Hey, what's up? Welcome to QuickPix. I'm your host, Chantel Chens. And today we're talking baseball. Here are my three best bets for AL MVP. Number one, Aaron Judge at minus 105. No surprise, Aaron Judge is the favorite to win AL MVP this season. And you could argue right now that he is the best player in all of baseball. As of this recording, he leads the league in home runs. He's on pace for over 60. He's also tied for third in RBI, has the best lugging percentage in the league and the best OPS. His batting average is 3-13. He's been absolutely unreal this season for the Yankees. And speaking of the Yankees, they have the best record in all of the bigs. They've also given up the least amount of runs, but also scored the most amount of runs. So Aaron Judge is not only the best player in baseball right now, but he's also playing on the most complete team, which is why Aaron Judge is my favorite to win the AL MVP. Number two, Shohei Itani at plus 500. Ohtani has the second best odds to win AL MVP. No surprise, last season's AL MVP is still doing some things we haven't seen in baseball before. He's pretty much two players. Let's keep it real here. As of this recording, when he's on the mound, he's got a 3.64 ERA, has over 70 strikeouts. And when he's batting, he has an average of 256. 41 runs, 37 RBI. Shohei Itani is still the Angels ace. And I know what you're thinking. He hasn't looked as good as he did last year. Also, the Angels are kind of having an up and down season. But just remember last year, the Angels didn't even make the playoffs and Ohtani still won AL MVP honors. So my second pick for AL MVP is Shohei Itani at plus 500. Number three, Jose Ramirez at plus 950. No doubt about it. I had to mention one of the best players in all of Major League Baseball. Jose Ramirez has been killing it for the Cleveland Guardians. He's actually finished in the top six at MVP voting, all but in one season in the past five years. He also leads the league in RBI. He's on pace for 188 Rivies this season, has the second best OPS in all of baseball, hitting 307. And he actually at one point this season had more home runs than strikeouts. He rarely ever strikes out. And the Cleveland Guardians are actually right on the tail of the Minnesota Twins and the AL Central. I know what you're thinking. The AL Central is one of the weakest divisions in all of baseball. But if the Cleveland Guardians end up winning that division, then Jose Ramirez should win AL MVP. That's it for QuickPix today. Remember to place your bets on the fan dual sports book and if you're going to be betting that responsibly. Good luck.


A very good evening to all my friends, today we have two important announcements to make. The first one is on the Phoenix Initiative course of Shankar IAS Academy. This course consists of four modules, module one will be on Art and Culture and Modern History, module two will be on Indian Policy, module three will be on Environment and Geography and module four on Economics, Science and Technology and International Organization. And each of these four modules will be having free test series along with it. The free test series consists of 18 tests in total, which consists of eight full mock tests, three CSAT full tests, two current affairs tests covering the current affairs from the months of June 2019 to March 2020 and then five monthly current affairs tests covering the current affairs from the months of April 2020 to August 2020. Now each module will be costing rupees 3600 and if the student selects all the four modules, the course fee will be rupees 9999 and for aspirants who had attended the interviews of 2019, this will be free of cost. And it is also free for Shankar IAS Academy 2019-20 batch PCM students and the pre-storming test series 2020 batch students. Now the second important announcement is about the test series which consists of 18 tests in total. So these 18 tests include eight full mock tests, three CSAT full tests, two current affairs tests covering the current affairs from the months of June 2019 to March 2020, then five monthly current affairs tests covering the current affairs from the months of April 2022 to August 2020. So these tests began from 22 August 2020 and the admission will be open till 4 October 2020 and it should be noted that under this test series, top three minute candidates in each of the five monthly current affairs tests will be given 100% fee reimbursement. So in total 15 candidates will be awarded 100% fee reimbursement and for the benefit of the students, if you subscribe for five monthly current affairs test series, then as a complimentary, Shankar IAS Academy is providing additional 13 tests free of cost. Now the cost fee for this exclusive test series is Rs. 1000 and the registration link for these courses is given in the description box and also in the comment section. So with this we'll start our news analysis for today. The list of the news articles along with the page numbers of five different editions is given here for your reference. So now let us take up the first news article for today's discussion. Now this news article is about the great Andamanis tribe, a particularly vulnerable tribal group testing positive for COVID-19. So in this context, let us discuss in detail about the particularly vulnerable tribal groups or PVTGs. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. See, the tribal communities are often identified by some specific signs such as primitive traits, distinctive culture, then geographical isolation, etc. And a particularly vulnerable tribal group or PVTG is a more vulnerable tribal group among the tribal groups. So the Ministry of Home Affairs is trying to identify such groups to ensure their welfare. So in this context, we should know that the Ministry of Home Affairs so far identified 75 tribal groups as particularly vulnerable tribal groups. So at present, the PVTGs reside in 18 states and also in the Union Territory of Andaman and Igoba Islands. Now let us see the four criteria based on which the Ministry of Home Affairs identifies a tribal group as a particularly vulnerable tribal group. So these criteria include pre-agricultural level of technology, then low level literacy, then economic backwardness and also a declining or stagnant population. And know that the Ministry of Tribal Affairs implements the scheme called development of particularly vulnerable tribal groups exclusively for the development of particularly vulnerable tribal groups. See, this scheme aims at planning their socio-economic development in a comprehensive manner while retaining the culture and heritage of the community by adopting a habitat level development approach. So under this scheme, conservation cum development, that is CCD or annual plans, are to be prepared by each state or Union Territory for their particularly vulnerable tribal groups. So the plans are made based on their need assessment, which are then apprised and approved by the Project Appraisal Committee of the Ministry. Know that the activities for development of particularly vulnerable tribal groups are undertaken in sectors which include education, health, livelihood and skill development, agricultural development, housing and habitat, then conservation of culture, et cetera. So it is very important for us to have a brief knowledge about the particularly vulnerable tribal groups of India. But today we will focus on the types of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. See, five tribes from Andaman and Nicobar Islands are categorized as particularly vulnerable tribal groups. They are the great Andamanis, Jarawas, Ongs, Sentinelis and Shonpens. And for their protection, we have the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Regulation 1956. It was later amended in 2005 and 2012. So as per the Act, the Aboriginal Tribes of Andaman and Nicobar Islands means any of the given tribal communities in Andaman and Nicobar Islands and their subgroups. So they include Andamanis, Jarawas, Ongs, Sentinelis, Nicobaris and Shonpens. Now let us discuss this news article. So it says that five members of great Andamanis tribe, which is a particularly vulnerable tribal group, have tested positive for COVID-19. So they have been shifted to an isolation facility in Port Blair, which is the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. So according to the article, there are around 74 members in great Andamanis tribal group. And they speak a language which is called Jarawas. Now with this, we have come to the end of discussion of this article. Now we will move on to the next news article. Now this news article talks about the GST revenue gap and also the measures suggested by the central government to make this shortfall. So in this context, we will discuss some important concepts which are relevant for civil service preparation. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. According to the center's estimate, the annual GST compensation requirement is estimated to be around 3 lakh crore rupees in 2020-21. And the compensation CES collections are only projected to reach rupees 65,000 crore. And this is only 22% of this requirement. Since as you are aware that the GST Compensation Act of 2017 guaranteed the state's compensation for any loss of revenue in the first five years of GST implementation. That is until 2022. So it is compensated by living a compensation CES. We discussed about the GST compensation and CES on our 29th July news analysis. Therefore, overall there will be a shortfall of 2.35 lakh crore rupees which is the GST revenue gap for 2020-21. Now according to the center's estimate, out of this 2.35 lakh crore rupees, only 97,000 crore was due to GST implementation itself. And the remaining was caused by the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. That is the shortfall in compensation due to the implementation of GST has been estimated only to be 97,000 crore rupees. So to meet this shortfall, the center has offered two options to the states for borrowing and the states have seven days to decide their option. See option one is to provide a special window to the states in consultation with the RBA to provide rupees 97,000 crores at a reasonable interest rate. And this amount can be repeated after five years through the collection of CES. And the option two is that the entire gap of 2.35 lakh crore rupees can be met by borrowing in consultation with RBA. This means the states can choose to borrow more that is beyond the expected compensation itself. And this is because of the injury caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. So for the states, the choice is between borrowing less and getting CES later or borrowing more and paying for it using the CES collected during the transition period. In short, if the state goes for option one, it will borrow less but its compensation entitlement will be protected. Here note that for the states that are choosing the first option, the government will give a further relaxation of 0.5% in states borrowing limit another FRBM Act that is the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act of 2003. See talking about the FRBM Act, the Act envisages the setting up of limits on the central government's debt and deficits. So it limited the fiscal deficit to 3% of the GDP. And this is according to the section four, close one of the FRBM Act. Further, every state has its own FRBM Act which sets the same 3% of gross state domestic product cap that is GSBP cap on their annual budget deficits. Now the same section four provides for relaxation under close two. This is also known as the escape close. So under this close, the center can exceed the annual fiscal deficit target citing certain grounds. So these grounds include national security or war, national calamity, collapse of agriculture, structural reforms, or decline in the real output growth of a quarter by at least 3% below the average of the previous four quarters. Now this exceeding of the annual fiscal deficit target or any deviation from the fiscal deficit target shall not exceed 0.5% of the GDP in a year and this is according to the section four, close three. So based on this, the government may have agreed for further relaxation of 0.5% in states borrowing limit. Now with respect to borrowing from RBA, you should know about the ways and means advances or WMA. See ways and means advance is a facility for both center and the states to borrow from RBA. It is a fiscal instrument in the hands of the government tied over short-term mismatches between cash in the banks and cash out go. That is, it is a support for temporary mismatches in the cash flows in the government's receipts and expenditure. In simple terms, it is an advance by RBA to the central or state governments for meeting temporary cash mismatches. So this is provided by RBA according to the section 17, close five of Reserve Bank of India at of 1934. So under this, the Reserve Bank of India is authorized to release WMA that is ways and means advances to the central and the state governments and these are repayable not later than three months from the date of making the advance. So the ways and means advance loans have three months tenure and there is no statutory provision regarding the maximum amount of advances or the rate of interest to be charged. So these matters are therefore regulated by the respective agreements or arrangements which the RBA has made with the central government and the respective state governments. So according to the existing arrangements, the interest rate on WMA is the RBA's repo rate. We know that the repo rate is the rate at which RBA lends short-term money to the banks. So here the interest rate on WMA is the RBA's repo rate. Also know that there are two types of WMA. They are normal and special. Here the normal ways and means advances are clean and insecure advances while the special WMA are given against the pledge of central government securities which are held by the state governments. So under normal and special WMA, there are different limits to borrow and when the limits of normal and special WMA are exhausted an overdraft emerges. And this overdraft allows the government to borrow in excess of WMA limit. And according to the sources, the interest on such overdraft is two percentage above the repo rate. Now since Prillim's exam is nearby, let us take this opportunity to discuss some relevant provisions in the constitution regarding central state financial relations. See the articles 268 to 293 in part 12 of the constitution deals with central state financial relations. First is the allocation of taxing powers. In the constitution, there is a clear demarcation of taxation powers of the union and the states according to the union list and state list of the seventh schedule. You can see it here. And no taxes are listed in the concurrent list of the seventh schedule. Here article 268 is about the taxes levied by the center but collected and appropriated by the states. So it includes stamp duties on bills of exchanges, checks, promissory notes, et cetera. Then excise duties on medicinal and toilet preparations containing alcohol and narcotics. Then article 269 includes taxes levied and collected by the center but assigned to the states. It includes taxes on the sales or purchase of goods other than the newspapers in the course of interstate trade or commerce. And it also includes taxes on the consignments of goods in the course of interstate trade or commerce. Next with respect to grants to the states, there are two articles governing the grants in its from union to the states. The first one is statutory grant and the second one is discretionary grants. See statutory grants come under article 275. See article 275 close one provides for grants in aids of the revenues of such states as parliament may determine to be in need of assistance. And different sums may be fixed for different states. So the close one of this article deals with the promotion of welfare of the schedule types in the state of ASA. And as per close two, no order with regard to grants under close one shall be made except after considering the recommendations of the finance commission. Also know that the grants under article 275 are charged on the consolidated fund of India. Next one is the discretionary grants. Know that the article 282 empowers both the center and the states to make any grants for any public purpose even if it is not within the respective legislative competence. So these grants are known as discretionary grants because the center is under no obligation to give these grants and the matters lie within the center's discretion. Notably the discretionary grants form the larger part of the center grants to the states as compared to the statutory grants. So that is all in this discussion we saw about the provisions relating to the relaxation of fiscal deficit as per FRBMA. Then we saw ways and means advances of the Reserve Bank of India and some constitutional provisions regarding center state financial relations. With this we'll move on to the next news article. Now let us take up this editorial. Here in this article the authors try to explain how to organize phase three clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine candidates. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. See we all know that the COVID-19 has affected almost all sections and all parts of the country. So in this context the authors say that health workers, elderly and those with comorbidities are highly vulnerable. So in this article the authors recommend that these group should be given high priority when a vaccine is made available. Then the authors talk about the ongoing clinical trials of vaccine candidates. So as of now two candidates are in the process of phase three clinical trials. Note that a clinical trial is only done when there is a good reason to believe that a new test or a treatment may improve the health of the patients. And before the clinical trials tests and treatments are assessed in pre-clinical research. Here we should know that pre-clinical research or trial is not done on people. So it is usually done on animals. So what is the objective of a pre-clinical research? It assesses the features of a test or treatment. For example, the research may aim to learn if a device is harmful to living tissues. So as you can see in this picture there are four phases of clinical trial. So phase one trial is for safety and phase two trial is for both safety and vaccine's ability to induce a virus neutralizing antibody. And as you can see the purpose of phase three is to evaluate how a new medication works in comparison to existing medications for the same conditions. And it is also to find other side effects associated with the medication. Then finally phase four is concerned with effectiveness of a drug post its approval. So fortunately, if a vaccine passes all the stages then it can be administered to people. Here we should note that the measure of effectiveness of a vaccine is how many infections or how many death it can prevent rather than how high the production of antibodies is. So what are the objectives of vaccination? See in the short term it is to protect vulnerable individuals from serious disease or death. Then to protect occupationally exposed individuals from acquiring and unintentionally transmitting infections to their patients and family. And another long term objective of a vaccine is to eradicate the viral infection altogether. So to demonstrate that a vaccine achieves the short term objectives it is important that the vaccine trials include a good proportion of special group of individuals. So here the authors are of the opinion that healthcare workers particularly those above 55 years of age should be included in phase three trials. So historically healthcare workers are often being the first to volunteer or participate in several clinical trials. And the participation of healthcare workers will motivate the general public to participate in the trial. And it will also make the recruitment easier. And not just that if healthcare workers are part of the trial it would be very easy to collect and document the information on side effects. This is because the healthcare workers are more aware of the health issues associated with the medication. But the authors tell that due to many factors the moral of the health workers in India is eroded. And the factors include loss of many colleagues then mandatory quarantine of increasing number of infected healthcare workers. Then the struggle to cope with escalating number of cases in the face of workforce depression and also due to the worries about risk to the immediate family members. So how to motivate the healthcare workers to participate in clinical trials? Here the authors take the example of Duke Research Institute. The Duke Research Institute started HERO which has an expansion healthcare worker exposure response and outcomes. So this initiative will encourage healthcare workers to participate in COVID-19 clinical trials. So a similar initiative can be taken in our country as well. But the question is should we include all the healthcare workers in clinical trial? Here the answer is no. Those healthcare workers who have already contracted COVID-19 and those who developed antibodies already do not need vaccination. The surgical studies show that 30 to 40% of the population developed antibodies in metro cities. And the healthcare workers from the remaining population are still susceptible to the virus so they should be included in the trials. In conclusion, the authors say that it would be a good idea for healthcare workers and vulnerable subjects to enrolling phase 3 clinical trials in India. So if this is to be done quickly then professional organizations, civil society, regulatory agency, the Indian Council of Medical Research and also the vaccine manufacturers should act immediately and also allow and encourage enrolment of health workers and the vulnerable people in phase 3 clinical trials. So this is all about the discussion of this news article. With this we'll move on to the next news article. Now have a look at this question. It is framed based on this news article and the article mentions various defence deals between India and Russia. So let us have a brief understanding on different defence equipments from Exxon perspective. Here the article mentions MIG-29 aircrafts, SU-30 MKF fighter jets, then KA-31 helicopters and also S-400 long range air defence systems. First talking about MIG-29 aircrafts, it is a fighter jet developed by Earth-Wire Soviet Union in 1980s. So these jets play vital role in India's air defence. Now Sukhoi SU-30 MKI is a multi-role combat fighter aircraft jointly developed by Sukhoi Design Bureau and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited that is HL and it was developed for Indian Air Force. The first SU-30 MKI variant was inducted into the Indian Air Force in 2002. And the Indian Air Force has nearly 250 plus Sukhoi SU-30 MKI aircrafts. Now talking about KA-31, it is a unique AEW that is Airborne Early Warning Helicopter with a collapsible underbody radar developed by Russia. So this helicopter is designed for protection of warship units operating beyond coastal radars. And it also gives ERW that is Early Radar Warning aircraft's coverage against airstrikes. Then it provides detection of low level targets and ground or sea-backed ground aerial and surface targets and also automatic reporting to ground and ship bone control posts or air defence systems. Now India is planning to buy six KA-31 helicopters. Now talking about S-400, it is one of the most advanced air defence system in the world which is developed by Russia. And it is even considered superior to the US-developed Terminal High Altitude Area Defence that is THARD. See THARD is a transportable ground-based missile defence system. And the S-400 is one of the most sophisticated surface-to-air defence system in the world. The S-400 Triumph is a mobile meaning a moving multi-channel air defence missile system that is ADMS. So it is designed to engage current and future air threats. So it can attack a strategic aircraft carrying airborne missiles, then medium range ballistic missiles and other air attack vehicles by its heavy electronic counter-measure environment. Also it has a range of 400 kilometers and can shoot down more than 50 targets simultaneously. And in India, DRDO developed Prithvi Air Defence System and the Advanced Air Defence Systems. But the range of these systems is very limited So India is dependent on foreign nations for its defence needs. Now have a look at this practice question. What is S-400 Triumph? Sometimes seen in news. Here we have four options given here. The correct answer is Option C. It is a Russian air defence system. Now in this regard we have a previous year question which was asked in 2018. What is Terminal High Altitude Air Defence that is THARD? Sometimes seen in the news. Here the correct answer is Option C. It is an American anti-missile system. So with this we'll move on to the next news article. Now have a look at this question. This question is framed based on this news article which is about the recent development in the Mediterranean region. It says that Turkey will conduct firing exercises in the Mediterranean region. So this move is expected to further deteriorate the Turkey-Greece dispute over the control of eastern Mediterranean waters. So in this context, let us discuss in brief about Mediterranean Sea and the region. As we know, the Mediterranean Sea is an intercontinental sea that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean on the west to Asia on the east. And it also separates Europe from Africa. And it has often been called as the incubator of western civilization. Now talking about the Mediterranean basin, it stretches almost 3,800 kilometres east to west from the tip of Portugal to the shores of Lebanon. It stretches almost 1,000 kilometres north to south from Italy to Morocco and then Libya. So have a look at this map. It is clear that within the European Union, the Mediterranean region encompasses seven member states, partially in France, Portugal, Italy and Spain, and completely in Greece, Malta and Cyprus. And in Africa, it touches countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. See the western extremity of Mediterranean Sea connects the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar. And to the northeast, the Mediterranean is connected with the Black Sea through the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Strait of Bosporus. To the southeast, it is connected with the Red Sea by the Suez Canal. Now let us see the regional features. Though the Mediterranean region takes its name from the sea it surrounds, the Mediterranean is surprisingly hilly. So it includes high mountains and rocky shores, thick scrub and semi-arid steppes and also coastal wetlands and sandy beaches. The region also has a myriad of islands dotted across the sea. Now talking about the climate, the Mediterranean climate is characterised by hot, dry summers and humid, cool winters. The climate is also very capricious, that is, sudden changes with sudden heavy rains or bouts of high winds such as the Sirocco and the Mistral. And this climate has a profound influence on the vegetation and the wildlife of the region. Now what is Sirocco? See, Sirocco is a warm, southerly wind in the Mediterranean region. Near the north coast of Africa, the wind is hot and dry and often carries much dust. And after crossing the Mediterranean, it reaches the European coast as a moist wind and is often associated with low stratus clouds. Now talking about the Mistral wind, it is a strong north or northwest regional wind caused by air funneling through the narrow Rhone Valley in the France. And Mistral is a cold, dry wind which blows offshore out into the Mediterranean Sea. And it blows between Corsica and Bellaric islands of Spain. The speed of Mistral often exceeds 80 kilometres per hour and it can blow for days, usually during the winter and spring. Now, have a look at this question. Consider the following statements. Sirocco is a warm, southerly wind in the Mediterranean region which is hot and dry in the north coast of Africa and moist in the European region. See, this statement is correct. And the second statement reads, Mistral is a strong, cold, dry north or northwest regional wind which blows offshore into the Mediterranean Sea usually during winter and spring. See, this statement is also correct. So, here we have to identify the correct statement or statements among the given statements. So, here both the statements are correct. So, the correct answer is option C, both one and two. So, now we will see the practice questions based on today's news analysis. Now, see this question. Consider the following tribal communities in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. So, we have six tribal communities given here. Great Andamanis, Jaravas, Ongs, Nicobaris, Champans and Sentinelis. So, which of the above are categorised as particularly vulnerable tribal groups. So, as we have discussed, particularly vulnerable tribal groups of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are Great Andamanis, Jaravas, Ongs, Sentinelis and Champans. And the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Regulation, 1956 and its 2005 and 2012 amendments mentions the Aboriginal Tribes. And they include Andamanis, Jaravas, Ongs, Sentinelis, Nicobaris and Champan. So, Nicobaris is not a particularly vulnerable tribal group. So, here the correct answer is option B. Now, here is the second question, which is a previous year question asked in 2011. All revenues received by the union government by ways of taxes and other receipts for the conduct of government business are credited to, here we have four options given. So, the correct answer is option C that is Consolidated Fund of India. So, all revenues received by the union government by ways of taxes and other receipts for the conduct of government business are credited to Consolidated Fund of India. Now, the third question is with respect to clinical trials. Which of the following bodies or institutions approve clinical trials of a drug in India? Here, the correct answer is option B that is Central Drugs Standard Control Organization or CDSCO. See, it is the Central Drugs Authority for discharging functions assigned to the central government under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. So, its functions include regulatory control over the import of drugs, then approval of new drugs as well as clinical trials in India. And with this, we'll come to the end of analysis of all the news articles taken up for today's discussion and also the practice questions discussion.

Journey, because when you know better, you invest better. Join us and experience the difference today. TFNN, educating investors. The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade, what you see. With Larry Pezzavento. All now, toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, Larry Pezzavento. Hey boys and girls, it's not often that when we're live, we get to see something happening that's exciting. And we're looking at December soybean oil, one of my favorite things to trade in the whole world. If you'll notice here, just about five minutes ago, we just hit the exact 361% retracement. This is a Perfect Carly. That's A, B, C, D. Let's just draw it in. So you folks, how about we start from the beginning? Here's your A, B, C, D leg right there. There's A, B, and there's C, D. And it measures to 51. The low today has been 43. If we measure what the 61% retracement is off of this low, that comes in right where it just hit right there at 43, 44. So if you buy here, you only got a risk about, I'll say 40 cents, which would take your stop down to 30, see 40 cents? No, not even that much. Let's say 20 cents, 30 cents. Yeah, your stop would be right here at 48.20. So you'd be risking around $200. This move right here was $1,400. So you've got a really good chance here on the type of move that we like to see. A, B, C, Ds do not work all the time, as we know, but they do work some of the time. There was the high. Now it's looking at this pattern right here. This is exactly what you should be looking for. Now we have our guests today at Stan Harley of the Harley Stock Market Letter. He'll be our guest, but we want to run through some things that are happening because there's some really important things that we were looking for to happen and they have happened. So what we're going to do is take a look at them. First of all, we'll get this out of the way. Now this is the one that didn't work. We thought this 382 was going to hold in the S&P and it didn't. So we took a 20-point loss in that. There's nothing else. We have to wait now. We didn't quite make the 786. We're very close to it. The NASDAQ has went above the 786 by a little bit, but the Russell 2000 has just barely made the 50%. So there's a lot of things going on. So first of all, we'll do one at a time. Do the trades that we have on, or we did have on. We had this trade on which we bought the gold. Son of a gun, let me get this down here. Doing one thing at a time. Well, I can do it here on this hourly chart. We know the big APCD pattern occurred here. This is where our buy point was at 116.29. The market rallied all the way up to 118.15 today. And the first thing I did when I saw this level right here, I said to the folks, move your stop to break even to make sure that you lock in $8,000 profit. And that was so far the right thing to do because it did come down and take us out. And it's gone a little bit lower, but that was a 382 in a bear market. So we think that's the bottom, but we don't know for sure. Looking at this on the daily, it makes a little bit suspect, you see? Because maybe it's gonna go down a little bit more. All we could do was rally to the 382 of this move right here. We were expecting to see at least a powerful move off of here. That has not happened yet. So the next step that we'll do is we're gonna watch this very closely over the next couple of hours because there's a possibility as we look at this and start the new numbers, we wanna see what the retracement's are going to be off this whole thing. Because there's sure, see so far all we've done is pull down to a 382 retracement, which still could be very, very bullish. But my assumption was because of that, I didn't want to risk losing a lot of money. And so, well, first of all, my main reason was we just lost a thousand bucks in the S&P due to the fact that there was a terrible earthquake over in Taiwan. And yesterday in the news, the pundits were saying, this is the end of the microwave era. The Taiwan semiconductor industry is over, which is 90% of the world's supply and everything in the stock market immediately dropped to, well, I think it was down 300 in the S&P and down about 45 or 50, excuse me, down 300 in the Dow, down about 45 or 50 in the S&P, 200 in the Nasdaq. And then all of a sudden, the aftershocks that happened last night were able to take all the bricks that had fallen apart and put them right back to where they were. Unbelievable, they'd never seen this before happen in all of earthquake history, but that's the way it happens. So some days it's chicken salad, some days it's chicken something else. It depends on how you mix it. Okay, now let's move on here to the gold market because we hit a very major number up here. Well, we came close, I think we've hit it. Let's see where we are. This is the ABCD move on the June gold from October low, October the 10th. We went up, that's a perfect ABCD. It measures to 23, 29, say 23, 29. The high was 23, 25. It missed it by $4 and so far, looking at it intraday. Just get it up and see here is one that you look at. We had to move down. The first thing you wanna look for is to sell that 382 retracement, which would have been right here and your stop has gotta be above here. You gotta risk $10 in gold. There's just no other way to get around it. So $10 in this would have put your stop right above the 786. And right now it's working a little bit. And if you looked at this on a short-term basis, this is what's really, I watched this last night because it was rather funny. The last major low we had, this was the last correction, the big correction, went from 97, dropped $27. That was our last big correction. Watch today's low folks, if you like, that old 382 number. There it was right there, right there within $2 of the exact 382. So this is the game plan right now. There's a chance we can go up and make another high. There's absolutely that possibility, but that's not in the cards as of yet. So this is what we're watching here in the June gold. Now we're gonna stay with the metals for just a minute because we've had several people ask about it. This one is quite interesting right here. This is the daily chart of copper going back a long way. Now you see we haven't taken out the highs of January 23, that's when the stock market topped. Now all we've done today was we've taken that whole range right here, this whole range between October and December, multiplied by 1.618 and that takes you to 426. So far that has been the exact high we're still trading at 424. Who says it can't go a whole lot higher? The fact that it hit this number and there's a gap right here. This is really what's unusual. We have that small gap and you just don't see a gap on a copper chart. This is a very heavily, well actually they filled the gap on the new data. Okay, sorry, there was not a gap. You can see the range today, but that's what's happening right now. It looks like a gap, but that little tiny bit was not covered. So we could easily go higher in the copper a little bit and that's not unusual too, but we're right at the 1.618 level. That should be quite interesting as we come up to some of these things here. See how much we got, 50 seconds to go before the end of the period here. We've got Stan Harley today, tomorrow we've got Norm Winsky, but today folks a very important day. The Sycamores of Terre Haute, Indiana, Indiana State University, the Fighting Trees are gonna be playing Seton Hall Pirates for the NIT Championship and that's gonna be a lot of fun. I have $5 on the winning team. I put $5 on each team to make sure I'd have a winner. Let's take a break, eight, seven, seven, nine, two, seven, six, six, four, eight.

Okay folks, I posted the Dow Jones e-mini up here, and as you can see, it did make a 382 retracement today. Remember, the NASDAQ went above the 786, the S&P almost made the 786, but the Dow Jones being only 30 stocks, actually it's only 15 when you consider the triple-digit ones. That's all it's done right here. Hasn't gone very much to the downside. Had a 200-point break after the high was made, but it didn't do very much. If we looked at that from a technical standpoint and took from the low up to the high, you'll see that the bottom was right near the 382, so it really hasn't gone down very much. So it starts getting above here. We could be looking at a potential new high in stocks, which is certainly possible. Okay, now next one we wanna take a look at, it will quick one here on the, you can see here's the Russell at the 50% level right here, so that takes care of that. And then I need to cover the other one that's really super important here, which is Silver. Silver has really had a heck of a run here folks. You have to really respect the 382 when you look at Silver. My goodness, there's where it is right now. This is a long-term weekly. Now we haven't quite taken this out. This is missed it by about four cents, but we're very close to the 78% level. We have a triple, excuse me, a double ABCD pattern in here. There's your A-B-C-D right here, and we have another A-B-C-D right here. And that comes in at 2757. It's now trading at 2724. We'll look at it on a short-term basis, to see we came back pretty good. There was the move down. Okay, so far that move down was 50% off of this low right here. And I don't think it was even close. No, here it was 50% retracement off of this low, but that was a pretty good break. We actually broke from 40 all the way down. We dropped 50 cents in Silver, which is basically a drop in the bucket when you're moving as much as you have going right now. So it's very interesting. We did make that smaller A-B-C-D pattern on Silver today. You can see that, excuse me, yesterday, at the 2737, and the high has been 2744, but this could easily go higher because we're still going higher. You can see just a little bit of the action we've had today. This is nothing more than another small, well, not quite a 382, it misses it by about a penny. So it doesn't look bearish from this standpoint. Anyway, as we're looking, but one that really, really takes everybody into consideration is this euro and the dollar index. And all I need to do is to bring up the dollar index first because here's, we sent this video out last night, early last night, around two in the morning. We were watching this move right here. This was a daily move, 60 minutes. So you can see the daily action. There's your large A-B-C-D to the top. There's your three drives to a top pattern right here. This is where we thought the euro was going to rally from, which it in fact done, but we warned you to take a look at what was happening here because the last correction we had was that far. And so we were expecting it to come and see if it would hold a 382. And it did not. You see it went right below it here. We're not above it. We were just hanging out there right now, but the fact that it did go below that 382 could mean something. Now, if we take a look at the euro, because this is the one that we were watching on a daily basis, there's the A-B-C-D to the downside. We'll do this on a four hour so we can see that the A-B-C-D is on the way down easy enough. And we'll see the 382 where we are right now. Just get this up here. What I'm going to do here is to make it a little bit easier on everybody and hold on one second here. And okay, you can see we've been coming down A-B-C-D, A-B-C-D. We have the big A-B-C-D. Let's just draw that one in. And it takes you down to there. Then you've got another one. This is the one that brought you to the promised land. There you were right there. That was the last one. Now we've had a pretty good rally, haven't we? But I mentioned in this, I said, look, you've got to get this thing really strongly above this 106, at least the 107 level before you can at least think it's a breakout because all you've done so far is rally back. Guess what, folks? Within how close is it? That's within three pips on a four hour chart of the exact 61% retracement from that move. And it is, from this level, it is setting right at a 50% one probably. Now it's a little above the 50%. So this is the moment of truth. We really need to get the year old above that 108 level, 107, 80 or something like that up about another 25 or 30 pips for it to break out. The thing to watch for, now we've had this really strong move here. So the thing to watch for, if this is starting to back off and sometimes you get these opportunities, you come in and take a look. First thing you'd wanna be watching here, I do these live because this gives you something to think about and you can also see how the numbers work. If it backs off down to this area, this would make it a really nice place. Now, if this would take, you don't always get your wishes, but if we could get about three days, let's say two or three days where it came right to here, say down about 50 pips from where it is right now. If you could get that, holy moly guacamole, you're gonna have to love that one. Let me show you why. Shoulder, head, shoulder, that would be out to the 10th. Wow, that's six days. I don't think it's gonna do that, but if it does, I'm gonna leave this on here to see if it does it, because if we do that, you can have a perfect head and shoulders pattern. There's your left shoulder, your right shoulder is right here now. It can't get any lower than right there. You'd like to see it come in right here. So if it comes into the 50% you're okay. If it comes to 618, not so good. So all we gotta do now is we gotta put this thing on the old limit minder right here for the 10th, and I believe the 10th is going to be over the weekend, am I not correct? Why does that say the 10th is today? That cannot, oh, that's next week.  Yeah, next Wednesday, a week from yesterday. So we gotta watch that right there. So that's the one that you wanna possibly get set up for. Because if it happens, it's gonna be a really neat one. Well, I think they're all neat, but you know me, I'm very, very biased. Let me double check to make sure that I didn't miss anything. I probably did. Sheet copper, bean oil. Okay, the bean oil is still acting okay. That's pretty much it. Oh, someone asked me to take a look at the wheat market and I'll be happy to do that. Ooh, if I have time, and I will have time, just give me a second, I'll get this up here. Wheat is acting really good. I believe I have a very strong feeling about these grains, but again, feelings only count in mumbly pegs and darts. So hold on one second, I'll get this up here. There's the Christmas that I'm watching. So here's Christmas wheat. This thing just does not wanna give up very much, folks. It's been in this mask consolidation here for 10 days. If we ever get above here, ever get above 620 in December wheat, you do not want to be short because that thing has got a long way to go if it decides to go. Look what it's done so far since that big bottom we were looking at back in here. All we were able to do was to back off to a 382 retracement once, 382 retracement twice, 382 retracement three times. This thing's ready to break out. If you get above 621 in that December wheat, it's gonna go higher. This is strong consolidation, folks. That's two weeks of consolidation. There's nothing wrong with this stock. They're all higher bottoms. Hi, folks, this is Tom O'Brien. It's the 22nd anniversary of the Gold Report. Can you believe it?

First, we'll take a look at the long-term picture of the daily. Larry, are you able to hear me? Hey, Mr. Harley is in the house. Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness. Let me double-check to see if we can have his. There, we're in good shape now, my friend. It's all ready to go. Please continue. And we're all ready to listen to what you have to say, my friend. Well, thank you, thank you. Had a little technical challenges at the outset, but we're good to go here. I do that every day, Stan. Okay. Yeah. I thought we'd talk about something different today, like the stock market. Okay. So, in keeping with my theme, I think we're in the ninth inning here of a bull market that has lasted for, geez, since 1932. I think we are approaching a secular market peak, not today, not tomorrow, not this week, not any time imminently soon, but I think towards the end of the year, like this November might be a good time to be looking for what could be a major, major market peak. November? November. So, how do I come about all that? Well, we've talked in the past, I've shown some of my long-term work, going back to 1602, and I'll do that again in the future talk we have here on the air. Here is a weekly chart, going back to the early 1980s, and you and the readers I know are, I'm sure aware of my fondness for Fibonacci and all things Lucas. Well, as it turns out, all of the dominant peaks on the chart for the stock market, on the weekly chart, well, indeed on the monthly as well, can be defined by the Lucas number series, and there are times two multiple, every single one. So, it turns out the spacing between the highs is a Lucas number multiplied by two, every single one. So, for example, from the 2000 high in March of that year into the October or seven high, that was just four months shy of 398 weeks, which happens to be, in case you forget, I've got the table over here, Lucas 199 times two. The next sequence between the 2007 high and the 2015 high, again, about 398 weeks, Lucas 199 into the Feb 2020 high, that was approximately 246 weeks, which is Lucas 123 times two, and so on. And the next double count in the Lucas series from the January 2022 high and a clustering from the Feb 2020 high, clusters this November. So, to this point, every single high has been defined on the weekly charts by a doubling of the Lucas count. Now, does it necessarily have to happen again? No, it doesn't. At some point this, yes. That cannot be a coincidence. Not going back that far, no. No, it's not a coincidence, no, it's math. It's Fibonacci, Lucas, these numbers, I believe, I'm an aerospace engineer by training. There's simply a formula to define what the unknowing might think would be randomness in nature. It's not random. There is math, there is order here. And what I'm showing here on the screen is that, it's the math, it's the order that defines how market highs and lows are made. So, between now and November, we've got lots of bull market ahead of us. Here is another weekly chart, scrunched down a little bit over the last oh, six years from 2018 through the present. And what I show here are all the dominant troughs, low points on the weekly chart. I've drawn there with purple vertical lines. And they are separated by a time span of approximately 34 weeks. Now, that's a cycle that expands and contracts sometimes is a little less, sometimes is a little bit more. But when one analyzes this over the long haul, puts the data into a spreadsheet, does it ring the bell? Absolutely. Somebody has a question coming in from the den. Let's see what it is. Hold on one second here. Well, assuming the pattern continues, and I understand we have a question. Oh, wait, one second, Stan, they're saying that your screen is not coming through on Skype, could you... Oh my gosh. Yeah, well, that's what we call technical difficulties, which are my specialty. By the way, we had a question from one of our listeners here, Dan, you were aerospace engineer. You weren't by any chance the gentleman that worked on the doors for Boeing, were you? I had to bring that up, Bubba. I don't think you ever, that's about 40 years since you've been an engineer, haven't it?  Yeah, I left Northrop Grumman in 1993. Wow, that's been 30 years, holy cow. I can't do that math. You got to do that for me, you're better than I am. Shucks, if the charts aren't coming through, that's disconcerting. Oh boy. Well, they're going to reconnect here in just a second, and we'll see. Here's what they're asking you to do is to close Skype, and then keep your screen share running. Oh no, no, no, don't close it yet. Now they're giving me another, I'm reading these, I think, don't read these out loud. This is a real challenge for me to stick to this stuff. I don't know, I really don't know what to do. Well, what we can do, well, I have a during the break, I could well know if I disconnect, then that won't work. Well, I don't know, we'll figure that. Well, I'll just talk it through, how about that? I've got a different, Yeah. The intermediate cycle that I'm talking about that people can't see, the last occurrence of that cycle was on October 27th, 2023, and we've had just a ramrod move to the upside from that low. Oh boy, yeah, whatever. It is due again, right around June 21st, 24th, right around the summer solstice. And of course, before we get to a low, we have to get to a high in that cycle. And so far, we are experiencing right translation, meaning the high so far is well to the right of the midpoint of that cycle. Well, that's what you would expect in a bull market environment. I think the high in this 34-week cycle occurs in mid-May. So what is that? We have about another five weeks of upside chugga-lugging, and then we'll probably get the most important decline of the year between about mid-May and late June. And that'll be a good time to take a look at your portfolio and your charts and get set up for the next run. And then right around the summer solstice, give it a day or two or three, I would expect the market will regroup. We will have worked off the overbought conditions and get set up for the next move higher. And Larry, I think the back half of the year is gonna be ramrod to the upside even more than what we've seen in the first half of the year. Holy moly, glock-a-moly. Stan, we're gonna take a break here to pay some bills and hopefully we'll get this thing straightened out so we'll see you live, okay? Okay, I'll work on that. Give us a couple, we have three minutes here. We'll see if we can get it fixed. Many trading newsletters attempt to focus on a narrow set of equities or commodities.

Why is there an echo? I don't know. I'm getting an echo as well in my connection. It just started during the break. I don't know what's going on. Technical difficulties. Let's see if you can put your screens up. Okay, I'm going to try again to share my screen and see if this works. Vista's ratio. Oh, okay. Very good. And I can see you on my other screen. So it looks like we're coming through here. Got it. This is a topic I thought I would bring to light some research I've been doing. There are essentially two measurement ratios out there. One of them, of course, is well-known, the Golden Ratio based on Fibonacci relationships and, of course, Lucas relationships. There is another mathematical ratio, not so widely known, not so well understood, but it's called the Plastic Ratio, discovered by a Dutch mathematician about 100 years ago. And this is its simplest form. The Greek letter rho, that's not a P, that's rho, is equal to 1.32. It's roughly 4 thirds. So what does that mean? Well, it means there is a series of expansion and nature on the order of about 1.3. And I see it a lot in nature and I see it a lot in the markets. So let's look at some charts. Well, before that, these are the so-called patavin numbers, somewhat similar to Fibonacci, but the difference is when you take the successive numbers in the patavin series, add them together, you don't get the third one, you get the fourth one. So in Fibonacci, you'd have 1 and 1 is 2 and so on. Well, with the patavin sequence, you have 1 and 1 is 2, 1 and 3 is 3, so you skip the one in between. So you add two numbers together in succession and then you get the subsequent one after skipping one. And those, when you divide them out, truncate to 1.32. And then I've done some algebraic manipulation of the plastic ratio. And these are the ratios that I get. And then when I plot them on the charts, it presents some very, very interesting information. Let's take a look at the gold charts. These vertical lines are not spaced by Fibonacci relationships. They are spaced by the plastic ratio. So what I've done is I've put all of the highs and going back to 2020 and put the dates into a spreadsheet. And it does a dandy of a job of defining the high-to-high sequence. Indeed, there's a standard deviation here of only 1.03 weeks, which is very, very well. As you can see, there's a standard deviation. And it's suggesting the current week might be right for a potential reversal because it has to happen. But assuming the plastic ratio sequence continues, we need to be on alert for a potential high in the metals market. We've got gold, of course, breaking out to new highs. But take a look at the divergences. Not so silver, not so palladium, not so platinum. In a measured move, I want to see all components, or certainly most of the components of the precious metals complex, just like with the stock market, moving up or down, or going to new highs or going to new lows. But when we don't, we have divergences and that usually is most important at the final turn. So my takeaway here is metals are ripe for a pivotal high. We just need to see it develop. And then here is a chart that I've shown before, updated. The monthly chart going back to 1970 has reflected a trough-to-trough sequence of 94 months. Every low, every standout low is spaced by an interval of 94 months in the United States, and 94 is Lucas, 47 times 2. And it's due once again in the latter part of May. So I suspect we're going to see a high develop here shortly in metals, and then we're going to get a short but sharp decline to make the next low sometime in May, or it could push out a little bit further to the right in time. But we need to see this 94-month cycle low in gold develop and we're going to get any significant and sustained push to the upside. Standout? Yes. We have been friends for a very long time and I want to make a statement here. Okay? You will never have to worry about anyone saying that I stole this stuff for me. It's so far away. It's really quite exciting to see these. I've never heard of this number starting. Is that what it's called? Yes. Yes. A German mathematician. Oh, I thought that was a guy that was a San Francisco gunfighter. Pavatin will travel. Yeah. Oh, that was Paladin. That was a different dude. Okay. Paladin had gun will travel. Yeah. You and I were like that. Nobody else listening does, but you and I do. Well, no, there's a few people out there near our age, but they're a nursing home. They gather up as a group. So we're okay. That's really exciting. I've seen a lot of different ratios, but never that one. That's really exciting. If we run out of time, ring the bell. Let me know. We're doing great. Here is Mr. Bitcoin and a couple of things here. All things Lucas. Again, this is the monthly chart of Bitcoin. It's a log chart, of course, to make it more easily readable. Every single high, every single one can be defined by the Lucas number series or it's times two multiple. So as measured from the first high that we saw in Bitcoin in June of 2011. So I put the zero line there and then count to the right in time, 22 months, which is Lucas 11 times two, Lucas 29 months and so on. And the next number in the sequence is Lucas 76 times two, 152. So when I add 152 months to June 2011, it lines up with April 2024. Oh, boy. Hello. That's where we are. When is that? That's right now. Wow. There's a lot of people. I'll tell you, Stan, when I look at these Bitcoin people and some of my friends shares me the dialogue that goes on with some of these folks. Well, this, this sequence historically can be plus or minus two months. So what I'm saying is the numbers, the math is suggestive in the present time frame plus or minus two months for what I think could be an important high in Bitcoin. Well, let's let's drill it down here to the daily chart and let's slap on our friend plastic ratio and look what I found here. All of these purple lines, the major highs in Bitcoin, the major lows all line up within four to five calendar days of a perfect plastic ratio sequence. And people can take a screenshot of this if they have an interest and go back and study it. But I put all the dates into a spreadsheet, turn the crank, and it says you're looking for about April 13th.  Holy cow. Stan, thanks for joining us, buddy. This is really great stuff. I really appreciate it. Stan Harley, the Harley stock market letter,<PHONE_NUMBER>. That's his phone number. Anyway, folks, thank you very much for joining us with Stan. Stay tuned. We've got a little wrap up here. And then tomorrow's guest will be Norman. Calls it to the minute. We'll be right back.

Okay, folks, this is a 8-minute chart of crude, all of the most actively traded things in the world, just going to look at it on a little bit of a scale. We'll just draw in the first pattern right here. We'll call this XABCD, and that one takes you right to there, and then we have another one that is right here, and we'll draw that one in, and you take that one up, and that takes you right down to here. Okay, there's a bunch of little ones in here, but these are the main ones that were right here. Now, this is a classic three-drive to a bottom pattern, as you can see, drive one, drive two, and drive three, and we are getting a very substantial rally, as a matter of fact. We are approaching, let's get this over here a little bit, a highs that we made here on the second, excuse me, the third. We're already a bow, we're right at the 786 retracement as we speak right now. The reason why you shouldn't sell this is there's not an ABC here in this all the way, with this power coming through here. It's telling you that this could be a really big one. Remember, looking at this on the daily basis, we are near Breakout City, giving up here to 86-68, which is not very far away. So let's keep a close eye on that one. I want to make sure that I have the old thing. That's another $1, something a barrel looking at it. Anyway, that's what we're watching here today. Remember, tomorrow we're going to have Norm Winsky who is our guest from Terre Haute, Indiana. Of course, he's actually from Franklin, Indiana, but he went to school at Indiana State as I did along with Indiana University, Purdue University. And I had some classes at Northwestern University. I don't count the medical school classes because I wasn't there long enough to even count. I was only in medical school for six weeks. Boy, did my mother get mad at me. Oh my God, I can still hear screaming at me. Anyway, that's what we're looking at today, folks. Thank you for watching. We'll see you on the flip side tomorrow. Bye, folks.


Hi, I'm Jenny Guaither, the co-director for the Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics Residency. We were established in 1995 and residents complete a five-year program in both emergency medicine and pediatrics and our board eligible in both. We accept two residents per year and our graduates have gone out all over the country completing fellowships and things such as EMS and moving on to both academic and community centers and have become leaders in their field even directing emergency departments and becoming program directors. Hi everybody, my name is Tasha. I'm a fourth-year combined resident. The reason why I chose a combined program is the incredible versatility that it offers. We get to do PEDS inpatient, we get to do PEDS outpatient. You can do PEDS subspecialty, adult ED or PEDS ED. I'm interested in global health and so I found that would be very adaptable towards the global health setting. Additionally, why Baltimore? Well, I was very interested in this specific program as soon as I heard about shock trauma. Shock trauma is the pioneer in trauma medicine. They came up with a golden hour. We get to do five rotations there and people travel there from all over the world to train and I think it's simply outstanding. The other incredible thing that we get to do is journal clubs. We have monthly journal clubs specific to us where we get to travel all through the city and go to each other's houses. Hey guys, I'm Kelsey. I'm one of the second-year residents. For me, I chose emergency medicine pediatrics just because I truly just enjoyed both specialties so much when I was a med student. Having the opportunity to do full spectrum emergency medicine and pediatrics was a huge draw for me. In my future practice, I'm hoping to do a combination of community ED where I have a pediatric niche as well as doing some pediatric primary care a couple of days a week. In addition to shock trauma, we also have a lot of great unique training opportunities here. We get to go to Children's National for a pediatric trauma and burn rotation. We have some dedicated pediatric anesthesia time. We have opportunities to go to Hopkins for their PZD as well as plenty of time in our own pediatric ED here. Our residents really live kind of all over the city. There's a lot of great unique neighborhoods with their own fun bars and restaurants. I recently bought a house out in the suburbs, so there's really something for everyone here in Baltimore. It's really just a fun place to train and great place to live. Thanks so much, guys. I really look forward to seeing you guys over Zoom for your interviews in a couple months.


the best revenge on your ex. Never beg for your ex to not leave you. Never beg for them to come back. Many people may not want to lose their ex and they will be willing to do anything for them. They will tell their ex whatever they want to cure, whatever they think will make them stay. But when you do that, they're just going to see you as weak. They're going to see you as a low value person. So you need to stay in control of your emotions because getting emotional is not going to make them stay. They might stay for a short period of time if they're a good person and they feel sorry for you. But it's never going to be the way it was before. It's never going to be the way it was in the beginning. Not if you're doing things that you didn't do in the beginning. When you first met your ex you didn't beg them to be with you. You didn't argue with them. You didn't act whiny and needy. So when you're begging them to stay, that's really the worst thing you can do. They might feel sorry for you, but they're not going to have any respect for you. So even if they do come back for a short period of time, they're going to have a lot of demands. Because now they think you need them more than they need you. So you're the one who has to cater to them. You're the one who has to make things right if you want to get your ex back. You have to let them go. But that's only if you want them to stay.  But if you do want them back, you need to realize that you have a scarcity mindset. You are obsessed with a lack of something. So you need to find your abundance. Because your ex knows that you're only thinking about them. They know you don't want anyone else. They know you don't have any other options. They know they're the most important part of your life and that you depend on them for your happiness. The person who walks away is the one who has the power, which is why it would have been better for you if you had walked away before they left you. If you told them that you're not happy with how they're treating you and you don't want to be with them anymore. Because now they're not going to come back until you're not thinking about them anymore. Until you no longer desire them as long as you're obsessed with them and you're constantly messaging and calling them. They're just going to ignore you. It's only when you start to move on that they will suddenly take notice of you. But until then, you will be heartbroken. You will be depressed. You will want them to come back. You will be reading their old messages. You will be looking at your pictures together and wishing that you could experience that again, which can be a very painful thing to go through. It may even make you angry until you start to remember all of the bad things they did to you because when you wanted them to come back, you forgot about everything they did. You only remember the good times. You saw them as being perfect because you had a scarcity mindset. You were deprived of love and attention and you were starving. So you put them on a pedestal. You saw them as better than they actually are because you weren't afraid of losing them. You weren't afraid of being alone, but the best revenge on your ex is when you don't have that mindset, when you don't need them, when they try to come back to you and you choose to reject them because when you have an abundance mindset, they will come back. They will try to make things work with you. They will tell you they love you.  They will come back as if nothing has changed. But by that point, you may have already moved on. You may have met someone else and you may not want to go back to them and that is when you can get the best revenge. You can treat them exactly how they treated you. You can ignore them. You can put your new partner on display. You can put them through the exact same thing that you went through. You can give them a taste of their own medicine, but it's not going to make you feel any better because by that point, you will have moved on. You're not going to care about them anymore.  Instead of focusing on the things that hurt you, the things that brought you down, the only pieces of your past that you need to keep are the lessons you learned along the way.

A quick edit guys. To do this farming under a minute you need a team of three. So in that team of three one person runs to the fourth and fifth chest straight away while the other two go to the first, second and third. Make sure you have the option to auto pick up loot selected within the options and you are good to restart the process with any loot you don't pick up to automatically be added to your inventory. So enjoy this farm people. So people I am back with another Outriders video and today I bring you what's probably the fastest method in earning that loot in the game. I mean you know I posted a video in farming the captain boss which is pretty quick and you get quite a lot of loot there but me doing this I got my first Legendary which you can see me holding right here absolutely beautiful. Now before we get into this you need to make sure you've completed the demo whether you're a level 6, 7 whatever and you have World Tier 5 unlocked. Once you've completed the demo though you can go back to the lobby menu and you can restart, select any story point and go back and farm it. So you want to do it from this right here confront the altered at the tower. So click that press a confirm load this bad boy up and in this farm you can farm five chests, five chests then just repeat this process which I'll do with you today in this video. But guys if you do enjoy this video leaving a like really just help me out and if you're new around here and want to see more Outriders be sure to subscribe. Now I was farming the captain on stream did it for about an hour I know a lot of people get lucky there but me getting no luck I've come here within 45 minutes boom got one.
