This trustee August is hotter than ever at Appalachian Wireless, as they are slashing all normal contract pricing on all smartphones by 50% when you sign up for service. Better service, bigger saving, serving you for the last 25 years at Appalachian Wireless. Big Sandy Community and Technical College hosted its 2016 Fall Convocation Wednesday. All employees were invited to the Mountain Arts Center to kick off the new school year. President Dr. Devin Stevenson says this year's convocation was very important to staff at Big Sandy. We're reporting double digits in enrollment. Enrollment looks great at the college. This is a really, I think, a year of opportunity. It's our golden age. We are after continuous improvement, improving our quality, and we are very committed to that. We never want to be stagnant, never want to be average, mediocre, common. We always want to be doing better. A different venue was chosen for this year's convocation and, according to employees, made the event that much better. We moved the event here to the Mountain Arts Center and it's really made for a wonderful event. We chose the periodic table and we're looking at all the elements that make us successful and we're trying to articulate those and sort of rally everybody to a point of focus so that we propel our institution forward and fulfill our mission. keynote speaker Dave Baker says Big Sandy is located in a prime area. There is a tremendous history of success from people from this region of the state. I think it's a wonderful region and I guess if I said anything, that there's so many people here that can have success by how are they measured, whether it's to get out and see the world or whether it's to get an education and come back and contribute to their own communities. The events begin August 15th. Reporting in Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.


Now, last week we talked about reading trend continuations, so let's define what the opposite of that is, right? The other side of that play, which is rather than a trend continuation, a trend reversal. So, kind of moving it in a full cycle. And the simple version of this, you know, I've kind of experimented with a different couple of different ways of doing this, but I'm going to try this whiteboard really quick here. I think I'll like this better for the most part. But let's, let's, we have, you know, two, we have really three phases. So you have trend, right? Trend, let's say it gets really extended, reversal, and reversal, right? This right here, this is what we call the expansion. And when it starts to speed up, contraction, and then even further down, once, once this second, once this, let's say contraction right here, we try to make this move higher and redo the whole expansion, extension, contraction situation, right? We try to make this, but it fails, right? It fails, and it breaks that low. And then what we have is really there's, there's two different phases. But for me, if there is something like this, let's start to bring all these other scenarios into, into the case. If we fail this low right here and we start to trend lower on some kind of news, let's say that this event is like earnings, earnings release. And this earnings release that comes out tanks the stock. You guys are writing stuff. I can't really see what you're writing. Let me try to shrink this down here so I can see. Okay. Yeah. So we have extension or expansion, extension, contraction. And then let's say we have some kind of news event which brings on, it can bring on two different phases, right? Usually after earnings or some kind of news event, instead of going expansion, extension, contraction, expansion, extension, and right and moving in that cycle, it's going to kind of move in a different cycle where you're going to be in an extension phase at first, right? Usually what you see is this scenario. Now, if the stock is going to extend to the downside, contract and then expand further down for large caps, there has to be a fundamental change in the company for this to happen in my opinion. And with a recent situation like Amazon, let's just say like this is Amazon, right? We're just going to kind of label this Amazon. That's terrible in much better. So Amazon expansion, extension, contraction, earnings comes out, crushes, gets crushed on earnings, extends to the downside. And then we come in here. I've talked about this setup before. This is the reversal. On SPRT, all I did, very simple. When it topped out right here and then failed the midpoint right there, my average was the midpoint. So when it lost the midpoint, I shortened this little pop right here. It washed down to 35. But what I did is instead of shorting the stock, which I would not tell anyone to do, okay? If you cannot trade the open, you should not be trading stock on the short side. You still can trade short opportunities, but you're going to need to trade them. Do not trade them at, you got to trade them before 1030. So you got to find a moment to take the trade. What you're going to do is you're going to do it using spreads. So I'm going to show you what that looks like. So if we take SPRT, for example, SPRT, here's the expiration, go the closest expiration that you can, and then you're going to go out of the money. So when I look at SPRT, y'all just tell me some prices right now. Where do you think SPRT is not going to go? 90% chance it's not going to go in the next 10 days. Up. If I'm short biased, where do I think the 90% chance it is not going to touch this to the upside? 60? Okay. Anybody else? So it's trading in theory right now. It closed at 26, 50, 61. So yeah, okay, 50. If this is the day that you saw right here, it's gapping up to the 36s. You think that when it's gapping up to the 36s, it's not going to touch 50? My opinion, that would be a pretty easy thing to do. It would be pretty easy for the stock that's went from 20 to 60 in one single day to go from 36 to 50. That'd be pretty simple, right? Because that's still within this range, isn't it? This candle, it would need to go to 60 before it breaks out, right? It'd be pretty hard to touch 60 and above in my opinion. So when I look at this and I go, okay, there's very little chance it's going to go up there. All right.  And it never does this right. I don't even know. I don't know how to change this. I have to do this all by hand. Oh yeah, I have to go deep and wide. That's what she said. There you go. All right. So when I look at puts or calls, I'm sorry, when I look at the calls, I don't think it's going to go over 60, right? So I'm going to look at this. I'm going to go, all right, where's my open interest? So I'm looking at the 60, 80 calls. All right. Let me explain this really fast. The first leg, okay, these are called legs. This is a leg and this is a leg and that's your peepee, right?  I'm not being sexual. I'm being medical, right?  That's your vagina. That's not sexual. That's medical. I don't want anybody coming in here. Ah, human resources, human resources. That's medical, folks. Thank you so much for watching our video.

Hi guys, welcome back to another video with Moa. So today I'm going to be talking about how we as consumers can actually help in stopping the production of unsustainable palm oil. Now this is a topic that's actually really close to my heart as I've heard so many things about the damage that it's causing to our environment and the animals within those environments. So it's actually a huge issue over in Indonesia and Malaysia where a lot of deforestation, loss of habitat and the negative impact on the animals and creatures within those environments is happening. Now palm oil is a type of vegetable oil which is obtained from the palm fruit and this is grown on the African oil palm tree. Originally oil palms are from western Africa but they can thrive in almost any environment where there is plenty of heat and rainfall. Today palm oil is produced throughout Africa, Asia and North and South America with 85% of all palm oil produced and exported globally from Indonesia and Malaysia, most of the time using unsustainable methods. Now some of the environmental impacts caused by the production of palm oil is deforestation, loss of habitat, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses in the countries where it's produced. Palm oil production is one of the leading causes of deforestation of rain forests and other ecosystems. This has resulted in a huge loss of habitat for species such as orangutans, elephants, tigers, rhinos and many other animals and creatures. Currently one third of all mammal species in Indonesia are known to be critically endangered as a result of this unsustainable industry that is rapidly intruding on their habitat. One animal in particular that has been greatly affected by deforestation is the orangutan. Over 90% of the orangutan's habitat has been destroyed in such a short timeframe of only 20 years, making it a conservation emergency by the UN. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 to 5,000 orangutans are killed each year as a result of this development. Orangutans play a key role in maintaining the health of the environment in ecosystems around them. For instance, some rain forest seeds in particular can only germinate once they've been passed through an orangutan's gut. Essentially making orangutans a vital part in ensuring the spread of rain forest seeds. If they were to become extinct, this would mean that many of the beautiful trees that we see in rain forests today would eventually die out because they would be unable to reproduce. This does not only go for orangutans, thousands of other species are facing the same fate in Southeast Asia due to the development of palm oil. Furthermore, deforestation as a result of palm oil development has significantly contributed to climate change. By removing native forests, carbon that was once stored in these magnificent trees have now been released, often through the burning of timber and forest undergrowth. This emits vast amounts of CO2 and smoke into the atmosphere, and is one of the reasons why Indonesia has become the third highest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. According to the World Wildlife Fund, an area equivalent to 300 football fields of rain forest is cleared every hour to make room for palm oil plantations. Research shows that if nothing changes, species like the orangutan could become extinct within the next 5 to 10 years, and the Sumatran tiger in less than 3 years. So here's the part where we as consumers can help prevent this from happening. So let's go on to what palm oil is actually found in. As palm oil is so cheap and incredibly versatile, it's become a really popular choice by manufacturers to use in a lot of products. Products palm oil is commonly used in include things like packaged sweets, so like chocolate, ice cream and cookies, instant noodles, packaged bakery goods like muffins and bread, margarine, cosmetics, bath soaps, detergent, shampoos and biodiesel. Now some restaurants, fast food chains and brands that you can expect to find palm oil still used in are things like McDonald's, Domino's, Walmart, Target, Costco, Wholesale, Dollar Tree, Subway, Pizza Hut and a few other brands and fast food chains which I'll link in the description below which foods and brands and products to watch out for. To help play our part in preventing the unsustainable production of palm oil, we can use our consumer power and stop purchasing products which contain this oil. You can make the decision to eat out at palm oil free restaurants and fast food stores and check the ingredients list on the back of products to see if they use palm oil. Vegetable oil is a common hidden name for palm oil. In Australia and New Zealand only three vegetable oils need to be listed in food products. These are peanut oil, soybean oil and sesame seed oil. The reason for this is the percentage of the population suffers from allergies to these oils. All other vegetable oils can be labelled under the generic vegetable oil term. However, the label must declare how much saturated fat is in the product. If the label states vegetable oil and then goes on to state the amount of saturated fat, you can count on that vegetable oil being either coconut oil or palm oil. This is a way of potentially identifying whether a product has palm oil in it as other vegetable oils aren't saturated. I'll link in the description below where you can find a full list of all the hidden names for palm oil. That's all for today guys, I hope you enjoyed the video. If you liked it you know just to give it a thumbs up and if you want to see more of my videos you know just to subscribe down below. And I hope you found this video helpful. If you did and you want to share some more ideas on how to identify palm oil in products or tips and tricks that you've learnt to help reduce your palm oil consumption, please feel free to share them in the comments below. I'd love to hear them. I'll always have a brilliant day and I'll see you in my next video. Bye guys!


We're here behind the scenes at the 21 convention. I'm with Matt Hussie who's fresh off the stage Matt That was a very inspiring very passionate speech I should have three quick questions for you if you were to talk to our online viewers What would be a quick preview of what your speech was about so the speech that I just did was on the psychology of entrepreneurship? I tried to You know I tried to break it down into something that was really usable for people so that there were principles in business if people are starting a business or people want to start a business maybe you're even a couple of years into starting a business Some ideas that people can use in fact This would be relevant even if you're years into an experience business because it Recenters you with some ideas that are kind of timeless no matter whether you're at the first stage or the last stage and The idea is that I've tried not to be too fluffy about it I've tried to just break it down into what I think works in a very real way from the experiences that I've had Absolutely awesome and awesome. What do you like about the 21 convention? I think that the big thing I like is the Focus is on just becoming a better man you know the focus is on becoming a someone who understands different areas of growth and and respects the fact that It's unhealthy to just grow in one area that it's important to grow in different areas of life Absolutely absolutely and do you endorse what Anthony has created here with the 21 convention his ideas what he's trying to convey to the people For Anthony personally, I really endorse his philosophy You know, I know Anthony is all about Becoming a better person and actually growing as a person and learning skills in all different areas of your life So that for me is is fantastic and a great person to and you know have as a mentor Awesome, great. Thanks for your speech and we'll see you in the future. Thank you very much


What I'm going to talk to you about today is the implementation of our regulations in New York City.  And unfortunately, I do have to make a presentation tomorrow, but I need to get out of here before rush hour. As you can see in lunch, I got my dinner, right? So I am going to do my presentation, I'm going to make my way out. My last slide here is, you'll see my e-mail address. You can forward me questions, you know, work with our team to get those answered. Bruce is here, he's my colleague from the Bureau of Communicable Disease up in the city. He may be able to answer a couple of questions also. And if he does it, I think he's very good at taking notes and he can catch those numbers immediately. All right, very good. So what's the problem? Well, the problem is cooling towers below air slide region on the air, causing illness. There's our cooling tower, and guess what? It looks a lot like a smoke tag, right? Thank you guys. In the 70s, with the Clean Air Act, you know, they passed regulations trying to deal with NOx, SOx, PM10. So what is that all about? It's about internalizing a negative externality for those of you who remember your economics from way back when, right? Well, the cost associated with this formal pollution, right, is put out of the health of the people that may breathe in the air slide region, right, just like the cost associated with smog and smoke, what are the chronic health effects associated with those things. This is kind of a very similar thing, at least in a regulatory world, in an economics type of world, right? And so how do we deal with that? Well, just like the Clean Air Act sends a signal to the market with regulations, New York City decided to do the same thing. But before we get into New York City's example, here are some of the different types of signals that you can send to a market. This is also a story about knowledge dissemination, right? This is also a story about knowledge dissemination. Everybody here in this room will understand the risks associated with Legionella, but building in cooling towers. But building orders don't necessarily understand that, right? And they're not going to do something about it unless they do understand it. And so the first thing you have to do is identify the risks through subject experts. You can imagine back in the 1970s, the Clean Air Act, and also in the 1970s after the first Philadelphia Legionella. By the way, I was alive in the 1970s. This job could give me even more gray hair. So back then, you know, you had the first signal coming out. Where's Jen? Jen talked a little bit about legal exposure. Is she here? She talked a little bit about legal exposure. And that's another great market signal, right? For people to start to do things. These guys are going to talk to you about standard setting, right? Again, once you have knowledge disseminated through a community, that community begins to look at that knowledge and say, this is a good thing to do. We need to set some standards, right? And then what's the public thinks it's a good thing to do? Right? So everybody in this room, we all know about it. Most of us think it's a good thing to do, I would assume. What's the public hears about it? That one, legislation and regulation gets developed. So what happened in New York City in 2015? Anybody? Come on. We're in an outbreak, right? The public heard about it. We mobilized, right? And that's when regulation happens. It's the same thing with the Cuyahoga River setting on fire and the Clean Water Act being passed, right? Public outrage, right? That gets me going. So what actually did happen in New York City? Well, the outbreak, August 2015, local law was passed, updated the city administration, administrative code. And then three ways, three things happened there. There was an update to the administrative code in the Department of Buildings. The Department of Health, the Department of Buildings has the power to start a registry. And we're going to check on annual certification of cooling towers. I'm not going to get into the details here, but there's a self-certification that cooling tower owners have to send in every year, saying they're trying to be in compliance. And they also handle decommissioning. So these are all very much record-keeping type of things, right? Registration, annual certification and commissioning, all Department of Buildings type of stuff. And then the Department of Health, we handle the big stuff, right? Well, I shouldn't say the big stuff, but we handle the details. And the details are the rules and rights that were passed or promulgated. And these are commissioners' rules, and there are many different types of rules, but these are commissioners' rules, and they were promulgated in May of 2016. And they apply to all cooling towers in New York City. Now I say cooling towers because that's how the local law is written. And I'm not going to get into the details here, but we actually inspected a cooling tower system basis. Okay? So a cooling tower system could have multiple cooling towers. And there's a whole crazy definition argument that we have or discussion we have about some of these things. Again, registration and certification, and that's from the Department of Buildings. The biggest thing is the Maintenance Program and Plan, which consists of a risk management assessment. These guys are going to talk about plans, right? And all those plans, Jen mentioned it earlier, they're based on identifying the risk. Identifying risks and figuring out what to do. We require a maintenance program and plan in place for cooling tower systems. And this is the building owner telling us what they're going to do to manage that engineered system, right? So that's what must be done. And in the operational record, this is another big requirement. This is proof that what you said you were going to do and your plan, you're going to do. You got to write it down, right? We all know that basis for management. What gets written down gets done. What gets measured gets done. So you got to show us. And our inspectors are out there doing this. So those were probably the two biggest things. The other thing that the ranch did is it provided some minimums. It provided some minimums. Minimums with regards to inspection, operation and maintenance. Probably the biggest minimum, which is treatment. It requires systems to have treatment, cooling tower systems to have treatment. Before the ranch into place, I can tell you there were cooling tower systems that probably had no treatment to kill bacteria and legionella. It required validation sampling and corrective actions, okay? Legionella and heterotrophic bacteria. It also requires verification, right? So that's that record keeping stuff a little bit. Tell us what you're going to do, right? These are all the minimal requirements. Now let's think about this for a minute. We're bringing in minimums, right? What are the minimums going to do? They're going to raise the floor, right? They're going to raise the floor. Everybody's got to meet the minimum. So a little bit of the side effect on this is sometimes a minimum can actually lower the ceiling, right? Because now we have a market and we just got a signal from our regulatory agency that said, you got to do this, right? Everybody's got to do this. So if I'm a business owner, right, and I'm looking to see cost is important, I may just try to do the minimum. And because my regulatory agency just said, you know, we all trust the Department of Health, right? We said minimums must be protected. The Department of Health is saying it must be protected. So that's the minimum. So now if I was doing more than a minimum, I might be coming back down for cost basis down to those minimum standards. So while we're raising the floor, there's a potential for those folks who are doing more that we could actually be lowering the ceiling. So let's talk a little bit about our market. And I just told you a little bit about what happened in New York City. Here's our regulator market. There's about 1.4 million buildings in New York City, bigger than a lot of cities, population, right? 4,000 cooling tower systems, lots of different interesting ownership and management relations, okay? Tenants and owners, lots of different interesting relationships. The regulation holds the owner of the building and the cooling tower responsible, okay? Not a lessee, right? Not a lessee. And so that's changed some of how the leases in New York City have been getting written, right? It's very interesting. We have varying resources and knowledge across these buildings, right? I talked a little bit earlier how about this is all about knowledge dissemination, right? And we use a lot of different languages. That makes things difficult. We had our Russian community, our Chinese community, and all of these buildings are used for different things. Varying usage can make it difficult. That's our market. So I told you earlier we regulate building owners and buildings, okay? Anybody here a building owner? No. How much do you think a building owner knows when you know a building water system? Probably not a ton, okay? Now, who here might be a water treatment vendor? I know we got some of them. Raise your hands if you're kind of on the consulting side of things. Oh, come on. I know I got more.   You guys are the knowledge, right? You're building owners you're talking to, right? They're going to you guys, right? And there are many different types of folks here, right? There's labs, there's engineers, there's industrial hygienists, right? So we've got lots of different folks and lots of different market businesses providing lots of different products and lots of different services. Here are some of them, okay? Now before the race, this is it, right? Fenders out there looking and trying to sell their products and talking about the risk, right? All of that, oh, now the rigs come in. They've got to do that all the time through the filter of the regulations for cooling tower systems. Remember those regulations are the minimum, okay? So that is, although we regulate the building owners, we certainly understand that those building owners get their knowledge from the vendors, right? This area in red, this is where that knowledge gets disseminated, all right? And this is where there's an increase in knowledge and there's a sharing, all right? So those rigs mediate that relationship. What are we trying to do with this? We're trying to move the market from point A to point B. And what does that mean, right? What does that mean? So you can imagine back in the 70s, right? You might have had some folks doing building water system plans. Who was anybody here in the 70s, right? Building, don't raise your hand. Okay? Tell me about that. I'm getting gray hair, so I'm getting there. But you can imagine back then when you first saw people talk, the knowledge on this was very limited. I mean, the Safe Drinking Water Act didn't even really came out. There was poor communication, right? Because there wasn't a whole lot of knowledge like the right complainers. There was any plan that was written, certainly kind of written based on a perceived risk. You can hear even today some folks talking about, oh, we don't quite know what the risk here is. What's the right number for the standard and all those kinds of things. And certainly you have that passive management or implementation from the building side. When you don't really know what's going on, you tend to manage it. So think about your car, right? We're all supposed to get that driver's manual, right? We're all supposed to do a schedule maintenance, right? But nobody really knows why you do it. It's just in the book, right? So you don't. And that's passive management implementation, right? And you might have inconsistent records and all that. You'd have a very high variation. So go to point of view. Oh, I'm sorry. So why did they even do this stuff back then? Well, it was mostly for equipment protection and plumbing protection, right? Scaling, corrosion. There was a cost associated with that. We knew how to protect that, right? So we would treat our water systems to prolong their life. Now, they might have had a little bit of legal exposure and certainly the time went on and certainly today there's an understanding that there's a responsibility to potentially manage Legionella and there's some legal exposure associated with that and finally moral suasion, right? That's the economic term for doing the right thing. So back in point A, all of that risk and cost was externalized, right? Most of that was not internalized. We didn't have a lot of plans. Instead, at Legionella, it was queuing up to the air through these cooling towers and that's how things happened in Philadelphia. Now, point B is where we were to go. Oh, shoot. I went ahead. Oh, shoot again. We want high understanding, all right? So we got that. Everybody in this room understands or will soon understand after talking to the panel the importance of water management plans, right? You need formalized communication between the plan writers, the plan implementers. People need to know when to act and why to act. You have control measures based on identified risk. That's that passive approach, right? You have active management implementation. Now let you know what your car can do, right?  Consistent records informing implementation, right? You can track the things so we know when to do things. And looking at that data, right? To manage your system better. And low variation. So the plan, if everybody's sort of knowledgeable, you would expect the plans to start to look at least conceptually similar, right? Sort of the same general approaches, certainly customized, you know, by the different buildings. And now they're doing it more because they understand the risk and there's some legal exposure involved. Certainly the right thing still. You want to protect your equipment. In the end of the last session, somebody was talking about all the different trade-offs. One of the questions. Well, the trade-off here is a trade-off with health and a trade-off with protecting your equipment. There's also a trade-off potential. If you do it right, it's okay. So here the risk and cost is internalized, right? So this costs a lot to do from point B. So if you think about our market, we talked about lots of different resources, right? Big ANC buildings in Manhattan, small modern-day pop grocery stores in the burnt. That might have a cooling tower. It costs money. So how do we move from A to B? Again, story about knowledge dissemination. Standard setting. These guys are going to talk about standard setting, right? Regulation. That's what we're doing. We've got that public signal now. One thing I'm not going to mention about is technology. I'm just going to briefly mention about it. Technology is, I'm trying to think of it as embodied knowledge, right? We know what is embodied knowledge for a purpose. We're using technology. And technology is developing, and it can lower costs. So moving measures. So in moving from point A to point B, right? That team composition, that's your understanding of knowledge. We're trying to get that knowledge out. That's the understanding of knowledge. That's your team composition. And so with our cooling tower rates, we require that you have a team, right? And those are the people that not only know how to manage regionality, but also know the building, the building system. I think even more importantly, they know the people who are working in the building and how those people work, right? That management component. Understanding and knowledge is part of that team. You take that knowledge and you throw it into a plan. And that plan quality is the documentation of all that knowledge, right? So everybody on that team needs to look at their plan, understand their plan, know their roles and responsibilities. And that needs to go into the plan. And then plan implementation, is that knowledge applied, okay? This is not easy, right? This is not easy. We're all pretty educated folks, I would imagine, in this room. And it's not necessarily the folks in the small, mom-and-pop grocery store who are doing this work, okay? This is not easy. Communication issues, when you go from the team's knowledge to writing it down, right? Institutional development issues, that's slightly easier than the institutional development issues that goes into that implementation. That's hard. It's real hard to do that well. Where are we here with New York City and the Cooling Tower, right? Well, like I said earlier, we have the minimum standards for team competition. We have some minimum standards for required elements. I talked a little bit about them. We also have standards for proof of implementation, all these different records that need to be kept. And there's an institutional capacity that needs to be developed to do all of this. This increases knowledge and awareness. It reduces risk, potentially. More importantly, it internalizes that externality. Now, you're probably thinking to yourself, well, we all want to be at point B, right? Point B is great. Point B is expensive, right? Point B from a regulatory standpoint is, do I as a regulator want to be prescriptive? I certainly don't know every Cooling Tower system in the city and what should be done with it. I certainly don't know all the different management styles and management complications associated with these systems. It was very difficult for a regulator to be prescriptive. Instead, we go with sort of minimal requirements and allow the market to do what the market does, right? Try to find the best way to meet those requirements. So, flipping the switch. And it is kind of flipping the switch, right? I mentioned earlier how regulations tend to get started. They tend to get started after a major event, right? And then there's public concern about it. And sometimes those regulations can come kind of quickly. And that's what happened in New York City. And we flipped the switch in May of 2016. And our program started to ramp up and our violations started to be issued. Not a lot in 2016. Just so you know, it might be a little different. I'm going to briefly touch on our violation system. So what we've done here, not only do we implement these regs, we sort of took a different approach from a technology standpoint to do all of this. We have over 5,000 cooling tower systems in New York. We have closed in on about 15 inspectors out there every day inspecting these systems. And the only way we could do this with the resources we had was to automate this process. And so we do have a software that our inspectors use that go out and they make observations. The violations are actually determined through the logic of the algorithm and the software based on the observations of the field staff. And then those get processed through our compliance unit and get automatically sent over to our administrative trials and hearing. So it's all automated. And trust me, that was a bit of a nightmare, but we did make our way through it. So building orders to try to comply and granted the time that they had, I think they did quite a good job. We have her anecdotally that the water industry was overwhelmed at first, okay? I said 5,000 cooling tower systems. These plans got to be ready quickly and implemented quickly. And I think it was tough for some of the industry to get up to speed quick and rough. And frankly, it wasn't easy for our department to get up to speed either. I really didn't have as much gray hair for years ago, where I did say I was coming from the Rural Upstate New York Health Department. And life was easy in the Rural Upstate New York. And there was some uncertainty in the regulated community, right? Certainly a lot of uncertainty on what was going to happen. So in the late fall of 2016 and early 2017, violations started to be heard. And we were starting to get a fair amount of feedback from both building owners, to our building owner management association and our real estate board in New York, as well as water treatment vendors. And they asked us, especially the vendors, asked us to look at their plans and provide some comments on their plans. And we did. And those were some of the things that we saw, lack of specificity, lack of logical organization, some missing required elements, and little customizing to specific systems. And we also got a lot of feedback with regards to... You can imagine from any regulated community, why are you doing this? This is non-protective and we're getting violations. Nobody likes to get violations. This has eventually dropped off. We also got a lot of feedback, also very much in support from the regulated community. We had some software changes in early 2017, which really streamlined things. At that point, we had finished about 1,500 inspections. Yes, five minutes, just about done, perfect. Second iteration, the market has had some time, plans have improved. We're still getting feedback from the regulated community. It's getting better, it's getting better. And now I'm going to show you how it's getting better. So, in 2016, these are some of our major violations. Does a plan exist? Does records exist? Does systems have daily automatic treatment? They're not required to have daily automatic treatment, but it does make it easier. And here's what we see now. Lots of improvement there, right? Things are getting better. Anything with the risk assessment? Did they have a risk assessment with the proper elements? And then they have a record of all four of the previous 90-day compliance inspections. And there they are, and we've gotten improvement. The number for the compliance inspections is probably a little low because remember, we're looking back at all four years, or I'm sorry, all four quarters, and probably those first quarters would have been missing. But I expect that to improve even more. I think this is the most telling graph, and this shows the number of violations found for inspections by type by quarter. And you can see from the very beginning to today how many violations there are for inspection. And it has dropped significantly. And what I anticipate will happen is we'll kind of level off here. Just briefly, and I don't want to go into too much detail here. PHH is our public health hazards. We do have 30 different violations we can issue. Three of them are considered public health hazards. 14 of them, it could be wrong, 14 of them are critical, more severe, and 13 of them are general, less severe violations. But regardless of what category, they have all dropped. That's my name, that's my email address. Feel free to send me an email with a question. Bruce, raise your hand, Bruce. Bruce, my colleague at BCD, he can potentially answer some questions during the session, but he'll take good notes and give them back to me if he can. So with that, I'd like to thank you.


Henle Feilag in Munich continued to use metal plate engraving until the late 1990s because their editors were unimpressed with the quality of early computer engraving. At Henle headquarters we met with a man whose knowledge of metal plate engraving is rivaled by few people alive today. Hans Kühner gave us a fascinating demonstration of this ancient craft. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Now we're going to add something for the touchstone. Then comes the next touchstone. One, two, three, four, five. And then for the pralterl sign. These are the value of the notes. These strokes are then painted on the notes. Kicked and placed. Then later placed. This is a sketch. Violin keys. Note strokes. They have to be adjusted in the middle of the emergency line. Everything is done with an eye measure. Now I'm going to put the temperature value in. In this case it's on Dantino. Espresivo Asai. I take the corresponding letters from the satin box and put them on the previously drawn line and put letters for letters at the back. That has to be very exact. That's why the expression is stoned. And through this activity, we often did some work with the kaput in which the bowl was not really sharp or it was sanded too hard and then the signs were smeared or broken through. I don't make mistakes. Okay, you're ready to make mistakes. Okay. I take the corrective number and put the position on the back of the note or the note or the place I want to correct. This note is wrong. It's an E and it should be a G. And this position is then marked on the back of the plate. And then I take a small bubble stamp and drive the metal from the back to the front. Do you see that? So now the metal is turned from the back to the front with this thing. And the metal is relatively smooth and you can then smear it with a steel handle. And the bulb has to be repaired again. And the bow is also broken. So, that was only one note. That's the corrective. A decade ago, Hans Kühner put away his hammers and his punches and learned computer engraving. As he approaches his 70th year, Herr Kühner continues to work as a freelance engraver for Henle. For many years, Henle sent engraving work to the Stuart's printing company in Würzburg, which had a staff of about 30 music engravers. It was the second largest engraving supplier in Germany. The largest one was in Leipzig in former East Germany. The engraving plates from the Stuart's company are now stocked in the Henle archive in Munich and lovingly preserved. An old order book from Stuart's lists the works by composer and title and provides details of each engraving project. Henle has preserved Hans Kühner's workshop equipment and a small museum in the basement still displays these relics of the plate engraver's craft.


Helo. I'm Michael Brown and I'm Cabinet Member for Finance, here at West Sussex County Council. Well we've talked quite a lot so far about the savings we made in the last four years, and indeed the savings that we've got to make in the future, and I'm afraid it's an open secret that we've got to save a further £120 million. And that's on top of the £100 million or so that we've already saved since 2010. Now those are really big numbers, and as pressure on our finances grow, one thing becomes clear that we've got to focus firmly on the priorities which residents value most. Things like helping people to remain independent for longer, helping vulnerable people to feel safe and secure, helping to give our children as good a start as we possibly can, and finally, and very importantly, helping the West Sussex economy to grow so that firms thrive and jobs are available for our young people. We also need to be there in times of crisis such as last winter's flooding. Residents must feel that we are there when they most need us, and we must be ready to bring forward schemes such as Operation Watershed to them and their local communities under threat. Tough spending choices are ahead, but with your help we can deliver what's most important to you. So talk to us and let us know what your priorities actually are.

What's good, Joshua Boros back again with another video. So we're going to check out WWE top 20 greatest heel promos. Somebody good heel promo that gets the crowd booing and gets the crowd.  And we know there's been some good heel promos in WWE. So we're going to check this out. Appreciate all the love and support on the channel. Road to 70 K guys have been running it up and let's get right into it. Oh, so well we're sharing something right now. We're superheroes. We dream of revenge. We dream of payback. That's when we go to the mirror and we look and we remember that we are not superheroes. But everything, everything, everything is raw. I used to have this mean old teacher. She was so great that everything she read in a book was true.   I knew that you were evil.  Teacher Lady, look at me. He was getting cheers. He was getting cheers. This was a good promo. I got the whole damn way. Look at that. He's a heel. He's a heel. And he had the crowd. Just like that. Oh, my God. You can't teach that. That is my payback like John Cena that want to see everything die. How about I finally introduce myself to all of those McMahon grandchildren? When I rode to D.B.   That was Randy right there. The best version. The sadistic didn't care he would punch you into oblivion. Randy. W.W.F. Title will find its way around my way. Rock, you're mine. The time of dropping your everything to lose.   You wrestle like somebody afraid to get hit. Like, oh, OK, what's the song? This is this is this was a good one. So this was some good work by the mids.  It would be that W.W. is transformed in the last one. He's an I wrestle. The way I wrestle is because I can do it day in and day out. I am here each and every week.  Let me tell you about a coward. Let me tell you about a guy who tells his W.W.E. fans, the people that he loves that he will be back. I'm the one that doesn't love the band. If they would let me come back, I would come back. Well, why don't you quit? Why don't you quit and go to the bingo halls? This is good. OK, I think you need to calm. That's not what this is. No, don't you walk away from me, Daniel. Don't you walk away. This is good. Reason making this the most relevant prestigious title that W.W.E. has. And I deserve respect.  My GM sitting there criticizing me. This is good. We'll get out here. This was good. This was good, man. Oh, miss can go on the ring. That's why it's always it was funny when CM Punk said, you're a less famous miss. Because miss can not on the ring. I meant to say he can he can go on the microphone. He's fantastic on the mic on the ring. But Mike, yes. Undertaker, use your supernatural powers. How happened there? It just, it just hit us open. I remember watching this live. Edge went rogue. You look a little nervous, sir, that the person you need to worry about isn't the Undertaker.  This is good. You're the Undertaker. This is the edge that needs to step in the hell in a cell with the Undertaker.  I'm going to take the entire family with me.  This was so good. This was man. It's that promo. I remember watching it live. I was like, yo, this is good. This is great. I'm a fight. Get Armageddon. That's for sure. The champ is not here. The champ is right here.  And you know what you're going to do about it? Absolutely nothing.   But I don't regret what I did to Samoa Joe. I'm going to rip his heart out and show it. This is windy. It seems like we're making a lot of promises tonight, including one who come home and chucking the kids that he's already done night night. Bro, Joe is so good. Why they didn't put the belt on him? Oh, my God. This is good. Absolutely disgraceful. Somebody like you doesn't get to be a world champion. This probable.  That's what you do. You entertain people. Hell, you entertain me all the time. Do a little dance for me, book. Bro. Correct me if I'm wrong here, Nate. But when Booker T was WCW champion, David Arquette and guys like some guy named Vince Russo was champ. Kind of weird, isn't it, Nate? Scott Steiner versus Booker T.  You in the ring with a guy like Scott Steiner. You might be lucky to make it to WrestleMania. Oh, my God.  Oh, the racial undertones. Damn, they're not undertones at that point. Racial overtones.  Pisses me off to this day. Hey, what about London? Right? The helicopter we flew in. Fine. Fine. You're right. We did have some pretty good times together. It wasn't all bad. You know what? The best time I ever had in a ring with you guys was when I took a chair and put it in your back. When I stole your moment casting my money in the bank contract. My knee caved out from carrying this company on my back for the better part of last year. But one thing you haven't done is beat me. Good. This segment. I'm talking when I talk, you listen.  Do you understand what I just told you? This is when Stone Cold was a heel.  It sounds to me like you said you don't want to be Stone Cold Steve Austin's friend.  I put your glasses up. Does that make you mad? Interview over. Yeah, all this. This is so good, man. I made you a promise. Daddy was coming home. It looks like he's not. But I'll be your new daddy. It was disrespectful, bro. It was so disrespectful. And this is the radio I'm talking about. This is the radio I'm talking about. Oh, my God. This is so good, bro. Oh, he was so good as a heel. This is and this is our legendary promo. That Vince gave him the OK. Said, say how you feel. This is what I mean about great promos. When you just let the talent just go. Just follow the regulations for the network. Can't go overboard, but just go. Tell me how you feel. It comes off as real and believable.  This is good.  How you stole everything that ECW represented. Stone Cold Steve Austin was drinking his first beer in ECW.   Look at Kaz. He was a man and now he's a fat. This is good. It's crazy seeing Dominic wrestling now.  Dominic wrestling. Oh, my God, with his dad. This one is good, too. This is really good. Listen, he's saying. Oh, man. You'll wait forever in line like sheep all lined up. One like myself very aggressively cut in the front of the line and you'll say, wait a minute, that's not fair. Look at the person sitting next to you. Yeah, look at him.  Go ahead. Look at all of you and you compare yourselves to the beautiful people here in this ring and you say that's not fair. What about Dominic? That's what I really want. That's not fair. Is not fair. I know.   I love that place. But ECW simply didn't love me back. Too much of my heart. I found fame and fortune in WWE. I pulled a sock out of my pants and made Vince McMahon laugh. The doors of opportunity open wide for Mick Foley. Tommy Dreamer can do everything I can and maybe with more passion. You look at Terry Funk and you see an old man. You're not seeing the real Terry Funk. And when he picks up a weapon, he can use it like no man ever has. Tommy Dreamer, the only difference in me and you is I had the guts to go to WWE.  Whoo. This is good. Nothing compared to the hot. Have a nice day. This was good. Has come back. But he was a heel and still so entertaining. He got nuclear heel heat for this. I want to hear this story. Do you it's a little too real for you? Brock wasn't done until the streak was dead. John Bradshaw Leithfield and those two other things that call themselves announcers.  Super W.E.L.A. Famers. And this makes sense. This is number one. This makes sense right here. Oh my. They heat. He was getting and this was such a troll. But that was Ashley. Fantastic. His he knew that he knew they were going to boo him to oblivion. And he he just hammed it up even more man. So comment down below. Let me know what's your favorite heel promo from this video. I'm gonna have to give it to Paul Heyman. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. That promo about them beating the streak was fantastic. So I'm gonna definitely have to give it to him because you know he really hammed it up even more. And it was fantastic. Loved it. But appreciate all love and support road to 70 K. Appreciate you are kicking in with me. See y'all next one. Peace.

But what they then forget to do is when the demand starts to drop and the supply starts to be, or the pressure starts to release, they don't drop that price again. And I think from that perspective, prices are always going to be going up. I mean, we're not going to see a case where cement was 80 grand and it's back to 50 and those days are long gone. Everyone, everyone, all businesses are under pressure.


Sailors wait anxiously for their profile sheets after advancement results are announced. Now that wait is alleviated with a new service from the Navy Advancement Center. This new service enables sailors to receive an email when profile sheets are available. Navy Seabees assigned to U.S. NS Comfort partnered up with members of the Colombian Navy to complete projects during Continuing Promise 2015. Seabees helped Colombian engineers renovate and install new equipment to local schools and a medical clinic in the cities of Wanchaco and Buenaventura. And finally, USS George Washington welcomed distinguished visitors from Japan, Australia and New Zealand during Talisman Sabre 2015. The opportunity to bring high-level government and military officials aboard the ship highlights the strong alliance between the U.S. and other participating countries.

Aaron, what made Garcia so tough in the second game? Well, we're going to get a good cutter-slider combo. He also has a good fastball that'll sneak in there every now and then. He's certainly too many pitches over the heart of the plate. He went out there and did his thing and just really couldn't scratch a rally against him. I still have the best record in baseball, but is it disappointing? Just two games and a lot left to play, but to come out after the break like this? Also how you want to start. But like you said, it's just two games. Now those games are over with, and we got a big series coming up in Baltimore against a hot team. So learn from today, rest up tonight, and get after it tomorrow. Do you learn from your meetings with the Astros during the regular season here? You talking about these past two games or just in general? In general, the 70th grade and the Astros. Do you take anything more from that? I could potentially help you. You should you meet in October? Oh, definitely. You take a lot. I'm not going to give you all the secrets. But they're a good ball club over there, a good ball club with a great pitching staff, their offense, you can't give them extra outs or even make outs on the base path and help them out a little bit. I think back to getting doubled off on Carvernder's ball that he hit right at me. It's a tough break. And then you kind of let them get out of the jam in that first game. But they're a great ball club, and we'll definitely see them down the road. You've been in this ballpark for some tough losses, maybe this same locker even. Do you feel that they're kind of the giant that you guys need to slay? You guys have pretty much teamed or everyone this year. They won the season series 5-2. I know that that doesn't matter come October. But is it giving your head at all that that's a team to knock you guys out of the playoffs a couple of times? And here you guys are the best record in baseball and still have had trouble with them? I'm kind of focused on one of the last things you said that we got the best record in baseball. And like I said, they're a great team. And I'm not going to sit here and dwell on things that happened in the past, no matter what, good or bad. So we'll see what happens down the stretch. But I'm focused on this year. And this team, we've got a good ball club here. We just got to stay within ourselves and focus on ourselves. And I think good things will happen. How important is that best record in the American League and the home field advantage in the playoffs that would go with that to you? That's big time. It's something we're striving for, especially how well we've been playing at home, how rowdy our fans are, how much they support us. It was something that was definitely on our mind. But like I said, if we just focus on what we need to do and control what this team does, we'll take care of that part.


Hi, my name is Liam Rowe, currency trader and trading coach at Trading180.com and in this video I'm going to be covering what I believe to be some of the major pros and cons of applying fundamental and risk sentiment analysis to your technical analysis and one thing I definitely want to make absolutely clear, this is not a polarizing debate as in fundamentals versus technicals right because at the end of the day both have their strengths and weaknesses and you know the best thing to do really in my opinion is to combine both the best of both so I definitely don't want to you know make out like this is you know fundamentals are the be all and end all they work hand in hand here and so I guess if you are a technical trader who is thinking about you know applying fundamentals to your technical trading and I'm assuming that technicals obviously isn't working for you otherwise you really wouldn't be watching this video right if the technicals were you know were working for you so this you realize that there's actually something more than just technical analysis maybe it's something else that you're missing in your trading and whether you know learning the fundamentals can help you with that and it's helped many traders in Trading180 discord group the my mentoring group and you can watch the some of the interviews that I've done there's a link in the in the description box below or there's a maybe a bit of a pop-out that might come up in the top right hand side of the screen anyways let's get into the pros and some of the cons of applying fundamental and this sentiment analysis to your technical analysis trading and whether you really want to write so one of the pros is that you will trade in the same direction as financial institutions not against them in the medium to long term right and what I mean by that is in the short term the market is generally looking for liquidity right so there is a business model and the business model is for the financial institutions big money to be able to transact and for market makers to provide the liquidity at certain prices for for those financial institutions to do transactions right now in the short term the market is very illiquid which means that you will have it can it can seem a bit you know random right as far as you know prices going higher prices going lower but generally over the medium to long term the fundamentals and risk sentiment analysis will always work itself out right and if you don't understand about what we mean about fundamental analysis in forex you know price is generally driven over the medium to long term by certain principles like monetary policy central bank monetary policy which is hiking holding and cutting interest rates because hiking holding cutting interest rates should have the effect of appreciating or depreciating devaluing a currency and it's necessary it doesn't mean that the you know appreciating is good and depreciating is bad in in order to run an economy successfully there are times where you will need a devalued currency and there are times where you will need in a more expensive currency right and the currency to appreciate it's not good or bad so the central banks are generally in the medium to long term influencing the currency through interest rate hikes so and that generally plays itself out over the medium to long term right in the short term as the financial institutions are accumulating the you know you can be long on a currency pair yet price can go down right and it can go down maybe a couple you know hundred pips that doesn't mean that you were wrong about the trade it just means that the the financial institutions are buying for hundreds of pips cheaper and you know if they expected to be maybe a thousand pips higher in the medium to long term right it's just a pullback so you'll always trade in the same directions as the financial institutions not against them over the medium to long term and also you'll understand that value is not always affected in price yeah so price is not value and value is not always the price of things and this comes down to buy low sell high if you understand fundamental principles on why something is a bargain or cheap or fair value rather than it being expensive then your filtering out I guess a lot of you're not really fomoing right you're not gonna fomo because prices of you know you just seen a massive you know green candle or a red candle or bullish candle bearish candle you're not gonna fomo into certain price action because in fact there are times where again due to liquidity yeah let me just draw this out and I should have been drawing this out due to liquidity you can have let's say for example you could be long on the trade right have a long bias and then you see a massive bearish candles how many times have you seen like a massive bearish candle right and then all of a sudden it starts to reverse yeah and that's because or bearish candles or bearish price action and that's because what the financial institutions were doing right if this is pricing this is time yeah what they were doing was while you know traders were following and following into price action going short what they were doing was taking the other side of the trade and buying yeah and then they because they understood the value as prices come down is cheap they're not chasing price all right so with that being said you know it's all about understanding you know the fact that you want to identify value and if you know the value is cheap at the moment and buying low and selling high and sorry going back to you know trading in the same direction as the as the financial institutions this is just some proof as to what you know the financial institutions do right when they come out with their analysis this is ing bank they make forecasts and it's it's based you know their forecasts and and and directional bias are based on what's happening fundamentally right you've got you've got ing bank you've got city bank talk about why they're going to be you know what their bias is what their forecast is what their key levels are and it's all centered around you know central bank policy and risk sentiment all right so it's not you know me Leon Rose saying this and and hypothesizing on what the banks are doing if you you know the internet you can you can look this stuff up and you know the banks tell you what they're actually doing and the banks are not trying to mislead their their their subscribers right they're not trying to be wrong there's a difference between you know mainstream media and and what you know the banks are actually doing right yes there are situations where banks are wrong right not 100% right all the time no one no one is right but the point being is that they base their buying and selling decisions over the medium to long term and even in the short term and can do obviously on their fundamental and risk sentiment bias yeah it's not necessarily driven by you know technical levels technical levels are what we use is just to to try and get into and out of trades right and identifying where potential bargains are anyways applying the correct strategy to the correct market state and this is important right because if you don't understand what the drivers are let's say for example you have a central bank that is looking to high crates right which should appreciate a currency and central bank is looking to cut rates which should be deep appreciate or devalue the currency right because currencies are trading traded in pairs what should happen right again over the medium to long term you should have a trend right if this is for example the the dollar yen right right dollar yen where the dollar is hiking rates and the yen is you know cutting rates for example I mean at the moment they're looking to probably hold rates but you will see this happen right in this trend right now if you understand this and you're trying to trade a you know you got a strategy that you know works really well when you know price action is going sideways and I hesitate to use sideways it's more it's it's an auction right it's a fair value auction is what is actually happening but just from a descriptive perspective you know traders will say a ranging or sideways moving market then you're gonna get crushed right you're gonna you know sell a certain levels and you know maybe not buy a certain levels etc your strategy is just not gonna work and you'll that you're there scratching your head as to why the strategy isn't working when you should understand ultimately that the market is in a trending you know face and similar to that where you have maybe two central banks there might be you know hiking rates at the same time and might all might be cutting rates at the same time or might be holding rates at the same time you should right have a market state where you have a range what's known as a fair value auction right because you know it's a straight in a straight fire it's just a case of it's in the greed value between what's you know where where sellers are and buyers are yeah and and so you know if you if you understand that there's two central banks hiking rates cutting rates or holding rates this is what typically should happen in that environment if you're trying to apply a trend trading strategy to a market fundamentally that is likely to range yeah or auction accumulate phase then it's just not gonna work right but you will never know this you will never have any idea of what is going on if you don't understand what really against the masters of the universe are trying to do with currencies yeah and that you cannot it's impossible to tell what a central bank is doing just by looking at price action so we need the assistance we need the assistance why do anyway if you don't and good for you right but you know I need the assistance of understanding what the central banks are gonna do therefore what the financial institutions are also looking to do right the ings the city banks the mufg's the a and z's the HSBC's the parties of the world's are also going to do right because they look at what the central banks are doing and they look at the fundamentals and risk sentiment yeah so applying the correct strategy technical strategy to the correct market state and also selecting the best currency pairs right that comes down to you know understanding why you should trade the dollar yen and maybe not for example the the the maybe the Aussie dollar US dollar for example if there's two central banks hiking rates maybe you don't want to trade that take that currency pair if you have a trend trading strategy knowing that maybe those two central banks are strong at the moment and then prices might range so you can adjust which is what we constantly have to do be fluid in our decision-making and recognize when things are changing because many traders will have a great you know we'll just luckily you know pick a trend right not understanding the underlying direction for why you know there is maybe for example a long trend today will say something silly like oh this is my favorite pair until all of a sudden you know fundamentally something changes then all of a sudden you get maybe a ranging market and then they get chopped out here and here and here and here and if they didn't know what was going on fundamentally or risk sentiment wise they basically give them back all their their profits from the trend right so you have to be aware or I would say fundamentals make sure aware of that state and it gives you fundamentals and this sentiment analysis gives you the confidence I guess and to hold trades for longer why you know would we ever get out of a trade why would I ever just take a one-to-one trade or scalp when I understand that you know in again the medium to long term a trade could go potentially for hundreds or even thousands of pips right if you don't understand that you know there are again entities essential banks that are actively looking to either you know appreciate or depreciate a currency over the medium to long term to help their economy to help the economy of the country that they're based in taking a trade and only scalping for like you know 20 pips for me is absolute madness right is absolute madness and it's very difficult I guess for traders to to hold trades right if you don't understand what's going on behind the scenes you're just looking at your your your P&L right your profit and loss and you're saying okay well I should you know just just take this profit and then try to get in again at some you know later time right which is and is again there's nothing wrong with that if you want to do that but it makes life a whole lot easier if you can if you manage to buy low for example right and then get in on the trade and then just ride the trend and not have to go through the the the nonsense of trying to reenter trades taking profit re-enter trades taking profits when you can just trail your stop you know behind swings right that's all you're really doing and riding the trend that way so it gives you a lot of confidence and this is not just me saying this this is again if you you know watch the playlist that I've created where I interview traders who have been in the group who are applying fundamental analysis to their technical trading and to my technical trading as well because I do provide technical analysis supply and demand strategies you'll hear them say it as well right it's not just me saying this is it's them you know the people who are just like you watching this video and was wondering whether you should whether they should apply fundamental analysis and they're seeing the benefits of applying fundamental analysis to their technical to technical trading so it gives you the confidence and then helps with the psychology knowing that you've got influences you know you've got a high degree high probability of a trade going for again hundreds of pips and not taking profits too early and then missing out and then foam owing in and not following the strategy right and less is more right so brokers want you to over trade and that is absolute fact that's their business model right they make money on the spread so they want you to over trade and they want you to trade during periods of of illiquidity right I want to trade they want you to trade all hours of the day all hours of the night when ultimately the right trading opportunity in bargains aren't you know don't appear every single day or even every single week right depending on you know what pairs you're actually trading there's always an opportunity to trade always an opportunity to trade you know you can just take a trade right now at this point in time is a biocell trade right but is it the right trade yeah and so trading I'd rather trade you know take maybe 10 trades a month rather than 10 trades a day if those 10 trades a month were high quality higher probability trades in alignment with where the financial institutions or you know may look at that price being an absolute bargain right or the value being a bargain at a certain price and like I said just because you know you're in a price chart right and your your seeing prices come down to maybe a level doesn't mean that that level on a five-minute chart is a bargain right because the financial institutions might be looking at a 200 pit pullback a 300 people back as an absolute bargain so rather than having to trade yeah every single five minute ten minute you know support zone support level for example for your buying opportunity you know with fundamental analysis you understand you know we're looking at maybe high time frames and then zoom in down into the lower time frames you understand that you know what we're at an expensive area right now yeah in fact I'm looking for a bit of a you know a more of a pullback right to maybe some sort of fair value or bargain area and that is where we think that you know that the the financial institutions have done all they're buying and accumulating etc right and then that may be the turnaround point etc so less is more just because again someone's taking more trades than you it doesn't mean that they're making you know more profit than you the number of trades you take there's not equate to the amount of profit you will make somebody could take again ten trades a year right and make you know way more money than someone who's taking a thousand trades a year so you know for me less is more for some people it might not be but if you know you find that you're you haven't got the time to day trade or you know you're you're not focusing and you know you're in a state of confusion sometimes it's best to stop you know take a step back and actually just really observe and see where the higher probability trades are in in relation to fundamental analysis and risk sentiment analysis and then you know move on to and then pick your trades wisely now the cons of applying fundamental analysis right the cons of and again they're probably maybe more than this possibly and probably they there are but these are what I would consider to be probably like the major ones right so the cons of applying fundamental analysis and risk sentiment analysis is that there was no shortcuts there's a there can be a learning curve and learning curve meaning that you know fundamentals can be very overwhelming that you can go down the rabbit hole in terms of the amount of information that you have to filter out right because and even just trying to filter the information is is hard enough but if you you know have a mentor for example someone who's done it you know that filters out the information and it's not just forex that you know whether it's where you're trading you know commodities whether you're trading bonds whether you're trading to stock market there is a fundamental element to to everything because fundamentals really how you derive value so from the perspective of having to learn fundamentals and learning what's important and what's not that there is a learning curve and there are no shortcuts unfortunately if there was a shortcut then you know then then then we'd all be doing it and the reason why traders generally tend to stick to technical analysis it's because a they probably haven't got the time to you know learn fundamentals and most people do want to get rich quick and they do tend to take shortcuts right but there are things there are there are skills in life that just you cannot there are no shortcuts right any high level any high level skill you cannot shortcut your way to being the best at it's just literally as simple as that and also as well patience right you with fundamental analysis and I don't really see this as a as a as a con but some people will with your day trading for example we'll see this as a con and you know patience less opportunities due to directional bias so what do I mean by that with trading and going long and going short at levels technical trading solely right again there are loads of opportunities where prices come up to here and you could get a move to the downside right brilliant you make some money on there if you you know end up losing on that trade then you can you know look for a trade here right and it's just literally looking for levels to trade off of and again for some people that's brilliant for them and trading less actually may be a and having patience to only trade in one direction because we fundamental analysis there's no way in that I'm trading against my fundamental bias right so so for example let's say you know we're on a daily timeframe chart and let's say one of the things that that that can happen and it's happened to me recently right is that I've been trying to buy the dollar I've actually got into the dollar Swiss recently which made them which I'm still in that as it goes and I'm up a good few hundred pips on that one but but sometimes you might you may miss a trade for whatever reason why you might not be around on the chart you might not necessarily get the entry or the setup might not have occurred at a certain level right and if you know you got strong fundamentals you can have you know a a really strong trend and shallow pullbacks whereas you know we're looking for more deeper pullbacks because we're looking for you know bargain opportunities now let's say for example prices start to pull back a bit right and let's say you know there's a maybe a demand zone that I would like to get involved in now traders will look at that as well you should you could have just taken a short trade there down into the zone and then taken a long trade there but for me I don't think that way that's not the way I think I'm just waiting for the price to come to me yeah regardless of whether prices pull back I'm gonna miss out on you know a potential short yeah and that could be again this is a con of fundamental analysis trading whereas traders who are just trading any direction whether they go in long they're going short etc have more opportunities to take that trade but as I said before and because you've got more opportunities doesn't equate to you know more profit right because at the end of the day whether you're going long or going short if I'm right about this trade a fundamental you're right about this trade this goes you know a good few hundred pips even a thousand pips or so and you managed to ride that that trend with traders who trade short term they generally scalp and so they could take maybe you know I don't know they could take maybe 20 trades right and make potentially maybe 150 pips yeah I could take one trade and make you know 400 pips so again it's it's it's it's it's all relative right but the point being is that a con of fundamental analysis is having patience and sometimes this pullback can take you know days weeks and even months right this is time right it could take a month before you get a decent pullback into you know a demand zone or up into a potential you know supply zone right which for some traders and some people when depending on you know your approach to trading and your your expectations can be very frustrating you know people say well how am I going to get rich if you know I'm only taking you know one trade a week or two trades a week the thing is you're not going to get rich taking a thousand trades a week I believe that you know I mean I can tell you that now so so the but the point in trading is really is to understand where the right opportunities for you are and applying you know the fundamental analysis to your trading whether you do or whether you don't right because this is what it's about this is just understanding the pros and the cons of applying fundamental analysis to your trading and whether you want to and in you know my humble opinion you know technical analysis trading if you're still watching this video obviously a loan isn't working for you right it's just as simple as that because if it was you wouldn't be looking at learning fundamental analysis you'd be just getting on with taking trading your technical analysis strategy but you're here for a reason you know and if you're not succeeding with fundamental I should say technical analysis only then you know there's something more that you really have to do and there are people out there that make technical analysis work great for them I wish I could make technical analysis work for me it would make my life a whole lot easier if I could but like I guess the movie The Matrix once your eyes have been opened to the reality of things or my you know a certain reality of how the markets work once you understand the fundamentals you know it there's no moving there's no turning back and also as well with a bit of when I was talking about a learning curve with a learning curve like every learning curve you know if you're down here for example and you're seeing to yourself all my days I've got to climb that steep mountain I don't know you know how I'm gonna you know learn all this stuff once you start learning like riding a bike it starts to become second nature and rather than climbing up a you know a steep mountain you get to the top eventually and it starts to become a lot easier and then you know I wouldn't say you necessarily go on autopilot but you things become automatic right more automatic you're not thinking about things as much as when you were learning again this happens with any skills at the beginning there is a barrier to entry right and that barrier to entry is time and dedication and you regardless of you know how many however many years I've been training fundamental and resentment analysis it's always a level of hard work that needs to go into it but trust me the guys in my group now understand you know all scenarios they can trade in any environment and it does get easier right it does get easier and it doesn't get as difficult to learn you know what to look for and basically filter out the noise so there is some positive you know things around around fundamental and learning even though again have a learning curve and there are no shortcuts there are you know huge benefits to that and again if you did want to watch the the interviews and I say I put interview there but interviews with with some of the guys as well as a playlist number one is with Ken I think I've got maybe about seven or eight interviews with traders in the group and they're all explaining and and they're their experience with fundamentals there you know where we're trading before they join trading 180 and how they apply fundamental analysis trading as well as some of their biggest trades using fundamental analysis anyways guys I hope you found that useful and take care and if you do apply fundamental analysis to your trading I wish you all the best if you don't if you found this this video a bit like oh well you know what the cons outweigh the pros then you know I sincerely wish you all the best of luck with your trading take care and their speech you'll soon
