time highs in 2021 of 69,000 followed by a big drop, a 70% drop to 15,000 last year. And now we're doing another move up because what Bitcoin does, it goes up for three years in a bull market. This is the first year of its bull market which will last three years. And that's what it did during the last bull market where it started going up in 2019. Then it went up even higher in 2020. Which 2020 was the year of the Bitcoin halving. And then it went to all-time highs in November of 2021. So it went down in 2022, which is the one year it goes down followed by three years of highs. So this is the first year of its bull market where it's now up 80% and I believe it's gonna go up even higher next year with the Bitcoin halving and the Bitcoin ETFs. Hopefully all getting approval next year. That will be massive catalyst for Bitcoin. And I believe based on history that we're gonna see Bitcoin hit all-time highs in November of 2025. What I'm gonna do is when Bitcoin hits all-time highs in November of 2025, that it will be my target to sell. That will be my sell target. So if Bitcoin does hit its highs in November of 2025, I will be looking to sell all of my Bitcoin and all of my Ethereum. So that's full disclosure. My plan is to sell my Bitcoin in November of 2025. So I have about two years and two months until I plan to sell all my Bitcoin and all my Ethereum. And then my plan is I believe Bitcoin will get to at least $100,000 in November of 2025. It might go to 150, it might go to 250. Some believe it's gonna go to 350,000. So I'm gonna be watching very, very carefully. So this is why I'm gonna be going live with you guys every single week because I wanna be here to kinda show you what's going on in the market and explain to you what my plan is in the stock market, in the crypto market while that is happening. Romeo Live says Bitcoin will go higher for sure. Ronald Gonzalez says what platform are you using to trade on? I'm using TradingView. This is TradingView. And if anybody has any questions, please feel free to put it in the chats and I'll do my best to answer your questions. Welcome to everybody that's here. Welcome to Rich TV Live and we are talking about what's going on in the markets and full disclosure, I am an owner of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those are my two largest crypto holdings and I'm not telling anybody to buy these stocks or buy these cryptos. All I'm trying to do here is educate you guys, entertain you guys and hopefully teach you guys so you guys can become better traders and better investors, okay? Now, remember, I don't hold the market up, okay? I don't hold Bitcoin up for everyone to make money. So if you're in this market and you're up and you wanna take profits and you're up on Bitcoin 80% this year, nothing wrong with taking profits. I'm not telling you to take profits.  Does that make sense? Your profits are not real until you sell.  Now, I have a plan, my plan might not work, but if my plan goes as planned, my plan is to sell Bitcoin in November of 2025, hopefully at which point it hits all-time highs where I am predicting it will hit at least $100,000 per coin. But I believe there's a chance that it could go higher, could go to 150,000, could go to 250,000, could go to 350,000 a coin. I'm not saying it will, I'm just saying that that's what a lot of different people are predicting. My prediction, the rich to be live prediction is that we will see Bitcoin at $100,000 a coin between 2024 and November of 2025. That is my prediction. When, I don't know, but my prediction is that based on historical patterns, we're gonna see Bitcoin at an all-time high between 2024 and November of 2025. Most likely after the Bitcoin halving, which will be between March and April of 2024 and November of 2025, we're gonna see an explosion in Bitcoin, Ethereum and cryptocurrencies. So I believe it's very important right now because we're six months away from the Bitcoin halving for you to start positioning yourselves. And if you wanna get into cryptocurrencies, I think everybody should start learning about Bitcoin and Ethereum. And if you want own cryptocurrencies, I think everyone should try to own a little bit of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Now remember, Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes. I'm not telling you to buy Bitcoin. I'm not telling you to buy Ethereum. I'm not telling you to buy any stocks. I'm not telling you to buy any of these penny stocks. I'm just giving you my opinion. I'm showing you what's happening in the market and I'm trying to educate you all to become better investors, okay? And hopefully you guys are learning from what we were teaching. Yo Brent, what's up? Bitcoin, Brent believes this thing will go to $454,000 by 2025. My man Brent, bro, from your lips to God's ears, brother. Brent says only 21 million not to mention all the ones that have been lost over the past 12 years. I agree with you 100% brother, from your lips to God's ears. Hope you're doing well, bro. Great to see you here, man. And welcome to the 361 members and people that are watching all over the world. We really appreciate you guys being here. So I also wanna talk to you guys about dividend stocks. So I'm a big fan of dividend stocks, okay? And I've done a lot of research and I've identified some dividend stocks that I believe everybody should be aware of. So these dividend stocks are very high-yielding dividend stocks. And I think that if you wanna have a strong portfolio, you need to own some dividend stocks. So these are dividend stocks that pay around 30% dividend annually. The first one is COMB, the Granite Shares Bloomberg Commodity Broad Strategy ETF. These guys pay around 30% a year. They pay annually, so it's just one time a year. So it's more of a long-term investment. But if you put like $10,000 in this, at the end of the year, you're gonna get three grand. That's a great return for a long-term investor. Now, if you put 100 grand in it, like a lot of the big institutions do, they put millions of dollars into these ETFs. They're making 30% a year. So if you put $100,000 into COMB, at the end of the year, typically around mid-December, you're collecting $30,000 in dividends. So I'm a big fan of these dividend ETFs. So I wanted to share it with you guys because I am personally investing in dividend ETFs and I think they're a great way to make money by holding long-term. So this is CCRV, another dividend ETF, which pays about a 30% annual dividend. It is the iShares Commodity Curve Carry Strategy ETF.  So I think this is a great way to make money if you want to hold long for at least a year and you don't want to take too much risk in the market. And I think right now the market is very risky and very volatile. I think this is a great way to do it. CCRV, put it on your watch list, put it on your radar, another dividend ETF that I think has huge potential. Here's one that I do own, full disclosure, COMT. So this is one that I own. It's an oil and gas ETF. They also invest in precious metals, but mainly in oil and gas. And because the price of oil and gas has been doing really well this year, COMT has also been doing very well. So I get a chance to make double money. Not only do I make money if COMT goes up, after I collect my dividend, I get 30% on my money, which is amazing because I put a lot into this stock over six figures. So let's say I put 100 grand into this. At the end of the year, at Christmas, December 15th, I get 30% dividend. So if I have 100 grand invested into this, I will make $30,000 in dividends on December 15th, paid out one time a year. Now the other good thing is I'm also up on the stock, up on this ETF. So at the end of the year, after I collect my dividend, if I choose to sell, I can at that point sell and then keep the difference. So let's just say I invested 100 grand and this ETF is now worth 110. Not only will I get a $30,000 dividend, so now my 100 grand is worth 130,000, but I also collect $10,000 in profits. So when I sell that ETF, now I also get an extra 10 grand. So at the end of the year, my $100,000 investment could be worth $140,000. This is why I believe you need to start thinking about investing in dividends. As I get older, as I get more mature, as my appetite for risk goes down and my appetite for safety and dividends goes up, I'm starting to be more interested in dividend stocks. These are the types of stocks that I think everyone needs to be aware of. Everyone needs to put on the radar and everyone needs to put on their watch list. Those are three dividend ETFs that pay really nice dividends and they're investing in what I believe are relatively safe investments because I'm really bullish on precious metals. So if you're like me and you're bullish on precious metals, then these are the types of trades that I think you need to look at. All right, let's take a look at another dividend that I really like. I'm actually thinking about buying this. I'm thinking about putting in a large amount of money into this, about 50 grand, and I'm gonna tell you why. This is the Tesla Options Income Strategy ETF, okay?  So let's just say I decide I wanna put 50 grand into this ETF because I'm really bullish on Tesla and I think this is a great way to trade Tesla without buying Tesla. This is a great way to trade it because in my opinion, I can buy this and if Tesla continues to do well, which I believe it will, Kathy Wood just gave them a $2,000 price target between now and 2027. That's crazy. That's like almost another 10X from here. So let's just say we play Tesla and we buy this ETF and I put 50 grand into this ETF and they're paying, let's just say for simple numbers, 50% a year. That's about 4% a month. So if I invest, oh, I'm gonna say 100 grand just to make the numbers easy. If I invest $100,000 into this ETF and they're paying me 40, 50% a year, that's about 4% a month. On my $100,000, I would be making $4,000 per month in dividends, massive. So I'm really excited about this and I'm thinking about putting in at least 50 grand into this ETF very, very soon.

We also talk stocks, cryptos, NFTs, real estate, sports, and trending topics, and breaking news, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. All right, we're almost running out of time. What I wanna do is I do wanna look at something that was, this is a brand new IPO arm. It's a brand new IPO. It ran a pre-market, went up after it opened, and since then it's been going down. This is why I don't believe in this market, it's a great idea just to chase momentum. Here's the cart IPO, they IPO'd yesterday, and what did they do? They went up pre-market, went up after they went live, and then they started to go down, and they've been going down ever since. So two IPOs that have gone up and since have gone down. So anyone who bought this, since they've been live, is down. I have not bought them, but I'm watching them, and if I feel they get to the point where they're undervalued, which at some point they will be, I will most likely take a buy, but I'm just watching them right now. I haven't bought them, but I'm watching them very, very closely. Now somebody did ask me here earlier, one of the members that is watching about a penny stock. So let me take a look at one here, Aurora Cannabis. So let's pull up Aurora Cannabis. Now Aurora Cannabis is one of the cannabis stocks that I used to talk about almost every single day. I have thought about buying it, I haven't bought it yet, thinking about it, but I haven't, and the reason is they have not been able to break this $1 mark. Every time it gets to this dollar mark, look at this. Every time it gets to this dollar mark recently, it just sells off. So until it breaks that $1 mark and shows me it can stay above the $1 mark, I don't have the confidence that will stay above the dollar mark. So for me, I'm very, very cautious with Aurora Cannabis. So my idea is that I wanna see it go to $1.10 and above, maybe at least $1.20 before I even think about buying this because until it proves to me it can go over $1, I don't believe it will because I believe that the shorter still control this stock. That's just my opinion. I might be wrong. You can clearly see that it's been way higher. I mean, it's been as high as, it's done reverse split. So based on this chart, it's been as high as 142 bucks and it's currently sitting at 82 cents. So very, very risky to try to buy this when it's being controlled by the shorts, okay? You want to, handy neighbor says AITX. Okay, AITX is a sub penny AI stock, which I'll take a look at since you requested it. I appreciate that. AITX, now I don't really like these sub penny penny stocks at all, but you can see, look, it's been clearly going down. You look at the one year chart, it's been as high as a penny and then it goes down. So for me, based on this one year chart, it does look like it's probably close to a bottom, but this is super risky and very, very volatile and any penny stock that's under a penny is extremely volatile because what these companies do is they sell stock to raise capital. So I personally won't touch it, but if you want to touch it, all the power to you, it is an AI stock and it might bounce to a penny, but it's extremely risky. In my opinion, you should proceed with caution, okay? All right, so just to look at a couple of companies that we are working with, full disclosure, here's SKUR, secure private data, stay tuned to my CEO interview, I just interviewed the CEO and that interview will be coming out next week. This is a cybersecurity company with no debt and growing revenue and you can see that this stock has been going up from four cents to where it stands now at 18 cents in Canada and in America, it's currently sitting at, it's SWISF in America, similar, in America it's gone from two cents to where it stands at 13 cents. So put it on your radar, put it on your watch list, company that we're working very closely with, full disclosure. All right, and here's another one that we're working very closely with that I think everyone should be aware of, Neobattery Materials, they are working on a super powered battery for electric vehicles. I think this is a company that everyone should be aware of, another company that we've been working with that's been extremely well this year, been as low as 12 cents, currently sitting at 40 cents, up over 200% in the last year. Another one that I think you need to put on your radar, put it on your watch list, NBM Neobattery Materials in Canada and in America, NBMFF, look at that chart, an absolute beauty. Another one that's been brought to my attention is Neely Surge Battery Metals, absolutely on fire, this is one that's gone from one cent, okay, this has been an absolute beauty, it's gone from one cent to where we stand today, $1.31. So this is another one that is actually a lithium miner and lithium is one of the key elements in electric vehicles. I'm a big fan of electric vehicles, I'm always hunting electric vehicle stocks and lithium stocks, this is one that's been an absolute juggernaut, surge battery metals, been an absolute giant, up over 1700% in the last year. So put it on your radar, put it on your watch list, Surge Battery Metals, what is the American symbol for Surge Battery Metals, let's see if I can find it. Oh, there it is, Surge Battery Metals, N-I-L-I-F. So in America, Surge Battery Metals is N-I-L-I-F, and you can see here a very similar chart from four cents to 97 cents. So almost a 20x for Surge Battery Metals, another early stage lithium miner in America, put on your radar, put on your watch list. Clank Bang says, walk me through here, TTOO had a PR and an FD approval yesterday, stock sank, BJDX similar company pushing similar product, but no FD approval source, seems like someone knows BJDX product is better and about to go. Okay, so let's take a look at that, all right. Okay, TTOO, so TTOO, this is a penny stock, you could see very, very volatile, been as high as two bucks, came down, and then down to nine cents, and now it's sitting at 30 cents. So at the end of the day, this is a very risky penny stock, very volatile. I think it's one you need to put on your radar, put on your watch list, but because it's been much higher, and then it's now down, I think it's extremely risky, extremely volatile, and I think you need to proceed with caution. BJDX is doing well, I did look at it earlier, here's BJDX up 45% of the day, but also very similar chart, you could see it's been much higher, much lower, and it's starting to go up on news. So definitely want to put on your watch list and put on your radar, BJDX, but both of these stocks clank have been much higher, so my opinion you need to proceed with caution, okay? Be very careful and proceed with caution. All right, hopefully I've answered all your questions, hope you all have a great day, and we've been live for quite some time, now 43 minutes, thank you guys for watching, I'm your host with the most, your boy Rich TV from Rich TV Live, saying have a great day everybody, we'll see you soon.


You know the show Littlest Pet Shop, right? You thought it was all sweet and innocent. Well, you thought wrong. Here's my story. It was Wednesday, the middle of the week. My friend came to my house after work and saw a tape in my doorstep. It said Littlest Pet Shop lost footage written on it in Sharpie. I found out later that this footage was from one of the episodes of the Hug Inc. that was going to be aired. It failed to be broadcasted due to horrific graphics. I laughed and told my friend it's fake and I never believed it. I wish I did. So I put it in my tape recorder while I made some popcorn with some cheddar seasoning. When we were all settled, he pressed play. The intro started off simple until the actual show played. All the pets were in the grave instead of the day camp. They were sad. I didn't know why, but right past Russell was Zoe's grave. Me and my friend looked at each other in shock. This was a very strange episode. Blight came by and put down some flowers. Then it cut to Blight's mind, where there was a flashback of Zoe singing on the stand by the window in the left front side. She was singing a new song, but it wasn't named. Then someone broke into the shot and knocked out Mrs. Twombly before shooting Zoe and ran out. I had no idea why only after the shooting everyone screamed and ducked. Zoe had unexpectedly realistic blood, except it was more like black ink. I was horrified to death. An ambulance came and took Zoe to the vet's emergency room. Despite their efforts, they said she couldn't make it. Zoe's owners blamed Blight for their pet's tragedy. The screen went to black. There was a blood curtailing screech in the background. The screen cut to a scene of all the pets, Mrs. Twombly, Blight, and her father murdered. It lost reason. They were bleeding, skinned, they had empty eye sockets and multiple stab wounds. The screen went black again, then the screen came back up with a shot of Zoe, with a splotchy, dark-looking fur coat, blood in her mouth and chest with blue irritated pupils. She was so horrifying, I felt like throwing up. She said, in a weak voice. You're next. Then the episode ended. My friend lost screaming and running out of my house. I just sat there, in shock. Then the screen cut to static which made me jump. After a minute, the static noise cut to crying and screaming. I tried to lower the volume, nothing worked. I thought my ears were bleeding. The screen cut again to Zoe, looking at Pepper's lifeless corpse. Zoe was crying, she murmured to herself. I'm so so sorry. The screen cut again, but with Zoe staring at me, no sound or movements. I felt every hair in my body raise followed with a cold sugar. It lost her same look, only this time, I tried running to my room, but I heard Zoe say, Where are you going? In a deep, demonic voice, I turned my head. She was coldly looking at me. I was so shaken, I took the remote in my hand and threw it at my TV. It broke. I breathed with relief that my TV turned off. At 9.35 I went to sleep, only to hear loud noises coming from my kitchen. I bolted out of bed and I turned in my light in the kitchen to find everything scattered, pots, food, dishes, you name it. I was shocked about the mess, then the thought of Zoe came to mind, but I decided to be naive and pass it off as a raccoon, so I cleaned everything up, walked down my dark hallway, curled up in the covers and went back to sleep. I wake up from my sleep, 10.47 am, pang, I slept that long after going to bed at 9. I shrugged, I turned to my wall only to find blood writing on my wall. It was messily written with excessive blood saying, I'm so sorry, with a small palm arc stamped next to the large writing. I was horrified, I called the cops, the fire department, any detective I could find. They found no clues, no evidence, they thought I lost ranking them, they gave me a good 5 minute lecture and left me in my home. With a warning, I felt sick to my stomach, is this really the end? Is this, how my death is planned out? I thought to myself, I couldn't move, for the rest of the day, everything lost quite. I just sat in my couch, I never went anywhere, I just sat there, like a brain watched zombie. It was 10.57, that I got up and went to bed, I felt nauseous from my lack of food, I went under my bed sheets and got warm, just staring at the wall. Getting paranoia from every tiny noise I hear, then knocking came at my door, I lazily got out of bed like a child getting up for school. I opened it, I looked down and found a photo, which saw me sitting next to one of her victims. It was my friend. He was there looking mangled, bloody, gauged out eyes and organs, but so was actually there. It looked like it was taken with an HD camera, and the walls were ridden with the same excessive blood for the words and pop print, except the words were different and they read, you're next. I looked at my friend next to the devilish dog in sheer awning disbelief. I heard getling in my house, I screamed, I went to my kitchen, grabbed a lighter, went outside and looked the goddamn photo, after, when it was burnt to a crisp, I put it out with mud and went back inside, but I found yet another photo laying in my kitchen, but the picture was different and words were as well, so was in her same eerie look. The image was took right outside my house, right on the picture there was poor written words that read, I'm coming, for you. Then I thought to myself, I know it.  I hope this message will be taken seriously, goodbye.


In the 1930s teams began to use a tactic of wasting time by getting the puck in their defense of zone and then shooting at the whole length of the ice. In order to prevent this, because let's face it, it's not very fun to watch, the puck gets shot down the ice and then the other guys have to chase after it and bring it back up and then the defenders just steal it again and shoot it back down the ice. So the icing rule was created. There are three main things that must happen for an icing to occur, but there are a bunch of different little things that can prevent it. So first I'm going to describe a simple icing and then we'll go back and we'll take a look at all the things that would prevent it from being called. The first thing is that the guy shooting the puck must be behind the red line and then he has to shoot the puck down here past the goal line. If those two things happen then an imaginary line is formed across these two faceoff circles and the final ingredient of an icing is that a player on the other team who did not shoot the puck must cross this line before a teammate of the player who did shoot the puck. So behind the red line past the goal line, the opponent must cross the faceoff, spots the line first. If that happens the referee will blow his whistle, call an icing and there is a faceoff back down here in the defensive zone of the team who shot the puck. Say we're the green team here. It's in our best interest to not have an icing call. This is something that we do not want to happen because we want to keep the puck as far away from our goal as we can get it. So the simplest thing that we can do to prevent an icing is something called gaining the line. To gain the red line means that you must have the puck on your stick and the puck must be on if not past the red line before you shoot it. If you shoot it from here we have a potential icing but if you just take a few steps forward to gain the red line and you shoot it from here play continues without an icing. The second part is that the puck must cross the goal line. To clarify if it goes in the net no matter where it was shot from it is a goal but remember that the goal line extends the entire way across the ice. So this means that if I shoot the puck from back here but it only goes to here it's not an icing. It must go the whole way past the goal line. Finally, if we have shot the puck from behind the red line and it goes past the goal line we can still stop it from being an icing by winning a race to the faceoff circle line. The race to this line is actually a brand new rule for the NHL at least as I record this in the October of 2013 it is. So we'll come back to see why this race to the faceoff dot exists in a second. Okay so let's look at all of those little things that will prevent an icing from being called. First if your team is short-handed or which means you're killing a penalty you cannot be called for icing so you can shoot the puck down on the ice all you want and there is no icing. In fact this is probably what most teams will do whenever they are killing a penalty. They will not be called for icing. If you are on the power play however you can still be called for icing. Next, if the goalie plays the puck the icing is taken away. That one's pretty simple. Next one is that you cannot ice a puck directly off a faceoff. So usually whenever there's a faceoff the guys will try to pull the puck back to their teammates but every once in a while you'll see a guy try to go forward. If in that event it would seem to fulfill the criteria of an icing it would not be called just because it was happening directly off of a faceoff. And last if the referee sees the puck go past a player on the other team who he thinks could have played the puck but that that player just let the puck go by him just so he could get the icing call then the referee is allowed to wave off the icing and play and will continue. So if you watch the referee the signal he will make for an icing is to hold one arm straight up in the air and oh look here's a creepy referee to demonstrate for us now. You might also see a goalie make the signal to race his arm in the air to signal to his teammates that there's a potential icing in effect and that they should race back past that line. If an icing is waved off for whatever reason like the guy on the other team who lets the puck go by him the referee will wave his arms in front of him back and forth just kind of like an NFL referee would for a missed field goal. Okay let's go to the next slide because that guy is creeping me out. The final thing that we'll look at is the different types of icings that have been adopted by different leagues. If you're brand new to hockey you won't know any different so the part of the icing where the two players race for the face-off spot line might not seem strange but as I said this is a brand new rule in the NHL and this particular type of icing is called a hybrid icing. It's called a hybrid because it's a combination of two other types of icings the automatic icing and the touch icing. For the majority of its existence the NHL used the touch icing system which meant that if a puck was shot from behind the red line and it went past the goal line a player on the other team would actually have to skate down and touch the puck with his stick but if a player on the team who shot the puck could get there and touch it first the icing would be waved off. So this meant that there was still that race only it was to the puck itself rather than to the line and because by definition the puck was shot down very close to the boards players would have to skate very fast and then stop very quickly very close to the boards so considering this happened multiple times each game players really didn't get hurt all that often and this rule was used like this for decades but they would get hurt on occasion so rather than a race to the puck it is now a race to the line which is much further away from the boards and a much safer way to call the icing which is why they changed it. The most popular system in the world is probably at the other end of the spectrum from the touch icing that's the automatic icing or it's sometimes called the no touch icing and this is used in many leagues particularly with younger players and during international competitions like the Olympics the automatic icing eliminates all races it just states that if the puck is shot from behind the red line and it crosses the goal line the icing the whistle is blown as soon as it crosses the goal line and it's automatically and icing as soon as it crosses that line so touch icing meant you actually have to race to the puck automatic icing means nobody's racing to touch anything or get anywhere and the hybrid icing which is now used in the NHL is in between with the race to the face-off spots not the puck itself so regardless of how you call icing though it is an important aspect in keeping things exciting hopefully that will give you a better understanding of how it works thanks


Hello, hello everyone. My name is Laura. This is my channel, Laura's Little Library, and welcome to today's video, which are my summer book recommendations. I have a lot of very different recommendations for this coming summer. If you are someone who likes to read seasonally, like I am, I hope you enjoy some of these books. If you end up picking them up, let me know if you do pick them up this summer, and I would love to discuss them with you. Otherwise, let me know if you've also read them down in the comments below. But anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I've got historical fiction recommendations. I've got contemporary recommendations. I have fantasy recommendations, and I have author recommendations, basically of anything by this author, I think is a great summer read. So that, oh, I also have romance recommendations. So I have a lot of recommendations for you. So definitely stick around to hear them all, and let's just get started with the video, yeah? So let's start with the historical fiction recommendation that I have. So this is one that I read quite recently, and it hit me. That is The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetis. So this is actually my first Ruta Sepetis book, and it takes place during the Spanish Civil War, and I believe around the 40s. You are following two main characters, one who is this Spanish woman who is working and just really trying to keep her family afloat, keep them all out of trouble, especially since they lost their parents due to the Civil War and everything like that, so they're really cautious and just trying to get by without causing much attention to themselves. Our other main character was born and raised in Texas, but his mother is from Spain, and he enters in this photography competition and goes to Spain to try and capture the real Spain for this photography competition. It is a romantic historical fiction, but it is definitely also very interesting take with what's going on in this, and it's really just sweet, and yeah, I just think with the warm temperatures of Spain, I believe this also happens in the summer in Spain, so if you like historical fiction and haven't read this one, or if you like Ruta Sepetis, and you haven't read this one, I would recommend picking it up this summer. It was definitely a page turner for me, even though it's fairly sizable. Next, let's get into the author recommendations. So I have two authors where I think reading pretty much any of their books is good during the summer for different reasons. So the first one is fairly obvious. That's Anything by Emily Henry. I'm holding a beach read because beach read is probably still my favorite of Emily Henry's so far. I mean, I've really enjoyed everything she has put out, and they're definitely all perfect summer reads. They're all taking place during summer, during warm weather, during vacation, things like that. So they're all definitely great summer books. I just am partial to beach read specifically. And then Emily Henry does have a new book coming out, Happy Places, or that just came out. So if you are caught up with Emily Henry, make sure you've read that one as well. But if you are looking for a good beach or summer read, Anything by this author will get you there. Otherwise, Anything by Trisha Levenseller. I think is another amazing summer read author. So Trisha Levenseller writes a lot of fantasy. She has one like dark fantasy romance, but I don't quite know what it is. I've loved all of Trisha Levenseller's books, like Daughter of the Pirate King, perfect summer romance because it's pirates. This one was very summery to me because of the warm like foresty weather that they were in. And her other duology had a lot of warm aspects to it. So I just think yeah, there's there are different elements in every single one of her books that make them like good summer fantasies. Now the contemporary recommendations I have, I have two very different contemporary recommendations. The first one is The Summer Job by Lucy Dent. Summer is literally in the title of this one. You have your main character whose friend was offered this amazing job in Scotland as a wine, fancy wine person at this inn. And her friend turns it down to run away to Italy with some guy. So our down on her luck main character decides that she will go in her place. She really doesn't know that much about wine. So you know, chaos and zoos, summer happens, summer romance, summer wine tastings. It's great. I very much enjoyed this one. The other one is quite different and I don't think it's really classified as contemporary. It's just kind of literature. And that is The Bandit Queens by Barini Shroff. And this takes place in India. And basically our main character is part of this group of women who are trying to start their own businesses and they have kind of been given this loan to do so. Except our main character, her husband disappeared. Don't know where he is. Doesn't care to know where he is. She is just fine on her own. Thank you very much. But when one of the other ladies in this group comes up to her and asks her to do to her husband what our main character did to hers. Our main character is like, oh, hold up. No, I didn't do anything. I didn't do that. But I can help. It's very mischievous, kind of secretive. And I just had a blast with this one. It's just a fun standalone that I think is just a fun one to read. Now let's get into some of the fantasy books that I think would be great to pick up during the summer if you haven't picked them up already. So first would be Spice Road by Maya Ibrahim. So this is like a desert vibe fantasy. It has some Middle East aspects in it, which were really fun. And with the hot climate in the book and the drinking of hot tea is very traditional to do in a lot of places because it helps you feel cool when you kind of sweat yourself from the heat of the tea as well as the heat of outside. Makes sense. So really any desert vibe book I think is great to pick up during the summer. So if you're looking for a new one, you haven't picked this one up yet, definitely do so. Now traveling back to South Asia, another good one to pick up would be Monsters Born and Made. And this is by Tanvi Berwa. And this is a South Asian inspired fantasy and it reads very Hunger Game-esque. Our main character has a younger sister who is sick and her family cannot afford the medicine they need for her younger sister. However, their family business is raising these creatures that are used in this like tournament competition thing that happens in the upper class for the elite and etc and so forth. So our main character decides that she is going to enter in this race and she is going to win it so that she can help her younger sister. The reason this is so summary to me, other than it being like a standalone, is the fact that the creatures that they hunt forward to breed and raise for this race are water creatures as well as land creatures. So you know you kind of have some like island vibes a little bit here. I think this would be another good standalone island fantasy to pick up. And finally I would recommend This Vicious Grace and this is by Emily Feed. The second book will be coming out later this year, but this I think just looking at the cover gives me summer vibes with the plant and the fruit and everything but also it's very it's a very Italian fantasy. It kind of takes place in a not Italy but basically Italy kind of fantasy world-ish and just with the warm culture and the heat of the environment and the friendliness it seems very summary to me. Our main character basically can't be touched or she can't touch anyone because she will most likely kill them. However she is supposed to find the one person that she can touch because by doing so she can amplify their power and that's important because every once in a while there are these like demon creatures that come and try and wipe out all of humanity and so they need her and whoever she can amplify their power to defend them.  Now on to the last genre for this video romance. I've got two romance recommendations here one that is perfect for summer and one that I think would be good to read during summer as well. So the one that I think is perfect for summer is of course My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey so this is like a very smutty little romance novella and it's I mean your own summer vacation how is that not perfect? Our main character who is a young teacher she teaches like third graders or something goes on vacation with her brother in Cape Cod but finds a dead body in their Airbnb and so someone calls a bounty hunter to come and figure out who did this why etc and so forth and so this is very much grumpy sunshine summer romance and I loved it I thought it was amazing so if that's your vibe and then the final book is the first part in a like romance companion trilogy that I'm working my way through so that is The Fine Prince by Lauren Aksher. Now the reason that this seems like a summary romance to me is because our main characters are both working for this company one is the air as part as a partial air of the company and the other just like works for the company she's very creative and the company is like Disney-esque or it's this huge company that has like a theme park and it has media film like it's this huge multimedia company and in this book we're really focusing on the theme park aspect of it of like designing rides and coming up with new characters and parades and things like that to host for people who are going there kind of over the summer. I feel like summer is like the best time and really the most when people go to theme parks like Disneyland, Disney World, or Six Flags, or Michigan's Adventure, Cedar Point, you know, things like that and so warm weather for that it brings back a lot of nostalgic memories and so this is just a very smelly romance of that so the book itself is very very romance focused but I think it's a good summer romance and then you've got two more books to read with it so those are all of my recommendations thank you all very much for watching if you liked this video feel free to give it a thumbs up comment down below if you have any recommendations for me or if you have any like summer vibe books that you are wanting to get to I also have bookish social media links down below so you can follow me and some of more of my bookish adventures there make sure you subscribe because I am posting one video a month over the course of summer and hit the bell to be notified when that video goes up until I see you all in the next video I wish you happy reading


coming to you from San Jose California it's the queue here is your host John furrier the co-founder former CEO now CTO of primary data David Flynn great to see you thanks John thanks for having me on so we've known each other for a while going back to Fusion IO and I was just saying to Jeff Frick on our analysis that you know Fusion IO became big because like like a lightning in a bottle moment did you realize it's gonna be that big and now that that's moved on you that's sold and you had a new startup it's primary data and if you're scratching or what's the how does this all connect help the folks understand how you got here it's very related see we we recognize that flash was going to transform how data gets distributed in the data center that you would no longer keep it centralized in a silo that's like trying to drive your race car in downtown Manhattan you're not gonna get anywhere very fast so you have to put it out on the open road that means distributing it but that creates the problem that now you're having to manage data that's physically distributed and the way to solve that is by virtualizing it so that it can look logically unified so this is the real deal the the advent of flash on the one hand and cloud on the capacity side have both ripped apart the traditional storage silo model it's where you have to do something to manage data across all of it and that's what data virtualization does market in recent talks about this 10x engineer model which is the devops concept where in the cloud you can have rapid scale very quickly yeah so that's kind of what you're saying but now talk about what that means for the enterprise you could be up and running very fast so what is this web scale large-scale opportunity and what's the bottleneck is it storage is the virtualization and what are you guys doing to solve that you know I think the biggest bottleneck comes to people and how much leverage they get when you separate the logical layer of data from the physical and make it so you can manage data without boundaries of silos you're not manually copying that you get a huge amount of leverage to these things see it's kind of like when you try to manage data via the storage container you actually make the problem worse think about it you can't actually move anything when you make a copy of it you have yet another piece of data that's because data is trapped inside of the container where you make it so I gotta ask you the tough question is this unfinished business you have with fusion I out because you had very large success with that company it was a car it was flash yeah that was really the beginning of the flash revolution yeah and you know that point public and being the public company as you can probably attest to is challenging is this the next level of fusion is it the next is it your scratching what's the connection there or what why primary data right now well fusion IO I'm a software guy and fusion IO was a means to an end it was to show that you would be better distributing the data because you get higher performance that was all to create the problem that primary data is addressing the need to logically unify the data to virtualize the day so I had no idea that we would be so successful tapping into large customers like like Facebook Apple and others that already use the distributed data model this makes that distributed data model viable for the traditional enterprise by virtualizing it and making it look unified so if I hear you correctly you're basically saying that okay the big guys built their own Facebook Apple these guys at the application layer and now the main IT guys want that same functionality we need to do it in the in the storage layer by separating the data from the physical hardware so doesn't this make storage kind of just unboxed it data without boundaries that's what it does it's all about the data we're doing for data what VMware did on the compute freeing it from the confines of the physical server that runs it we're freeing data from the confines of the physical storage that holds it you know Dave along then I was just at the Amazon re-invent and we were talking about like HP server business and no one talks about servers anymore virtualizations kind of it's not a brand name anymore it's about bigger conversion structure what's the equivalent analog for your business is it storage no one's going to care about storage storage people want to manage data they don't have to manage the storage we're making it possible so they can manage the data and the storage can be run by by other people but you can't do that when the two are coupled even worse you can't manage the application independent of the storage if you need to turn off the storage system you have to turn off the application that's not the case with our technology the application still running while the data migrates to different stories so I ask you another tough question is this help or hurt conversion infrastructure this helps absolutely because it allows data to move fluidly it can even move into the servers themselves so you can run a system where there is no shared storage but just storage in the servers themselves virtualized data means hyperconverged so basically what VM where did for servers you're doing for data that's exactly right that's alright so take that forward so the server guys are kind of hurting right now because converged infrastructure is winning the dang software to find data center mark entries and says offer software in the world is the holdout because it's still the logicals coupled with the physical so are the EMC's in the net up in those guys in the pure stores those guys gonna be kind of like they're already under pressure right because we're already moving from the mainframe model to the distributed client server model that's cloud is forcing that flash is forcing that already but it's creating a management nightmare because how do you how do you incorporate cloud storage into your enterprise brand new protocol to separate island okay so I guess another pushback on that a little bit and say what's the mega trend so I buy that that's that's your pitch that's your that's I get that what's the mega trend that supports that what mega trend supports that thesis the thesis that the storage kind of like it's not as important as the data virtualization well what's more important the virtual server the physical server now obviously virtualization is winning right don't go away that's right the same thing happens here as soon as you elevate the data to be logically independent of the physical layer you still have the physical layer but it's able to become commoditized higher efficiency easier managed interchangeable so I want to throw a while we got you here because industry con industry trends are perimeters security so and workloads that are mobile infrastructure enabled so what does that mean to you relatively your opportunity well all of that to me is is talking about driving vast quantities of data that needs to be low latency no jitter low latency no jitter exactly you know that the real backdrop to all of this is that data is growing so fast and it needs to be accessed very fast and so how do you manage that so no one really loses those guys sell more gear and you guys enable more frictionless data sharing amongst the app that's a great way to say it exactly okay any other personal comments you can share how do you feel entrepreneur again great heavy lift a little bit easier to have the team back together with Lance and Rick and was awesome man and the cube of course we really and the queue we're back to the common common man now the entrepreneur not the big public company I guess candidly I have to say it's nice not having to go quarter to quarter and David Flynn here I'm on the ground this is John Furrier we're here at their launch party we're literally things are launching in the air bodies people motorcycles with our good friend David played entrepreneur awesome opportunity congratulations we are live in San Francisco here Silicon Valley on the ground with David Flynn we'll be right back
