The merger formula holds that social democracy is the merger of socialism and the worker movement. It was an idea embraced by Karl Kalski, Lenin and others, who believed in a world historical mission of the workers to take power and introduce socialism, and the mission of the social democrats to merge socialism and the worker movement. Here we explain what the merger formula is and where it comes from. What the merger formula is is clear enough. Karl Kalski wrote that for the socialist and the labour movement to be reconciled with each other and to merge into one, it was necessary for socialism to raise itself above the sphere of utopianism. The accomplishment of these feet is the historic work of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, who in 1847 laid through the communist manifesto the scientific foundation of what is known as modern socialism. In what is to be done Lenin concurs, quoting a later article by Kalski at length. Socialism and the class struggle arise side by side and not one out of the other. Each arises under different conditions. Modern socialist consciousness can arise only on the basis of profound scientific knowledge. The vehicle of science is not the proletariat, but the bourgeois intelligentsia. It was in the minds of individual members of this stratum that modern socialism originated. And it was they who communicated it to the more intellectually developed proletarians who in their turn introduced it into the proletarian class struggle where conditions allow that to be done. Thus socialist consciousness is something introduced into the proletarian class struggle from without. People sometimes think we find this idea in Marx or Engels' writings about how socialism or communism is brought into the workers movement from the outside. As far as I can tell, this is not quite correct. There are three main discussions that get misinterpreted in this way. First, in the condition of the working class in England, Engels writes about a merger not with any Marxists, but between Chartists and Socialists in general, including especially, though not only, Overnight Utopians. Neither of these were specifically Marxist, or had the kind of Marxist theory that Kalski and Lenin talk about bringing to the workers movement from without. Second, there's an article by Engels called Socialism in Germany discussing the merger of two different communist strands, a working class movement connected to Weidling, and a theoretical one dominated by Marx. Rather than one of them bringing communism or social democracy to the other, both of these are described as already communist. Third, Marx's own discussion of workers' movements are clear that communism is already one particular part of the workers movement, does not limit the communists only to what later people call scientific socialists, like himself Engels and their followers, and don't really talk about theory being brought to the working class from the outside, but instead calls communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. Marx does have some ideas that sound a little bit like a merger thesis that articulates before he becomes a communist when he's still a radical democrat, but the later Marx does not. Of course, the fact that Marx and Engels didn't come up with a merger formula doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad or wrong. Not every important piece of socialist theory needs to be traced back to some founding fathers. Instead, we should ask ourselves two things. Which concrete conditions made the idea make sense to the thinkers who developed it, and when and where does the idea become part of certain relations and struggles? To this end, let's first look at the seeds of the merger formula that enter into Marxism, followed by the social and historical soil they grew within. As far as I've been able to discover, the first version can be found in Ferdinand Lassalle, who had his own version of the merger formula. In Science and the Working Man, Lassalle writes that the great destiny of our age is precisely this, the dissemination of scientific knowledge among the body of the people. The union of these two polar opposites of modern society, Science and the Working Man, when these two join forces they will crush all obstacles to advancement with an iron hand. The lens scholar Lars Lee writes that what Lassalle means by science here is essentially his popularized version of Marx's historical materialism. According to Lee, Lassalle continued to be remembered because he showed the path, that is, he set out the fundamentals of the party's political strategy, emphasizing the importance of organizing their own independent political party and agitating for universal suffrage. One aspect of his idea of organization, Lee reminds us, was a rather dictatorial cult of personality mode of inner party organization, which many later Marxists were critical of. While the seeds of the merger formula are Lassallean, they grew up in the soil of German Marxism, indeed a common justification of the merger formula is that it articulates and makes sense of their lived experiences. For decades, the guiding light of all of Marxism was the party initially known as the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany, later known as the Social Democratic Party of Germany. This was a result of the merger between the General Workers' Association founded and led by Ferdinand Lassalle until his death by dual in 1864 and the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany, led by Bebel and Diebknecht, both followers of Marx. Their union took place at a conference in Gotha, resulting in the famous Gotha program. In his 1875 critique of the Gotha program, Marx strongly criticized this document for its Lassallean ideas and strategy of taking over the existing state and using it to fund cooperatives. Marx ridicules this as faith-healing and calls the idea that we can build a new society with state loans just as easily as a new railway is a fantasy worthy of Lassalle, exclamation mark. He also points out the origins of this idea in reactionary Christian socialism concocted under King Louis Philippe in opposition to the French socialists and argues that the new cooperative relations that workers are struggling for have nothing in common with establishing cooperative societies with state aid, writing that existing cooperatives are only of value if they are independent creations of the workers and not creatures of the government or the bourgeoisie. As we all know, Marx's now famous critique was suppressed several years until 1891 when the SPD officially embraced a more Marxist line with its airfield program formulated by Bebel, Karl Kautzky and the famous revisionist Edward Bernstein and its Kautzky's reflections on this program that we quoted from earlier on. The airfield program became one of the leading documents of second international Marxism, deeply influencing later Marxists like Lenin. Marx being dead, Engels kept tradition alive by accusing the airfield program of essentially being opportunist and insufficiently Marxist in a letter to Karl Kautzky that, much like Marx's critique of the Gotha program, was long kept from publication. It's often pointed out that German second international Marxist intellectuals were part of a workers movement at political party that was, in its day-to-day practice and increasingly in its theory as well, de facto reformist, and the merger formula to Groot because it helped German Marxists to make sense of their lived experiences of this. Similarly, the merger formula is often argued to reflect the experiences of Russian Marxists, which began as groups of bourgeois or petty bourgeois intellectuals dedicated to spreading Kautzky's Marxist theory to workers, as Lenin scholars like Neal Harding and Lars Lee show in detail. Interestingly, these ideas differ from those of many left Marxist and council communists as well as the ideas of the vast majority of the revolutionary workers movement during the late 1800s and early 1900s. During this time, the Marxist historian Benedict Andersen writes that anarchism and syndicalism were the main vehicle of global opposition to industrial capitalism, autocracy, latifundism and imperialism. This continued into the early 1900s, to the extent that the Marxist historian Eric Hobsbaum writes that from 1905 to 1914, the bulk of the revolutionary left was an archo-syndicalist. These movements thought very differently about their ideas. For example, in the 1926 organizational platform of the libertarian communist draft, that Yellow Truda, workers' cause group, write that anarchism does not derive from the abstract reflections of an intellectual or a philosopher, but from the direct struggle of workers against capitalism, from the needs and necessities of the workers, from their aspirations to liberty and equality. While anarchist thinkers, Bakunin, Kropotkin and others, did not invent the idea of anarchism, but, having discovered it in the masses, simply helped by the strength of their thought and knowledge to specify and spread it. Like any Marxist idea, the merger formula has been subjected to critical debate, especially by other Marxists. As such, Marxists like Carl Kors have argued that it reflects a gap developed between his highly articulated revolutionary Marxist theory and a practice that was far behind this revolutionary theory, in some respects directly contradicted it, so that it didn't operate as a general expression of the real historical movement, but instead as an ideology that had been adopted from outside in a pre-established form. It was thus argued to make a permanent virtue out of what should have been a temporary necessity. The merger formula has also been argued to embody too much of the educator-educated model of social change that Marx associates with not only Feuerbach, but also utopian socialists like Robert Owen, who wanted enlightened bourgeois intellectuals to teach and bring socialism to workers from the outside. For Marx, this forgets that circumstances are changed by men, and that it is essential to educate the educator himself. This doctrine must therefore divide society into two parts, one of which is superior to society. To sum, the merger formula sounds a lot like saying that their Marxism is a bourgeois ideology that doesn't arise from workers' own struggles and consciousness, but must instead be made and given to them by benevolent bourgeois intellectuals. Whatever your view on it, the merger formula was an important and contested component of a lot of second and third international Marxism that I think is interesting and worth knowing more about.

about the coronavirus. Here in Israel we sat for the Omicron variant way before everyone else. About five weeks ago we closed the state of Israel to the entry of foreigners to prevent the Omicron from entering the country. We bought precious time and we used that time very wisely. We bought pills. We purchased a massive amount of the Pfizer pill. There's well requested pill that would prevent serious illness. We have that pill. It is highly efficient. It would assist the people who are infected to go past the disease and are also preparing the hospitals making sure they are ready for the peak of the wave. We demanded that the health providers will also assist in assisting the patients. We also prepared enough vaccines for adults and children. And today I announced that the director of the health ministry has informed me on his decision to allow a fourth jab for adults above the age of 60 and medical staff if at least four months have passed since their last jab. The decision of Professor Ash was taken under the best professional considerations and consultations. The meaning is major. We have a new layer of defense and this is the time to say that our policy of being first in the world with boosters has kept, maintained well, the safety of the people of Israel. The morbidity in the state of Israel at the recent time is among the lowest in the world. In the UK the morbidity is 50 times greater than that of Israel. In the U.S. morbidity is 130 greater than that of Israel. But we must not keep still. I ask everyone who is who can get that fourth jab to go and get it. We're talking mainly about the older population. The time gave us the time to learn about the Armageddon and prepare our plans. We see countries like the Netherlands or Germany who didn't have the time and had to go for a full or partial lockdowns. We saw other states like France and the U.K. and the U.S. states like New York and Texas that are dealing with peaks of hospitalizations. I want us to negotiate between those two extremes. Our prime goal remains to allow a functioning economy as much as we can while protecting the most vulnerable. The situation right now is that we have over 5,000 new cases a day. My estimation by the end of the week will reach over 20,000 new infections a day and perhaps even over 50,000 patients a day. These are very great numbers. The good news are that we've learned from the world that if you are fully vaccinated, three jabs for an adult and a vaccine for a child, you're very well immune from suffering serious illness. Even if you're infected, the illness will not be serious. Therefore, we decided to allow vaccinated not to be tested. The rule that needs to lead us all is the fact that the vaccination protects you from serious illness and from isolation from quarantine and from the need to enter quarantine. People of Israel, I understand your frustration and confusion. Nobody asked for another wave. The damage to the daily life is real. The government does everything it can to prepare for the situation that is felt all around the world. Now, what is the mandate of you? Those of you who did not vaccinate, go out and vaccinate. Who did not get the booster?  It's not too late. Who did not vaccinate his children?  It takes time for children to build a shield from the vaccine. Second, it is important to use the masks, face masks, that makes all the difference between a light disease and a serious one. And take care of the vulnerable, of the elderly and the non-vaccinated in my family.  In the near future, elderly people can avoid visiting crowded places and wear masks. I ask all of you to show understanding and patience if there are problems. And yes, there are, like the long lines we're seeing. We will take care of them. But the situation is that we have a massive amount of new cases. And therefore, in these very hours, we're preparing for changing the criteria about detests in order to remove the burden. I wish to thank the health system, the minister, Nitzan Hovitz, the director general, Nachman Ash, Shauna Roy Price, director, Salman Zarka, all the good people that are working together and making sure to manage this thing. They're doing a very good job. I ask of you, take care of yourself, of your children. You need patience. And together, we will get through this wave as well. Thank you very much. Questions? Mr. Prime Minister, are we going to a model of herd immunity? And can you say that clearly to the public? And we moved from very clear regulations to recommendations. Even from within your family, we see that. Or do you not have the political power to enforce these regulations? We understand and see what's happening around the world. Large amounts of the public are getting infected all over the world. We are trying to slow down the pace when we did a very good job with that. But our guiding line this time is different. This wave is coming. There's no way of stopping it. We want in this short term of the wave not to have the vulnerable people walking outside risking themselves. The principle this time is different. Those who are fully vaccinated can continue with his daily life. Also from ages five and above. And those who are not, we do not want them to be exposed to take care of themselves. The government has done many things. And I think this is being managed very well. At the end of the day, the public has to take responsibility and protect itself. This is all we're saying. Mr. Prime Minister, the last time you did not answer our question, so we would like to get an answer. On the one hand, you present urgency. On the other hand, the regulations change every few days, sometimes even conflicting regulations. You want a fourth jab, but you are unable to raise the number of Israelis who get the third jab. You send Israelis to get tested. And then the testing centers are crashing. You criticized your predecessor for the urgency. What has changed? We operate against a pandemic that changes much quicker than before. The doubling in the Delta was every 10 days. Here it's every two, three days. So it's like taking a film of two hours and shortening it to a few minutes. We could have chosen a strategy of other countries of putting on a lockdown, shutting down the country for a month. This is what happened last year with tremendous damages. We could have also go with the flow and do nothing and see very high morbidity. We're lack to take responsibility to make decisions, even difficult ones. According to the developments, I cannot say that there will not be other developments. There will be. I assess that in the near future, there will also be a change in the criteria about who needs to get tested in order to reduce the amount of testing. We are reaching the peak of our ability. We are aware of this very well. I can already tell you that we will update something that will remove some of the pressure in schools vaccinated who will be exposed to cases will be able to be checked at the schools. And this will start in the coming days. This would also remove some of the pressure. There will be other elements. What can you do? The Omicron is washing the entire world, brings it to extreme situations where taking decisions and update them as much as we can. And we just heard Prime Minister Naftali Bennett address the wave of Omicron surging through Israel at the moment. Really two main headlines out of the Prime Minister's address. There was a decision taken now, finally by the Health Ministry Director General that those over age 60 will be able to receive a fourth shot of the coronavirus vaccine. And another headline from Prime Minister Bennett testing, though as Israel starts running out of COVID tests, those criteria for those who tested will change. He did not go into detail on that. Let's go back to Professor Amit Asad, Deputy Director of Sharia Ethnic Medical Center, speaking to us from Sarah here in Israel. And Professor Asad, let's first of all relate specifically to some of the points raised by the Prime Minister that will directly affect your hospital there, one that a medical staff or medical staff will now be able to get received a fourth shot, a booster shot. And then of course his comment that hit the measures that he's government took basically-


Good day, fellow investors. I recently received a question in the comments below what I think about bonds, especially high yield bonds. There isn't much difference between high yield and bonds or junk bonds, so I'll discuss in this video my view over bonds. That is, again, completely different than what the rest of the market sees. So if you own bonds, it will be good for you to see a different perspective. If you don't own bonds, it will be good for you to reinforce that notion of not owning bonds. So today I'll discuss the current bond environment, the long-term trends, what impacts bond prices and what has been the situation and what is the outlook for the future, the risks and rewards of owning bonds now, and I'll also discuss high yield bonds and ETFs. $100 10-year treasury bond portfolio since 1981 looks like this. If you would have invested $100 in 1981, you would now be around $1500, a bit more $1500. The returns were extremely positive and this is the 35-year bull bond market. Nevertheless, there have been also some negative periods for bonds. In 2013, the 10-year treasury bond lost 9.1%. This is with coupons. The above returns are also with coupons. 2009 lost 11%, 99 lost 8%, 1994 lost 8%. So even bonds, even the 10-year bonds that deemed the safest bond of all, can lose 8, 9, 10% per year. Now, why did those bonds fall in value with the coupon? Because interest rates went up. Here you have the same years that I mentioned before, 1994, 1999, 2009 and 2013. And you can see how interest rates went up. In 1994, from 5.77% to 7.8%, 1999 from 4.6 to 6.6%, 2009, 2.18 to 3.83%, 2013 from 1.87 to 2.99%. So each time interest rates increased by 1% to 2% or 100 to 200 basis points, the 10-year bond drops 10%. So it is logical that as soon as interest rates increase, bond values drop. And let me show you how does that affect bonds by what says the SEC. If market interest rates, this is an example from the Securities Exchange Commission, increased by 1%, then the value of a bond with 10-year maturity at the beginning with then 9 years remaining falls from 1,000 to 925. So this is just an increase from 3% to 4%. And the decline is 7.5% on the value of the bond. Now imagine what would happen if we see a reversal in what has been going on for the last 45 years, with declining inflation and declining interest rates. Let's see, is it possible that the trend turns around and we see increasing inflation and increasing interest rates for the next 45 years? Nobody thinks it's possible, because nobody looks beyond the past 2-3 years for information and for data, except a few people like Ray Dalio that I already mentioned. But who listens to Ray Dalio, that crazy hedge fund manager, right? Here, from the 1950s, the effective federal funds rate went only up. And I already mentioned in a video that by the end of the 1970s, bonds were called certificates of confiscation, because from the 1950s till 1981, all those that invested in bonds lost huge amounts of money. Nobody liked bonds. And then the story turned and interest rates went only down and inflation went only down. Where do you think can interest rates go from the current level, up or down, where I don't see them going more down? So bonds are carrying a huge risk. If in the next 30 years we see a repeat of what went on from 1950 to 1982, pension funds and all those invested in bonds will be terribly, terribly affected. Let me just show you a few calculations. Let's say you invest now in a 10-year treasury bond with an interest rate of 2.3%. And if that interest rate, that yield goes to 10% in one year, yes, you would have a higher yield, but you would lose 35% of your value because the required yield is much higher and the future value when you get your principal back is discounted at a higher rate. If I go to a 30-year bond and interest rates go from the current 2.86 on a 30-year bond to 10%, the loss on that bond in one year if that happens is around 65%. So we have the 30-year bond that yields 2.86%. The 10-year bond that yields 2. something percent. So that's the yield. However, the risk is 35% from the 10-year yield, 65% for the 30-year bond. For a return of 2% per year, isn't that a crazy, no reward, huge risk investments? That's my opinion on bonds. Now, if you want yields, don't look at bonds. Look at at least real estate because real estate increase in value with inflation and rents can be increased. Bonds are eaten up or destroyed if inflation comes. So think about that. Think about the safety and think about what can happen in the next decade, especially with longer-term bonds. Now, the next story is high yield. High yield is just a name coined by Wall Street in order to sell junk bonds. If you're selling somebody junk, he won't buy it. However, if you call it high yield, then oh, it's a very interesting high yield bond, much better than the low yield treasuries. However, high yield equals junk. Always remember that. Let's see the high yield market and how to go about it. This is the high yield US effective curve. You can see that the current yield on high yield, junk bonds, junk companies that have a junk credit rating is 5.55%, which is extremely low. However, you can see that as soon as there is some turmoil, that yield can soon jump to 22% like it did in 2008. And if that happens, you can expect immediately a 30-40% loss on the ETF, high yield ETF that you hold. But there is an even bigger risk. Now, there has been a proliferation of ETFs in the last 10 years. And all those ETFs invest in bonds, high yield bonds, also high yield ETFs. The point of owning an ETF is that you have quick liquidity. You can trade it every day. You can sell it as soon as possible. But in the last 10 years, yields have been going only down, so people didn't want to sell those ETFs. But if yields start increasing, if interest rates start increasing inflation, then people will rush to sell them. And when they rush to sell them, those ETFs will have to unload those high yield bonds. And there will be no market because nobody will want to buy those junk bonds. And let me show you a little bit more in detail. The iShares iBox high yield corporate bond ETF has issued 229 million shares. The value of one share is $88 something, thus the market cap of the ETF is 20 billion. The ETF I just mentioned owns 120 million of the SFFAR Group SA 2026 7.38 coupon bond. The total issue of the bond is 5 billion. So just this ETF, just this one owns 125 million of 5 billion. So that's 2.5% of the whole issue. And a few other ETFs that own the same and a few pension funds that want to hedge funds that want to unload this in case of panic. And you immediately see yourself with a 1 billion S and absolutely no bid. What will be the value of that? It will be cents on the dollar. Mark my words. Is that a risk worth running for a 5.5% yield? I don't think so. Therefore what you can do is really okay go for the 5.5% yield and then hedge it with a put option on the same ETF that you are buying. Because those put options are now cheap and the yield is higher. So you can really get a free lunch there. Try to calculate if you can find one. However be hedged if you are in long term high yield bonds. The conclusion is very easy today. Stay away from bonds. Whatever you do, stay away from bonds. The risk of loss is huge. The probability of loss in the next 10-20 years is huge. The returns are extremely low. This is a negative asymmetric risk reward situation. Something nobody wants to be in. This is because interest rates are low. Of course people compare investments. They don't look at common sense long-term risks. They compare investments. Compare this yield with what you get in the bank. Oh the bond gives me 0.5% more. Okay but then investing bonds only if you are happy with the yield and expect to hold till maturity. If you buy a higher yield bond in order to park your money for a few years, then don't do it. If you buy a bond, hold it till maturity, you know what you are doing, you are happy with the yield and you have several bonds with different maturity dates where you can buy new bonds at a higher yield later then it's okay. Then that's a different strategy. But be sure to know what you are doing. If you are just trying to park, make some yield on some bonds, longer-term bonds, don't do it. Italy last year I think they issued when the interest rates were very low, a 50-year bond at 3.2%. In the next 50 years, Italy will go bankrupt five times. So those who bought that yield were absolutely crazy as long-term investments. I'll finish with that. Enough about bonds. Those are really mass destruction items now. Perhaps in the next 10 years we'll come back on bonds, but for now on this channel we don't discuss bonds anymore. Thank you for watching. I'll see you in the next video.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is Monday inside of FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. You know what that means. We're talking about a little thing called the market outlook. We're gonna take a look at the market right now and where I think it could be going this week, what kind of content we could be getting as the foot freeze promo is kind of coming to a close. And first things first, we already have a lazy sale on a nice little Marcus Rashford that we bought tonight after rewards. By the way, check that coin total on the top left. That's kind of crazy. I'm gonna break that up right now and probably buy myself another Rashford to take care of that one that was just bought for me because tonight again with the rewards, market stuff is getting low. We have a lot of stuff that's been supplied. A lot of cards are being sold off right now. Again, it's a normal Sunday night, Monday morning in FIFA where a lot of stuff is really low out of packs cards, in-packs cards. But there's a lot of stuff that we can talk about right now relating to the market and what is happening and what I see with new people coming on to this game. And then of course we'll go into the talk of a little bit of what's gonna be coming out later this week with the foot freeze promo, ending road to the final and freeze cards going out of packs. We have a showdown game that's gonna be played tomorrow and Tuesday with Acuña and Cochlan, Villareal and Sevilla going at it. But look at these prices, man. Killian Mbappe is 900,000 coins. This guy is down from Saturday, almost 100K.  Neymar is down a lot as well. This is that time of the year where this stuff really kind of, really, really goes down before we have team of the year. And a lot of people are selling these cards, I think, because team of the year is on the horizon. I think these guys will bounce back a little bit, but these guys are really low. And it's crazy how low they're getting. A lot of other gold cards have dropped too. Some of the stuff was lower, though, on Saturday. And I think with what you're seeing with some of the stuff is Furlan Mendi was 29,000 coins and he's rebounded since from being in the low 30s up to like 32, 33K. I know a lot of people I've invested in Furlan Mendi. You're feeling good, right? You're feeling good right now if you have this card because you're making some coins on it, right? I was looking at gold cards tonight because a lot of these cards rise up into the early week anyway. And Rashford is one of those for me that has not really risen yet and he's still pretty low. And with what I'm talking about with a lot of new people being on the game, if you take a look at what cards are like up right now, a lot of stuff that has not been sold off too much are cards that people that are just now getting the game for the first time, that are maybe having, you know, not that many coins. Maybe they have like 100K, 150,000 coins they got from opening some promo packs. Players like those types of players are the ones that are going up right now. Now this guy had a crazy rise this weekend. I think he kind of falls behind on the radar because it's just a card that isn't looked at that much. But this Pepe team of the tournament card, team of the group stage Pepe, this guy was 44,000 coins last week before rewards. He is back up to 50K. He was 57K after rewards last week. This is a perfect example of a cheap card that somebody who is just getting the game would see as a very, very good option to put into their FIFA Ultimate team. Another item, some of these old team of the week cards like early on team of the weeks that are low rated, this Joe Felix, right? This guy was like 73,000 coins on Saturday night. He is up at around 80K now. He's risen up a decent amount because people know he is good in this game. I believe his player of the month, SBC expires somewhat soon in the next like week or two or something. And it's still pretty expensive. 440K for that SBC, it's up a decent amount because fodder is high at the moment. But some of these like team of the week one through five informs. I know there's a team of the week SBC that is out right now. This dropped yesterday, but I'm telling you guys this SBC does not have the market impact that it used to have. Because first things first, it's not 81 plus. They used to make these team of the week SBCs 81 plus and they were somewhat good. Now, you open up one of these team of the week upgrades and you're getting a 76 rated player from a team of the week and a player you didn't even know existed, right? A lot of people don't get good stuff from these because they're not 81 plus anymore. Some people have been saying, yo, why would you want to buy out of packs cards and stuff that is low tonight on like a Sunday night or on a Monday morning that could possibly rise or it could possibly get hurt by a tradable team of the week pack, which I understand where you're coming from but I really don't feel like there's any cards out there that are gonna get hurt that much because of a tradable team of the week SBC because the pack weight is so low. Now this Thorgan Hazard got a major, major undercut on foot bin and this is 18 minutes ago. So it's probably not there anymore but some of these foot freeze cards are getting kind of low and I like these cards because they're rare. Mane was like 2.2 mil this weekend. He's 1.99 right now getting dropped, getting panic sold a lot. He had 2.17 on Friday and I bet on Saturday even he was almost at 2.2. 2.2 on Saturday morning. So I think a lot of these cards, yes, they're getting panic sold but I do think they will rebound a bit. Some of these freeze cards are very rare. Bernardo Silva was over 600K. He's down at 560. If I saw 550 on this, I would pull the trigger. This Lautaro is getting low. He was in 380, he's 365. Verati was down, he was up at 135 at one point. He's down some and then of course the guys that are in packs, St. Maximon, Dembele, right? These guys are getting sold a lot. Of course they did get packed during squad battle rewards but I think a lot of people were gonna snatch up these cards into the first of the week because they wanna try these guys out. I would not be surprised if St. Max goes back over a million coins like in the next day or so because I think this is a card that so many people wanna try. Same thing with Dembele and they were only in packs for a few days. So I think these guys are gonna continue to drop off a little bit this morning but I think they will rebound later on in this week because they're just brand new cards that people wanna try out. So if you have St. Max or Usman and you wanna try them out, I mean now is not a bad time at all. Some of the other cards like Kealini, you know this kind of interests me. I feel like this is a card that I could see rising out of packs but he's already up a little bit. This guy was in the 170s. It is absolute lowest on the weekend. So if we saw any sort of panic or anything that would make this card get back into the 170s on the PlayStation or the Xbox, let me check and see what he is on Xbox. He's 170 on Xbox. So you know in the mid 160s on Xbox, he was 164 yesterday. He's already gone up and he was in the 170s on PlayStation. So I feel like some people are investing in Goosens I've heard, maybe Kealini. Some people are starting to invest in those cards. I would just say be very careful with that. Same thing with Road to the Final Set threes. I know there are people that are investing in these cards and I understand why you're doing it, right? I understand why people are buying Cancelo to be completely honest but I feel like the rise that we have had on Cancelo today is, it's kind of tricky man. This guy was like 115,000 coins. He's now up to 135. I feel like there's a lot of over-investing that's going on here. I understand why people are buying this card up. I don't like it though. I really don't like it because yes, it's a solid card. Yes, he is going to get upgraded but I feel like it's just going to be kind of like a Quincy promo situation where it just gets too inflated and it gets panic sold. Now, if you're going to buy any of these cards buy this guy, right? I would say this is one of the cards that I would say out of this whole set of Road to the Finals I think Alaba is undervalued because of his links because of the upgrades that are coming to him and then even why Naldum at 420,000 coins is pretty low. Pugba's live card at 517 is pretty low. Insignee's card at 111 is pretty low but I just think you can put your coins at this point in the game I think you want to stay more liquid, right? I don't think you really want to be sinking a lot of your coins into an investment like this when you could just be staying liquid unless you're going to be quick flipping. I just don't like it. I just really don't like investing these cards too much. They are rare. During the team of the year these guys will be fantastic investments, right? During the team of the year these guys will be fantastic even if they're up a tiny bit until then still keeping your coins pretty liquid right now I think is the move in terms of a lot of these cards because I know they're rare and stuff, man but these cards aren't getting upgraded until February. So team of the year is a big promotion a lot of stuff coming out then. Now these cards do go out of packs on Tuesday and they do fluctuate around a lot but in my opinion, I would be waiting to really, really buy up those cards until during team of the year or after as you're trying to maybe invest and buy into a team with some of that stuff. So keep an eye out for some of those and my controller just got unplugged which is an L because this controller has been messing up on me lately, man. I like using the Xbox controller on PlayStation but it's kind of in a pain lately. So all right, now we're working back again but yeah, right now I'm just kind of going through some of the team of the weeks on foot bin and looking for stuff that is low and I like the freezes because they're new cards they're out of packs, some of them are and a lot of people are liking to use them, right? But this week is gonna be a fantastic week to fluctuation trade on this game. It's gonna be a great week to fluctuation trade, right? Guys like Pepe, guys like Diogo Jota this guy goes from 63K to 68K like every single day, right? Looking through these teams and finding cards Holland's special card as well. A lot of these guys fluctuate a really high amount. This Mendy card bounces around. This Raphinha card bounces around. I was talking about him on stream. These cards are gonna be fantastic to fluctuation trade with and what that means is, let's take a look back at like, I think Jota is the one I wanna use as an example. Fluctuation trading basically means check this out on Saturday, right? Of course party bag drops, he goes to 59K but even yesterday he was 60, he was between 62,000 coins and 68K. Multiple times in a day, he had 60K, he had 66, went back down to 62, went to 68. Really small flips, really small budget but you think about all the new people that are playing this game of FIFA right now and they're buying some of these new cards. That's why I was mentioning going back to some early team of the weeks. Some of these cards that you know, you don't really think about anymore. They're probably bouncing around at a decent amount in price. Look for good links, good nationalities, good leagues, right? This Bomba card, 20 was 24,000 coins, he's now down to 21, 22. You find this guy on a snipe at 20K, you'll probably be able to sell him at 24 at some point during the week. That's a low budget trading method but it's gonna be fantastic, fantastic this week because people aren't doing much buying except for those new guys that are coming in and playing, Tixera at 116 is low. Lukaku is low, Pugba is low, man. A lot of these rule breakers are very cheap which is interesting to me. Costa 336, these guys are low again. Andre and Kamara, they're probably gonna rise this next week as well. Both of these cards, man. Both of these cards, Benjamin Andre and you know what, I'm probably gonna go, I might snag up some Benjamin Andre and some Kamara right now. I know a lot of people packed these guys from the Party Bag SBCs but these cards get bought up every single week as like a week in league rewards investment, man because everybody buys these because they're French and because they have good links. These are like the guaranteed risers every single week in FIFA because of all the links that they get, the league one special cards that everybody has. So take a look at some of these cards, right? Stuff that you know goes up every single week. Just watch the, I just got that at 53K, man and there's nothing under 57, is that real? Is that real? There's 50, I'm gonna buy this one at 55 too because there's nothing at 58 and literally I can flip that card right now for profit. So that's the kind of stuff I would look out for that is low, it's stuff that always rises. What about this? That's the wrong guy. That is the wrong guy. This is the right one, let's go. 58K, all right, so he's got a little bit more supply but excuse me, I like these cards. I like these cards a lot. The rule breakers are rare. These guys are French. Those are all the links that people are messing around with right now. So that's why I bought some Rashford's. I'm basically looking for a quick little rise out of the weekend, which is kind of what we see every single week on a lot of these cards. I'm gonna see if I can snag this one like on bid right here for 53K. You know, I'll snag that for 53. Sign me up, that's pretty cheap. I'll be able to sell that at 60,000 coins I think later this week. Sign me up, man. So stuff like that is what I'm looking at right now. There's still gonna be deals as you're watching this video. Icon trading this week is probably gonna be decent as well because again, people just want to try out some of those new cards on the market. You know, icons fluctuate enough on their own if they're good to trade with most of the time. So if you do like icon trading, you can definitely do some of that this week and keep your eyes out for some deal on those. But again, I would really focus on that low tier market this week in terms of trading and investing and flipping because that's where a lot of people are buying right now like the Joao Felix, the Holland special cards because those are kind of the guys that are on the promo, on the cover of this game. And if you're getting the game right now, you're probably a little bit more of a casual player is what I would venture to assume. So this Holland at 154, right? If I saw an undercut at like 145, like a 6-7K undercut, this guy fluctuates to like mid-160s all the time. He's very rare. This guy's actually getting very rare on the market for whatever reason. That's, he's like a 160K card and he's a big name player that a lot of people want to use is if they're getting the game, they're like, yo, this guy's only 160K. That's not bad for starting off their FIFA Ultimate team. So that's kind of where I'm focusing at this week on the market. Now, content-wise, all of this stuff or a lot of this stuff is going away. Upgrade packs are going away and it's gonna get a lot of questioning this week. Is Team of the Year coming soon, right? Is Team of the Year gonna be coming? I honestly don't think that we're gonna see Team of the Year this week. Now, technically, what they could be doing this Friday is Team of the Year nominees because the FIFA Pro World 11 has been released. The nominees have been released for that as well. And I think that's what EA really bases their stuff on. For Team of the Year. So I would expect, in my honest opinion, I could see if they wanted to run Team of the Year nominees, they could do it this next week starting on Friday the 1st of the year, run nominees until the 8th, and then run Team of the Year starting on the 11th. Now, I guess it is also possible that if they're not running nominees, they could release loading screens for Team of the Year starting on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week and then they start Team of the Year on Monday. So we're gonna start talking about Team of the Year related stuff just in case they do that. And it's gonna cause a lot of panic on the market if they do release those loading screens because a lot of people have sold off, but more people will sell if they do release loading screens like that. Now, I don't know if you guys remember last year, but the Team of the Year and FIFA 20, the loading screens were like, they kind of updated them every single day. They were updating them every single day with new stuff. And we were trying to find like what exactly was going on. Here's a quick picture, if you guys remember this at all, they had, this was like one of the loading screens that we saw first at Team of the Year and they were dropping like little hints, right? And, you know, they showed us the car design on one of these and then they did this one with like the player moments and the flashback. So like they were giving us all sorts of hints and stuff during Team of the Year for the loading screen. So I would expect that again this year and we'll probably start to see car designs added to the code. That'll be something to watch out for. And we'll talk about it more this week, but I don't think you have to be like that afraid of it or not afraid, but just like, I don't think you have to be expecting Team of the Year this week. I really don't, I don't think you have to be. We'll see, but I'm gonna list this for lazies right now. I don't think you really have to expect it this week.  But these guys allow these one day, 13 hours for Kappa, violin goes away and also one day, 13 hours and then icon swaps end with the season because the season ends this Friday as well. It's kind of behind my face cam again, but four days right there, four days, the season is over. So that means those icon swap objectives are gonna go away. We'll get new ones in there and it'll be basically starting a new season on January 1st of the new year. So that's gonna be very interesting as well. Last week of FIFA in 2020, man. It kind of crazy to think about it, but that's the market outlook for this week, man. Kind of like big question marks. Are we starting Team of the Year? I don't think we will be. It might be kind of a quiet week unless they drop Team of the Year nominees. We'll talk about that and of course cover all the market movements here on the channel throughout the week.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Prophecy File Briefing. I'm glad that you've joined me today. I want to share with you just a little clip from my very special guest who was with us for the Prophecy Files Bible Prophecy Conference, Pastor Shane Warren. Even while he was speaking, the subject that he was taking up was unfolding right in the service. And I want you to make sure that you hear what he has to say. So here's a short clip of Pastor Shane Warren from the Prophecy Files Bible Prophecy Conference. One of my favorite groups of people in history are the Moravian Christians. They were persecuted Protestants before there even was Protestants. They were a minority in Central Europe. No such thing as Protestantism, but they were Protestants nonetheless. 100 years before, Martin Luther. The Moravians rejected, now this is before Martin Luther, the Moravians rejected many of the abuses and the eras of Rome's and pursued a simple faith of worship and charity for their generation. As a result, the Moravians were severely persecuted and they suffered great hardship. Nevertheless, they are marked by history for their extraordinary compassion, their service and above all their passion for souls. In the early 1700s, Moravians began coming into the new world. Some came because they were trying to escape the persecution and because they were being forced from their homes. Others were compelled by powerful missionary impulse. For example, some saw a swelling population of slaves being transported to the colonies in the Americas and they wondered how these poor black souls would be reached for Christ. They noticed that the treatments of the slaves everywhere in the new world was appalling, but in the West Indies in particular, it was especially so. The seemingly endless supply of fresh slaves available from Africa convinced Caribbean plantation owners that they didn't need to provide any care for their slaves at all. So they literally worked their slaves to death and then they would just go out and order or buy replacements. It was this group of shackled and shamed humanity that broke the heart of white Moravian Christians and they had this desire to reach them. The problem is, watch now, how does one culture infiltrate another culture?  They begin to pray, God, how can we take the gospel to them? Their solution was this, they would sell themselves into slavery because the only way to reach these slaves was to become one of them. On October the 8th, 1732, a Dutch ship left Copenhagen Harbor bound for the Danish West Indies and on board, there were two white Moravian missionaries, John Leonard Doper, who is a potter and David Nitschman, who was a carpenter. Both were on their way for one reason, to sell themselves into slavery so that they could reach the slaves of the West Indies. As the ship slipped away from the belly of the ship with the slaves, they looked to their friends and their loved ones who were on the dock. They stretched out their hands out of the windows of the ship and they cried a cry that would ring in the ears of future generation and Moravian missionaries. They knew that they would never ever see their family again. They would never hug their kids. They would never embrace their grandkids, but they were so burdened that there was a culture that was lost and without God, they were willing to give it all up to take Jesus into that culture. So as the slaves ship slipped out of the harbor, they had been bought on the auction block, put in the shamed shackles. They stood at the window and they released a cry that is forever recorded in history. And here it is. May the lamb that was slain receive the reward of his suffering. They sold themselves. Let me quote the scripture again. A seed shall serve him and it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. What did these two white men going into a black culture, a slave culture accomplish? Well, some historians estimate that 80,000 slaves came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the effort of these two men who decided to give up their life. What were they? They were the seeds willing to die, fall into the ground and their king would receive the harvest of a generation. They understood what you and I have got to get in our spirit once again in the body of Christ. We are placed on this earth for a fleeting whisper time, not to be comfortable, but to comfort, not to be served, but to serve, not to bring glory to ourselves, but to give God the glory that he deserves. May the lamb that was slain receive the reward of his suffering. You've been hearing an excerpt from Pastor Shane Warren who was one of my special guests right here at the prophecy files conference. And I know that it will be a blessing to you as you watch the entirety of his message. Even while he was teaching on a subject, that particular subject was unfolding right in the service in the news. And I want to encourage you to hear the entirety of his message. I believe it will be insightful and help you to understand just how close we are to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want you to make sure you're with me for more of these prophecy file briefings as we bring you excerpts from our special guest from the recent Prophecy Files Bible Prophecy Conference. Till then, remember Jesus Christ is coming soon.

Hey friends today. I am at Hollywood Studios my first time being back and I have Eight minutes to get in the park to try to get my 10 a.m. Slap for rise of the resistance. Let's go do this 9 And my phone is blurry 58, so we have two minutes. Oh boy here it comes Couple seconds. We're gonna try to do this one-handed, which is very risky A couple seconds to boom. Done. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go Boom, group four. Yes Come on Michael Come on No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I am so excited boarding group number four That is the lowest I've ever gotten. I was like shaking. I don't know why Boarding groups and Hollywood Studios does this to me, but wow what an anxious start. I'm so excited Michael didn't get it though. I feel so bad his app kept on kicking them out So it kept on signing them out so he wasn't even gonna get it I felt horrible. We were right next to each other when we were trying to join boarding groups It is 10 10 a.m. And they've already called boarding group for I need a second I need to compose here. That was a lot actually Oh, I kind of mapped out my day and so far because I was so lucky and I got the fourth Boarding group that really threw a wrench in the plans, but a good wrench I figured I was gonna try to get a boarding group see what I got then run to Mickey and Minnie's run away We're away get in line. Hopefully by the time I got out of line I'd be able to go ride rise of the resistance, but now I can literally just go right down to Batu met up with some friends Walt dandy clothing company you guys might recognize that shirt. I love the figment one and also my wall dandy one He's the maker You're the maker It's great to be back Before I actually get on rise of the resistance I'm gonna walk down with these guys to smugglers run. It is their first time being here It's her first time being here his first time being here in like 20 years 20 years So he's never he's never seen any of this I think that's like so cool because it's like fresh eyes Hey, and also because I personally Wanted to get this view huh, oh I love it. I love it here so much They were also not able to get a boarding group for rise of the resistance at 10 a.m So it kind of made me bumped up because I thought I was gonna be riding with somebody Maybe Michael K, but no he didn't get it them. No, they didn't get it So I guess it's just destined destined single rider for life And now the journey begins The amount of fans they have going in the rise of resistance queue is amazing. Thank you for that It's such a relief on a hot day That's the good stuff that's the good stuff Everybody's been actually doing a really great job at socially distancing. I'm really impressed actually here I'm getting so excited because we're almost there and I'm gonna be able to ride It's been a long time that I've been on this ride Actually, it's been a long time that they've been in Hollywood studios.  Thank you Thank you. Oh Man the ride actually went down. I've been sitting here probably about 20 minutes Maybe and they actually came over the loudspeaker and said if you'd like to leave you can just exit through the way You came in and to see a cast member on the way out. I think I'm gonna hold my post though And it was about 35 minutes. We waited in here I didn't want to leave because I didn't know if I was gonna be able to get a return time But I'm gonna ask the cast member because if that's the case I probably would have left and then came back and tried to ride it with my friends later on We moved a couple of spots, but it's been 45 minutes. I don't know. I'm starting to think like do I leave because if I leave Well, I lose my spot. I just want to be able to ride if I can ride later I'll leave and go get a return time, but I don't know if that's the case. I Decided to just give up and go see if I can actually get another return time or another boarding group But I'm kind of stuck. I mean there's an emergency exit there and then this corridor is just full of people So I really don't have anywhere to go and I don't see any cast members anywhere And you do get a return pass a multi-experience pass to bribe rise of resistance I'm Pretty sure we're a little bit backstage to my left which I don't want to show you but this is the Muppets queue We're exiting out of rise of the resistance The cast member told us that we can come back and ride rise of the resistance But there's a big group of us that like left at the same time and we checked our my Disney experience app And when they put the multi experience pass on there, it did not include rise to the resistance So if this happens to you make sure you check and now the cast members trying to fix it for us now So if I came back later, they probably would have told me I can't ride Now we fixed Well that is super awesome not only did they fix it but they gave me an additional one as well Wow, I am like so shocked unbelievably shocked Well that kind of worked out for us. This is what I was talking about as being the Muppets queue Backside of it actually goes in to rise of the resistance and because We were waiting there for a while and they sent us the first multi-experience That didn't have rise of the resistance. They said we can keep the other one and they added the rise of the resistant ones on there That's awesome. See, I'm not mad. It's okay. I'm you know things happen. I'm perfectly happy But oh no, it's starting to rain. We're gonna have to book it and find some shelter. Wow This is a crazy turn of events. This is this is really something else happened in Hollywood studios But everything is copacetic because I'm just happy to be here I mean, I just got a rise of the resistance fast pass plus an additional one I mean, I would have been upset if I wasn't able to ride But I'm just still appreciated that I was able to come to Hollywood studios today. So it's always a win And since I have a return time to ride rise of the resistance I might as well become a pilot on the Millennium Falcon because it's only a 15 minute wait Looks like even though it's at a 15 minute wait. The line is moving pretty quickly and at a very consistent pace Wow, that's pretty interesting. We're walking right through the pre-show Absolutely Yes, thank you Very good. I just love the good lighting in this room. Isn't it amazing? Here we are No pressure guys, no pressure hit your button. Oh, I'm launching this up I Great job piloting the Millennium Falcon. I like to do my part as like a cheerleader I like to pump up the other crew I gotta take my glasses out because I'm fogging up so bad. It's it's raining right now But I think they did a great job and I did my part like I said, I was like, yeah punch it hit it. Yeah Since it was coming down we decided to just tuck into Toy Story Midway Mania It's only a 15 minute wait, and I don't even think it's 15 minutes. I think it's like a walk on Wow, this legit was a walk-in Wow, are not walking walk on I keep on saying walk in but walk on Yeah, I'm like walking you're gonna go in the walking cooler Competition time I'm gonna show her all the tricks so that she can defeat him next time. That's the plan, right? So he might have won I Got 177 I think he knows he got 183, but I'm gonna say I got 250,000 but he doesn't know that I don't know thank you 250,000 Champion You got to learn the tricks One of the things I just knew I had to get done today is Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway We're gonna go for it 40 minute wait I have all night to be able to ride rise of the resistance models are doing now 45 minutes and the queue was kind of like outside Majority and then I'm pretty sure they're gonna let in a certain amount of guests that way And then you can actually just basically walk on the right from there But we got to sit out in the in the rain for a little bit and actually that didn't even take 45 minutes Thank you Three three for three right here I Least we still get to walk through the screen though to the trains And it also looks like they're doing one group per car. That's kind of cool Love Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway And it was so awesome to be able to ride it with someone who hasn't rode it before And it just kind of like made me happy to see them smile and stuff like that So now I think I'm gonna head to rise of the resistance to use my fast pass Fast pass for rise of the resistance. I like that Do you remember when I was telling you how I planned my day out here at Hollywood Studios? Well the plan initially did not work and then the plan that I made after the plan that also didn't work So now the current plan is kind of working It's kind of crazy how that goes, but this is the life of a vlogger This is what you see what happens in the park things happen And we are back and actually we're closer than we were before Wow, and guess who's with me Adam? I was looking at her mission. We're mission one one and Danny We are one two There is Is the great one Perfect, I like it. I like how they do this On Is the loneliest number oh, it's so awesome to see it like this Usually it's been a little bit busy in here anytime I've ever come but it looks really awesome right now Stay on the blue line Thanks, pal I To find another way down to the escape halls You want to rest to make their conviction Up to what a crazy tournament event at first I thought I was gonna be riding Resistance alone, but instead Adam and Danny Crazy how things happen like that But now let's keep this moving and Possibly see if we can get on slinky dog dash wouldn't that be great? And just when we were about to get on slinky I ran into Taylor She has a YouTube channel On you to remain at Disney. I like it. Oh, it's been forever since I've been on this Hang on accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish today except for Sunset Boulevard I couldn't get over there and just ran out of time the day didn't go the way I planned or thought it would But it was still an amazing day. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it Let's see you next time. Bye You


The standard deviation is a central concept in statistics and in probability. So let's take a closer look at it. So we saw that we have many choices for the center. We can use the median, the mean, or any other measure of center. And we have many ways to measure the deviation. We can use the absolute deviation, the square deviation, or we can be inventive and create another function of the deviation. And once we have those deviations, we have many choices for the representative deviation. We can find the mean or any other measure of center. But people don't like having choices. It's why when you go into a fast food restaurant, you only have one item on the menu, and you only have one type of drink you can order. And in some places, lawmakers are trying to make it easier for people to choose who to vote for by not letting them vote. And where was I? Oh yeah, we were talking about choosing measures of deviation. While we do have a lot of choices, it's actually easier if we all agree on measuring deviation in the same way. And so it's useful to introduce the population standard deviation. Let D be a set of data values for a population. The population standard deviation is the square root of the mean of the squared variations from the mean. So for example, let's find the standard deviation of the set of data values, five, eight, ten, five, and six, and assume that these data values form the population. That's an important distinction that we'll talk about more later. So definitions are the whole of mathematics. All else is commentary, so let's pull in our definition for population standard deviation. So here we want to find the square root of the mean of the squared variations from the mean. So that suggests we need to start out by finding the mean. Next, we want to find the sum of the squared deviations from the mean. So those deviations will be the difference between each data value and the mean, 6.8, and we want to square those values. Then add them to get 18.8 the sum of the squared deviations. Now we'll find the mean of the squared deviations. That's the sum divided by the number one, two, three, four, five data values. And that's our mean squared deviation. And so the population standard deviation is going to be the square root of the mean of the squared variations. So we'll take our square root. And properly speaking, since our data values only have one significant figure, we should round this number to two. Now there's one important change we have to make. For some rather technical reasons, we need to make one modification when dealing with a sample instead of a population. Unfortunately, there's no good way of writing this without introducing some notation. So here it goes. If our set D is a sample drawn from a larger population, the sample standard deviation is still going to be the square root of the sum of the squared deviations, but we're not going to be taking the mean. We'll be dividing by n minus one. And the easiest way of remembering this rather daunting formula is just to remember that the sample standard deviation uses n minus one to compute the mean standard deviation instead of n. So let's say we have our same set, but this time let's assume these data values form a sample from a larger population. While we're still going to find the mean, we're still going to find the sum of the squared deviations from the mean, but this time instead of finding the true mean of these deviations, we'll compute what you can think of as a pseudo mean using five minus one for instead of five, and so that gives us 4.7. And then our sample standard deviation is still going to be the square root of this amount. And again, properly speaking, since our data values only give us one significant figure, we should round the sample standard deviation to one significant figure, so we'll round this off to two.


There's a handful of niches out there that are truly every green that are going to be selling year after year, month after month, week after week, and one of those is guaranteed technology. Technology evolves every single minute. There's always something new coming out. There's a different variation. Back in the day, we had iPods that would come out with more and more storage every single year. Today, we have phones that do that and more with practically unlimited storage at this point. There's always something new that's coming out and people always want the latest tech, no matter what. You have to keep up with the latest technology. Today's video is going to be focused on some of the top electronics items that you should be dropshipping in 2024. These are all items that are proven best sellers and some that are expected to have some massive demand based off of new advances that came out this year in 2023.  You want to be the first one to start offering these, so make sure you check out this entire video and make sure you get the cheat sheet. In that cheat sheet, I'm going to have all of the different products I'm talking about, including the different links. And if you want access to that, all you have to do is go ahead and leave a comment down below with the hashtag top tech 2024. And let me know what your favorite item is from this list. Once I see that you went ahead and did that, I'll go ahead and reply back with a link to the sheet. In total, we are going to have over 15 different suggestions for you to start dropshipping. Now this is going to include our main items along with different variations. These are all items that are in high demand this year and people are going to be searching for left and right. This is all based on past advancements that were made last year in 2023. And trust me when I say whenever there's any slight update to any piece of tech people want it. I'm looking at all of you iPhone users. All right, so the first item on our list is a kids drawing tablet. I know there's tons of people out there. There's a lot of parents that are like, I'm not going to give my kids a tablet. They're not going to have an iPad, blah, blah, blah. But then the time comes and they realize that they actually need one because those kids would not shut up. I might have been one of those parents at one point, but that's beside the point. So kids drawing tablet is a perfect gift for any parent or any kid. You remember back in the day, we used to have those little magnetic ones that had the two knobs, you know, like the one that they had in Toy Story. Well, this is kind of like the same thing, except it's digital and it allows the kids to have creative freedom over pretty much everything on there. So these are of course reusable and they come in quite a few different sizes. So they have a few that come in about eight and a half inches. Some are smaller, some are about the size of a phone. But at the end of the day, they all have a stylus and a screen. So that way the kids can stay entertained drawing throughout the entire day. Now, as far as a power supply, some of these are going to be using a battery and some of these are going to be charged through USB. But don't worry, because these have extremely low power consumption, which means the batteries are going to last for days, weeks, if not even longer. Like look at this one right here. This one actually runs on one of those watch batteries and it lasts the entire year. So these are not going to have any downtime when it comes to your kids fun. Next up, we have a portable wireless tire inflator. Now this is one of those items that has evolved over time back maybe five or six years ago. They weren't this efficient and this sophisticated back then it would be a little brick that I'm pretty sure my parents still have. But it was this little brick that you would have to plug into your car's cigarette lighter and then connect a little tube to your tire and then turn it on so that way you can start inflating the tire. Now those were extremely slow. They would take forever. On top of that, they will make a ton of noise. Nowadays, they have more sophisticated and more advanced versions that for one are completely wireless.  And three are a lot faster than they used to be. So if you know somebody that's still using those super old school breaks when it comes to the tire inflators, this might be the perfect gift for them or that could be the way that you market it.  They check it out. They're like, oh, this is pretty interesting. It's not going to work as good as the one that I have now. Then you show them using it, they're loving it and then it ends with, well, this is a lot faster than the old one or something like that. You'd be creative with it. But that's just a quick idea on how you can market it. Now before we continue any further, if you're wondering where you can find more top trending best selling products, then look no further than AutoDS. On AutoDS, we don't only provide automation.  It's all done automatically. But aside from that, we also have our marketplace and our winning products hub. There's tons of resources on the AutoDS platform that can set you up for success. But for now, check out the marketplace. So right now we're talking about technology. So let's click on electronics and gadgets. And let's see some of the different products that pop up. So as soon as we change our category, you can see that there's quite a few different items. I'm pretty sure you've seen a lot of these on TikTok, one of the most popular places to advertise your dropshipping store, not just most popular, also most effective. But aside from that, you can see that there's tons of different items on here that some people on TikTok haven't even heard of. So look at this little popcorn maker machine. Pretty sure you get this, you make a video in your room in the dark while you're watching a movie, bust out this popcorn machine, make a little video, put it on TikTok, boom, that's going to go viral. And boom, you have the potential right there to go viral and sell a ton of these different units, which actually, you know what, I might end up doing that myself. Don't take my idea, guys, it's mine. Make your own variation. I'm going to do one like that. But aside from that, you can see that there's a bunch of other items. So you can see you can find the blenders on here, you can find gaming mats, RGB lights, headphones, earphones, chargers, anything you can think of, you can find on here, you're going to find some pretty unique items on here as well. Now, if you want to import some of these to your store, that's also a breeze. All you have to do is click on import draft, choose a store that you want to import it to, and that's it. It'll be ready to sell in your store within minutes. This next item is one that is sometimes the same year after year with a few minor differences. And no, I'm not talking about the iPhone, that is literally just the same thing year after year. Team Android for the win. But no, what I'm talking about are earphones. Now, when it comes to earphones, really the biggest difference that you're going to find from each set is going to be the battery life and the size. As far as the features, honestly, at the end of the day, most of them are going to be the same thing, aside, of course, from the audio quality. But when you're looking for different earphones to sell, these are a few things that you should keep in mind. For one, look for headphones or earphones that stand out, also always keep in mind the difference. When it comes to earphones, typically, these are going to be the ones that fit inside your ear. And when it comes to headphones, those are going to be the ones that go over your ear. So always keep those two differences in mind. Some people might use them interchangeably. I sometimes do the same thing. But remember earphones in ear headphones on your head, when it comes to selling different earphones, one of the biggest differences that you can offer is going to be in the casing. So sometimes you can find a case like this one right here, which actually shows the battery life on the case itself. Now, this is something that's really cool and it's really useful because it shows a visual representation of how much longer the user can use their earphones for. Now, if you look at one like this, you don't have that option. You don't know how much longer you have when it comes to battery life. You don't know pretty much anything. You just know that if it doesn't work, then it's either not connecting or the battery is dead. So always try to offer something like this, always try to offer something with a little bit of extra pizzazz, if that works. Another thing that you need to keep in mind when it comes to earphones is that that's actually a pretty competitive market. There's a lot of people selling these. So you're going to have to go around and you're going to have to look through different suppliers to see who can give you the best pricing. If you can't find a supplier that gives you better pricing than all of the rest that you find out there, try to come up with a better bundle, try to come up with a better offer. Offer your customers something more than what your competitors are offering. So maybe you can offer a set of earphones and you can throw in an extra charging cable or a wall plug, something along those lines, something small like that can really go a long way. Now, next up, we have another one that evolves year after year. And a lot of the times we kind of the same thing, but the next time on our list is definitely one that is always making a boom, so to say. This is one that people are always purchasing. And no matter what, people are always buying them year after year, even if they already have one. And we're talking about speakers. Now, when it comes to speakers, there's a lot of different options to choose from. You have your typical Bluetooth speakers. So you can listen to music at the beach or at the pool or at home. You have waterproof speakers that are specific for wet areas, again, like the beach or pool, which in this case, it really doesn't matter if they get splashed on because they're waterproof. But you also have a few other more sophisticated variations such as in-ceiling speakers, which are speakers that go built into your roof or to your ceiling so that way they sit flush on your ceiling. So you could barely see them at all. Those are actually my favorite. I think those are fantastic. Those can even be connected to something like a surround sound system. On top of that, you also have bookshelf speakers. So these are going to be the typical speakers that you have on a bookshelf or on top of a stand or in a media center, something that people typically connect to, to simply play some music. And you also have sound bars. So TV sound bars, of course, are external speakers for your TV that make it sound a lot better. Now, when it comes to this, there's even more variations. So you have things like two channels, five channels, some with a subwoofer. There's a lot of different variations when it comes to different types of speakers. So if you want to sell speakers, try to niche down, see which types of speakers are going to work best for your business and which ones work better for your brand or your store. Are you going to be selling home goods? If you're selling home goods, you can sell things like the bookshelf speakers and the surround sound speakers or the sound bar. If you're selling more electronic goods, like let's say computer parts and stuff like that, then you can also offer computer speakers, headphones or earphones or the bookshelf speakers. Now, the next item on this list is going to be one of my favorites. And that is drones. I absolutely love drones. I think they're the coolest thing in the world. Now, these are extremely popular because a lot of people are actually starting to use them to start up their own businesses. Of course, there are also hobbyists and kids that love to play with these. So there's a wide spectrum of uses when it comes to drones. You can have some that are smaller and a bit more agile. Some people like to use them for tricks or even competitive drone racing. People also like to use these to film different videos. They like to film really cool landscapes, going through different pathways really fast, slowly moving through a scenic route like let's say mountains or the beach or something like that to show off the view. There's a lot of different uses when it comes to drones. So they can be used for business. They can be used for fun. Some are going to have some higher quality cameras. Some are going to be bigger. Some are going to be smaller. So my suggestion to you when offering drones is to offer a little bit of every type of size. The smaller ones are going to have less better cameras for the most part, but these are going to be used more for action sports or to have fun with, to do tricks with. A lot of people aren't going to care as much if these crash into a wall or a tree or something like that. Then you also have the more expensive drones or the bigger drones, which are going to have the heavier cameras. A lot of the time these cameras are going to be either 1080p or 4k. Most of the times, a lot of people use these for those nice little scenic videos of different mountains, different views, or for photography, such as wedding photography, landscape photography, or even real estate photography. Now when it comes to drones, you do want to be careful with a few different things. For one, you want to make sure that they're legal wherever you're selling them. There are some countries out there that do not allow drones. Some will even arrest you for flying one, but if you're selling in the US, you're not really going to have a problem selling the drones. Another thing about drones is the fact that they're actually pretty high ticket items. You can get them for pretty cheap on a website like AliExpress. Look at this one right here. It's selling for $17.36. Of course, this is the welcome deal. You could get it for $67, but at the end of the day, something like this can actually be sold for a pretty high price, over $200 sometimes. All right, so this next one is going to be one that is absolutely huge. And in 2023 and in 2024, it's absolutely exploding. The technology behind this is something that's constantly advancing, and it's just going to keep getting bigger and more sophisticated. And I'm talking about wearable tech. Now, what is wearable tech? Well, simply put, it's technology that you can wear. Of course, in this, we can include headphones and earphones, but we gave those its own section because that in itself is a huge niche. That's something that's huge and people are going to be selling specifically. So when it comes to wearable tech, what I'm referring to is things like smart watches. So when it comes to smart watches, you have a lot of different variations. You have some that are going to connect to your phone. And then you're also going to have a few others that are simply going to be just fitness trackers or some that are just going to connect to your phone. And that's pretty much it. These are going to come in different levels of technology. Some are going to be more advanced than others. Of course, the ones with more features are going to be more expensive, but you can always charge more for those as well. Another huge item when it comes to wearable tech is VR headsets. Now, of course, one of the more mainstream VR headsets has to be the Quest by Meta. But those are extremely expensive. So we're looking for something a little bit cheaper and that's not copyright. So if you look on AliExpress, you can find quite a few different types of headsets. These are all compatible with different gadgets. Some of these are going to be compatible with, let's say, a Nintendo Switch, but for the most part, the ones that you're going to be looking through here are going to be compatible with phones. And by far, one of the craziest pieces of tech that have been coming to light lately have to be smart glasses. A few years ago, there was this huge thing about Google Glasses that never came out. Then Meta came out with their own glasses. And Snapchat also came out with their own glasses. And these are really, really cool. But there's also a lot of different other versions that you can find on AliExpress, CJ Dropshipping, DHgate, wherever it is that you're sourcing your products from. So they have different types of smart glasses. Some of these are going to be able to play music. Some of them are going to be able to record. Some of them, such as this one, actually have a heads up display. So as you can see, there's tons of different variations when it comes to this. And honestly, when it comes to smart glasses, this is a technology that's just getting started. So there's going to be a lot more advances going forward. But if you want to catch the wave early, then you can start checking them out right now. Now, the next item on this list is for all of those content creators out there. And that is microphones. Now, when it comes to microphones, there's no shortage. But there are different variations. A few of them have different features. Some of them have better sound quality. Some of them are a little bit more mobile. Microphones are an extremely important and crucial part to any content creators. Well, content. If you don't have good audio, then people are going to tune off pretty quick. Check out the difference between this and this. Can you tell the difference right now? Can you tell the difference in audio quality from the first cut to this one right here? Well, the first one was obviously with my microphone. The second one is using the microphone directly on the camera. As you can hear, there is a huge difference between the two. And that's why a lot of people choose to purchase an external microphone, whether that be for a professional camera like an SLR, a mirrorless blogging camera, or even your smartphone. There's a microphone for every single device out there. So when it comes to microphones, there's going to be a few different connections when it comes to the different variations. So you're going to have some like these that connect using a typical headphone jack, except these sometimes are a little bit smaller for microphones. Others are going to work for your phone with USB-C or through Bluetooth. And some others are going to work with a regular USB cable. There's also going to be different microphones for different occasions or for different recording styles. So some are going to be better to talk in a studio or in a room like I'm doing right now. Typically speaking, those are going to be some that are like this. They're going to be the standalone ones, some that you can put on a little boom. And you also have a few other ones that are like these, which are going to go on top of a camera. And for smartphones, some of the more popular ones are going to be one like the one that I have on my screen right now. So the bottom part connects to the bottom of your phone, whether that be an iPhone or an Android. And then it has a tiny little wireless microphone that you can either hold or you can just clip on to your shirt. And last but not least, the last category that we're going to talk about is going to be home security. Nowadays, crime is more rampant than ever. So you always want to make sure that your house is safe and secure. And when you're not there, you want to make sure that it's guarded. So if the unthinkable happens and somebody decides to break into your house, then you always have some sort of proof to know what happened, what's going on. And so you can call the cops. So because of that, home security is a huge player in technology right now. And honestly, it's going to be a huge player in the decades to come. One of the most popular and most useful items has to be a video doorbell. We all know about ring from Amazon, but there's a lot more variations out there that are going to be one cheaper and two even more efficient. Aside from that, there's also different camera attachments that you can purchase for these different video doorbells. So you can have one video doorbell as the center hub, and then you can have a few different cameras around your house that all connect to the same system or to the same app. And those were some of the most popular technology items that you need to be dropshipping this year in 2024. Look, it's still early. You still have a lot of time to get in the game. These items not only are extremely popular throughout the year, but when it comes to the holidays, then you better believe that these are going to be in some pretty high demand. So you want to make sure that your store is ready and you've already made a few sales so you can have some reviews as social proof. Now remember, if you want access to a cheat sheet with all of the different items that I talked about in today's video, all you have to do is go ahead and comment down below. Hashtag top tech 2024. And let me know which one of these items was your favorite. Personally, my favorite has to be the speakers because I absolutely love sound quality. I love audio and specifying a little bit further.
