Hey, everyone. Good morning. Lee Lowell here from smartoptionseller.com. Today is Saturday, September 10th, 2022. We're moving on. Welcome to another edition of our Saturday Synopsis. So what's a smart option seller and what's a Saturday Synopsis? The smart option seller, that's the website that we run, the newsletters that we run. We're all about option selling strategies, selling put options, selling put option credit spreads. I've been in the trading business for 30 years now, over 30 years now. And I've learned that option selling strategies is the way to go. So that's what we do with the smart option seller. The Saturday Synopsis is what you're watching right now. And why are you watching it? Because it's all about chart reading, all about figuring out where stocks are, where they're going or where they may be headed, why they're doing what they do.  And in this case, we're talking about stocks. So if you want to trade options, you have to know where the stocks might be going. In order to do that, you look at the charts and you figure out where a stock might be headed or some support resistance levels or check your technical indicators. So that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to show you what I've been doing over the last 30 years, how I look at charts, how I read how I read stock charts and give you some ideas on how to make your chart reading abilities better. So that's what we do here at the smart at the Saturday synopsis. We look at charts and we figure out where the market's going to go or where it's not going to go. And then we make our trades. That's how we do it in our newsletters. We figure out what's happening with stock prices, stock charts, and then we get into and out of our trade. So I'm here to show you a little bit of what I'm seeing on the charts, what's been happening in the markets, and we just go from there. So let's just jump right in. As we typically do, we always start by looking at the S&P 500 and we use the SPY, the SPY, which is the exchange traded fund for the S&P 500 trades just like a stock. So it's easy to get in and out of at will, you know, all day long, whatever you want to do. So it's a great barometer, great indicator of how the market is doing as a whole.  This is about a two-year time frame. I look at daily charts. So each one of these lines is one day's worth of trading. I look at the open, high, low, closed bars. These are not candlesticks. If you want to look at candlesticks, you could look at something like this. This is what it would look like. These are candlesticks. I don't use candlesticks. Just never really learned how to use them so much. I always stick with the daily, high, low, closed bars. And I look at daily charts because I like to get a longer-term view of the overall market. I play for myself for the long run. I know in the long run stocks go up. Let's look at a monthly chart. So monthly chart of the S&P 500, bottom left to top right, you want to see a stock going up, making this upwards movement over time. That's how you make money in the long run. This is a monthly chart. So each line is one month's worth of trading going back to the early 1990s. Here's the daily chart. This is what I focus on. And what you'll see on my chart, I've got a lot of lines and things marked up here. You can see these channels here. The channel is just one of the simplest ways to see which way price action is trending. In this case, the market was going up. I've got the blue channel and the prices move up and down in that channel. I've got a little channel back this way. I've got a lot of sideways action here. And then around January 1st, 2022, we've been in this downtrend. This has been a long, in-the-tooth bear market. I've got a lot of people frustrated. I get lots of emails from people telling me they can't take it anymore. They can't take seeing their portfolio values going down. Yeah, it's frustrating for sure. We're just so used to the market going up all the time. And we're so used to any pullbacks being very short of nature. And this one started in January and we're still dealing with it in September here. So it's been kind of hard to watch this grind lower. But we try to break it down into more digestible pieces because we do run newsletters here, so we have to make some trades. And so what we look for is times when it's better to get into a trade. We're shorter term in nature. We're probably one to four months out in time for our timeframe, our options trading expirations. We don't trade intraday. We're not daily traders. We're not swing traders. Our hold times a few months. So that gives the market a chance to make its move. And we don't get caught up in the daily fluctuations. Now, why has the market been going down so much over the last eight months or so? Well, we've had a lot of things going on here. The biggest thing in 2022 I think is the rising of interest rates and inflation around the world. And in order to combat inflation, central banks around the world, their biggest tool that they have is to raise interest rates. And that is supposed to cool down inflation. Now, the stock market typically does not like when interest rates goes up because people can sell their stocks and get into fixed income securities that pay a fixed amount. As we know, as interest rates go up, those payments on fixed income securities go up as well. If you start to invest in bonds and CDs and treasuries and other fixed income securities, you're going to get a better rate on your money. So people would like to put their money into those things and take it out of the stock market. At least in theory, that's the thinking. So that's why the stock market will go down. Also, as interest rates rise, taking out loans, borrowing money becomes more expensive because your interest payments become greater because interest rates are going up. And a lot of companies within the stock market have to borrow money at least at first when their company's starting out. So they have to borrow money. And if their costs are rising because their because their loans are costing them more, that means they're going to have slower growth and people might pull their money out of those kinds of stocks because they don't want to buy stocks that are going to have to pay more for their loans. So it's like this cycle that goes on. So the stock market doesn't really like that as an initial reaction. But over time, companies learn to adapt to that. And in the long run, as long as a company is still producing profits and making products that people buy and have increasing profits quarter after quarter, there's no other way for the stock price to go up. A stock price can't go down with a company that's producing profits quarter after quarter. So in the long run, the stocks should go up. Stock prices should go up because the stock market, the S&P 500 itself, is made up of mostly profitable companies. And so really, the stock prices have to go up in the long run. So let's take a look at what's been happening with the S&P 500. I have these channels here also on my charts. I got a couple squiggly lines here. Let's take a quick look. Here's a 200 day moving average right here. We have this blue one here is a 20 day. And this red one here is a 50 day moving average. Sometimes it's hard to see they get jumbled up.  Those are the ones that most people follow. So when most people are following the same thing, the price movements tend to react the same way because everyone's following the same things. And down here, I use the RSI indicator. It's an overbought oversold indicator. It's a 14 day look back period swings up and down. My levels are the 80 level for overbought, 20 level down here for oversold. You can tweak those. You can put them at any level you want. And so what I do on the charts is I look for support and resistance levels. I look how the price action is when it comes in contact with one of the moving averages. What happens? And we draw these channels and other patterns to tell us which way a stock may or may not move in the future. And you're really looking for higher probability trades. That's all you're doing. You know, nothing's guaranteed. If you're going to trade for a living, nothing's guaranteed. No pattern works 100% of the time. What you're trying to do is just make more high probability trades, have your stop losses in, your profit targets in, and that's how you make money in the long run. So let's take a look at what's been happening. As I said, back in January, the market's sort of mostly been in this downtrend. You can see this channel right here that I drew. And we have an upwards channel here. And now we have this downtrending channel right here. You can kind of see the inverted V right here. Okay, that's where the market's at. And we have some support here and some resistance up here. And where we were this week, we had, we started the week down here, coming down a little, bounce on the support right around 390, 390 for the SPY and bounced, you know, this week to the top edge of the downtrending channel right here. So here's where the market finished yesterday, this bar right here. Okay. And we finished near the highs of the day, 460 on the SPY. We had the support right around 390. Why is 390 support at this point? You can see going back a few months, there was a lot of activity right around 390, had some support here. When it came back, went back up, came down, blasted through it. And so when it tried to come up again, it had some resistance at 390. You can see this area right here. Couldn't get through 390 at first. It took one, two, three times, finally blasted up, up, up, up, came in contact with the 200 day moving average right here and the top edge of this channel. So there was a lot of confluence right here that there would be some selling. Got to the top of the channel, you know, was moving up in the channel and hit the 200 day moving, the downsloping 200 day moving average, which is right here, this line. So that was a good place for some people to take profits and it pushed the market down. And then Jerome Powell, the US Federal Reserve Chair, said that the Fed is going to be pretty aggressive raising interest rates. They want to bring this inflation down and, you know, inflation is like eight and a half, 9% in the US. They want to bring it down to their target rate of 2%. That's a far way to go. So it's not going to happen overnight. So they're going to keep rates pretty high for a while until that inflation comes down. So it got knocked back down, knocked back down, got this new channel right here, this down trending channel, then found some support again right around 390, bounced right here, bounced up, getting along the top edge of the channel here. And so for next week, what we're thinking is we've got this 20 day moving average right here. You can see the blue line, okay, right here. This is the 20 day moving average went up now coming down. So here's the price action. Let me zoom in here a little bit. The next line in the sand probably is to touch the 20 day moving average, which is this blue line right here. And that's right around $410 a share. And so it'll pop a possibly pop above this channel, got the down trending channel, when it pop above that hit the 20 day moving average right here, that could be the first stop, 410. The next stop is going to be right around here, this resistance right around 417. Okay, so that's where the market could be going on the upside first to the 20 day moving average around 410. Next stop would be right around here 417 because that was the area of resistance prior over here, here. And so now again, 417, this line right here, 390 down here. So we're in this kind of channel right here. Okay, got the V. You can see the down trending channel. You got the 20 day moving average right here. You got the 50 day, 50 day moving average right here down below. So it kind of bounced, found some support around the 50 day as well. So the market's always moving. And what we're trying to do is just make highly educated, high probability guesses of where the market's going to go. So like I said, got the 20 day around 410, 20 day moving average, and then you got the 417. So that's where I'm looking for it to possibly go next week, keep the momentum from the end of this week, going into next week. Now on the downside, you always have to look at the downside as well. The downside could be if it gets rejected in this area between, you know, 406 to 410, it could come and fall back within the down trending channel, but hopefully find support at 390. Again, find support here. If it falls through 390, then you have to look back to where the rest of the price action was. And that was down in this area between 360, 365 or so, and, you know, 390. So if it falls back down, here's where it's going to find some support. It'll probably drop down into this area. And this leg right here, this last one, this line in the sand, the bottom edge here was right around 362 or so, this bar right here. So we can always draw a line of where the ultimate support could be if it starts to drop some more. So let's keep this on the chart for another week or two, see what happens. Okay. And, you know, that's what we're looking for. We follow the price action, we make the patterns, we make the channels, we see where it's connecting with the moving averages, and just try to make high probability guesses. So once again, it's either going to go up to 410 and then 417 or it's going to drop back down to 390. I'm hoping for the move up because I'm bullish. I have bullish positions. I want the market to move up. All right. So that's what we're seeing for the SPY. Let's look at the Qs. This is the NASDAQ. Same thing. We've got the V shape pattern here. You can see the downtrending channel. Now, the NASDAQ got out and out and above the downtrending channel. Here was yesterday, Friday, September 9th, had a big move yesterday. And here is the 50-day moving average. Got just above that, closed near the highs of the day. So once again, we've got the 20-day moving average lurking above right here, the tip of the 20-day. And then above it is the, got a 200-day up here. But I think the support and or resistance level could be right around 320. So we got some, draw the line here. So the Qs could be looking to get to that 320-ish level, maybe just below it. You can see some support here, some activity here, and then it got up and below in the V here. So look at maybe 318-320 right here as the next area after it hits the 20-day moving average could be that line in the sand. And then you got the 200-day lurking above. So trying to make a prediction on a daily basis is a hard thing. We want to go with the longer term moves. We're hoping that if it can get through all this junk here, get back towards the highs, which was 4-10-ish or so back in November of 2021. I'd like to see that happen. Seasonally, August and September have not been good to the market. September, I think, is the worst month of the year historically. So we got to get through September first. So we may have a lot of sideways action, maybe a little more downside action before we get to the end of the year, which is the really good time of the year seasonally. So got to get through September, but if we can maintain, kind of stick around here, not drop down too far, that would be a good thing. Let's look at the Dow Jones. This is the DIA symbol. For those of you who want to know what the symbol is, I'll move myself over here. DIA, same thing. I haven't drawn the downtrending channel here.  So you can see the V shape as well. These indexes, they all move the same direction. Some a little bit more, some a little bit less. The Dow is only 30 stocks, old stocks, not as erratic as the NASDAQ. So the NASDAQ, the cues will have bigger moves up and down versus the Dow Jones. All right, let's look at some individual stocks. Just to try to see, we're all about trying to make higher probability guesses here on where the market and individual stocks are going to go and then you plan your trades accordingly. What we do with the smart option sellers, we sell put options and we sell put option credit spreads. Why do we do that? Because it gives us lots of room for directional error. When you're trading options, you have to understand you're only going to make money if you predict where the stock is going to go and be at at a certain time. When you buy options contracts, they all have an expiration date. So if the stock does not make the move by the expiration date when you're buying options, you're going to lose money. On the flip side, when you sell options that you don't always, you don't have to predict where the stock is going to be by a certain date. That's not what happens when you, when you sell options in a certain way. The way we do it is we sell out of the money put options, which means we sell strike prices way below where the stock is currently trading. As long as the stock doesn't fall that far, we're going to make money. That's how we, and that's how we make our trades. So we don't have to predict where the stock is going to go. All we have to predict is where the stock isn't going to go. And when you have all this cushion for directional error, then you're going to make higher probability trades. That's what we do. So we're option sellers. So here's Apple. We look at more popular stocks because these are stocks that people are interested in. Apple, same thing. You can kind of see the V shape here, just like the rest of the market. You can put some support resistance levels right around this 150 mark right here. Okay. So that was an area of some support, some prior resistance. You can see bounced here, came through it here, found some resistance here, dropped back down, and then blasted through it. So if it keeps coming down, 150 is going to be an area where it probably trades sideways for a little bit. People are trying to figure out, is it going to go below or is it going to jump off of it and bounce back? So 150 for now, Apple is the next line in the sand. And back here was around 140, was some prior support. You can see bounced off the 140 level way back last summer, 2021. So like I said, it's all about trying to figure out the higher probability scenarios. You got a 20-day moving average, where's my 20-day? 20 days up here, this blue line, sometimes hard to see, I understand. You got the 200-day is here, and you got the 50-day moving average. They're all kind of near each other. So Apple really playing in the channel, 150 next line in the sand. Let's look at Tesla. Now you can see these are congestion patterns. These triangle patterns gives us an idea of a stock that's getting tighter and tighter in their ranges, and then it's going to blast out either higher or lower. Most people are bullish on Tesla. So when you get these congestion patterns, sometimes they're more likely to blast out to the upside, but not always. You can see this one, it came out to the downside, but found the support right on the 50-day moving average here and is bounced back up. So Tesla is one of those stocks that you cannot hold down for a long period of time. Still, it's right around the $300 mark. They had their three-for-one split recently, so that would have been $900 pre-split. So Tesla hanging around, you can see the $300 level is just ups and downs around this area. That's where it seems to be finding the equilibrium right around the $300 level. It's above it, below it, above it, below it, and now it's sitting right on it. So Tesla is one of those stocks that's really hard to really come up with a game plan because it's very erratic. People are perma-bulls on Tesla. So I stay away for the most part for our newsletter. I'll sell some way deep out of the money, put options on Tesla every now and again, but it's kind of hanging around here. Whichever way the overall market is going to go, the stocks will fall because most stocks don't have news items that's going to jerk the movement around on a daily basis. So they have to, for the most part, fall the indexes. So Tesla, right around $300, above and below, can't really get a gauge on what's happening there. Let's take a look at Amazon. Amazon, we had the support right just above $100. You can see how it bounced many times off of that. Has sort of the W pattern here. Not that great, but you get a W pattern on the lows. Once it breaks the middle point, it can go higher. So as it was coming up here, we had the air pocket here. So it did blast above, hit the $200 day and it's now falling down, but finding support right on the 50-day moving average right here. Got the 20-day lurking above. So Amazon's kind of stuck in this range right here. Still about $100 a share as support. Not much going on there. Let's see what other stocks we have. What do we usually look at? AMD. AMD is a stock that we're playing in our newsletters. We sold some put options on, put option credit spreads. So I love the chip sector. That's AMD and Vidia to a lesser degree. Intel will look at those stocks, but the chip stocks have been really coming down since that December, January period, just been in this big channel. It's been hard for me to understand because these are stocks that are going to drive the economy for a long period of time. We need computer chips. We need these companies driving the computers. So these chip stocks have really taken it on the chin since December or so. Was in the downtrending channel, popped above it here. This was an area. This is when we got into our put-sell trade and it just started to come off again. Now the good thing for us is that we play down here. We still have cushion. For people that bought at $100, now it's at $80. They've lost $20 a share. That's a big move. We haven't lost that much on our put-sell positions. We're underwater a little bit, but not nearly to the level if you're buying shares of stock or buying call options. So that's why we like to sell put options. Gives us lots of room for error. Now AMD, you can see here's the top edge of the channel. Got back below it this week, but then yesterday, Friday, September 9th, popped above the channel. Here's where we finished. Finished on the highs of the day. So I'm hoping maybe AMD has found its footing down here and is getting ready to go up for good. So we'll see that. Let's look at this is NVIDIA. Okay. If I don't have it written down, you can see up here in the top left corner, this is NVIDIA. Also in this big down trending channel, you can just draw a line from the tops here. You can just see the way that it's moving. So it's got a lot of resistance above unfortunately. Down here seem to be a 135 or so line in the sand. Some support here. I want to see NVIDIA has got a long way to go. It's down in the dumps. Let's look at Intel. I'm not a fan of Intel since the past few years when AMD really took over. Here's the, let's look at the monthly chart for Intel.  And then with COVID it and then 2021 just got nailed here. But here's the 200 month moving average right here has fallen below it now. So I'm not a huge fan of Intel much anymore. I'm more of AMD. We can even look at Micron even in this down trending channel as well. So the chip stocks really taking it on the chin for now. I like to see them start to move higher. I'm patient. I know in the long run they'll go up. In our newsletter we're waiting for the turnaround as well. So that's the chip stocks. What else? Let's look at Walmart. This is Walmart. This 110 level, it got really oversold here on the RSI, bought in some shares, had a chance again, and then it finally bounced right in this area.  But you can see it's in the up trending channel. We want stocks that are in an up trending channel. When it's time to get in, we wait for, we look for the bounce off the lower edge of the channel. When it starts to bounce, then that's our cue to get in because the momentum is going upwards. Right now it's finding some resistance right here at the 200 day moving average. And we'll see if it could blast through it and head towards the top edge of the up trending channel. So you can use the bounces and off the bottom as your timing pattern to get into a bullish trade. And then when it comes up to the top edge, you either decide to get out if you're holding for the short term, you can get out or just wait. As it bounces, it's still moving in an upward direction.   Okay, Disney, one of my favorites, been down in the dumps as well, just been heading down lower, lower, lower, maybe finding some footing here, but still has a long way to go. Here's a 200 day downsloping 200 days. So that's going to add a lot of resistance if it does come up to here. So we'll see what it does in due time. Let's see what other stocks we have that are worth looking at. Microsoft has been in this downtrending channel as well. I mean, obviously, since January, many stocks have been in a downtrending channel. That's just how it is. If the overall market's going down, most stocks are going down as well. This is Microsoft you can see up here in the downtrending channel. So are there stocks that have been going up? What stocks do go up? Well, there's some certain categories of stocks. Utility companies, I use this as an example. This is consolidated as an ED, ED is the symbol. This is utility company in the state of New York or in the northeast that has sort of bucked the trend. There are certain sectors, utilities, one of them that will go up in times of turmoil. You can see since this is March of 2021 just basically been going up, up, up, up, up, up, whereas the rest of the market's been going down. So that's Edison. Companies like, let's look at, let's see, some companies, this is Colgate. So you're looking for products, companies that we're going to buy stuff from regardless of our situation, things that we need on a daily basis. Now this is Colgate. They make a lot of products that we use. It's just been sort of sideways action. So not going down, not going up. So not too bad. If you're going to find a stock that is going sideways, you want to at least have a high dividend paying company because while the stock's going sideways, at least you're getting some dividends. Coca-Cola, we always talk about. Same thing, bottom left to top right. Coca-Cola has been a great company for a very long period of time. We can look at the monthly chart. Let's look at the monthly. Over time, Coca-Cola goes up. Great dividend paying company, Pepsi as well. Great dividend paying company. I mean, just look at the chart. Just look at the chart. Because these are the kind of companies you want to focus on for the long run. On a daily basis, you try to figure out timing-wise, when can I get in? When can I get in? Well, then you look for whether they're bouncing off a moving average. We got a 200-day moving average right here. Pepsi coming down right to the 200-day moving average not that long ago. So you can time your trades. If you're going hold for a long term and buy on a bounce off a 200-day moving average, the timing's better. But if you're holding for 10 years, does it matter if you buy it 170 or 175? Not really. But if you're looking to squeeze a few extra dollars out of it, wait for a pullback to a major moving average, like a 200-day. Even on Coca-Cola, the 200-day moving average has always seemed to have been the line in the sand where you can get some good support here, here, here, and here. Just recently, just like Pepsi, bouncing right on the 200-day moving average kind of has this triangle congestion pattern as well. So these are some things to look for for a longer term basis. These have been going up while a lot of other companies have been going down. Clorox was doing well at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, up, up, up, up, up, and then it just hit a resistance point down, down, down, down, down. Had some sideways action down more. So Clorox finding here's the 200-day bouncing or finding resistance right there. If you can get through it, it'll probably go back up. So keep an eye on Clorox. I always look at, this is Verizon. Once again, you can see up top here, the symbol VZ. I want to buy into Verizon, but it's just still going down, down, down. Let's look at the monthly for Verizon. It has fallen below the 200-month moving average. That's a big deal. Where is the next line of support? Maybe between 35 and 40 right here, you got to go back in time and look to see where the last period of congestion was. This had a big down move here. I'm not really sure what that was. So between 35 and 40, maybe an area where I maybe nibble, I don't know yet, but you're not with a stock that looks like this. Top left to bottom right is not a stock that you want to get involved with because it just has the momentum lower. Trying to pick bottoms on a stock that's doing that could be a hard thing because you'd be picking bottoms for a long time. For a company like Coca-Cola, trying to pick a bottom, you have a better chance because it's been going up in the long run. So buying on a dip for a company like Coke is a better opportunity for buying on the way down. With the SPY, what I do is I nibble on the way down because I know in the long run, the whole market itself is going to be going up over time. So I buy little bits and pieces on the way down waiting for that eventual long-term movement to the upside. Let's look at some other individual companies and then we'll call it quits. Where are we here? Up here, Nike kind of down in the dumps as well, but it's a stalwart. It's a name brand company that is known around the world. Do you think Nike's going to stay down forever? Probably not, but you have to decide when it may be a good time for you to get in. Oracle Netflix, we can talk about Netflix. As I drew this line recently, here's support seems to be that it can't get through. Maybe this is, I don't know, maybe $216-$17, roughly, finding some support. Here's the 20-day moving average, so it's right around there. It's got a long way to go. Has the 200-day moving average lurking above. It's got this air pocket here, another air pocket here. So Netflix has a long way to go, but it may have finally found some support there. What else do we want to look at? Got the healthcare companies Bristol Myers. We took a put-sell trade on Bristol Myers. Why did we do that? Because as we know, the stock's going up, pulling back, got pretty oversold here, had the air pocket. We sold some puts right here, and this is a bullish strategy. So we want to try to find a bottom, and it's just rallied since. So that was a good trade for us, working out pretty well for us, Bristol Myers. But we like the healthcare industry. The XLV is the exchange-traded fund for all the big pharma and healthcare companies. Been moving sideways for a while. Let's look at, we look at Warren Buffett as well each week. He's worth, I don't even know, $120 billion at this point, maybe more. So we all know Warren Buffett, and I show this to you every week. Let's go back to our website here real quick. Oh, before I talk about Warren Buffett, let's talk about the put-selling basics e-book. We're all about put-selling here as a smart option seller. We sell options. That's what we do. And if you want to learn what put-selling is all about, why we love it so much, why is it such a great strategy, go to our website, smartoptionseller.com, click on the put-selling basics link, and you get a little introduction to it. Put your name and email address in here. You'll get an email from us and download the e-book. Also, Warren Buffett, the shop tab right here. We can go, here's a special report that I wrote, a different options trading strategy on how to buy Warren Buffett for pennies on the dollar. It's a different options trading strategy. But if you want to take advantage of piggybacking Warren Buffett in the long run, let's see how he's done in the long run. He's done pretty well. You can piggyback him, get into all his plays for a fraction of the cost. Okay. So that's Warren Buffett. What else? And Warren Buffett also sells put options just to let you know. So he's a big put option seller as well. What other stocks? PayPal, still kind of down in the dumps, but maybe finding some support down here in the $70 range. It's got to get above the 20-day moving average. Got the big down trending 200-day moving average above it. So it's kind of maybe finding some footing there. We don't have any plays on PayPal. And what else? Costco, doing okay. McDonald's, Twitter, nothing happening. Twitter, they're still fighting it out in court. Meta, Facebook still in this channel down here. It's got to break above or below before the next major move happens. And I think that's about it. That's about it. One other thing, GlaxoSmith Climb, another healthcare stock. Look how oversold this sucker is. We talked about, I think I talked about this last week, way oversold. It can't maintain this type of trajectory without some kind of bounce. I purchased some shares down here when it got oversold. This is a long-term, high-quality pharma company. Yes, it has moved sideways, but it really hasn't traded below $30 on a continual basis since the mid-1990s. So I'm banking on support here holding and like to see Glaxo get back to the upside in due time. All right, I think that's about it for the smart option seller Saturday Synopsis. Just showing you what I'm seeing on the charts, things that we look for. We look for bounces on the lower edge of a channel or off a moving average as a way to time our trades better. You just want to make higher probability trades. And if you're trading options, you have to understand the underlying stock that you're trading those options on. So give yourself a leg up. Understand these patterns. Understand where stock is in its cycle. Is it an up-trending channel or a down-trending channel that'll help you make better decisions than just blindly trying to trade options without understanding what stock reading is all about. All right, once again, we'll go back to our website, smartopsonseller.com. Right here, our services tab. Here's our two newsletters. Hover your mouse here. Smartopsonseller newsletter, vertical spread trader newsletter, and our one-on-one coaching, if you need some help, just learning more about options. And so I think that's about it for today. Hope this video has been helpful to you. Leave me a comment. Give me a thumbs up. Don't forget to subscribe to this channel. Hit that red subscribe button. Send me an email. I'll always answer. I'm here to help. I've been in this business a long time. I want everyone to become better and smarter options traders. Okay, that's all for me today. And I hope everyone has a great weekend. And I'll try to see you back here next Saturday. This is Lee Lowell signing off.

Hello everybody. Andrea Mayesca here with dental tutoring. In the video today I want to talk to you guys about soft deposits because I still find students tend to get them confused. So we're going to talk about the difference between plaque and charter and what exactly happens. Because even when you start to work patients will ask you things that you may think is obvious, but they will ask you things like so what is plaque exactly. And you don't want to go it's the white stuff on your teeth you know how else do you explain that right so I will be going in depth a little bit more for you so I'm just going to share my screen here. If you're a member inside the dental hygiene or the dental assisting courses so if you are a dental member this is what the PowerPoint looks like. And I'll just quickly show you inside one of the courses so depending on the course that you are in this membership login area may look a little bit different to you. But it is under the disease prevention one right here so you just have to click that and then it's labeled soft deposits here. Okay, so I just wanted to show you guys that but if you're not a member, feel free to sign up to get sort of the whole PowerPoint and to get a lot more because I'm just going to go through a little bit of it today. Okay, so plaque first and foremost, those are your soft deposits, even as you are cleaning teeth, sometimes plaque can be quite thin and sometimes plaque can be thicker. So you might mistake thicker plaque as being hard, but it's not okay to keep it simple plaque always forms first okay first you have your pellicle after you eat drink anything like that literally starts to form within a second. But then plaque comes after that so if you're not brushing twice a day. If you're not flossing every day that plaque becomes thicker and thicker and thicker and what I tell our patients is I do tell them that you know you want to limit that plaque as much as possible so that is why we always say to brush at least twice a day and to use the floss every day because if you're not that plaque then becomes hard and the hard tartar you cannot take off with your instrument so that's what I say. So to get more in depth so plaque is a dense non mineralized mass of bacteria pretty much in a inter microbial matrix so tell your patients that plaque harbors bacteria. So when they're not brushing twice a day when they're not using the floss that is bacteria sitting there okay if you had bacteria on your arm or if you decided to not wash your hands all day it's the same thing that bacteria just sits there and you don't want that so you can have plaque above the gum line and underneath the gum line as well. So even if a patient has pockets of maybe a one or two that is still having that plaque underneath in that area okay so just something to keep in mind. So yeah so I do talk about the pellicle which I did mention a little bit so a lot of patients will say well I brush you know I do everything that I'm supposed to do so should I then not have plaque ever. So let them know that there's a pellicle that forms right away so if we eat drink anything it just sort of happens within a second. So there's no bacteria in that but it makes it a lot easier for plaque to attach onto the teeth so technically the plaque isn't attaching to our enamel but it's attaching to the pellicle on the enamel. So if you want to talk about that with your patients if they're still like okay wait a minute so if I floss every day if I brush twice a day why do I have plaque you know then I like to mention the pellicle and then they go oh okay. So if you have saliva it's just easier for that pellicle to form but at the same time your pellicle helps to protect the teeth also against eating and drinking because we tend to eat and drink things that are quite acidic right. So it does help to protect but it can harm too. So it does help to protect in protecting our enamel against the harsh you know environments that we tend to eat and drink and expose the mouth to. But then it does it does harm us because it allows plaque to attach plaque is what harbors bacteria if plaque stays there it turns into tartar so it's kind of like a good thing and a bad thing. So then stage two so this is where things start to grow you know per se and this is when the bacteria happens so anytime we are eating something so think specifically grand positive bacteria. So that is stage two so this is still talking about your pellicle so as soon as the pellicle starts to form stage one pretty much there's no bacteria but then stage two it it's you know thicker and then it does have bacteria grand positive to be specific and then stage three it gets thicker and thicker and that is when plaque starts to form so I made it a little bit easier here. Something to memorize for the board exam all of the members have this but feel free to stop the video if you would like to look a little bit further. Sub gingival so yes it can go underneath the gum line as soon as that happens it tends to be more grand negative so something else to look at there's still a mix of grand positive in there but as soon as it goes to be grand or sorry underneath the and it's more grand negative now if the plaque stays on there depends on the textbook you read it could be 24 hours it could be 12 hours it could be 72 hours that forms calculus forms charter and then plaque forms on top of calculus and then there's more calculus it's just a big mess right. So I tell patients that calculus calculus you cannot take off with your toothbrush so no matter how hard you try if it gets to that point. You need to come to the dentist to see us to actually take it off because if it stays there. That's a lot of bacteria and then the plaque forms on top of that and then more bacteria yucky right so it's just not a nice thing. And I made a note here that if a patient's using an anti tartar toothpaste so they do help because they have higher levels. I have that right here of pirated pyrophosphate so usually in the toothpaste it says some type of pyrophosphate that just helps they say. To I guess break down the tartar a little bit more or or it helps to prevent it from forming in the first place but the thing about those toothpaste is that a lot of patients tend to be allergic to them. That's what they're starting to find. So their gums actually get more red because they might actually be having a reaction to the toothpaste. So yes they might be having less tartar but then they come to see you and their gums are red and you're thinking okay why are the gums red when the plaque and tartar is actually minimal. So that could be happening. So I tend to only suggest that type of toothpaste to somebody who's like they need to come in every three months they have a lot of plaque a lot of tartar then that might help with that. So just something to make note of that those anti-calculus toothpaste do have the pyrophosphate in them okay. So calculus can form of course above the gum line and then underneath as well. Read over this if you like but those are just kind of the main points. So calculus attachment so it does attach onto plaque of course okay and it can attach anywhere. So I have seen tartar on the occlusal surfaces where you might not think there's plaque there but there is even just a little bit. So it does like to attach to anything and I'll let you guys read this over if you like. Once again if you are a member you have all of this but it just sort of goes more in depth of the pellicle of plaque how it starts how it continues how it gets thicker. And then I do talk about if a patient's just having such a hard time with their oral health then we might have to take it a step further and suggest other things such as antibiotics to go underneath the gum line. So I will let you guys read through that if you like. So there's tons of things in this unit here. I made them as simple as possible to kind of read through because you do have all of this in your textbook. But I have 16 slides here whereas in the textbook it was probably two chapters and you don't need to know all of that for the board exam. But at the same time if you've been looking at those two chapters like two or three depending on the textbook you read. You might need this to sort of bring it all into play you know because it's one thing to read those chapters and then to go OK I don't even know what I just read. You know read this first to get an idea and then feel free to go back to the to the chapters to kind of read that that over and then you will probably say oh now it's starting to make more sense. So I hope this helped you know plaque, tartar, what happens and to just make it easier to explain to your patients as well. So if you guys need anything let me know and thank you so much for watching. I am uploading videos at least twice a week now so if you guys need to need me to talk about anything in particular if you need help with something let me know. And thank you guys so much for watching. I will see you in the next one.


Oh my god, that thing looks terrifying! Okay, here we go!  Realistic Gaming here. Today we're gonna be playing Granny 2. Because they have updated the game, which is pretty awesome. And it is gonna keep getting updated. So expect more of these Granny 2 videos. And if we could get this video to a thousand likes, that would be awesome. Okay, so let's begin with this. Oh god. Oh, it seems like we got a little cutscene. Oh god, is that Granny? What is Granny doing there, man? Uh-oh. Wait, where do we turn? Dude, she's gone! Wait, I can see her bat floating there in midair though. Okay, oh, don't look back! Oh! Oh god, Granny got us! Okay, so it seems like we came across Granny's house in the forest. And she was just chilling outside the door. And she caught us. She caught us slipping, man. So now we're inside Granny's house. Okay, so after flashlight, yes.  Oh, we could open the window. Oh! Can we jump out? Let me out of here. I'll jump out of here if I can, but I guess we can. Okay, so let's go explore the house. Okay, so let's see what's new about this. Open this. Okay. I mean, the graphics seem to be getting better and better, man. Which is pretty cool. Okay, so, oh, blood in the toilet, low. Okay, oh, there's a hammer here. Oh, I cannot read that, but... Oh, okay, so we grab the hammer. So let's go break those boards up there. Okay, now know that the cool thing is that you can actually run here. Oh god. Hey, move out of the way, man. Just knocked them over. Okay, so how do we break these down? Okay, we just swing at them. This is pretty weird, but okay, it's working here. Oh god, okay. Oh my god, look, and then they added slenderina's crib. Okay, so we grab one of these to cross over. Dude, this is legit, man. Okay, oh god, this is not going to work out. Oh, yay! Where did that even come from? Okay, let's try to fix this here.  This thing has a mind of its own. Oh god, okay, can we grab this thing? I just want to get across, man. What? Dude, we're like floating on it. Oh, that would be awesome. We could cross it, though. Oh my god, that did not go as planned. What is that? Okay, let's grab another plank so we can cross over there. I mean, if there's even anything over there for us, let's just try to cross it. Okay, oh, keep it steady. Okay, let's fix this thing over here. Let's put it down quick for a second. Oh! No! No! Oh my god, okay, that is not going to work out, man. Okay, so let's just zoom in here. What did we see? Okay, so the wheelchair is knocked over in there. I don't think there's anything in there for us to grab. Okay, let's just try it one more time. Third time is a charm. We've got it. Okay, let's just drop this here. Let's set it down on the ground. Six and a half hours later. I think we got it here, you guys. There you go. Finally. Geez. How did that even manage to hold? I have a feeling like it's going to fall if we go on that. Can we fix this? Whatever, man. Okay, so here we are. Wait, it's locked. You've got to be kidding me. We did all that just to come across the locked door. Okay, so we can put slenderina. We have to get the teddy bear. We have to put it in the crib. The slenderina will come out, you guys. So we have to find the teddy bear. Where's the teddy bear at? Another teddy bear somewhere around here. I've seen it. I actually forgot where it actually spawns. Okay, be careful with the traps. Let's drop the hanger. Drop the hanger on the trap. There you go. Okay, it's so dark in here, man. What is that? It's a TV? Oh god, it's the camera in the first room where we spawned. Okay, there's a paper here. It says, this grandmother went mad. She hit me on the head with the bat. As soon as I stopped by the car, I've been here for four days. I have strong blading. I try to help for help. But communication, unfortunately, is a present. Oh god, so it seems like this guy was in danger. Granny beat him pretty bad. Okay, there's a phone here. But it doesn't work. Okay, let's go find that teddy bear now. I swear, I saw that teddy bear somewhere. Let's go downstairs. Oh, let's drop those. Oh, there you go. Voila. Let's get the traps out of the way because I do not want to get hit by one of those traps. Oh, look, there's a teddy bear. Okay, so let's grab the teddy bear. Now we're going to go back and put it in the crib and Slenderina's going to come out, you guys. Get ready. Oh my god. Okay, where's it? No, wrong room. Here it is. And here's the moment where Slenderina comes out. And there you go. Oh, hey, what's up, Slenderina?  Dude, look at her face.  Is she going to jump scare us? Hopefully not. Okay, guys, not. She just disappeared. That was pretty cool, I guess. Okay, so let's go down here. Okay, so now we have to find the key. Where is this key at, huh? Well, let's go through the kitchen again. Because we didn't go through all the counters. Oh, what is that? Health kit? Okay, we'll be needing that later, I guess. Oh, a radio. Seems like whatever. So let's open these. Man, there's really nothing here. What about the microwave? Wow. Who would store a key in the microwave, man? Okay, so now what is this key for, though? It says yard key. Okay, so is that a quip? Okay, I guess we quipped it to ourselves. And now how do we open this? It's locked in you the key. We have the key. What are you talking about? Okay, oh. So apparently I know how to read Russian or German, whatever that is. Okay, so now we're outside in the yard. Okay, what is this? Open door. Okay, oh, nothing moved. Okay, so I don't get it why those things can't move yet. I mean, we can't crouch yet, so we can't go in there. Wait, is that a key? My god, you can barely even see it because of the light. So yeah, maybe next update they might update it so we can actually crouch in the tunnels because I mean, what's the whole purpose of the tunnels if you can't use them? Okay, so we've got this key. What is it for? Is it safe? Okay, so now we have to go downstairs to the attic and find, oh god. Careful with the trap. We have to find the safe. Where is the safe? Here it is. Okay, so now we need the key. Let's pop the key out. Okay, we press here and it should open. Voila. Okay, another key. My god, we're doing all this just to get key after key, man.  Okay, so what key is that for? It says barn key. Okay, so let's go to the barn. Oh yeah, there was a door that I saw at the barn. That was closed. Okay, let's grab this candle and throw it on the trap. Uh-oh, we missed there. No, sit on the trap. There you go. Okay, so we should be clear from that trap now. Is there anything here? Nope. Okay, what's over here? Oh god, what is that? Dude, that is freaky, man. Okay, let's get out of here. So let's head out to the barn and open this door. Then we got the key for. Okay, so let's go here and let's get the key out. We press that one. Oh wait, it didn't work. I guess we have to click on it. Man, this should open. All right.  There's two chickens. Why is there chickens here? Can we grab this thing? Oh god, we can make it spin like crazy.  Okay, let's put him down. I think that's enough. He's had enough of that. Okay, so there's like a power box here. Do we go up to it? Oh, what does that even mean? I don't know what that meant, but I heard a click sound go off. So something happened. Okay. Oh my god. What is that? Wait, is that us right there on the TV? It's that camera right there. What? It's not even looking at us. Oh, there it is. Oh my god, that's weird. Okay. Oh, there's a key right here. What is this for? Oh, there's a trap. Let's just set it off so in case, you know, you can never be too safe. So let's just set that trap off. Oh, that was close. Oh my god, it could have cut off her hand there. Okay, so let's check what that key was for. It says car key. Okay, so now we have to go to the car because we found the key to it. Hopefully those traps don't reset because if they do, I'm just gonna keep walking like they already set off and I'm gonna get caught on one of them. Okay, so now what? We go down here. Where's the car? There's nothing in the sound of room. Okay, so where the garage door open? Okay, they did. Nice. Okay, so now we got the key for the car. Now let's open the car up. One, two, three, and that should open the car. What is that? Oh, that's the special key that we need for that one room. I mean for that door. Oh god, though.  Okay, so let's go explore outside real quick. What is that over here? Oh my god, I see something over there. What is that? Can't make of it. Okay, let's get a little closer. Oh! Okay, and the gate opened. That's new. That wasn't here in the past. Last time we played it. Oh my god, it's a cow. Oh no, what happened to Mr. Moon? My god. Where's some peace to him, man? Can we take this to fight Granny? No, we cannot. Man, that would have been an awesome weapon. Okay, so I don't know if I want to go to the woods because it's pretty dark out here. You really can't see a thing. But here goes nothing, man. Oh god, it's all dark. I don't even know where we're headed after. We're just going, you know? Hopefully it'll take us somewhere. It's not a dead end. Oh god, be careful with the lake. Okay, can we cross this? Okay, we can't cross it. Wait, is this thing going to take us back to the... Or maybe they updated it. Remember last time there was like some tombs back here? Okay, so we're back to the tombs. The slender man is still there. Oh god. Oh my lord, it disappeared. Okay, so now what? Is there anything new that they did to this side? I mean, it all looks the same to me. It's all like, wait, what? This pole wasn't here the other time. So I guess it's the same. But I guess not really because they took off the grave. There was a grave that was like dug up. But it's not here anymore. So I guess let's go back to the house. Oh god, I don't know where I'm going to. All right, there you go. Wait, nope. Dude, where's the pole at? Oh, there it is. I was trying to look for the plank to get across. I couldn't find it. Okay, I was about to say where it's at, but it says getting tired. Dude, I feel like I hear something. Maybe I'm just getting paranoid. Okay, so let's go back to the house. Can you guys... Come on, stop getting tired, man. Okay, everything seems good. Oh, there's a ladder now. What? That wasn't here before? Okay, let's go up the ladder. Where does this even take us? Another ladder? Oh god. What in the world? This is help. Okay, what do we do from here? Oh, it's like a shortcut back, I guess. Oh my god, this is pretty cool, man. Oh, there's the window. Wait, what room is that? I can't really see. Is that the kitchen room? I think it is. Okay, so it says help, but it's red and red. It might be blood, in fact, but I don't know, man. Let's go back in the house. That was pretty cool, so it seems like there's going to be major things coming to this game. So we will keep playing this over and over until they stop updating it. Oh god. Okay, so where were we at? Oh yeah, we had a key, I believe. Oh no, we had the special key. Okay, let's equip this bad boy. Let's go back upstairs and use the special key on that one weird looking door. Oh no, that leads us to this granny spider pet. Oh my god. Hopefully they did an atom. Okay, well I mean, hopefully they did. It would seem to be pretty cool if they did, but there goes nothing. Okay, open sesame. Oh my god, there was a trap there. I had no idea. Did you guys see the spider pet? Okay, let's heal ourselves real quick. Wait, can we shoot the spider pet? Because I know it's probably going to come out rushing at us. I'm going to bring the crossbow out. Where's my crossbow? Wait, there it is. Oh my god, that thing looks terrifying. Okay, no. Oh, he got us. No, that wasn't supposed to happen. Oh my god, we just died to the spider pet. Okay you guys, so we're back here to the granny spider pet. Hopefully this time we'll survive it, but I'm not so sure how. Oh god. Okay, we got to be careful with this trap right here. Wait, where's my crossbow? Let's equip our crossbow back. I do not trust this spider pet at all. Can we activate it? Nope, that does not work. Okay, so how do we get around this?  Seems like we can't harm the spider pet. My god. What is that? Oh, that's his food right there. Yo. Yo, my boy. You good in there? Oh my god, I don't want to get close to this thing, man. We need to get there. We need to go to that cabinet right there. How do we avoid this? How do we avoid this? Oh, I think we have to go behind it, right?  I'm so scared. Are you going to come over here? Can't take this object. Wait, can we throw it at him? Can we feed it to him so he can leave us alone? Oh no. Did we just run across? Okay, he's right there eating his meat. Let's get out of here. Grab the key. Let's grab the key and get out of here before he turns back and jumps on us. Oh god. Okay, so we grabbed the key. What was this key for? The master key. We can get out of here. What's up for all? Okay, but before we get out of here, I don't think I explored the rest of the house. So let's explore the rest of the house. Oh my god, there's a trap there. Nope. I am going around. I am taking the safe route because I do not want to get trapped. Let's just drop this hanger on it. Yep, thank you. Okay, so let's go down here in case they update it down here. So we won't miss it. Anything in here? No. Okay. Oh! Okay, so that door still shuts. Oh my god. What? Somebody's peeking. Okay, whatever, man. Okay, so there's nothing here. Okay, I'm not going to... Okay, let's just go down here real quick and check. Nope, there's nothing here, man. So they haven't updated anything down here on this side yet. Maybe for the next update, they will. Okay, so now let's go use the master key. Hopefully we can use it to get out of here. Oh god. Oh yeah, I forgot to open that door, huh? Let's just do it for old's sake. Okay, let's go in here. How's it going, girl? All right, yep. All right, see you later, alligator. Okay, so let's go over here. Oh! I think she moved. Dude, I think Granny moved from there. Oh, she's gone. Okay, it's my turn to go up here. My turn. Granny, where are you at? Okay, she's not going to come for us. Let's just get out of here. Let's go use the red key to open up the main door. I don't know, man. I kind of have a little bad feeling about this, but here goes nothing. Okay, how do we equip our key? Use it. Oh, there you go. Oh god. And I'll be back soon. Well, I'm leaving. I'm not going to wait for you. I'm out. Oh! What? Dude, what is Granny? She's walking towards it. No! Run! Oh god, can we run? Run faster, man. I know you can do it. Oh my god, she's right behind us.  Okay, let's just keep going. Dude, this is like an endless hallway. Oh, I see a light. Oh, there's an exit. Yes. Oh my god, I don't see her anymore, you guys. Oh, never mind, she's right behind us. Okay, so we escaped. I think we made it. We escaped out of Granny's house at the end. So we got out of there safe and sound. Wow, this is pretty cool, alright. Well, this is Granny to you guys. I'm going to keep doing more videos on this game because they are going to keep updating and updating it as you guys seen compared to the last time we played it. It had more stuff to it, which is pretty darn awesome. Alright you guys, well thank you guys for watching. Thank you guys for the amazing support.

I started by practicing in the mirror, mulling words I could barely entrust my reflection, rehearsing conversations, imagining reactions. The pull toward wholeness for me was backbreaking, but I know, I know freedom tastes best in a crowded room where everyone is generously welcomed where food and music and love are piled high. I owe my liberation to so many, to poets, storytellers, preachers, friends and activists for words that long haunted me do know more.


Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Drum History News. Today is an exciting one. It is about a robbery that happened at the Gretch factory in the 1920s. And what's really cool about this article is I shared it with Lucas Von Gretch, who is in the Gretch family and was my guest on the podcast this week to do an episode all about the history of the company. And he said no one in his family or at the company had heard of this incident. So pretty neat that this is like being unearthed for the first time in almost 100 years. So this one is from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in Brooklyn, New York in 1927. It says, police net closing on Bandit Gang for Gretch Co hold up arrest of three who got $1100 after cutting telephone wires expected soon. The police momentarily expect to capture the three bandits who held up the office of the Gretch manufacturing company at 60 Broadway Monday afternoon, obtained $1100 and got away in a blue automobile. Donald Pendleton, credit manager of the firm, who was one of 16, I think that's what that number is, persons in the office when the hold up was carried out, visited police headquarters this morning and looked over the prisoners arrested for other robberies but was unable to identify them. E.P. Ockert, the cashier had just received $2,200 that afternoon for the payroll. It was in an armored car from the manufacturer's trust company. About half of this had been distributed when the two men walked in the office. Both carried six shooters and one standing at one end of the office ordered the other to thrust a threatening muzzle into Pendleton's face. Where's the payroll, he asked. Pendleton didn't know. Where is it? The bandit repeated turning his gun to cover Ockert. The cashier indicated the money with a nod then ordered all to turn their backs to the door. The two seized the money and stepped out. Pendleton rushed to the window and saw the gunman escaping in a blue motor car. He just had time to get the license number. The robbers had cut the telephone connection in the office but Pendleton notified the police from a bank building at the corner. This clearly isn't a small thing. These guys are cutting the telephone wire to this huge factory building. They're planning ahead enough to know when the payroll was coming in from the armored car. Clearly like a premeditated thing. So, you know, Gretch had to be doing pretty darn well to have bandits coming in and studying it and robbing them at a specific time. So, pretty cool to see though. And again, I love that no one at Gretch had seen this. So, I'm excited to share it with the world and we can all kind of learn about it together. The credit for this though goes to my friend Jerry Reiman who created the Percussion in the News binder here which has tons of these articles. There's a lot of Gretch ones in there. So, I'll do some more of them. But I wanted to specifically do this one for obvious reasons because it's pretty cool. You don't see this every day. If you haven't, be sure to go back and check out the previous podcast episode with Lucas von Gretch about his family's background and some really amazing in-depth stories that I don't think you'll hear anywhere else. So, thanks for checking this out and I will see you next week.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today's video is a bit of a different one. We're gonna be talking about so many things because there is a lot going on right now inside of FIFA 22. And also a lot of conversations, a lot of leaks actually going around this early for the next promo. Now I'm not gonna spend a lot of time talking about it, but potentially some foot freeze cards have been leaked already because people have these leaks evidently so early and they're already starting to post them. And we're gonna just bring up the conversation of leaks in FIFA this year for just a little bit, right? I don't wanna spend too much time on it, but I wanna talk about it for just a little bit because it has to be addressed, right? It has to be addressed because it is a very hot topic right now and it's been something that has been, you know, definitely more noticeable this year in FIFA 22 than it has been in years past. I wanna look at those leaked freeze players and talk about that. I mean, they're, again, leaks, right? So it's not confirmed, but so far the leaks this year have been pretty accurate. So we'll talk about some of that stuff. And then also the market right now, which is actually going kind of crazy with lightning rounds. I'm recording this at three, just past three AM UK. And we haven't had lightning rounds for the past two hours on this game, which on a Sunday seems a little bit crazy and I'm actually kind of surprised, but we have seen some prices move on the market in the last, basically hour. For some people that were going out and trying to buy some of these team of the group stage cards before Weekendly Rewards hit this morning on Monday, and some of these cards have taken a quick dip in price and it's maybe actually presented a little bit of a buy window. So if you're on an active and you saw this price dip, maybe you got involved with a few of these cards that have dipped down. I mean, Antony was just 180,000 coins. And right now, Fubin has him showing at 160. Wow, that's like a 20K drop, literally in the past hour. So I'm keeping an eye on this because these late night lightning rounds are making things very interesting. I also want to talk about Monday content, upgrade packs today, question mark, right? Road to the Knockouts are a very popular investment for a lot of people right now on this game as well. And I do want to talk about those. But first, I got to talk about the elephant in the room. If you guys have been on Twitter, you guys have seen this. And I want to talk about just why do I even mention leaks, right? I have to bring that up as well, but let's talk about it, right? So a couple of tweets going around, not just this specific one, but this is just the one that is, I feel like gaining the most traction. And this is the tweet that everybody is going back to. People have leaks for the upcoming Foot Freeze promo already. I mean, it is Monday, right? It is Monday. This promo is either this Friday or like next Friday. We have no idea when this is gonna be, most likely this coming Friday. And we already have names that are being leaked. Now, again, first things first, why am I showing you this? Well, my goal of having this channel and making YouTube videos, talking about FIFA and the market and this content on the game, is to give you the best analysis, what is to come, why things have happened. And basically when stuff impacts the market, I have to talk about it. I want to talk about it, to understand why this market moves. And when we have leaks, like as we've seen so much more this year than ever in years past, I would be doing you a disservice by not talking about leaks and how they affect the market when they are out, right? And so I can't just gloss over these and not talk about it. This is a big deal, right? And it does affect the market even this early in the week as people are already starting to expect some of these cards this weekend. No idea what the Foot Freeze promo is gonna look like and no idea if this is even halfway legit as of right now, but this is a leak already. And this is really just bringing up the topic on Twitter of people that are just posting leaks for clout. I understand why this guy is posting this leak, right? Why would he hold on to the names of these players when he can post them and get all the clicks and all that stuff? I mean, I understand why he's doing that. That's not my, that's never been my prerogative, right? That's why that's not my motivation for posting content is to just get clicks. I'm here to help, right? I'm here to help and inform to the best of my abilities and to have a conversation and talk things through on this ever changing and ever increasingly difficult market and game of FIFA 22. So I just think that it's crazy the leaks are coming out this early. I don't know what EA thinks about it. Of course, EA would imagine, I would imagine they would say, hey, we don't like these leaks. We wanna try to stop them, but they don't really put an effort out to do that. And it just seems like these leaks are coming out earlier and earlier and it comes down to like a moral issue, right? A lot of these people are saying, yes, I confirm that people have the freeze team. You think this is getting out of hand, stuff is getting leaked too early, blah, blah, blah. You know, it's just a really tricky situation where what do you value, right? Do you value the surprise? I don't necessarily don't like leaks, right? Every single week it feels like we know the cards that are coming out before the promo actually drops. And I just like that. I really do because I like the surprise factor. I like, you know, just kind of the anonymity, right? Of these cards when they're about to get dropped on the game, right? It's fine when the Champions League page like for these Team the Group stage cards last week, they posted a few of them an hour before. That's fine. I do a sponsored review like if Adidas would have tweeted out cards for the numbers up promo, which I think they might have done anyways, or we kind of knew which ones those were. I mean, literally every single promo this year has been leaked, right? So again, I just had to show you guys some of those names that are in there because there are some pretty big names and the people are gonna start to, you know, maybe invest in those gold cards. I mean, that's how it affects the market, right? People invest in those gold cards that are specifically or supposedly gonna go out of packs. People start to think about link investments. They think about selling cards for, you know, let's say, again, like one of the names that is in that team is Rashford, right? Maybe people will sell their Hyunmin Suns this week expecting a Rashford card. Now again, Foot Freeze has been like a position change promo. So Rashford might not be a left mid, but you know, I just, it's crazy. The leak situation right now on this game, the just, I don't know, I'm just not a huge fan of the leaks. I understand why people like to post them because it gets them clicks, but I'm not just here for clicks, man.  I'm here to enjoy this game to the fullest that EA is wanting it to be enjoyed too. And of course we're putting our extra spin on it and putting extra time into the transfer market that EA of course doesn't expect all of us to do. But again, I don't want to really say too much more about that. I wanna know what you guys think down in the comments. Tell me what you guys think, right? I miss the surprise factor of some of these of these promo cards not being known like a whole entire three to four days or now like a week before the promo and before these players are gonna be out. I missed that bit of a surprise factor to that stuff. So we'll talk more about foot freeze if it is looking like it's gonna be coming later on this week. But I just had to show that to you guys there because it's gonna affect the market, right? It's gonna start to already affect the market. And I just hope that somehow in some way we can get those leaks closed up, right? Because I just feel like it doesn't promote a just, you know, it just promotes a lot of things that I don't necessarily stand for, right? I definitely stand for like honesty and stuff like that. And I feel like just leaks, nothing ever positive comes out of leaks, man. To be completely honest, it all just feels kind of like snakey and under the table.  Let's talk about this market, right? And what is here in the now? Today is Monday, right? Today is Monday, week and week rewards. And a lot of these cards have actually dropped into rewards. If we go back and look at the team, the group stage team, yesterday on Sunday, wasn't a really crazy day of content. We had the Nementia SBC, Nementia, I don't even know if I'm saying his name correctly, Lucas Nementia for the goal of the group stage award. It's got a pretty nice upgrade from his silver card, but again, a lot of downvotes because this item at its price, although it does have some okay stats and Bundesliga strikers, especially in the pacy variety, there's not very many of them since Timo Werner has left the Bundesliga. So this card is filling a hole that needs to be filled in terms of there's not many pacy Bundesliga strikers or any at all, but he's just a little bit overpriced, three star weak foot, or sorry, three star skills and it just looks okay, right? It just looks okay. If they would have boosted the skills of the four star, four star and maybe added high medium work rates instead of medium, medium, maybe, and maybe this SBC about 50,000 coins cheaper, it might be a bit more well received, but that was our SBC yesterday and our three new cards that were released are Antony, right? Everybody's looking at this card and saying, isn't that just a copy paste of the Neres SBC, which it definitely is and this card is only 150,000 coins and it's probably gonna drop further on throughout the rest this week as these cards are in packs. Bruno Fernandez is in still, in my opinion, very overpriced, but that's how all of these cards were day one. 800,000 coins for Bruno at the moment when you compare this card to KDB, who is basically the same price, KDB blows him out of the water. So I know that Portuguese links are pretty big in this game with Renato and with the De Jalo card. Portuguese links, this fee for a pretty massive again, but I think this Bruno should be like another, I think this should be a 500K card in my honest opinion. Now I know the market is very high still. Again, we're trending higher, right? There hasn't been a huge drop off. There's been a few areas of selling. We'll talk about that today, but the market still overall is pretty high. So that's why I think that Bruno is up in price. Now the other card that we got yesterday was Toko Akambi and Trent Alexander Arnold. And this Trent Alexander Arnold card, to be honest with you, it just doesn't have a lot of hype around it because a Trent card is a right back with 84 pace. I'm sure he feels pretty decent in game and I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a good card to trade with, whether it be chemistry style trading with like shadow, with a shadow of course on the card. People are gonna say, hey, you can put a shadow on this card and he'll be a pretty solid right back. But to me, this looks like a pretty solid midfielder if I'm being completely honest with the passing stats that he has. But this Trent's a lot cheaper than his rule breaker item and that's just because he doesn't have the pace. So the mini release yesterday was okay, nothing insane. But again, these cards are gonna be a bit more rare as they always are. The cards that are released on the mini releases are more rare because they have less supply. They were not in packs for all the packs that were open on Friday and Saturday. They're only in packs for five days instead of seven. Now speaking of supply, today is again, weakening rewards, getting paid out and those lightning rounds that I mentioned that EA dropped at two and three AM UK time or nine or 10 PM Eastern, whatever time conversion that is for you. Are these selling out? 17,000, no, they're not gonna sell out. They're away in 30 minutes. So they started at I think like 27,000 or something like that or maybe even 30. So that's gonna get really close to selling out potentially not. But that's bringing some supply on the market and I'm actually looking into some of these cards before rewards, because I feel like people are gonna get some rewards today on Monday and you might see a few of these cards, you know, shoot up in price. One of them I looked at was Levandosky. Levandosky has been hurt big time by this Namensha card dropping. 240, that's a center mid position change with the Hunter, I'm gonna pick that up because Suley again has the kids all hyped right now. And this Levandosky card is really rare. He's really high rated, 93 rated. Again, I go up 20,000 coins and we have two pages of supply. And Levandosky is down like literally 240K. I'm pretty sure he was 310 or 320 before the Namensha SBC and SBC that a lot of people didn't like for the value of the card makes me really interested in this Levandosky for the how much he's dropped off for how rare he is. And just for the big name and the links that he has, right? The Sane card that is out as well. I bought a Dejalo tonight. Again, I know that there's those two big center backs that are out right now in this game with SBCs. I bought a Jalo tonight at 335 because when the first lighting round of the 85 plus star pack came out, he dropped like 20K in 15 minutes. I picked one up at 335, which is looking like a really good buy at the moment. And then I think I had a couple other, oh, I bought a couple Kiesas as well. Kiesas is still 220, but I was able to snag one at 214 and a 200 flat snipe. I got really lucky with those. So hopefully today after rewards, we see a bounce back on some of these items as people get their weekly rewards. I think you'll see that on the gold market as well. Wait a second, this is actually monumental. Gold Kempembe. Gold Kempembe is less than 10,000 coins, boys.  Less than 10K for the best center back in the game. Okay, he's right at 9.9K. That's actually nuts. I just saw that on foot bin. But anyways, I do think you'll see a bit of the market bounce back today after the weekly rewards get paid out this morning on Monday. Now the lighting round should be over, right? Like maybe we'll see one more lighting round today. I'm still surprised that they're doing this many lighting rounds on a weekend. This must be the new normal for promo teams throughout the weekend when they do lighting rounds. It used to just be the six, seven, and eight PM UK lighting rounds on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And it looks like they're mixing it up. Is that 480 still sitting for Marquinhos? All right, I'm gonna take a look at this Marquinhos as well because this Marquinhos is a very rare card. And I think that he was 520K yesterday, really rare item, 480. Is that actually sitting still? Is that the cheapest one? It is. I'm gonna let that sit and see if foot bin undercuts it anymore because we have a whole page here at 500. So I'm gonna be a slight bit greedy since I know these lighting rounds have been coming out. If I can snag like a 475 on Marquinhos, I would love that. I would absolutely love that. Maybe on bid in the next hour or two. So I'm gonna try to snag one of those tonight potentially before the rewards timeframe and then maybe another level or two. If I can get 240, 240 or under is kind of my goal price on that Levandosky. And also I think if I get 150K on Antony, I think I kind of like that card as well. So again, these are pretty risky flips. Like to be completely honest, these are really risky because these guys are gonna get supplied more rewards. I just feel like there's gonna be enough demand after rewards that these cards are gonna pick up in price just a little bit and I'll probably sell them before 6PM UK today on Monday. Now again, let's talk Monday for a second, right? Upgrade packs are one of the most, I guess expected pieces of content that could be dropped today. You have got these cards. I think that also with rewards today, people are gonna go out and do the PK and Suley SBC with the coins that they get. So watch out for your Terstegen, your Alfonso Davies, your other links to these cards that have actually gone up a bit, which makes me remember DeYoung. Frankie DeYoung is a card that I'm slightly interested in. If he's down enough, he's been between like 200 and 215,000 coins. If I can get a Frankie DeYoung with a shadow right there at 204, I was really trying to get one of these like 190 something. If I could snag a DeYoung in the 190s, then I don't mind that because I think that he might rise up today with the supply. I mean, there's gonna be a few team of the weak packs paid out, of course. I'm not gonna be awake at rewards, but this might be a card that people would go and buy to try to link a new PK card that they maybe did after rewards as well in their team to try out and play a few games. So I just feel like there's not a ton of other content on this game that will pull people away from the market and trying cards out at the moment, which is why I'm sort of interested in flipping some of these Team of the Group stage items for a very quick flip, right? Very, very, very quick flip, that's for sure. But upgrade packs today, right? I don't know if it'd be a 75 plus player pick, an 80 plus player pick, 78 plus upgrade pack, but I would expect to see some sort of upgrade packs in the store today. Other than that, I'm really not sure what other content that we could be seeing today. I do know one thing that though, on the market people are starting to kind of feel a little bit bored, right? Just a little bit bored and people are investing on these road to the knockouts. And not that these cards getting invested only means that there is boredom out there, but Fred is literally up like 50,000 coins in the past day. He's actually 450, that's a slight undercut. He was 460 just a little bit ago. Taking a look at a few of these items on the market as well, comparing to the prices that we saw earlier this past weekend. Sinaldo's actually down about 30,000 coins. He was 555.60. Sane is up 20K. Tonali's about the same price. Graven Birch is rising. Rodrigo is rising. Hamari Treore, Robertson, Danjuma. People are really starting to go in on these road to the knockout cards that are getting either one upgrade later on this week or a double upgrade, right? Emobile is 110. I mean, he's getting an upgrade and that links to the new Quesa card that everybody's hyped about. So I'm kind of curious about Emobile because he keeps dropping off. He is gonna get upgraded, but there's a lot of eyes on cards like Diata and Tapsoba because Tapsoba is an 84. If they win their last game this week, he's gonna go to an 87. He's gonna get that double upgrade. Diata could go to an 86 with a double upgrade as well. So it's very interesting that a lot of people are investing in these again. I'm just gonna be very cautious with road to the knockouts for later on this week because I really feel like if you didn't get in early and you don't sell at the right time, again, these road to the knockout cards are no longer live after this week. Like these weeks, this week's games that we are seeing in the next few days after these games, wow, Emobile is not 110K footpin, you're capping. After this week's games, these cards are done so, right? They're not live and upgrading cards into the knockout rounds only for the group stages. So that is one thing that I'm trying to remember with these cards and that I don't wanna get stuck with them because I do feel like a lot of them, like Timo Werner still being almost a million coins. I know that he is gonna get, he's gonna go to a 90 rated card, but does that really make him worth this much on the market? Does it really make him worth almost a million coins? I don't think so. I think this card is overpriced and I think that there's gonna be a decent amount of these RTTK cards that drop off after this week, after their games are played, even if they're still gonna get upgrades, but after the upgrades come as well, maybe early next week or late this week, I think you'll start to see some of those dropping off. So that's just kind of what's going on on the market right now. Again, the rewards timeframe today is gonna be a bit interesting. Watch your like Van Dyke team of the week card. Some of these really rare items from team of the week, if you wanna snag a Griezmann for your team, you know, into the 30K range might not be a too terrible time. It's basically gonna be one of the, a big time of supply for the team of the week and for some of these cards as well, even though there are impacts for the rest of the later on this week, some of these cards might get to very near low points because the content is very quiet this week. Some of these cards might get near low points early on. So again, we don't know what's coming later on this week. They could drop any sort of SBC or preview packs. You guys know all the potentials that they could drop, right, at any time. But it doesn't seem like EA is going all out for this promo. It seems like it's just they're doing a decent enough a bit of content to make things interesting. So that's why I'm kind of keeping an eye on some of these cards tonight because especially like a brand new item like Antony, just kind of keeping an eye on this because again, like 160 AK, how many pages do we have here? We have two. So there's definitely some people that are trying to buy up these cards tonight and make an investment in them before rewards, but these lightning rounds that have come out in the past two hours have really, you know, really, really took these cards down a price a decent amount. Speaking of cards that are down a price a decent amount, the high tier icons, people are really starting to expect icon swaps and prime icons very soon in this game. R9 middle, this mid R9 is 9.7 million right now. He's actually down like 1.5 million coins. Holit mid was 6.8 mil on Friday. He is now 5.7 million coins. So these upper tier, these elite tier icons, people are finishing off some of their week in weeks, some of the qualifier matches that were played this weekend and these guys are getting sold big time. So that's an update on that sort of the market as well. I think that's just people selling before icon swaps. Don't know when icon swaps is gonna be. We're probably gonna talk about that later on this week. Hopefully EA Sports give us some more confirmation and some more official updates on icon swaps. We want some communication EA please. That would be very, very, very nice. So again, I know I just talked about the market a lot, but again, referring back to the very beginning of the video, I know there's a lot of leaked stuff going around. Just read into that as much as you wanna read into that, right? If you wanna believe those leaks fullheartedly and make some investments, you might make some profit, but I mean, that's also stuff that's like five days away and I would rather not put myself in a position where I'm trusting leaks for five days and waiting for something to happen and I would rather go and make some moves on the market myself, trading with icons or trading with some of these popular cards like we do anyways on this game. So a very interesting video again for sure, but let me know what you guys think down below about the leaks, about foot freeze content and again about these Team of the Group stage cards and the lighting rounds that EA is running. I'm very curious to see how much more Champions League related content we have throughout this week on FIFA Ultimate Team. So that's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy some action thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions, of course, and subscribe if you are new. It has been Nate with Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
