students from across campus who apply to join this group. And each group, it's like 25 students, those students break off into smaller groups. So I had a focus group of about six students at all stages of the thesis process, some very new, some who are getting ready to graduate, some in between. And from all, some were joining from overseas because they were, you know, doing field work. And so I got to bring together this focus group of students to look at what we've got on our website, look at what materials we have. So workshops, events, things online suggest, and they suggested revisions or ways that we could rethink or reimagine some of these things, these resources. And then they helped us brainstorm new ideas of things that might appeal to students now. So some of the questions we explored, you can see them here and I probably won't read them all. But the big one was what do I wish I had known when I started working on my thesis? This was a huge question that we talked a lot about. And they were able to give feedback to each other and helped guide me through what we were going to do to help support students. How can we work with students remotely or how can we get them connected with other students? A big one we talked about is how can we normalize the challenges that students face because writing a thesis is not all happy days. There are some rough times that happen. There are some challenges that happen. So how can we help students see that that happens? It's normal. It's nothing that they did. It's just part of the process a lot of times. And then how can we get them connected with people to support them and guide them through next steps? And that kind of goes along here. And also building problems, building or identifying problems, building momentum, project management, I think was a big thing that we talked about here. Okay. So what was our idea? First the idea that they had was to create a course that students had to enroll in and that I would be teaching. And I said, no, thank you. That seems really problematic. We have so many students and when do they enroll and how is that going to solve the issue of needing to come at different times, different places, different time zones? So what we ended up thinking is creating a Canvas site that gives students access on demand to thesis writing resources that might be helpful to them as they're starting the process and then also builds community that they can then talk to other students, get advice, share things and just build out, you know, the community, not just of things on campus but also of people. Okay. So what we call it is the thesis workspace. We workshop this a lot, but this is kind of our logo. This is our Canvas card that students will see when they sign up for our site. And they can get to it on our homepage, so grad.illinois.edu backslash thesis. If you go to development, this is the landing page that students will see and then they can click this orange button to join our Canvas workspace or a thesis workspace. Our landing page looks like this. And so this is the top part. You see I use the announcements section like Kristin and Lily do. This is the introduction to what the site is about. And then when you scroll down, students get these buttons where they can click on whatever button they're interested in and then it takes them to a module that then has more information about different things. So things like getting started, what are tools that you need to get off to a good start? What does a thesis look like in your field? How can you find them so that you can get an idea of what you're working with? Campus community has some modules or has some pages on the different resources across campus that are here to support students. There's also a lot of Q&As that I've done with people across campus that I'll show in a little bit. Work-life balance is a section that we're still developing, but it's thinking about well-being and wellness and taking breaks while you're working on the thesis process. How can you manage things like that and manage some of these feelings that you have such as procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome? Building momentum is a section that gives them tools for project management. Strategies for time management, strategies for working with maybe if you only have 15 minutes that you can devote to your thesis today, what can you do in that time? Things like that and things like prioritizing. Sharing your work is a section that our students really wanted to have in there. Talking about how can I take what I'm working on and share it with the general public. This is a section I'm continuing to build. I've kind of expanded modules, so this site is very living. It changes a little bit all the time. I've got this section on finishing touches, which has information about formatting and proofreading. Thinking ahead goes into things like careers and thinking about publishing your thesis in a book or in a journal. Support and share takes us to the discussion boards. Then feedback is just a nice thing for me so that if you see something on the site that you don't see something on the site that you'd like to, you can send me a message and I'll get it on there. These links take you to external things, so you can get to our thesis office website. You can get to ideals, which is our institutional repository. This help and support button will take you to a link where you can set up an appointment with me to go over whatever you might like to talk about. Like Kristen mentioned, all of these, one thing that's great about Canvas is that there is the accessibility checker. All of these have alt text and students. It's passed the accessibility check as per Canvas. That's been very helpful in making sure that things are accessible to all of our students. This is an example of a landing page. If I click this getting started button, it will take me to this page. It gives a little bit of an introduction to what's going to happen in this section and then gives a little bit of text on how to navigate from section to section. So students can just hit next and just keep going or they can click any of these different links. So this is our getting started manual. You'll see things like what does the thesis look like in my field? How to create a roadmap for your thesis. So what do you want this to look like? What is your timeline that you want to think about? And so this gives them something to take to their advisor to say, hey, I've thought about this. This is what I think I want to do. What do you think? Do you think this plan is doable? Are there any changes that you'd like to make? We talk about, you know, prewriting strategies and I'll show that page in a second, but then also six tools to help you get started. So what are six things that you can, like quick and easy decisions you can make right now that are going to make the whole process easier? That's kind of the way I pitched this section. An example of a page would be this one that's choosing a citation manager. So this gives a little bit about what a citation manager is. Very brief text and then some links to other resources on campus that can help students better understand this. This is a video put together by our library that I was able to embed in there. And so one of the things when I was talking to students was that they didn't want so my focus group played around with the site. They didn't want lots and lots and lots of text. They just want quick things. And so that's sort of the mentality that I've taken a couple paragraphs as I'm able, you know, depending on what the topic is and then links to other things so that if they want to know more, they can just go there and get the information. But the idea of a citation manager is in their head and they know to be thinking about it. The videos have been really great too, to be able to just give that extra information if that's something that students want to see. All right, there are several things that I did when I was looking into this and I'll go through them a little bit. So resources and ideas that I tapped into. The first is making use of campus personnel and online tools. I didn't do this alone. I went to others, other experts and said, hey, I have this idea. Can you help me with this? And honestly, the answer was a resounding yes from everybody that I reached out to. It was yes. And it was a lot of excitement in thinking about the possibilities. They saw this too, like I did, as a way to help get students acclimated and ready to go and so that there may be fewer problems later on. So if we start thinking about IRB really early or thinking about copyright or formatting early, it's less likely that there's going to be problems later on because we've already talked about it. We already know about it and they already know who to go to. These are some of the specialists across campus that I reached out to to help me with this, to help create content, to help, you know. And I think a lot of it was that they already had content. It was just a way of putting it in this place and organizing it in this place. It's kind of like a one-stop shop and that they can go in. The students can go in and say, oh, yeah, I should go look at that. And here's how I get there. So these are some of the places that I did reach out to and they all definitely partnered with us and got me information in different ways that worked best for them. I'm constantly getting back in touch with them. I'm working with one of our data specialist librarians right now on some really cool stuff. And so there's constantly new thought going around with this. One example is that I did Q&As with different people in offices. So I did a Q&A with our copyright librarian. So I just made up some questions, sent them to her. She answered them and I put it into a post. I have a post, Getting to Know Your Subject Specialist from the library, Getting to Know a Metadata Specialist, Getting to Know the University of Illinois Press, you know, Getting to Know These Different People. And it's nice because it gives a face to an office. It humanizes, you know, the library or the copyright topic and gives them some information to help them be thinking about this and then also, you know, make use of these different services. Another way that I collaborated was actually here with our writer's workshop. The director of the writer's workshop had some tips for how to start prewriting your thesis. So this is a tab page so students can click on the different tabs and it brings up the different content that aligns with this. I also went in-house. So one of my coworkers at the grad college graduated very recently and he's really into different tools, online tools that you can use. And so he provided some links here of different things that students might try out. So I was able to work with a couple people in creating this content. I didn't write anything here except the content written and provided by line and the links of tools line. Everything else was provided to me by Carolyn and John. The next piece is project management tools. I think we've all worked with students enough to know that they get stuck sometimes. And why do they get stuck? That's sort of the thing we're thinking about. When do they get stuck when they're writing their thesis? And how can we help them get unstuck? So we were really thinking about the thesis as a big project in you as a project manager. What are some things that happen that you need to be thinking about so that you can make the progress that you need or recognize that you need help and then be able to ask for it? So some of the tools that we include are options. We don't say there's just one way to do something.  Here, go explore them and see what's going to work best for you. For some of them, sample questions to ask. So that was a thing that our students pointed out is that they needed to have a meeting with their advisor, but they didn't really know what questions to ask when they wanted to get started. Besides, like, how do I write a thesis? So it's helping them coach through some questions that they might ask their advisor or ask themselves in reflection. I created some handouts, too, using, like, in design so that we could upload those handouts. They could print them out and use them as they wish. And then there were also guided assessments that we were able to provide for them. So this is a section that I've been working on. And it's really the one that looks into project management. So making the most of your time, how to create a routine, these different time batching or task batching and time blocking, a promodero technique, and then these different prioritization strategies. This is a section that I am continuing to build out, but it helps get students some options for what they might do or what tools might work for them and then also helps connect them to to different resources that will support them. This is an example of one of the pages that I have. This is about the Ivy Lee method, which is a prioritization method. I used just headings, three quick things to know about in the bulleted list. And then I made this handout that they can print out and then they can fill out. The handout was kind of a bonus sort of thing. But so you wouldn't necessarily have to do this in order to have a successful site. This could be plenty. One of the things that came from this is that I was doing a lot of time management or we called it thesis time management workshops. So how to, you know, do this this project management when you're working on this huge project called your thesis. And so that's where this kind of came from. And I had already built some of these handouts and just decided to repurpose them here. This was another thing that we got very lucky about. So we had someone who worked at the University of Illinois, who is a clinical counselor at our counseling center. He used to do this dissertation writing retreat, which was like a half day retreat where he came and talked about procrastination, perfectionism, that sort of thing. He talked about it from a very clinical way. So like thinking about what's happening in your brain when you're feeling like this. And then he gave some of these assessments here and then suggestions for how to manage this. So I am not a licensed clinical counselor. I couldn't provide this information. He actually was so passionate about this that he gave us this this information. He wrote it up for us, gave it to us and said, use it. And so this is where we were able to put it in this place where students can can access it should they need it. We also wanted to make use of interactive resources just for fun for students and to see, you know, how successful they were. You know, I wasn't sure how much students wanted to poke and prod in here, but I made some quizzes just for fun. The so we have a data management quiz. This was a resource that our writing center provided to me. And I thought, well, it doesn't make sense. It's just a static page. So I made it a quiz or a survey kind of activity that then they can use. There's also a selection or a section for reflection so students can just write down some of their thoughts and ideas as they're reflecting on writing their work. And it's there. It's not something I'm ever going to look at. And I tell them that I'm not going to look at this. This is totally for you. You can do it as many times as you want to.  You can just type down some notes or you can pull this up with the notes that you have that you want to share with them. The next one are assignments. So again, these are not things that I'm going to grade. It's just a place for them to reflect and put information. So topics to discuss with your advisor, some tips on setting goals and a place where you can write down your goals for each semester. And then this one is editing exercises, which was also something provided by our Writing Center. The other piece is Ask Emily. So there is a discussion thread that's just called Ask Emily. You can ask me whatever you want. And it, you know, I'm able to answer the questions in there and it archives them. So the other students have those questions. They can go back and see what what I said and what the answer was. There's also links to one-on-one support. So thesis office hours are just appointments that students can make to talk about formatting. They're usually like 15 minutes and it's usually like, did I do this? Okay. And then, you know, we have a conversation about that. But with creating the thesis workspace, one of the things that I wanted to do is then offer thesis coaching, which is a half an hour appointment that students can schedule with me to talk about anything that they might need help with. A lot of it relating from the website, the Canvas site. So we talk about setting goals. We talk about prioritizing. We talk about whatever the students wanna talk about. A lot of them use me for accountability. So they'll come every other week and say, hey, I did this thing and I'm gonna do this thing next time. And so then when I see them again, it's like, had you do, did you do that? You know, what happened? You know, if it didn't go well, what can we do about that? You know, and so I'm like helping them with project management, but I'm also a big cheerleader for them. And so they're getting that sort of support, hopefully from me as well. We also wanted to build a community of peers. And so we have discussion boards that are meant to share resources. So if a student sees something, the tool that they wanna share with others, they can do it in the discussion board. They can leave advice, they can ask questions. They can have fun too. And I'll show you a couple of our discussion boards. So passing it on, sharing lessons learned, advice and encouragement. I actually linked to this in the last module so that they can, as they're finishing up their thesis, what would you like to tell those who come after you? What would you like them to know? How have you battled the blank page? And then this one is a lot of fun. So sharing the pets that make the thesis possible. I'm sure you all have seen this too. In the acknowledgement section, there's always like dedications and acknowledgements for pets. And sometimes there's pictures of pets. And so I wanted to share, I wanted them to be able to share their pets here because that's such a cool part of the process. And so there's even actually a dissertation with a chapter about acknowledging animal companions. This is a book now, but it was a thesis about people citing pets in their acknowledgement section. So I linked to that here and then it was a lot of fun to see the cats and dogs that are now, or in the plant, one student put a plant because they don't have a cat or a dog. And so that was a lot of fun to see them use. Okay, our communication plan. How do we get the word out about this? It's been kind of tricky to kind of figure out. So what we decided to do was create customized emails to doctoral students who have passed their preliminary exam. And then we continue communication throughout the semester. So what I do is at the start of the semester, I have a report pulled for all the students who took prelims in the previous semester. I then send them an email that looks like this that congratulates them, says that we're proud of them, that we wanna support them and gives them access, a link to the workspace. This has been really helpful for our doctoral students. They all have to take preliminary exams. So we just pull that list and then we were able to send them this. For a master's students, it's trickier. A lot of times we don't know if they're writing a thesis. A lot of times they don't know if they're writing a thesis. Things happen a lot. They'll be in 599 classes and we're like, okay, they're writing a thesis. And then at the end, they'll just drop those 599 classes and do something else. So departments also get an email that says, hey, we have this resource. Can you share it with your students? And so that's how we're reaching our master's students. It's not perfect. We're still thinking, but this is the best that we've figured out for the moment. I also, we have a newsletter that goes out to grad students once a week. And I've been able to post links in here. Not just join the thesis workspace, but it's also teasing some of the stuff that you can find if you join the thesis workspace. And so these are some of the tools that I've used to help pull students in. I also send out announcements occasionally, especially if there are upcoming events or opportunities that students should be aware of or changes to the site. If I've added some cool stuff, I might send them a message to let them know. So our results, so far so good. Here are some of the logistics. Users opt in. So I don't batch upload people into that. I let them choose if they want to be in this space or if they don't wanna be in this space. The site is also not publicly available. So if you try to go in and access it, you won't be able to. It is blocked by the net ID and password. I wanted that, you know, because there are these discussion boards and things I wanted the students to have as much privacy as possible. Assignments and quizzes are not graded. They're just for the student to do. I don't look at them, but comments are moderated. So if a student leaves a comment, I will look at it to make sure that it's okay. And we can talk about logistics of that in a second. And then announcements are occasionally sent to notify students of opportunities or events they might wanna know about. So we launched the site, February 15th, 2023. And we already have over 441 users, which I'm very proud of. I'm really excited that we've gotten this much interest in this site. According to our statistics, we have an average weekly page views of 211. And average page views per student is 40. One of the things that I've been able to see is that students are returning users. So there are the chunk of students who, you know, impulse sign up and then they don't necessarily come back very frequently, but I do have students that are coming back once a month to see more things or at least interacting quite frequently to get that information, which I think is really, really good to see. We have right now 515 discussion board posts. So not very many discussion board posts. So it doesn't take a lot of my time to moderate them. It's a learning process. And you saw the message I sent out. I actually sent out that message a couple of days ago. Join the discussion, you know, send posts. And then we'll see if that brings more people. We also had 22 completed assignments and quizzes, which I thought was fascinating because I'm not requiring it. I don't care if they do it, but they are. And so that was really, I was really excited about that. It doesn't seem like too many given how many users we have, but I don't know, I was excited. So our plans, where will we go next? Like I said, this is a living site. It's something I'm constantly tinkering on my own with and playing with. So we're gonna expand modules on wellbeing communication and looking ahead. So wellbeing, we just hired a community and wellbeing coordinator at the grad college. And so she's putting together some content dealing with, you know, how to take a break. What does a break look like? When do you do this? And things like that, that we'll be adding to that section that kind of parallels the information given by the clinical counselor. The communication page is something I'm building too. And you know, things like 3MT and other bachakacha and that sort of thing is put in here. Looking ahead, I'm working with the career office to think about how, you know, you can think about your dissertation in terms of looking for careers.  How can you link it? Like what sorts of things you can use for that? I'm gonna be creating videos on formatting and then other deposit considerations. We're thinking about these being kinda, you know, the formatting ones are gonna be a little bit more professional with like, well, they're all gonna be professional, but it's gonna be like me showing my screen and doing that sort of thing. But the deposit considerations and other things like talking about release options and embargoes, that's gonna be a little bit more of a casual conversation that I'm gonna have with our videographer about to make that a really approachable sort of thing. I'm gonna continue to build campus partnerships, dig deeper into issues, including ADA accessibility and new form thesis. I have a whole bunch of notes from today's sessions that I'm gonna be putting into this site to help students think about ADA, why it matters, what they should do and how to prepare for this. Another piece that's not related to the website or not related to the Canvas site, but is related to our website is to think about the language that we're using, making sure it's clear. When I got the job, I inherited terms like stage one, stage two, stage three, and that's not something that students understand or really know about or respond to. And so that's something that I'm sort of thinking about in the way that we're framing this process and how we're talking about it. How can you get started? Don't worry, you can do it. I can do it, Emily. Thank you. Okay, so some questions to consider. Who are your students and what do they need? Are there any gaps in the support that they receive? What do your students want to know and can you build campus partnerships to provide support? I recommend thinking about what do you want your site to be? What kind of information do you want to give students? Do you want it to be at the beginning of the process? Do you want to be at the end of a process? Kind of like what Kristen and Lily were talking about. I think figuring out what kinds of services you want to give students, what information you want to share with them is a really good start. My site has been something that I've been working on for two years and so there's a lot of content in there. I didn't do it overnight. I had been working on it for a long time and I also didn't do it all. I asked other people to help and so I was able to just put the information in there especially in the campus support unit section. Lots of information that they gave me from their website and that was done. So thinking about some of these things can be helpful. My advice is that the site doesn't have to be done in order to launch. That was a sticking point for me. I wanted it to be done and perfect and lovely so that my students could see it immediately and my boss is just like, no, just get it out there. You can continue to build and you'll change things but just giving something out there to help get the word out so that they know it's there and that departments know it's there and that becomes part of the culture of our institution. Partner with campus experts. You don't need to know or say everything. They can help and they want to help. A lot of times I was like, I know I was talking to the writer's workshop lady and she was like, just copy and paste from our website. That's how we want you to talk about us and then give some links. And so I was like, okay, let's do it. And so I just put a couple of sentences on there and gave the links so that then they have that repository of things that they could potentially use and then if they want to know more, there's links to take them there and they can get help from the experts there.


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Hazel Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. Hi folks, I'm Hazel Chapman at this Friday, the 26th of August. We're looking out there 33 points at 41.69. So this is very interesting. Over the last couple of days, we've seen some absolutely fascinating things. Now, I always make a big deal about the 200-period moving average, and it depends on what time frame you're looking at. But most importantly, it can act as tremendous as a magnet. Just simply put, what does a magnet do? It attracts whatever it is, usually metals. It attracts something, and it becomes a propellant or a repellant. If that, if it touches whatever it is, touches, and it moves away from it. So look at this. You've got the E-mini, this is a one-minute chart. Look at this orange line, right? Let me expand this. Everything's a little slow today because there's a lot of action with effect torque going on right now. So have a look at this orange line. It goes under it, and then it goes above it, and it goes above it, and above it, above it. And then it goes into a rectangle formation. Keep testing over and over and over and over, right until the 830. That was the news report on one part of the economy. I wasn't listening, so I'm not sure what it was. And then it springs into action. It pops right up, goes to peak A, but not good enough. When you spend this amount of time at a 200-period moving average, there's a good chance you're going to have to retest at some point. Well, it spikes up into the 4200s, the September E-mini, pulls back, and what does it do? It makes one last visit to the 200-period moving average before it has an extension going to peak C and then a peak D, stopping dead at about what was it, 42.17? I think it was, 42.17. Yeah, 42.17.25. And that gives you a peak D in the chapter where you're always looking for D because that's where you raise your foot off the accelerator, hover over the brake, caution light flashes, and it turns down. At that particular point, I made a measured move and I said, now it's the latest thing I've done for the last, oh, I've been doing it for a little while now, but officially, I'd say in the last three weeks, I typed in, I never used to do this, I used to just put the crosspoints or whatever it was, but that's kind of vague. I thought, let's be as specific as possible because I'm trying to develop this so that I can make it more formatted as a program. Well, I said 42.03 by 9.30. Well, it went to, it went to 42 at 9.28, it went just underneath, it went to 41.99.50, and then bounced a little bit, and then it took off to the downside, but I had another typed in number, and that said 41, just make this bigger so you can see what I done, format just for the moment. And I'm also using a little time, it's technical Friday, and now to show some of the techniques that I used, if I can do this, there it is. So we'll just go to 18 for now, so you can just see what I'm doing, then I'll get rid of it. Wow, this is so slow because of all the action that's going, oh, I'm just going to cancel that out. Oh, there it is. Yeah, get out of that, all right. So what we're looking at cancel, oh, stuck. Doesn't happen very often with Trace Station. Usually it's a wonderful platform that I can use. All right, so it said at 9.37, and what happened, so at 41.86 by 9.58, and what happened is it plunged underneath, it went to 41.84, 87, so let me give you the exact figure. So 41.86 by 9.58, you can see I'm stalling as nothing I can do because there is so much action going on that I'm actually a little slow, and not the usual case, oh, don't do that. Okay, here we go, I think we're back. No, we're not. All right, so it went under it, and now I can't move anything to the right, I can't move anything to the left, I'm stuck. I can get out of that, don't worry about that, here we go. Sorry, this is not the time to have a problem like this. So you can see the dials now only down 8, it was down a lot more before, the SMB is down 4, and I'm just waiting for things to be normalized, and I'm just going to have to wait. So in the meantime, there's a lot to discuss, I don't have to have the chance for what I want to discuss. Number one is, there it is, it hurt me.  There we go, okay, now let's go to this. The dial is now down 10 at 33279, but from Wednesday's low, and we actually, for some of our positions, that we had three times long, we kept one part of it three times long, where we wanted to get into the core, the one-to-one route of the ETF, so we managed to do that before the open on Wednesday, and that is the reason being, I think we're in a phase now where three times long is not going to be as beneficial as it had been coming off the lows back in June and July. And therefore, I don't mind having them as trading positions, but as core positions, I just want to be able to have my subscribers sleep at night, so we've got new positions, or added positions, and it's just a much simpler way of doing it at this particular point. In the Dow, we still have the long diamond position, we did get the DOG, that's one-to-one short to Dow, as an amelioration, so that on Wednesday, we got both the, it was a day before, we got the DOG, and we've, no, what am I talking about? We got it just before the big move down at the open on the 22nd of August, so we were lucky near the 33,500 area, we got short, so we've got that as a kind of, it's to ameliorate, that's what I said, any down move so that we can continue to hold the diamonds, because I don't want to get out of the diamonds now, we've got in at such good prices, why? I don't want to mess with that, how do we get back in? The risk of getting stopped out a couple of times is just too great. So that's what we've got, and it's more an insurance policy than anything else, even though it's made a little money. In fact, we took a little bit off and made some money, not the point, the point is that I'm anticipating, somehow or other, that the market holds up a lot better than, you know, climb a wall of worry, that's exactly where we are right now, but that doesn't mean to say there aren't things that are not serious, there are a lot of things, I mean the price of energy for anyone in Europe is just, it's out of sight. So you can't ignore that, usually what happens in Europe does filter to us, so okay, well that's it, let's go on. So we've got the S&P, at this particular point, we've got the S&P down 8 at 41.91, came nicely off the low, at 41.20, 41, I usually type it in, it's not in now, it should be in because today's going to be quite an exciting day. So we've got, this is not nice, this is good, the low of 41.19, I thought it was 22, no, it was 41.19, and here we are at 41.88, really nice move up, gives us a little bit of a cushion, so that's what I was saying to subscribers, thank goodness from Wednesday to early this morning, there was this huge move up in different indices to give us a cushion, if anything that Powell said, just tank the market, tank the market just for a brief moment, and I don't think we've done, I think the day is going to be very, very choppy, and now let's go to the QQQ, quite on the 9 and 14 period of explanation, moving here to 3.20, down 45 cents, not as strong looking as the others, but I'll get you to the weekly charts as soon as we come back, and most importantly I wanted to show you something that I think is quite fascinating here, if you're looking at bonds, our bonds are down 11.50 seconds, it did that left side, right side price time match, I'll be back.

Hi folks, we're back, and the Dow is not down 63, has to be down 11. I'd love a digestive session. Yeah, it doesn't have to be too carried away. Downside doesn't have to be too carried away. Upside, just take a breather. If you don't want to have this keep going up and then have a quadruple down day, I just prefer these moments where you breathe naturally. So breathing naturally, looking at this left side, right side, price, time, match to the exact day of the expected match. That was a low in the bonds. That's the low from the 136th level, 136th and 25th, 24, 30 seconds. Well, we went to 100 and I suppose two days ago. Is that correct? Yes, two days ago went to 136th and 530 seconds. Yesterday went a little bit below and closed a nice kind of an overpowering candle from the previous day. I look at too many charts to get too carried away with engulfing candles. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But this definitely is some form of an engulfing candle. And now we're having an inside day down 12, 30 seconds. So that that means that if there is a break into the 130, a close under 135 says that if very quickly the 134 and 832nd low, the 28th of June is taken out, you can anticipate a move halfway into the 615 June 15th low of that was 615, 616 somewhere around there of 131, let's go to 131. So somewhere a test into this area will be a major test, 133. So it needs very quickly to have a rebound because the stochastic is trying to rally from a single digits to whilst 967 to at least 12%, it needs to get there. On-balance form is not great. The histogram of the MACD is starting to improve a little bit. And if you go to the TNX.x, there it is. We did a left side, right side price time match on the way up of the 10-year, this is the 10-year Treasury note interest rate. And it went to a peak E while still a leg E. We'll see if today doesn't make a new high. But it's just been telling me for a while that yields are stuck in a range for now. There could be a much bigger move up into the 35, 36 area, 3.5, 3.6 area. Later on, but at this particular point, I don't think so. I think it's just, there's a containment area. Just now I want to see where the dollar is, the dollar is down sharply, down 62 ticks. And I want to see where gold is, and gold is down 7, trying to come back here. It's just, it's not, remember I said a long time ago, think of these five things completely separately. Oily, that's oil. Usually there was a relationship between the oil and the dollar. That's been gone for a long time now. Oil is an independence, it's a 9269, came off the 200 period exponential moving average. Magnet line, it's still a magnet line until a crude oil actually trades on a weekly basis with a close above 97. Consider that there's a lot of resistance, it's not breaking down, it's not breaking. It's just stuck in this range. If you're looking at goldie, goldie stuck in a range as well. The lower range hasn't been able to get out of its own way. If you look at the resistance of the Chapman falling-axe resistance here in this rising Chapman inside track, repellent zone, another repellent zone, it's still stuck at the bottom. If you look at the U going to a double U pattern in the monthly, going to a lower low just kind of negates that for a while. There will be a moving gold at some point. I just don't think it's yet. I think of Bondi which is bonds or just did that, but let's go to the TLT. That 110.86 low that was made on the 23rd, I need to check that still in fact. No, the 25th it went lower to 110.99. Oh, that is a lower. Oh, the 86 might have been pre-market, huh? So it went lower than this low right here of the 28th of June, 110.87. Oh, yeah, it went to, why have I got 86? Ah, because on the 24th it went to 110.86. I got the 23rd, it should have been 24th. Very interesting. So it touched the left side low, just one penny below. Now it's trying to push up. If at any point 109, no 108.50, let's go to 108. If 108 is taken out, watch out that 102.12 will be a measured move on the 17th of June. Oh, you don't already see that. That should take us into September 15th or 20th area in time. So that's that. So remember just to give them and Vixie. Remember Vixie index. If you just based everything on the Vixie index, you would have thought even with this big spike from the 18s to the 24s, right on the 200-period exponential moving average. Yeah, look at this, how incredible this 200-period moving average has been. Either as a springboard, as a repellent, a resistance area. It's done it again. But that's a 24-21. We're at 22.38. So you would expect that from the 19.12 low to the 24.86 high, you would have had a massive move down in the market. But actually it's been quite a gentle move thus far. It could accelerate. So watch that. So once again, you've got these independent things. You've got a dolly for the dollar, which is screened to the upside and then stopped dead right at the double top area. Now it's pulling back, maybe making a cup and handle. I don't like those. I love cup and ladle, cup and ladle, cup and ladle. Yeah, we need to look at a cup and ladle pattern. So those are five things. You've got bondy, dolly, oily, goldie and Vixie. And those are the things that I monitor. But I have to think of them all very separately. There was a relationship when gold went down, the dollar went up and the dollar went up, gold went down. It hasn't worked like that for a long time. Maybe in the trend kind of works that way, but not in the big picture. It just hasn't. So think of them independently. Now what I want you to do is to say that. Thank you very much for that note that says, Chairman Powell this morning, continuing to sharply increase Fed rates is a necessary pain of taking today's inflation. People continue to raise rates. Nothing wrong with that statement at this particular point. There will be a moment where it doesn't work. But I don't think that that's, I think the market at this particular point is going under it. It's the spell of the different areas. This is go to the estimators down tucked in the wrong place.  Yeah, there we go. SMH trading down four at 231.70 had a nice spike stored right at the 14 and nine period exponential moving averages. You did have have a left side, right side price time match going to buy the 30th of August. It should test the 2221.30 level that was a low of the 26th of July, but it got close. It got to 2220 225.71 on the 24th. Now it's rebounding. This is still in play, but I hope that the semiconductors are actually holding as well as they are. They're under the two-interviewed exponential moving average. That is a bit of a worry. And that means that if you're all along, you need to raise yourself just to be very comfortable that you've had a good round.

It went right to where? The 200-period exponential moving average and it just dropped sharply. I'm not going to do any work on that right now because I got a lot of questions that I didn't get to. I first of all want to thank Dan. Dan, thank you so much for sending me the settings that evidently you had the same trouble with your trade station earlier this morning. You just sent me, I'm not going to do that now live, but yep, thank you for the settings. I'll actually see if I can do that. So it doesn't happen very often, as you know. It's a very good platform, but it did happen this morning when it just froze up for that moment because there was just so much action, I guess that's what it is. So on Friday, I said to see Friday, Friday, Friday. So a couple of questions have come in. I didn't get to it and I can't remember offhand who asked me for it, but I didn't do it yesterday.  Is energy fuels and uranium? It's down 690, it's at 696 down 37 cents with a long-legged dojo candle that's under. And that just says that you've got to be a bit careful here because if it closes underneath yesterday's low in the long-legged dojo, this is my own interpretation of candles, this is a particular candle, long-legged candle, like a plus sign with the wicks along, up and down. So the lowest 703, if it closes under 703 today, then the closing price, open and closing price, which was at 732 and it closes 733, so that whole area of 732-33 is now resistance. And the 200 period moving average of 6.80 is in play as support. It's on my list because I think with all the uranium stocks, the idea is to be able to time it very well. If you can time it very well, you get spectacular moves. If you time it closer to a high, the pullbacks could be 40%, 50% because it's a single-digit price stock. So yes, unless it can trade and hit and hold above 740 in the next, going to Wednesday of next week, I think this is just a single-legged A up. I've got it as an F, but it's really like a single-legged Eiffel Tower that goes straight up and straight down and if it goes under 640, that's a real problem. You're going to have to wait a little longer. The monthly chart says that it's just a big consolidation from the high in the 11 area and a low in the under 5. So as I say, it gets cut in half. So just hold off. Next question came in about lithium, global ex-lithium and battery tech fund trading down $0.94.7779. And what's really important about this particular chart, it did make a PG. It had an alternate count, but that alternate count is negated. So now it's got a down move. It did a beautiful left-side, right-side price time match. Remember, folks, for my subscribers and opening call, we go through this a lot. Number one, we go through this a lot. And number two is that I explain the patents. And that's what I had my webinar on recently. And if there's no time limit to that, that's a webinar that is just for the patents. And whenever they occur, they occur. It wasn't as if to say, this is a timing model for entry and exit points. This is for the subscribers. It was not. This is a patent recognition webinar. And it's valid for whatever time. There's no time limit. So this is definitely, they made a PG, a rogue wave PG, right here. This is lit, LIT. It goes to 7740 on the 28th of June. And then plunges below the left-side low. So it starts a brand new buy mode. It goes to A, B, C, D. Yes, there's a potential chart. We have instant restart. I had a left-side, right-side price time match to the fourth of August to hit 7740. It didn't. It went to a high on the fifth of 7639. Then the next day, it gapped up and went above that. So it was two days late, but it had that exact pattern. Oh, I had this and I took it out because it was starting to look messy. Where do I put the signing point for my chat wave inside wedge target resistance line? In this case, I put it on the low back in the last day of June, beginning of July, and it went right to the point of that was the cross point right there and it went above it. So now we're at 7781, making a potential dreaded H pattern like this, low case H. And one of the things I'd say to subscribe is the reason why we got in on Wednesday for the one-to-one long positions of one situation where we still along the three times long. But most importantly, we went along a particular area that I think is starting to improve a lot, but it's going to be very choppy until it can break to the upside. And that's because with the rally that we just had, I was able to put a stop that I think is very reasonable and that's really important. You want to know what your risk is. You want to stay in the game. In the 20 years I've been here at TFN over 20 years now, I always talk about the risk of subscribers. I know I make tight stops. It costs us money in the end. We might lose 2% or even 3% sometimes a little more. But when it works, we have really good gains and those gains really make up for the little losses. I just can't do this. I'm not able to sleep at night if I have subscribers who are sitting with a 20, 25, or 35% loss because it just interferes with everything else you're thinking about. It's so hard to put on new positions with this little thing sitting in your shoulder like a... What do they call it? Like wagging the finger.  Look at what I got you. I got a 20% loss, 30% I don't like that. So I like to be free to think and do it as clearly as I can. Most importantly... The other thing is that is upsetting because where are we now? We're down at 41.37 and I had a short at 42.09 I think it was and I got out thinking, oh, okay, that's a good gain. Wow, look at this. It would have been a 40-point slide. All right, well, that's the way it goes. You've got to do a show, you've got to do a show. Okay, what we're looking at next is... So that was one question, two questions. Oh, USD, CHF. That is the... Oh, I used to have this all done so neatly. USD, Swiss franc, ETF. I wanted to show this as... Let me get this right. Is this the one? I'm almost sure this is the one. Yes. This has made a number of peak diesel in the monthly chart. The last one, just the most obvious one, is from around about the year 2018. We're to peak A in the Chevrolet methodology. We're always looking for four higher peaks, peak B, peak C, and that's where other things can happen. That's where you can sometimes get your sharpest decline. Well, lo and behold, the dreaded age took it out, went all the way down, and in January, I think it was 2021, started a new move up. So then it went to a strong leg A and then gave it up. And then under it, it had a grey peak A, a quarter grey, because there's no buy... There's no stochastic over 80% to be really considered a buy mode. And it goes peak A, grey A, grey B, grey C, all underneath that original A, and then it spikes higher and goes to a D. Well, that D was underneath the previous D of April of 2019 to 1.02372. This one was at 1.0... 1.006. So I don't like that. That's actually a big negative. I think it's like it won't go back if now it's dropped to the D. I just want to throw that back and think the question about the big down in the mountains for you, I'll be back.

Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Hi, we're back and we've got two segments to go. Let me do this quickly. So the question came up, what is the notation in CF Industries holdings? I'm not going to go through all the different things, but all along I should just say for clarification in the 1995 area, we did 119.58 today with a little doji candle in a leg F. I believe that this is about to have a little bit of a breather, but that's in the daily chart. So the stork leg formation went to a one-to-one extension to the upside, and that is a very bullish pattern. The stork leg means that once you go above the oval body and come back in, if you don't take out the low of the oval body, then that starts a brand-new strong move. That's the beak when the beak is finished, and then you're on your own. In this particular instance, this is still basically the neck, and the neck is so long that it just excludes completely. In fact, I have to take it away now because it's not a stork leg formation anymore. This is a Chapman wave propeller shaft pattern where you've got a full crimp. It doesn't say you're going to go from the low in one-to-one, but it means that from the last either doji candle, in this case a little doji candle at 95, to the high of 105, then a pullback from the 98 area, you can get an equal amount to the upside. Yes, it could turn into the whole leg, but I just treated it like this is a propeller shaft midpoint for a move up. That's not the issue. The issue is this is a technical Friday. What did we do about the weekly chart? Let me just open this up so that we can see that. So this is the weekly chart. It made a peak F once upon a time back in, I think it was May, right there, what was that? It was May the 21st at round number, opened at 54, 57.19 high, and then it just dropped sharply. It didn't plummet, it just steadily dropped day after day to 43.19. 4.10%, not a big deal, but it did make that round number quite important. Now what we've got is you've got peak ABC, then it goes to a D, E and F at 113.59, the week of the 15th of April, and then pulls back, and it does the halfway one-to-one left side, right side price time match, and it breaks out about a week earlier than it should in a single leg A to the upside. However, you see the starting point is trough D. Yes, the Magdi turned up beautifully, the differential is nicely above the 26 period moving average. The stochastics only at 75%, I much prefer over 80%, because that's what you want to see when you're in a buy mode. Most importantly, you want to see it getting to the 90% level. Well, maybe there's still time, but it hasn't done it yet. It did it once before, and then it pulled back. So the starting point here was this low that was made back on the 20th of August at 43.19, or 2021, between about a weekly chart. So it's taken a year exactly, and it's gone from 43 to 119, but this little stopping point with the doji candle high, it met every criteria for some kind of a pullback, and unless it takes out that low, the 45 low, anything from here means that you continue, and you could consider this a G, because it's a continuation of the F, but it's also a potential brand new A. This is hydrogen, nitrogen products for clean energy, fertiliser, emissions, abatement. You can hold up whatever placard you want. This meets all the criteria, whether you are someone who wants as much energy as possible, whether you want fertilizer, whether you want clean air products, emissions, abatement, it just does everything. So I'm saying to you, think of it now. Yes, I would like to put in the G slash A, but it met so many criteria that I really think it's an A. A says every dip you want to buy, G says, oh my goodness, you're getting ready for a major pullback, but look, the 9 is still sharp, you're above the 14, it's in the right area sector-wise. I like it very much. So the most important thing about this is sometimes I have to go with the dating chart, and the dating chart says, whoa, we are really close to some kind of a digestive phase. 93% of the stochastic is fantastic. Magnes made an M shaped pattern great. 9 is way above the 14, and the price is way above the 9. Nothing to me, it did the left side, right side price time match exactly. Look at this. Right here. Look at that, and there's an even larger one that makes the high that was made back at 133.49, with the low of the 23rd of June at, this particular low was at 88.33, and it said you've broken out to the upside in the shorter time frame from the left side high to the low to the right side, and that's usually a very big positive, but this is be careful because you've done a little too much too soon. So all I'm saying is that yes, for those of you remember I'm just doing analysis, I'm not telling you to buy or sell anything like that. What I am saying is that expect some kind of a pullback, but the question really was, what do you consider the weekly chart to be in? And I'm going to say for purely technical reasons, I'm always a little conservative in these notations, because in the Chapman methodology, there is a case to make to say that that could be a G. There is a case to make to say it's an A, and then the answer to that whole thing is, no, the question would be, are you kidding? It's either, oh my God, or it's woohoo. No, I'm saying that all the technicals are still very good. A breakout in this particular pattern says that the 113 level should be revisited and probably a little bit lower than that, and it says you could see a digester phase of even four to five weeks with a big candle, maybe going a tad higher, but still with this big candle being the fulcrum for the price move swinging up and down and up and down and I'll even draw it in. I don't mind if it breaks to the upside, but at the same time I want you to know that you've got to still be a little bit cautious right here. Now the monthly chart had a peak D, but not within three bars it did not and this is very interesting. There it is. Look, one, two, three took four bars and the last bar was a break above, so this is not a Chapwick instant restart. It doesn't mean to say you couldn't have a sell signal or buy signal here, and this is a brand new move, but here again the monthly chart has E-A, F-B, G-C. Everything about it says it's probably a C, but I don't want to be that loose with this. I don't know because I need the shorter time frame which is the weekly to tell me, but I don't know the weekly because I need the dating to tell me. It's incredibly strong in the monthly chart. The stochastic not so great at 72%, it's not confirming it. On-balance volume is a tad overboard, but the nine-period moving average of 91 support and 82 in the 14-period moving average or key levels. So you see what happens is that like what we're in right now. So we're long. I wanted to take a little bit of a game today, but I thought we were already taking three little bits of, three little bits maybe ten. So I didn't want to take another one yet today. I want to see what happens at the close, maybe a little bit. And then we've got this cash position for CF that we want to put back into CF. We'll see what happens. All right. So the next question came up, could I do just an account on NTR. NTR is Nutriot Limited Retail Agricultural Solutions Fertilizer at All-Saint category. This is a doji candle today. Leg E is almost in the same category, but not even close to as strong as NTR. This is a leg E and it's a leg in the weekly. It's a classic customer of 80%. But the 90% for the days in, so far it's good. I'll be back. Let's get started. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball.

Number one is Nike trading at $162 down to $260, making a potential dreaded H. It really needs to hold $108 by Monday or Tuesday. Otherwise, it's a real problem and that is a sell signal. I'm going to wait until the end of the day, but it looks like it might be increased to a sell mode. So, that's Nike. A couple of questions. Could I do DBA? Oh, can I get to DBA? Yeah. DBA is the DBA Agricultural Fund. We are long from the 1370s and we've taken a little bit off, but we've still got a call. We added back again the other day, it's trading at $20.60 up $0.10. Yeah, I think it's in play. I don't think it's breaking out just yet. That 200-period moving average at $20.54 is just so strong. To break away, your dad started a leg C in a very quick period of time in the weekly chart and that just says to me that it's in play. It cannot be ignored, but I want to see $20.80, $21.30 on a weekly basis so that it holds most of the week up in that level. But I think the commodities are in play. So, with that said, we've got to do this, a VIX index trading right now. Remember, VIX, oh, type it over here, $VIX.X, that's how we get it, trading into the channel wave inside track repellent zone in the weekly chart. It hasn't taken out the low, the high of three days ago. So, if the VIX index trading at $23.14 right now, if after 2 o'clock, $215, after $215 this afternoon, if the volatility index is over $23.65, I think that we're going to see a really weak close. But if all of a sudden, because this is all news related, if all of a sudden the VIX index slides under $23.72 and it does that by 10 to 2.215 this afternoon, I think we can have a little bit of a rebound and that could be very good. Have a wonderful rest of the day and a wonderful weekend. I'll see you on Monday. Check out my opening call. Stay tuned for Steve Rosener, The Great Programming, coming up.


Kirill Alexenko joins us in our studio after his draw against Turkey's Vahap Senal in round 7 of the Gibraltar Masters. Vahap is having an impressive run here in Gibraltar. Kirill, a draw with the black pieces today. A fair result after a solid game? Yeah, it was very solid after the opening and why didn't I have any advantage from the beginning? So, yeah, it was a fair result of the game. Even though there was this sharp swashnikov opening, did you feel that you could have complicated things at any point? Yeah, I expected more complicated, but he decided also to play solid in this game. And I knew some territory to the move, maybe, to move Qd2, because I remember that the main move here is to play Qd3. Right. Yeah, and to protect somewhere from A4, Ab, and also Qd3 looks more solid than on d2. And after Qd2, Rkd1, I have several good opportunities in this position. Even here, I can play, for example, h6. It should be totally fine for me. But I decided to play Qb8 with the idea of b3, so I have to play b3 first. Yeah, and then my common idea is to play A4, trade off the pawns. Yeah, trade and push my rook on a2, then double my rooks, and create some contemplation on the queen side. Yeah, so after Qb7, Qh1, he has some threat on f4 already. So I have to start immediately pushing A4. Yeah, and after Nb4, just everything trades.  But at this point, you took a while. You took about 10 minutes to play g6. Yes, because I expected mostly Bg2 instead of fh4 and I was trying to remember what was in my analysis. But then somehow it's just transposed to itself. Right, well, today also you get some rest and like you said yesterday was also a quick game for you. No, not so quick. It was a very complicated game. In the time travel I also landed a piece so I was very lucky in the end. Right, going into the last three games you've got 5 out of 7. What's your feeling? Happy with your play so far? It's okay, I mean it could be better but also I defended one completely losing position so yeah, it's totally fine for me. And you were mentioning to us this problem about playing with the black pieces. Is always a bit tough, especially in open events? Yeah, definitely, because sometimes your opponent is not going to play for a win and you're about to just play very solid and it's not so easy to find any opportunities to create any chances problems. All right, well, three crucial games coming up. We wish you all the best and hope to see you back here. Thank you.


So on the men's side last year, indoors, they finished fourth overall, which we were excited with. So that was kind of one of our goals, was to be top five. And going into this season, our goal is just to kind of improve on that and just see everybody improve throughout the season. We are looking to Camp Somers and Nate Williams to be team leaders this year. They both were conference champions last year indoors, so we're looking forward to seeing what they can do again this year. And again, just following their leadership throughout the season. We did add over 30 new student athletes to both track and field teams. So we're really looking forward to seeing how those athletes develop as the season goes on. We do think some of them can make some pretty big jumps as the season goes on. And then we do have several athletes that are coming over from the cross-country season that are also going to be competing in indoor and outdoor track. And one in particular that stands out from the cross-country side is Isabel Pardoux, qualified for Nationals and individually in cross-country. So we're looking forward to seeing what she can do on the track this year. So this year, we're really looking again to those seniors to be team leaders and just looking at, again, in our sport, they've been training hard since October. So we're really excited to see what they can do this weekend in our first meet. And then throughout the year, we just really look for improvement from week to week from meet to meet. And as coaches, we really get a lot of excitement in just seeing everybody improve as the season goes on. So that's our main goal, is to see everybody improve and hopefully improve on our conference and championship performances from last season.


I'm gonna need a place to sit. Okay. I got you What is up? It is Kim and Garrett Do you like DIY do you like building things making things crafting stuff? Well, so do we so go ahead and give us a like and subscribe and join us every Wednesday and Friday for new things that we build Make and craft last week.  Hey, it's precision All right, this week's cut list crazy easy super simple We're just gonna need four one-by-fours cut to 19 and three sixteenths inch long. We're gonna use those for the aprons And we're gonna need four one-by-fours cut at 19 inches for the legs and four more One four more boards cut at one by three for the legs And then we're gonna need four one-by-fours cut to 16 and nine 16 inches And those are for the stretchers. We're gonna need someplace to sit that ass a Board 19 by 19 inches long plywood And a seat cushion All right, let's put these together We're just gonna need some screws and some some holes All right, we're gonna put together the apron the aprons basically the top frame for the stool We're gonna use the 19 and three sixteenths inch one-by-fours that we cut we're just gonna lay them out and like a Pinwheel formation put some pilot holes in screw them together using some one and a half inch screws I'm gonna lay the boards out and make a mark So I'll know where to put the pilot holes and then I'm just gonna make them countersunk The glue struggles real every time my glue crusts up Give me like an uncrustable glue We use pilot holes and we countersink them so that we don't split the wood and you don't see the head of the nail sticking up And when he talked about pinwheel at the beginning, this is what he meant one side of the board is on the inside One side of the board is on the outside. So you see here it alternates inside outside. All right, we have the apron done Now we're gonna do the bottom frame the structures Same way except we're gonna use the one-by-fours that were cut down to 16 inches We're gonna put them in the same formation pinwheel formation Glue and screw I learned my lesson from last time. I don't have to do one side Making some more pilot holes countersinking them again so that the screw heads are below the surface And we're just going to put it together just like we did the the big one. They're identical One's big one small The larger box goes on the top the smaller one goes on the bottom on the inside. All right structures are done Drilling some pilot holes countersinking them, so we'll be able to attach the legs All right now it's time to attach the legs to the top And we're gonna put some scrap wood in the middle of it. We're using the scrap wood. It's about three-quarters of an inch thick Then we're gonna put our top in It should be a tight fit That way we'll have a little bit of a ledge for the cushion to sit so the cushion won't slide around Now we're using some glue and then some one and a quarter inch screws To use those pilot holes and attach the top to the legs Each leg is a wide board a four inch board and a narrow board a three inch board That consists of each on each corner and then we'll put that stretcher on the inside of those legs and Attach the legs to the stretcher You want to keep those four inch boards both on the same side and the three inch boards both on the same sides All right The legs are on The legs are at least attached to the top. We do for the bottom. We're gonna let You have to get it on the inside Mm-hmm on the bottom Just like that Well now We're gonna drill some pilot holes we're gonna countersink those Then we're gonna come in with some one and a quarter inch screws and some glue and Give each side of the leg two screws You get two screws you get two screws everybody gets two screws and See the legs are on the outside and that stretcher on the inside keeps those legs from collapsing in on themselves Hey, legs are on tops on bottom is on a brand of stretchers Now we're gonna throw the top down. I'm gonna drop it in a little hole. You should have a little egg It was very technical We're gonna put holes in the corners some pilot holes in the corners and screw the top down I'm gonna use a piece of scrap wood right here to mark where the legs will be so that I I will hit them with the pilot hole And then I won't miss the legs when I screw the top into them here in a second And right about now the camera dies because the battery dies We didn't even know So this project cost us about $35 and took us about 35 minutes to assemble and then all we had to do was stain it and finish it Cuz I'm like a sniper I'm gonna need a place to sit. Okay. I got you a place for my drink. Okay. I got you

The price of saffron. As the most expensive spice in the world, saffron is an extremely lucrative product. With limited production and growing demand, the spice has become increasingly vulnerable to adulteration and counterfeits. A look into the darker side of the price spice reveals systemic problems in the spice supply chain. Saffron is a dried spice originating from the Lila Crocus Sativus flower, commonly known as the Saffron Crocus. The delicate red saffron threads are part of the flower stigma and style, which form part of a female flower's reproductive system. Its vivid color and its floral and earthy flavor profile render it a much-loved spice in global cuisine. Saffron gifts paella its distinctive floral flavor and imbues the beloved French bouillabaisse with its aroma. Traced back to the 1500s, saffron was initially produced in Iran and India's Kashmir region and was highly priced for its now-proven medicinal benefits, which includes alleviating depression, treating genitourinary issues, and protecting the retina. Saffron's almost noble status also meant it was used to dye many royal garments, while Buddhist disciples in India also chose saffron as the official color of their robes. Today, saffron is more highly priced for its culinary uses than a sign of status. But still, the exclusivity has created a volatile market that is ripe for exploitation. Why is saffron so expensive? Priced between 7 to 9 Euros per gram for the highest quality saffron, the spice is considered the most expensive in the world. Its growing demand is reflected in the growth and value of Iranian saffron, which rose from 99.8 million in 2012 to 231.9 million in 2018. This is despite stringent sanctions imposed by the US on Iran since 2012 as a result of its nuclear activity, which prevented the import of certain food items, including saffron. Globally, the demand for saffron is also forecasted to grow. By 2028, the saffron market is expected to be worth 637.9 million. The astronomical price of the spice results from a combination of its laborious cultivation process, a short harvesting cycle, and limited availability. Short Harvesting Seasons One of the reasons for its high price is the short harvesting cycle, which occurs only once per year and lasts only two weeks. Saffron crocus bulbs are generally planted in late summer and harvested in autumn and usually require three years from planting to produce the first harvestable flowers. Labor Intensive Each flower contains only three stigmata, found at the center of the flower. As the saffron threads only constitute a very small part of the flower, it requires approximately 75,000 flowers to cultivate just 0.45 kilograms of saffron. The delicate nature of this process also means that stigmata are entirely hand-picked and then carefully laid to be sun or oven-dried. Limited Growing Regions The unique climatic conditions needed to grow saffron are another reason for its cost. With a naturally-suited dry climate and moderate temperatures, Iran has capitalized on the demand for saffron to become the world's largest saffron producer, producing 95 percent of the global market share. The remaining 5 percent is produced by other countries, including Afghanistan, Spain, France, and Italy, all of which produce saffron in varying amounts in quality that contribute to the global market. Afghanistan's unique environmental needs also means it is highly vulnerable to weather fluctuations. Mohammad Salehi, founder of Afghanistan's saffron brand Herai Spice, expressed that 2021 was one of the worst years for saffron cultivation due to droughts and floods. Since climate change is anticipated to bring about more extreme weather events, saffron yield may become increasingly unpredictable, meaning saffron markets will also experience more volatility. Is all saffron the same quality? Not all saffron is created equal. Global variations in quality, paired with saffron's volatile supply and high demand, also make the market a breeding ground for counterfeit and adulterated saffron. Counterfitting Counterfit saffron is especially common in Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Spain, where saffron is considered superior to Iranian varieties and is therefore sold at much higher prices. According to a Kashmir government document, Kashmir's saffron is of superior quality because it's concentration of crocin, the pigment giving saffron its color and medicinal quality. Is 8.72% versus Iran's 6.82%? Intermediaries in the European market have exploited the sanctions on Iran. The intermediaries purchase cheaper Iranian saffron, deliver it to countries such as the Emirates for relabeling, and then send the shipments back to Spain. Though this practice is known, it is rarely regulated. Most loopholes in Spanish law enable producers to import saffron from other countries and relabel them as Spanish. The frequency of such incidents is reflected in the discrepancies in Spanish saffron experts in production. In 2019, Spain exported more than 280,000 kilograms, yet local production amounted to just above 1,500 kilograms. Adulteration Today, saffron is one of the most adulterated food products in the world. A 2011 article from the UK's The Independent found that between 40-90% of Spanish saffron was made up of other residues of the plant instead of the stigma. Mohammad Salehi explains, Sometimes, only 10% is real saffron. The remainder is usually corn silk dyed with food coloring. He also says that safflower, a herb that can be bought at low prices, is used as a substitute too. While international standards for dried saffron are governed by ISO standards under the spices, culinary herbs, and condiments category, the many instances of fraud suggest that the ISO standard is often disregarded or rarely enforced. Some of the reasons include the vague ISO labeling regulations on product packaging and the difficulty of identifying adulterated saffron during the ISO testing process, allowing fake varieties to circulate the market. But how can we differentiate fake saffron from real saffron? Unlike real saffron, which has a subtle taste of honey and a savory undertone, fake saffron often tastes of chemicals and metals to those with a more distinguished palate. Fortunately, there are ways in which even novices can distinguish fake saffron from authentic versions. Mohammad recommends to boil the saffron in hot water and let it set. Usually saffron never dissolves and will not lose its color, whereas corn silk's color will run off and safflower will dissolve and start expanding. Social costs of saffron production, similar to many global food supply chains, and equality is also pervasive in the saffron supply chain. Despite cultivating the world's most lucrative spice, the saffron farmers who painstakingly remove each stigmata from the crocus flower receive only around one percent or less of the sales revenue. This means that for a kilogram of processed saffron, which is priced at 9,000 to 10,000 euros and could take up to 40 hours of labor to produce, farmers only receive approximately 57 cents. Intermediaries, including the saffron middlemen and speculators, are often the main beneficiaries of the trade, since they purchase the saffron in bulk and resell to retailers multiple times the purchase price. Gender disparity Gender disparity is also pregnant in the saffron supply chain. Most of the saffron cultivation process is done by women. In Afghanistan, the critical step of removing the stigmas from the flowers are exclusively done by women, who often move from village to village to undertake this work. In a 2009 study, a saffron business owner stated he preferred female over male workers for the precision, while still paying male workers more than female workers. The systemic gender inequalities in countries such as Iran and Afghanistan mean women often cannot fight for their rights to fair pay and working or living conditions. Not only are they sometimes designated a different space during agricultural farming, but they are also often exploited during trading. Muhammad highlights, I need to remind my buyers in Afghanistan that they cannot try to obtain a lower price for the saffron just because they are dealing with a woman. The future of saffron Luckily, businesses and international organizations are working to fix these systemic issues. Harai Spice, Muhammad's business, works directly with 28 family farms, cutting out the middlemen and paying farmers more than double the average earned by Afghan saffron farmers. Salehi explains, this is a win-win. We can uplift the community while ensuring better quality saffron that will not be rejected for contamination. Several women's associations have also been launched in Afghanistan, providing fair wages, equipment and training opportunities for women. Next time saffron arrives in front of us in the form of paella or saffron chicken, permeating our taste buds with a rich golden flavor, it may also be a good opportunity to bring up the problem of the saffron supply chain so that those who carefully remove saffron stigmata can be better appreciated for their efforts to cultivate red gold.
