Good afternoon. My name is Gregory McCooch and I'm the Defense Intelligence Agency, agency's representative here at the Naval War College. I have the privilege of introducing our guest speaker today. Lieutenant General Glavey serves as the deputy commandant for information for the United States Marine Corps. He serves as the commander for Marine Force's strategic command. And just in case, you know, those two jobs weren't time consuming enough for him. He also serves as the director of Marine Corps intelligence. And in those three capacities, General Glavey is responsible for how the Marine Corps uses information, intelligence and cyber in pursuit of tactical operational strategic objectives for the Marine Corps in steady state crisis contingency and conflicts around the world. Today, Lieutenant General Glavey is going to talk about information as a war fighting function. Without further ado, General Glavey. Thank you, sir. All right. So I guess the one thing I really want to get right before I dive into my comments is thank you. Thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for continuing to serve. Obviously, you're very successful in what you do and to get you to this point in life, which means you have plenty of opportunities. The fact that you're here studying bigger, stronger, better, faster back to the fleet, back to the operating forces and critical planning bill. It just says a lot about you. So if I don't do anything right in my precious time with you is really to thank you. This slide, I use variations of this slide, but if I could tell you a quality that's so required today at probably any rank, but certainly at a leadership rank, it's this idea of change. I know that sounds very simplistic, but change in execution is perhaps one of the hardest things one could possibly do. I've had a little bit of advantage here. On my best day, I'm a fleet average helicopter pilot spent most of my adult life in aviation and found myself in this world spending six of the last eight years of it smack dab in the middle of this weather up at Fort Mead for five years are now down here in the Pentagon. I've had no other course of action except this one, right or die or get run over, get thrown out of the out of the building. So this idea of change, though, the key ingredients certainly looking in the mirror is this idea of humility. Right. If we don't walk into the place with this sense of humility about ourselves, we're going to screw this up. Yeah. And I think as I see in the building now, I think this is really starting to happen. And I put this JP one up there. I know I don't know if you're, you know, I've done four tours in the Pentagon. So this idea of joint doctrine being part of a slide may make you cringe. This is really, if you haven't read it is really well done. And this chapter specifically, I think really gets at the nuance of where we find ourselves and really ultimately where you find yourselves, especially if you end up in in planning builds, bullets change is not for the faint of heart. It is not. And there are so many positive things about, you know, the reluctance to change. Of course, you know, as an aviator, we say that change is the mother of all risk. Some author once said if you do something 10,000 times, you're really going to be good at it. In aviation, this idea of change from changing flight schedules to changing ordinance loadouts to schedule times and cruise all have to have approval processes. Right. That just doesn't happen. Hey, you do you want to go flying? Do you want to go flying? Right. It doesn't happen. So, so again, there's a lot of risk there. Right. There's a lot of risk. Right. People get hurt. We break things. Again, obviously a category in of itself, but, but this, this is different. Right. We have to, you know, as part of our DNA, understand the change we find ourselves in. And I'm just reporting back from the Pentagon, like we have no choice, the depth set death, like she's a force of one, making this happen, good or bad. And I think the Marine Corps because of force design has set us on a path that makes us a little more adaptable, consumable, though sometimes I wonder. All right, here we go. We've been here before, you know, you're in a elite institution studying things like this, but the Marine Corps and the joint force have found ourselves in awkward places in history. And this just happens to be a Marine Corps example, but a very powerful one. I've had in both of my tours as Lieutenant Colonel Colonel command have General Dunford talk, right. If you haven't just as I'm stealing his stuff right now, but, but he talks about this as old man was part of this, this fire brigade that goes off and fights in Korea.  Marine Corps goes from over 400,000 down to about 30,000 Marines, right. North Koreans come over 30 parallel roll the whole peninsula up all the way down to the small city of Pusan. What's left is the Pusan perimeter and enter this Marine provisional brigade right soon to be called the fire brigade. This is not a hodge podge right this is our best and brightest these are World War two vets. The leadership is top notch. This is the tenderloin of the Marine Corps so Farron Bach, in his very kind words, certainly provides a characterization of what you would expect as Marines, most of you, right to honor courage and commitment to discipline the focus, the persistence. But at the end of the day, all that matters really matters and you know that. But, but they don't show up with plastic knives and forks to a gunfight they show up with advantages, very thoughtful innovative disruptive advantages. And of course in the middle is that crazy thing called a helicopter, we're taking them literally out of the other wrappings from Sikorsky, right literally the elder who's building them himself, and we put it right into the fight. And ultimately this thing becomes the fire brigade is because this idea of reconnaissance from three to 5,000 feet is, is mind numbing right the ability to actually see the adversary, understand the adversary and ways never done before. Right, we are able to kind of do this fire brigade thing, because we have ability to execute reconnaissance and truly understand where the adversary is going to be and what they're going to do. Of course on the left there, there's nothing fancy about an escort carrier full of f for us that are, you know, the pride of World War two and the island hopping campaign. At this point in our history the Marine Corps doing close air support, and really get in the art of combined arms going. And that's what we're doing, we're spending a lot of time on that. So that chocker block full of airplanes becomes this idea of combined arms close air support, and ultimately the start of the mag tap. Right, so, so there's a lot going on there's a lot of disruption and innovation going on that gives this this this force, to the world to the physical is three is the one advantages real asymmetric advantages. Ultimately, this super bazooka the 3.5 inch rocket propeller grenade is is is changes the whole face of the battle, the Russian T 34 tanks at this point in time are unstoppable right, the 2.37 inch bouncing off. Of course, 3.5 inch goes through and everything suddenly changes and certainly Baron Bach is right about what he said about those Marines or any part of the joint force and I'm, you know, I'm procule using Marines as an example. But the end of the day, right, they show up with an advantage and advantage, certainly with a technology piece to it, but people making it happen. What's our advantage. You know, here we are 2024. Right, we are in the middle of this change per JP one. I think the leaders that are going to lead in the future probably understand it better than the people have provided the technology and capabilities that we need to bring to bear. It's, it's, it will all change and change rapidly. As we look at different initiatives being done by Office of Secretary of Defense, but but ultimately, right, it's, it's going to be here. It's got to be here this is going to be whoever can win this fight is going to have the advantage, ultimately, and certainly everything that we do as Marines parochial Lee at range 400. Locate and close with the destroy through fire maneuver is all part of it don't underestimate it. But at the end of the day, back to that asymmetric advantage of how we show up to fight what it's going to be. We got to do this, and we got to do it well, and we got to do it fast and we got to do it in ways that we're not understanding of today. We got to make sure the leaders of tomorrow truly understand the power of this but this is the future. And of course, this idea of information is is being set to another scale, which has to be worrisome. Right on the left there classic you know spent five years up it's it's your cyber command. Love to tell you about colonial pipeline sometime and in an appropriate classification and all the great job that our Marines did in the middle of that. But at the end of the day almost predictable what's on the left, right, classic, right what what we would come up with as we do course of action development. But, but, but what's happening on the right is probably even more worrisome, right, that that gets into soaks into our, our culture and our civilization we got to be very concerned about it. We can't talk about data without talking about space. Maybe one of the things I am most proud of it, my for cyber when I commanded it is the common on asked me to stand up my for space, and then we commanded it out of for me. And there was a lot of pushback why, why is the record, why is record doing space, you know why, why is this, but I'm just telling you I'm here to tell you, no space, no chance. So I haven't spent my adult life in aviation. And everybody understands how the JFAC works in the chaos and, and, you know, the first thing that happens any old plan right we got to get air, air superiority we got to gain an event advantage in the air domain, because so much else was relies on it. Well, this is the ultimate high ground. No space no chance don't don't bother don't don't don't bother. This is critical as we move forward more and more space the ultimate high ground space Inventesimal where does it, where does it start where does it end. Right 2.99 times 10 to the eight meters per second is our limb fact in space. Right now we're going to take advantage of that really is thought provoking. And, you know now I'm a data guy now I'm a cyber guy now I'm a network and I'm an Intel guy now. I'm doing all that in the battle space so think totally different on how we're going to use space and how important it is to be the best possible partners that you can, and be the best customer the best user the best, the best operator and how space is actually going to say it's fragile, maybe certainly like that that helicopter that I showed you earlier, or when Mitchell went out and bomb the USS Osprey lands and sank it in 19 for right fragile yeah perhaps a man daily that shit's changing right daily. We'll talk about this in a little bit but the Russians perhaps the best EW capable nation, certainly pre Ukraine and they're having hell of a time here, hell of a time. Of course, really proud of this we put this together but John Glenn's third orbiter and friendship seven is this picture a Polaroid that he took from the capsule of sunrise, and believe it or not, it's over the South China Sea. So, when we made our smart for space and when we captured all that good marine that he that he was no space, no chance. But I'm telling you, it's very much how we're proceeding and there's obviously a whole microprocessor technology aspect to this, and it don't stop right. We all thought Moore's law was going to end 2020 2021 but but our ability to execute the the the etching of these chips is only increased and improved. The hockey stick inflection point is right around where this crazy nutty thing called the cloud was it started out as a buzzword, similar to AI and ML they're, they're all buzzwords, until you bring it to practical application and drive outcomes. Right and that's exactly as we mass data, right in a cloud environment, right we can mass storage we can mass computation and we can do things at scale that you can't do in other places. I know it's basic logic but but until you unwrap that and understand how all the rest of your networks got to work and where your data really matters. If you're going to be a data centric organization understanding the power of the cloud and the ability to mass right moose must really important. So, so where does this all collide. I'm in a great schoolhouse so I might as well go here I was tempted to remove this slide but he will not risk cannot win. Right, so the guy on the left is infatuated with the guy on the right, right and this idea of commandership and why Napoleon was so successful is this idea of you know fingertip feel. He knew the battle space he he could sense it and he had that sixth sense obviously had a hell of a lot of experience. So, and so all internalized, you know, amazing mind certainly end of the day fails fails miserably, one might add. And, and so as we have this discussion on data centricity. We're bringing something else into the fight something that has to have, perhaps a little more of a role than it traditionally has. I made plenty of poor decisions, you know wasn't in the room. I've made plenty of poor decisions and I was in the room, but but certainly as a nation on why or why not we should do something. And I'm always just to share with you in, you know, in the three star four star discussions in the. Okay, where's all our facts. We're going to go to the common with decision, make sure we got all the data right and make sure, you know that we have a sound discussion because where we're going to go. That's just like Napoleon we go with our gut. And that's what we do. Go with our gut. We love it our experience, especially people my age. We frame that experience and we frame it and we put it on something. And sometimes it's beautiful. It's a great match and you're, you're amazing you're a hero, and sometimes not so much. We, we can't risk that that. I'm not taking away anything of what clouds, it's talked about in the power of that sixth sense of understanding the battle, not for a second, the more experienced, the more better, right. But things are changing so fast that one has to make sure they don't show up with gaps back to those advantages. And how do you do that. You know, right now it's, it's making sure that we truly gain ultimate, ultimate decision advantage. That's what it ultimately comes down to. I've been watching the 18th Airborne Corps very closely, I think as Marines, most of you in this room, you'd understand 18th Airborne got it going on, you know, got it going on. They're concerned about two things, command and control.  I've been there, been to the bowling alley and these bottom where they executed task force drag in where they went from executing a Neo mission upon arrival to executing a maintenance and training mission for 155 and high Mars to executing a third party reception of all coalition equipment to actually do a full blown targeting cycle. Right. Same staff, all data centric. They, they, they're enamored by it from General Corella, obviously the sent com commander to General, General Donnie you right. That's their thing. As we worry about force offerings for contingencies and crisis around the world. They're doing AI enabled course of action development. You can write that down, maybe a little, little bit of, you know, I, you know, back to the comment on with that but but so so important, right, got to give them credit and I'm watching them, and we're fast followers. We've been taught this lesson before how to operate in the information environment how to use the cyber domain, how to use information as a war fighting function has been taught to us in the past. I was at US cyber command, when all this went down, you talk about being flat footed, looking in the mirror, you know, not ready for this not ready for out of the northern Iraqi desert comes this rag tag group and up gun Toyota trucks pick up trucks with Android six and hotspots and V sat and some graphics capabilities and through the information environment and using information as a war fighting function. They proceed to take over two countries. They argue, have a good discussion on that intellectual discussion, but watching it up close and personal, man. This was not Zarkawi, right, song off heads, you know, excuse the visual, right. This, this was theater, right, that really powerful messaging. This was deep cognitive they go from 10s of followers to hundreds to 1000s to 10 to 1000s to 100 to 1000s to millions of followers, people buying it, buying it. I was saying right dark side of the force, but but we've been taught this. And of course the far left corner was very real when you know they're coming for Baghdad. And this was not this was awkward, very awkward, but they controlled they control the cyber domain, specifically freedom of maneuver. And they're they're able to use information in ways, perhaps our lack of image and imagination didn't allow us to of course it all changes. In October 2015, Paris turns into a video game 130 people dead on the streets. Finally, finally, finally, hey, y'all, we got to do some. And I was, I was there of course out of my league per se with Admiral Gilday, CNO Gilday, one of my dear friends and go anywhere with him. And then he is there, General Hawk shows up a little bit later but but some of these heroes in the cyber domain, beginning to rally around cybercom putting some of this together. And so we create joint task force areas, if you're familiar with it, and General Acasoni is really the first commander of JTF areas but it was cybercom's response to the joint force and how we're going to get after this. How are we going to disrupt, and that was a key word, their ability to move maneuver in the cyber domain we had to stop it, like we had to stop the theater we had to stop the Cecil B DeMille quality that they were bringing to bear. I mean this was not this this was high end stuff this was varsity stuff. And so JTF areas comes on the scene and, you know, get some runtime going and improves to be successful from a metrics standpoint on their ability again back to disrupt what the adversary was doing. And, and to this day, you know, still on it, JTF areas is pivoted from, and this is how important this capability was from from counter terrorism, integrate power competition. I arrived back after my little two year vacation as a commanding general second Marine aircraft wing, love and life back into a very comfortable environment that I know and love. On a March afternoon, raining outside of a church in Camp Lejeune, General Miller tells me I'm going back to Fort Mead. I arrived, and, and Joe Nakasone is now commander cyber command, and he gives the Marine Corps this mission rings were at the center of it. They had the best terrain per se. But then we had it. He gave it from a C to standpoint. So what he did next for me. He says skirt the first thing first mission I'm going to give you is I want to totally declassify what JTF areas did. And I want you to sit down on national public radio, do a podcast and full interview for publication. This is TSS CI you can only imagine an essay and everybody else was doing, but we did. We totally released this so back to this information environment and how one operates in there. Nakasone is obviously an expert at this and he is brilliant. But this highly classified, classified mission, right becomes unclassified. And now we tell the world that we're at it, good or bad, you know, it's not going to not going to solve world hunger, but now you're engaged you're in the fight. Really powerful. Of course, our adversaries are great at this right. The Russians got help us all built on a lie. Soviet Union, right, no one, no one does it better. No one understands this include the cyber piece of it as well. They're really, really good. They're this good. Right. Very members when Crimea happened. Just a freak freak of luck, you know, no, no, it's really well thought out. Again, never underestimate your adversary will do that. We always find ourselves in such awkward places. But all this stuff on top is happening right State Department man. Why why you know someone's crashing into their networks right and they terrible like a volleyball match. The Pentagon 14 days. Now we'll shut down 14 days as you a cyber command for that. And of course, the White House right. Why, why, why, you know what would the Russians be so interested in the senior level decision making organizations. You know, if you were a force, right, if you were an intel officer and your commander said hey, go provide me the intentions of the adversary, you would figure something out but I bet you go to these three places. And Crimea, good bad dark side of the force, wildly successful. And we make fun of it little green man you know I remember all that right wildly successful. Information environment, winning as a war fighting function, making it happen.  You know, I will tell you his mind is more from a me so information cognitive approach on how he looks at things even though he's the durnsa and you a cyber command, you think you want to brick every server and etc exploit every one of them but but it's a moment at the end of the day. And this idea of taking the most exquisite Intel tssci the highest crazy level, right, and totally declassified from public release on newspapers all across the world. Bold stroke, disrupt degrade, you know, didn't, you know, it certainly changed the course, the course of history probably changed, certainly the course of events, and you know successor failure however this turns out. Right, but again, operating in this environment right this information, we're fighting function environment that I will tell you Paul knock us only really created and made it art and science. But, you know, not for the faint of heart, right, you can imagine, having, you know, even as the director of NSA, having this discussion about declassified and stuff like that. But you do that's not our norm right that's not how this works, very disruptive, very, very disruptive. Of course the Chinese similar path, similar path, you know, they have, you know, theoretically if there's four industrial revolutions right, they're not missing this one. They're all over this.  Of course, a lot of practice, a lot of practice when you got 1.3 billion people and they're your first priority and understanding their intentions. Right, you get to be masters in the digital, the digital environment and of course they have done that and then some. So there's, there's certainly, as we look at Taiwan and we look at the play of things. There's certainly a Wilsonian piece to this right liberal democracy in Asia bastion of hope and all that good stuff feel good stuff who are. And there's this idea that 63% of microprocessors in the world right made in Taiwan, like that's real politic and, and 90% of all the high end chips are made there. And even though all the intellectual property may not be developed in Taiwan stuff is made in Taiwan import. Again, whether we're having a Wilsonian discussion or real politic discussion. Taiwan really, really important. And certainly things have to be balanced globally in order to do that. Very interesting thing here is we look at some of the other actions taking place. But believe it or not, the best etching and architecture of these chips lithography as it's referred to is is done by a Dutch company. A Dutch company bought an American company blah blah blah global economy. And next thing you know, for the past 20 years. ASML has been producing what's what's called extreme ultraviolet lithograph, like over 20 years of RDT&E, bringing to bear time now. Amazing, amazing capability. You know, 15x over the average norm microprocessor. This is Moore's law, continuing. Very important. So what are you going to do about it? Right. The Chinese obviously need a piece of the action right they want to keep keep pace with all this. That's going to be a problem. So a lot of the embargo and the barriers and that have been placed, right are part of this and the Dutch are kind of in the middle of it.  Right, that's where technology is taking us. And this is an ultimate advantage when we cannot give up certainly not easily. Alright, so Marine Corps is hot on this information thing. General Neller really started it. I'll be honest with you. He comes in and does his thing as a 37th commandant. He establishes and we'll talk about some of the timeline, but he establishes information as a war fighting function. So general Neller started this off. So general Dunford starts it off from the chairmanship makes it a joint function, right information as a joint function, of course with the secretary just happens to be a couple of Marines I'm sorry there. But, but, and it leads to what the joint world is going to do so the Marine Corps boom hops right on that. General Neller, general Berger, big time. And, and of course, generally Smith, and, and general Berger, right so I walk in with general Berger as the as the commandant very interested in this stuff very, very interested. And so he wants MCD P8 written, and he is a very proactive pen in MCD P8. As, as we were beginning to have this discussion. Okay, let's take, take a step back from all the lexicon wars and really have a discussion on, on information, right. Like, like, we're at the, at a company or at a platoon, or even a battalion level. What are we talking about. Let's, let's be very careful, step out of, you know, operations in the information environment step back from a lot of the lexicon that's being laid. And let's just have a foundational discussion. And so that's what MCD P8 is. It's just this foundational discussion about what we're trying to do. It's a starting point. We're already looking at rewrite.  We're not going to rest on our laurels. But, but, but the bottom line I'm telling you this. This is top down. Right. And even in all the briefings with him. He always wanted to understand whatever crisis we're in, but, but really understand it from, from an information standpoint. What's the purpose what's the reason why is X visiting why what all these things and the messages that they provide in the cognitive impact that they have, but, but very, very powerful. So like everything else, we have a timeline of change. You see where all the MIGs are created again. That's all general Nellers work. The MEP information group is our starting point. Like anything else, got a task organized right person got task organized.  Right. Really what it's all about in order to have a purpose method end state. There was so many things that a MEP staff may be done. You know, signals intelligence. Right. Very highly classified, really never any C2 to that gets complicated because of our relationship with the NSA, but, but, but there's no mechanism to see to per se and yet we're doing a lot of it. We need a C2 mission. And as you look at all the requirements for any type of mission like that placement access really matters. We'll talk about that. But, but what's the 0211 CI human requirements? What's all the calm requirements? What's all the data requirements as we start looking at this from an information standpoint gets complicated in the past we need care. You know, sometimes they would we do with the data. We're not so sure what we do with the data. Right. So, so this matters. Right. If we're going to understand the adversary, if we're going to understand what, what algorithms and machine learning is going to do, like all that data really, really matters. And you got to have a process to do all that. So, so the MIGs create that C2 node in order to do all that. And then you see the rest. So the MIG is up there. The joint pub. I just referenced on the way out. And then we're, we're in the final piece is going to sign it here in a couple of weeks. 8-10. So we went from this MCDP doctrinal discussion into practical application. We'll talk a little bit about what that means. But, but 8-10 is, you know, for the MEP staff for the regimental staff division staff, right to be able to say, okay, how am I going to do this. And there's, again, early in the process, but we're taking a lot of joint processes and now laying it. And just like I gave you an example about data collection in an Intel mission per se as signals intelligence that applies across the board. TPS8, right. It's a, it's a, it's a generate, it's a data generating machine. Right. There's a lot there to include what the adversary wants to see from that. This is oversimplifying it, but I'm going to go there anyway. But, but we had to start somewhere. So we basically started with, with four functions from an information standpoint. Obviously, we generate it. We preserve it. We project it. And we deny the adversary from doing all the above. Right. We just, just at the essence of it. There's a lot more to it than that. But, but, but just at the essence of where we want to go because you got to start somewhere. And, and looking at this now in 8-10 on how we're going to do that from a practical application standpoint. That's where we started. And explanations on each and why and where. And I, you know, I take briefs. Again, back to that singing discussion as the director of Intel, all that has to pass through us. Right. And, and all these questions right are part of those briefs as you, as you can imagine. And now we end up with a lot of convergence across the MIGs and other places actually to get after that. And why there's got to be a why there's got to be some value proposition. And, and these are the three, there's a three with the common on the Marine Corps, right, that we decided there's probably 103, but it's got to be three. And so we made it systems overmatch. We got to win the ones and zeros fight. Right. Got to win it. You got to win the ones and zeros fight. Right. There's back to that advantage. You need to do that. Prevailing narrative goes without saying, right, we got to be on good ground. We got to be on good ground, or, or we're going to be in a terrible place. And, and when we're not on that good ground, we tend right to have challenges. And then lastly, this was a big one and probably the most discussed one is this idea of resiliency. How do you take a punch? I mean, we don't really talk about that and most war fighting aspects. But this gets after in this environment, right, you're, you're going to, you're going to take a punch. Right. This information misinformation, bad news. Right.  How do you create the resiliency of your force in order to withstand that. I will tell you as a as a wing commanding journal crash and airplane. Oh my gosh. Right. It's like dragging a manhole come and, and certainly the tragedy of it all. Right. Is hard enough. But now it's all the information that goes along with it. Just very trying. So resiliency in a plan for matters. So we, we took that. And we just have a demonstration here and, you know, the, the, there's no accuracy in our, in our size of our squares, but, but I think it demonstrates what we're trying to do and where we're trying to go. I think this idea of Ukraine and Russia classic case, if one were to look at order of battle. Right. You give it all to the Russians. No doubt. Then, right, there's these other asymmetric things that come into the fight. And certainly the Starling piece, this idea of prolific low earth orbit capabilities and having C2 when and where you need it, and not being able to disrupt it. There's really something there there certainly provided an advantage and didn't come out on the slide but that should be a shaded block up there that, you know, exceeds the Russian military strength. So, so this idea of what Starlink does provides that systems overmatch. Of course the narrative you've seen this in action. Obviously, the president's pretty good at this right.  He knows how to deliver and he does it and does it extremely well. And certainly, you know, there's things that that the coalition and other partners provide that help that, but, but no doubt, good. And then ultimately the resiliency required as well. Not for the faint of heart everything that's going on over there, but but just an illustration the demonstration of what what that could be. So eight dash eight dash 10 now gets into how we go practical application. How are we going to go from the theoretical cognitive big examples now into something a staff can put their arms around. So we go right to the joint force and go right to the models that are used today from a staff planning standpoint and try bring information into this discussion for the Marine Corps. Fortunately, there's a commander responsible for that. And that's the big commander, the MEP information group commander. So it's easy now for the MEP commander to bring this into his battle rhythm. Right. In order to execute to have a more wholesome discussion, this course of action development, whatever it may be, but someone accountable responsible to account for this. So we've created this information tasking order coordination order. I lived up it for me, you know, we did the cyber tasking order and our world revolved around as an aviator. I did the air task order my world revolved around it, good or bad or indifferent these orders, right. They synergize and create momentum and create tempo in an organization if you do it right. Right. If you do it right, you get good at it. Obviously there's a lot of my imagination required. No two days are the same. But nonetheless, right, you start driving outcomes. The so what becomes all right becomes it becomes fairly obvious and apparent, at least apparent, it may not be obvious, but pretty simple. But right, this is how we're pushing it in from a planning standpoint in order to get this momentum, even to be told, not quite right. So three math like often running. So there are there are test case and all this and how they're doing it, specifically the MiG but certainly with a math commander and a Marfor commander Marfor pack very much into this as well. General journey has always been a huge advocate and uses is used his MiG as about as good as I've seen. So again, nothing fancy here. And then how does it fit from from a doctrinal standpoint. And believe it or not, as we've been writing this doctrine and writing these reference publications and war fighting publications. The joint staff has been like, like, with us, very interested in how we're doing this again, not solving world hunger, you know, we're not fixing global warming. But but we got to get after this right, got to get after this we got to gain some momentum even to deviate from dammit, right but we got to go there, or what the hell just happened. We can't can't go through that again. So really, infant stages, small steps, lots of writing, lots of practical application, lots of feedback, what's next, what's next, what's next to what we're trying to do to really get this kind of mainstream, because ultimately, and you know, force design, force design is a thing it is our driving force so don't let anybody tell you otherwise there is, there is no lack of momentum we are on the cusp actually delivering things that were discussed in the last episode, right things that general burger said we're going to deliver deliver and really making a difference, really making a difference. But this idea of force design, you know, not not backing away from it at all. I wrote this article with General Schutler, General Schutler is a 95 year old Marine was in Korea. He's a F for pilot. He brought in the EA six B to the Marine Corps, he brought in the TPS 59 long range radar into the Marine Corps, he made the Marine Air command and control system something he made aviation maintenance a big thing, a big deal in order to make sure that the readiness are calling card neat guy 95 years old, and he calls me. I had him speak at second mall one time so I've known him a while now he says skirt I have been trying to get this article published you know 10 years now 12 probably longer, and can you help. Yeah, let's have lunch. So this 95 year old man walks all the way up from the visitor center all the way up to my office, all the way down to the second half mess, and we get there around 1130. And they're throwing us out at two o'clock. Right. He's brought all his books. He's brought all is his research, you guys would love it all the professors. He's a student of the game 95 years old. I said we're going to write a damn article, we're going to write it down, even if you've got a poll few strings, we're doing it, but but but what a neat guy, and he's, he's thoughtful he says you know, you guys are telling your story all wrong. This is a continuation of Halsey and Vandergraf right. They set the stage for all this you can just imagine him talking and, you know, I'm just taking it all in like you know kidding, kidding candy store and just so odd by this Marine and what he stands for, always disruptive. The abilities are off the beaten path, the A6B and, and even TPS rated and things we, you know, have really met the most to the joint force. The end of the day, as a wing CG and the guy's sundowning all those A6Bs, right, really meant a lot to the joint force that airplane and what it did. Yeah, could talk a long time about him. But this idea of designing a force with a, with a fighting foot ashore was was brilliant. You know, as, as we came up from the Solomon Islands to the Gilberts to the Marianas, Philippines, Iwo Jima into Okinawa, right. All that combined arm stuff that we were beginning to understand and truly do it from a naval standpoint fits perfectly to what we're doing today and, and it does. And you know it right this, this, this is a maritime fight. Right. This is the fleet Admiral this is the fleet commander driving sea control driving missions up and down this terrain, right, that thanks to our, our grandfathers and our great grandfathers, they've provided us this. Right. That that's the opportunity. You know, the Marine Corps is a value proposition to the joint force can provide. We're there. Right. We're there literally day in and day out. Many of you have lived there. Right. This is a natural, a natural occurrence for the Marine Corps and certainly other parts of the joint force, but we got a chunk of the Marine Corps out there, living this and really doing this extremely well. But this matters. Right. Placement and access matters, especially when I start talking about the rest of the things I need to do from information as a war fighting function. It matters. Right. It matters. Of course, you know, when we always have a discussion on tanks and other things, I said, man, I'm not sure how tanks are going to get around that but just a bad joke. So, as part of force design, as, as we wanted to complement the mix, right, and figure out how could we take authorities, approvals, capabilities that exist at functional combatant commanders, cyber space and how can we provide that to the operating force. And, and provide it in an implied way. Right. Obviously, everything goes by within through the geographical cocom. I know you're taught all that. But, but how can you one gain momentum. Right. But by looking at these capabilities that exist at Fort need, right, title 10 title 50, and capabilities that that exists out in Colorado Springs and Chantilly, and how can we create interior Alliance communication to get shit done. This stuff's really hard. Going through the authorities and approval process on this, not for the faint of heart, right capabilities that we can bring to bear, right, going to, and I say in other places, cybercom Marines forward deployed really a unique opportunity if the stand force concept is going to be a reality. So, record information command is really this idea of having this service retained. General Berger used to call me at my four cyber he asked me something about Queen Elizabeth deployment and cyber this and, and, and you can repeat this to him since he's no longer I'll be thinking myself. Hey, bro, I don't work for you. Right. Not really, not really, but, but that was a fact. I didn't work for him, and I should I needed to. And so that's why we created this. So he calls, man, I'm snapping and pop it right snapping and pop and direct order lawful order, all the rights see to in place to have a service retained force, sitting at Fort Mead with one foot in Colorado Springs, in order to fully understand what these functional combatant commanders are going to provide the joint force, and to get a to get a get a leg up right get some momentum going and general not Sony huge fan of this.  That's like really important right both of those co comms have global deployment authority because you know, right I can't move forces from one co com to another co com without secretary defense saying so. Service, Secretary of Defense orders book.  Right. This just creates this momentum. And, and, you know, general not to Sony and mentioned his name a lot but but very adaptive very innovative very disruptive. The idea of pushing cyber mission elements out from under us cyber com authority direct support to stand in forces in the first time and change think about the opportunity that has. On an enduring op order, out of us cyber command, and the same thing and stop going in the book here this month from space com doing similar. Little Marine Corps, like we're the smallest of all these forces like way small and sometimes being small has that adaptable trait to it that we've been able to do, but this is just about working in the information information war fighting function, and how do we gain momentum tempo, especially when we don't have the stuff, or the authorities, or the approvals. It's a way, and you know I always get in this fight. Well damn it, we need to move all those down to the to the operating forces we need to move all those authorities down and I got no problem with that and you can sign me up to that decades long discussion and probably things that I do and I engage Congress and send it on that as part of my job, but we're on the clock, right.  Okay, so, he Smith comes in. God bless him. And first thing he says okay, you know, don't burn it all this and of course these comments are all right they're going to. What's the next thing we're going to do hey. I want you to create this strategy and vision, and you're going to you're going to drive it into the rest of the Marine Corps because we're not moving fast enough. Obviously he's probably scolding me as he's giving me this great job but but but we're going to we're going to we're going to drive it in so this. The concept that we've developed and I'm just sharing it with you is this idea of fighting smart. Pretty appropriate. If we're going to be data centric. If we're going to have data drive outcomes data drive decisions data drive how we are going to do so we gain that advantage fighting smart of course, if your mcdp one acolytes right it's the last two words in mcdp one. It's a philosophy for fighting smart, you know, characterizing mcdp one. So, so this is kind of what we're looking at as we do our campaigning of sorts. So, I got the team right now, not not right now out at my four pack my four pack really getting after this, right they got they got urgency in their up front lights headlights. And so we're putting this together, and ultimately classic common on signature. It's going to be much it's it's about technology as well it we're going to go there we're, you know right now, as I review the palm the information portfolio for the supervisory role. Right I look at this stuff I'm saying man, this but we've been trying to put this thing together for four or five years, some of it longer, and it's all got to change.  I have too long in aviation. I despise black boxes. Right. This is really about our hardware at some, you know very precise level right not insignificant. It's about software. Right. It's about this continuing changing making your own luck approach, and certainly how we're going to interact in massing data, right. The whole joint fires network everything into pay calm is doing is is truly busting all those doors. So data is fully available when and where you need it at the right security level and and that's important to we can't be reckless in how we do it anyway. Right. This is just our approach we're focusing on three things right people readiness and ultimately modernization, and, and, and we're going to, we're going to give it our dam this and trying to push the next step of this and we're also doing a reference publication for the miggs. So that's, again, big part of my job is from thought to paper to to, as you know, it's just the starting point it writes up and you sign it. Now the fleet either an adopt or not, and pushback or not for us to improve.  The f 16 was built around two people, the pilot and the maintainer, right the ergonomics on the airplane is absolutely amazing.  So, so Boyd very much and everybody thinks Boyd was a counter technologist and some respects he was, but he just wanted to make sure that people were the most important side of it. And whether it was tanks, Marconi's radios, or the internal combustion engine and tanks and vehicles. At the end of the day, the people who put the most into their people got the most out. And again dark side of the force but you know the whole Brit Blitzkrieg concept is one of Boyd's favorite examples of how that is done, when they had the least amount of everything, but yet used it the best people, all about people. Now just end it where I started it, and thank you, you know from the bottom of my heart. What you're doing it, what you're doing fact that you have so much talent, can do so much in life. You're here, you're studying, you're making yourselves better going to make the joint force better says a lot about you and I don't take it for granted certainly the comment I we got to talk to the other day, doing great would also echo that and want to tell you that in person here soon. All right, thanks again God bless you all and have a great, great day. All right, thank you.


Why would we study law and government in our teenage years? It is not that this is the first time you might comprehend the subject, for we learn of rules and procedures in our earliest years in the family. It is not because of the intricacies of law and government that require some sort of near-adult capacities. It is rather that these are the years when young children are shifting from being just passive students to becoming independent and effective adults. It is at this point that you can first really see what you will need to know if you are to be an active and effective citizen of this nation. Welcome to Law and Government, a survey of the knowledge and principles of law designed for effective U.S. citizens of tomorrow. My name is Jesse Brogan, and I am a performance engineer who happens to have a law degree. In a very real sense, the purpose of this course is empowerment of tomorrow's citizens. It is placing the tools of self-governance into your hands and harming you with a perspective of how these tools have been applied in the past and what was accomplished by those who have applied them. It is empowerment because you are the future of the United States. The purpose of this course is to prepare you for effective citizenship and the lessons provided are designed to give you information and perspective to understand the laws and legal foundations that will apply to you and your neighbors. In this, you will become part of that great experiment we call the United States, and it will be up to you, each of you, as future citizens to assume your own part in that experiment, helping one another to learn from the past and to plan for a future. It is the decisions you make as a sovereign citizen that will become the future that you get to pass to the children of tomorrow. It is said that those who have not learned from the past are bound to repeat it. This course addresses the past and the present, following some of the ways that U.S. law and government was intentionally created to be different than all that was before it. This course also presents some of the ways that U.S. law and government are different today than at the time of our nation's founding and how we have come to be the nation in which you live.


So we got some great earnings that came out last night. We played some gambles Worked out really well. So let's see if we Get the same thing today. We have some huge earnings today as well blackberry a or cow amp Um, and then we also play car max before market close That is going crazy kmx. That's tomorrow morning Looks like a lot of people are extremely extremely extremely bullish on it To honestly go eat the direction Let's check it out. See what the market outlooks looking like today Wow So market outlook is actually pretty bullish for today. It's just messing with a few things So market outlook Overall was pretty bullish. We had a lot of big movers live nation was up a lot today likey Had a big move to the upside after earnings. Um, it's kind of choking a little bit there Booking that calm. Oh my gosh blast it off, right? And then some of the consumer staples company got hurt beat up Clorox Kroger's they're kind of down a little bit png Kind of down walmart not doing so well target Uh might be finding opportunity here on target studying up that reversal Monster energy is actually um up a lot From that bottom 82 In early december announced a 92 10 dollar move there Very nice What's up, what's up trawster going on? What's going on mickey trick? It's not it doesn't work for you Um, try the youtube site where we have this on youtube as well So if it doesn't work Um after the twitch just check the youtube site see if that works for you Even though most of the chat is on the on the twitch side though We dip in tomorrow for some more loads kip ass Possibly what's going on kip? It's uh, it's been a pretty crazy move. MU was also a big move today up 10 percent Have you guys ever seen MU move 10 percent before? Super rare, man So close around 90 68 AMD is also up Um MU single handedly saving Nvidia man from the from the death FedEx is also moving up today UPS as well Um, so this is like the industrial sector Industrial sector seems some good recovery Healthcare sector still pretty strong Um with the exception of visor and red earner Not sure why they're selling off pretty hard. It's a little bit weird It's only been coming out really good news Um, but I guess I guess the whole sector has ran a lot in the last week or so Um, the healthcare sector so I could see maybe that's why they're just cooling down a little bit taking a breather This was a good day today indeed indeed Today was overall very nice day Um, things almost playing out exactly to market plan as well looking at the S&P 500 futures You know, we had a really good bounce off that trend line that we're looking at yesterday around that 450 area Um, huge bounce it hit there and then huge bounce off there Now we're coming back to the MOB line for a little bit resistance So I could see some chop going on for tomorrow, especially like You know being the last two days before the holiday tomorrow could definitely be a choppy day I have seen MU move big whenever I entered it and moved away from me like a road from the light Dang except for the calendars I'm glad you got into that play bro. Um, you know, one of the one of the reasons we set up the earnings account challenge was because You know, I've seen a lot of people That's been in the market for a while and they're trying to succeed in it and it's just like And as far, you know, um, a lot of people have a hard time swinging options A lot of people have hard time learning strategies and stuff And I just wanted to set up, you know an account challenge where it's like full full You know full disclosure full transparency by the same time like help people make money safely Right, so that's been the goal of our account challenge And I'm glad I've been working out for people, you know, just seeing people slowly come to their account I had a few people mess with message me that said, you know, there were negative like 60 percent for the year And and now they're like Seeing really good recovery. Some people we cover like 40 percent of their account already And and you know, some people are seeing like 15 20 recovery just by playing the challenge and nothing else So that's been good. I'm happy to hear that man. I I like to see everybody succeed Let's just check out some of the earnings for today So today we got Right 8 in the morning in general mill those are the two big ones. So I'll check those out first and then got blackberry after hours Sir, Nike was also a huge banger as well I'm very excited about that The other thing is I also have to make time to to do the tutorial videos on the earning challenge Because I feel like a lot of people are still struggling to set up the plays and a little bit confused on it as well So I want to be able to make it a lot easier for everyone crazy move Yesterday yesterday Costco gave up all the games found support 536 and now we're seeing some recovery again Oh, geez man scam us So we got in general mills this morning Um earnings for sure was 99 cents Miss estimate of a dollar and five cents Sales is 5.02 billion as opposed to 4.84 billion This is a 6.6 percent decrease In earnings per share compared to the same period last year company reported quarterly sales of 5.02 A billion which is a 6 percent increase in sales compared to last year So they definitely make they're making more money than last year's but earnings per share is still going down Which means that you know, they could be struggling with some supply chain issues cost issues that's You know causing the margins to go up a lot refresh this So where was the company trading at last year last year the company was trading around 59 dollars Right now it was a 65 with six percent increase from last year The price is within reasonable. It's been chopping around this range the whole year moving within the $10 range Two years ago the company was trading around 53 dollars right now 65 sales had about 12 12 dollar increase which is which is pretty good over 10 increase Almost 20 percent They said they're seeing net organic sales increase about five six percent higher cost impact much going on in um general mills Just your regular increase Let's check out right eight from this morning What's up arby nickle? Are you done? Then uh i've been having pretty good pretty good week Month so far let's say right a opened down pretty hard today at 11 dollars and then huge recovery to 15. What did they say? What did they say? so right a um Earnings per share is 15 cents may not compare to negative 14 cents. They said Uh sales was 6.23 billion Miss estimate of 6.32 This is a 65 decrease compared to earnings from the same period last year Uh 1.8 increase in sales compared to the same period last year. So Not crazy. What was the company trading at last year? Oh last year the company was trading around 19 dollars So I could see why it had a nice little move there off the double bottom It's not like they're doing much worse than last year Except for EPS They raised their four-year guidance as well They also raised their sales as well, but still looking to to be below estimate for the year Um, they're expecting to have another wild EPS For four year 22. What's up with that? Company announced store closure plans to reduce cost and improve profitability So looks like they're following, uh, CVS In terms of like cutting down some stores and and like the bad stores and stuff Well, they're about to close 63 stores That could save them 25 million I guess that's good in a way and bad in a way It's gonna make their revenue lower um year over year But if those stores were burning money anyways Could help out the EPS Good afternoon mario. How you doing? meh This is okay earnings pretty meh So that was the earnings with today In this morning. Let's check the after hours So after hours we have camp c amp. Why is this communication company? EPS was negative 8 percent. I mean negative 8 cents and down from positive 10 cents Sales is 69 mil miss estimate of 79 mil It looks pretty ugly 180 decrease compared to the same period last year and 21 decrease in sales Down 12.7 percent after hours ouch ouch So coming to this pre-covid levels AAR also reported as well. They're like a aviation and defense company Earnings per share is 53 cents miss estimate of 54 sales is 437 miss estimate of 449 70 increase compared to same period last year 8 percent increase in sales compared to the same period last year Where's the company trading at last year? Let's see The company was trading around 37 35 to 37 dollars Um right now is down 5 after hours to 35 dollars So it's pretty in line with last year's numbers In terms of stock price But the performance looks like it was doing much better in the last years Compared to two years ago company was trading around 45 dollars So I think I think one of the other things is that they probably lost some money last year because the whole aerospace sector the whole aviation aerospace Sector has been down pretty bad And and they said like when I really expect him to go to war in the next four years or anything So that could be one of the other reasons that a lot of these defense contracting companies are not doing so well um But let's check out the earnings. See what's good here. What's up young bow? Second quarter cash flow 16 mil 150 mil share we purchase Market cap is 1.25 12 percent That's a 12 percent buyback hella bullish Hold up a i are Sell it to me I dare you sell it to me Oh Pick some position up. We'll see what that takes us Um, it was down pretty hard before I wish I picked it up at 35 Um, let me go through the rest of this Sales to commercial customers are 59 Sales to government was a 15 decrease Whoa, so this is actually pretty bullish. They said that throughout the pandemic We demonstrated our ability to drive consistent cash flows This has resulted in exceptionally strong balance sheet Which allows to continue to invest in our business while we turn the capital to shareholders In addition to deploying capital to fund our continued growth We will also return capital to shareholders through our 150 mil share we purchase program Which we announced which we announced today and we'll commence this quarter um, so that's actually uh really quick We purchase program whereas other companies like Could say oh, we'll do it for a year You know, we could like buy anytime from now or a year from now But these guys are like now we're gonna buy it this quarter So that's actually low key pretty bullish It's a good buying opportunity 35 20 I'm pretty sure if this moves tomorrow, it's gonna probably move pretty quick so I wouldn't play a spread on it. I mean could play vertical, but not something that would be too excited about playing it um It's done m u rose and it rose significantly today by our plays Not kind of that much. Is this because iv crush? Well, so the way we're playing it a lot of times, so it's actually it's up 139 percent Um, compared to the play we should be up, you know over a hundred dollars And the reason that you know the reason that we're not up even more percentage Is strictly because there's still a lot of premium to be burned So we sold on december 23 90 dollar calls and we bought the december 31st 90 dollar calls So the one that we bought Right the position that we bought Is next week's And the position that we're selling is this week's So this week's position Still has a lot of juice left You know look at the juice on it the stock is at 90 dollars and 69 cents And we still have A dollar and 80 juice on it. So that means the break even on this is 91 84 minimum So that still has a 91 84 minimum juice on it whereas Whereas if it gets burned it should be close to 69 instead of 184 So that's a whole dollar of premium left on this Left on this leg to be burned whereas this leg You know, even if we burn some premium, we should still be up a lot So that's that's why That's why you know, the play is not up as much as it should be because we still got time left As i've said this multiple times the best is to wait till closer to friday Um, as long as it's floating near our price point We should be making dumb money So as long as it doesn't go too far away Um, tomorrow we would tomorrow's wednesday we'll be making a dollar and 30 And then on thursday we could potentially make a dollar and 80 So a lot of um, a lot of opportunity left Um, emu is also very bullish today as opposed to nike So people more people sold off nike than emu because you know, they saw that How much pretender emu has? Oh, yeah, um, young bow if you're here should cut this So for some of the people that are in our algo group chat um We looked at these two plays earlier this week Um that we set up over the weekend. So one of them was sky and the other one was adi Um, a sky was set up by young bow. Um, and adi was set up by me and both of them had really really nice move So sky we were looking for a move to 75 dollars that's 73 28 right now Up 4 percent today. I've had a whole three dollar move So that play is up over 80 percent. Um, something we're looking at in the algo Good chat for all the people that purchased the Double seven algo swing algo Um, then the other one we're looking at was adi which is like a semiconductor company We still got a lot of time on this But as long as it remains like above 170s, we're going to be profitable If it gets close to 175 tomorrow or thursday Could potentially make a hundred percent So something we're looking at as well And that's something we're going to release like every weekend We're gonna, you know, review the trays and and post them up Oh, wow AIR is going as low as 34. That's pretty crazy. They're really trying to sell it off Looks like that's gonna be a swing What else is going on today Do you guys have any other stocks that you guys want us to check out a chart? Wow next week not much earnings Oh, yeah, blackberry has earnings day. When when is that coming out? That's gonna be a 5 5 8 5 p.m. Thing. I feel like at this point Let me check out the stock list Oh snap. Omar etsy had another move today Actually starting to look really bullish on the daily to 88 I think I actually ended up closing my etsy today though. Let's check out or gm Org and origin materials. What does this company do?  This is the range here. If they're gonna reverse and go up This is the range here finding some good support Um, has some support here and then we're seeing some support here, right? So I would say probably good area resistance right here Um, a little bit of small resistance here as well But can potentially see a 750 target Try some twist chat. All right, so I'm gonna post some charts on On the um on the discussion channel in x-rays ORGN Could potentially see a move to What's this range here? 740s Momo continues Which is momentum A cup of magic So let's check out amazon Goddamn it, man.  So amazon got another buy signal today Um, so we got the triangle pointing upward here, which is the mmsmart buy signal And had a nice move Nice move from 3300 to 3400 a hundred dollar move today So 3300 has been a good area of support magnet and overall in general That range been pretty solid in that area And we'll be finding support. However, we're also getting lower highs So watch that over here and see a little bit lower highs here, right? So watch out for that could be a good area to You know take profit at the top of the range Um, it can also squeeze through it too and really go either direction as well So that's something else to be mindful of Stole puts for april Very nice So it's in that short term little squeeze AMZN Let's check out google Google is the same setup as um, as um as amazon, so Probably the same thing You know could see some profit taking opportunity tomorrow Um, the other thing is you also got to check the algo to see what what the algo thinks of the market tomorrow So right now the algo is saying possible short opportunity. We could possibly chop tomorrow um, and and reasonably so because We had um, we had a huge run today, right? Um, so after a huge run is not as you know, not surprising to see us Going back down a little bit at least at 460s from 463s Um, I think that's a reasonable area. I mean unless we break through again like this over here just go You just just Break us right through that resistance. That's also a possibility too. We'll see time. What's how? What is your thought on plug powers or go down lower? Good question. Let's see Oh, wow. I think this is the bottom for plug powers I could be wrong, but I it's a it's a good area Um on the daily chart. We're looking at it. You see some poc here point of control on the purple bar here That that could be a good, you know, it's holding that area. So it hasn't dropped below it So I think as long as we're above Um, you know, I would say I think as long as it were above that short term support at 27 dollars. We're pretty bullish um We we got the crossover on the daily here Things are looking almost positive for for plug man So this this could be the bottom. This could be the bottom Looking at the recovery side looking at the recovery side, you know, ideally you can see it move back to 28 90s I mean 29 26 31 And 35 This plug Or ocean spell Healthier healthcare cooling off possibly Had a breakout today. Let's check out uber Oh, I think the whole healthcare. I mean not the whole the whole travel related sector is breaking out today Things are going to be a trap. I think it's a it's just going to be a huge trap Yeah, so we had the nice little double bottom Nice move to the upside because see some resistance coming up around like 42 range 42 60s Um, I do expect us to chop from here or go down the volume bar No, doesn't the volume bar doesn't mean bullish or bearish at all the volume bar on the algo It's strictly just to tell you good areas of support and resistance possibly It's just another alternative way of looking at support and resistance It doesn't necessarily mean is um is bearish actually in fact, um Uh, it's just an area of demand and supply So if you google or understand the basics of like supplying demand in terms of uh stock terminology Um, you know supplying demand just equivalent to support and resistance, right? So if there's an area of a supply That would mean resistance if there's an area of support Um Then then that is if an area of demand that is support So being below that a candle just means that that's an area where there's support at and it flips Um, you know it flips depending on whether the candle is above or below it So now this purple bar here is a resistance Uh, but if you purchase the algo I'll explain a little bit more on how how we use this and And and stuff, but that's why we have like that's why that's what I'll go with different from other people's scripts and stuff because There's so much stuff that people need to learn to become a better trader and And that's why like I have the mentoring session in there to to teach more into it See what the market on clothes and balance today was 380 million to the sell side 800 million to the sell side around 330 Sander Claus rally everybody says More like a Grinch rally So they said that in some years the expected rally comes later than others And can run past December 25th into the new year's if Tuesday's bullish price action is recognized The rally could be beginning now Although more conservative traders may want to wait for spy to wait capture key levels What's the key levels? What is this key level they talking about key level 462 They want to see spy at 463 and 75 I Guess I guess I guess is reasonable range. I don't even think we really been ejecting that level much Small caps was actually very very very bullish looking um the other day We did get a nice rally in the half day chart in the small caps They even had a rally the other day too Been an interesting little range for small caps Things are not looking so hot in the daily though I think we still have a lot of indecisiveness Oil did have a nice run though natural gas Might have to set up a play on natural gas because I feel like this could be a potential mover Maybe 16s. Wow. It's so cheap It's not even worth sitting on a calendar just straight up calls This burst all the way back to 16s Oh Clip it Go has been coming down a little bit So weird This this relationship between go and the stock market has been so weird this year Let me show you what I mean by that So freaking weird man Actually driving me nuts how weird it is Oh, I got a goal. I'm gonna put go on the left side. I want to put ES on the right side So last time market rally Right Do do do do do Hit the top and go hit the top as well go rally with the market this time Market came down. Do do do do do do Go came down with the market Right now market is running back up. Do do do do do do Right And go the size to come back down So it's so weird man. The relationship has been so weird all year Um, and then obviously this whole range over here from november 23rd all the way to like december 14 I don't even know about that. That's weird as hell range too so Goal, you know market was up Market came down goal came up, you know as it should usually and then market came down pretty hard and goal came down pretty hard so They're like sometimes they run together Sometime they ran separately. It's like they can't decide what they want to do Dollar index seeing a little bit weakness today But i'm not sure if we're done with the weakness for the dollar index Still barely bullish on the daily chart Lumber came back down a lot. Um finding a small support area here Facebook, uh, we talked about facebook and microsoft yesterday strong movers Um was extremely bullish to the 340 level. So we got a huge move on facebook today up eight dollars Um apple found the bottom as well Finding some support there Test that trend line could reject it Netflix strong move 11 dollars setting up that possible double bottom run too Um, if we open that 6 30 tomorrow, we're probably gonna close that position that we have in the earning challenge account Roku is actually one i'm very surprised about i might have to set up I think i'm gonna set up a personal play on roku On like either directions because I think it does have direction to go to 272 Um, I think the opportunity to go to 72 is there as well But also the opportunity to go back to 200 is also there So it's it's like if we're if we're looking at this from a technical standpoint Um, seeing it having a hard time clearing this uh resistance here at 234 That usually would mean that it's going to get smacked And then just come back down to 200s. So that that would be the ideal Move there getting smacked and coming back down Um on the longer trend chart, you can also say, hey, you know what? This could be a possible double bottom move, you know setting up here Um, and you know setting the first double first side of the w and then the second side over here So that's also another possible mode too Um in anticipation. Is there an hip commodity? That's a good question. Kev I feel like that's something that Omar would know She asked him. Oh my god and this company do mdb Mongol database Nuts went nuts today Inverse head and shoulder setup. It's just like You can see 580s. Who the hell knows $42 move in one single day, man Oh Had a lot of good setups on the chart TTD coming back to the MOB line on the half day chart and just Having a strong move off the MOB Some of my favorite stocks there Zendesz Tesla Yo, if market is bullish we could easily see tesla coming back to the 1050 levels Um, some of us discussed that already. So that's a that's a lot of I took to and we'll see where that goes That could be an interesting area Oh, look at bowing setting up that perfect double bottom Look at bowing 100% So bowing I could see a move to at least 203 Um, it's so strong It's half day chart. It's looking so bullish the whole day Probably one of the biggest movers we have ever seen on a single day basis on ba um This this will probably go down for one of the top five top Percentage move on bowing for the year. I guarantee it pretty sure. This is a top five $11 move today Holy smokes Jesus Unreal. Unreal. Wish I had a chance to take that trade, man Yeah, I think we talked about it yesterday too. I I remember Um, I remember us drawing that double bottom pattern on it. Oh, maybe it wasn't yesterday. Maybe it was the day before thing Um, morgan stanley also had a big move today. So financials like I said, I like it when market drops financials are usually good areas to buy Cgc had a 10% move Oh god, man A lot of big moves this day You could literally throw the dart anywhere in the chart today and make money almost Or at least anywhere in my on the my watch list, you probably had a good chance of making money Throw the dart anywhere in the watch list here and you make money They've been buster 11% move coming to the top of the trend line If you guys are itchy looking for something too short watch this for the next few days You view you view and view view maybe even 38 dollars. I just take that super short How could we not short it shake shack lift So you're asking about uber before lift also looks strong lift could potentially see that move to 43 Um, I would say lift is a little bit more bullish than uber in a sense Oh, this is probably This is probably a potential big mover for tomorrow Target tgt It's been dropping pretty hard. It broke the trend line Um It lost the support here. So that's a 223 support. It's trading at 220 right now Um, I think if we see some recovery we're potentially see it recovery to 223 if we can get above 223 Um, that could be a pretty strong move higher I'm surprised target hasn't moved lately because the a lot of the other retail stocks has moved a lot Can't even see a move to 240s, man. Holy smokes. That's a good play tomorrow. All the tree not much going on lately Oh, I has been getting pretty beat up with some sell signal from motley fool But keep in mind a lot of motley fool those guys They so this is how um, this is how motley fool works Their sales signals are based on moving averages, right? They will say this If the stock is above the 200 moving average or the 100 moving average, they'll be like the stock is looking bearish It's time to sell. I mean, that's the same kind of signal that you can even get it from trading view You go to tradingview.com You type in the ticker I'll show you Go to the overview Right and you go to the technicals Um, and all the technicals are going to show you strong sell sell sell sell Because anytime is like i'm not sure why the market has has has decided this Um, I guess some of the theories are the golden cost and golden cross and the depth cross So anytime these stocks under these big moving averages They will always tell you to sell sell sell But if you honestly follow these You probably have a very low chance of making profit Um, so a lot of those are like golden cross and depth cross signals depth cross is when the 50 and 200 crosses over So it could be potentially be like moving average crossing over here by the time you see that cross It's already down here, you know, and then the next thing it does is going to move back up squeeze you down Even though it's going down further by the time you get back in here again It's probably going to make another move back up just to squeeze you out Yeah, let me catch up on the chat. What about now service now Yeah, it's it's got a little double bottom pattern there Got a little double bottom pattern there Take a pee at Walgreens if you have a chance one of my favorite few profitable stocks in my trade account I might just take profit cut my loss and start fresh Let's check on Walgreens So Walgreens dropped a little bit following the up move with the with the with the positive news from bright eight So it's not trading a little range. It's a long-term hole for me But I would say, you know, if you want to take profit to top the range is a good area Um, then you got bottom of the range here Buy low and sell high I could see another leg up to maybe $50 Think that's possible. It looks like it wants to set up another leg up on the daily to 50s It's there opportunities there What's up terribly happy How is PayPal? Let's check it out. So it's going on cp PayPal has been choppy, man So one good thing is PayPal hasn't broken that super support yet at 176 Um, so that's an area that's been holding Uh, it's been consolidating a little bit just good because it's finding support. It's holding support It hasn't really tapped this 176 level, which I kind of wanted it to tap That would have been a good tap, man. I don't know why they won't do it Because I feel like if they get that tap, that's when you're going to see that big move Um, but other than that, it's looking pretty good It's finding holding that bottom. Um, usually when it finds and holds the bottom it could set up the move up So let's say that I feel like probably the three month outplay maybe um February if you were taking a call gotta take it out at least till February at least take to February or March call Yep, I'm still holding mines been collecting the dividend on it. Do you follow any EV motorcycles? VLCN? Um, not really doesn't uh, doesn't um, Harley-Davidson have an EV motorcycle now Oh, this is a special acquisition stock. It's gotta be. It's gotta be. These are dangerous, man These are very dangerous be careful. They could be selling off the three dollars LCID I haven't touched it since we looked at it last week Um, we had that bullish catalyst that it was getting listed in a NASDAQ, right? Um, so that was something that was very bullish, but that happened Monday. They got listed in a NASDAQ already And it's not something that I would be too crazy about playing Uh, if you are bullish on tesla You could potentially take this to the 44 dollar range Or take some lotto's at the 44 dollar range if you're bullish on tesla Um, you know could be looking for that double bottom move here as well That would that would validate that 44 dollar range move That we're talking about if this double bottom move set up But by p.m. I'm about to go off here. Let's take a look at one last ticker T. W. L. O Twillow Probably on a downhill move lately, I imagine so looked at it last time Been getting good rejection off the blue and the purple line We're at that purple line again It's been a very good downtrend Heading that purple line. I think this is a good area to take profit. Are you in the twillow tray already or Or you're looking to get in Mr D stack You're already in it. If you're already in it. This is a good area to take some profit Um, if you're not taking profit If you're not taking profit here next area to take profit is 300 dollar range So if you've got calls take some profit Um leave some runner for the next range, right? But everything on my thing is saying Take profit Because it's getting to places of greed, you know, um where like Where where where they're gonna be possible selling So I hope that helps man. How long out for a possible bull run I mean if it if it goes to like the 300 right, um Let's say you want to take it to the next level over here That could be another two weeks out. Um, it could either come back down like it did over here Like how it come back down, right? Do this before another run so that could be two weeks to in a month out depending on whether it comes back down or not So if it breaks through this range, it would probably get here in a week or two If it doesn't break through this range at 276 over here Um 277 actually if it doesn't break through that 277 It's gonna come back down and it's gonna take more time to get there So if it breaks through it'll take one to two weeks if it doesn't break through it's gonna take a month But that's it boys. I'm gonna end it here. Have a good night And we'll be back to oh Blackberry came out with the earnings Take a look at this real quick Earnings per share is zero dollars as opposed to Negative seven so that's actually bullish sales is 184 million as opposed to 177 Um compared to last year 17 decreased They're going to have a guidance call a little bit soon They're gonna provide guidance in the call So as usual blackberry is pretty flat during earnings So not much moved there. I don't know if anybody got the super bottom on this stock at 33 Um at 50 but that's probably going to be a good buying range for the week I don't see why not Tomorrow we're going to check out that car max play So for those of you guys that got into the car max lotto with us. Good luck. I hope this prints I hope this prints Take care guys
