Recent surveys of sprout growers in California and across the United States identified a broad variety of production practices, including types of facilities, types of seed sprouted, and pounds of sprouts produced. For example, the surveys reported sprouts being produced in buildings, sheds, greenhouses, modified buses, agricultural fields, or a combination of these. Firms were producing about 50 different kinds of sprouts. The most frequently observed products were mung bean, alfalfa, clover, and radish sprouts. Most firms were relatively small operations, producing less than 15,000 pounds of sprouts per week. These surveys also identified one or more problems with sanitation and hygiene in at least half of the sprout production facilities visited. Although seed appears to be the primary source of contamination in sprout-associated foodborne illness outbreaks, poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene at the sprout facility will increase the likelihood of sprout-associated foodborne illness. This module will present an overview of one way to produce sprouts the right way. The sprouting facility should be clean, well-maintained, and enclosed. Facility layout should allow separation of seed storage, production, and packaging areas. Traffic flow within the facility should be such that employees are moving from the cleanest areas first, like product packaging, to less clean areas, like seed storage, and not the other way around. Additional information on requirements and recommendations for facility construction is provided in Module 2 and in the GMP materials accompanying this video. Plant cleaning and sanitation are covered in Module 3e. Appropriate personnel practices are discussed in Module 4. Each of these factors should be firmly in place before production begins. Seeds should be clearly posted at the entrance of the facility and at relevant locations throughout the facility to ensure visitors and employees are aware and reminded of company policy about hygiene and sanitation. Sprout production consists broadly of the steps shown here. Some firms may add to or omit some of these practices depending on a number of factors including the type of seed being sprouted and the size and resources of the firm. Seed is usually received by the firm in bags or sacks. 50-pound cloth bags are most common. Seed suppliers should visually inspect all bags and pallets upon delivery for evidence of contamination including insects, water stains, and presence of rodent or bird droppings. Bags of seed that have been contaminated with rodent urine will glow when viewed using a black light. Seed sacks and seed that show signs of contamination or excess filth should be rejected. As mentioned in the preceding module, producing a safer product starts with using good, quality, clean, intact seed. Sprouter should purchase seed only from reputable suppliers. They should have good communication with their suppliers and should know as much as possible about where and how their seed was produced. Seed bags usually bear a tag listing the following information. Supplier name, supplier address, lot number, seed type name, and country of origin. Sprouter should retain these to facilitate traceback in the event of a problem. If microbial testing of seed is done, either by the supplier or the sprouter, results should be reviewed. The seed storage room should be clean and sanitary and separate from the rest of the facility. It should not be used to store equipment, chemicals, or personal items. Storage area temperature and humidity should be controlled. Seed stores best in a cool, dry environment. A good rule of thumb is a combination of heat and humidity that equals 100. For example, room temperature of 70 degrees and 30% humidity. Seed should be stored off the floor and away from walls to reduce the likelihood of rodent contamination and facilitate inspection for signs of rodent contamination. Open bags should be stored in a receptacle with a tight-fitting lid or otherwise protected from contamination. Seed containers and the surrounding area should be inspected on a regular basis to monitor for pests, and a pest control program should be in place. Seed lots should be kept separate to facilitate traceback should the need arise. Seed lot number should be noted and recorded for each batch of sprouts produced. Seeds have been identified as the source of contamination in most sprout-associated outbreaks. Therefore, it is important that sprouters apply an approved disinfection treatment to seed immediately before sprouting. Currently, 20,000 parts per million calcium hypochlorite is recommended for treating seed. Seed disinfection will be covered in more detail later, but the basic steps look like this. Employees handling calcium hypochlorite should take appropriate safety precautions, including wearing protective clothing. A fresh 20,000 parts per million calcium hypochlorite solution should be made for each batch of seed. Carefully follow all label instructions when mixing and using calcium hypochlorite solution. Additional references are available in the accompanying handouts. It is important to use the correct amount of solution for a known quantity of seed. Too much seed or too little solution will decrease the effectiveness of the treatment. A mixture of one gallon of solution for five pounds of seed should be used to ensure adequate antimicrobial activity. Weigh out a known quantity of seed into an appropriate container and pre-wash the seed with potable water to remove any dirt or debris and then drain. Add the 20,000 parts per million calcium hypochlorite solution to the cleaned seed and stir for 15 minutes at room temperature. Pour off the used chlorine solution and dispose of according to state requirements. Treated seeds should be rinsed with potable water for 10 minutes, changing the water several times as necessary to remove any residue. After disinfection treatment, seeds to be grown in trays are generally pre-soaked in potable water to initiate sprouting. Seeds grown in drums are generally not pre-soaked but placed directly in rotary drums. If seeds are pre-soaked, the soak time should be as short as possible to minimize the opportunity for microbial growth. For some seeds, one hour is sufficient. After pre-soaking, seeds should be rinsed with potable water to remove residues from soaking. Methods used for germination and growth and subsequent harvest and washing vary depending on many factors, including the size of the operation and the type of sprout grown. Germinators may use rotary drums, trays, growing rooms, or soil trays. Soil trays have some special considerations that will be covered later in this module. Germination and growing times vary with type of sprout, time of year, and germination process used. For example, alfalfa and clover three to seven days, broccoli four to seven days, mung beans three to eight days, radish three to fourteen days, and wheatgrass three to fourteen days. Germination processes fall into two general categories, rotating drums or trays on racks generally in a lighted room and stationary containers, for example bins, beds, or buckets, in environmentally controlled rooms or freestanding growth chambers which are often kept dark. In addition, some sprouters germinate sprouts in drums, allow up to 60% of growth to occur, then rinse the sprouts and transfer them to trays, cups, or final packages, such as clamshell type packages, on a tiered table or rack to finish growing. With this process, sprouts will grow in a more vertical uniform manner. When purchasing new equipment or remodeling facilities, food safety and ease of cleaning should be a primary concern. Rotating drums are usually hard plastic cylinders, measuring approximately five feet in diameter by five feet deep. Drums are positioned sideways and off the ground with a chain or belt attached to the back of the drum for rotation. Rotation keeps sprouts separated and prevents clumping. The inside of the drum is typically partitioned into quarters with the same plastic. As discussed elsewhere in this video, drums should be designed in a way and constructed of materials that make cleaning easy. Drums and all equipment should be positioned in a way that facilitates cleaning. Typically, alfalfa, broccoli, clover, and radish seed are sprouted in rotating drums. Each drum can hold eight to 100 pounds of seeds, although 10 pounds of seed per quadrant is most common. Once the seed is placed in the drum, the lid is closed and the drum begins to rotate. Water is sprayed intermittently on the seed to keep the sprouts from overheating, to remove byproduct residues of growth, such as ethylene gas, and to irrigate the product. For instance, seed may receive a water spray every 10 to 15 minutes for 10 seconds. Sprouters should use potable water for irrigation. Air may be blown into the drum to keep the product ventilated. Care should be taken to ensure air does not contain contaminants, such as dust and mold, that can contaminate product. Mung beans and soybeans are generally grown in bins or beds in separate rooms. Rooms are kept dark, humid, and with temperatures between 70 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit. An intermittent spray, for example, less than a minute every four hours, is applied either manually with a hose or by an automated watering system. Buckets, bins, barrels, or beds should all be raised off the floor to prevent contaminants from splashing onto the product. During the sprouting process, samples of irrigation water or sprouts should be tested for pathogens E. Coli 0157H7 and Salmonella. Samples should be collected at least 48 hours after the start of sprouting, but no later than 48 hours before harvest and packaging to allow the sprouter to obtain results before the product is shipped. It is important that persons collecting samples understand aseptic sampling procedures to avoid contaminating samples and know how to label and package samples for transport to a laboratory. It is strongly recommended that all testing for pathogens be done by an external, qualified, independent laboratory. Additional details on sampling and testing procedures are contained later in this video. When sprouts have reached the desired stage of growth, they are removed from growing containers or harvested. Depending on conditions and the rate of growth, sprouters may harvest a little sooner than expected, or they may let the sprouts grow a little longer. This variability should be figured in when planning when to sample for microbial testing. All equipment used to transfer seed to growing containers and to harvest sprouts should be cleaned and sanitized. Equipment and tools should be stored between use in a clean and sanitary condition. Tools should not be placed on the floor or used for other purposes. During harvest and washing, sprouts should be handled with clean and sanitary equipment. After sprouts are removed from the growing container, they are washed with cool water to remove excess hulls. Washing with cool water also helps bring down the temperature of the sprouts. Sprouts may be washed in a bucket of water and sieved through a handscreen, or they may be placed in a bubbling tub of water to loosen and float off hulls. Occasionally, sprouts are washed in recirculating water in a flume system. If water is reused for washing successive batches of sprouts, water treatment systems and monitoring devices should be in place to maintain water quality. After washing, sprouts are usually spin dried using a centrifuge for one minute, or in some instances, a clothes dryer for two minutes. Sometimes, sprouts are placed in a cold room between harvest and packaging to remove heat generated during the sprouting process. Anytime sprouts are cooled in a cold room, they should be placed in small shallow containers to allow for rapid cooling and to minimize the potential growth of pathogens. Sprouts in a large container, such as a 20-gallon barrel, may take several days to cool. When cool and dry, fully germinated sprouts are ready for packaging. Some firms grow sprouts in soil. This practice carries some additional considerations. If a sprouter is growing sprouts both in soil and hydroponically, soil grown sprouts should be grown in a separate room from hydroponic sprouts to avoid cross-contamination. Tools and equipment used for soil grown sprouts should not be used for hydroponic sprouts. Personnel should change boots and clothing and wash hands after working with soil grown sprouts and before entering other areas of the facility. Seed used for soil trays is soaked and rinsed as described earlier for hydroponic operations. After rinsing, wet seed is usually held in buckets to allow for initial germination. Again, this should be kept to as short a time as possible to minimize microbial growth. While seed is soaking, plastic trays are filled with soil. Sprouters growing sprouts in soil should choose a growing medium, for example, sterilized potting soil that does not contribute to food safety concerns. Maneuver, even composted manure, should not be used. Presoked seeds are spread on top of the soil and leveled out. Growing usually takes place in a greenhouse. Water is sprayed on trays usually two times daily by an automated pipe system overhead. Sprouts can take five to 10 days for optimal growth in wintertime or three to 10 days in summertime. Most soil grown sprouts are harvested at the facility, washed, packaged, and delivered to the customer. Typically, soil grown products are brought into a cutting and packaging room in soil trays. Ideally, soil grown sprouts will be packaged in a separate area that is cleaned and sanitized between use. If the same room is used to package soil grown sprouts and other sprouts, soil grown sprouts should be brought in alone, for example, when no other product is being packaged. All surfaces that come in contact with soil or soil trays should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before other product enters the area. Some sprouters do not harvest soil grown sprouts at the facility, but place the sprouts and soil tray in a plastic bag and deliver the product directly to the retailer. At the retailer, the tray is placed in a cooler. Typical retailers of this product are juice blending shops. These shops cut sprouts, primarily wheatgrass, directly from the tray and drop them into a blender with other fruits, vegetables, and various ingredients. When the retailer is finished cutting sprouts from the tray, the tray of soil with remaining roots is returned to the sprouter. The sprouter may pick up these trays while delivering new trays of freshly grown uncut product. Trays should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before reuse. Some sprouters deposit used soil and remaining sprout parts into a compost mound. However, reuse of this soil for sprout production is not recommended. Packaging should be done as quickly as possible after harvest. Packaging is usually done manually and should be done in a separate packaging room. Packaging materials should be stored in a clean, dry, pest-free environment separate from seed. Only food grade packaging materials should be used. Since sprouts are living plants and continue to respire, packaging materials should not permit an anaerobic condition to develop. Packaging usually occurs at the growing site. However, occasionally, product is transported in bulk to another location to be packaged. Some firms selling at farmer's markets transport the product in bulk and package the product into retail containers as it is sold. It's much more difficult to control conditions at a farmer's market compared to a packaging room in an enclosed facility. Handwashing facilities may not be easily accessible at a farmer's market, and product may be exposed to hot sun and blowing dirt. Such conditions make appropriate handling of potentially hazardous food very difficult. If product is sold like this, special care should be taken to ensure product is kept cold to avoid bare-hand contact with the product and that utensils used to transfer sprouts to retail containers are clean and sanitary. Sprouts have been designated as a potentially hazardous food in FDA's food code. Therefore, if the food code has been adopted in the state, certain requirements need to be met, one of which is maintaining a cold chain or keeping product cold at all times. Packaged sprouts should be placed immediately in refrigerated storage. Cold room temperature should be 41 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Temperature should be monitored and recorded or a continuous temperature recording device used. Thermometers should be checked regularly to ensure they're working and that they are accurate. Measuring the temperature of the product in the center of the room is a better indicator of product temperature than measuring room temperature. Product should be arranged to allow good air circulation and rapid cooling. Because sprouts are still respiring, they can generate heat even in a cold room. Small containers and good air circulation help prevent hot spots that may result due to heat generated by the still living sprouts. The cold chain needs to be maintained as much as possible when staging or stacking boxes to prepare for loading delivery trucks. Refrigerated delivery trucks should be cooled before product is loaded. Staging on non-refrigerated docks and or in the hot sun and likewise, delivering product to non-refrigerated customer docks breaks the cold chain. If product warms, microorganisms may grow. Delivery vehicles should be clean and sanitary. They should have refrigeration and thermometer gauges, especially if they are going more than a short distance. Remember that delivery times depend not only on distance but also on the number of delivery stops made. Since sprouts are perishable foods, at retail, they need to be held under refrigeration. Once sprouts are harvested, cleaning and sanitation activity should take place prior to the next production run. This is where your sanitation standard operating procedure, SSOP, becomes especially important. As discussed earlier, an SSOP should detail all steps necessary to properly clean and sanitize your facility, along with instructions for how and how often these steps should be taken. SSOP should detail how all equipment, utensils, and food contact surfaces should be routinely disassembled, inspected, cleaned, and sanitized prior to being placed back into operation. SSOP should also detail how non-food contact surfaces, including floors, walls, and ceilings, are to be cleaned and sanitized. SSOP should include safeguards to ensure that sanitation activities do not contaminate ingredients, finished products, or packaging. SSOP should detail how all chemicals used during sanitation activities are to be stored, measured, handled, and disposed of.


All right, good to see you all. Welcome. Happy Thursday, everybody. Good to see you, Chuck, Grant, Andrea. By the way, Andrea, I got your text. I can't believe I'm not gonna see you up in Toronto after all these years. So hopefully we'll meet up next time, my old friend.  I'm gonna be at onsite. So hopefully we'll see a bunch of you.  I'll see you then. But anyway, exciting morning. Couple of things at a movie. We've got this wheeler that's moving. Couple of stocks. Especially this one that got destroyed, hammered. We're gonna talk about that one because it was a great short. Could have got in in the half hours. And we'll get a couple of good pops, too, on some other stocks. We're gonna check those out. But before we get started, talk about some of the stocks that are moving that we traded yesterday. You know, it's funny, it seems like every day we're getting these really big 200, 300% movers. And it's weird because usually we only get maybe like one or twice a week, but it's been like almost every day. And sometimes we've been getting it twice a day. And that's just like the super extreme. And when you see stuff like this, you're like wondering, why wouldn't nobody even wanna get involved in this? So I spoke to, just to let you know, I spoke to some of you yesterday. And I know there was some of you here need to talk to your wife, you gotta talk to you. You gotta think about it, this and that. But listen, I get it. I mean, like listen, it's a big commitment, but just remember for some of you that are watching online and watching YouTube and everything else, let me explain to you how trading works. And I always use this metaphor, okay? You've been in this room and you'll see things. And once again, we don't tell you what to buy, we just show you what's moving. You have to hit the button. But this is the only thing that kind of confuses me. If you hire someone after going through all those interviews and you know how hard it is to find people to work. You're the right person. And you finally made that investment to hire someone and they work with you for about two, three months and they're not making you any money, they don't get it. What are you gonna do? Keep paying the person? Keep training them? No, you're gonna fire them. So the point that I'm trying to get to is this. If you've been doing something for two months, three months, like I talked to somebody yesterday, he's been trading for a year, loves it, knows everything about options, everything. I'm like, great, how much are you making? Six figures? He's like, oh no, I've actually lost 70,000 last year and this year I'm breaking even. What are you doing? You're wasting your time. And then they come here and you see this moving up and they're like, I don't know, it's too fast. I'm like, listen, you think this is fast? You're trading something five times harder. So I just wanna kinda make that comment really quick because we're gonna go and show you what we traded yesterday for some of you that are watching for the first time and some of you here that still gotta think about it. And then maybe hopefully, you know what? You gotta, this is the front line. So when you turn on the financial stations and you see them on a New York Stock Exchange, this is what they're doing. So let's talk about some of those big winners that I'm talking about. So let's start off with this PALI. So PALI yesterday, you can see here right out of the gate at nine o'clock in the morning, we had a good pop on the stock, cheap little stock. Look, it went all the way to a dollar and the thing by 11 o'clock was already at $1.90. That is literally almost a 100% mover. It's cheaper than an option. It was a lot more controllable. It was a lot easier to trade, just a fun stock all round and round. AMC, everybody wants to trade AMC. This is one of the mean stocks. It was such a great short, okay? Great short. This stock right here, you could see it once it broke this big support levels right here around 10.57, it was game over. This stock did reverse stock split. It's the worst thing that could happen. It's not technically an eight dollar stock. It was worse than that. They did a 10 for 100 reverse stock split. Stock is getting crushed, okay? Great short yesterday. We, I don't know about we, I saw we made a good pop and I don't know if this was just a fake pop and it came right back down. I'm gonna scratch that one out. ICCT, this is the one also, big, big run up. $2 stock went to $20. This thing is up about almost 1,000% and it was a great run up. Yesterday, once again, short squeeze, but it had a nice little pop right around here, around 9.30, ran from 7.70 and about 30 minutes ran to about 10.50. Another nice mover. This one was really, really cool. This one was nice. I like this one right here. This one right in the middle of the day, you know, we finished commentary, which by the way, if you're on social media, we're gonna be broadcasting live all the way to 10.30. So don't log out. Something new we're gonna be doing for everybody online. So you guys can watch a little bit, what we do. So anyway, NBSC, great mover, 11 o'clock, dollar 30, kidding me, $3. Great little move right here. Even if you jumped in later on 12 o'clock, they had this 220, they have great iceberg orders, big, big pop right there. I mean, the list goes on and on and then NVACS was pretty decent. That one moved pretty good. NVACS is moving pretty nice. I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know if this has something to with COVID or, you know, I know the first lady got COVID.  Everybody hear what's happening about the masks? They're considering some of the states are mandating masks at schools. Listen, like it or not, there's gonna be an opportunity to make money. I don't know. Is it making some of the COVID stocks move? Is it going to make, is the masks gonna stop moving? These are things we're gonna look at. Now remember, you can't take things personal or political. I know I lost a lot of traders because they look at that. They're like, oh, you're anti-Trump. Oh, no, you're anti-Biden. No, it has nothing to do with that. It has to do that these catastrophes make opportunities and you just gotta know how to capitalize on them, okay? If you believe in global warming or you totally think it's a hoax, listen, there are stocks out there that, you know, it depends who's there. Those are things that how we make our money, okay? No, exactly, Andrea. Very well said. All right, so let's go over what's moving today because there are a couple of stocks. There is one stock getting destroyed, okay? Hammered. Where'd it go right here? Which one was it? Was it this one? No. Where'd it go? Was it our rub? Is that what it was? One of the stocks got destroyed here. And where'd it go? There's a lot of stocks out here trading, by the way. Oh, it was a kit. It was kit, that's what it was. M kit, right? Was that what the symbol was? No, it wasn't that one. It was a M kit, I think it was. Where is it? Why is it on my losers list? Didn't show up. HKIT. So this stock, okay, so we've been trading the stock for, you know, you can see from August. Great, great mover. All right, stock went from $10, $15, $20, $25, $40. And then it got very, very volatile. So we really haven't traded too much. But yesterday at 12 o'clock, oh my god, this thing got crushed, destroyed. So it went from $31 down to three bucks, okay? Now, is there support levels? Damn, right there is, right there. Right around the 433. So HKIT, just to let you know, I went on a level four. I'm gonna bring it over here to show you what we're gonna be talking about. So you got a couple of iceberg orders right here. He canceled here, and then he went up here. So it's not a lot, it's about 20,000 shares. And HKIT, you know, it's only trading about $1.5 million, but we could get a dead cap out. So HKIT, you could say whatever you want, $35 stock, you know me, I love bottom fishing, okay? Yeah, Michael, we're gonna talk about AI too, because yeah, that took a major hit too. That's all my watch list also. All right, so we got WHLR also that's making a nice little move today. So this is the issue with this stock. The spread's big. Remember, one of the biggest things that we teach you at Cybertrain University, remember, I know, and I know some of you yesterday that are gonna be students that have to talk, and maybe some of you would be potential students. Let me explain something to you. There's something called the three T's, tradable, trend, and trap. The first T is one of the most important T's that's 50% of you gonna lose all your money because your trading stock that has a big spread is too volatile, whatever it is. So that's why when you look at certain categories that we rate level one, two, three, four, five, you gotta know, you gotta make sure, are you at that level? Are you making that much money? Can you risk that much? So these are things you gotta look out for. Now this stock, the point I'm bringing it up is small tier sizes, 100 tier sizes, you know, even it went up, I know it was a good move from seven o'clock on to seven 30, but after that it kind of slowed down. It is going my watch list. It's got good volatility, 5.7 million shares, 100%, but it better be a category four trade before you consider this one. A.R.E.B., it was another one that's moving too. It's up about 41%, it's cheap little stock, very inexpensive, not really seeing too many big iceberg orders. I saw somebody out there for $28,000, $14,000. See him right here, you know, moving up there. So he kind of hold it there. I mean, it looks okay.  I'll take it, I'll hold on to it. Now AI, let's go to AI. Now AI is getting crushed, so bad earnings yesterday on AI. Look at this stock, huge, got slammed. Okay, $32 down to 27. We had a lot of fun with AI. We traded AI from 16 up to 45. I think a lot of us kind of abandoned it to AI, you know, frenzy kind of quiet down a little bit, but you can see AI took a big hit right here. I'm seeing a big buyer though at $27 right now. And I'll show you right here. See him right there? Big, big buyer right here, $27,000 to $36,000. So I want to see what happens there. There's a lot of reds going on. There's a lot of orders out there. Now for some of you that subscribed to our channel, I did do a video on a workshop on order volume and time and sales. So I'm seeing a lot of sales going on, but it's not breaking it. So keep an eye on that $27 price range. It is a really, really, looks like a really strong. Now you might not see it on a long-term chart, but I see it in the future chart. And that's the difference between people trading on the past versus people like us that trade the future. All right, next. Cheap little stock right here, AF, IE, IF. 30, up 31% a half million shares. I don't really see too many orders out there, which is kind of flat, A-T-I-F. I'll put it on a watch list. It's not terrible. We already know about H-Kit and it's only up because of yesterday, all right? So that one's gonna be a fun stock to trade. So once again, just keep an eye on that one too. This one's got some big resistance over here. It's 16, 17%, 14%. I didn't see anything else I didn't like here. By the way, a couple of the stocks are taking big hits too. NVIDIA is down too because of the AI trade, okay? So if you're trying to figure out why is NVIDIA going down, listen, NVIDIA's killing it because of the AI chip, all right? Cause they're like the pioneer of learning the whole thing. All right, anything else out there in New York? No, losers on the NASDAQ didn't really see too much out there, so the only bottom fishing I like is the Wheeler. New York stock exchange stock. So there was one stock, a bunch of you guys are looking at is one of the ETFs. Now you know I'm not a big fan of ETFs. And the reason why I'm not a big fan of ETFs is because it's kind of hard to see iceberg orders, okay? You get a lot of algorithms kicking in. So you're gonna get a lot of this rainbow effect. There's orders everywhere, but she is moving pretty decently right here. And you know what? For some of us, once in a while, we do trade in ETFs. I'm putting this on the watch list. It's got a good spread. It's just gonna be hard, kind of hard to follow it. Yes, and also you're right too. Michael, Chip has also taken a big hit, which I forgot to mention. Chip is also taking a hit right now, breaking all-time lows. And that's obviously not a good sign. So once again, charge point. So if it's Chip, I think plug should be going with it also. Well, plug's really not going down too much. There's a couple of little stocks right there. Plug might follow along with it. So it looks like a couple of them are taking hits. I don't know, do you know what the news is on Chip? By the way, we know what the news is on Chip. Why it's going down? Is it earnings? I don't understand why Chip is gonna be going down charge point. I mean, they're telling everybody to buy all these earnings. All right, well, I don't know what happened. I thought we were all supposed to be driving electric cars. I was a fan of Chip. I thought it was actually, after hearing the news about all this electric car pushing stuff, that charge point was gonna move. Actually I have one in my house too. So, but I bought it last year and my car got stolen two months later. So it's been sitting there. I don't even want to talk about that. It's a little story in its own. But yeah, charge point, we can keep an eye on the short right there. That's not a really good sign with charge point. Go breaking new lows right there. That is an old time low right there on charge point. Yep, not really good. Donald says nice gap up on Seabae. Listen, the Seabae, I saw it, it's up 17%. I kind of passed on it because it's kind of been flat lines in 730. So I'll probably put this on the, on the probably the B list. You know, not on the A list. By the way, anybody on social media, YouTube, Facebook, anyone here? Any stocks you guys looking at also? You want to check out? I don't know if you guys put it in the chat right there in the overlay. I don't know if you guys are gonna be there. But we're gonna be trading with you guys.  All right, that pretty much does it. Market's opening up and about her electric car sales in the US has slowed down. Chuck, you're right. Because Ford, I'm glad you brought that up. Ford made an announcement that they lost, literally, I mean, you could see it taking a hit right there. Ford took a hit about like two or three billion dollar loss on electric cars.  I think it's a, you know, everyone has a theory on it, but the market doesn't lie. You know what I mean? Market doesn't lie. So I don't know. I think the next, I think the next maybe next crash might be the, could be solar panels or the windmills or all the pens. If we get a change, we got an election coming up and let me tell you, you know, all takes is the stroke of a pen to do an executive order. And all of a sudden, if that happens, you know where we're gonna be fellow traders. Short, short, short, short, everything that's out there, certain ones out there. All right. Michael says, sidelist, Tiger, PIGR, and, you know, that stocks on very, pretty much have had a nice push, it's on a downtrend, but I don't think it's on our short list, Michael. All right, let's get ready for the market open up. I'm sorry I've been talking too long. I don't wanna go for about 15 minutes. Listen, we're gonna start commentary about when the market opens up. If you're new here to Cybertrain University, make sure you talk to your education advisor and make sure you do your workshops that we give you. If you watch our social media, don't go anywhere. We're not gonna log out. We're gonna pick up when the market opens up.  All right, everybody? Let's get ready. I'm so excited about September, all right? Happy trading, everybody. We'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. We sure are. All right, we just opened up here. Let's see what we can get here within the first few minutes, that each get stocked. It might be getting halted on the way down, right out the gate. Wheeler's coming down to, I think it's volatile. Wheeler, yeah, stay away from that right now. HK came crashing down. Yeah, it's just calling that out. That might be getting halted soon, the way it's going. You wanna follow the trend just when the market opens up, so the way the market is dropping off at first and pre-market, you gotta follow that, I'd say, but in fact, it's just breaking down below support here. That IO and Q is crashing pretty bad going into the market open, Fausto. Now it's down over like seven or 8% just about here. Let's see what else we can get, though. One of our students you heard of calling out a pop on A-R-E-B. Oh yeah, that's a halt. There we go. You see how Fausto, let me check on my level four. I'm looking at another trade. I'm looking at AMD seeing that break lower right now. Yeah, it looks like it. It looks like he may have. Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, IO and Q is getting smashed right now. I think it's gonna keep dropping down towards like support around 1750. It should probably even lower. See, I don't wanna buy any puts right now. Just I'm looking more for a bounce over time, so I may have to be a little patient here this morning. AMD dropping right now. I mean, that's gonna get to a support level I like, but we're really at a critical point and the way the market looks, I think that we're gonna go a little bit lower here first, but Rich, turn over to it on your screen. Where'd you get in from? What was your price? Oh, that took a huge hit yesterday, right? Where'd it go from like 40 down to like four bucks? I don't know, Rich, if you wanna post that, if you can. Lawrence, really nice trade on the H-Kit trade. That getting 50 cents from Lawrence. Beautiful from him, one of our gold students there. John in and out there a bit. Yes, Jeff, the H-Kit trade got halted. We were just talking about that on the mic. You gotta listen in, you gotta pay attention. But no, otherwise, I mean, it was a quick pop and halt for Fausta to jump in. Like I'm not in it right now. If anyone had gotten in from like 450 or so, you're looking really good. There's plenty of other stocks out there though. There's plenty of other trades that you could just focus on. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, there you go. See if that could build a higher low over time. I gotta be careful here for the market to make a lower high right now. We're just about after at 935. So this is a kind of critical point to see what happens here across the market. You know, there goes the market right now. So that goes inverse to like what the spy does basically. I mean, that's the chip ETF. So like NVIDIA and AMD trade inverse to that. So, yep. So the market just made like a drop off right now. I was thinking it can make a lower high like that. That's where you gotta look for that trade. Sox for that to make a nice pop. See what happens here. It looks like the market's still kind of lingering near the highs trying to kind of just snap back, snapping back up. The AI trade, that's actually something I'm gonna focus on personally right now. I'm waiting for that to drop a little bit more to get support right around 25, 88 or 26 bucks. I forgot about that earlier. I don't wanna lose sight of that. Yeah, so off the earnings, I forgot about them until you brought them up in the meeting. So I was like, oh, wow. So I look at the chart and we've been trading AI forever now, right? Don't ask how I remember this. I have no life. So, you know, but I remember distinctly the price 25, 88. I was shouting it out like just for a number of weeks as like, you know, this could be a big level. And it was like for a number of weeks at a time. I wonder if it's gonna drop down there today. It would be funny. It is really nicely and it's got a great order book. It's not like crazy level five stock. It's pretty fast. As crazy as this is, at least it has a pretty liquid book. Damn. I'll tell you what, I just missed the bounce on AMD. I called out that support level. It didn't drop low enough for me to plug in my entry. Ooh, nice slingshot on AMD right now actually as I'm talking. Still sizing up IONQ and I just told support as well. Yeah, that's popping up nice and you have an iceberg on the bid it looked like. Yeah, about a 35,000 is laddering up. Damn, AMD really good slingshot so far. Yep, there you go. Looking good. Definitely not. If AMD pulls back down towards like 106 and change it, I definitely want to get support there. Wow, that was a nice slingshot. All right, so you just broke through it. That order just got filled. Right here, look at it laddered. He laddered, laddered, laddered. He did get executed, right? Yeah, completely got filled. I zoomed in pretty tight. 25.88 is my price. Stand by it. 25.88, yep, 25.88. Now if it blows right through there then obviously there's no entry. But we teach and of course I say this out loud to all of us especially on YouTube right now perhaps but we teach this in our class as far as how to actually enter the trade. So I'm calling out support, looking for a bounce on AI at a lower price but it just sinks right under it. There's no entry. I'm not jumping in that. There's a certain strategy behind it. We teach that. Well that was off the job support this morning, right? Just in general, just seeing the market sink at first. Kind of expected a little bit just given September being historically a bad month and I guess that's to be expected a bit. I'll tell you what, that's not good. I'll tell you, the one thing I'm gonna mention in the AI fowster that I'm not a fan of looking at the cyber clock, we got a little bit more time until that famed reversal hours. So I was actually discussing that on a coaching call early this morning in pre-market with one of our students Pablo and I said literally just that to him. I was like, if it's between nine 40 and 10 o'clock the stock is dropping. It's tough to look for that bounce right there because you got a little bit more time to go. It won't deter me for looking for the entry but if it breaks right under that price it won't shock me. It's DSP. Oh, that's a nice little tree there. Yeah, it definitely is. The one thing with it at least it does have like a good book it's not on like a crazy spread but that doesn't make it level one. What makes it level one is how fast or how slow it's moving. That is not a slow moving stock. All right, I'll tell you outside of that AI setup I'm looking for with like my AMD and the rest of the market. I'm gonna hang back and just focus on that AREB with you and see if that could build a higher low over time. It is, it is, I've been like, now since I remembered it I'm like just sizing it up now. Yeah, he got out with a nice trade nice profit from Sydney. AI trying to pump up a tiny amount here but I don't know about that. That could be the move I actually want because that could be the head fake then for it to tank more and then I get my bounce. Yeah, IO and Q looks like it's ready to break new lows that is just laying at support. AFRM dropped off nicely today that was a good short. It is, that's the thing, it's like if AI bounces without me here I will be a little upset. I know my level so just would be unfortunate if it would go without me but we're patient. It is, as expected that IO and Q just tanked that broke down really well like a Fausto flag to the downside pretty much. Yeah, it's looking pretty good. I think we might get a small bounce on IO and Q here, 1710 but it's got a whole higher lows right from this point. If the market's gonna turn over then it'll likely just go with it. All right, here comes AI down to at least 26. Made that head fake, I was expecting. It's still a little early on reversal time that's just the only concern but it's a strong setup. It's a strong setup, it's just a matter of when. Yeah, 25.88 is my price, historical level. Well, if it slices under it then there's no entry but if it goes under and over, if it goes under and stays under, just like I teach in class there's no entry. All right, keep talking, it's all right. If it drops off, I'm not in, I didn't buy. It broke under it, didn't break back over it, I'm not in. But I know my levels don't, I wouldn't. I wouldn't, yeah, market's pulling back right now so that's the whole issue on everything. I got stopped out on a small loss, very tiny loss on IO and Q, three cent loss there from 17.12, just snapped down lower but that AI trade, I'm still gonna be a fan of 25.88 just over time, if it's not today then it might be tomorrow but next support on AI is 25 so I would love to take the entry there if I can. All good. I don't wanna catch a falling knife. You don't wanna keep looking for a bottom but even if I took a loss there, it's like, all right, well, next support 25, I wanna just get it from there. But how's Mara doing today? Got that iceberg at $11 on that trade. I do think Bitcoin's gonna drop a lot lower so we gotta be prepared if you're in this. All right, so AI back up towards 25.88, definitely interested in seeing if it's gonna build support over time but it broke under it so fast, it should act as resistance initially, just like we teach in class, support should become resistance initially but over time, we'll see if that could blast over that price that would lead to a good entry. Stock that shook me out on a small loss it will say that IONQ popped back up suddenly so I might consider an entry again on it but I'm more bullish or I'm more hawking the AI trade that IONQ is definitely like not a level one stock. Not just because I took a loss on it, that's just been moving so well of lead. The more it moves well, it's gonna get faster and the faster it gets then, it's gonna have some shakes every now and then but yeah, I say that to new students just because it has a liquid order book or good spread, all that good stuff doesn't guarantee it's level one. All right, AI, let's see what you could do here. Let's see what we could do here. As long as we maintain over 25.88 now on AI then we're looking pretty damn good. There is my entry so. This is a moment of truth on the AI so if it can't hold over my price now 25.88 then no ball, there's no game right there. This is tough. This is gonna be tougher AI right now, Fausto. Good entry and everything right now but the market's just sinking or it's just like steady down. Yeah. Again, I was shocked when IONQ was down over 5% right before the open now it's down over 12%. It's crazy. Yeah, I actually hear that briefly. All right, so Fausto, just give me a quick sec here. I have one of our members just messaging me anonymous but just messaging me just basically saying like, hey, I'm having a tough time just like figuring out where to get in and out always a daily dollar short for getting in on trades. I believe they have access to the phase one course. That's the cyber group plus but really I'd say if anything the more that you're with us it's gonna be able to give you the chance to slow things down a lot more. It might be easy for me to say that here to you but really all of our students like Grant and Brian and Jith and Andre and Donald and Sidney and John and Andrea and all of our students joining us right now. I mean they've all joined us at different times so certainly I'd say a number of months down the line a couple months even, probably even a month just go through everything in full and you're gonna have a much better ability to slow the pitch down as I like to say and all becomes a lot easier in nature. Even myself, I'm not catching every trade under the sun today. If Austo's not catching, I mean like what we're calling out if we jump in, yeah, looking good so far but there's plenty of other stocks that are moving that we're not in, right? So as far as missing out on trades it happens to the best of us. We just have to be able to kind of, I'll just say less is more, right? Keep it simple. The AI trade hasn't really gone much of anywhere and not too surprising with, I thought it being a little early for that bounce time if anything that was the only criticism I had on it. If it just flattens out here I guess we'll hang on but AMD pulled, oh AMD did pull back. Okay, hello, AMD pulled back pretty nicely, right? Right down to a support level here. The question is, once again, are we gonna bounce? The IONQ, I was not, I was more skeptical of a real bounce. It just pulled right back down. Good bounce so far on the AI but I ended up buying calls for October on it so I set it out a little further out. Hey, I'm calling it a historical level that 2588 so you know what, if that's historical then that could be a nice swing entry over time and I don't wanna turn a day into a swing trade like impulsively but at least that's setting it out further, the expiration date, it gives you a little bit more leeway. Be careful right now the spy beginning to pull back a little bit more getting closer towards the pre-market low. I, yeah, I did see that. I just saw like the spectrum aspect of it and I didn't know is, I've honestly kept out of the news a bit, I don't know why, just no bad reason or anything, just I didn't know it was with Disney even. I knew it was spectrum related. Oh yeah, that makes sense, yeah. Spectre, Disney, ESPN, yeah. So fill me in more, what's going on with that? I remember when I first moved to Florida, I got Sling TV, some cheap service and right away there was some issue with ESPN in them and they took them off their streaming service so YouTube TV is definitely where it's at. YouTube TV is, it's like 75, 80 bucks a month but it is perfect, has everything that you need. Yeah, it's like 75 or maybe they just jacked it up to like 80 but it's so worth it, just really nice. It's clean, no jam ups at all really. All right, the market is pulling back again here. It looks like AMD just broke right under my support line. I feel like the AI trade's gonna come back down a little bit more, I'm pessimistic but we'll see. I like the entry still, it's just the fact that you wanna see a really strong bounce. Yeah, let me check. V is in Victor, when did you jump in? When did you first jump in?  Okay, so that, okay, we'll know like all the way back in February is when it was at like 140 February, March time, so I can't go back that far but let's just say even, I know it gapped up big in August and then pulled back a slight amount. Yeah, so like let's say after their earnings, if you took options on it, maybe if you took like a 180 call, maybe like for like a strike price of 180, it bounced right off of there so I'd say that's like a safe thought. Let's just say, I'm just gonna check the charts right now just bear with me for one moment. All right, so you're talking really getting in from like 450, five bucks, it's now at $14 the contract. So you're up nearly 300% but that's easy to say in terms of just like, good question, that was for September 8th actually so let's go January, it's gonna be, let's do the same deal of same exact play getting in after the earnings. Like it was at like $14.50, now it's at 21.40. So you're up like 50% there pretty much. Oh yeah, that's, when it comes off a news, it's like a nice stock at times, good level one or two. Getting a small bounce, it's down but getting a small bounce on AMD right now and trying to go up a 10, I actually get a few bounces right now, they're down percentage wise as far as the day. That IONQ is trying to go back up again. This might be the real move there that I was looking for initially. Took a 3 cent loss on it first. That is just ripping up right now a bit from 17. And I'll tell you what, I still, it's on my side list. I haven't called it out yet this morning but well maybe once before the open but MSOS like the pot ETF, just, I don't know something about that. I feel like you could see more action on that at some point today. So I've had that in my rotation. It's making a tiny bounce beginning. TLRI is actually at 295 right now. Moving up a tiny amount there. AI is pulling back a little bit here down towards 2620. So, you know, just keep your stop set. I was supposed to go, I have a warrant for my rest out there in Canada. Kidding, of course. That'd be pretty crazy. Nine years in Faust, though. Didn't know that, huh? Last time I was in Canada. Geez, we're talking. I was in like a travel team tour. I was in Canada. That was last time. Chuck making some good money on that SoxTridge. John making some money on A-R-E-B. There you go. No, Chuck in right from that 10 level. Whole number at 10. There you go. Alright, so A-R-E-B's trying to perk back up a bit, isn't it? It's moving back over like 170, 169, which is a nice level I have my eyes on. Has to hold over it. Yeah, I'll tell you what, man. That is like freaking awesome. That is a beautiful move I had on my book map. I didn't even have it on my main chart. It just looks so clean on a regular chart. Just down to five, back up. There was a trade just like that yesterday on Envax really quick. There was like 104,000 share iceberg midday. Went right down to it, hit it, bounced right back up for like 50 cents. I was like, how clean? Wish AI could look like that right now. I'd say anywhere near 11 is good for a swing entry now at this point. Even if it's under, that's better. If it's over, that's fine. I just don't think that we're gonna break any lower at this stage, so it might take a while for it to like pump up with Bitcoin. If I'm right with Bitcoin dropping lower first, then it's just gonna take longer for this to really fly like to 20 and like make that big swing trade that we want. Slow and steady wins the race though, right? TLR, I gotta call it out. I can't believe this TLRY is trying to bounce right now, but it is on a nice, tiny little move. It just bounced from 282 to 299 today. Is that the highs? I mean, hey man, if we can get that type of run we had in 2018 and in 2021 that we had, hey, let's get the run that we had back in 2021. It went, where'd it go from? It only went from 10 bucks to 67. Yeah, it's such a nice trade. I'll tell you what, I mean, you don't want to hold your breath waiting for it, especially not from earlier, but the way it's looking now, it's like, you're absolutely, like this might, I don't even want to say it and I want to jinx it, but this might keep going up pretty nice. None, it has a perfect order book, it's cheap, it is literally the perfect trade, and hey, like I said earlier, there's trades that Fausta's not in that we're calling out, there's trades I'm not in that Fausta's calling. I'm not in this chip trade, right? I had my focus on other stocks and as long as they're going up, that's the name of the game, but that chip is the best trade of the morning.  AMD had a shake on me just before, but now bouncing up a bit better. So there's opportunity out there, I can't always catch the perfect one at the perfect time, but it's why you're here, so it gives everyone a good chance to try and get in on at least one, like right now, the A, R, E, B, what the hell just happened here? Just exploded up again. I was saying if that could hold over 170, but I was very skeptical of that breaking out like this, what a move, exactly. But hey, it was on our list, we've been calling it out, so if you were watching it right before that pop, then you had a good bit of AI was calling it out. I said 170 or 169, I wish I took my own call out because that freaking held perfect and ripped, but again, we're on other trades. Yeah, this has just become a great morning all of a sudden between like the chip I mean like for my AMD making a good bounce, the AI Tilray trying to go, knocking on wood as I say that. My running gag with the students in our chat board yesterday was I put my necklace of garlic on, try and make sure that we don't jinx Tilray here. It's on your home living channel. I like that, that's a good name. Yeah, there you go, that's pretty cool. Sauce Boss, is your new theme song from James Brown?  That doesn't mean to just jump into anything to just jump in, because honestly you're not gonna have as much action coming up compared to what we just had. But if you're patient enough and if you have certain, how do you say? If you're sticking around and still kind of cycling through a few different trades, well, less is more, but eventually you're gonna be more privy to jump in when you should, and at least you're gonna be able to squeeze out a couple more runners out there. Yeah, it's similar patterns in terms of what happens when the volume dies off. Classic rule that we go over here and we like really go over this daily inside our live trading room, right? Like Monday to Friday, every day we see these, so in our trading room we always say, the stock gets halting on the way down. That's like pretty much a wrap. That's game over, you know, that's it. So as soon as that got halted down and it gapped down much lower than it was a sinking ship from there, I think the Titanic's prettier looking than that each-kit trade right now. Oh yeah, that's also a very thinly traded stock. We gotta walk, here comes the down halt. And just as I said, oof. It looked like it was gonna, I got a weird feel until right today, Fausta. Got a weird feel. I'll tell you, outside of yesterday morning in the first 15 minutes where it got crushed, it didn't have a bad afternoon, just chopped around, it moved up a tiny bit, today bouncing. Oh yeah. I don't know, definitely that, that. Yeah. And you gotta call them out, right? Cause pops up and, you know, has a good book and continues and we wanna keep our eyes on it like that Fubo that you called out. But a really good question from one of our members, Robert here. I think he might be cyber group plus perhaps or maybe one of our new gold students even, gotta just make sure I get that right. So it says, so the first four videos to phase one to get over to phase two or continue. Continue through phase one, definitely. Go through all of phase one. There's about 16 total classes throughout phase one.  So it shows you kind of where we're up to speed in the education cycle. So I'd recommend going through all the phase one first and then, you know, then if you're interested in doing more with phase two, phase three, then definitely talk to your education advisor on that. AI is still going, still making a good move here. So so far so good for my 2588. Again, I set the calls out for October. So if I wanna hold on, I can, but the more it pumps up, then I'm just looking to take the money. Like you always say, Fausta with the swing trade. One of the things I know that you're most privy to a swing trading is when it goes up too fast, that's where you're more likely to get out, right? You nailed that one. That was a really good one. I remember that. Yeah, that too. Yeah, DWAC. I'm trying to see if there's any news out on IONQ. It's getting beat up again, down 14% now. So Cramer talking about it last night on his show, but that doesn't mean much. I got a weird feeling about some short report coming out. I don't know. I got a hunch I could be wrong on that.  And then the stock drops like 30%. This is a crazy move down for IONQ today. Charge point chip. Definitely I'll be back at least at 2.30 in the afternoon for all of us as well, for all of us inside our live trading room and all of us back on social as well. Talk to you folks then.
