I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show right now We got nearly all the U.S. indices trading to the downside the one that is not as a trannies They're up by about two tenths were sent or 28 points. That was off 95 S&P 14 NAS X down 24 Russell's down 9 semis off 33 Gold's off to Silver's off 13 cents to the upside You've got lights recruit up a buck 35 natural gas up 8 cents the 30 your Treasury down nearly two points trading out at 1 2015 now leading the charge dollar wise the upside. We've got Mercado Libre up $121 that's a 10% move Regenerate pharmaceuticals $45 move to the upside or 6% fair Isaac Corp Three and a half percent or 28 bucks Clorox up 15 bucks and Wayfair up 14 and change as well to the downside Leading the charge is booking holdings off 79 bucks nearly 3% Hubspot 48 bucks 9% Equinix 43 bucks 5% plus West Co international 19% or 33 buck runes and coming sink down 24 bucks. That is a 9% move to the downside Of course, I want to look at what you want to look at. What do you want to look at? Well, I'm going to provide to you what I believe is the barrier for the market in moving higher that if crossed We should then get a rally today. So let's get right to it Stevie Let's go ahead and move our charts over to the other panel and we're going to take a look at those 120-minute time frame charts for each of the equity future contracts It's a beautiful thing so to speak and the beautiful thing is look at that oscillator and change line every rally Has run into resistance if price has been able to get up to those levels Those oscillator and change lines are the key areas that the market must overcome in order to Suggest that there will be any kind of sustained rally. So let's take a look at the ESMini upper left-hand side What do we know about it? We know that at 45 25 right now that number is going to move up and down as price moves up and down But it is that oscillator and change which I teach people how to a developer use You should want to learn that just subscribe to mastery and probability if you do it for 30 days It doesn't cost you anything and you're gonna get that Understand that tool really key tool out here So Dan was talking about thinks that the ESMini is going to get green But if it does Dan what price needs to do it needs to close above that and sustain itself above that red Osset and change line now if in fact the ESMini is able to do that It will then have other battles ahead and those other battles are up at 45 32 And 45 43. Is there a bottom pattern inside the 120 minute and Q out here? Not that I have I know that we can do the wave counts. I guess it's at the letter G out here So we'll go with that at this stage of the game if we take a look at the end Q the end Q right now and trading sideways over the last 12 hours plus 14 16 hours 20 hours really the price is right now Starting to trade above that level now this bar it's a two-hour bar And that's kind of the bummer here because you really don't know until the bar comes to close This bar doesn't close until 12 noon Then you'd have 2 p.m. And I will say that all four of these equity future contracts must trade above that line close Above that line in order for there to be any kind of sustained rally At least as I've gone through the charts one of my objectives when I do this show with you is to show you the most pertinent Formation as I scan through my charts and identify where are the real key levels of support or resistance because that's really what is so Important about this game short of is the is the instrument We're looking at making a top or a bottom those really the the four things that I provide for you So watch those also turn change line the end or the end Q is giving us a hint of a suggestion That it wants to do that but these are the key levels by the way inside the ym right now that's printed at 35 361 inside the Russell's at 1971 again those numbers are subject to change now Let's go from here and do a little bit deeper dive and to do that deeper dive Let's go take a look at more of those intraday charts out here see what kind of pattern signals We have now the reason that we want to do that specifically is because the ES mini as we saw Was trading at support now support is the bottom of its daily profile that daily profile is calculated Right now two different ways even though it's using the same data for example on the black background charts We'll shoot I'll just switch over there. We'll just do the old switch Aruni out here I think I showed this to you but if I didn't I most certainly want to and here if we take a look at the ES mini upper panel upper left-hand panel you Will see that prices back at a support level here These are the profile levels calculated by the e-signal TAS system It shows a support zone between 4507 and 45 24 Wait Stevo. You just showed me a different profile on that white background chart I did doesn't that just confuse the all the heck out of you? No, it doesn't it's an additional piece of information That you and I will be able to use so don't think of it as confusing think of it as thank you You just gave us additional piece of information. What do you mean Stevie? I mean if price closed below 45 07 certainly does that for two consecutive sessions Well, then we know what the next price target to the downside would be Now for that we're going to switch back to the white background charts here We'll see that the digit trader system again using the same data is calculated different profile that different profile on a daily basis Comes down at the 44 56 level. So here's the deal the deal is on the ES mini Price has got a close above that 120 minute red oscillator and change line currently printed at 45 25 We know that number is going to change slightly. We also know that the ES mini on the black background charts is sitting at support And so we're taking a look at these white background charts around the intraday time periods looking for bottoming patterns If there's going to be a turn in a market It's going to first take place in those intraday charts For example, we've got a 10 minute 15 30 and 60 as we take a look at the entire bottom row out here And this is one of the things that has the hair on dance next ended up why he believes that the ES mini Will turn green is each of those have bottoming patterns now what they need to do is they must take out resistance levels Where are those resistance levels? Well, let's go with the hardest one to take out and that's going to be at 45 31 And 45 31 is the top of the slightly barest structured 60 minute profile. So we've got 45 31 there and we've got 45 25 right now as the red oscillator and change on the Two-hour timeframe chart. Let's just make it easy. You get a close above 45 31 the market will continue It's rally at least the ES mini see roads with TFN.

So you know, I put those black background charts up on my screen Daily time frames. We know that the ESMini right now is just consolidating with inside profile as is the Russell 2000 as is the Dow equity future contract The only one that is not is the NQ and so that's where we're gonna take and so the NQ is basically the weak link out here And so now we're taking a look at the NQ now what I put up here is an altered short-term time frame If you will and that's the 15 minute time frame and what I asked people inside the den So I posted this so if you were on Tiger TV where you could see this chart At least during the last minute or so of that break out there. My question was What's the 15 minute NQ chart telling us now what I have on this chart? I don't show this chart that often I show it when it's pertinent and what this chart is showing us the green and red Horizontal lines are TD9 count breakdown the breakdown levels would be the green lines The breakout levels would be the red lines out there red line being support green line being resistance here Now why is this important? Well, if you take a look is from the top that was formed out here when I say a top So this is showing us again the TD9 counts So if we take a look at a TD9 count breakdown resistance level, we've got one at 15904 That took place right back here at about 7 30 in the 12 7 30 in the evening back on July the 30th The interesting thing here is take a look at this rally that unfolded at 10 o'clock in the morning on July 31st Where to price run into resistance that TD9 count breakdown level was not able to take it out The next team now can't break out level. You can see here Each of them are tested and rejected with one exception and the one exception lasted for about An hour and that was right here at 15 700. We had a close above it That was at 7 15 in the morning that lasted until about 8 30 so about an hour and 15 minutes What the ES mini did this morning if we take a look at a 15 minute basis this formed a TD9 count bottom It's a jet or a TD9 and it generated a TD9 count breakout level and that was at 15 358 75 price pulled back this morning wasn't able to bust that out You know the expression Tom is shared with us. He's taught to us if you can't bust them down You try to bust them up. Well, that's exactly what has taken place or what did take place here on the 15-minute chart for the NQ Well, the bust them up out here was getting to the TD9 count breakdown resistance level remember ever since July 30th We've only seen a close above a TD9 count breakdown level for an hour and 15 minutes We are clearly above that level right now. This is giving us a hint that at least on this time frame We are seeing a change in trend. So now let's go take a look at the other NQ charts out here And again, this is all taken a look at the intraday time periods So we've covered that basically we've covered the 10 minutes doing the same thing at the 15 minute is so where's the next Resistance area pretty clear. It's a 30-minute level 1507 50 again a TD9 count breakdown area For the NQ if price can overcome that that's at 15507 We may see a close above the top of that NQ profile for its 120-minute time frame chart And that's up at the 15491 level. So 15491 is a real key area in 1507 will make that the more important level 15507 Inside the NQ out here. So that's what we have going on there. Let's not stop here Let's just do one more. Let's take a look at the Dow because that was also testing Profile support this morning and if a bottom is going to form at least a let's call it at least a two-day rally type bottom out there We should see signals on the intraday time periods here. So here again, we're just waiting for these charts to populate I've got a few things running in the background As you could imagine and so we're getting this charts here to populate so we can see right now or I can see visually I can see roads meant to mitigate her signals on the 10 15 30 minute time frame charts here for the Dow equity future contract And so now and also on the 60 minute with the 60 minute is underway right now But assuming that at 12 noon, we still have a bullish reversal candle it too would confirm that type of a bottom So where's the key resistance area? Excellent question. It's still going to be the Red Osset or and change on that 120-minute chart. I don't care how you slice it and dice it. That's really the most important number I could first tell you it would be 35 357 and I just told you that and that's the top of the 60-minute profile, but that's really not the area. That's going to be important It's going to be 35 370 or thereabouts that number is going to go higher as price moves higher. So what do we want to call it? Great question. I for for our purposes right now I'd have to call it 35 403, which is the bottom of that 120 minute depth profile So right now inside the Dow equity future contract, we just have a counter trend move that's going on I believe that the counter trend moves Turning us up in more than a counter trend or a counter trend that lasts for a while again Perhaps two days out there if we get all four equity future contracts to close above the 120-minute charts Oscillator unchanged line levels out there. So that's a brief maybe more than a brief review of where we're at inside The equity markets out there. Let's get to the only question that has come in so far Of course, I would love more<PHONE_NUMBER> any kind of private message or regular public message inside the den Would work and by email at steve at tfn.com. Okay Hector I see that you have sent in a request as well So let's get to the first request coming from peak G inside the tiger stand and peaks question was and is I'm gonna change charge for this Where are the where's the 30-year Treasury and a 10-year note headed to so here? Whoops This we're gonna change those black background charts here momentarily it just shows the a to b equal CD pattern That's in place for the 30-year. So let's move over to that. I'll just switch to We'll just switch right here. I'll just simply expand this chart. So here's the September contract That's not even September contract. I've got that Let me do this here. They come up here. I want us to put in the September contract You 23 Just make sure there's no funny shenanigans because what I was using was my synthetic Symbol out there which stitches together the futures contract. Just want to make sure no no funny games out here So we got our a point the high from April the 6 are b points gonna be the low from May 26 And it makes a rally into June 1st. It was about a 46 percent rally So you can see the one-to-one a to b equal CD pattern inside a 30-year Treasury peak if this level now What's required here in order for this to bottom in order for rates to top would be for a bullish reversal candle to form? So that's the first thing that we'd be looking for short of that price may do more than a one-to-one a to b equal CD That next price projection level you're asking where my price head to that would turn out to be 1793 now, let's put up the note out here the 10-year note Let's do kind of a similar thing although it doesn't till my recollection does not have any to be equal So what does I take that back? It has an a to b equal CD down pattern that was formed and tested back here on July 6 That swing point is also being tested now. What happens if price closes below this level? Well, there's a couple different things one that the larger a to b equal CD would give you a price projection of 10880 the smaller a to b equal CD Let's go draw that in in essence here the smaller one you would start with your a point Being or you could start with your a point being the high from June 1st What we used for the c-point and the low is going to be that low from July 6 and the high looks like it's the High that came in on July 18 that would give us a one-to-one down at about 108 41 So this one 1013 level is a real key area to be watching observing peak G in the a 10-year note When we get back to this break, we'll switch over to those white background charts I'll show you what's going on there with regard to the 30-year bond at a 10-year note Steve Rhodes with TFNM Hope you're right back report as a precious metal gold is still king It continues to hold the most effective safe haven and hedging properties across the global major trading hubs of the London OTC market the u.s.

You got the dow down 41 recipes off seven nasdaq wanted up eight the trainees are up 81 Russell's off six semis are down 16 Let's go take a look at those 30-year treasury charts out there. My apologies. I'm in the wrong spot We'll pull those up here. You know what we're going to do for that We're going to look at the multi time frame set of charts out here So we know that price has made a one to one a to b equal cd And so when you get to an area where you could see a bottom What you do is you look to those intraday charts, right? They look at the intraday charts see what kind of signals they're providing So along the bottom panel here. We've got 10 15 30 and 60 You can see that each of those have or are generating Rogement and indicator bottom patterns out here So the first step is taking place on a two-hour time frame at a four-hour time frame We have bar number eight. That is in the process of completing So there could be a td nine count bottom on the 240 minute chart that wouldn't take place until 4 p.m This afternoon so that's a possibility and on the two hour time frame chart That could take place by ball by four. You could have the pattern complete by four but by two you would know out here so The five-hour chart it shows that we have a wave number seven That's going to extend itself. So with the 30 or treasury making the one-to-one move out here peak um What we are taking a look at is it's attempt it is attempting To form a bottom. Well steve can you do that 15 minute magic you did for us on the nq out there? Well, if we did that we'd be taking a look at this chart out here And on this chart with this shows that the 30 year treasury needs to close above to suggest even for a 15 minute time frame That there's some type of change in trend would be a close above 121 at 10 if it did that 121 23 would be the number. So there's a possibility Of a of a bottom that is well, we know that the bottom is attempting to form the daily still needs that Bullets reversal candle, but I would watch those intraday charts out there now That's what's going on on the 30 year if we take a look at the 10-year note That's going to take a few moments here to populate But that's okay We know that the 10-year note was testing a prior swing low that had generated a by the d-point pattern We know that it's generated by the d-point pattern because it formed a three Because it formed a bullish engulfing candle at that one-to-one a to b equal cd Now what's really key here is can price hold support turns out that support On the 10-year note for the september contract is really going to be down at 1109 We're at 11012 as we speak right now So you really want to see price hold that level but as prices come back to a prior swing point area We can see some bottoming signals on the intraday charts For example the 15 minute the 30 minute the 60 minute those already have confirmed roads went to indicator bottom patterns At 12 noon you might get the same on the two hour time frame chart and at 2 p.m You could get the same on the four hour time frame chart out there Wave seven on the five hour charts going to extend itself So just like the 30 year the 10 year does have bottoming signals But price is going to need to overcome resistance levels on the z n I would say for the september contract that number because it's already been tested and rejected once on a counter trend move And you can see that out there and that's at the 11020 level So I'd say peak if price can close over 11020 We may in fact indeed have a bottom or bottom that lasts for at least a couple of sessions out here In the 10-year note as well as the 30-year treasury So I hope that helps you out with regard to all of that information if not right back And I'll be happy to try to provide whatever I wasn't able to this time around So again, thanks for that. Let's go to our next question that has come in this is from hector And uh, let's get over to that set of charts out here That set of charts going to start us with conical. Well, that's the wrong set of charts Let's try this one more time Uh, and the question let's read the questions from hector. He says happy thirsty thursday same to you Conical Phillips on a daily, please. What are your thoughts and silver on a daily if you have time? Thanks, never great day. You do as well. Well on conical Phillips is pretty simple. Uh, hector You've got a confirmed td9 count top What price consolidating with inside its daily profile that consolidation range is between 1242 and 1569 All right one 1698 boom Now in order for on a daily basis conical Phillips be on its merry way to the upside price must negate his td9 count top That would require a close above 118 25 If price were to close below 1242 at the bottom of that daily profile hector You'd be looking and move to 110 20. That's its breakout level of support The weekly time frame chart for conical Phillips has an a to b equal cd pattern It needs a bearish reversal candidate to confirm atop short of that price is Trading in or attempting to trade into its swing point from january 27 in any close on a weekly basis Above 118 64 which suggests to run all the way up to that high on the monthly time frame conical Phillips is Bullish we'll call it bullish to neutral. It has a roadsman to mitigate her top, but it's more neutral um It's more I said both bearish to neutral, but it's more neutral than it is bearish Why because the roadsman to mitigate her top took price back to support the support zone It's a bullish structured profile and on a monthly base for conical Phillips that's between 83 47 and 9507 So that moved to the downside has ended Now what price needs to do and it did it last month that closed above the top of that profile That's a bullish outcome And if it can hold that green oscillator and change line this month as well Odds favor a run back up to the high but that will not occur until we see the td9 count of the daily time frame negated Which right now is just trading in a consolidation between 112 42 and 115 15 So hector, I hope that that helps you out with regard to conical Phillips You also want to take a look at slv and we will do that I will go to the slv charts, but I would prefer to go to the silver charts So first we'll go take a look at silver. We'll pull those up here We'll see our eight panel set of charts. We've got monthly weekly daily An intraday time periods on a monthly chart for silver. You can see that price is sitting at sport I'm going to try this. Let me see if I can get enough data here because it should show us a different result Let me see what kind of data I can pull up on the september contract for the monthly time frame really not much But on the monthly time. Yeah, so let's just let's we'll pass that on a weekly time frame The weekly time frame shows that price is trading below its bullish structured profile out there So that would be signaling to you and I that it wants lower price silver that is In the case of the silver the silver contract What I don't have is any kind of a to b equal cd pattern You might see one or what looks like one But the problem is the retracement here This would have to be and really quite frankly You'd almost have to use the same b point and c point the same candle for that That's theoretically you could use this is your b point the july 24th low But see this this retracement up here in silver That was like an 85 percent retracement once you get past point seven eight six It really is not an a to b equal cd pattern out there So we don't have any kind of a pattern inside the daily silver contract when we go to slv Because that only trades for six and a half hours there We can find an a to b equal cd pattern, but on the actual silver contract We cannot does that mean anything yet?

So here we pull up the charts for the slv We're going to see a clearly defined a to b equal cd pattern again It trades definitely the silver contract silver contracts the underlying instrument the slv takes its orders from the silver contract So it might trade gld. It might trade slv if you do Please get access to the gold contract go to trade the contract We get access to it so that at least the patterns that you're identifying really replicate What is going on inside the market? But to the slv you do have an a to b equal cd prices attain the one to one level This would tell you that you need a bullish reversal candle to confirm a bottom a gartly buy pattern Short of that the next level of support Well price is sitting at support on a monthly time frame. It's that green oscillator and change lines So what price needed price is going to head lower. We need to see a close below 21 63 That's going to change by a few pennies If price and really what we really need to see is a close below 21 42 That's the top of that monthly profile if we do see that that is a close below 21 42 Then 21 14 will be next up and that 21 14 is the bottom of that weekly profile So hector and patty, I hope that helped you out with regard to the slv Thanks so much for taking the time to write in and I will look forward to fielding your next question Speaking of next questions this next one comes in from nancy inside the tigers and a nancy writes and says steve Apple if you have time, we're going to make the time It seems to have almost completed a one-to-one down on your 30 minute charts You had projected 198 Appears to be trying to do a weak rally interday. Could you see what it might do over the next few days? Whoa, that's a challenge earnings are after the belt tonight all right, so Sorry to chew ice I took the swig of water and the ice slipped through And I don't like swallowing ice I don't dare to chew it that much but when it gets in there and you're doing a show Not too much else to do All right, so with regard to apple first Let's take look what's going on in a daily weekly because they're coming out with numbers And that's going to be perhaps more important than the 30, but I'm going to answer your 30 minute question as well On a daily time frame what we know about apple is this has a confirmed rogment to indicator top It triggered that signal back on july 19th And it took all the way until this trading day of july 27th to generate that topping pattern to confirm that topping pattern Why because it was a bearish reversal candle What price is doing right now? Nancy is consolidating with inside its daily profile What I can share with you is apple has very strong support between 189 45 and 191 40 If that level of support fails after the bell or at 430 Then price will target its breakout level and that's at 180 501 It would only be a close below its breakout level Nancy at 180 501 That would trigger or signal to you and I that there is problems in paradise paradise being apple On a weekly time frame chart thus far We have a TD9 count top with price pulling back and testing support and support is both the top of its profile And its green oscillator and change line that's currently printed at 190 and change 190 89 is what's printed on my screen at the moment on a monthly time frame. There is no top A bearish reversal candle at months in and hits only the 3rd of august So we got a long time to go that would then trigger a rogment to indicator top with support being 184 So we've got 180 501 as a breakout level of support and 184 as a monthly oscillator and change line Those are the really important levels out there to watch how apple responds after the bell If it responds poorly does price break through those levels out there now Maybe it doesn't after the bell tomorrow morning can be a whole different thing when the cash market opens So always be careful if however, apple decides to trade higher And trades above and close well It won't close above today, but it starts trading above 1 97 20 the road not to get not the high out here that formed The high of the bearish engulfing candle what it engulfed it did not engulf that candle from july 19th So the resistance level is really the high of that candle july 27th 197 20 If price closes above that that'll suggest a further rally However, we have to go back now to the weekly time frame chart And here we see that td9 count top and that's where it gets us to that all-time high at 198 23 So in order for apple to truly be on its merry way if price closes is trading above 198 23 That would be a very bullish outcome Now your specific question was about the 30 minute chart as well You're asking me where's apple going to go for the next couple days Right now with the information that we have at hand It's going to consolidate with inside its daily profile I don't have any other reason to tell you something otherwise After assessing what's going on the weekly and the monthly time frame chart That doesn't mean that's what it's going to do after earnings are reported But that's the only thing that I can share with you is that we've got to consolidate with inside that profile level now To your 30 minute time frame chart The 30 minute time frame chart if I were going to draw on an a to b equal cd And I'm going to explain this to you as we go to the black background charts because there I can use my tool I do not have the same a to b equal cd pad that you do for the 30 minute time frame The only one that I can see at this stage of the game is the one that I've drawn in here And that would take us down into about the 188 level now You may ask the question why or why is that a possible a to b equal cd? So for that what I'm going to do is we're going to switch over to the black background charts So if you give me just a moment Nancy will do that And then you'll be able to see and perhaps I'll be able to share with you Something that you hadn't considered in drawing your a to b equal cd patterns Now a to b equal cd patterns are completely subjective But there are sets of rules and some of those rules are one of those rules And we referred to that earlier is on that retracement that retracement of b to c It's got to be less than a 0.786 retracement once it gets above that It's like it's making a hundred percent move of a move in other words more of a consolidation So As an example right now if you were to have chosen And I don't know if this is what you chose or not We'll we may find out when we see the price come up if you would have chosen the high from 9 30 to morning on july 27th is your a point in your b point being this low out here at 15 30 In the afternoon on july 27 And then we got to find the next highest high that forms after that it looks to me like it's this high right here Which is on august the first that's going to be the c point and that is a 90 percent retracement That would have given you 192 and change out there, but that's not really an a to b equal c I don't want you to do to use that I'd rather use the true a to b equal cd patterns that are out there For the for whatever time frame The real a to b equal cd patterns because we know we need to at least have less than a 0.786 retracement Let me actually get rid of this one. Let's put in the one that I had drawn in there So again, I'm going to use that same high Uh, am I going to use that same high? Yeah, I'm going to use that same high Out here, which was from uh, September 20 july 27 at 9 30 in the morning and now for the b point It's going to be either the low at the 12 noon session that low was 191 85 196 so 191 85 that would be the b point. Let's see what kind of retracement we have out here This might not be a valid one either 26 percent no, you've got to at least have a 0.382 Retracement in order for this to truly be an a to b equal cd pattern So what I would propose is that the 30 minute time frame chart does not have an a to b equal cd pattern That is in play out here. Well, what is in play stevo? Excellent question Let's go back and look at that 30 minute time frame chart because what did form at the bottom out here Is a rose momentum indicator pattern and that was confirmed as we came into the 11 30s session So Nancy if your question was did apple on a 30 minute basis form a bottom it did It was not the buy the d point pattern It was a rose momentum indicator pattern and the key level of resistance for you right now That's going to be the top of that 30 minute profile. That's at 193 26 So hope that helps you out with regard to a to b equal cds as well as what apple's doing on a 30 minute basis And then the time frames to watch for earnings after the bell tonight and tomorrow See roads with tf&n be right If you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market then rocket equities and options report is a newsletter You should try tom.

Well as of 11 55 It has not it's trading with inside his bullish structure daily profile on a weekly basis though You've got a td9 count top like many of the stocks inside the nasdaq 100 But price is not broken through any level of support. You've got a consolidation between 122 23 and 133 45 I'd watch the 122 23 levels to the downside if amazon disappoints it could target 109 25 That's its breakout level and on a monthly basis You've got a good old fashion consolidation with inside of profiles a couple questions came in very late here I won't be able to get to all of them one was about disney. Where's an entry point out here Top let's see you've got a swing point that price is trading into from a july 25th volume or 15 million shares So far you're pulling back with five million shares. That's too much volume That's about similar volume out there. You'd love to see a test and rejection of that swing point from july 25th That means pokes below 85 16 close the back above it with less than 15 million shares out there And then the next one if I can fit this in real quickly here was a take look at billy bi li Where's a buy point? You know what? There's not enough time. We'll try to get to those We will get to those tomorrow as well as roku for lee and just so you guys know those emails came in relatively late mostly because of our highest pi we guess folks have a terrific thursday I'll see you on fantastic writing.

We're going to see what they have in two years. This is the new ambassador to China. General Joe. Spokesman. Chief of mission. You know our ambassador. We had one several days. We're going to see what we have. That's great hearing that. Mr. Sid. Howard Baker. Howard Baker. I know we're very impressed with the time. It's probably as bad as mine. Yes. Thank you. I know you, as I say, it was two years ago in a body. We met.  We have a spirit house that we acquired in your country back when we visited there some years ago. I think it's been taken care of us.  I said I had been meeting with Secretary and I think many things that have been written by the Prime Minister, but what I wish to tell you about the refugee problem that you heard in your mind, that we like to reinforce a silent country. But we need to ask you to help us in trying to increase the rate of takeoff in your country.


Hi guys, today I am announcing that I am putting on a nursing back to school giveaway. I have been planning this for a while now if you've been following me on my Instagram and I am super excited because I know a lot of you are starting nursing school up in the next couple of days, couple of weeks, or you're already in nursing school and you're going back for your fall semester and these are all items that I really love and believe in and use and wish I had when I was in nursing school slash just really love in general. So I'm excited to share with you guys the giveaway items. If you're interested in entering all of the details will be down below. If you want an additional chance at winning I am also doing the same exact giveaway on my Instagram account so you can go check out my Instagram which is down below as well and look for the post and the entering instructions and enter on there. So the first item and every nursing student, every nurse whoever you are can benefit from this is a pair of scrubs and these scrubs are from WearFigs. It's one of my favorite brands and they were generous enough to give away a pair of scrubs to the winner of your style and color and size and all that. So I'm excited that a pair of scrubs is going to be in this giveaway. So make sure you're following WearFigs on their Instagram which will have linked below as well because they host a lot of giveaways themselves on their own Instagram and I just love their scrubs. The next item is a pair of nursing scissors. This is a must-have. This is one item that I didn't realize how important it was until I became a nurse but I cannot go a shift without having a pair of nursing scissors and using them at least a handful times. The next item is this little nursing pocket watch and you can actually clip it to like your stethoscope or your shirt or whatever and I've seen a lot of nurses that have these and I like them because you can wipe it off. It's flexible and you always are checking the time and looking at the time when you're a nurse. The next giveaway item are these cute headbands. There's four of them total and I've been wearing these a lot. Again if you see me on my Instagram you know and have seen these pictures of me wearing all these headbands. Headbands are nursing must have in my opinion because you need to keep your hair back and I think headbands just make your hair a little bit cuter when you already can only like do so limited things to it when you go to clinicals or work as a nurse because you have to have your hair up and so I'm been obsessed with these headbands. I think they're super cute and easily matched just a plain pair of scrubs anyway. So I love these. The next item and I discovered these when I started working in the ICU are these little sharpies. So many of you guys have been asking me where I get these sharpies from and I am including these in the giveaway and they're from Amazon too if you were trying to find them. But you can hook them onto your badge and it's just nifty so whenever I'm labeling like dressings or sending stuff off to lab and need to sign it I have my sharpie just on my badge and I can just take it off and put it right and put it back on. The next items that I'm including are a couple of these awesome pens. These are one of my favorite pens to write with but you can never have too many pens as a nurse as a nursing student. You should always have pens on you because you're gonna be signing things and just you need them in general. So I'm including a couple of these pens and the next item is this cute water bottle. I think this thing is so freaking cute. Like I want to go buy one for myself but it's one of those it's not a hydro flask. It's not like the name brand hydro flask but it's one of those really well insulated bottles and I like that it's smaller because it's like easily can fit in your purse or your backpack and it's not super chunky and it's so cute. Like I love this color. I think it's like robin egg blue but yeah obsessed. The last and final item is this cute planner. I could not live without my planner and I wish I had this one now that I like see it I really want this one instead of my other one but I'll finish my other one. I just have a couple more months but it's for 2017 2018 and it starts in August so you can start using it right away which I like. I hate when you buy a planner and you can't use it for a couple months or you buy it and it's already been like you know six months into the year and you're like well I just have to skip through so you can start using it right away and it's got that cute like marble print on it that's super popular right now and the gold which is also popular and it's just really nice. I could not live without a planner and keep being track of all my day-to-day events and work schedule and all that stuff. So that is the giveaway and again all the details are down below on how to enter. I'm super excited to be sharing this with you guys and doing this for you so make sure you tell your friends to enter. Give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys next time. Bye!


Hello friend! Today we're gonna be doing a very exciting video and it's inspired by my favorite makeup YouTuber, Julia Adams, who does tournaments for like each category of makeup to do bronzer tournaments, blush tournaments. And today we're gonna be doing a five-star tournament. We're gonna be doing a bracket tournament of all of my five stars I've had so far this year to see what comes out on top. Now I do want to say I originally scheduled when I was planning out my videos, I scheduled this video for August. But for this bracket I wanted 16 entries to make it equal on all sides. I've just decided to go ahead and do this video now before it gets to the end of the year because I've still only had 13 five stars this year. This is what trauma looks like. We know I've been having this problem so on the bracket I have per three, my top three four point fives that probably should just be fives if I'm honest, like I kind of view them as fives. I have put those in as well and who knows, I could pick them over one of the five stars based on the vibes today. I was looking actually on my reading tracker for last year and at this point last year I had had 24 five stars. I've had 13, that's almost double. I've almost had double the five stars last year that I've had so far this year. It's been a rough year but I'm hoping some of my videos and some of my books that I'm reading towards the end of this year may emerge supreme but it's pretty heartbreaking. I'm hoping for some more five stars but with this bracket tournament as you can see we've got pairs that'll go up against each other. I think I know what will end up winning. I think I know it's my favorite book so far this year but I'm more interested to see what wins out of the other pairings. I'll give you a brief synopsis of each of the books as we go through them and what I thought of them but yeah shall we just get into it? I'm really excited. Pairing number one, we have got Legends and Lattes by Travis Bowdry versus The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D Jackson. Okay so Legends and Lattes, I mean we all know what that is. It's a cozy fantasy about awkward with a coffee shop. It was the first book I read this year and it continued my trend that I like to try and achieve of my first book year being five stars. It's very important to me. I'm very superstitious. I will not have a good year if my first book year isn't five stars. It's really is a lot of pressure. It's a conspiracy theory that I'm actually interested in. So I have to read one that I know is going to be five stars so I loved that one. I just I still have such fond memories of reading it. It is a hug of a book. I mean everyone loves it and rightly so. It is just, I don't even, it's perfection. I can't put it into words. It is a perfect book. It is lovely. It is heartwarming. It is cozy. It is meaningful. It's incredible and I wish I've read more cozy fantasy this year and like nothing has compared. You know, nothing has reached the heights of it. It set such a high barrier for me but The Weight of Blood I did really love and it was an important book for me because Tiffany Jackson has always been an author whose synopses I've loved, right? I'd read two other books from her before this and I think they'd been a two and a three.  I don't know. I hadn't really loved either of them and so I said I'd give myself an ultimatum when I read The Weight of Blood because I said like if I don't love this I'm not going to read Tiffany Jackson again because it's not fair, right? It's not fair on author for me to like keep picking up this stuff if I'm not enjoying it because chances are I'm not going to enjoy the next book. You know what I mean? And this is a Carrie retelling and I just loved it. I thought the writing was wonderful. I thought it was a great YA horror. The mix media in it was great. I mean granted I have not read Carrie so I don't know what, how much I loved The Weight of Blood was like stuff that it had taken from Carrie that I was like oh my god that's so imaginative but it's something that Carrie does, do you know what I mean? But I loved it but we know what the win is gonna be and it's gonna be legends and lattes. Like I think that trend is going to continue. There's no way I'm gonna leave here. No way. So next pairing is The Burning Issue of the Day versus The Mysterious Case of the Alpeton Angels by Janice Hallett which I looked up. It still isn't out in the US. I'm sorry for all of you in the US who like I've made want to read it. I try not to talk about it too much because all of Janice Hallett's books are like a year behind publishing in the US which makes no sense to me. Anyways The Burning Issue of the Day is a Lady Hardcastle mystery. This one was with suffragettes, like one of, a suffragette or suffragists. I'm not sure which one they were but one of them was accused of murder and Lady Hardcastle and her maid flow are trying to prove that it wasn't her basically. They're trying to help them out. This is my favourite Mad Mystery series. At this point it's a series that's great for some of its parts. Like the series is a five star series to me. I love Lady Hardcastle. I love her maid flow. I love their dynamic. I love the historical setting. I kind of alternate. I feel like now between giving these a five and a 4.5 like they the books individually may not be like a five star but the series is a five star. The audiobooks if you're gonna read these I always say if you're gonna read these read them via the audiobooks. I get the physical and the audio because I love them so much but if you want to try them out try them out with the audiobook because the audiobook narrator is incredible. The mysterious case The Abbot and Angels is a mixed media book entirely through mixed media about oh the synopsis is always so hard but basically there was a cult where people died and there was a baby and it's journalist trying to uncover the truth and trying to find out who the baby is because the baby was like put into like the care system to figure out who the baby was all these years on. And this one I think is an easy battle because I think it's gonna go to the mysterious case The Abbot and Angels because like I said the burnish day kind of gets a five star because the series is a five star not because the book is necessary. I don't know I don't know how to describe it. It's it's a softer five star. I love them dearly but it's greater than the series is greater than the sum of its parts whereas the mysterious case The Abbot and Angels was the first time I'd ever given Janice Hallett a five star and I just thought the twists and turns throughout the book were paste really well. The mixed media had a lot of variety which had been a problem for me with Janice Hallett before so the mysterious case The Abbot and Angels wins. The next pairing is interesting we've got nothing to see here by Kevin Wilson versus Snow White Learns Witchcraft by Theodora Gross. I don't know which one I'm gonna go with for this so nothing to see here. It's a weird magical realismy, fabismy book about this woman who helps out an old friend of hers by looking after the woman's stepchildren who spontaneously combust. She like moves into the house to look after these kids and the kids spontaneously combust and it's a story of found family and a story of love love transcending blood and you know really how to be there for kids who have gone through severe trauma is what the book is about and it's also this like weird like sapphic undertones to it. I have a gay bone and I need to explore that a little bit more. I really enjoyed it Snow White Learns Witchcraft is by Theodora Gross, if you know the name author of my favourite series ever, The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter, the Athena Club series and this one's short stories and poems. Oh this one's okay. There was I think in this all of the short stories were like five stars I rated them individually as I went along. There was I remember one that's like it's all based on fairy tales and like you know Snow White's Sleeping Beauty. There's a sleeping beauty one where like it goes through the perspective of all the different characters and different elements within the Sleeping Beauty story that there's one from the I think the perspective of the castle. There's one from the perspective of the the thing that sleeping beauty pricks her finger on. Can't remember that. It was really interesting. The Snow White one was really interesting. I loved I loved loved loved the short stories in this and it was amazing reading more from Theodora Gross because she doesn't have any other novels other than the Athena Club series which like breaks my heart but it was really fun to read more from her but the poems were like I don't know I don't often give poems five stars so I decided to give this five stars more based on the short stories in it so I think I'm gonna have to go with nothing to see here but that's a tricky one. That's a tricky one. I think I've got to go with nothing to see here like Kevin Wilson but I'm not sure. I just think nothing to see here was you know then it's easier for me to pick that because the whole novel was five stars whereas with Snow White and Stratocraft with an anthology you're never going to give every single item in an anthology five stars you know there's going to be things you prefer to other other parts so I gave it a five star as a rating because I did love it but not everything in that was a five star so I think we've got to go with nothing to see here. Next one is Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in Equate English Verge by Maureen Johnson and J Cooper and Finley Donovan is Killing It by El Cozumano. Okay interesting one so your guide to not getting murdered in an equate English village is like a little graphic novel almost kind of taking the mick out of the murder mystery genre which I love I loved this it's so fun I'll take like 20 minutes to read if you get your hands on it and it goes through like the traditional suspects the house the locations the murder weapons and it's like making fun of it I loved it. Ah that's history. I love anything that makes fun of a genre I love murder mysteries that kind of poke fun at the murder mystery genre or think of an imaginative way to like use the the tropes that you see a lot in the genre and I just thought this was so much fun I loved it I'd love to read more stuff like this but Finley Donovan is Killing It you know is a book that you guys told me to read for years and years and years I still haven't read the sequel but I own the next one and I loved Finley Donovan is Killing It it's my kind of book and you all knew it would be you know it's fun ridiculous I loved the drama of it I cannot wait to continue in the series I think Finley Donovan is Killing It has got to win because again it just feels more major you know oh Flippity Jim okay I think the next pairing is the most difficult one of these initial pairings we've got the T-Dragon Festival by K. O'Neill versus The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz I can't I can't make this decision please I can't make this decision these are up there as some of my favourite books of the year these might even be like my second third favourite book so yeah I don't know how I'm supposed to decide oh I don't know so the T-Dragon Festival you guys know is a graphic novel part of a graphic also is that I love where you're following these T-Dragons you can like brew tea and following these characters who live in the towns with them and this was just beautiful beautiful graphic novel I loved it so much her novel is always really inclusive there's a character in this so I think his death and the whole village has learned sign language to be able to communicate with them I just love what these stories say I love their messaging I just love they're my favourite graphic novels I love Heartstuff as well let me not get it myself but I do love them and The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz is wackadoo I know it's wackadoodle time okay it's wackadoodle time it's wackadoodle time it is wackadoodle time The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz is about these women who go to this like prestigious writing retreat and shit starts occurring I don't even know where to stop this one um it's very controversial it's not high enough rating to be nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards which is very heartbreaking by the way guys I said this on my um Instagram story yesterday but the other night I had a dream about the Goodreads Choice Awards like nominees being announced and uh and it was like really obscure books for the mystery thriller category it was like books I'd never heard of and I'd never felt such panic but the one book that was nominated that I had heard of was The Last Devil to Die by Rich Los Men and I was like well at least now anyways that it was like a crazy dream it was so vivid anyways this okay this is so tricky because I feel so defensive of The Writing Retreat because it's got such low rating everyone hated it um but I loved it I think it's genius I think it's incredible um but I love The Tea Dragon series it's like how do I choose I'm gonna go with The Writing Retreat because I don't remember the entire plot of The Tea Dragon the festival like I can't remember all the elements of the plot and so as much as I love it I feel like The Writing Retreat I have a better memory of it so I feel like that one has got to go ahead that was horrible that was like heart crushing next pairing is The Unsinkable Greta James by Jennifer Smith and Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson okie dokie so The Unsinkable Greta James is a contemporary which I loved so much it's about this woman whose mum has recently died and her parents are booked to go on this cruise together and she kind of goes in her mum's place and it's to do with her grief for her mother it's to do with her dad's grief for her mother she's also famous like a famous singer and it's a famous fame whatever but I was more interested in the grief aspect of it and I bawled like multiple times like sobbing, sobbing, sobbing I'd be crying like it really got me I thought it was subtly poignant but like also it's not you know this is this is one of the five stars I feel hesitant to recommend because it is like a fairly simple book I don't think everyone's gonna love it but like it hit me it got me on the day that I needed it you know um Her Majesty's Royal Coven is about a witchy coven well witches it's about witches it's about the governmental like department of witches but it's also just about this group of witchy friends who grew up together and were following all their different lives in this storyline and I think I've got to put forward Her Majesty's Royal Coven because I would more widely recommend it to people you know what I mean I I'd more widely recommend that people pick that one up I'm more confident in my in my recommendation of it but I loved the writing I love the plot there's a there's a whole route that this book goes down that I don't talk about because I think it should be you should you should go into this book not really knowing about it it's I wouldn't call it a spoiler but I think you're reading experience would be much better if you don't I didn't know it was going to go down that route in that direction so but yeah I loved it next one okay so we've got a last five star which is Emma by Jane Austen I haven't spoken to you guys about this because I just read it at the start of October and it was for my patreon book club so I spoke about it over there I did a discussion live show and a reading vlog over there but you guys weren't I haven't spoken to about it I kept it a secret and we got the first of our four point five stars which is the house of good bones now you would think I would just immediately pick the five star but not necessarily so Emma has become one of my favorite classics it was a soft five star in that I was like I don't know if this is like five star five star but it's like a five star classic for me I loved it it is about a girl called Emma who's like meddling in romantic affairs around her and it's very interesting because it's kind of Jane Austen's version of an unlikable narrator unlikable main character um which is a very interesting choice for her to have made and it's made me obsessed with Jane Austen like I'm ready to fall down the Jane Austen rabbit hole I've been watching Jane Austen documentaries I want to read Jane Austen like non-fiction I'm obsessed now house of good bones by T. King Fisher I loved as well it's a horror book about a woman who returns home and her mother is acting weird and like acting like her old racist grandma like there was weird stuff going on in the house but I have got to go with the five star which is Emma I loved it I was so shocked by how much I loved it it's funny it's funny Jane Austen's funny she's like a comedian she said let me write some jokes I loved it and then our final two which are 4.5 stars but like really on another day these would be five stars you know what I mean all of these 4.5s I really should just have given them all five stars we've got the Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires and a Mexican Gothic by Silva Rene Garcia Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires you've probably heard of both these they're both kind of horror-esque Southern Book Club's guide is about this group of mums who run a book club and maybe a vampire moves into town and maybe they have to like kill him this is kind of what the title tells you but like I loved the look at I think it's in the 1990s and the look at a woman's role and the role of a mother in this time the expectations on them it definitely examines that a lot and in Mexican Gothic you guys know hang on spoilers we're following a character Noremi is that her name whose cousin has married this guy and she's getting bad vibes so she decides to go visit her cousin where she's now living with that guy's family and it's a horror and it's creepy and it's weird I think I'm gonna go with the Southern Book Club's Guide this is like out of all my 4.5s of the year the one that should have been a five star I think I read it a little bit broken up but I think if I'd read it like the whole way through unbroken and a bit quicker I think it absolutely would have been a five star okie dokie now these like we're gonna speed up a little bit now because I don't have to give you the synopsis should we speed it up a little bit okay oh legends and lattes versus a mysterious case the aptan angels um it's gonna be legends and lattes it's not really difficult is it I love mysterious case of an angels but legends and lattes it just did something to me I can't wait to reread it and reread it and reread it I can't wait for book shops and bone dust to come out guys already got pre-ordered but I probably won't read it this year before the end of the year um which is like rude but but I am um I'm really excited for it I'm a bit nervous because it is a prequel and I sometimes struggle with prequels because I feel like nothing is going to shock me because if anything shocking were to have happened I would have known about it in the other book you know what I mean so I am a bit nervous about that but legends and lattes next pairing nothing to see here by Kevin Wilson versus Finley Donovan is killing it this one is tricky this one is tricky nothing to see here is a book that I feel like I can recommend to like a lot of people in my life like it's probably the book out of all of these here that I feel like I can recommend to my mom to my boyfriend's mom to like grandparent like a friend like I feel like it's a book that's very widely recommendable so that's in its favor but Finley Donovan is more my kind of book I think it's doing more of what I love and I think it's examining the genre that I love and tropes that I love a bit more so I think I'm gonna go which Finley Donovan is killing it that's what I'm gonna go with okie dokie oh look it's like it's like mirrored because they followed the same path okay the writing retreat versus Her Majesty's Royal Coven again Her Majesty's Royal Coven is the one I would recommend more widely I think I gotta go with the writing retreat here I just I feel so defensive of her I just think she deserves the world and everything more I just I don't understand well I do understand why everyone hates it but I don't I'm an acquired taste you don't like me acquire some taste I just loved it I just think oh it's so wonderful it just is crazy and it's weird and it's wacky and it's like I always picked pitched it as Catherine House meets Bunny it's got the kind of female relationship weird kind of like dependent strange dynamic relationship female relationship of Bunny and it's got the weirdness and the unsettling and the like claustrophobia and like not everything kind of making sense of Catherine House so I would rightly recommend it and then we've got Emma versus something but Clubs Guys and Vampires this one's tricky this one could actually go either way um but I think I'm in my Jane Austen era so I've got to go with Emma you don't get it you don't get it I love her I've watched like our long Jane Austen documentaries Lucy Worsley I was saying this what video was I saying I think I was saying it to my patrons in the video but um Lucy Worsley is my favorite historian I don't know if that's weird to have a favorite story that's not normal and I think you know she maybe gets some help or something she's the one who did the Agatha Christie book which I haven't read but I read a part of it when I did the Agatha Christie disappearance video she's done all these stuff on Jane Austen as well and she's got a book about Jane Austen which I am now going to have to read I don't have a choice in the matter so I think I'm in next year it's going to be my classic era my Jane Austen era next oh okay legends and lattes versus Finley Donovan is killing it I mean it's tricky but I mean it's also not tricky listen I'm hoping for the drama and for the excitement that I am hoping that something will edge out legends and lattes as my favorite book of the year before the end of the year I think Richard Lawson and the last level today I could do it I'm not gonna lie okay then we have got the writing retreat versus Emma this is almost tricky again I mean there's a thing Emma is a classic in terms of what has greater like societal endorsement and agreement it is Emma you know like everyone hates to write a retreat whereas Emma has stood the test of time for like 200 years but alas I just have to follow my feelings and it's the writing retreat wow I didn't expect the writing retreat to make it this far I expected legends and lattes but I did not expect the writing retreat to make it this far I just think it's great I don't understand what is wrong with all you people who hate it you're just wrong you're just wrong I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't make the rules and then I'll find a battle between legends and lattes and the writing retreat and I'm sorry we all know it's coming legends and lattes has to be our winner I knew legends and lattes would be our winner okay I knew it but I'm interested it was interesting to see what came out on top in the other categories but legends and lattes is still my favorite book that I've read this year that's kind of like I don't like it though I don't like I don't like that that that's the fact I don't like that's no drama you know what I mean there's no drama to that where's the drama to that where is the drama to that like legends and lattes being my favorite book I've read this year hmm like that's not exciting it was the first book I read this year nothing's topped it so it is my mission that I'm gonna read a book the rest of this year that I've preferred legends and lattes and I think it's Richard Ellsman is our only hope Richard Ellsman is our only hope can you save us Britney Spears can we be saved so anyways that was my five star tournament of the five stars that I have had so far this year I hope you enjoyed it I definitely want to do this again like next year hopefully it will be earlier in the year because I would hope that I'd reach 16 the five stars quicker than I have so far this year 13 five stars at this point year I had 24 this point in the year that is actually terrible it's actually very sad anyways let me know what you thought of any of these books let me know if you thought I made any of the wrong decisions in my ranking and if you got to the end comment this heart emoji this is like my new favorite heart emoji comment that heart emoji down below if you got to the end thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you very soon in another one bye
