Everyone, Hazel Chapman, the host of the Tiger Technician Hour and the author of the opening call Daily Newsletter. We're looking at the Dow of 21 at 27,714 just missed by, let's see, by five points, four points, making a new all-time high. Look, this is going to be very important. You see, I drew the little rectangle in here. That's to say that within this price movement, based on some of the techniques that I use, based on the Chapwave notation, as well as the on-balance volume in this particular instance, because it's the only one that's saying, this is a reading that says at these particular levels, the blue line that you can see right on the left is the dating chart of the Dow. It's suggesting that we're getting into an area where there's a lot of upside resistance about to come in the Dow, and that the on-balance volume at this level is very close to some kind of a pullback. That doesn't mean to say that the price has to have a huge move down. It just means that there's a lot of resistance. This all falls away completely if there's a snap right through. And the next thing you notice, the Dow is trading at 27,950, about to test at 28,000 level. It's possible because we've got news coming up, I don't know what, right now, there should be some, isn't it somewhere around now that there's going to be trade talks in this speech about to be given? I think that's what I heard. So that's the Dow. The weekly chart is broken out. I feel very strongly that this is a leg B in the Dow weekly chart, and this absolutely is a leg D in the monthly chart in the Chapwave. We're always looking for Ds to say, all right, be careful because this is where other things can happen. It doesn't have to, but this is where you're on the lookout.  In the S&P, this did make an all-time high. This is now a leg E. There could be other notations. I've got this as a leg E right now from this area at a leg E. You've got to be a little bit careful because this is where you can expect some kind of opportunity to turn around. It starts at this particular level, but the mag D is only, look, the histogram is just slightly decreasing. That's the distance between the green line and the red line, faster moving average and slow moving average. It's called the nine-period differential. I'll be having a webinar a week from tonight, five o'clock to 6.30 for subscribers. You can become a subscriber. We've had some really nice calls, really nice action in stocks that we've pecked. I had a question when I go through some, if it's okay, that's because, obviously, I don't want to give brand new things that have just been put out, that are doing well because it's not fair on subscribers. Anyway, I'll talk about that. Meantime, this is an all-time high, 3102.61. And that says it's leg C in the weekly chart is extending and only leg B in the monthly. That's really positive. But it doesn't mean to say you can't have very sharp pullbacks. Look, look at that peak A from 3027 down to 2822. Hey, that's a big move. So, within that perspective, I'm saying to subscribers, let's be a little bit cautious, but that hasn't stopped us from having only long positions in stocks, but we have implemented some short positions in indexes. The QQQ, and so the support now for the S&P trading at 3,095, if there's any, turned down by Wednesday or Thursday. 3,075, where we worked just yesterday, is one support level, but 3,061 is the 40-period exponential moving average. The price would have to go a lot lower to get this green line to go underneath the black line. That's the 9-period moving average going under the 14-period moving average. So, at this point, I'm saying sideways to choppy, probably with lower highs and lower lows, is the way that we would consolidate if that's going to occur. But if there's any sense of optimism based on the, whatever's discussed today in the trade talks, obviously this market is nervous enough to latch on to it and just zoom to the upside. I'm just doing this as just normal exhale and inhale action in markets that takes place. And we'll see if there's another one of those. Would this be exhale? This would be an exhale. This would be an inhale. So, right now the QQ is 202.21 all-time high, trading at 201.86, just slightly lower. Magnees goes to Casagiz at 92%. That's really good. On-balance volume is bumping up against resistance.  Okay, we're looking at the weekly chart. E slash C, I'm pretty sure this is a C. I'm going to put an up arrow right here to say that's where I'm looking at it. And monthly chart is a leg C. Looking very good. So I am anticipating a shorter term consolidation within the aspect that the larger trends are still pointing higher. I know the MS fairly here. It's only up 35 cents at 159.13. The high is 159.88. But we have had 160.46 as the recovery high. I've got this as a leg F. If it goes higher, I'm not sure I'll call that a G. I think I'll probably call that a C and say that it could still make a D. So the day's absolutely young. Anything can happen. News is absolutely relevant now. It can impact markets either way. We're just going to watch this very closely. Gold pulled back a little bit. It's down 4.4 at 1452. This is breaking the rectangle formation in the weekly chart. That's a dreaded H. It took out the left side low. Not a good sign. This peak C in the month, he says, okay, you might test the 1433 level. That's the nine period exponential. Moving average support. And let's see if Silver's doing the same thing. Silver is down 1.1 at 16.69. It's also taking out that left side low in the arch formation in the... Let me just draw it in so you know. I'm going to be talking about these patterns and how they work and why they work in my webinar coming up week from tonight. Go to the front page of TFNN and you'll see it there. That is for subscribers to an opening call newsletter. And I'll explain exactly what happens in a low case. H, what happens if you take out the left side low, what you're looking for, how it can save itself and how it won't save itself. The manganese stochastic are very weak in Silver. So that's saying it's going to have a tough time breaking back into the 17s at this particular point at 16.7. Let's go to the... I'd like to just quickly do a high grade copper. High grade copper is pulling back off the peak E. Just stuck in a range. I'd like to look at Crudor. And we'll get to the dollar because I'll do that with the currencies. The dollar is... Sorry, Crudor. It's close to the 200 period exponential moving average. Not really going anywhere. It's just stuck in a range. Now we'll look at the dollar DXY. The dollar is actually acting quite nicely here. It is to our leg C and it's at 98.30. And we'll talk about the euro and the yen. As soon as we get back, Basil Chapman does up 44. He'll be right back. Tiger Technicians are on his way 877-97648.

Toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Hi everyone we're back and Tiger technicians are Dow's up 31, S&P's up 8. So this is going to be very important. You see the dollars had a very nice rally. Yeah it's a nice rally but when you think of the 99.67 all-time high sorry four or five year high in the dollar on the 1st of October down to the low that was made exactly a month later on the 1st of September. We're not quite 50% yet of that move and it's already in C. I prefer to CC way up here so that when you get D D goes even beyond the high that was made on the 1st of October. Ah this says to me you might stall I don't mind stalling at this point I must say because I've been expecting a consolidation the dollar we've had by signal since April of 2018 90 was the price it went to almost a hundred $10 in a 10% it's over a little over 10% 11.5% in a currency over a period of time that's really something but then we had a big pullback and that was a weekly month a weekly sell mode and that just said to me be careful but look at the nine look how important I made this nice and thick especially for instructive and educational demonstration. You see this black line here this is the 14 period exponential moving average I made it thick in all time frames why I think it's just so important the nine period is very important and so is the 14 everybody has their favorite moving averages everybody has either simple or exponential D whatever it is stick with what you use because you'll find that it gives you the parameters that you're comfortable with you have great knowledge you've had experience with them it doesn't matter I happen to like this because look at the way this particular moving average the exponential with the weighting on the last close look how nicely it's held in all these different time frames I love this one because it's just a nice springboard and the nine period moving averages says if you push away from the 14 above or push below that nine EMA is like your this is like your trampoline catch or we can call it this is your safety margin and this is the one that says wow this is pushed you to the outer bounds of your your elastic band limit and now if you hold it you should spring back that's kind of what it's done here in the monthly chart I still like it longer term I think the dollar is I call it the Harley Davidson of America in terms of currencies around the world it is the icon because our economy is just so good that this is the reason why I like the dollar yes you can have a consolidation we've already had one of the longer consolidations in time not the longest but one of the long ones and we'll see what happens after this I do like it so let's go to the EUR USD which is the euro the euro dollar currency pair see that made a PD why is D so important that's where other things can happen so just underneath the 200-period moving average it can't twice it tries to get there and fails so then it gives you this double top the U-shaped formation I'll talk about this called the Chapman wave drop bucket pattern drop bucket pattern it's like a backhoe the arm lifts up it's got the bucket and it can't push higher opens up and all the gravel and stuff falls out of it a little bit of literal and here it is so the euro is pulled back and this says that weekly chart is back to looking lousy in the monthly chart there's another word for it but let's just say it's more than lousy and if you look at the USDJPY which sometimes moves in the same direction not the same percentage the same direction as the dollar has gone to a PE above the 200-period moving average but it really is struggling at this particular line it's trading at 109.07 up 0.02 look here you are there's this line and the daily 200-period moving average it goes it's like a yoyo goes up goes down it's just gyrating using this as a fulcrum so it's up against it should go slightly higher it should test the weekly 109.49 level and go a little above that maybe touch 110 and then maybe it can rest we'll see but so far it's doing very nicely and I have to put an up arrow in why because it's at 85% and over 85% usually I've gone from a buy signal to a buy mode in the Chapman methodology all of these things we'll discuss in my in my weekly in my webinar coming up next week Tuesday the 19th a week from today so we did that did that did that now let's go to the TLT the TLT try to have a little bit of a balance wow it's up to 36 cents at 135 36 and in fact it's come down from the 148.9 level in August to the 136 level in September bounces all the way to 146 now it comes tumbling down to the 134s, 135s it looks to me as this dreaded H and this weekly chart has already once closed underneath the left side 136.54 low this is going to be tough this says to me the bonds could go a little lower yields could go a little higher now normally I'd be saying if the market is going to be soft here if it's going to be pulling back you should see money come out of the volatility of stocks going to the so called safety of bonds so how this 134 level is going to be treated in other words does money come in to push it back into the 137s get back above the H pattern as the magnate in the weekly stochastic turn up that's going to be tough to do it's going to take time so all I can say is we're going one step at a time let's see a question I had about the NY A.X that's the New York Stock Exchange also I'm high 13600 in January of 2018 Cascades down to 107.23 this is the lightning pattern A to B equals and then you're ready to see and then C to D is even bigger in this case than the A to B but in the Chapman methodology it went down to trough seat at 10 107.23 and now it's gone to the high of just four days ago it's showing right now 13395 just under the peak D in the daily I'm calling this a leg B in the monthly this in the weekly chart this is very good in the month he's in leg C so all of the indices say looking out into 2020 we should make higher highs and probably in January based on the monthly charts January or February earlier in 2020 okay now I just wanted to show you this quickly well it doesn't have to be quicker in a rush do I have any questions here nothing yet that's okay so in the 5 minute Chapman methodology of the e-mini chart this is the e-mini futures you take your trough that was made at about 8 30 this morning that's 845 at 3086 25 runs all the way to a peak E at 3102 00 all-time high and then comes down and it goes it's in leg C to the downside left side right side price time match took out the support if it takes out 30.92 support this 200 moving average of 3090 is going to be next now what's really important about this phase okay now I can answer some of the questions some of the questions coming in is we've got a break coming up oh I had I had drops in my eye to get the ice check this morning I didn't think it would last this long he fuzzy but it is but thank goodness I'm better than 2020 I'm not going to wear glasses but not all the time and but I can't see some of these numbers I'll read the emails a little closer up in the break Basil Chapman time conditions hour God's up 20 S&P's up 7 we'll be right back Basil Chapman has just announced a live 90 minute webinar he'll be conducting for subscribers to his daily

I'm Scott Jenner on the front page of TFNN.com Everyone down's up 24 and we're going to go straight to Scott in Safety Harbor Hi Scott, how are you? Ah, Scott you there? Maybe you're listening with a little delay there Um No, I'm not sure Okay, Scott wanted to look at M I also want to look at M because I looked at it a little closer we discussed it yesterday Scott if you're there just shout out I'm here but at any time M is Macy's Macy's had a high just a year ago in the 40s and it traded just a month or so ago in the 14s now it's trading at let's see 16.22 up 17 cents what's really important about this is I looked at it we discussed it yesterday when I was on with Tommy Jr. at 10 o'clock and we were looking we're talking about the fundamental part of it I took a closer look and I thought you know what Macy's will get the very big test coming up over the next two months going to the end of the year with the shopping etc and the reason why I say that is because yes there is a ton of online shopping just an absolute I mean that is the medium that's used predominantly I'm not sure that I can say what percentage but it is very big at the same time Macy's and I haven't been for a while if they've kept up their standard and it used to be good it got a little sloppy and then the ones near us around here the one in Chestnut Hill disappeared it's in Newton, Massachusetts and the one in Framing's there are a couple of them so I just haven't been but the last time I went in it looked like the quality improved but it looked very cluttered because I think it was round about the holiday season so within that context I think it's worth looking at Macy's as a longer term it's either going to be saved by this season because it starts to trade because things are going well and it starts to trade in the 18s to the 19s and holds there and treats that as the new base rather than the 16s and 15s I can just tell you that if Macy's starts trading the 13s in this season going in November, December I don't know what they're going to do next year so I just wonder why we spoke about it fundamentally I looked at it I said it's in a rectangle formation so I don't hear Scott at all do I get any messages do I see yes I do so I don't know Scott's there but I just wanted to mention that it's worth looking at some of these now the JWN is Nordstrom Nordstrom is a much better chart formation compared with Macy's but look it too was up in the 65-66 area just 6 months or so a year ago and then it plunges down to the 25s and it's trading right now at 37 so it's had a much nicer rally but even there and they have a much better quality but they haven't been able to survive and I think if you look at it and you put it into the category of is it fair to go to a general retailer like a Walmart these are parallel companies sales Walmart has everything but they've the right thing look the all-time highs at 119 right now 120-21 was the all-time high look at Target also it's not fair to really compare because it's a different type of company closer to all-time highs than the most recent oh no it's getting yeah but it is at 109 right now as close to the 115 all-time high so there's a difference and I just wanted to mention because I did go through them last night I wanted to just follow up that I just wasn't talking I wanted to be talking apples to apples and apples to oranges and I think apples to apples is more Nordstrom and Macy's than it is something like a Target or Walmart there's a general contractor they have everything okay so I don't hear anything so maybe he wasn't able to hold on and meantime back at the ranch I do want to look at a couple of things here that I think are quite important the XLE I had a question yesterday about the XLE and my answer was it was a text from the den and my answer was that I don't see anything yet and that long-term spider monthly chart of the XLE shows you how important this what would you say is it's about I could hold it up now but I can't get to it and I can't read it because it'll be too, the fine print will be too small I would say there's about an 8 to 11 percent incline that's going on from the low that was made way back in 2009 at 37.40 and this is the XLE and then it's in magnificence look at this I'll talk about this in my webinar coming up on next Tuesday night about channels and what you do and how you can divide even the channel can be divided it doesn't have to be exactly in half you find the most important middle ground and then look this is the middle ground that I'm choosing right now I'm actually going to raise it just a little bit because my eye says there needs to be more there and that middle ground says that it's failed all the way from 2016 the rally from 2015 2016 all the way to the resistance levels up against this trend line has been just with voracious appetite for selling every time it gets there and now look the bounces have been able to hold since telling you that there has to be select energy fund spider ETF at 60.32 wow it it mustn't get back into the 55 area because that's going to be very poor action so this is a very next market very selective and what I've done for subscribers should I do this I really don't like to do it it's just I'm not superstitious but it does kind of puts you out there I guess I was asked about it I'll do it so what do we have we've had different things we've taken profits short-term profits and some the last two cyber is one cyber arc I've liked that a lot we got in at 104 then the earnings came out I said just be careful if it pulls back we had 101 stock if you're thinking that you don't want to sit through the earnings you can lighten up a little bit but we had no choice we stayed in it it ran all the way to 190.99 how it missed 120 round number high by opinion I don't know on the 6th of November the next day spectacular and one day and then it pulled back the next day much sharper so we took a little bit off at the open on the day after the spike at 116 just over 116 very nice gain for a day then we took a little bit off because I had a very ugly session the day of the 7th that was that was allows it to fill the gap and I thought oh filling the gap straight off it's not good so we took just a little bit off and now it's rallying very nicely so for new subscribers maybe or people who didn't get in what do you do now hold tight I love the fact that cyber arc the Israeli network security software company had 148.74 high in July of last year plumbers to 94 that's a real plum of 50% wow that's about a 48% decline and now it's rallying I think it's back in play but I need more evidence to really find on here I don't want to do that just yet and we've got a position very nice we've taken nice profits I'm just being a little careful so I just wanted to explain the type of thing we do we've got a stock report this morning almost at the low and it's up 2.5% from where we bought it that's nice it gives us a little cushion that's the main thing I'll be right back brother Jeff in type of positions we're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you the security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida the tax act of 2018 set up tax free zones across the

watch Tiger TV for the latest market information You asked about the financials XLF is trading right now it's up a little it's up four cents at 2980 so this is a little extended both in technicals and in the mag D which is still very strong stochastic said 89% very good on balance volume sort of flapping out that weekly chart I love the breakout I have to call this a new leg B I don't think this is an E slash B I think this is new and that's a leg C in the monthly chart the reason why I say that I think that I have no choice but to call it a B in the weekly is that the mag D is very strong getting a little topic here and says that upside at this point might be a little limited but it says that the downside has really good support maybe a point point and a half from where we are right now stochastic says that 94% it's going to take a lot more than one and a half points it'll take more than two and a half points to get that stochastic back down under 78% or 80% maybe a point and a half so and then and the monthly chart is just now of course the month is still got a whole chunk of weeks to go but we're looking at the mag D just finally turning up crossing positive so that's a good sign and yeah the question was what about what about JP Morgan hey JP Morgan this is Jamie Diamond doesn't I think so Diamond has gone E F G G slash C and let me just double check I don't want to say anything out of turn here is that let me just see if I can read that 125 16 125 15 yep that was a peak the peak D almost a chapwave instant reset oh I've got something to talk about I'll talk about in a moment this says that there could be an instant restart or chapwave unconventional flat base restart so that's a B and then we get G slash C G slash C see even there you might just make a normal new high D but then I think that JP Morgan is I take a little bit of a breather and I see that in many of the hours now Goldman Sachs has not done very well so this is E this is E in the month in the weekly chart that's different to the others but it is E and it's a D slash B in the monthly chart everything is really good the financials have done really well what happens in the TLT from here is going to be very important for them so what we're looking at in terms of JP Morgan is that it's been a leader let's look at Goldman Sachs which is not being a leader they've had a lot of problems coming up look it's gone to a leg D finally in the monthly chart but ages ago I said if I see Goldman Sachs trading the 222 to 225 area I think that'll be a very important breakout and we haven't got there yet we did get to sorry we got there but we haven't held we went to 225 three or four days ago calling this an F for now I want to see a trading there and if it does that I think it's telling us about the financials something very good because on the one hand you've got JP Morgan which is heavy into the whole financial area of the IPOs it's just the whole technical side of banking you've got Goldman Sachs which used to be there and has had a tremendous lot of problems and also it used to be the trader I mean they had years where they had just days of negative action all the rest were positive let me just drink a and the other thing is the Bank of America which would be in long on and off but we've had a core position since December 24 is at 33 right now it's I still think that that whole area of their Merrill Lynch which they call Merrill now I think that's going to be really important zero percent fees or what not doesn't matter because they're going to get the bulk of their clients bigger how can I put this the basket of goods that their that their clients have is going to be more and more it'll be leaning towards the Merrill side of it so that they can start when the market really gets going we're up in the 28 500 29 300 in the Dow they can start talking to their clients like all the others and say hey you you're in very conservative don't you want to go over to and then every day you'll see more and more an increase in the investors conservative portfolio going to the speculative side that's where the money is going to be made so we'll see okay this is my speculation question had about the IYT yes the IYT it's important it's still not hasn't broken that major trend line resistance level in the monthly chart it I shouldn't say hasn't broken it hasn't closed decisively above it and that's exactly where we are right now in the 197 to 202 area if we can get to 205 I'll finally say you know what the transports are participating so far they're active they better but they're not doing all that well and yes the question came up about the XL XL I've not updated this this is a C this is a D that's a new A B C and I go into a D instant restart goes to another D that's the beauty I'll be teaching this I can't spend too much time on it but I will introduce it and then maybe maybe even in December I have a couple of classes on specific techniques I think that's going to be the biggest I've been trying to think how I can help subscribers best of all and I think I want to get back to just showing the techniques how they work etc so this has actually all down to $1.29 today $109.45 the ARCA airline index trading very nicely over the last few months since the I think there was August low just under 90 and now it's gone to 100 so 109 right now having it what I said was 111 something 112.15 just four days ago so okay now I can get to something that I want you to talk about I'm not getting an answer there maybe I misread it maybe my eyes are still glossy from the drops that I have in the dilatio and the driving home was not bad today because it was cloudy it was sunny it would have been new difficult uh dark losses would have been very important okay what we're looking at here is I wanted to do a couple of things and I thought oh I won't be able to read it can I read it let's see if I can if I can't I'll have to do it tomorrow uh no it's a little bit too fuzzy I want you to a whole bunch of investors business daily at least the top 15 to show you where I think we are and the reason why the a consolidation right here would be fine but very specifically we've got some I've been trying to find under the radar stocks they have been working quite nicely some have been working very nicely um and some have had we've had profits and I've been taken out because I've been treating them as trades more than positions others I want to hopefully have started a position that's more an intermediate term position I mean I like it's just fun to have something that you're holding for months because every time there's a major sell-off you're in a such a nice low position you can say big deal I my target is much higher I have all the time in the world so let's just deal with that now I want to do a couple of things as we're about to before we go to the next break let me explain what I'm looking at you and why I'm looking at it and this is the stuff I'm going to be doing next week Tuesday night and my webinar for subscribers can become a subscriber hey it's free because you pay for a month if anything you don't like you get your money back I didn't say it's free but it could be free but you would get the webinar plus all my other webinars that I have there posted listed you're able to go through that

quickly let me show you something here remember i talk about these moving averages remember we had the cell uh basing the bad news cloud cover i don't know if we've got another one here i did draw in the rectangle we've taken and we've implemented some kind of plan for this uh so i'll talk about it more tomorrow but i have a question here uh both the question that went to my engineer and one that was sent to me that i just saw on ab and it's called alliance actually can't see the title alliance something other uh alliance something other alliance uh here we go ab okay so meantime while i'm looking for this actual name of the uh congarit of course i'm working all right so ab is the symbol one of the things i like to look at what strikes you immediately sometimes you can you can go crazy just analyzing just look at this it says it's in a trading band and you're in it you've been in for a while it's a 29 54 ab right now 29 54 i think you've been in since way way earlier i'm looking at this and i'm suggesting to you that if you're in it it's holding very nicely it's in an area that's found support but every time it gets to a certain level it has resistance well i'm going to say to you alan there's hold this for now tomorrow i'll do some work over tonight and i'll i'll do it more tomorrow you're in it holding quite nicely right now at this point on a very short term basis that 28th is really important support but i think it's a stuck in a range for now good session today let's talk about it tomorrow i will do some work on it i don't want to just you know talk off of the top of my head but look at the patterns you see this v shape pattern so far it's acting well it's making a left side right side price time match it has time but it needs to break above 29 86 it needs to get into the it has to touch 30 and it has to do with another i would say another three to five sessions without breaking 29 20 support so far it's good stay with it we'll do more on it tomorrow and as we're about to wrap up don't forget you've got steve rose coming up you've got day right you've got tumble right i'll be back with tom a little later this afternoon don't forget my webinar coming up on tuesday the 19th five o'clock to 6 30 eastern time for subscribers you can become a subscriber you've got some very nice and low price stocks as well for those of you don't want to put too much money to work here and they've been working very nicely hope to see you tomorrow otherwise i'll see you with comments after you and have a great day


Hi friends, I am Purva and today we will work out the following question. Find the angle between the following pairs of lines.  Now if theta is the acute angle between the following pairs of lines, that is vector r is equal to vector a1 plus lambda into vector b1 and vector r is equal to vector a2 plus mu into vector b2. Then cos theta is given by cos theta is equal to mod of vector b1 dot vector b2 upon mod of vector b1 into mod of vector b2. So this is the key idea behind our question. Let us begin with the solution now.  Now by comparing these two equations with these two equations in the key idea we can clearly see that here vector b1 is equal to i cap minus j cap minus 2k cap and vector b2 is equal to 3i cap minus 5j cap minus 4k cap. Now vector b1 dot vector b2 is equal to vector b1 is equal to i cap minus j cap minus 2k cap dot vector b2 is equal to 3i cap minus 5j cap minus 4k cap and this is equal to now 1 into 3 is 3 and i cap dot i cap is equal to 1 we know that minus 1 into minus 5 is plus 5 again j cap dot j cap is equal to 1 and minus 2 into minus 4 is plus 8 again k cap dot k cap is equal to 1. So we get this is equal to 16. Now mod of vector b1 is equal to under root of 1 square plus minus 1 whole square plus minus 2 whole square and this is equal to under root of 1 plus 1 plus 4 which is equal to under root 6 and mod of vector b2 is equal to under root of 3 square plus minus 5 whole square plus minus 4 whole square and this is equal to under root of 9 plus 25 plus 16 and this is equal to under root 50. So mod of vector b1 into mod of vector b2 is equal to under root 6 into under root 50 which is equal to under root 300. Now by key idea we know that the angle between two lines is given by cos theta is equal to mod of vector b1 dot vector b2 upon mod of vector b1 into mod of vector b2. Putting the values we get that is cos theta is equal to mod of 16 upon under root 300 which is further equal to 16 upon 10 root 3 and this implies cos theta is equal to 8 upon 5 root 3 which implies theta is equal to cos inverse 8 upon 5 root 3. Thus we have got our answer as theta is equal to cos inverse 8 upon 5 root 3. Hope you have understood the solution. Bye and take care.


Hello, and welcome back to my YouTube channel. If you're new here, let me introduce myself. My name is Sandy Olnok, and I'm an artist. I work in a lot of different mediums, apparently now a wall paint. And I work on projects from small, mailable things, which you're gonna see in this video, to large and frameable things. And everything in between. My mission in life is to help you grow as an artist. So if there's anything I can do for you, resources I can provide, do let me know. And introduce yourself in a comment because I'd like to know where you're from, what kind of art do you make? What kind of mediums do you work in?  And this is the wall that many of you voted on here on YouTube. And I chose the darker color. There was a split vote between all of you. And I chose the darker color because I like drama. You know me, love my contrast. And this color is gray in some light. And other times it turns a delicious blue. It's based on a painting. And I'll talk about that in a future video when I give you a tour of the DIY stuff I've been working on in a future video. But it's just a delicious color. And I thought you'd like to see the results of what you voted on. The story I'll be sharing with you today has a lot about this DIY adventure, how it came about, how I powered through it using my superpowers and some of the kryptonite that hit me along the way as well. And then at the end, I'll bring it back around to how my superpowers and my kryptonite play into my artwork as well. And hopefully by the time we're all done, you're gonna be thinking differently about what your artistic superpowers might be and how you can employ them in your work. All right, let's get started. Contrary to popular belief, my superpower is not some natural inclination toward drawing, painting, or other artistic venture. It's not a magic trick. But my superpower is one I discovered a long, long time ago and it's helped me to become a better artist day by day, my whole life. It was back when I was in my 20s and it was from something that was not art related at the time. As a brand new college grad, I signed up for all the credit cards when applications arrived in my mailbox. I didn't have any financial education. I didn't understand interest rates or minimum payments, none of it. And after a not all that long period of time, I found myself almost $30,000 in the hole. I didn't even realize it since I had divvied it among so many credit cards over a couple of years. But when I added it all up, I was petrified. It felt like there was no way out at all. Once I got over that initial shock though, my inner superpower rose up. The ability to give up immediate gratification for an epic goal ahead. I found myself willing to eat more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches than is probably healthy for a human being. I wore clothes that I'd had for a decade, didn't buy new ones. I would say no to going out even if I really wanted to.   I had seen my superpower.  And I started the practice of setting a goal for something that I wanted to do or buy and then putting that money into my don't touch this account, AKA my savings account. And I just pretended it didn't exist once it went in there. And I was able to save for a ton of goals over the course of my life. Yes, I missed out on small things along the way, but I wouldn't trade a night of partying with my pals for the bigger wins that I was fighting for. That willingness to suffer is my superpower and I don't take it for granted. Only one in three Americans can comfortably cover a $400 emergency expense. And being able to save this way, my way, is not easy. I mentioned my superpower came into play recently. I've been saving for two huge things for about 10 years. The first one is a medical issue. I'm not gonna get into detail, so please respect my privacy. I don't need another mom telling me what to do with my healthcare. But just know that it's not life and death, don't worry. But if I don't address it, it's possible that it will steal my eyesight, which obviously will impact my art. And it's also not covered by insurance, so it's gonna be something that I need to handle completely out of pocket. So I started saving for it. The second goal was to finally replace my carpet. And I've saved up for that. I've been living in this house for 23 years and at almost every point, I had either baby dogs or baby cats going through potty training or elderly ones who were losing the bladder control. And at some point, carpet stains just get to be awful and irreparable. I had saved up what was needed by the start of 2022, but my last kitty was still around and I was super happy she was living a really long life. She and her brother had claimed my bedroom years before and I was even happy to give that up to the kitties. And I slept in the studio for the last six years. My bigger goal was happy kitties. Well, my don't touch this fund was raring and ready to roll until 2022 hit. Inflation was eating away at my regular income as it was doing with everybody and crazy things started happening. Stuff like my furnace gave up the ghost. I dug into the don't touch this fund to replace the furnace. And then another thing went wrong and another and the hits kept coming. Appliances, the car, some huge business expenses. A much needed trip to see my elderly mom who I had not seen in many years. And while I'm super grateful that I built up that savings, I was watching it start to disappear like sand slipping through my fingers. When my washer and dryer died last fall, I drew the line. I just said, that's it. No more taking from this savings account. And I committed to hand washing my clothing and hanging it to dry all around my house. Basically, I decided to be pioneer woman. Once I got my tax refund in the spring, I was able to get a new washer and dryer about a month ago after nine months of realizing how glad I was to be alive now and not in the 1800s because all that hand washing is no fun. Well, by last fall, when my last kitty finally did pass away, my savings was cut in half. I could replace the carpet or I could pay for the doctor visits that are gonna start in the fall. And for a time, I just put off making a choice. I just decided not to think about it. I had learned to tolerate the nasty carpet and I had gotten used to sleeping in the studio. So maybe waiting a few years on replacing the carpet would be all right. But then a couple of months ago, my sister said she was coming to town for a conference this summer and she'd love to stay with me. Now, I said yes immediately. Not gonna say no to my sister, but I was in a momentary panic. I had not let a soul into the house in years except for that furnished repair guy because of my shame over the condition of my home. I wrestled with it. If I replaced the carpet, I'd have nothing left in the fall for the doctors. So fixing up the house could mean delaying healthcare for a few years. But I also realized my life had become unsustainable in this house. I started to see how people became those hoarders that you see on TV. For me, it started with just a few cardboard boxes piled in the living room waiting to be taken to the recycle bin. And then the dining room table started to act like a magnet for anything I didn't feel like putting away. The fact that nobody would ever be allowed into my house led my piles of junk to get bigger. And the laundry drying across the furniture created even more chaos. So over the last year, the house just got worse. And I realized just how much shame was building up in me if I didn't even want my own family to come and visit. I decided that my savings would be spent on the house and I'll think about my health later. That very moment, I got busy. That superpower of mine, it kicked into gear. I started going through every single room, pile by pile, corner by corner, sorting. What to keep, what to toss, what to donate. Every spare minute for months now has been spent on this task up really early in the morning working at it till late at night. Back pain and exhaustion, no nevermind. Just gonna keep plowing ahead. A dear friend of mine offered to come and help me but I couldn't bring myself to accept her help. I couldn't face her if she saw what had become of me. That's my kryptonite asking for and accepting help. Then I had to call the carpet folks to get the process going and they had to come out to measure for new flooring. That day had me so stressed out. I had done about half of the sorting and tidying that was needed but not all of it. I hid a few things in closets and under the bed but I made the guy promise not to look at the floors. Yeah, I know it was a ridiculous thing to say but he understood, he was very kind although I had no wonder what he really thought of this crazy woman. Once I picked the flooring he said it would be about two weeks for the product to come in and then another two to maybe get the install scheduled. So I instructed my superpower to keep going. Sort, sort, sort, clean, clean, clean. Then I painted all the rooms. Since I could do that without worrying about protecting the current flooring it seemed the easiest to do at this time. But then I had another kryptonite moment. I was somehow paralyzed over the color decision for the main living room. My friend who I had held at arm's length offered again to come help and this time I texted to ask her to come over and she nearly ran to my house. I made her also promise not to look at the floors and she too was very kind and helpful and encouraging. Best cheerleader ever. Since she now knew how big a step it was for me to let her in to see my failure. Well the dates changed on the carpet. Things started happening sooner than expected. So my superpower drive to just keep my eyes on the prize kept me on that ladder painting high walls into the wee hours I ended up completing almost everything of what I had planned to do before the installation and carpets went in this week. It feels like I'm in a whole new house. I even have new toilets after the old ones proved they couldn't handle being moved while the flooring was installed. So yeah new toilets baby. I have some art to paint on the walls themselves.  Now you're probably wondering how this superpower applies to art. After all that's what you come here for not me just whining about my life situations. Well my superpower gives me the drive to practice and practice and practice more until I get something till I learn it. I'm not afraid of hard work. I'm not afraid of drawing the same thing three dozen times to really understand it. I challenge you to think about your own superpower.  I'll bet you'll discover some practices that will help you to conquer your own obstacles. You don't have to be a wacky person like me who likes to voice suffering on herself but look for your best powers and use those. But then there's kryptonite. Our faults in life can also be our faults in art. For me that fear of letting someone else help that makes it difficult for me to admit that I can't do it all but I need other people. And to that end I'm going to need the community's help in the coming months. I've wiped out the do not touch this fund which I think needs to be renamed since I keep touching it. It took me 10 years to build that up and I don't expect I'm gonna get that back over the summer. That's not what I'm looking for but I would like to sleep better at night by taking some steps toward rebuilding a little bit of a nest egg for the eventuality in case whatever happens. I may go to a specialist and they'll say, hey, you don't have to do anything for another five years.  But I'd like to ask if you're able to help, please do but helping can be as easy as helping yourself. Helping yourself to a class. I have a sale on right now in the month of June 2023, 10% off all adult classes. Using code superpower just browse the website and check out what classes are on offer. There's over a hundred there. You could also pick up a DigiStamp otherwise known as a printable in my world or you could maybe buy a painting for a birthday gift. Anything you can do would be much, much appreciated. You could also become a patron. Patreon is a website where people give a few dollars a month in order to support my work and they get various rewards at various levels. I've created two new levels in which the funds are gonna be wholly deposited into the do not touch this fund and they are $12 a month or $22 a month. I made them weird numbers so I could track them in my spreadsheet. But if you wanna give specifically to that savings goal that would be a great place to do it. And when you join Patreon, you will fall into the regular Patreon flow which means every weekend you'll get an exclusive post that nobody else gets to see but patrons and there's polls in there, sneak peeks, early access, sometimes videos, just all different kinds of things plus you'll get a card from me in the mail. And if there's news on the medical front then the only place I'm really gonna share much of that and all is going to be in the two levels at Patreon they're exclusively for that because who wants their private medical business splashed around the web as internet gossip, right? One other option would be to join Art Venture. And if you have not joined yet, it's free to join but I would ask that you consider taking one of the classes there. There's $4 classes and $8 classes, they're not expensive and those were created with the hopes that they would pay for the platform itself because right now the money to pay for the platform has been coming out of, you guessed it, the do not touch this fund thing has just been, yeah. It's been ransacked. So take one of those really simple, very inexpensive classes and be part of supporting the platform itself and then get engaged, go post your work and engage with others on theirs. As a working artist with a superpower of not being afraid of hard work then you can look forward to a summer with lots of new class releases. I'm gonna be doing a lot of mini classes like I did last summer because we're all busy but you might be able to fit in a mini class in various mediums. I'll be doing all different kinds of things. There's a wash jumpstart class that I'm starting to work on that's coming up, lots of fun to be had. Plus I'm gonna be opening up a few commission spots in the near future so stay tuned for that. Make sure you're subscribed and I will see you again very soon in the meantime. Go out and create something every day and I made it every day. Bye now.


Welcome back to the channel y'all. Here in the Silver Bullet we're doing our first technical Tuesday video so this would be a video that I put up on Tuesdays that goes into a specific piece of gear or a technique or just something really cool that I like that I encountered that I want to share with you guys and it gives me an opportunity to go into great detail. A lot of times when I'm filming these videos out on the water in the woods I sometimes just forget to go into the technical things that some of you really like some of you don't care to know the full details but and I've just done it I mean I've done this over ten years so I don't often remember to explain things fully every time to everyone so that's what we're going to be doing on these technical Tuesdays so what I want to do in today's video is go into my full setup for a weightless rig and I really prefer to throw weightless plastics on spinning gear sometimes I'll throw them on on bait casting gear here in Texas when we've got just thick timber I really just want to you know wrench on some fish with a big line or something like that but most of the time you get way more bites doing this is throwing that lighter line that lighter setup and the lighter your line is to the weight of your bait you can just fling it really really well so I'm going to go from literally the hook to the reel the full explanation here so first of all this is my spinning combo and many of you have asked about this this reel now still got like a testing number on it testing number seven it's the only one I have so I'll remember that but this this reel is something that we are working on that I feel like is really close we've been working on this with Ketchco it's I can go into full details on a later video but I've been impressed with the aspects of it and haven't had any boo-boos really to speak of so anyway spinning reel this is a 2,000 size so 2,000 size spinning reel on a spinning rod this is a 7 foot just standard issue 7 foot this is our Guggen Squad green series rod so this is our entry level and this is the finesse we have a finesse and a finesse light but the really light one the finesse light that's better for like drop shotting strictly drop shotting and really light finesse I like the the standard finesse which is I think just a medium it's gonna be yeah it's a 7 foot medium power but a fast action the power is important you want that medium so I don't want to go with a full light I know you guys can't see this full flex in this rod I don't go with a full light because especially if I'm throwing a hook that I still need to set the hook through the plastic I want to have a little bit of beef on the rod but I still want to be able to fling it out there very easily and you can't just throw a real heavy setup with the spinning rig doesn't work too well so this setup right here I really love I get asked about line all the time what's that yellow line you're using and I'm finally gonna address that here so it is it is our Guggen Squad line that we work with on we work with catch go on making this but you know I get sent samples of things and different baits and different products and this is just samples of our line of the braid that is an 8 strand but it is in this orange yellow color and the reason that I like this color is because I can see it it stands out to me so if I'm looking at my line when I'm throwing a weightless bait I can see if there's any kind of little movement side to side I can watch it twitch I really like it for crappie fishing looking at those little twitches so we've got a chartreuse and an orange unfortunately this is not available let me know in the comments if you would like to see a fluorescent colored line in terms of the size of braid this is really important I like to start with 20 for most of my weightless plastic rigs if I'm crappie fishing I like to go down to 10 maybe I'll do 12 pound braid but I like to start at 20 30 gets a little thick for the spinning combo and in my opinion 20 allows you to cast like a dream that's really where it shines especially when you want to start skipping up under docks and you know just casting this thing a really long way and take full advantage of the spinning setup 20 pound braid is awesome and because our braid is 8 strand it casts really well it's it's more round so it goes through the guides better 4 strand just so you guys know 4 strand is often more abrasion resistant and better for like heavy flipping if you're flipping like docks or heavy timber or something like that that's when a 4 strand is better an 8 strand it's just a better overall caster you get better performance with it but it is less abrasive resistant so 20 pound Guggen squad 8 strand braid now I also like to use a leader line attached to that and often I'll use 12 pound 12 pound works really well with the 20 pound braid sometimes I'll go up to 15 if I've got you know a lot of docks maybe some standing timber something like that if you want to go down a really light line say you're fishing super clear water and want to use braid then I would probably drop a rod power and go with you know 8 6 pound fluorocarbon to like 12 pound braid 15 pound braid those combos are going to work out a little bit better but this combo that I'm talking about here this medium power with the 20 pound braid with the 12 pound fluorocarbon leader that's going to work really well I think for most people across the country so let's talk about what kind of fluorocarbon line I use I do use our Guggen squad fluorocarbon just in a pinch when you know I'm in the boat just got a re-rig real quick but if I have the time I like to use a dedicated fluorocarbon because a castable fluorocarbon is not going to be as strong as a pure fluorocarbon leader like something that you would use in salt water fishing because there is no there's hardly any castability to this if you were trying to spool this onto your reel you'd have a very difficult time casting it because it has better properties for abrasive resistance it's very tough I don't want to break off that's the point so you sacrifice that when you put in castability into fluorocarbon it's all about the extrusion process that's a that's a thing for a whole other video but this is 12 pound dedicated Seaguar gold label right here I'll sometimes use this use this for crappie fishing as well with like a 6 or an 8 as a dedicated leader and I'll go about four or five foot you know not quite a rods rods length with that four or five foot that enables me to make pitches do roll cast with it sometimes without even having the knot go through the the eyes of the rod but the knot is the next big thing to this and what I like to use to connect these two lines is an alberto knot so I learned this not about three or four years ago I was using a uni uni splice and the uni uni splice works okay but after a while of casting it through the guides it does start to get a little wear and I've just noticed that you know if I get snagged and I pull on it real hard I definitely break the uni uni splice more than I do the alberto knot so alberto is really simple you know once you do it a few times you'll be able to to master it and what I like about it is it does go through the the guides really well if you wanted to get really crazy you could go with like an fg knot it probably take me an hour to tie that it's not something I want to do in the garage or on the boat but I find that the alberto knot works pretty darn good so let's actually go through that process real quick I'll have a detailed view of this where you guys can see it up close but I needed to rig this pole anyways after a googen week things always get broken and trashed and lures are all over the place and I have to sit down and rig things it's usually pretty crazy this last googen week was particularly insane I just found some cat food in my boat so I've got my braid I want to give myself plenty of room to work with set that off to the side now what you want to do with the fluorocarbon leader is take it and make a loop on the end and then you're going to take your braid and the braid is very limp right so this is how you can remember this which which end do I tie the loop on you tie the loop or you make the loop on the stiffer line which is the fluorocarbon that you're going to take that loose line that braid you're going to go through the loop and I like to pinch that pull the braid up give myself a little room and this is the simplest thing ever you're just going to make wraps I'm going to make about eight or nine wraps three four five and when you're doing these make sure you're not overlapping you just want to go right next to the last loop I lost track how many I got here the main thing is you don't want those to overlap then you want to take that tag in and you want to go back through your loop the same direction that your main line is going in both your tag in and your main line that are coming through the same way so then start pulling the fluoro and the braid can wet it a little bit slide it you'll notice it'll slide pretty easy and it's just wrapped around those two pieces of fluorocarbon what I also like about this knot is it's not it's not making like a big there's no there's no cinching it feels like like it goes down smooth you know sometimes you'll tie a knot and then you'll notice a little color change in your line like where there's some some pressure this is almost like just a constrictor knot so it's not doing that at all alright cut your line get a little bit of fluorocarbon tag in just a tiny tiny bit and then I'll leave more of the braid because the braid will fray it's not going to mess up your casting I'll leave you know up to an eighth of an inch on there sometimes give it one final tightening and then you're good to go all right so now we have our fluorocarbon end and we need a hook now this is going to depend on what kind of fishing you want to do here lately I've been doing more open water fishing some wacky rigging and wacky rig is is never a bad idea but you could also fish a regular style worm hook you know fish fluke style bait like a dart so just to keep continuity to the last video I uploaded where I was fishing a wacky rig a lot I was throwing a black with red flake lunker log five inch actually got one right here so I'll break that out and what I what I was not doing in the video was I wasn't putting a ring on that bait which will will save you some plastics it'll also enable you to just fling the hell out of it like skip it up under docks and I really like using the rings but regardless of that we're gonna use a wacky style hook or finesse style hook well we have a couple different sizes and finesse hooks with our Guggen Squad terminal tackle you know I've got I can't remember what these are if this is a size one or a one-ought but this hook that I'm using right here that you saw me using in the last video this is a finesse like open drop shot nose hooking drop shot wacky style hook this is the one that I really like to use there's a there's a bit of an offset to it which is great when you're wacky rigging and you would be shocked at how many big fish you'll catch on a tiny little hook like that now the problem with not using the ring is sometimes the fish when they bite down on the lunker log or whatever it is they can fold it they can squish it and sort of change the shape and end up making your hook set a little wonky where that that hook is going a different direction or going back into the plastic and that's just part of wacky rigging the the ring really stops a lot of it I'm gonna say 85% of it not all of it but it definitely helps the knot that I'm gonna tie on the hook is a knot that I tie 90% of the time and that is a uni knot it is the simplest knot again I love knots that don't put friction on my line when I am tight tightening them down and this is one of those knots that I've I mean I've tied it for over 10 years on bass baits and I can honestly say there's only been like a handful of times where the knot has actually broken and not even on a fish like just straight pulling it other than that it's just such a solid knot because as I tighten this knot now there's there's no resistance towards the base of the knot like a palmar other types of knots where it's it's it's constricting right there at the base and you'll see a little like a little kink in your line close to the line tie I don't know you can look at this knot there is no kink it is just you know it's perfectly tied on there with no crimps no little areas of stress on it no opaqueness either the only downside of that knot is if you are fishing around grass the tag in sticks straight out towards your your main line so it can sort of catch on vegetation every once in a while on the ring I'm sure everyone has seen these but you know what this thing is you stick it on the plastic slide your little ring on there and now they have ones that have pliers that you can stick on there a little easier than this but slap that pretty much in the middle I'm going to say on our baits it's it's right on the end of Guggen that's going to be the the midway point sort of go in at a at an angle not quite a 45 but just go through the plastic and go through that ring just a little bit of plastic and go through that ring and that baby is is ready to dangle right there ready to catch them so that is my complete setup for fishing weightless baits on spinning gear if you guys have any questions any anything else that you want to see for another technical Tuesday let me know in the comments down
