The following is a presentation of TFNN the morning markets kickoff With your host Tommy O'Brien Good morning everybody, I'm Tommy O'Brien coming to you live from TFNN Wednesday morning just after 9 a.m. Eastern time We got about 25 minutes to go until the start of trading and you got markets in positive territory to kick things off one stock Not in positive territory this morning Netflix to put it lightly We'll get into that in a moment, but boy talk about a miss man and they are getting punished this morning You get the S&P's though up 17 points right now You're trading up 4 tens percent at forty four seventy seven NASDAQ 100 up fifty seven points fourteen thousand two seventy four That's four tens percent as well. You get the Dow nearing thirty five thousand not that long ago a week ago We're at thirty four thousand up a hundred thirty four points in the Dow thirty four thousand nine seventy five Russell up fifteen points as well Bitcoin back about forty two thousand forty two thousand fifty five crude rockin crude's up a dollar twenty at one oh three twenty five We talked to our man Teddy keg stat today at forty past the hour. Love talking some crude oil with Teddy We'll talk some forex as well. Stay tuned for that one at forty past the hour We jumped to gold pulling back from the highs we had Monday $2,003 this morning make it down to nineteen forty one golds down nine dollars this morning nineteen forty nine seventy silver off twenty two pennies as well 2516 and we jumped to notes and bonds a slight reprieve of the slightest slightest reprieve folks You're talking about a ten-year yield right now pretty remarkable that I can talk about a reprieve in the ten year And we're sitting at two point nine percent not too much a reprieve competing considering where we are But nonetheless you do get a little bit of higher price in terms of yesterday's action You back it up to Where we were at about 9 p.m. Eastern time last night you're at one 1819 and just like that you traded up almost a full point from 9 a.m. Until about 7 30 We've given up some of that right now You're technically positive by three ticks on the session, but you're sitting at 2.9 percent man on the 10 year Seems like 3% might be coming at us. I don't know if we got 3% last night We probably were pretty close at 1 18 19 man you put this thing on a daily I talk about it all the time man We were in quite a trend line to lower prices and higher yield folks this market has broken out in dramatic fashion We're at 2.9 percent right now I do imagine you'll get a bounce at some point Maybe you bake it back within that channel channel line, but you're still talking about lower prices and higher yields Even within that channel line 1906 we make it to a low 118 19 lowest prices highest yield we've seen about four years remarkable Let's jump over to the Vicks this morning Vicks pairing some of the gains were back to about 20 at 2020 on the volatility index Alright, let's get into it man. Whoo. You talk about an earnings miss How's that chart look for you right 700 to 350 that looks like a rough one Well, guess what folks that one does not have the overnight session in we're gonna open at 250 so much for 350 Just shave another hundred dollars off the price of Netflix and there you go We're talking about still trading lower right now Use me all the streaming companies getting punished here. Not sure if that's fair We're gonna find out in the long term, but this morning you are you're talking about Roku getting punished in a big way Disney I've been able they're getting punished in a big way 360 last night to 249 and as I said folks It just keeps going and I can't blame the market pretty startling report out there from Netflix. You spike initially to 270 You settle at about 260. We're now trading at 240 98 Folks you are down an even 100 dollars on the price of Netflix now if you jump over remember You had about a $35 move priced into the earnings $100 just crushes it man They lose subscribers for the first time now jumping down to the fundamentals. Okay You're talking about a company was valued at $150 billion yesterday today. They are valued at a hundred and eleven billion dollars Remarkable and that is off of about almost 275. I think was at their high. They were valued at $700 was the high so you almost multiplied times three.  Okay, things really falling out of bed the last earnings season But boy, you're gonna I mean you're talking about trading from 500 bucks to 250. That's down from 700 now One of the big aspects that drove them lower when they announced their earnings in January for the final quarter of 2021 was their forecast, okay? They had originally forecasted for the quarter that they just came in with at about 8.5 million subscriber ads And they said hold on we were way ahead of ourselves. We're gonna trim that back harshly We're gonna say we're only gonna add 2.5 million subscribers for the quarter that they just announced on yesterday after the close There was a lot of talk on the street that they had Underpromised that they had said, you know what we're gonna take a beating no matter what Let's go low to make sure that we under promise and we over deliver, right? Let's really put a number out there that we think we can hit because the last thing we want to do is go from 8.5 to 2.5 and we miss the 2.5 right so the street said, you know what maybe they're being a little cautious Maybe they're gonna come in at three to four. I saw one accolade out there one statistic saying just from pure streaming volume One analyst or or somewhere out there. They were talking about maybe the streaming numbers alone We're pointing to the fact they might have added four million. Well, what happened folks? They lost 200,000 subscribers first time they've lost subscribers since 2011 Losing subscribers that is not growth. Okay They have some serious free cash flow here, okay now it In your mind because I'm doing these gymnastics in my own mind, all right I'm saying, okay, you now have a company valued at 111 billion dollars They're probably gonna be around for some foreseeable period of time as in they are the leader in streaming right now I got kids in the house folks. All right, they're their their brains are attuned to that Netflix Sound when it comes on right It's gonna be around but is it going to be the leader Forever. Well, we'll see now that the question about the free cash Well, when you're talking about a company now valued at 110 billion dollars. Can it get cut in half again? Can it be valued at 55 billion dollars? Anything's possible folks great conversation in the Tigers den yesterday if you haven't checked out the den yet I encourage you to check it out They were saying just because it's gone so low don't think it can't go any lower man and Couple of tigers in there. Tigris is having a good laugh saying I've been bitten by that one before I think we all have folks when you see a stock go from 700 350 The theoretical hypothetical trade I laid out yesterday was just saying because people are thinking about it If you wanted to did not end up taking this trade or sending out to subscribers Partly because of some of the great discussions going on in the tiger stand out there If you think you can't go any lower, you're wrong because the price yesterday was 350 And you had risk on both sides of that trade and we now see of course You go down to 250 don't make the same mistake again Don't say to yourself that there's not risk to the downside when you're trading at 250 And here's the fundamental part of that. Okay, the fundamental part of that is they have free cash flow right now And we're gonna get into some of the numbers of this more so But if they cannot compete, okay I saw a great Bloomberg analysts talking about this last night and it was a great point if they can't compete with Scripted shows which that's the what they're the king of right now, right? They're not the king of live sports They're the king of scripted shows. Okay, and they've delivered in pretty dramatic fashion with some serious hits of scripted shows Maybe that's not gonna live up to what they need anymore And maybe they're gonna have to start going out there and paying for premium content to the likes of live sports Maybe and if you have another upheaval of spending, maybe that free cash flow goes bye-bye I mean when are they gonna be able to turn the spicking on for profits, right? Let alone. We haven't discussed. They're gonna start selling ads. That's a big one as well We'll be talking to our man Kevin Hicks when we get back stay tuned folks Everything in the universe is governed by the Fibonacci sequence This mathematical principle is responsible for everything from the most aesthetically pleasing artwork to patterns in the stock market To stay on top of stock patterns You can take advantage of sign up for the Fibonacci 24 7 newsletter at tfnn.com When you subscribe you'll get a weekly report from veteran day trader Larry Pezzavento on stocks You need to pay attention to and you can trust Larry's analysis after all He's got 45 years experience as a day trader Larry will also provide daily charts videos and data on the key markets that he's tracking Expect notifications from Larry on market movement You need to act on at any time first-time subscribers also get a 30-day money back guarantee If you're not satisfied, let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up Subscribe to the Fibonacci 24 7 newsletter today tfnn.com educating investors What's separating you from the most successful men and women on Wall Street, that's right Information having all the information gives us the perspective we need to place the right trades at the right time The TAS profile scanner is the premier market profile base scanner Powered by its acclaimed TAS proprietary algorithms this feature rich scanner instantly filters over 2,500 plus global financial markets such as stocks ETFs commodities futures and forex This powerful suite of tools Leverages instant trade filtering and strategy formulation to show you emerging trades Before they happen for a limited time You can save $100 off your first month by using the promo code upgrade and you still get a 30-day money back guarantee So you have nothing to risk Level the playing field with the TAS profile scanner which you can find under the services tab at tfnn.com Sign up today Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument You have to practice sure, but you also need excellent instruction from experts at tfnn You'll get advice and guidance from the authority and technical market analysis, and it's not just dry tedious text either tfnn airs live financial content streamed live on tfnn.com and Tfnn's YouTube channel with tiger TV live every market day from 8 30 a.m. To 4 p.m. Eastern for free each host is an experienced trader and gives their take on the market while taking calls and questions live from around the World from the moment the market opens until the closing bell sounds Tiger TV has eight different shows with expert hosts to help You make the right moves with your money watch online at tfnn.com or on tfnn's YouTube channel and become the Investor you were born to be tfnn educating investors Folks we get the S&P's up 15 right now Nasdaq positive by 38 you get the Dow up 122 We got Netflix shares right now trading down an even $100 at $248 and 70 cents we closed last night at $348 and 60 cents remarkable pullback for Netflix shares Losing 200,000 subscribers for the first time. They're gonna have a new subscription service at a cheaper price That's gonna be ad supported in the next year or two That may be the scariest thing of all shifting the entire business plan read Hastings for a while there saying no no no We're gonna be charging subscriptions. We're not gonna be selling ads and guess what that all changes when they can't grow anymore All right, let's jump over to our man Kevin Hicks every trading day folks 12 noon Eastern time on the TD Ameritrade Network right here on Tiger TV your host Kevin Hicks Tom white they break down the Days market action they walk you through hypothetical trade setups Kevin Hicks. Where do we start man? Good morning? Good morning, Tommy O'Brien. You know, how do you transition from a growth stock to a value stock? And I guess the print the answer to that is you go from seven hundred dollars to two hundred and forty eight dollars I guess that's remarkable Kevin But this is gonna be you know There's not a lot of people that really called for this. It looks like Netflix is gonna open up down about a hundred dollars here It's a little bit of a surprise in terms of data But the lesson to be learned from this is look at the price action in the four major industries today one stock does not make a market and Netflix's issues and they're not earning they earned plenty of money but they're just not growing like they were and They're transitioning to a different company with competition and frankly they need more hits Right We don't want you when Netflix started Tommy. They were playing Friends in Seinfeld and old shows like that. They were all hit now when you start coming out with new content it's more of a batting average and if you're batting average dips and People start to go back outside in the spring and post COVID and your numbers dip You you've got never an answer and password sharing is gonna come up. I think Advertising will come up eventually. Maybe not in the short term But they're going through a pretty critical time in their company's history Tommy Yeah, Reed Hastings. I believe on the call He had talked about that they are looking into an ad supported service at a cheaper price in the next year or two Very general statements out there. So nothing concrete But that one caught my ear because for a while he has been pretty adamant on the fact that no no no We have a service. We charge a subscription for we're not getting into ads You could see a little fear there as they change things up completely like you said from 348 to 248 $100 and you make a great point man. They're they're they're making some cash right now For sure. I heard one analyst out there last night on Bloomberg Kevin and they made a great point I forget who it was. I should get the name because I talked about already this morning They are the king of scripted shows right now. That's what they do You know, they do scripted shows and they've had a ton of big hits man But what happens Kevin if they have to start spending again, right? What if spending on scripted shows isn't living up to it? What if they find the need to get into other areas particularly? What if they start saying hey, you know what live sports is the king right now? What if we want to go compete for live sports, man? You're talking about competing with who? Bezos in Amazon in Apple Just a lot up in the air man, but who remarkable pullback in the Tiger's Den Kevin. They were saying yesterday Don't think because it's gone so far that it can't go any low at lower We've been bitten by that before and Netflix a great example folks when you think a stocks can cut in half Don't think it can't go lower because there is risk on both sides of that trade if it straightened at 348 yesterday Straighten in 348 folks forget about 700. That was when they were talking about adding Millions and millions and millions of subscribers this quarter Kevin last quarter and now they're looking for the next quarter losing two million So it's a big shift man. You almost can't overstate how big of a shift is they haven't lost subscribers since 2011 man remarkable and the other streamers, of course paying the price That's an interesting conversation in terms of you know, does Disney deserve to be trading down $5 today on Netflix? Maybe man. We'll see we'll find out Roku Probably gonna have a hit because obviously if people aren't signing up for Netflix They have a less need for streaming an entirety Roku down from 490 now sitting at 108 But as you say I was a little bit Interested not even worried interested Kevin because futures were down last night I said is this gonna be kind of a market sentiment where people just to kind of take a huge miss and say is this more than even Streaming right is this something that people are holding their checkbooks doesn't seem to be the case so far this morning with the S&P's up 15 points Some of the other stocks out there IBM actually trading higher Kevin would trade at 132 right now from 129 You guys talked about Procter and Gamble yesterday They're almost flat right now trading up about a dollar after some volatility spike to 163. You're at 160 this morning Pretty resilient market right now with quite a miss for one of those marquee numbers last night We got the 10-year yield Kevin still sitting at about 2.9 percent as this market I mean you think about a cab it was at 4,800 at all-time highs We're sitting almost at 4,500 right now and yields just through the roof What's your general take on how resilient this market's been and I say only 300 points off the highs But I think if you told people Kevin I'm going back to super general here If you told people that the yields were gonna do what they would have done in the first You know three and a half months of the year I think that the market at 4,500 might be okay with a lot of investors What's your take on just the general market here with yields like almost as high as I could imagine them by April 20th Yeah, I mean some of the discussion the last couple days have been yield and the US dollar right well Both of those are relatively quiet today and the question that I just brought up with Oliver Renwick was Well, is it is it a chicken and egg right what are the markets up because the dollar and the yields are quieter this morning or are the Is the dollar down and yields quiet because stocks seem to be firming here and finding some bids down in some of these So it's kind of interesting how that relationship plays out But you know if your people are watching the markets today You know the the lower US dollar is good for stocks the the quieter Ten-year yield is probably good for stocks this market will show that a healthy US economy can handle higher interest rates What it has trouble with is spiking interest rates in the yields, which is what we've gotten lately So if the 10-year yield which you know, let's face it Tommy has discounted a lot of rate hikes already in it at 2.9% to 288 as we said you're pre-opened if it starts to quiet down and stay in a range Stocks could look very attractive again at some of these valuations. I mean some of the moves Yeah, and I know you know but I'm looking at the S&P futures on the thinkorswim platform just on a 15-minute basis Sunday night folks we were trading at 43 55 we're 125 points above that price level right now 120 actually as I look at it 44 75 just huge moves man So we transition from Netflix Kevin. We got some big names coming out What are you guys talking about today on fast market coming up at noon? In the first segment we'll look at lamb research They have earnings coming up and then like fully old do a presentation on the airlines United Airlines and American coming out with earnings and then we were the last one's a little bit influx We may we looked at Tesla on Monday. We may look at it again. We may look at auto nation It's the the last segment of the show is currently in discussion as how we want to handle it But uh lamb research and the airlines to start the show Perfect. We'll keep them guessing you got to tune in folks for the third segment lamb research this morning You're catching a bid with the market. You're up to 496 from 479 and yeah, the airlines I heard you guys talking about yesterday interesting action with the mask mandate going down All of a sudden airlines catch a pop at that travel sector man That's an interesting one nonetheless as we get a rebound and travel Delta. They talk the biggest cash sales They had a month of March Kevin. We appreciate the time man. We'll be watching it 12 today. Have a great one man Thanks for having me on Tommy. Always pleasure.

We got markets open You got the S&P up 17 points right now trading at 44 76 and as I was talking to Kevin Hinks You put this thing back on a five-year weekly folks, okay five-year weekly you could almost just let's go back a three-year weekly Okay, get the full COVID acceleration to 21 74 We get a one-way trip from 21 74 to 4800 folks to start off this year. Yes You do pull back to about 4,000. What's the low technically end of February of 4101 the low 4129 in the middle of March We're trading right now at 44 77. I'm telling you folks you look at this chart on a longer-term basis We barely got a pullback right now. Okay, you started 2020 off at 3200 we're trading 1,250 points above that price level you're trading 40% Above where we started 2020 off as we came into a pandemic the likes that many of us had never seen before Keep that in mind when you think about what's possible folks in terms of pullbacks doesn't mean it's gonna happen But man, you see the surprises and Netflix first time since 2011 losing subscribers They are gonna try and start an ad-supported service. That one's the scariest of all Because that means Reed Hastings is questioning the business plan that they've stuck with since inception of streaming That's a scary one folks when you think about where they go They were at 8.5 million subscribers for the current quarter then they went down to 2.5 million subscriber ads It comes in at a decrease of 200,000 How hard do you think they were trying to make sure that they didn't come in at a decrease, right? You know that executives were watching that number man saying can we can we put some money into? Advertising to boost it, you know, we're only talking about 200,000 subscribers on A company like that. What can we do to get that number in the positive? They couldn't do it and now they're gonna come in at a loss of 2.5 million the next quarter So maybe maybe they really were trying maybe if they weren't spending the extra money to try and push that number to Positive they maybe they would have come in at a minus million or something like that Maybe that's why the next quarter is gonna be down 2.5 because what they've been doing is not working They're gonna start cracking down on people sharing passwords That's not necessarily gonna transition to new subscribers folks if you're sharing passwords with family members It's not necessary necessarily gonna transition to you take that password You know that one family member that was maybe willing to use your subscription They might not be willing to pay themselves folks now Netflix is trying to say oh you can add the family member at a discounted rate all this stuff That gets pretty complicated folks read Hastings understood the brilliance of their business plan when it was working No, we are signing people up for subscriptions. We're not selling advertising. That is old media. Well guess what now They're selling advertising everybody's selling advertising folks. All right peacock sells advertising. That's gonna be a whole different plan People do not watch Netflix to watch ads. They don't do it They've been drilled into their head that that is one of the benefits of watching Netflix, right? You never have to worry about that ad popping up like you do Google YouTube the likes Even Disney had come out I think it was the last quarter of the quarter before they had already realized that there was enough opportunity there to Boost the average revenue per user by starting a subscription plan that was going to be ad Supported so they might have seen the writing on the wall as well Nonetheless, let's jump over to Disney and some of the other streamers real quick So you got Disney down 4.2 percent today on that number. Well, I'll say about Disney folks You're talking about a company now valued at about 230 billion dollars. Yes 230 billion almost on the dot right now Prior to COVID. All right, let's back Disney out on the five-year weekly prior to COVID Okay Yes, so we're talking about the year 2019 now some of these volatile moves on Disney in 2019 had to do with the launch of Disney Plus I believe the first time this thing catches a bid you go from about 115 to 130 that was when they first announced the pricing structure for Disney I'm gonna have to get all these dates exactly. All right, I'll do it again. I've done it on my program before But it's important to understand what this sock was priced at pre Disney Plus because there is a substantial value in this company above the streaming folks when you're talking about a company Disney's value to 230 billion you now have Netflix valued at a hundred and eleven billion I think at one point Netflix was above Disney, which made no sense whatsoever Disney in 2019, I believe they had ten different movies that all gross one billion dollars at the box office One of the reasons why I love Disney so much versus Netflix over the last few years Is because Netflix does not have Any type of business that has box office gross let alone the word Merchandising that comes on top of it folks. I live near Disney my goodness the amount of Straight-up merchandising that exists from Disney itself. I think we all get the point You're back to 126 you're back to the 618 almost exactly from the full covert running had from 79 to 203 And listen if this market takes a beating folks everything's gonna take a beating Okay, but if you're looking at getting in Disney you've now filled the gap that you had back there from a November of 2020 You're back to 126. You're back to the 618. You've had a little bit of support here You're basically back to basic levels that before we even knew the pricing structure of Disney Plus let alone when this thing goes public Excuse me when goes live Something to consider They're paying a price for Disney today. They're paying a price for Netflix. Excuse me and you're back to 126 All right in the long run folks I tell you we were just in Orlando for my birthday went to the JW Marriott in Orlando Outstanding hotel that was March 20th about a month ago exactly a month ago today's April 20th happy 420 to Elon Musk and everybody up there March 20th. I was out there JW Marriott. We were thinking about going to Disney Well shame on us for not figuring out that guess what that was around spring break Disney Disney was sold out You couldn't even go they didn't have any extra tickets. I didn't even know that happened Well, yeah, it happened folks It was spring break. It's not always like that I'll check it the commercial break coming up if they're full right now But you couldn't even get into Magic Kingdom if you wanted there was no premium pricing. There was nothing straight out sold out All right, we've seen the airlines come back Disney's gonna come back folks. I just saw I think a couple days ago for the first time hugs are back at Disney For a couple years hugs were not there. They didn't want everybody hugging with the pandemic hugs are back The kids can go hug Mickey Mouse if they want when they get to meet him all that stuff It's coming back folks. Disney's gonna benefit greatly let alone in the movie theaters. They're gonna benefit I encourage you to keep that one on your radar They are gonna go back up at some point and if I'm looking at Disney versus Netflix folks Netflix is a one-trick pony for the longest time and I have a small portion of Netflix shares in my Retirement folks. Okay, I understand. I don't have it 700. Thank goodness Excuse me So I understand the attractiveness of Netflix and at 110 billion people can probably make that similar argument But as I laid out Netflix might have to up the ante on what they're spending they might have to say we need more than scripted programming to compete They might start burning through cash yet again Where does the end exist for Netflix where they stop spending money and are actually able to start just printing profit That's a tough one when you're always gonna be cute competing with some of the biggest companies in the world No matter what happens to Disney, you're always gonna be competing with Amazon and Apple That is a tough one folks because they can spend money on programming. That's basically No impact is one way to say it on their fundamentals, I mean Apple spending money. Yeah, they spend 20 billion dollars That's pretty substantial. Okay, but 20 billion dollars of Apple's market cap. What are we sitting at right now? Just shy under three trillion probably. Yeah Apple is sitting on a market cap of 2.75 trillion dollars Okay, to put things in context Apple has 16.3 billion shares outstanding So if they spend 16.3 billion dollars on content, that's akin to that stock price moving $1 Wow, and a Netflix is only worth 111 billion dollars if they spend 16 billion dollars on content that's 15% of their entire market cap You get the point. Okay. It's a tough one.

We get the market's rocket and Let's jump over to our man Teddy cakes that from Forex dash trading dash unlock.com We talked to Teddy every Wednesday at 40 past the hour. We've been talking some Forex. We've been talking some crude oil We've been talking some Japanese yen and I got a chart of that yen up here to kick things off Teddy. Good morning Good morning, Tommy. I think the yen is exactly where we should start But I listen it's you've made some outstanding calls lately man. The yen is one of them Let's do it man. I got a chart up and it's almost a one-way trip outside of that one reversal We got With the central bank over there But yes, we let's start it off. I got it up here in a daily basis Teddy What are you looking out of this yet now that we hit 129 39 this morning, man? Well, you hit the key when you just said central bank. So Yesterday and this is is breaking news across many news different sources The Japanese times and the financial times were the ones that really first started it was that there's a divergence in What's going on with the Japanese? Financial system so the Bank of Japan came out yesterday and said that they are going to buy unlimited Bonds to keep the rate at a quarter percent in Japan Okay, so that totally goes against what we said member two weeks ago when we said that they're gonna defend their currency Well, you don't you don't defend your currency by buying your bond market You do the opposite you sell or sell your bond market Okay, so now the finance minutes minister for Japan is totally in the opposite thought like now They've obviously been on a low interest rate curve for a long time. They've been in there the longest Okay, however when it comes to defending your currency, which is something that they think they definitely need to do You don't buy bonds. You don't try and produce rates, you know You'd write you gotta go on the opposite, especially when the whole rest of the world is increasing rates I mean no one's talking about cutting rates let alone supporting their bond market every every central bank is cutting back on their purchases You know so so that's a very key thing that happened yesterday because remember we had the 130 price target I sure do man. We were coming. We almost hit it yesterday, okay? And then this news came out now today if you look at the end we spiked a little bit higher Okay, and now it's what I see right now is a little bit of a profit-taking mode because sure you have the euro is up The pound is up the Aussie's up So if all these other baskets occur the major currencies are up The dollar is under pressure and you got to remember the bond market did make a lower move low today But that now they're a little bit higher on the day, you know, so it's just a little profit-taking move You know as far as that that momentum is concerned at least that's the way I'm viewing it right now Now as far as a price target that line in the sand now is completely I have to say it's off the table because there's no way that you're gonna be able to defend your currency and also Hold just trying to hold up your bond market at the same time It's just it's it's it's a tug of war that you can't go anywhere with So that's where I think the yen is still gonna be a bull And if the one of the reasons I really truly believe that as member two weeks ago when they first talked about defending their currency That was the first correction they'd had in a while and it's the only one they've had in the last month Okay, and that was a that was a three-day slide and it came back pretty fast because remember when we talked two weeks ago I said hey I'm like, you know, I thought that they were they were taking a little bit too much profit taking off of that high And that's when I looked into it and saw how the central bank made that comment about defending their currency So we had a three-day slide there because of that now we have this divergence between the head of the finance Ministry and also the Bank of Japan going in two different directions on what they want to do So that means that that would happen two weeks ago. You're not gonna get that kind of correction So I think the pullback you have today is a short-term little profit-taking break But with oil up and especially if the interest rates start to hit the lows again, which I do believe they will You know, then I think you're gonna see our 130 price target Now I would say that you might see the US dollar again at 140 Especially if you see the Treasury bonds get down to like 125, you know something like that And could you talk a little bit about Teddy because I was a little bit surprised So two weeks ago you let us know the fundamental reason for that pullback Which was them talking about that they're gonna kind of set that upper limit that they wanted, right? And was it 130 or 130 110? What was it? 130 was the number. Yes, 130 was the number. They explicitly said 130 Okay, so you let us know that some great information that explains some of the pullback I got it up here. We see it's it's almost the only three red bars on this chart man going back to March 7th I think we actually have two other red bars prior to the one today Then you come on last week and you're a bull Which I was surprised with considering that you would think right? You would think that your your your profits are capped, right? You're in a trade potentially where you're bullish at 124 125 wherever we are and The central bank over there is saying you're capped at 130 Can you walk us through a little bit because I mean great call when we are right now and I know you did it last week But for some of the listeners that might not have caught it What was the transition that allowed you to maybe turn into a bull even with the central bank talking about trying to keep it Below 130 and you'd be buying it at 125 Can you talk a little bit about that because from where we are right now is outstanding call and even the fundamental aspect has changed Thank you, but I thought that was so cool, especially from what happened over the last, you know seven days Well, I think one of the biggest things that helped me become a bull against the end again Was because at the same token while the dollar was very strong against the euro the pound and the Aussie they were slowing So the euro was the one that was under the most pressure, but the Aussie now is in actually it's not just in a correction It's in a bullish trend now, you know every break has been a it's been a higher move low And we started to bounce with those two markets last week, you know on certain points That's where I could see that I would look at the pound yen and the and the Aussie yen and I started I've got long I've been long those now for two weeks as well You know because those trends are so solid that the yen is not just a bearer when it comes to the US dollar It's a bear with every other currency out there So that means that as long as the dollar is still strong against the Aussie and a strong against the pound and a strong against the euro And especially because the euro right now is off its lows So any upside move it has now is just a correction the dollar is very strong So as long as the dollar is strong against those currencies and those currencies are strong against the yen You got to be a bull.  Especially now because like I said with I remember how I was adamant about how when it hits 130 It's gonna be like a nuclear bomb. They're gonna hit that to pull that trigger right away But now with the Bank of Japan going revert. They just reversed it completely reversed their stance last yesterday You know, it's great information, man. I key. I appreciate you sharing it with all our listeners out there We had a question Teddy earlier Anticipating you were coming on the program from one of our guys in the in the Den Dan talking about the Canadian dollar Can we talk a little bit about the Canadian dollar because that's got some movement going on today as well? Yeah, that is I tell you what that's become a choppy mess over the last two weeks In fact, I was streaming but I just got back from vacation last night I did a video and I talked about the US dollar Canada where I was like this one is totally a side scratcher You know like because Geopolitically, it's it's it's a mess between especially the US and Canada And that's I even on a financial aspect too when it comes to our economy and a whole bunch of just it's just a complete zoo You know now another thing that is weird as the commodity issue is because you would think that with especially oil being strong And some other commodities being strong that the Canadian dollar beats getting strength But I think that because of the slope of the way their economy is going and there's there's a big issue now As far as their debt level for their government and stuff like that that you never really heard this before COVID-19 messed up the Canadian economy in many many ways, and I think it's gonna be a bear US dollar Canada is gonna be a long-term bear right now Yeah, we're gonna have to start extending this to two segments if we get this type of action going on in the Forex market Teddy listen Thank you so much for the conversation the education as always man, and we'll talk to you next Wednesday Teddy Thank you.

We jump over to Netflix shares 34.1% and I think they're agreeing with me in the beginning of the program folks You better wake up man. They are changing their entire business model at Netflix. That is not strength folks All right, they're losing subscribers.

They've been talking about this morning You don't get the same type of sell-off on Disney only open you're down $7 Disney is not the same as Netflix's one-trick pony. Okay, and man It was a hell of a trick when they had it going on. Okay But Netflix doesn't have a movie theater business folks This could be a huge breakout summer from movie theaters I think I saw the trailer for Thor out there recently a Marvel film You got Disney parks Netflix has nothing like that and then you have the Disney plus streaming service Which is obviously Paramount no pun intended on Paramount Paramount to the future of the company But they have a lot more going on folks Disney's value to 230 billion dollars at this market cap right now You're right at the 618 or where you've been I would look at that into that the only disclaimer is you know market sells off everything's gonna sell off folks, but that's all you do and You know I keep going back to it because Netflix does not have what Disney has folks That's the reason why I'm not just a big person on streaming. I'm a big person on Disney man Disney parks sold out There's only one Mickey Mouse folks. All right, there's only one Star Wars. There's only one Marvel They own them all they get to merchandise them all they get to put them all into movie theaters And they get the parks America folks if they are gung-ho to get back out to travel to visit Disney to go to some movie theaters Disney's gonna be in a position to benefit and I imagine that's coming around the corner market though We might be in a dice area. That's the only thing a little bit worrisome But at 125 76 folks not the same Disney versus Netflix down 4.6 today. We'll see could be a discount Not the action you want but keep it on your radar folks gonna be an interesting day in the markets S&Ps positive by one stay tuned folks. We got our man Basil Chapman up next Larry fast markets Steve Rhodes


It's that time of the year, fellas.  That's pretty rude. But don't worry. You want to see some really bad layering in the face attached to it? Man, I know y'all got secondhand embarrassment from that. And I'm sorry. But if I can improve my layering, so could you. Y'all start somewhere right and there's always room for improvements. So let's start with the first reason. And that is you are lacking flow. And what exactly does flow mean? Well, one of the greatest scenes in cinema is from this movie made in the 1960s called Harakiri. Take a look at their outfits. Their robes flowing with the winds, the grass, the trees blowing. It's what makes this scene aesthetically pleasing. And you want that for your outfit because even if it's not a windy day as you walk, you're going to get the ripples, the drape, the flow. And that alone is what a lot of people are missing. Forget the layering techniques that you already know. Focus on that. Think about what ways you can add flow to your fit. It could be growing out your hair kind of like I am right now. It could be a longer garment or it could be something as simple as an extended belt or a sash. If it's a belt or a sash, ideally you want it on the side of you and not in the front. So let me give you an example. These cargo pants are from the brand called Fried Rice NYC. And it comes with a ton of these straps that you can customize however you want. And I've chosen to tie these belts on the side of me to kind of create a sash. And it just flows as I walk. And it really adds to the fit. It's just a subtle change that really makes a huge difference in my opinion. Here's a basic outfit with these pants. And I'm a walk without the sash and then with it. And you're going to see a huge difference in just a simple fit. And we're going to dive a little bit deeper on this topic later on in this video. I just want to plant the seed in your brain. Just keep thinking about flow, flow, flow. All right. Next reason why you're layering is bad in my opinion, of course, is you're only layering with a hoodie and a regular tee. And there's nothing inherently wrong with this. I personally still do it. I still think it looks good. I just think you're missing out on so much more. To me, this is just like living in one state in the US for your whole entire life. Sure, you can find some beauty within your state. And you also have everything that you need to live. But you're missing out on what the entire world has to offer.  So this would include things like a tank top, a stand collar, a mandium collar shirts, turtle and mock necks, button ups, vests, etc. There is endless options. Now, not only are you going to be able to adjust from warmer and cooler temperatures, if you just wear the same outfit and swap the underlayers, each outfit is going to have a different vibe to it, right? You're going to be expressing yourself differently each time. And the truth is, this is my anecdotal evidence, by the way, I find I get treated a lot nicer whenever I layer with a stand collar or a button up rather than with the hoodie. It may not be fair, but that's real life. I'm not saying it has to be a slim fitting Oxford shirt that you wear at a wedding. It could be something like an oversized boxy one like this one right here. I'm also currently layering with this oversized pinstripe one. And then you also got the tank top. This is perfect for the warmer part of the fall season and early spring before it gets too hot. You've got a deeper collar than a regular t-shirt. It shows off your collar bones and any necklaces that you're wearing more. And so I always recommend building this part of your wardrobe, buying more of these underlayer pieces rather than buying another jacket. It's a lot more affordable too.  Listen, I know we were just talking about layering, but humans are full of layers and there could be a lot to unpack if your mental health is suffering. Can I be honest with you? When I first started this channel, I was down bad. You know, I was questioning whether or not I was doing the right thing for my career and also wondering how am I going to be able to afford groceries this week in New York City. It was definitely not fun at all and I wish I had taken care of my mental health because I was in a slump for months. And that is why I am happy to tell you all about today's sponsor, BetterHelp. So at that time when I was in that slump, I didn't think about it too much. But in hindsight, when I look back at it, that slump really affected my work. It affected the amount of times I was uploading on YouTube. It affected my workout routines. And I'm sure a lot of you guys can empathize and understand or have been in similar situations. So when it comes to BetterHelp, their mission is to make therapy much more accessible and affordable because finding a therapist that you jive with is vital. Some folks may only have one or two therapists in their area to visit in person. However, whenever you use the BetterHelp platform, you are connected to over 30,000 licensed therapists. So if you're not jiving with your current therapist, you don't have to drive to the next closest one. You can easily switch to a new therapist at no additional cost without stressing about insurance, who's in your network or anything like that. And so because this is an online platform, all you have to do is fill out a few questions and BetterHelp will match you with a professional therapist in just a few days.

And that way you can see if it helps you out or not.  Once again, you can click that link in the description or you can head to BetterHelp.com slash Johnny Tye. Thank you BetterHelp for supporting this channel. Back to it. Another reason why your layering is bad is your fit just lacks depth. And I like to use this term called stacking. You need to stack more, man. Just think about it for a sec, all right? What makes a dish look pretty? Let's take something like a bowl of noodle soup or something like that. If you just had noodles and soup, no other toppings, you don't even put the vegetable packet in there.  Who eats ramen like this? Y'all are psychos.  You want to do this with your fits is what I'm trying to say.  So like I said, it's the little things so buttons, zippers, pockets, jewelry, a collar, a sling bag, eyewear, maybe changing the texture of your garments. We can just keep going and going and going. Obviously, I think you can go too far, even though that's pretty hard to do in my opinion. Not only is this going to make your fit better, it's going to add some personality to your fit. Everybody talks about personal style, but they rarely talk about adding personality with your accessories. So let me throw on this sling bag right here. Already adds to the fit as a bit of layer and texture. And I can add even more to it by adding this talisman by Rosen X. Not only do you get a color pop, we get another thing that drapes and flows as you walk like we talked about earlier. And we also get a touch of my heritage in my fit.  That is how you add personality to your fit. Keep on stacking, fellas. On to the next because we got to address that pop of color. It's all about contrast. And that's what I was lacking back in the day. This could be a contrast in color, contrast in styles. It could be a contrast in sizing. Contrast, contrast, contrast. So one of my favorite cities is the shy, shy town, Chicago, Illinois. There's a full on blue lake right next to the city. And there's a ton of beaches, a whole entire lake front right next to downtown. Contrast between nature and a manmade city is what makes the city the city. And it just makes it so much more memorable than New York City, for example. As much as I love New York, I got to go all the way to Long Island or deep in Jersey to hit the beaches. And even if I get to go to those beaches, there's no city in the background. You kind of want to incorporate this into your fits. You can clash fashion styles. You can contrast colors. You can contrast sizing. This adds to the stacking of your fit, and it can add to the flow of the fit. And my final reason, I'm sure there's plenty of more reasons why you're layering isn't that great, is your garments always end at the waist line. And although I still do it, it can be done very well. It can get boring over time. Nothing wrong with the little boredom, but I like to switch things up over time. But yeah, we all know this already. The crop jacket is a perfect solution to that. It ends a little bit higher on the waist, which helps with your proportions. And when you pair it with high-waisted trousers or high-waisted pants, if they tucked in top, it just looks way different than if everything ended at the waistline. That alone is a great switchup that we've all been used to for the past few years. But then you have my favorite, which are longer jackets. And I'm talking about overcoats and parkas. So these, to me, make anyone look a lot more grown up. I don't know how to explain it. And it's not that deep where it's, ooh, you should dress your age, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's not that deep, guys. Obviously, this is going to be subjective to your environment, to your climates and all that, because I don't think anybody in Florida is rocking overcoats. But anyways, this circles back all the way to point number one, flow. As you walk, there's just something about a coat that flows as you walk or blows with the wind. So find yourself some good parkas or overcoats. I have a lot from Uniqlo. Those have been in my wardrobe for years, and I'm going to continue wearing them. You can go oversized. You can go slim fit totally up to you. All right, y'all, that is why your layering is bad and why mine was atrocious. So don't make the same mistakes I did. It was just a little bit of a guide for you guys to help you improve your layering. If you found it helpful, give it a thumbs up, subscribe to this channel, and until then, stay fly.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Ace, Sabo and Luffy decided to become Marines? What rank would they achieve? How strong would they be compared to how powerful they are in the original timeline? And how would they, as Marines, deal with the most powerful pirates in the series? Well, I just spent an unhealthy amount of time figuring this out so that you don't have to. So make sure to keep watching and do subscribe so that we can spend even more time figuring out other crazy ideas in one piece. In the original timeline, Ace, Sabo and Luffy promised each other that they would each become great pirates one day, and they surely did carve out their individual parts. Luffy went on to follow in his hero's footsteps and is now among those considered to be the greatest pirates of his generation. Sabo wasn't able to achieve his original dream of becoming a pirate and writing books about his travels, but instead his life took him on a rollercoaster ride that led him to becoming the Revolutionary Army's second in command. And Ace, in his own tragic way, satisfyingly completed his pirate story that ended with his sad passing. So that's what we got in the original timeline. And before we look at how Ace, Sabo and Luffy becoming Marines would change the story, let's first create a scenario on how such a thing would be possible in the first place. In Luffy's case, witnessing Shanks' heroism firsthand definitely played a huge impact on the impressionable child. So in order for Luffy's perspective to change, a standout figure must leave the same imprint on Luffy about becoming a Marine in the same way that Shanks did about piracy in the original timeline. And there is no better candidate to fulfill this role than his own grandfather, Garp. And in this way, this video could actually be called What if Garp was a more reasonable grandfather to Luffy? An alternate world where Garp treated his grandson in a manner that would actually inspire him. And so in this alternate universe, replacing Shanks' heroic actions from the original timeline is Garp. But given Fusha Village is a small town with not much to do, Luffy would have probably still crossed paths with the red-haired pirates. This time, getting into arguments about who's cooler, the Marines or pirates, still sneakily taking a bite out of free food and therefore ending up with the powers of the Gomu Gomu no Mi. But now, instead of Shanks saving Luffy from Higuma, when Higuma shows up at the bar, Luffy proudly boasts about his grandfather, Garp. And as a result, Higuma doesn't even attempt to hurt Luffy in the first place out of fear for the legendary Garp. And Luffy, witnessing how much power just his name holds, would have utmost respect for his grandfather's status and reputation. And as Luffy spends more time with Garp to be more like him, which can only mean one thing, and that's Garp throwing Luffy into wilder, dangerous scenarios in the name of tough love. Until one day, Luffy is tasked with defeating the Lord of the Coast, which he can't do because he's unable to swim. And so just in the nick of time, Garp shows up scaring the sea king away with just one look, cementing Luffy's decision to follow in Garp's footsteps. But this isn't the only thing Garp manages to influence, because Garp also influences Luffy to install UltraVPN, which isn't hard to do because UltraVPN has all the benefits of a premium VPN for just a fraction of the cost.  But if we don't have gomogomo powers like Luffy, how are we to protect ourselves? Well, thanks to the sponsor of today's video, UltraVPN, you can start improving your safety online while accessing more of what you'd like. UltraVPN is only $199 a month, which is insane when you compare it to the price of other VPNs. On top of standard VPN services, an UltraVPN plan also includes a password manager, which is helpful if your memory is as bad as ZoroSense of Direction, as well as a dark web scan to check if your account log-ins and passwords are exposed on the dark web. As a new customer, you can access a premium VPN for a discounted monthly rate of just $199 by choosing a two-year plan. And if you don't like it, UltraVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for someone like me living in the world down under. UltraVPN with over 100 servers worldwide helped me access loads of content that I can't get in Australia. Look at all of these anime. I didn't even know Haikyuu had a movie let alone four. UltraVPN also doesn't log your online activity, which means that I can't judge you for whatever you're watching, but I sure as hell can judge you for not taking advantage of this great deal. So sign up today using the link below or scan the QR code because your new secure online future awaits. Speaking of new future, Garp still takes Luffy to Dadan to be looked after because he needs to perform his marine duties, and here Luffy meets a young boy Ace, Ace who hates his father for being the most well-known pirate in history, which impacted his life for the worst, which is why Ace decides to follow the opposite path his father took and pursues a life as a marine to take down all pirates. Luffy and Ace get along out of their shared respect for Garp, and Ace introduces Luffy to his friend Sabo. Sabo, who's of noble blood, is ashamed of being one and dreams of leaving his noble status and being friends with Ace and Luffy. Sabo sees exchanging his nobility to becoming a public servant by becoming a marine as a fitting way to achieve this and so aims to become a marine alongside Ace and Luffy. Sabo still runs away from home, but now trains and lives with Ace and Luffy, the three focusing on getting stronger and living out orderly lives to become marine soldiers. And as becoming a marine is a seemingly noble endeavor supported and encouraged by the world government, Ace and Sabo wouldn't have the mindset or the need of a pirate to steal money and treasures in order to raise personal funds to use once they're ready to set off to sea, which means that the trio are less troublesome than in the original timeline, and Sabo stays hidden from his parents because he doesn't get discovered during one of the trio's exploits. Sabo likely keeps his noble status a secret for longer until he's ready to tell his brothers about it. But this also means that as Sabo's family aren't aware that he's still alive to bring him back home, Sabo never finds out the noble's plans to burn down the Great Terminal, nor do his brothers because they never get involved with Blue Jam and so they're not there when the Great Terminal burns down. But it is likely that they would all try to help citizens escape once they do realize the Great Terminal was ablaze and they would see this as their duties as future Marines. A huge difference, however, is that Sabo would never have met Dragon and he never would have left those impactful words on the revolutionary leader. Nor would he have tried to escape Goa Kingdom to rush his journey, instead continuing his training with his brothers and the occasional brutal session with Garb. Now, to kickstart their journey, is Ace and Sabo leaving first to enlist, meanwhile leaving Luffy to follow until he's of appropriate age. And in the original timeline, Ace Sabo and Luffy wanted to leave at 17 because in Sabo's case, this is before he turns 18 and therefore becomes an official noble, which is the exact age that Ace and Luffy left to start their journey. Perhaps in honor of Sabo, who they thought had died, but this doesn't have to be the case if they want to be Marines. But because there's no currently confirmed minimum age requirement to join the Marines, we'll just go by the age of the youngest person shown to join the Marines, which is Kobe, who was only 16 years old at the time he enlisted, meaning Ace and Sabo at 16 years old would have been taken by Garb straight to the Marine headquarters to receive formal training. Luffy would then follow three years later once he also turned 16, therefore starting his journey a full year earlier than he did for his pirate career, which already impacts the series greatly in a number of ways. But most notably, what would happen to the lives of his closest friends in the original timeline, which we'll get to later. But in terms of strength, the three brothers would have likely had a better trajectory in getting stronger by undergoing formalized training because if Garb managed to turn Kobe and Helmepo from sad to chad, then there is no doubt that Ace, Sabo and Luffy would be way more powerful by being personally trained by perhaps the strongest Marine in history and the late Pirate King's rival. However, this means that Ace doesn't go and get stranded at Sixus Island to eat the Meromero No Mi, making both Ace and Sabo non-Devil Fruit users joining the likes of Roger, Shanks, Rayleigh and importantly, their mentor Garb as top tier combatants without Devil Fruits because in exchange, they're exposed earlier and trained in Haki by Garb, who is one of the best Haki users the series has ever seen. Under Garb's training, they will all receive a tough body that underwent rigorous training and a high level mastery of Haki from a young age. And by the time that Luffy joins the Marines, Ace would have had a better grasp of his conquest Haki, which he has awakened by this point. And he and Sabo, who are always toe-to-toe in terms of strength, would be at the least holding the position of Commodore, which is a rank higher than Kobe's current position. And both would be the strongest in their cohorts being considered for the rear admiral positions and Luffy would benefit from having both Garb and Ace to show him the ways as to how to master his own conquest Haki once he enters the Marines. And he would catch up to his brothers in no time. However, Luffy joining the Marines leaves great consequences for a lot of characters from the original storyline. Kobe, for example, would have continued to be a pirate on Alveda's ship and would never reach his potential without Garb's training. And while that's just one example of how the lives of some of the most prominent characters in the series would drastically change if Luffy became a Marine, perhaps nothing is as drastic as how the rest of the Straw Hat's lives would be different. The only Straw Hat whom Luffy and his brothers would have a chance of meeting and have some sort of relationship with is Jinbei, because he's technically part of the world government being a warlord of the sea. The rest? Well, most of their fates are not looking so good. With some even just being straight-up depressing had Luffy decided to become a Marine. Because if Luffy heads out to sea a year earlier in pursuit of becoming a Marine, then he would have likely been on a different route a year from then, which is when Luffy's journey in the original timeline started. And as a Marine, he wouldn't have any reason to take on missions in the sectors where the Straw Hats were first introduced. Shellstown already has a Marine captain in command in Morgan, which means Zoro would have been executed by Helmepo who would then continue to terrorize Shellstown under the protection of his father. A corrupt Marine captain, Nezumi, would continue to take bribes from Arlong, which means Nami would have spent her entire life under Arlong's cruelty in fear of what would happen to a village if she disobeyed. And that's if she's even lucky enough to escape from buggy or any other pirate that she tries to steal from.  And Arlong would continue bribing the Marines to cover up for him. Nothing would be reported to the Marines of the supposedly peaceful Syrup Village, which means that Usa would have likely been quietly killed by Kuro who would inherit all of Kai as well after killing her and achieves his dream of having a luxurious retirement. Living up to his nickname, Kuro of a Hundred Plants. Boratie nor Sanji receives any repercussions on the attack on full body, so I doubt much of that would change. However, Sanji and the Boratie would not be able to stop Don Krieg's attempt to take over the restaurant. And unless Zeph decides to join the fight this time, the outcome of their lives depends entirely on whether Mihawk whose hunting Krieg and his men gets to Boratie on time and without Zoro to duel, Mihawk would have easily finished off Krieg and his remaining crew there by saving Boratie. However, without Luffy and Zoro to inspire him, Sanji would have stayed at Boratie suppressing his dream of ever finding the all blue out of gratitude to Zeph. Chopper would have continued to live his life in hiding while Wapol regains his throne and selfishly resumes his tyranny over Drum Island. Robin would have likely kept working with Crocodile until she either gains enough information via their alliance and then would either be killed by Crocodile had he discovered her betrayal or found her to be no longer of use or she would be hunted down by the Marines due to her connection to a horror. And without Robin, Crocodile would have no way of ever discovering the truth about Pluton and would likely hopelessly wander around in search for an alternate path to the ancient weapon. The CP9 on water 7 would eventually discover Frankie's existence who would be tortured and threatened alongside his loved ones until Frankie eventually gives up the Pluton blueprints or because my bias doesn't like the idea of Frankie ever giving in Frankie would also most likely die. Brooke would have continued living his depressing shadowless life until he finally loses the will to live and exposes himself to the sun. Gecko Moria would have continued completing his zombie army until he's ready to take revenge against Kaido and then would likely suffer another overwhelming defeat or perhaps even death as a result. And since there is no battle of Marineford to summon him there is no war for Jinbei to refuse to participate in meaning that he never ends up in prison in Impel Down and would continue to be a warlord until the government decides to disband the system which may be a long while without Crocodile and Dothlamingo being exposed. And this is just what happens to the Straw Huts. Not counting the kingdoms and citizens that they saved throughout the story nor the Grand Fleet or other pirates whom Luffy and his brothers may even be tasked with capturing which brings us to how Ace, Sabo and Luffy would deal with pirates. The brothers would undoubtedly be involved in legendary clashes against some of the biggest pirate names in the series. The worst generation would be without Luffy and Zoro but the young up-and-coming pirates would still be on the Marines radar and so Ace, Sabo and Luffy would likely come across these pirates and be involved in an ongoing cat-and-mouse chase creating their own separate individual rivalries with no Ace to capture and offer to the Marines in exchange for the warlord title and no battle of Marineford to take advantage of and steal Whitebeard's Devil Fruit. Blackbeard would need to find another way to put his plan into motion having only his original crew with him because he wouldn't have been able to sneak into Impel Down amidst the chaos of the war to increase his crew's manpower. But seeing as how schemy Blackbeard is he will probably find another way and given how quickly the brothers would have all become stronger not only by training with Garb but by also starting their journeys a year earlier Ace and Sabo would have been Marines for a few years and Luffy, who is now in his second year would have likely been able to outmatch the supernovas and stop at least some of them from entering the New World if they are sent along with Kizaru, Sentomaru and the Pasifistas to Saobodi to deal with the rookies. Kizaru, Sentomaru and the Pasifistas would also not only be not occupied with Rayleigh and the Straw Hats and therefore no longer forced to split their forces as it was in the original storyline but they would also now have Ace, Sabo and Luffy in addition to their forces so things really don't look good for the supernova. And should any of the rookies survive Ace, Sabo and Luffy would continue to battle these big names for some time until they eventually move on to bigger and better threats and similar to how Garb and Sengoku used to battle the likes of Roger, Whitebeard and Rocks the three brothers' marine career would involve legendary rivalries against the likes of the Yonko Whitebeard, Kaido, Blackbeard, Big Mom and even Shanks Ace would have one of the more dramatic changes as there is no battle of Marineford and so Ace would continue to keep being Goldy Roger's son a secret serving the Marines and hunting down pirates instead where he'll most likely come across people he interacted with and impacted in the original timeline such as the Whitebeard pirates but this time being on the opposing side and still with his ambition to make a name for himself and create an identity outside of being his father's son which he would now seek to do by defeating powerful pirates such as taking down the four emperors this means he would still challenge Whitebeard and would likely be defeated but obviously not offered a chance to join Whitebeard's crew he would try to bring down Big Mom attempt to kill Kaido as he did in the original storyline and even go after Shanks and even if Ace isn't going on these expeditions alone but as part of a marine deployment led by another admiral or vice admiral you can definitely see the likes of Ace, Sabo and Luffy breaking orders to hastily face the head of the Yonka crew themselves where they would most likely suffer an overwhelming defeat if it was an individual one-on-one battle but this defeat only serving as further motivation for the brothers to keep training until they eventually build up the necessary strength and skills similarly, Sabo wouldn't be a part of the Revolutionary Army and so he would one day face off against his currently closest acquaintances and since Luffy and Dragon don't cross paths in Logetown Engaap would have probably continued not saying anything because he had no reason to perhaps only first bringing up the fact that Dragon is Luffy's father once he witnesses his grandson and his brothers eventually face off against the Revolutionary Army with Ace, Sabo and Luffy rising higher and higher in the marine ranks and being exposed to glimpses of the dark secret that engulfs the world government it's only a matter of time until the three brothers start questioning the very institution they chose to serve especially as they witness up close the injustice in the actions of figures like the Celestial Dragons and these three young men were now each qualified to take on the position of the admirals and would indeed be the most likely candidates but as for now, with no marine fed war there's no change to the marine hierarchy with Sengoku, Akayunu, Kizaru and Aokiji all staying in their positions and this works just fine for the brothers anyways because while they have the strength and skills like Gaap, they can't stand the thought of working directly under the world nobles and so refuse to turn a blind eye to these detestable beings and so the brothers would make another promise to each other this time to collectively challenge the discourse and reshape the marine institution for the better from the inside and just as the brothers opposing difficulties for the world government simultaneously, Luffy and Ace also both have something that Imu and the Gorose fear and that is their dees the dee in their names I mean yes, Gaap has it too but he's a hero and so even if Ace managed to keep his lineage a secret it's only a matter of time until someone finally looks closely into it and uncovers his secret and Luffy is probably someone that they would fear the most because he not only has a dee in his name but he's also dragon son and now a user of the Nika Devil fruit which would have eventually awakened by this point particularly with Luffy having fought multiple Yonko and I doubt the government would allow the very thing that they fear to exist so they'd probably want to go and execute Luffy either to obtain the fruit for themselves or rid it from existence and this could smell very bad news for them because this may just be what Gaap needed to have a change of heart to decide that he is now ready to fully commit to opposing the world government's authority and save his grandsons in the process and this timeline would also introduce a major difference than the original because it's also a huge benefit to Gaap that he trained three of the most powerful marines to ever exist with whom he also has personal relationships Gaap has always been aware of the injustice within the marine system but now he also has the support of three strong allies who by this point each have a number of the other marines looking up to them and willing to follow their command Luffy's contagious nature will come into effect here but this time within the marines making strong allies from the inside who are all willing to follow his footsteps to challenge the injustice Aokiji is proof in the original timeline that you can't change the system from the inside but there is something special about Ace, Sabo and Luffy and that is that they are all so stubborn to the end and collectively with a shared goal it would take the entirety of the world government to have a chance at stopping three of their strongest soldiers leading their charge in fact what we would have now is a civil war between the world government and the marines and perhaps within the marines as well while Gaap, the marine hero alongside new favorites in Ace, Sabo and Luffy are able to rally majority of the marines on their side who all find it much easier to relate and identify with the likes of Gaap, Ace, Sabo and Luffy as opposed to the world government and so they would find on their side the likes of Aokiji and Smoko whereas figures like Akainu with his strict sense of justice for order and loyalty to the world government and now knowing that they are on the same side in opposition of the world government itself Gaap, Luffy and Ko could ally with the Revolutionary Army where at least the two groups would be both working towards the same objective thereby leaving the world government very isolated resulting in a situation where we have Luffy and his brothers alongside their allies fulfilling their promise to take down the current world government and navy system to build a new one but with a better objective focused on helping the public and maybe, just maybe these three may just be able to achieve it and so there you have it What would happen if Ace, Sabo and Luffy decided to join Marines? Can we trade Ace's life for the lives of the majority of the straw hats? What would happen to other characters and what would be the future of the institution of the world government itself?
