We'll check those out a little bit. You guys have an article to that. I Didn't catch that news What's up? I bleep blue. Thanks for subbing Appreciate ya welcome to the channel Heavies you finally open a tasty work account. Yes. Thank you. Good job. Good job Oh, I'm not sure who type the federal policy thing I think that's Tommy or some somebody's on the extra account. I'm not sure who it is The federal reserve maintain this target fit fund rate range between zero and point two five percent will be accelerating as monthly asset tapering in Light of inflation development and the further improvement in the labor market The committee decided to reduce the monthly pace of his net asset purchase by 20 billion in Treasury securities and 10 billion for the agency back mortgage securities The Fed says vaccination progress will continue to reduce impact of COVID-19 pandemics But economic risk remains for now power will be like Merry Christmas Bose For real yo for real. Thank you. Thank you Qe coming to an end. Yes, it looks like it What's up, Rp. Niko? So the statement comes after the US added 210,000 jobs in November Significantly short of the 573,000 jobs a comp economists were expecting wage growth was up 4.8 percent in the month and unemployment rate fell to 4.2 percent Keep in mind though unemployment rate is actually a scam because they actually take people off the actual unemployment rate so Unemployment rate really only accounts for new people getting unemployment. It doesn't account for people that have been on the employment Yeah, I WDM has been waiting for a run I mean if the whole market is bullish then I WDM would ideally be bullish too, right? You would think small caps are doing great. It looks like your man looks like they're kicking the can down a little bit more That's true. The dot plot will make a difference What's up, Ian? What's going on? Let me finish reading this Economic projections the Fed has said is taking a new average inflation targeting approach that may involve keeping interest rate near 0% for a while even though inflation levels have exceeded is 2% inflation target throughout the year The consumer price index was up 6.8% in the November the highest inflation reading since 1982 on Wednesday the Federal Reserve released new dot plot Economic forecast the Fed is now projecting three interest rate hikes in 2023 five members now see interest rate topping 2.75% in 2024 That's very fast. I'm not even sure if that's gonna be possible. Whoops Federal Reserve members are projecting 2022 unemployment rate of 3.5% Down from 3.8% in September the committee's 2022 GDP growth projection increased from 3.8 to 4% the effects 2023 GDP growth rate dropped from 2.5 to 2.2 Now they're projecting 2022 inflation of 2.6% up from previous estimate of 2.2 I remember when they were saying it we want inflation to be a 2% inflation is transitory last year And I was here saying BS man BS inflation is like 10% And now they're finally admitting that inflation is higher than 2% But we know the real deal inflation is like 50% right now It's like these old guys don't know how to read sometimes. Yo Just smack them around Nah, you know inflation is 50% when it comes to food and stuff If you haven't seen 50% inflation on your food yet, you will you will man It's only a matter of time all the restaurants are gonna catch up I mean as long as you're like shopping at McDonald's, you probably won't see that 50% inflation But I'm pretty confident they they're ready. They really increase some inflation in the nuggets still because I Notice this year specifically the the McDonald's nuggets And I mean, I don't eat it a lot I eat it probably like 10 times a year or five times a year, but I know for sure they increase those Madonna nuggets like I mean they they they decrease the size like it used to be bigger And it used to like it used to be used to be more now. They're like smaller man They apply that what was that?  Okay, remember that word right now shrinkflation Yes shrinkflation shrinkation So look at all these shrinkflation man. They're just applying more and more shrinkflation look shrinkflation 60 gram 55 gram shrinkflation Bam bam Back in the day used to get one of these chocolate bars used to be fat It used to be fatty now it's like It's like three-fourth of its size before after shrinkflation Hair salon hair salon increased by 50 percent They did they did Totally, I noticed that impacts of bacon too. Oh my god bacon also how dear them $1.99 pound chicken breasts at Costco is now $2.99.  No way, bro. No way Like our economy is going to take forever to recover. No way. We're going to see we cover in two years like for them to go above 2% in two years I don't see that happening like I just don't see it man I mean, I may not be as old as them Or as wise as they think they are but I just don't see it We'll find out in two years Hey, what's up?  I figured out Robin Hood does not support butterfly options Robin Hood does kind of support butterfly options, but they're a little bit complicated I mentioned it before how how I'm not a really big big fan of butterflies And Because they're so complicated that it's you're opening too many legs and you need to close all those legs But if you really want to trade them, um, you can trade them on tasty works. That's where I used to trade Robin Hood I mean that's where I used to trade butterflies Um, and a lot of advanced strategies and the thing I like about Tasty works if you open more than 10 10 legs they um They don't charge you commission after that. They have a pretty set limited commission structure If you need the link here you go. That's a tasty work referral link Yeah So Tommy found the video Of why butterflies are risky He knows real when even ethnic food is in the game is in on the game Used to get fried shrimp with 21 piece Then 18 and now 15. Oh It's over man forget about it Inflation it is like catching us by the boss man Can't get away Did you guys make a lot of money from that big like That big gap up today to the 470s where where the market just went It just yeeted so hard man I was kind of surprising honestly But wasn't I really surprised? Yeah I was a little surprised that we had such a strong move, but I've seen so many FOMC meetings that I knew eventually we're going to have move one direction to another That's just the way of the FOMC meetings. They're always like that They're always extremely extremely volatile So I mean if you look at this five-day setup though You could clearly see a double bottom here I don't know if you guys can see it this Oh, Yamele came back It's got to come back because amazon came back, right? Oh, you got that $1,200 move sexy man. Holy smokes my man Very nice That's a good area to sell too, man. I hope you took some profit here But I think that was your entry too, right? Your entry is right there Yeah, Robin Hood's entry For a bit and ass is very very wide But that's also another big issue with butterflies too because you're asking to buy three legs So naturally the bit and ass is going to be pretty pretty tricky depending on the stock that you're trading Um, depending on the contract that you're trading Like I have some stuff on on like tesla And it's always very very tricky to get fill So for today, we call some pretty interesting move on tsm But I think the same move happened on amd as well. So it was like either way You're about to make money whichever one you play um So very nice double bottom move there tsm coming back to that age Oh $116 level I had to take a shot. I had to take a shot today, man um I don't think we have an moc balanced today The moc imbalance today was probably flat that we didn't see it today So I think it's probably break even somewhere um, but I don't know if you guys are on the challenge thread, but we we play the tsm So the reason I played it was because Looking at the intraday chart at the half day chart over here where we held that very nice support at the 115 116 level, right? So that purple point of control bar here. That's a good The that's a good, um the manzone. So we came there Uh, we we saw some demand it started to move a little bit today and then And then at the end of the day we had that nice big move, right? So the reason we had the nice big move was because you know, obviously the whole market went up But the other thing is I the reason I came into this play was just strictly because of the fact that That I mean look at it We had hit that area so many times that that 116 area is such a strong area Of like uh support and resistance. I couldn't resist. I I sat there. I looked at it I was like, I know I'm taking this play You know But I just wasn't sure if I should alert it to our earnings challenge thread Um, you know, because I I I only want to give like the best place to the thread So I was like I was like man. This is a good 50 50 chance It's gonna bounce here just because it's good support It could easily bounce 120 and just held that area for a little bit if it does bounce Um, but if market is extremely bullish, it could just burst right through that 120 areas too So I was like, man, I'm not sure if I should I should alert this or not Because I feel like it's a 50 50 that I looked at it some more I was like, nah, this is like an 80 20. This is like an 80 20, man Because just look at look at all these these the time that it's you know, that that area has been tested, right So, you know, this is 80 20. This is the 80 percent chance It's gonna bounce and 20 percent chance it just dies So, you know what? Let's alert it. Let's get it in. So hopefully everybody had a chance to get into that entry Tomorrow if we're at 120, that's a good area to exit because we didn't aim that far. So So if it goes like above 121 122, we're in trouble Which could possibly happen too if the market doesn't mean bullish Let's check out some of the earnings from today You have bad luck with tsm Why? I got a feeling you're not playing spreads, man I got a feeling you're not really playing spreads And and like you're not doing calendars and stuff Because tsm love to burn premium. All right, let's check out some of the earnings from this morning So this morning we had abm. They reported earnings. How did they do? They flopped $45 to 40s. Damn should have played that Oh, well, let's miss that one Earnings for shares 85 cents as opposed to 80 cents sales is 1.7 billion as opposed to 1.64 23% increase compared to the same period last year Company reported quarterly sales of 1.7 billion As opposed to estimate 1.6. This is a 14 percent increase compared to the same period last year So really good data us Trading close last year's price last year was trading around this $40 range 36 to $40 range very close last year's price Next year's guidance is a little bit unsure They said they're looking between 3.3 to 3.55 as opposed to 3.47 That's probably where the weakness is from But yeah, yeah, yeah, it could be essentially by the dip So abm announces elevated strategy for value creation and growth rate at its 2021 investor day Ames unlock long-term value through strategic focus on clients and team member experience They're forming a new industry group M&D manufacturing distribution group to replace The technology manufacturing group Very interesting Let me see if they talk to anything about stock buybacks Quarterly dividend as well No share buybacks Let me catch up on chat AR NTER You can check that out ABM by the dip. Yes Looks like we're going for that all-time high on spy possibly What's up cookie monster? I do 30 on do on 30% my trades I feel you That's the way Roblox also slide pretty hard today. So that could be interesting almost gap filled too I was looking for that gap filled today, man Imagine if if roblox gap filled that would have been such a good long And I don't even trade gap feel a lot but that one time I was looking for it and we didn't get it IR NT Q3 sales 6.91 million down from 7 million year-over-year We poured it This is a 1.29 to 4th percent decrease compared to last year Not doing so well not doing so well HEI It's a defense contractor Earnings per share is 62 cents as opposed to 58 cents Sales is 509 mil as opposed to 505 This is a 37 percent increase compared to the same period last year and 19 percent increase And sales compared to last year's So no movement after hours Looks like it did pretty good Pretty good pretty good data How is it trading a year ago? A year ago the company is trading somewhere between 134 to like 128 So it's up a little bit from that. I will say it's definitely up more than 20 percent from that Should easily put it around 150s Damn waiting for this Waiting for a lend To come out with the earnings I want to see what happens So we saw a lot of sweep on the call sign a lot of sweep on the put side as well So this is something we're playing in the earnings challenge Thread if you guys aren't familiar with that Check that out in earnings challenge It's there as well. Let's see. What else do we play today? I felt like the market was pretty easy today, man Put a little bit of um, Dave and Buster puts from yesterday That played out pretty well came back down to this range Exit at the first position Looks like we might struggle back up to the range again at 37 dollars here So maybe we'll get another short from there Hard to say But that was something we played on the bearish side and that played out pretty good Merit international also This was one of my favorite hotels that I used to go to when I travel and And I showed them I showed them because I liked them So I had this triangle pattern. It was reject rejecting a lot of the uptrend to do to do here Um, and then we finally got that breakdown Over here. So hit one of the second price target today as well But starting to curl starting to look bullish again. So market is bullish That's probably when you want to get out all these short positions and go long What stocks are you guys looking at today?  Oh, we might see some good shorts and Pepsi Etsy was surprising honestly Um, you know, I actually entered that tray, um thing yesterday, right? Or the day before And I was actually down on that tray. I was actually down on that tray Because you know, we took the 235 Uh on that Etsy tray. We need that We need that 235 dollars closed by friday So if Etsy closed at 235 by friday, we're making mad money You know, um, if it didn't we were gonna take a fat L, you know No buzzer. I don't know.  Don't do that When uh, especially when the market is choppy you don't want to take any naked position Is very very bad, especially this week So, you know, like we talked about I always talk about market outlook So this Monday I talked about the market outlooks, right?  So that's why I I you know We always play those those advanced options in this challenge account. So this way, hopefully you you know how to build your own So pretty much if you thought that eti was going to hit 230s You would play the 230 calendar, but you have to know where it's going to hit By friday. So, you know, if we think it's going to reverse from here You want to anticipate for for a possible move by friday? So for me I thought the possible move was 235 So it's actually actually coming back alive to to almost reward me on that play So again a little lucky there very bless Mandela Lens selling down in pre-market. Let's see. Oh, I'm going to check out some of the chart for you guys We'll check out roblox. We'll check out PLTR and NE I got you guys Oh, but nasty Nate be careful with utilities Utility does good when the market is um bearish or choppy, but does bad when the market is um Hold on. Let me look at this When the market is bullish So lennard earnings per share three dollars and 91 cents Misestimate of four 15 Sales is 8.4 billion as opposed to 8.2 billion This is a 38.65 percent increase compared to earnings of the same period last year and This is a 23 increase in sales compared to last year. So they had great data great sales beat Increased compared to last year But they missed earnings by a little bit. Oh, yes So Yeah, it's definitely a risk on risk off tray um Yeah, sounding like bloomberg man. You're watching too much bloomberg nasty Nate Uh, so this is kind of good. Hopefully it can stay in this hundred and ten dollar range or even come back down to 107 tomorrow that would be beautiful. I don't know. I don't want to jinx it, man We'd love to see it stay in this range or come down a little bit because we do have the 107 put for for this company um So 107 put They they got choked today premium choked them a lot today. So we didn't see that much of a move Uh, but if it stays within our range tomorrow If it stays within this uh tight range You know the position was at 27 cents entry Some of you might have gone out at 0.50 today But if you haven't tomorrow should have another shot to get out between 0.5 To to 0.8 So hopefully it stays in this range so I can get out at 0.8 tomorrow Uh, maybe even 1.2 on friday. That would be a nice banger So we'll see man. We're not sure yet Let's not celebrate too early because you know pre-market is different Let's check out that earnings report though But it's nice. It's nice to get it right once in a while though It's nice to get it right So another report it's four quarter and fiscal 2021 results That earning per diluted share increased 39 Increased 55 excluding mark to market losses on strategic technology investments Ooh Looks like they took some L's That earnings increased 35% If they didn't take these L's they would increase more, but apparently they took some L somewhere Revenue increased 24% delivers increased deliveries increased 11% New orders are still coming in Increased 2% New order dollar value increased 16% So they're only getting 2% new orders, but they're marking up so much that the dollar value is increasing 16% Backlog continued to increase to 26% to 23,771 homes Backlog dollar value increased a lot 45% Home building operations of earnings of 1.8 billion compared to operating earnings of 1.1 billion Years of supply on home site decreased to 3.3 years Control home site increased to 59% Home building cash in equivalent 2.7 billion They we purchased about 10 million shares of the stock for 977 mil 2021 fiscal year was a 82 increase The NAR Corporation for those of you that are new is one of the nation's largest home builders They just had a great quarter. So this is sure we purchased they they bought about 977 mil at 97.74 For the year ended the company purchased about 14 million shares At 97 Dollars and 45 cents average What if they're gonna do anymore? I have to go see if they still have buying power left I felt like they should have buying power left. What is this at? 1.37 billion Let's see where the company was at a year ago A year ago company was trading around 83 dollars Two years ago. They were trading around 70 One um before that dropped. So Yeah, I think they're still pretty um pretty on the value Could easily get to 130 So I like this company. We're gonna look for that buy to dip opportunity Typically every every earnings even though we shorted it this time we we remain bearish on it this time We are gonna I am gonna look for buying opportunities after the drop So it's pretty common for them to drop, you know after earnings they drop here after earnings came back down a lot So I'm gonna look for opportunities. I might start a position around 107 and then might start another position around 103 area So probably go longer term Wait for the drop to slow down and then start the position If it if ever does come back to this 98 dollar area where they bought a lot of shares at This is probably where I want to get the entry That's the ideal ideal discount the entry for this company the 98 dollars range Because they have a lot of sales and backlog going on there. So they should be good All right, so let's check out some of the stocks that you guys are asking us to look at um, somebody said roblox before right? think lin So roblox had a huge drop today. I think it was just because um The news wasn't as well. We see So roblox said one's day is daily active user rows 35% year-over-year to 49 million with hours engaged 32% Game developer says the revenue is estimated to be between 184 to 187 an increase of 84 to 87 percent from a year earlier Estimated average booking for daily active user was between 4.2 to 4.2 7 um But the stock fell so I guess I guess um, you know the people were expecting them to To go further You know that people were probably having way better expectations for roblox than what it came out with Oh roku products Roku products has some issues Dun dun dun So it had a gap over here when they first announced the metaverse thing on facebook. So I think I think and like and um And roblox had that earnings So that was the er gapped up here So it'd be interesting if we had that gap fill and came back down um, another area of support at like is uh So mo b line is over here around 89 Another support area I like is this trend line if we came back to test this trend line That's definitely by the dip opportunity. I wouldn't even wait for that bottom area. I would just wait for the top of the trend line Never touch it. Roku ever again Oh man I feel you What a beast right roku mess people up to roblox What was the other stock somebody told us to look at pltr. Let's take a look at this as well Oh pltr pretty discounted right now. Let's look at the half day chart I think pltr is ready for a little bit bounce could see some $19 move. It's an 1888 right now Um, could see a 50 cent move. It's been slowly going downtown I mean going downhill Here we did see some money flow coming in a half day chart. So we could see a little bit movement here It's been finding some support Possibly slanted version of a double bottom The dude the douche You know, maybe we'll see that $20 move Best case scenario. So I post that in the discussion channel and x-rays Check that chart out if you didn't um, if you want to check it out if you want to check the price targets and stuff and ee Next error energy it's been going very strong utility sectors have finally having to move Huge double bottom here Um, all time high was in 70s right now was in 90s been on this nice uptrend tier So it's probably a good area to take profit wait for the next opportunity to come back down a little bit Um, so this $83 range Because it's utilities man any time it rips up a lot I'm not Not too um, not too crazy about it. It's always good to take profit So watch out for that trend line in case it gets rejected off it It's a wrist on wrist off tray Catching up on comments What's up? Amizo? How you doing? What's up? Lord Miyagi? How you doing? Qualcomm looking good Let's check out Qualcomm Yo, Qualcomm is a monster. Why hasn't it come down yet? the hell I'm surprised it hasn't hasn't like back tested any of these levels I thought it would eventually come back to test one of these levels, but it hasn't even tested any level still very strong Not much to say man if it keep goes and going up it's going to keep going up What are you going to do about it? So so far is holding the MOB line very well so puzzle So I think as long as it holds the MOB line It's going to go up higher if it breaks it. That's probably where you want to short if it breaks the MOB Which is around 180 right now. That's probably where it's going to die Fuel cell warming up is it? Sorry, I'm a little behind in the comments guys possible Thought it was going to bounce the other day too Yo, actually this is this is a good setup on fuel cell. This is what we're looking for Um, you got the money flow got the money flow signal Smart money buy signal. We're at a very strong point of control here Um, and we got the doji for the day for the half day So we could see that move to 750s. That's a hold. That's a 7 30s. That's like a whole 80 cents move, man That's a good move kip. I like it. You might even want to buy the after hours If market does not flop tomorrow that's your that's I think it's a good move regardless over here. You probably want to put a stop loss If you got into 650s, you're looking for 80 cents. You probably want to put a stop loss around 80 cents as well So 580 stop so target Roku is so disappointing It is indeed PFE. Thank you. We see a pullback um I mean, yeah pf Pfizer is wow like that. It does it does go up and down a lot Um, it's dependent on a lot of covid news Long-term and bullish on Pfizer Good to buy gdx calls um So ravi possibly it is having a nice move up um, but I think I think we talked a little bit about gdx the other day um, we talked about opportunity to To to buy it yesterday as well So I don't know if you guys um I don't know if you guys saw that tray But we we got an entry on gdx. Somebody asked again today if it was a good entry before that big pop So it was an interesting area FedEx is tomorrow You unity unity looks pretty good for a double bottom move. I think remember looking at earlier this week Um, this is our point of control histogram So poc As I call it sometimes, uh, point of control is just a supply and demand So if um, if it's at a big purple bar, that means a good area at the man The man is good. The man means when when people are coming in to buy the stock So this is just also another good way to look at supply and demand and support and resistance So if it hits here, um And buyer comes in next level to sell at would ideally be here So pretty easy to look at if you're interested in indicators shoot me a you know, um message at this court at double seven wall streets And tell you a little bit more about it What are my thoughts on sofi? It's a great question. Let's check that out So I think we were looking at sofi last time. I was expecting rejection off that blue line here We didn't get that blue line rejection. I think Or did I missed it? Yeah, I was expecting rejection there was expecting us to come back down set up double bottom Um, obviously we broke a little bit further from that double bottom so Think we're making that move back now So we need to break above this area right here. This is uh 15 dollars 15 30s, we need to break above this area right here If we can break above that we can hit next level and possibly the 17 dollars 17 dollars a big area that would be ideally you want to see it hit But um, I don't I don't know if we're gonna touch it man. It's gonna be hard What's your screen name in uh, this court? I believe blue. Oh by the same screen name, right? So we need to break above 15 30s Forget about it Very nice Go EV Let me see Go EV Heading the MOB line on the daily chart Um, as long as this area a 14 holes it's gonna bounce very nicely here so So we got nine dollar price target from there I posted a chart in our discussion channel if you guys um If you guys haven't have a chance feel free to look at it over there I am in amazon 2022 calls four thousand How do you see the prospect for it? Oh, dude, you got so such a long time man. Who knows dude? Who knows? You got till like you got till june of 2022 But let's take a look. Let's take a look at amazon So we were looking at it the other day. We're looking for that move down to this range. We did get that move Um, and now we're bouncing off that range. So kind of almost like a head and shoulder slash You have a head and shoulder here And we're finding the bottom here now we can have a possible double bottom setup here as well So now we can have a possible double double bottom setup If we come back we come back to 3500s after 3500s You know, um, we're really close at 3466. So that's a strong close After 3500 we got to knock the 3700 again Right. So if we knock 3700 It all depends man. We would have to break 3700 to 4000s Um, it really just depends on how they're going to do next quarter So amazon said they were expecting a very very weak quarter coming into december So that's why they've been chopping a lot Grove has been declining But hey, I think if amazon does a split anytime between now to june of uh 2022 I think you're gonna be banking. I think you're gonna be making a killing If they do a split Kept there's a little double bottom here as well Wait, it's interesting It does look white ripe I might wait for that 680 area though It did look kind of interesting here, but I feel like I feel like I might want to wait till here Just be safe Let me see. What's the dollar index looking like Your dollar index has been grinding so hard. So It the unless dollar index comes down. I don't see weight getting more more power.  You got to watch out for a lot of these big tickers though You know, like how a lot of these tickers they they they gone so far from that 2020 levels Like some of these tickers the price point is so far away from the 2020 range here. They have to make multiple of money. They have to like Let's say they were trading at $3, right in 2020 Um, right now they're trading at 16 That's like five times more than they were trading that in 2020, right? So you would think at this point They got to have 500 revenue grow 500 earnings per share collectively in the last four months So i'm not sure if that's something that's feasible for a lot of these companies. Some of them are some of them aren't So you got to be careful with that That's pretty much it for today guys. We'll be back here tomorrow Uh, we we're able to gamble some earnings today and it's looking like it's going in our favor Looks like the gnar actually dropped a lot today coming back to 104s bouncing to 105s here So hopefully that area stays and if it does Oh my gosh About to make a killing Your boy is about to make a killing. Let's go I think we're priced all the way to like 100s. So good. You're good Let's say guys take care and have a good night You


Good morning from Arkansas for all you guys who said I was gonna have a hard time parking because there is no BLM land no Forced land whatever feast your eyes on this. This is just a grade a Piece of parking right here on the side of the road yesterday. We went mining for diamonds today We're gonna go mining for some gems. Hopefully we actually find something besides rocks So we're inside the Gem mining property. It's a weekend by the way today Saturday Google says it's open. He says he's closed. I'm gonna trust him. So we're gonna try and figure out what to do today That's two days in the row of zero mining success All right, next up on our little trip. We are over in the eastern Oklahoma at a place called Spiro or Spyro mounds I don't really know what to expect here other than there are some mounds over here of dirt and it is a interesting historical place where the ancestors of native Native Americans lived from 900 to 1500 AD so here's a reconstructed house from 900 to 1250 AD Looks like you can go right inside Apparently they found I don't know how some holes in the ground where the beams used to go but how do you How do you know this was like for a beam and not like a gopher hole or something? All right, so this one here is called Craig mound. This is a reconstruction of a mound which essentially is a pile of dirt All right, here's house mound five And if you think it looks like nothing well join the join the club some of the stuff has been plowed over for hundreds of years and And just natural erosion of dirt so what used to be maybe a gigantic mound It's just kind of like a small little nothing. You wouldn't even notice here's a brown mound And a nut cave this was the man cave mound. Is this correct? Yeah, so this whole property goes on for like two more miles My opinion once you've seen one mound of dirt you've seen them all Um, you're looking at nothing. Yeah, it's kind of hard to see or use your Brain to imagine what it used to be like when you're staring at what you would just think is like a field So now we're gonna go and we're gonna go get some uh barbecue scale of one to excited how excited are you? So we both got uh beef sandwiches, this is a spicy mild Coleslaw hotlings. Um, let's do a little taste test here. Whoops There we go


To think tech on OC-16, Hawaii's weekly newscast on things that matter to tech and to Hawaii, I'm Marianne Sasaki. And I'm Elise Anderson. In our show this time, we'll cover talk by Buffy Cushman-Patz, the principal of a unique local charter school. She gave us an inside look at the current status of charter schools in Hawaii, their politics and their future. Buffy took a master's in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2012. As an educational activist and a leader of one of the most advanced charter schools in our state, Buffy is uniquely qualified to tell us about the world of charter schools. She is the principal of a charter school called SEACS, S-E-E-Q-S. Its official name is the School for Examining Essential Questions of Sustainability. SEACS is in Kaimuki. It's a secondary public charter school and was founded in 2013. These days it serves some 150 students in grades 6 through 8. It offers an interdisciplinary project-based, community-based, tuition-free, secondary school experience for Oahu families. The SEACS program integrates core learning and math, science, social studies, English and the arts with project-based experiences that allow students to make use of what they have learned in real life situations. It's a very unusual school in bristles with educational creativity. Buffy's passion is teaching through the lenses of theory, policy and leadership and her on-the-ground experience as a teacher in both conventional and unconventional settings. Buffy got her principal's license while serving on the leadership team of Neighborhood House Charter School in Dorchester, Massachusetts. In 2010 to 2011, she had an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship at the Office of Legislative and Public Affairs of the National Science Foundation in Washington. Prior to her fellowship, Buffy taught math and science in public, charter and independent schools in Hawaii. Her training included a Master's in Science in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Hawaii at Minoa and a Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Florida. Buffy volunteered with Teachers Without Borders in 2008 and 2010, leading math and science workshops for teachers in South Africa. After an introduction by Arke Kale, Vice President of Activities of the Harvard Club, Buffy gave us a well-informed and spirited report on the status and problems and prospects of charter schools in Hawaii. How many of you went to public school? How many of you went to private or independent school? How many of you went to a charter school? Some of us are too old to have gone to a charter school because charter schools haven't been around for all that long. So the next question is really, what defines a public school in your mind? I don't actually mean what characterizes, but what defines? What goes into making something a public school? Funding. Funding. Tell me more about funding. Usually it's funded by a state government or a local government or school district. Government funding, yeah, public. That's one of the characteristics of public. What else defines public? Not selective. Not selective. Anyone can go. What else defines public? Don't worry, I've got the answers on my next slide, so if you don't want to add any more. And it's free. Free is an important characteristic of public schools. Are charter schools public schools? Yes, they are public schools. So here's what defines public schools in my mind, and this is part of why I started with this, because it's actually a common misconception about public charter schools. Public schools, there's no admissions criteria. Anyone can go. It's tuition-free. That's another way of saying free, but sometimes people ask, what's the tuition? It's free. It's a public school. In the U.S. these days, public schools need to be driven by common core standards. I'm going to leave lots of time at the end for Q&A, so if you want to ask me about common core standards, I'm happy to pontificate on those, but that's one of the characteristics of public schools, especially in Hawaii. And also our students have to take state mandated tests, so they have to take the Hawaii State Assessment, now known as the Next Generation Assessment. And it also means that we serve all students, including those with IEPs, or in the special education program. These are the characteristics of public schools. Charter schools are public schools. In Hawaii there are two varieties of charter schools. Anybody know what those are? The Hawaiian immersion is, I thought I might confuse things by actually, there's lots of different varieties actually, but if I'm going to characterize it in two broad areas, start-up charters and conversion charters. So start-up charters are charters that originated as an idea. Like we, I have an idea for a school, I want to make this happen. A facility is not provided to start-up charters because basically it's, here's an idea, I want to make this happen, go find a space. This is in Hawaii. This should be public charter schools in Hawaii is what I'm characterizing right now. Although I will soon draw some distinctions between charter schools in Hawaii and charter schools on the mainland, as they're typically perceived. So start-up charters, a facility is not provided. There's no geographic priority for students. So they can come from anywhere in Hawaii if you're a start-up charter. And there's an enrollment lottery if there's more interest than there is available space. That's another characteristic of start-up charter schools. Does anybody, can anybody name a start-up charter in Hawaii? Seeks is one, I'll go ahead and give you that one. Seeks is a start-up charter. Anybody know any other start-up charters in Hawaii? Voyager. Voyager is another start-up charter. Voyager Public Charter School. It's an immersion that's in the Kiki Valley. Halau Kumana. It's all about the name of it. Halau Kumana. It's not immersion, but it's Hawaiian focused. Yeah, but that one's another start-up charter, yep. UH Lab. UH Lab. UH Lab's actually its own variety practically because it was its own school first, and then they, they're kind of somewhere a hybrid between these. But UH Lab is a charter school. There's Kanuoka Aina on the Big Island. There's some of the ones you may have heard of in the news. Halau Lokahi was a start-up charter school. Myron B. Thompson is a start-up charter school. There's, there's actually 35 charters in Hawaii, and I think about 30 of them are start-up charters. So then there's a, then there's conversion charters. Oh, I forgot to mention the most important part, that charter schools, public schools, they're publicly funded. Reality is they're publicly underfunded. Do they receive a different amount for students than public schools? And DOE public schools? Yes, significantly different. So the actual amount that I get to run my school right now, my per-people funding, it comes on a per student basis, $6,700 per student per year. Compare that to what you might pay to go to Punahou, Iolani, Lapietra, any of those schools. Those are on the order of $20,000, and then they'll ask you for more money. In addition, it's part of their annual fund.  And reminder, facility is not provided. So that actually, Brent comes out of that less than $7,000 per student. So it's a little bit hard to actually compare apples to apples because in the DOE budget, they have their budget for running their schools, and then the facilities budget is actually a different line item of the state budget. But DOE schools, depending on, actually looking at the superintendent's report that she shared at the Board of Education recently, about $12,000 per student is what they were estimating. And our reality is it actually costs about $10,000 per student. I could run my school on $10,000, I run my school on $10,000 per student, and I just fundraise the difference. Then conversion charters, anybody know a conversion charter? Yep, that's right, yeah, originated as a DOE school. Ish, yeah, UH Lab mostly counts as that. YLI is a really common one that folks know about. YLI Public Charter School, also Lanikai. Lanikai was a DOE school as well that converted. It remains in a DOE facility. So they have a little bit of an advantage in that way. They get to keep their building. They said, we want the freedoms of charter schools in terms of how to run their school. And so they got the authorization to become a charter school, but got to keep their facility. They also serve students in their geographic area first. So for example, YLI, which is three blocks from Sikh, so it's our close partner for us. YLI serves all the students in the Kaimuki area first. And then if there's additional space, they have students that can enroll with a geographic exemption by lottery. So there's that parallel there that they have the lottery for the extra spots. So when they convert it, did they get their funding we used for $7,000 in the first one? Yes, yeah, yeah. So basically it's actually an entirely separate line item in the budget. We don't get our funding from the DOE for charter schools. We get our funding from the state. So it's a total different, and the state funds the DOE, and the state funds charter schools, and the Charter Commission doles that out to all the individual schools on a per pupil basis. It's probably somewhat easier if you're building to provide it. They're not having to pay for the building out of that $7,000, are they? And no, plus the facility, right? Right, yes, yes, these folks, my close friends and allies, they know they have a little bit easier funding wise, situation wise. We're all in the same boat in terms of it's still not quite enough money to run a school. Right, forget that it most important last bullet. It's they're publicly underfunded as well. But as you mentioned, they are funded from state government sources in Hawaii. That again, Hawaii's different in the sense of we have our one. We don't have local school districts. We just have our one school district for the state.  I do too sometimes actually. Charter schools have a negative perception in some places for various reasons. On the mainland, and I'm gonna give some generalizations. Every state's charter law is different. So they're not all the same. But if I give some generalizations about mainland charter schools, they're operated by non-profit or in some cases for-profit organizations. There's some states that allow for-profit organizations to run schools that then get public funding. It sounds a little crazy to me, that for-profit part of it. But even the ones that are legit are non-profit organizations. In Hawaii, charter schools are state agencies. So we're not non-profits and we're not for-profits. We are actually, each individual school is a state agency. Which has its benefits, like insurance, and payroll benefits. Those things come with being a state agency. But it has its challenges too, in the sense, well, I can get to that once we get to that. Most charter schools are characterized by having teachers that aren't unionized. And this is sometimes a critique of charter schools. Again, I'll preview what's over there. In charter schools in Hawaii, all of our teachers are part of the HSTA. And in the mainland, charter management organizations known as CMOs, they run multiple schools or networks. So you may have heard of KIP charter schools, or you may have heard of Expeditionary Learning. Those are completely varied on the pedagogical scale. Like one is a really progressive and one is a really sort of kill-and-drill model. But basically, you have these organizations that run a lot of different schools under the same model. So it's almost like a country-wide district because they're running the same model in various places. We don't have that in Hawaii. And so in Hawaii, as I mentioned, our charter schools here are operated as state agencies. So I am the executive director of a state agency. It's fascinating for me to think about sometimes. All teachers are part of the HSTA. They don't have a choice in it. They're all part of the HSTA. And our schools all have individualized missions and vision. So there are 35 charter schools in the state of Hawaii right now. We don't have any CMOs. We don't have anyone that's all that's, I mean, maybe someday we'll have CICS Honolulu, CICS Ewa Beach, CICS Maui. We might someday have an organization that would run multiple schools. But right now, there really aren't any parallel organizations like this. We were authorized by the new Charter School Commission in December 2012. And then we had our first classes in August 2013. There was a really short window between when we got authorized and when we started, but we were basically the same age as the new Charter Commission. The new Charter Commission was coming into being right at the same time that CICS was coming into being. So we were sort of running parallel tracks there. Now, here's us this year, first day of school this year. 2015, 2016 school year, we have 150 students and about 20 faculty and staff. We have these support groups. So I was mentioning that every school has its own governing board. We have a governing board. We also have our CICS Foundation, which has a board. And then we have our CICS Ohana, which is our parent group. Actually, a plug for our CICS Ohana. We're having a big Earth Day event this Saturday, 12 to 4 at KCC. And it's crafts and games and tie-dying and old t-shirts and upcycling of t-shirts in the bag. So these all have different missions, right? This one is the fun. They'll raise a little bit of money, but it's the fun, the community building. The governing board really has that task of overseeing us financially. I report financial statements to them every month. And our academic oversight, they're making sure our test scores are okay. And then our organizational, are we following state laws when it comes to how we keep records and those kinds of things? Moving into the pedagogy now, a little bit away from the structures. But our school was founded on five core principles. First is that real world situations and real world contexts enable real world learning. Our second core principle is that learning occurs when learners take ownership of their learning. The third is that everyone's a teacher and everyone is a learner all of the time. I think as parents and just adults, we know that we learn from our peers. You know, sometimes you learn things from your kids and sometimes your kids learn things from you. But all of those things, we really like take that on at our school. Our fourth is that a learning environment is composed of its community members, cultural values and physical surroundings. So what makes seeks what seeks is has to do with where we are, who we are, and who's a part of our school at any given time. And the fifth is that improvement of an organization requires constantly collaborative participation by its community members. And we mean students and parents and teachers and administrators and then the broader community. And all of those folks are constantly working together to make our school better. Students design their own projects. So you hear project-based learning. Ours is student-driven project-based learning. So students are designing their own projects that can be really messy. What's happening here is students, this was our, our essential question was, what is the value of plastic? And these students for their project decided to make drums, musical instruments out of all plastic. So there you have plastic tape, some plastic buckets. Then they present to a public audience. This is at our public presentations of learning we'd held at KCC in December. We had about 300 people come and see these students' projects. And the students are the experts. And it means so much when you're 11 and you know more than anyone else in the room about the thing you did. It is so empowering for them and they get such ownership of their learning by this public presentation. As is customary at the Harvard Club, Buffy's talk was followed by Q&A with attendees at the meeting. Charter schools provide an opportunity for innovation in the public school system. So in the DOE, there's typically decisions are made at the higher level and then trickle down through the system. And in charter schools, innovation can happen right there with the students, teachers and the administrators because it's just a smaller system. So change can happen at a lot quicker of a pace and you can pilot new ideas. And so you can sort of think of charters as an opportunity for research and development arm for public schools. I'm an advocate of public schools in general and I'm an advocate of school choice. And I think that charter schools provide an opportunity for parents to have choice, schools of choice that are public, tuition free is really the primary thing for that. I think parents should examine their local public schools and consider geographic exemptions to non-local public schools and consider charter schools. And then there's also independent schools as well. But I think charter schools add a real element of choice for mission-based schools. My school is CEICS, which is the School for Examining Essential Questions of Sustainability. And we're middle school right now and we're an interdisciplinary project-based school that's built around essential questions through the lens of sustainability. Our students do project-based work in the afternoon. But in the mornings, they have more of the traditional subjects, English, science, math, history and arts. And then I get to apply the concepts that they learn in those morning blocks in the afternoon project-based work and really then do things more than just learning stuff. Well, the future I hope for CEICS is that we'll be a six through 12th grade school once we find an adequate facility that can serve all of our students in Honolulu. And the future is that we are working in the community and that our students are serving the Hawaii-based community while they're in middle and high school and then they can come right after high school and start really making change at the meta level here in Hawaii.

I'm not I would just put doll Maybe I would put creepy I guess but I wouldn't say it was haunted So let's see what they wrote. This is a vintage composition doll that I purchased from an estate sale here in NC from an old large Victorian home I have been selling dolls and toys on eBay for over 15 years I sell mostly newer dolls and toys as you can see from my eBay store I do not sell supernatural or paranormal items and I have no interest in that kind of thing I am always looking for new merchandise to sell and I often go to antique in estate sales I purchased last weekend.  I thought but creepy. She has damage to her But I threw her in with a lot. I was buying of other toys. I don't specialize in old dolls So I'm no expert on her. She is not marked and Is in rough condition I thought it would be funny to scare my husband with her and as a joke I left her in the bedroom for a few nights on my dresser for laughs Well, I'm not interested in the supernatural or paranormal but after having her in my house for a week It's time to let her go to another home I think the doll might be haunted and my husband hates it and kids are scared of it So she needs to go after having her in my room for a few days. I was having nightmares and I never have nightmares I can't remember the last time I had a nightmare until I bought this doll into my room I thought this was odd. Also. I was waking up to a heavy feeling in my chest area Every morning and would be dizzy. I have no idea why but after a few days of this I realized it must be the doll I think it might be haunted.  She's wearing her original nightgown her body is stuffed I was three marks on her backside and it looks like three claw marks down her back I didn't even notice this until I went to photograph her for the auction But I said to myself they look like claw marks so weird She also has dark marks on her back legs damaged her feet and hands and cracking on the face You can see in the pictures. This is exactly how I purchased her one week ago After putting her away. I've not had any nightmares and the dizzy feeling and heaviness in my chest I was experiencing in mornings went away. I think it was the doll my husband and kids think it was the doll too So I have to get rid of her just having her in the house is creepy to us to us I have never seen another doll like this one and I hope I never will again if you like old creepy dolls Then this doll is for you. I don't know what else to say except she will be better in another home where someone will appreciate her Okay, so I feel like I Don't know what I feel like if this seller like is making that up.

I recently finished up an 8 month long comic book movie brackets letting the viewer decide the winner via votes. I did almost 100 comic book movies and the winner unsurprisingly was The Dark Knight. Now comic book films are going to continue to come out year after year, but I didn't think one at the level of respect and caliber as The Dark Knight would come anytime soon. I thought it was a pretty safe bet. Enter Logan. I've broken this down a million times but here we go again. The Dark Knight cast is of course pretty damn nice. You got Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Michael Cain bringing their level of sophistication to these flicks. Christian Bale reprising his role as The Dark Knight himself and he does a much better job when he's under the hood this time. Maggie Gyllenhaal takes the reins from Katie Holmes as a love interest Rachel and since I'm talking about The Dark Knight for the 800th time I will once again beat a dead dick and say she's one of the only weak links in this picture. Maggie is a great actor but because they switched actresses it lessens the death scene later on. I'll circle back to the villains in a bit but I want to switch gears and talk Logan. While the film doesn't have the same quantity of esteemed actors it makes up for that with some really fantastic performances. Mainly from Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart. Joining them on their road trip is X-23 played by Daphne Keen. Although silent for most of the picture she still gives one hell of a performance. These three come into contact with Farmhands, a mutant tracker and cloned children but it's really the trio that makes the movie. While the villains are stronger than The Dark Knight these really are two different types of movies. The Dark Knight absolutely rests on the performance of Heath Ledger's Joker. While many people loved and raved it there were some that said he was overrated. I think time has proven just how amazing this role was. Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face was handled remarkably well considering it was such a sideline story and comparison. I will argue to this day though that killing his character off early before he really had a chance to blossom in the third was a huge mistake. Logan's antagonist is a cyborg hunter of sorts named Pierce played by Boyd Holbrook. I liked his accent and his glasses that's really about all there is to the character. And since Logan is still fresh in theaters I'm going to avoid talking about any spoilery things including the other baddie in the room. It was a bit jarring at first then I realized and thought about it a little bit more it's a nice tip of the hat to the actor. Logan is a lot of things. It's a story of redemption. It's a story about family. It's a story about confronting your past. It's a plot point literally at times. And it's a story about peace and finding that peace. Xavier and Logan respect and love each other but there is a level of burden and bitterness shared as well. Xavier is suffering with a brain disease and some dementia. He has powerful seizures that affect everyone around him with devastating consequences. That plot point alone is very powerful considering who we're talking about here Xavier a man who almost is always in control with his thoughts. A man who always has the answers is now unable to think straight and is basically a weapon and a danger to those he loves the most. He has to rely on ironically the one man who never seems to think straight. The main plot sees a new girl come into Wolverine's life. She's being hunted by a small army and seeks refuge in North Dakota. Yes we are clearly in the worst timeline of the X-Men universe when people want to go to North Dakota. So a reluctant Logan takes his dysfunctional family across the country while being pursued at every turn. There's no big hero moments or buildings being ripped up from Earth. It's a very grounded comic book film. No pun intended for once. The Dark Knight was this way too. Gotham City is brought to its knees by a clowned menace who seeks out anarchy. He is the polar opposite of what Batman represents and this leads to some great character moments. The Joker constantly puts choices in front of our hero and the victims caught up in the crossfire. He makes Batman choose between the love of his life and a man who will bring security and hope to the city. The Joker is completely unhinged and free from morality and consequence. This makes him dangerous and extremely entertaining to watch. This film not only tests the characters but the audience itself having them reflect and think about how they would make these choices if they were in these situations. Not many comic book superhero movies do that and that's why Batman slash The Dark Knight is considered one of the best comic book films of all time. Let's go to round three. I'm a simple man. When I see the Wolverine go into berserker mode and start slashing off body parts, all is pretty right with the world.  Unfortunately, Fox and the screenwriters didn't give him a chance to really unleash. Not until that glorious R-Rating was gifted to director James Mangold and what a beautiful conclusion they finally reached after almost two decades. And I'm sure most of that's thanks to Deadpool, probably all of it. But hey, they got there. The action in Logan is intense, visceral, unhinged and just plain glorious and surprisingly there is a lot of it. The Dark Knight isn't the most action heavy flick. In fact, the fighting is probably the least exciting thing about the movie but that's not the intention here. There are some nice hand-to-hand scenes and obviously the practical effects are shot well. The locations are a sight to behold with large sweeping IMAX shots giving you a grand view of Gotham. I really took notice of the score in Logan. It's got this sort of western grit to it. It's somber and heavy with a good use of piano and drums. Composer Marco Biltrami is to thank for this, providing some amazing material. Hun Zimmer crafts an equally intense score with grand strings and booming bass. The title track is over 16 minutes long and just keeps building beautifully. Have I jerked off enough over these two films? I think so. Let's conclude. Make no mistake, these two flicks are some of the best in the business. If you ask me what you did, you're on my channel. Now I personally prefer Logan over The Dark Knight just because I love the character and I thought that movie was just perfect, just champagne filmmaking. But I'm more interested in what you have to say. Give me your thoughts on these two amazing flicks. Hope for your winner. And remember, this is more than just reviews. This is Movie Feuds. And I still would like to feud Logan versus Children of Men versus The Road. Three emotionally impactful films. But if I had to sit through all three of those in one night, my God, where's The Rope? You know? Fuck, those are dramatic.
