Okay, I'm back. Can everybody hear me? Is anyone alive? Actually, it's our host for today, Melissa Armo, TheStockSwoosh.com. Thank you so much for that introduction. So welcome everyone, my name is Melissa Armo. If you have questions as we go along today, you can type it in the room. And I own my own company called TheStockSwoosh. So today I'm going to give a short lecture here and you can write any questions as we go along. I see some familiar faces. But again, if you have questions, I'll answer them as we go. Today we're going to talk about how you can earn 25 grand a month trading gaps. So I've been doing gaps for 10 years. Okay, 2008 I started. And if you've never traded gaps, it's a very unique way to look at the market. I also talk on Fox News and Fox Business Network about stocks. So if you're interested, you can find me on Fox. I will be on tomorrow evening at six o'clock. And if you'd like more information, you can contact me by phone or email Melissa at TheStockSwoosh.com or 929-3200 Gap. I love Gaps. So we're going to talk really about trading and specifically trading for a career because if your goal is to make $20,000 plus a month, $20,000, $25,000, it's about five, six grand a week. Okay. If you're looking to do that, then you could do this for a living. And a lot of people get into trading and they dabble with it. And they do it part-time here and there. But I'm telling you, this is serious money. And if you want to make that kind of money, then you have to take it seriously as if it is going to be your career. Now maybe you have to transition. But the middle of the year, we're in July. In fact, it's almost August, but it's a good time to evaluate, are you making the money that you want to for this year? Are you on track for your goals financially for your job or whatever you're doing right now if you're working for somebody else or even if you are trading? So if you're trading right now, are you on track? And if you're not, how are you going to get on track? Okay. When I started out trading, again, this was 10 years ago. The reason I did it is because I wanted to change careers. I worked doing mortgages and I worked seven days a week. I couldn't stand it by the time I got out. I mean, I just couldn't. It was like I had no break and I didn't like it. And I'm telling you, when you do something that you enjoy, it makes a huge difference in the quality of your life. When you hate your job, you're miserable. And when you love your job, every day can be very, very happy. Okay. So it's a huge massive difference between doing something that you enjoy and doing something that you don't like at all. So if you've ever thought about trading, one of the benefits is that you work for yourself. You work for yourself. You work from home. You also can make a lot of money trading the market. All right. So that's another very positive aspect of it too. The amount that you make is only dependent on your risk.  So I enjoy reading charts. I love reading charts. I love being able to predict where stock is going to go. That's something I do extremely well. And we're going to talk about a couple of those calls here tonight. Facebook fell off a planet today. And I predicted that last week on the earnings from Thursday to today. That to me is fun. And also I trade a short time of the day, which makes it very fun too. So you could do other things with your life. I happen to be doing TV, which I love. But you could do other things too. You could spend time with your family. You can go golfing. Whatever you want to do. It's the summer here in New York. Weather is beautiful. Lots of things to do. Central Park is out there. I mean, you have the rest of the day to yourself once you're out of the trades. So if you want to do this, it can offer you a lifelong career. And not only that, you can look at it as something that you can do for long-term investments, where you don't have to rely on a stock broker necessarily to take your trades or manage your retirement accounts. So why trade gaps? Trading is a career. And it's a career that can offer you financial freedom, fulfillment, and happiness if you think you're interested. That's why you're here. You're here to find out if you're interested. Or maybe you are interested. You know you are, but you don't have a strategy to trade. That might be the other reason you're here. You can have the life you want that's new and then develop the skills to become successful in a new industry. Which would be trading. Which would be the market. Which would be stocks. So I do stocks. So you can develop skills in anything new. And it doesn't have to take forever. I know a lot of people say, if you learn a good system and a good strategy, you can do it right out of the gate. In fact, there was a man that signed up for the class yesterday. He's doing the class this weekend. He made money today in the trades already. And he almost didn't even sign up. If he would have waited one more day, he would have missed today's trades. Huge calls today. So, you know, you can do this, but you got to follow what I say. All right. And gaps do set up daily. Now right now we're in earnings season. What does that mean? Companies report their earnings four times a year. That's quarterly earnings season. So all of the month of July and on August up until Labor Day is a very busy time to trade. It's a very profitable time to trade and to be in my trading room with me. So that's why I'm doing classes at this time. Twitter hard earnings. Okay. It was last week on Friday. Great call. I'm going to go over this trade today. Fell. It was a short. Okay. Now what does it got? For those of you that don't know, it's a difference between the close and the open. This is a daily chart of Twitter. And gaps happen every day in the market or most days. Okay. Fell continued down today. And they happen quick. When you look at those bars, you maybe can't tell from the daily chart, but I can tell when I'm watching them and I'm watching them in the one minute, they set up very, very fast. And that is attractive. It's attractive to me as a trader to set up and trade and get in and out very, very quickly. So you're working for full-time pay with part-time hours because you're only in and out of the trades fast. That is something that I like a lot. I don't have to sit and wait for trades to set up till 11 o'clock, noon. I don't have to wait for them to go till 12 o'clock, either. Most day traders are not taking any entries in any trades until 10 o'clock or later. Okay. We are in and out between 9.30 and 10 o'clock Eastern time. And I'm seeing some people sign in. You can always email me or write a question in the room if you have questions. We go along here at FYI and people that are signing in late. Anyways, you don't work all day. So we're in and out in the morning. You're not training till 4. And you can also do this from home, which is attractive too, because you don't have to commute. You don't have to work on Wall Street. You don't even have to live in New York to trade the market. And they set up fast, which is what I like. And we're going to talk about some of these trades. So if you learn how to trade, you can be your own boss, which is a positive thing. And you can work your own schedule and you could do it in between of a job if you have. Or even if you're doing something else, like real estate. There is a trading strategy that I trade and this is what I do. And I also teach it. It sets up very quickly each morning and the strategy is gaps. I name my system golden gaps, but gaps are out there and a lot of people do gaps for the don't do them correctly. So gaps not only work fast if you get them right, but they also offer a good risk to reward payout. This is important because you need a sustainable trading method if you want trading to be your career. This is something that you really, really want to do. Then you have to have something that's going to make a good risk to reward potential, set up on a regular basis and have big moves. So if you want to do this and trade for a living, what do you need? A strategy, that's number one. You also need a strategy that's reliable, sets up often a regular basis and it's got to have a good risk to reward payout. Because you have to be able to pay yourself. In other words, what do I mean? I mean if you risk a dollar, you're looking to make a dollar. You're not risking 10 cents to make one penny. You're not risking a dollar to make 10 cents. You have to have a one-around flip around or at least a half. It's not a good trade to risk a buck and make 10 cents. And a lot of people trade like that. A lot of people scalp. I call it scalp. We don't scalp. We're looking for a move. We're looking for a money move. And I'm going to show you that in the Twitter. Any questions so far here? I see some people signing in late. Anyways, I really think honestly that in this environment in 2018 and particularly, you know, the political environment right now, everything, it's very interesting the way the economy is studying up, the way people are.  They're taking upon themselves to say, you know what? They may have jobs. We're saying I deserve more. I deserve a better job. I deserve a better salary. And if they're not getting it from their employers, they're quitting. People are quitting. They're funny other jobs. People are realizing they can work for themselves. And day trading is something where you can work for yourself.  All right? You have to set yourself up for success. When I start out in the morning, I have everything figured out before even the market opens, before 9.30, what I want to do, what stock I like, whether I want to do anything. Okay? One strategy is all you need to be successful. Being in jack of all trades really doesn't make you any money. I've talked to so many people in the six years I've had the business, the stocks whoosh, and they say, well, I've been trading for 20 plus years. I mean, you know, it doesn't matter if you know all kinds of information, if it doesn't make you a dollar, if it doesn't make you any money, if you're not profitable, it doesn't mean crap. Okay? You have to have a system and a strategy that actually works and makes you money because that's why you're going to do it. All right? Even though trading is fun, you have to see the results. And I'm telling you that getting good at one thing and becoming an expert at one thing counts. So the market can offer you a real lifelong career if you have a strategy that makes money consistently. So what is the thing that I do? What would you come if you wanted to learn from me? If you wanted to take this seriously and really learn it and do it and trade in the room with me, it's called gaps. And I called my system gold and gas because it's like finding gold in the market. Facebook and Twitter are great examples, although I could give you a million. But, you know, we're going to talk about these here today. So what is a golden gap? A golden gap is a gap that moves in the direction of the gap. So if the stock gap's down, you're looking to short it. If the stock gap's up, you'd be looking to go long it. Who makes golden gaps? Institutional money makes and creates these gaps and they follow them through. Okay? They follow them through in the gap themselves. So in the case of a bullish gap, institutions are buying the stock. Therefore, the stock moves higher on the trading day. In the case of a bearish gap, institutions are selling or shorting the stock. Therefore, the stock moves lower on the trading day. Okay? So how do you make money? You only can make money shorting a stock if the price is dropping. For example, if you short it at 10 bucks, if it goes under $10, you're going to be out. If it goes over 10, you're down. So you don't want that to happen. You want to get in a stock that's dropping if you're shorting. And I like to focus on shorts. Okay? So when you're trading, you have to take risk, whatever that risk amount is, whether it's $500, $200, $1,000, whatever you're risking. Remember, you're learning to flip it around at least once. That's your goal. But either way, okay, you have to have high odds. You can't just say, well, I'm going to take this. I'm going to take this. I'm going to take this. You can't take 10 trades and have five work and five fail. You don't want to have high odds. High odds means the more that if you take 10 trades, more are going to work than fail. All right? So anything that can put the odds in your favor to trade will give you an edge. The Golden Gap system gives you an edge because it uses a rating or scoring system that picked the stock to trade. I mean, that's how I do it. That's how I pick the stocks each day that we do. And it reads the price of the gap and I'm doing it in the pre-market using technical analysis on an advanced level. And at pinpoints, which stock to trade that day and in what direction? So the high probability is inequality and the detail in the rating system. Very important. And so 26 points is what I look at. It seems like a lot of stuff and it seems like a lot of information, but it's really in the detail. And it only takes a few minutes to rate one gap. So you get good at it. You get used to it. It takes just a couple of minutes and you're in and you're out of it in a couple of minutes. So the prep time, I'd say give yourself one hour before the open to prep yourself. And then just a few minutes between 9.30 and 10 to take a trade. Okay? Any questions so far about anything from anyone that's here? I want to give some time for questions if I'm going along. Anyways, getting back to what I was saying. So the golden gap system, that's what I do. I created my own system myself and I did it because I wanted to find a way to make money in the market every day. And I prefer it to short. So the golden gap system is a 26 point professional bearish gap rating system. The purpose of the system is to help you evaluate which gap to trade each morning using a checklist so that checklist goes through. Boom, boom, boom. And it's your using a 26 point checklist trade and that creates the high probability of success. Okay? When I go through and I rate the gap, that puts the odds in my favor if it gets a lot of points. So I'm looking for 20 points or more. Okay? And I'm not looking for a perfect score. I'm looking for a high score, high probability. Okay? So I go through and I'm trying to find what I'm doing before the open. Now, a lot of people say to me, well, how do you find gaps? What do you do? How do you find them? Okay? Well, I go through. You can look up all the earnings that are out. Typically stocks, gap that have earnings or look on your scanner. A lot of places have scanners that are included with your platform for free or you can pay for a scanner if you want to. It's totally, totally up to you but a lot of these things is free information where you find the stocks that are gapping and then you take them and you go through the checklist and you qualify them. Okay? And that's what you would learn how to do from me. So how can you make a career out of trading golden gaps? You trade and you're looking for what? You're looking for one gap each day. So if there's Monday through Friday, okay, you're trying to find five gaps a week. You might find more than one to get, more than one a day. Okay? I prefer to do one per day say you get two. If everything rates good you could do more than one a day. Sometimes you only find three a week and not earning season. But either way, you're hitting it with the quality, keeping the losses down, keeping the win ratio up. Okay? You're looking for a quality gap. A quality gap is one that rates high enough to trade based on the 26 point rating system. Okay? So for every dollar you're looking for a buck. That's your goal. Every once in a while you will find a trade that will go way more past what you risk. Which is amazing. And it happens and it happens a lot and it typically happens in earning season. But again, it's very interesting to me. Some people trade and they make such little amounts of money for such big amount of risk. Now there are trades where I am taking advance risk that's true but I'm looking for huge moves then. So you have to be realistic but you also have to have a good sense of what makes sense. It does not make sense to risk a thousand dollars to make a hundred bucks. It doesn't make sense to risk a thousand dollars to make 250 bucks. It does make sense to risk a thousand dollars and make a thousand bucks. Okay? That makes sense. Does everyone understand? Any questions? Okay. So getting back to what I was saying. If you want to trade and if you want to be serious about it, you got to have the knowledge. The knowledge is so key and if you have the right knowledge, guess what? You've got the power and the money will come and then the market isn't controlling you. And you know, you're not controlling the market. You can't force these stocks to move. However, that's why you take the trade and use stops. Okay? And we're going to go over that too. Now, let's go over Twitter. So Twitter was an earnings play that happened last week on Friday. Stock closed here. This is in the evening. It closed on Thursday night. Boom. Gapped out in the morning. Fell. So this was Friday. This is Monday. So I called an option trade in Twitter. You could have bought a put or you could have done the day trade. Here was the day trade on Friday. So what happened here? The stock closed around 43 and opened around 37-something on the day, down to 34. So the stock had a $3-plus move on the day on Friday and today it had almost a $3-plus move. So this is momentum. This is what I'm talking about. This is institutional selling. I predicted that Twitter would drop before this bar occurred and this one too. That's how I called the trades. Okay? Which I called a put and an equity trade. Sure. All right? Any questions? So this is what you would look for every day. With me in the room, you would learn the system in the class and then you could trade on your own or you could join the room. That's up to you. Now let's go over Twitter. So Twitter closed your gap down. This was Friday. This is Friday's trade play of the day. Dropped, pushed back, held, boom. Short of it, got the drop. So you could have taken Twitter here and got it out. Or you could have taken Twitter here and held it all done. I prefer to trade in the morning between 9.30 and 10 a.m. eastern time which you can see the move it made. Went to the target, went to the dream target on the day. But honestly, again, I like to be in and out quick. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Whichever you want to do. But that's what you would learn from me. Any questions? Let's look at the trade. Not going to be any questions here but I'm just going to keep going. If you totally don't understand anything I'm saying then I mean you've got to write something. The price of the short in Twitter, 3702, 6000 shares is an advanced size. Exit 3610, nowhere near the low. No one near the low at all. I'm going to go back and show you that in a minute but this is a quick trade. You're in and out in five minutes. Less than five minutes. You could have been 5,580 bucks. And that is more money than some people make in an entire week. Let alone one trade, let alone in five minutes. Does everyone understand? So once you get good, once you know what to do you can take this kind of risk. Now this is on target to make way more than 25 grand a month. I'm using that for the webinar title but you could have taken way less size in this trade here because there was only one trade on one of the days of the week last week. But the point is though that all you need is one good trade a day and keep your losses down put the stops in, get out when you're up and you're good. So I looked a short. I looked a short and I'm looking at short stocks that are familiar that you would know that you would think about that you would know and we're rating the gap to know that Twitter is a short and not a long. So I predict I predict that Twitter is going to drop before it opens which is what I did on the 27th I'm already know. Any questions about about Twitter about day trading about this why a group tonight? Anyways, I wanted to put the stats here for July started out took some time off the beginning of July earnings season started mid second week of July. So August, all of the month of August is busy with earnings season but I just want you to see here how you can make this kind of money. Now we got one more day left in July we'll see what we get if you're interested in a trial of the live trading room you can email me at Melissa at the stocks of your room the rest of this week but these are all the trades from July so you see here on average some days you will do one trade most of the days eBay was a good one we have a big one some days are big some days are small some days are medium Netflix was a losing day that's rare but every once in a while you might have a day where you are losing but that's why you stop you don't go crazy you see how you can have these huge trades like sky like eBay General Motors Twitter don't go crazy and trade all day stick within the time frame stick within the parameters okay that I'm giving you that I'm giving you in the system okay no day trades today in the room on the 30th now I want to go over Facebook Facebook was an option that I called last week on Thursday no it was Wednesday no it was Thursday Facebook was Thursday too Facebook was here okay open rallying open dropped fell Facebook was a huge option trade that I called on Thursday fell and broke today fell off a planet so I predicted Facebook would fall we shorted it here and then it was a put called the put here could have got out today now this could still be lower but this was a huge move today so you can trade gaps using options as well same philosophy same system you're taking I'm rating the gap if you sign up for the option letter then I knew the trade if you're day trading inactively you gotta be in the room but I called two puts here 175 went well through the strike 170 went well through the strike this is out through the end of this week it was a huge huge move almost went to the dream target alright so you know again it's earnings season it's a good time to trade it's a good time to make money but Facebook was an amazing call to see that it would break as a short because a lot of people went long how do I know just going back here this stock was all the way up at 180 over 180 on the day of the gap down and we shorted it and you can see where it's at today okay how did I know that would happen how could I predict it because I'm very good at my system okay I'm good at predicting what's going to get sell off I'm good at predicting what's going to get bought alright anyways if you bought an option trade and paid above your cost would have been $10 contracts $1000 you could have sold today made $415 you could have made $3150 on one trade in Facebook buying the puts okay and you would have made a 315% return on investment this is the same exactly trade but with an advanced risk you would have risk for a grand which sounds like a lot but your profit would have been $12600 in one trade you took the trade on Facebook and Thursday you bought an option trade which sometimes you day trade and sometimes you do overnight huge huge move 315% return investments remember I told you you're looking to get one to one every once in a while you're going to go one that's way more than that that's three to one or more like this and I do think Facebook could be lower but with an expiration date of Friday I think the best thing to do was to get out so so many people bought this stock on Thursday and we shorted it okay so many people can't make $12600 in a month let alone in one trade and it just goes to show you when you can really good at something you can really make bank it's just a lot of people just don't they never focus they never get good they never they lose conviction they lose confidence they can't risk they can't risk for a grand because they simply don't have any confidence at all and why it would work I know why I'm saying this is going to work because of this because I'm seeing what the price is going to do I'm predicting it's going to sell off and I was right and I'm right way more than I'm not okay which is why I'm on TV I have a successful business and I'm doing this for ten years but I'm telling you that without that confidence level you'll never get to the point where you'll make any money at all let alone 25 grand a month how do you get the confidence the knowledge the knowledge following me is great following me is great you have to do the class to join the room but learning it is so much better because then you know it too and then I call it the trades and you do it with me and you get it and it all syncs together and it all gels and then everything just gels together and one thing okay when you train you have to have a plan of action to win you've got to have a plan of action that's strategic you say I'm going to do this it's going to make sense you go for it you take the risk you do it my whole philosophy is I'm looking at a large time frame but then I'm taking the trades in a smaller time frame I'm looking at the daily chart to make the rating that I'm taking it on the one minute for a high level of degree of focus and accuracy because we're putting in the entry we're putting in the stop we're trading on the one I'm taking the risk on that because I know I'm going to get out in a few minutes or sometimes a few seconds but I'm looking at the daily chart to get the directional bias to say Facebook is going to sell off Twitter is going to sell off but then I take the trade on the one okay for the day trades options are different it doesn't matter you can take an option quick or you can do it out for longer if you want okay but the only difference between a beginner trader and intermediate trader and advanced trader size that's the only thing why do some people make a hundred bucks and some people make almost six grand you have to determine what you can afford but any money is good money if you made a hundred dollars a day that's five hundred dollars by Monday that's amazing so start with a small account that's all you can afford and build it up okay you can open up a prop account with approximately twenty five hundred dollars at most good prop broker places you start there you build it up build it up build it from twenty five hundred to five build it from five to ten to get to the point where you can risk more it's the best thing to do okay any questions now gunny bachelor is saying it's a size so two hundred shares something drops above sure you make two hundred dollars two thousand something drops a dollar you make two grand eight thousand drops a dollar you make eight grand okay so it's not impossible it's just that you have to get to the point where you can take the size it's not just the size of your account although that's part of it it's the knowledge it's the information it's the it's the conviction I talk about it it's the conviction so I teach a class my method is a twenty six point rating system it teaches people how to trade the stock of the day it teaches advanced technical analysis you rate the gap you say yes I like it it's good we wait for the setup we take it in the morning gaps are great because you can do them for swing trades you can do it for options you can do it for long-term investing you can do it for date trades and when you can do this for something for long-term investing I mean you can invest your own money you don't have to go to a stock broker most of the trades have amazing follow through look at this market this is a chart of the spy okay this is the etf or the smp or the smp rally all in 2017 how did you get in the right stocks were you in the right things invested in your 401k if not you weren't looking at the right things okay so this is a great example excuse me of why it's so important to know how to make accurate decisions specifically so that you can look out for yourself even in the long-term any questions anyways as I was saying you know most of the people that I teach is a fifty fifty some have traded before some have never traded at all and you know a lot of them are just regular people it's not like I'm teaching all these millionaires or something I mean people are just regular people some are small accounts some are medium accounts some are big accounts and they're learning as they go they're in the rim they're following me you know I gotta be honest with you you know excuse me a lot of people made money on the twitter and then some people made money on facebook some people took the trade and killed it it just takes time to believe in the things that I'm saying but if you listen to me I'm telling you I don't stand you the wrong way I really am extremely good at what I do and it's something that if you've been following me you probably know this and if you haven't taken the class I guess you gotta ask yourself why I would not wait you're missing out on a huge opportunities to make money and a lot of people are trading and losing and I don't feel sorry for those people because they just don't understand what to do and they're not trying to do anything to better the situation financially career wise trading wise your job if you've never traded it is up to you no one's gonna come knock on your door and offer you everything in the world and every opportunity in the world for free the second you have to make it happen for yourself you and only you okay trading can offer your career trading can offer you money it's gonna cost you you have to pay to do my class and you have to open up a trading account but it's certainly it's called motivation it's called motivation and I know it took me motivation 10 years ago it's taken me motivation to do television that took several years to get to this point I'm at now too but I'm a very motivated person I'm ambitious okay you don't have to be as ambitious as me but I'm telling you if you would have made a lot of money in the market then you kinda do okay you wanna hit these numbers you wanna make five grand in one trade you gotta have a little bit of ambition in you and if you do trading is something where it offers you the personal freedom for unlimited potential for growth and success and again the nice thing is you can do options you can do the day trades you can do both so my class is called the golden gap course it will help you find success in the market and I do a little motivation in between and some of my classes I teach the wealth manifestation class which is a very interesting class too and I say to people you know what do you need and I call it the four seeds number one you need clarity you have to have a daily focus and you also need to know what your goal is if your goal is to make $500 a day that's it when you're up you're up you stop you don't keep trading and give it back what else do you need confidence it doesn't matter if every person you've ever known has failed at this it doesn't matter if you know your best friend hates you if you believe in yourself confidence is important I don't care what the odds are I don't care if the odds are against you if you believe in yourself and you have confidence and it's high you can do it you also need conviction in what makes sense what you're doing and what I do has a lot of common sense because I'm going with the institutions that makes sense going with regular traders does not make sense those lose they don't have any money institutions the big banks hedge funds they have money they move the market when they buy and sell stocks so you get the conviction from that understanding the philosophy from it okay and also it takes commitment it means learning it means going over your trains it means admitting when you made a mistake it also means going after it hard and taking the risk and not being afraid and believing believing that it's going to work and that all the energy and time and effort and financial amount of money that you put into it is going to pay off and that's the point where you believe and have the commitment there's no looking back I had a friend and I've told this story before I know I had a friend that said to me and this was like 2008 maybe it was the beginning of 2009 and I was losing I didn't know what I was doing I was still calculating and figuring out all the points and he said Melissa you're losing how much money are you going to lose because I figured out my system and the what the reason my system is so good is because I did it with real cash I did not trade in a demo I did not figure out the 26 points with fake money I did it with real money and that is the reason it's so good and works because when you really do something with real cash you see you feel it you know it and you believe in it and he said well how when are you going to stop I said I'm never going to stop I'm never going to stop until I figure it out and then I did okay so it's the commitment it's not looking back it's not ever ever making excuses or saying you're going to quit you go through and you fall on put the throttle in and you put the gas in the pedal and you go okay you're forging ahead alright it is the middle of the year I mean I went to the store the other day I said this to you in some video last week they're selling pumpkin stuff pumpkin stuff and I mean it's 85 degrees in New York and they are selling Halloween things already I mean it's crazy before you know it it is going to be the holidays I'm telling you before you know it it's going to be the holidays Thanksgiving Halloween Christmas and you're going to say oh my god where did 2018 go it went by like nothing and now you're going to say I didn't do anything I wanted to do this year I didn't make the money I wanted to make I didn't achieve my goals I don't know why I just wasted this whole year I'm telling you don't let the whole year go by more than half the year is gone if you are not on pace for your ghost financially or with your trading get on board do not wait till it's too late stop making excuses for moving forward it's hard to believe it's one year I've been on Fox I can't even believe it a year already it feels like it went by that okay time keeps going so quick so fast and there's nothing you can do to stop it nothing before you know it it's six o'clock tonight before you know it I'll be getting ready for bed getting up to bar in morning it'll be six a.m. I'll be at spin class and then I'll be up up at the market already I mean just you can't stop the time that goes on so take advantage of opportunities when they're being given to you and I've said this before every person that finds me right now because I'm still relatively out there and compared to other people even on TV everyone that finds me now is lucky to find me meant to be because I still have the time to talk to people to email them back individually to give them the personal service and attention that they need and there will come a day when I won't have the time to do that because I'm going to be too big don't miss this opportunity to come and learn from me individually alright you will not regret it so the GoldenGap course is a complete system to use to trade it gives you all the pieces of the puzzle options whether you want to do day trades it's up to you so the class is a two day course on how to strategically find pick and play stocks in our professional bearish gaps the class is online you could be anywhere in the world and take it the class for August which I'm doing this coming weekend so that people can get in for this whole month to make money in August for the earnings season is August 4th and 5th it's 9 to 5 class of the class is 54.99 you'll learn everything I know in the two days it's full on ok and then you could be in the room then for the earnings season which is going to be the whole month of August and it's a big, big time this was one of the students from the class in July and I must tell you that I've heard this before but this is one of the reasons I'm very excited to do TV he said that I teach in an understandable way and that he said it was a great teacher and I do think that I teach things that are advanced in a way that breaks them down that anyone can get them someone that's traded for a while or someone that's brand brand new I have a way to be relatable I have a way to be relatable to people to teach advanced concepts in a way that anyone can understand them and I think that's a gift it's a gift that I have and it's one of the reasons that I'm a good teacher and it's one of the reasons that I've been talking on TV and I hopefully will get a chance to talk more on TV in longer spots more advanced things about teaching things you know a lot of people learn about the market and they don't understand it they find it overwhelming they find it scary trading is not scary it's just that a lot of people talk about things in a way that sounds like it's over their head but it's really not it's just that you need to understand the concepts with really as a lot of it it has to do with the person that's teaching the concepts not the concepts themselves okay hopefully that makes sense anyways if you're interested you can take the class this weekend it's about empower yourself to trade I can give you the knowledge but it is you you and you alone that are taking the trades alright if you'd like a trial this week you're more than willing to have one you can email me I'll send you a trial you can be in the room Apple's out tomorrow night should be a good one I have no idea what we get tomorrow morning though before then but it has been a solid year of 2018 and if you want to trial shoot me an email tonight and info email me if you want to send it to the class of Melissa at thestockswish.com does anyone want to talk about anything whatsoever hope everybody listen to everything I've said so far tonight how are we doing okay here is my email again I recognize some familiar faces here if you want to try out of the room email me you're welcome to come if you want to send out for the class email me if you have questions call me I will take your calls don't call me tomorrow have a good night though I'm on TV call me tonight or tomorrow before 2 o'clock have a good night everyone good scene everybody thank you so much Kathy you're welcome have a great evening


Live from New York City, it's The Cube at Big Data NYC 2014. Brought to you by headline sponsor, Juan Disco, with support from EMC, Mark Logic and TerraData, with hosts, Dave Vellante and Jeff Kelly. Welcome back to New York City, everybody. This is The Cube, we're at Big Data NYC, concurrent with Hadoop World and Strata. Manny Chabras here, he's the CEO of Cloudwick, Cube alone, Manny, great to see you again. Same here, Dave. I mean, see you and I've been sort of the old warriors here, like five years for you guys and five years for us coming to Strata. It's awesome, it was fun seeing you last night. We had a great conversation and our Big Data Capital Markets event and a big party afterwards, so thanks very much for coming and I hope you had a good time. Thanks a lot for inviting us. Yeah, so we heard from Jeff Kelly yesterday that a lot of the dough being made in Big Data is in services. Big time. About 45% of it. And I don't see that changing any time soon, do you? I think Dave, this is the first time in the technology history where the services is leading to technology. Earlier it was hardware and software and the services used to be the third piece which used to come after, but this is the first time in the history of technology where services becomes first and then you follow with hardware and software piece. Yeah, it's kind of was, we went from break fix to implementation and now it's like, what do I do?  You get a call from a customer. Give us a typical scenario. We typically don't come with the customer directly. We are very aligned with the partner channel. We are being brought by Cloudera, Hotlineworks, DataStacks of the world because what they can do very well is that they can take the customer from the use case discovery to the pre-production. And then we come in the play is on the production side of the business because scaling from 40 nodes to 400 nodes is not an easy enterprise and our focus is enterprise fortune 1,000. That is where we think the really, really need is of help on the DevOps side of the engineering side of the business and that has been our focus. So talk a little bit more about the DevOps side. So you've got an affinity with the DevOps folks to talk about the state of DevOps in that Fortune 1,000. This is a very interesting day.  One of the things which has happened in the last 20 or years ever since we moved from relational databases is the outsourcing piece. The outsourcing has totally hollered the enterprise IT. There is no skill set available in the enterprise IT today to manage the databases. And so the DevOps piece which has to basically do all the builds every 24 hour, 24 by seven time is very difficult for the enterprise because not having the skill set. Whereas Web 2.0 companies are basically based upon that model. And the enterprise is very, very having hard challenge identifying how to do those things. And DevOps is very required from these things because if you're a bank, you have to kind of move. You have to basically scan checks. You have to basically provide all the services which come in this digital world. And those are all relying on the latest builds every night. So that is a big, big chasm out there. And so is it a mindset issue? Or is it simply is it also again that just don't have the skill set to be able to do that? Or is it also kind of the change management challenge? It's always difficult to change if you've been doing things a certain way. Specifically, I mean, banking obviously a very mature industry. I think everything, it's the thing in the enterprise this is the one of the biggest disruption. I think the people transformation, the process transformation is entirely new. It's extremely, extremely complex for them because they have been doing a line of relation databases and preset worlds. But now you have to change according to everything.  Now the spark. And then also there is no place to go anywhere. You can learn Spark, you can call somebody. You know, so it is very difficult. Like a Hadoop Spark is where Cloud era, Hot and Works, and then DataSecSparks, Cassandra, and so I mean, the three different entities supporting Spark. So how do you do those? Those kind of challenges in the enterprise have been extremely difficult. You know, earlier there's one call to make to Oracle to solve all the problems, but that's not what's happening. Right. So a lot of dissonance in the world.  And the traditional IT guys go, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, you know, especially in the Fortune 1000, that's not what we do around here. We have to make sure that it's, you know, available, reliable, recoverable.  So there's a dissonance between, there's always been between IT and business. And then within IT, how are you seeing that? And how do you help resolve those? You exactly point, that's one of the biggest things. The line of business guys have intuitive understanding of the markets now, because they see these patterns emerging out of Silicon Valley, where their own core business is basically being taken by these upstarts. And these upstarts are data driven business. They capture data at every transaction of the way.  But the IT is a tough one to crack. So one of the things which basically we come and do is that we have developed this tool where we capture all this base information. And our DevOps folks is called Cloudric Big Loop. And basically is an open platform for sharing the operational intelligence of the system with the vendors, like the Cloudira, Hortonworks, DataStacks, and the customer. And what we try to do at the first level is to establish the baseline, what your clusters are, what configuration, what hardware, what networking, you know, to get all the operational baseline. Once the operation base is established, then you can keep updating the information as being shared. Because in the cluster of the things, networking is a big factor.  You know, if you're in Oracle DBA, you never used to worry about that. You know, now networking, you basically have, okay, even the 10G or 1G and one connection would make a difference. You know, and now you basically have Spark in memory things. You know, entirely different workloads are being done. So how do you do those? I think that's where we start with. And then we, these tools allow the vendors to see what's happening at the operational level. Because they're very good at technical problems solving. I mean, they can do, all the tasks can do that. But operation is as big a challenge on the day-to-day affairs in those enterprises. Abhimeda yesterday in the panel was, we were talking about ROI. Jeff put up some data that said, you know, people want to get a bigger ROI, but for every dollar they're spending, they're only getting 55 cents on their return. Because they don't have the skill sets and they don't have the knowledge. And then Abhimeda made the point, the ROI is not the way, what he's seeing is that the focus on ROI is not the traditional ROI, it's reduction of investment. Is really where they're getting the value today as opposed to sort of many organizations. What are you seeing there? No, you're exactly right. The, what we have been seeing in enterprises, the first thing that is happening is the cost reduction because if you're replacing, not even replacing, but you're not, no net new buying of data and the teaser of the mainframe maps. All that data. Baseline that. The baseline that. And that is moving all to Hadoop. And then you still, I think in the transition stage where you're performing the tarot datas of the world where you're doing the reporting and all the other things which have been doing. So the Hadoop hasn't been involved into that level. But I think with Impala and also the implementation which Hatoop has guys have been doing on the high side of the business and integrating the Tableau and the new visualization, I think you'll see the transition happening fast where they become sort of the EWs in the future. Well, so that, again we talked about this. There's a dollar that used to be spent on EDW and now there's 40 cents spent or maybe 30 cents. 30 cents, yeah. So been over here. So can they make it up in volume? It's like that story that I've been told yesterday. No, I think it's a challenge. I think tarot data has been smart. They basically are getting much deeper into Hadoop's face. And I think the markets are getting bigger. The provision of the data is so huge that I think they will sell licenses more cheaper but much more in numbers. Yeah, no, it's a serious question. I mean in concept they could make it up in volume. If you look at Hortonworks assumption that 50% of the world's data is going to be on Hadoop by whatever date they choose and I know that's sort of a marketing thing but okay, pick a date. It's going to happen. It doesn't happen, yeah. And with data growing like this and budgets not growing, the only way is to get on that curve and be a volume leader, right? No, no, you're right. I think the budgets will grow. Once the companies move beyond the cost savings, I think when the CMO starts seeing the value, I think the marketing budgets will grow. That'll basically affect the traditional, digital marketing and all those things. Those things are in the curve. But it's interesting your point about that and Abhi was very vocal about this yesterday. They're really starting with the dramatic cost savings. I guess it makes sense within the Fortune 1000. That's what they have to do. But if you look at these sort of born in the big data, born in the cloud startups, they're not worried about cost reduction. Everybody are creating massive value, Uber and the likes. And so, how do you discern in your experience, Manny, those Fortune 1000 companies that are going to be able to compete effectively? Because they are there. We know that some percentage of the Fortune 1000 maybe won't cross that chasm, but others will. What's the characteristic of that leader, that big data tech athlete that's going to actually be able to ride that digital fabric and compete with these new upstarts? Whether it's in retail or- I mean, so one example is that you basically saw as GE guys, how fast one can move as GE? I mean, they're offering a service now. So I think the Fortune 1000 enterprise have to do that, because it is an existential threat. We've seen HP dividing in two parts, semantic dividing in two parts. I mean, these things never used to happen. The consolidation used to be the thing. But they are getting nimble because they see the line over there. And I think enterprises basically look forward and kind of embrace this thing and take it on, I will survive. I think the enterprise, which won't, they won't. So appeal that a little bit. What do you see as the, maybe it's skill sets, characteristics. What is the company that can actually transform, look like? What should they be doing? What should they be focused on? What's the advice that you would give to them? I think the best thing what can you do is like, I remember when I came in my career, we used to be, Audically used to hire, IBM used to hire, and they used to give six months training to the support staff and everybody. And then they basically moved them to kind of move into the roles. Now that is not being done presently. I think the enterprises have to train the staff. You know, the staff has to take that to meet the challenge because net new numbers cannot come that high. You know, how many consultants they can hire? I mean, there are not many. So I think the existing staff has to be trained. You know, and I think the vendors had to basically do a much better job in providing online training and basically having training within the enterprises. So the existing staff can take on the challenge because until the existing staff doesn't take the challenge, the transformation doesn't happen, these things are not going to move fast. You know, from the bottoms up. And from the line of the business side is, I think they basically are making an effort into basically moving to those channels. And I think that will happen. So I think the will is there. I mean, that is the one different thing in this year is that there are serious business talks happening now. Which is earlier the hype, you know, for the last three, four years when you come to Strada. Now people are asking, I have this problem. How is it going to solve this problem? You know?  Yeah. And it used to be in the old days of SI, you know, things like SAP implementations are so complex and it was a boon for the systems integrator business. But now what we've seen is things like, you know, the cloud and consolidation of infrastructure, conversion of infrastructure. It's sort of eaten away at that business and SIs really have to move fast.  So this question I'm asking is almost one of those, you know, it could, you know, put your existing business out of business, but what's next? But what are you as an integrator seeing in terms of the industry that the industry needs to do, gaps that they need to fill? Because who to do is complex? It's too complex. Complex. And then, and what does that mean for your business going forward? I think it means we have to be a continuous learning, evolving organization. Because what we saw in the market three years back at Astrolia Hadoop, I mean, till last year at Astrolia Hadoop, but we saw a lot of emergence happening in the new SQL space. So we moved fast and we basically started working in data stacks on Cassandra side. We won the big part, the first partner, one of them, you know, now we basically are the first SI to get certified on Spark. So what we are looking is that, okay, the change is going to happen. It's a constant change. We cannot rest. So what we had to do is basically we had to take all the knowledge which we learned from the industry, kind of like put together in the use case perspective and take these existing technologies that are coming at a much faster pace, have our staff kind of like have continuous learning. And I think the SI, that's a challenge. That you have to adapt. You have to continuously learn if you want to stay in the SI space. I think the SI's themselves are the first ones to go if they don't adapt. Other businesses come after us because we are there to solve the problem. If we cannot solve the problem, we are the first ones to go. What are your thoughts on the capital markets as an SI? We saw, I think, big analytics get acquired by TeraData. You're seeing hundreds of millions of dollars go into the big distro vendors. Service is not sexy, I always say. It's where the rubber meets the road in terms of business value. But from an investor standpoint, it's like there's other things I want to invest in. What's your take on that? I think it's changing. I mean, we talked about the 45% service share in the big data. It's a huge market. We are growing. We basically had 10 million this year. We expected to grow another 125% next year, $25 million. It's a serious business to us. We live through it and we are having fun of our life. So I think it's a serious business. I think it will drive the next generation of their big data technology services. And you see it from the fact that all the vendors are establishing a lot of service component to them. Yeah, I think it's critical for the technology providers to establish these relationships because as you said, if you're not able to move these things into production, that's where the revenue is gonna come for the technology providers. Yes, yes. So they need to make that happen and happen seamlessly as possible. I wonder if you could size up your competition a little bit on the big side. So how do you see the big guys of the world, the Accentures of the war, Deloitte's of the world? They're starting big data practices. You're seeing their marketing start to mention big data and analytics. Are they able to adapt? I mean, as quickly as somebody like Cloudwork who was really focused on this space? Well, I think they basically have a great, they have the domain knowledge and the relationship which exists in the market. But the challenge obviously for any big company is how to move fast into the space. And our focus has been on the not of the sexy part of the business and analytics part. We have always been focused on the data engineering part of the business, which we think is a very scalable model because everybody, before you do analytics, you had to do engineering. And I think in what we have finding in our space, they're not much competition. I mean, the field is so wide that you can keep, it's an execution challenge more than anything else. Well, what's strike mean? They may even be a potential partner for someone like you because they don't have that skill set. And they, but as you mentioned, they've got those relationships. And when you can tie your competency in the integration and really getting the system stood up and in production, and you tie that to the business use case and the business value and talking to the business side. And then I think there's potentially a win-win for both. I mean, I think that that's what we have been seeing. We don't go directly to the market a lot. We basically have partner aligned. We are really close to the light guys. We had an introduction to Cap Gemini guys. So I think things are happening in that area. They see the problem. And I think we have a solution for some part of the problem. I mean, they tend to compete in a couple of dimensions, which I presume you don't. I mean, they have like super deep vertical industry and micro vertical industry expertise around the globe. That's not your game. No, that's not our game.   That is true. And so, so how do you do that? You got connections. You know, we were talking offline about the guys that went disco who were like super alpha geeks.  I mean, is that kind of? Yeah, we got these guys on stack who basically can go and evolve the technology, look at the technology. And we are coming a big part of the ecosystem now as it's grown because now it is not only, because the vendors are focusing on their technology. So if you look big data, it's getting complex. I mean, she talked about the Hadoop is complex. Eight different components. You put no sequel in it. Now you put spark with it. You know, it is becoming a horizontal stack in which there's not one player who saw the solutions. You know, so the stitching has to be done. You know, you have basically visualization aspect there. You have the log management aspect there. I mean, there's so many players in the industry right now which are providing a solution. So I think our value comes is that we can stitch all these things together on an engineering basis, you know, and to provide a complete solution where the vendors have maybe a large part of that but there is an associated ecosystem which has to come together too. Well, so in related to that, so we're seeing, I mean, just a flurry of, you know, partnership announcements between the technology providers. Now I'm certified on Clutter. I'm certified on Hortonworks to work together, whatever. How does that impact your business? Now, if the technology providers are integrating more closely together, what does that do to your value proposition? Or are you seeing, are we seeing a lot of quote-unquote Barney partnerships, you know, kind of just a logo to put up on a press release? I think it is to some extent. I mean, like that, but it is also real, you know. But you see a lot of these things happening. I mean, if you see, we were just talking to the elastic search guys.   So, you know, those kind of things are valuable because they are part of the solution.  So those things are going to be there, you know, Strom, Kafka, SAMZA, now.  But the stitching has to be done. The underpinnings is the same from the engineering perspective, it's a distributed programming paradigm, you know. So once you get that, it becomes rather simple for you. Okay, Manny, we're going to have to leave it there. Thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. It was always a pleasure. It's great to see you again. Thanks a lot for having me, Jeff. It's amazing to watch the way in which this ecosystem is developing. You guys are right at the heart of it. So congratulations on all your success and what we're watching. All right, keep it right there, buddy. We'll be back right after this word. Thank you, guys. Great to see you.


my favorite. Why are you moving so aggressively? I'm not am I? It takes a lot of toiletries to keep the space very fresh. So you saw the title of this video by now and yes I hate to like keep beating a dead horse with this topic but we keep getting beat down like it seems like every single day with what's going on with our move and now we're not moving into our apartment we are putting everything into a storage space and living with family and then an extended stay slash Airbnb. So we are officially moving back home with our family. I've made it this far in my life and I'm now in the 10th position and I'm moving back home with my family. So we thought we were moving a while ago and then we thought we were moving again and again and again but that didn't really work out. We thought that we could just stay in the city for as long as we could extend a couple of days or weeks but it's just you know my glass to take call so we can't be too far away from his job. And if you remember our last video where we talked about moving out and how things kept getting delayed that was supposed to be our last weekend in the city but this is like actually our last video in the city because they're kicking us out of our apartment. They extended the lease for us for free now we're officially done with it and we have nowhere else to go so. I was looking for other places in the area and it just didn't work out. It was too much long story short we're putting our stuff in storage living with family but um yeah I feel like Cara and Nate living out of their uh yeah yeah Cara and Nate. I don't know how they do that. Shout out Cara and Nate. Our favorite at travel vloggers. They live out of van. They live out of and then they just like kind of on no whim decide what to do. Yeah they just like live spontaneously throughout their whole life which is crazy but so yeah this is our last weekend. We packed our personal belongings on a couple of just like kind of clothes and shoes and whatever we need for like two weeks or so. Actually we're supposed to go out east and see one of our friends DJ. Which was like I was so excited for. Yeah. And then. Then we found out last minute no sorry uh we're actually we have to like pack everything and move ASAP so. Disaster. They keep like prolonging this inspection process. They tell us there's an inspection and then we pass it and they're like well there's one more and then there's another one. There's another one so we have to be out of our apartment. We have nowhere to put our stuff so we got a storage unit in New Jersey. We're bringing all of our stuff there tomorrow and then moving to our family's house. Basically gonna stay there the whole week because I have next week off and luckily I get you know good amount of vacation time so I can have next week off but then I'm on my first weekend of IR call this coming weekend so I have to be close by and I have no place to live so we may have to get Airbnb or a hotel or whatever. But you know there are bigger problems in this world. Yeah.  We are very fortunate in that situation. Very fortunate. And on the last video people were like oh this is not a problem. We're not complaining about this. We're just kind of informing everyone of our move and stuff like this is not about like oh we're still we're complaining or anything like that. Everyone. This is just we put our life and people want to know what we're doing so. Yeah this is just like an update. It's like exactly. This is an update. Yeah. This is an update. It's not a sad thing. Yeah. Like we're sad that we're leaving the city and we're sad that we aren't in our new place yet but like our bigger problems in this world that we're well aware of that. We'll eventually move in. This is just like one of those temporary things. I commuted for the last three weeks from the city like an hour and 15-20 minutes one way sometimes two hours plus the way back. It's almost like Michael loves commuting. It's almost like they're like trying to test me every day be like the world's advanced me this week but you know it is what it is. We'll figure it out. I just want to make sure I'm close to the hospital when I start call because I can't be an hour and a half away if there's an emergency because that's like not cool. So the good news is is I'm off next week because I thought I'd be moving but I guess it's good because you know at a tough three or four weeks at work now I get to do my thing watching the stock markets in the morning obviously filming more videos and I'll probably bank a whole bunch because who knows what kind of stressful situation I'll be in the next couple weeks but are you gonna film your first weekend on call? Yes the people have spoken and they want to see the on-call videos but it's not gonna be as exciting as I was in fellowship because I'll get called in like one percent as much as I did in fellowship but nonetheless we'll uh we'll see what we can do. So we're gonna go to one of our favorite restaurants we're gonna try a new cocktail bar the typical Michael and Andriana weekend that we weekend in the city and that we'll miss so much. Yeah that's our typical we always find new restaurant or a new cocktail bar and try it out because that's what we love about the city. Shout out supper shout out Frank Prisantzano the best Italian restaurant in New York City. Do you agree? Yes totally agree. So we're gonna head out now I've gone a little date night and uh we'll we'll see how the move goes tomorrow. We'll keep you posted. So fast forward for a little date night action right now and tomorrow we'll continue the move. All right so we are starting with trip number one here. This is what we're doing all this stuff. This is all going to stay with us forward with the rest and storage tomorrow and for better we forget this. More on that later. It's moving day. I'm cleaning. Gonna miss this view though. One last time. Check out the view. All right good morning everybody so we are making our first trip over to our family's house. We're just gonna keep all of our odds and ends and all the important stuff that we don't want the movers to move and all that stuff. We're gonna keep it with us. We're gonna drop that stuff off now finish packing later and start this whole move with the moving company tomorrow and get this stuff in storage until we have to move it in hopefully one week later. Sweet. Coffee. Yes. Coffee for the prince. At your service. Thank you. Staying excited. So we just started packing well our movers started packing and they are currently packing up our stuff. Moving all of our stuff in the truck bringing it to New Jersey storage but we're kind of just getting in the way so we are up on the rooftop while they do their thing and the funny thing is all the movers speak the same language as Andriana so they felt kind of embarrassed because she understood everything they were saying so we just kind of came up here let them do their thing we'll just hang out up here and also because it is literally 65 degrees this beautiful morning posted up here at breakfast I wait for them to finish and take a trip down to old New Jersey. Why do you get sunglasses and I don't? Hey we just got sunglasses. This I am going to miss tremendously and just like that the apartment is nice and echoey and empty it's like we never even lived here completely empty not compare that to our apartment tour video from the other day. How are you liking the storage unit? I'm a little concerned that this will not fit all of the longings. Should I lock you in here? All right so we had quite the productive day today if I do say so myself finished up packing out of our entire New York City apartment moved it all the way to New Jersey put it in storage now we're here at the family's house and we're gonna be staying here for TBD. TBD until our apartment is officially ready so we're going to end the vlog here wish us luck going forward hopefully and we'll keep you posted follow us along on instagram yeah welcome to the probably uh it'll probably be updated there before oh yeah so follow us on instagram we'll do the updates if you care so anyways smash that subscribe button follow us on tiktok and instagram follow androna's channel her new youtube channel and uh we'll see you on the next one bye bye


The European steel industry is facing new challenges due to the market situation and climate policy. Experiences from the pandemic restrictions and Russia's armed invasion of Ukraine have provided a basis for including steel among raw materials such as coke, iron ore, and electricity in economic security products. Steel is also essential for economic infrastructure and construction development, as well as a material for other industries without which factories would not produce cars, machinery, ships, washing machines, and so forth. In 2022, steel makers faced a deepening energy crisis and economic slowdown. This prompted them to impose restrictions on production volumes worldwide, resulting in a 4% decrease in production compared to the previous year. Despite the difficult economic situation of the steel industry, the EU is strengthening its industrial decarbonization policy.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali is stock number 13425Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used SUV headquarters. This 2020 GMC Yukon XL has the 6.2 liter V8 gas engine. This Yukon has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop for the state of Wisconsin inspection process. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and it is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around inside, start it up, take a look under the hood, and give you the most accurate representation of the vehicle that I can. Summit White is the color, and I shoot all my videos in 4K. So if you have HD capabilities, turn them on now, because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and of course, cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. Down this side of the vehicle, rear quarter looks really good. I didn't see any major dents or dings. Driver's side doors look really good as well, as does the front fender. If you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Click the bell notifications, and you'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day. You might just find your next vehicle there, if this is not the one. This one does come with 22-inch chrome alloy rims, and it has Bridgestone Duler HL tires. These are P285, 45R22s, and they have right around half the tread left on them. I didn't see any scuffs or scrapes on that rim. Coming around to the front, front bumper is in great shape. Does have the front bumper parking sensors. No major dents, dings, or cracks on there. I will say that it does come with a 3M tape on there. I don't know if you can see that, but it's a 3M tape. Now there is a little bit of a scuff on the tape, but the fender and the bumper looks to be just fine. The hood also has that wrap on it, up to here. I don't know if you can see that either, but it's not a scratch, it's just the 3M tape. It actually can come off pretty easily, I think. The grille is in excellent shape as well, and I didn't see any dents or dings on the hood. Passengers side front fender looks really good as well. And the passengers side rim, I didn't see any major scuffs or scrapes on that rim. Looks really, really good. Now as you go down this side of this 2020 GMC Yukon XL, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos, so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful and that Brett sent you.  The frame and underbody looks pretty good. This is a one owner out of Nebraska, or I'm sorry, North Dakota, my bad, out of North Dakota. Looks really good under there. It comes with the factory step bars, or running boards, I should say, LED tail lamps coming around to the back. Rear bumper is in nice shape. You get the full towing package, which gives you the receiver hitch and the seven pin wiring. We do have the cover for that. Rear gate is in nice shape. It is a power lift gate that works nicely. Back storage area, here's the cover for that receiver hitch. That's in really nice shape. You get a little bit of storage underneath here. Then those third row seats do powerful down. I wish the headrests were down so I could show you that, but it's hard to do with one hand. There we go. So I'll put that seat down. I always amazed at how fast they go, and then how fast they go up, and you can see just how nice and flat that those do go. I'll show you the passenger or the driver's side. It won't go down all the way because that headrest is up, but that works nicely and is just as fast. To get this gate up, or gate down, you press that button. It does have the flipper glass with that button right there. That flips up like so, and you can see, that's nice if you got a trailer on and you can't open up the gate. You can still get to your stuff in the back, and you can see that those rear defrost cables are still attached. Shuts nice and solidly. It does have the capless fuel fill, which is a nice feature. Never get gas on your hands. Back rim is in excellent shape as well, no scuffs or scrapes. The rear end down the rest of this side, once again, looks really good. You do get the blind spot monitoring, built in directional signals, heated mirrors, I'm pretty sure those mirrors power fold in. Inside you get the, I think they call it khaki interior, it's kind of like a gray tan. Really nice shape, no rips or tears, smells very clean inside this vehicle. You get the factory all-weather floor mats, the power telescopic and tilt steering wheel. Memory brake controller, power pedals, lane departure warning, stability control. It does have the heads up display, turn dial four wheel drive and auto headlamps. Power windows locks the mirrors, like I said these mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly. Does have memory driver seat and Bose sound. Get the nice wood grain trim on the doors. Second row seats, you get the quad seating back here, no rips or tears on the seats.  This one does have the dual Blu-ray DVD players. These seats fold down and up like so. And the third row seats are in fantastic condition as well. These second row seats are heated. You get rear air controls, HDMI, two USBs and an aux jack, 110 volt, 150 watt plug-in and then a 12 volt power point right there as well. Bottoms of the doors all look really good on this vehicle. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this Yukon XL has to offer on the interior. Get the nice digital instrument cluster there and I think it's going to make me start it. See the miles, that's fine. We'll start it up, starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. It does have 29,665 miles on it. You do get the digital speedometer on there. Has the heated leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right, cruise controls, adaptive cruise controls and heated steering wheel controls on the left.  You get the GMC Intellilink system. This one of course has the factory navigation system on it. There's Highway 41 so that is working nicely. You get AM, FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities. This is also where your backup camera shows up. You can see that that is working nicely as well.  You also have a little storage area behind the radio with a USB plug-in, which is pretty neat. And you get your heated and cooled seat buttons right there as well. Your keyless entry with remote start, power lift gate, passenger side format and seat are in fantastic condition as well. You also get the Denali stitched into the headrest. That headliner is in great shape and you do get the power sunroof in front. Rear headlights, home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems, sunroof and rear gate controls and on-star and SOS buttons in the rear view mirror. Alright also one last thing, wireless cell phone charge pad right there. We'll take a look under the hood. I don't know if you can see it but that heads up display in the windshield right there is working nicely as well. There is the VIN sticker, or I'm sorry your tire loading information sticker and then the VIN sticker is right there. Alright, really a nice ride. This one also has the 10 speed automatic transmission. You get the HID headlamps, the LED running lights on this one. And I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality condition options and of course cleanliness of the vehicle inside and out under the hood. Get the 6.2 liter V8 gas engine, engine bay is very clean, runs very smooth once again. This Yukon XL has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and it is 100% ready to go. There is your emissions sticker and I would highly recommend this Yukon XL from a quality and condition standpoint. I think whoever gets it is going to be very happy with the quality and condition.

ke this. So we're just curious if we asked the school board association, if they had started compiling a list of expected budget impacts, whether positive or negative, then it was thought that they'd be able to have such a collecting such. Sure. So for the record, Julia, director, joint fiscal office. Unfortunately, I can't say yes, we have that list yet. And I can provide some context as to why not and what that will look like. So school budgets are in the process, as you know, of building and developing our budgets. They're warning those budgets over the next couple of weeks. As that data starts to come in, that data is being sent to the agency of education, and the agency of education starts to compile that list, which they in turn will share with us, the JFO. So AOE would be the point of contact to be able to share with the committee what budgets they've seen thus far and what they look like. We do have the preliminary projections that were used in the December 1 modeling, and of course that sale because it was December 1 projections. With respect to changes in, I believe you were talking earlier about Act 127. So if the question also came up, well, what about change in weights and taxing capacity? AOE is either in the process, or has just recently finalized the long-term weighted counts by school districts. And so once that is finalized, then you could look at school districts to see how how tax capacity has shifted, but that too is not finalized. So do you think AOE might get those numbers? With respect to the long-term weighted ABM or the budget? The budget. That will be ongoing, so they probably- So they have some now? Probably. As a sort of a sense of timing, the Yieldsville usually starts with the house and houseways and means. So usually starting towards the end of January, I'm going in in concert with I counter part at AOE, and they're talking about Nicole Lee. So she has stepped into Brad James's role. Nicole Lee, she's excellent. And we'll go in and she'll talk about here's what we're seeing in terms of budget data, and then I can help visit what that looks like in the statewide end. We can ask. Yeah, we don't need a perfect product. No, just a sense of where things are. Sure. I think any other questions for Ms. Richter? Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Any other business questions, comments? I think we just- Can I respond to the last few folks about the Holocaust? There was actually a lot of comments. Well, how long? Oh, yeah. Briefly? Just very briefly. Thank you. Yes, thank you very much. Pied a fisherman from a Holocaust memorial. I hope she didn't know. Just what the last few folks were saying, and I- Sorry, I don't have everybody's names, but that- How is it the Act 1 meeting this morning for the House? And there's nothing about Holocaust in there. They're coming in just soon next week to talk to us about some of this, the Act 1. But if we're relying on that, I think we're just- It's not fair. Right. Equity is not the same as teaching history, talking about current classrooms, behavior, and then people being comfortable versus the history. Those are very different things. And you brought up the idea of- We do teach alcohol and drugs in schools. You know, that's specifically mandated, why can't Holocaust be put in just under the whole social studies space, very short sentences. We can include it. It's that before we need to teach about bigotry and all the isms and racism. We need it. The students need to learn about hate. They need to learn about preserving democracy. It's as important, if not more important than learning about- Yeah, just to briefly present. So the NEA saying that it exists in the social studies and language arts standards include Holocaust studies. Then I want to see it. I've not even found it. Okay. All right. That's helpful. If they keep saying it's there, but we just can't mind it. Yeah, please go ahead. You know, especially the technical assistance pieces in the bill. That may no sense to me. I don't know what they're talking about, because technically assisting and then we've got- There's so many places to get curriculum from. I don't know what they're- I don't know what they're asking. They're asking who wrote who. Center lines. Okay. We can- They're asking for someone to be able to count how many schools you're doing it. I don't think they're asking for that part of writing the bill. My impression, but I think you're raising a good point. Maybe this isn't technical. Maybe it's another kind of assistance that they're really looking for. Curriculum, guidance, that sort of thing. Because that's out there. The USHF-Evan and Echoes and Reflections. There's free materials everywhere, easy. Right, but this- To your point, this would- My sense is this is what we would call the belly button you would push for that particular topic. So that's instead of having a wide variety of options, that this is a Vermont State Agency of Education. This is the point person who coordinates- Right. I get that. I just was hoping to have a little bit of a background of where that came from. What more specifically they were thinking they wanted. And would that be like a one SDE position or- Sort of. Okay. All right. Great. Well, thank you. Okay, sorry. Thank you. No, thank you. I think there is- We should try to figure out this NEA testimony. Yeah, it do quite make sense to me. What I'll ask Mr. Fanon to do and I'll- Is to point us and you to that standard. And we'll see if we're- Let's- Yeah, because you haven't found it. And he's also saying we're teaching it. Right. And so if we want to codify it, big deal. They don't have to change their behavior. They're already doing it, but we- It's safe for the future when people- People side not just for sure. So if they're already teaching it, it shouldn't be bad. We just right now say and you won't teach it. No, thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thanks for sticking around. Thank you. You got a busy afternoon. Yeah, it's been a long day. Thank you. It's been a long day. Thanks.


This video will show you how to set up and configure your projects and workspaces with an eCognition. Setting up a workspace and project is the first step in eCognition, in which you configure your folder structure and import your data. When you start eCognition, you're given the option of starting it in either Quickmap mode or Ruleset mode. Ruleset mode is the more advanced mode of operation, and that's what we'll be using in this example. To begin working in eCognition, you have to create a project. A project is very similar to an ArcMap document in that it doesn't contain any data, it simply references a location to that data stored either on your hard drive or somewhere on a network location. Although projects can exist on their own, storing them within a workspace gives you additional controls. For example, you can use customized import routines to automatically load large amounts of data, you can have multiple projects that are related to each other stored within a single workspace, and you can save and preserve subsets of your projects. This is particularly useful as it allows you to test your algorithms on smaller amounts of data. Before we jump into the process of creating workspaces and projects, let's take a quick look at the type of data we're going to be using in this demo. The first is four-band imagery from the National Agriculture imagery program. The second is a normalized digital surface model or height above ground model developed from LIDAR data. The third is a LIDAR intensity data set reflecting the strength of the signal return to the LIDAR sensor. All three of these data sets are all raster data sets. Our last data set is a vector polygon data set representing hydrography features. Now we're going to create an eCognition project that incorporates all of these data sets, both raster and vector. Prior to working with your data in eCognition, it's very important that you ensure that all of your data sets are in the same coordinate system and that they overlaid correctly. You also want to make sure that you have a very thorough understanding of the properties of your data sets, such as the pain combinations and wavelengths, and the cell size. When you create your project with an eCognition, it will essentially rasterize your data, and thus everything will be resampled down to the data set with the smallest cell size. There are four different view settings or layout modes with an eCognition. Each one of these view settings corresponds to a particular set of tasks. When you're creating your workspace and project, make sure you're in view setting number one for loaded managed data. We'll start by creating a new workspace by clicking on the Create New Workspace icon. This workspace will contain all of our projects. We'll give our workspace a name, confirm it's in the appropriate folder, and click OK to create the workspace. Once we've created the workspace, you'll see it appear on the left side of the screen underneath the workspace section. Moving over to Windows Explorer, we see that there's a new folder created with the name of our workspace, in this case, Workspace Demo. Within that workspace folder is a .dpj file. This is the workspace file. So once again, when you create a workspace, it creates a folder and a .dpj file. Back in eCognition, we'll now create our project by clicking on the Create New Project icon. This project will be automatically created within our workspace. We'll navigate to the directory containing our data, and we'll begin by loading our data. I'm going to start by loading in the image data set, called nape.img. Now I've paid attention to the metadata, so I'm going to specify the layer alias names for each one of my layers. Band 1 corresponds to the red wavelengths, Band 2 to the green wavelengths, Band 3 to the blue wavelengths, and finally Band 4 to the near and far red wavelengths. Now I'm going to repeat this process for the LIDAR normalized digital surface model and intensity data sets. Don't be confused by the fact that it says import image layers. This is simply the term eCognition uses for continuous raster data. Once again, I'm giving these layers meaningful aliases. Aliases not only make it easier for me to work with these raster data sets with an eCognition, they also allow me to take my rule set and apply it to other data sets, providing the alias names are the same. So this gives me a tremendous amount of flexibility in terms of developing and sharing rule sets. Finally, I'm going to load in my hydrology polygon data. This is a shapefile data, so instead of loading it as an image layer, we load it as a thematic layer. Nevertheless, we're still going to give it a layer alias. So once again, if we have a separate project that uses a hydrology data set similar to this one, our rule set will work thanks to the alias name. Finally, we're going to give our project a meaningful name. I'm just going to call it Project Demo in this case, and then we'll click OK to create the project. Now that I've created my project, I'll want to save it. I can simply go over to my taskbar and click on the Save Project icon. Moving over to our Workspace folder within Windows Explorer, we see we have a new DPR folder. This DPR folder contains all of the projects within our workspace. Every time we save a project, it's stored with its version number. Now that we've created our project, let's explore how eCognition handles these data sets. First, under the Process menu, we're going to go down to Edit Aliases, Image Layer Aliases. This gives us a list of all of the data sets we specified as image layers, so those continuous rasters, both the lidar intensity, the lidar surface model, and the four bands corresponding to our image data sets. We see that we have the alias names along with a particular layer they correspond to. We can then do the same for our thematic aliases. This will show the alias that we identified for our vector data set, the hydrology polygons. Any of the layers that we specified as image layers can be viewed using the Image Layer Mixing Dialog. Clicking on the Edit Image Layer Mixing Dialog opens up the Image Layer Mixing Dialog window. We can change the layer mixing down below. For this example, we'll move to a one-layer gray, and then we'll cycle through all of our layers to make sure that they're being displayed correctly with any eCognition. To confirm that our thematic data is loaded correctly, we can go to our View Settings, and in the View Settings dialog, change the layer from Image Data to our thematic hydrology layer. By right-clicking on your project and choosing Modify, you can go in and change the name of your project, add or remove layers, or simply view your project setup. If your project is large, it may be advantageous to establish a subset of that project when developing your rule set. Subsets are smaller versions of your project that contain subsets of the data. As a result, a lot of your algorithms, particularly time-consuming ones, such as segmentation algorithms, will run significantly faster. To establish your subset, simply click on the Subset tool, draw a rectangle around the area you'd like to subset, then right-click and choose Save Subset to Workspace. This will save the subset as a new project within your workspace. It will retain all the data and layers of the original project, only for the smaller subset section that you selected. You can establish multiple subsets from a single project. For example, the first subset I established would be good for testing a building algorithm, but the second subset would be great for testing out a water extraction algorithm. Once you've created your subsets, you can simply double-click on them to view them, and then click on the Save Project icon to make sure that they're saved in the workspace. Moving over to Windows Explorer, we see that our subsets are saved as new project files within the DPR folder located within our Workspace demo folder. In this video, we showed you how to create workspaces and projects with any cognition. Once again, it's very important to stress the fact that these workspaces and projects don't actually store any of the source data. So if you share your project in workspace with someone, you're not sharing the imagery and other thematic datasets that make up that project.
