Yeah, that'll do I Think let's see Hello everyone be patient with me just one minute Hello, everyone. I'll be right back Okay, let's see here Okay, there we go Hello Eric and sparkster and breaker clutch and Matt Rubin and everybody Okay, I've got a new I have to have my own live stream up So I can see the live chat Because I can't I have I'm using my phone and I Can't I can't see the screen so hello big day Dave and Peter Aang and Leah and Cobra Island I hope everybody can hear me It's dinner time for me, so I've got to Eat but at the same time We've got to get some drawing done, so I thought it might be fun to do this together Hello painted plastic. Thank you for the help with the last video. I appreciate that Rob is working on a painting on a six by six inch canvas. That's cool Hello Rick Taylor Lance Taas nice to see you Hello, Fredericksburg, Virginia from the United States Yeah Painted plastics custom the shock and all I think was exceptional Hi, Jason and JK MC DJ AC DC Tony Jackson JLS comics. All right So oh The killer wezer I haven't heard from Kevin in quite some time, so I really don't know the answer to that I really don't know I Hope he's fine. I hope he's all right. I'm sure he is But I guess he just hasn't been an inspired to make videos lately He was always on sort of an irregular schedule anyway But he may just be taking extended time off. I really don't know But I hope he comes back Because I really enjoy his videos. Hi guys. Hi Chad Project Darkcorp nice to see you Llama for love nice to see you as well. I There I need to draw this evening a Firefly and a Tunnel rat So I'm trying to get more patreon, you know patron artwork done. Hi Sean Sorry, some folks are showing up and I'm missing you. So sorry if I miss you and don't see you Trying to say hi to everyone Daniel flying nice to see you Thank you very much. Yeah, it's just like a It's just a frozen pepperoni pizza Had to make something quick. It's been a very busy day So I didn't have a lot of time to make dinner Hi Melissa Just pizza this evening. I'm doing all right action figure expert. Thank you for asking I'm gonna have to do a little bit of sketching Because I Always have a challenge with them How to pose Firefly Because I always feel like he's sneaking around and he He should be crouched, but I think that gets a little bit old and I'd like to try to do something a little bit different on the Of course on the the card art He's shown from the back like Like that with like His backpack open and his little submachine gun That's the are you looking at my bum pose But I mean they were specifically trying to show off like the backpack features on the figure They did that a few times on the card art When they wanted to show off something special on the backpack that have the the character basically facing away and The emphasis was on the backpack when the original cover commander is excellent card art. I do like that. I have to attempt to draw Firefly Well, I should get the figure for reference. I don't have it in front of me What if What if we got firefly just sort of Standing around in his full gear like sort of ready for the mission with Let's see that said it seems really static that seems really static And this is always a challenge always a hard time with this I could do I could do The Firefly version to I could do him as the faceless master, but I'm gonna try to do a version one Maybe I can sort of have him leaping at the viewer with He's got a pistol pointed right at you like oh, he's they're gonna get me so all you have him like in a need forward leaping pose kind of Kind of like this and then kind of behind him I want to include the the submachine game because I like it Backpack kind of goes like that I'll try to do something like that just for the sake of making it a little bit more Action packed. Hey, I'll get the figure For reference and I'll try to do something like that Everybody talk amongst yourselves just for a minute. All right There is Firefly Or the the fiber fly as he was known when he got older because he was on the metamucil I Do have I have his some? little Walkie-talkie thing Sticky tax to the backpack so I don't lose it. So all right, there is Firefly use him For a reference and let's see if I can get both of these done in this live stream Although I'm not off to a very fast start lighting a cigarette with flair I think it would be funny if he tried to hold a cigarette with the In his mouth with that mask on Okay, so it was gonna be something like I can already tell I should have got my glasses Why do I do this to myself? I know I know I need the glasses To see when we kind of block this out a little bit the Right arm is gonna be up and holding a pistol. So that's gonna be at a really Sharp angle I get an elbow there and a shoulder there this kind of Move that right shoulder forward a bit and of course his head is gonna be tilted down a bit We'll see a little bit of his backpack here behind him Got the crisscross straps and all that he's got like dynamite and stuff And let's see so since this left shoulder is gonna go back a bit. Let's have him like basically have the I think I'll have like the the sub machine gun on a strap like this And I'll just be kind of securing it with this left Well, it's really on the wrong side, but you know who is counting, right? We'll give him a strap there and it'll be like Like this not loving this But let's see if we can make it work. I know you can't actually see this. Sorry about that I'll I'll try to adjust and it'll be more visible once that I actually Once I actually darken it in a bit Okay, so that shoulders forward and this knee is forward And this leg is gonna be kind of trailing back Be able to see his little bit of his boot there knees bent Like so This knee is extended behind him like so He's kind of leaping forward. I don't know that's you like he's One reason why I try to block these things out Before I start doing them live is because I'm inevitably I'm just unhappy with with how they turn out but as I you know, I have my limitations as an artist I kind of have to Pick one and live with it, but I don't I don't like that way Feel like we need to be filling up a bit more of the page So let's try something else. Yeah, let's try something else. I have a different idea I do want to have this right this right shoulder down and forward But I want to have the submachine gun something like that and I'll have this Pistol up here. There we go. Ah, that's better May not be perfect, but it's better So in this level come out a bit more Something something like that. Yeah, maybe Alright Okay, I feel like I can work with that a little better But this rate only get like one of these done this evening. I'm just taking a second looking at the live stream or the live chat for a second Okay. Oh, hey, there's Brandon night. Hello, Brandon. All right What can't I find things that I'm looking for Gun Okay, professor grandpa glasses acquired now, let's see what we can do with this Let's see. There's some let's clean up these construction lines a little bit and I apologize It's it's hard for me to Keep an eye on the live chat. Well, I'm Got my eyes on the page, but I'll try to check. I'll try to look back here Periodically, it's all so hard for me to talk while I'm drawing.  Their rest is covered with the mask All right. Well, let's read that up pretty well.  We'll put some camouflage on that later. Okay, so actually probably going to Like that's gonna be the barrel of the submachine gun something like that I'll be at a sharp angle Lazarus Let's see It's got the like the blocky magazine It's got like a really long grip Well, we're not gonna get a lot of details on that Submachine gun because of the angle, but that's okay That's okay. I like the dynamics, so let's get this And I I'm not breaking out the straight edges for anything to do the perspective and all that so This is just supposed to be a quick sketch so Trying to make it a quick sketch. Hello James frame Nice to see you. I don't like the shape of that head. Let's fix it a little bit. Okay Here we go. Got the Figure here. I'm just taking a quick look at it. Hello zealous. Nice to see you. Hello, James aka reface Hello, everyone. All right, so something along those lines Pretty basic. All right. I feel like this Submachine gun is gonna be a pain, so I'm trying to like Sort this out real quick. I can sort that out real quick I think the rest will be relatively easy. How are we doing? Painted plastic is popular this evening, but that's good. He deserves to be I thought you guys would like seeing what that dude does. I thought you would really enjoy Seeing what he can do with a custom Vehicle and figure his hand can be a little Bigger because he is reaching forward see a little bit of his shoulder behind that Submachine gun, but be mostly covered up. Of course. It's got like I said, it's got a Long grip. Let's see that he has like. Oh, yeah, he has like a little dagger on his on his Right wrist. Let's kind of draw that in Yes, Brandon Stalker 1.5 has gotten rather expensive. I'm really relieved that I got mine when I did But I mean even then it was not very cheap And it's mine's not in perfect condition, but at least I have one And I didn't pay an arm and a leg for it. Okay, so There's that Feel like I can live with that All right Okay, let me see backpack is like like this something along these lines Sorry, I know I'm not being very good conversationless right now, but um I'm afraid you just have to join me while I'm working Sure.  That would be entertaining. I don't believe I've ever actually drawn the ice cream soldier That would be quite amusing Okay, so let's figure this out um so is Arms coming up like this and it's also going to be stretched forward, but it's going to be up a bit And he's going to have He's going to have all right, so He's going to have uh, let's think about this here. Let's think about this Let's think about the angle of the pistol. The pistol is going to be like This and so his hand is going to be like this This is exciting. Isn't it guys? I think I enjoy the live streams more when I just kind of sit and chat with you guys Uh, I need to do that more. I like that one That's more fun. Well, I mean, that's not great, but I can live with that. That will clean up a bit, but that'll that'll work his left side he has um Whatever those things are just like some kind of rectangular things He's got things on his On his arm and let's see now. We've got to put in his Straps he's got One that goes this way And that's going to have three grenades. It's going to be a little bit tricky to get those grenades Proportioned right It's hard to judge because his hands are kind of extended One thing I try to do like if I'm drawing a grenade or something or on a figure Is um I try to imagine the figure in the drawing or the character in the drawing Wrapping his hand around the grenade and that kind of helps me Gauge about how uh, how big it should be. That's not so easy here because it is um Both arms both of his arms are kind of extended forward It's got a kind of a buckle there. I like that. That's a cool detail Let's work that in and this strap just kind of goes down here and it has like Strap to me has like dynamite or something I think it's dynamite something like that.  So there we go No, he's got uh, there's his color details a little bit obscured because of how Far forward he's leaning. So we won't get a lot of that like a color over that strap details on his shirt and then the belt You guys can't see any of this. Can you this this uh This is why the pros are the pros And i'm not a pro All right, so he's got some pouches The pouches on the figures tended to be sculpted kind of small Like so small that you like what would you even fit in there? um I like to make them a little bit bigger So that they might actually look like they're useful for something They're basically kind of like cubes He's got a peculiar looking belt buckle Okay, uh and let's see have a lot of folds in his uh in the cloths of his uniform around this leg because That leg is extended up and he's got this is where he has his pistol I went with the pistol in the uh left hand because I just thought it would um It was it's lighter. So I thought he'd be able to handle it with his uh left hand a little better And put the submachine gun in his right hand. I have the submachine gun in his left hand that I don't think that's practical Not that any of this is realistic, but still uh, let's see Doesn't have any pockets on that shirt. Um, let's see he has I'm not going to be able to see very much of his pistol just going to kind of see the strap and then Maybe I can like um Have the pistol flare out. Yeah. No, no, no, that won't work Let's let's do it like it's on the figure. That's Let's see here It does have like a little strap over it like this And it's like that Oh, Tony Jackson sends a super chat. Thank you very much. It says, uh, hey Hoodie, can I submit a drawing for the Of the mega viper when you eventually get to him? Sure. Uh, that's fine. Uh, absolutely Um, and I don't know when I'm going to get to the mega viper, but I've I've had my eye on it And now that's not really fair to say because I've had my my eye on a lot of things for a long time And I haven't nailed that one down yet but Um, this is the year of the 90s So I have actively been trying to acquire Uh more 90s toys Uh, so that one, I mean, it's it's certainly not impossible for me to get to that one this year And I kind of like to you know Um Um, I I don't feel like This year being the year of the 90s is going to be the year of a lot of popular videos Uh, because and it's not Just because like the 90s, you know people don't like the 90s is that Just just by the numbers there were more gi joe fans in the 80s um The 80s was the decade of you know, the The most popularity so um So a lot of 80s gi joe fans just aren't gonna know about a lot of Uh, where'd I put that figure? Just aren't gonna know about a lot of this 90s stuff Um, but I you know, even though I'm not a fan of the 90s I'm gonna enjoy kind of digging into some of these Kind of obscure things these like weird Subteams and all that stuff, uh I think that's gonna be fun. I think that's gonna be fun He has a strap that goes like right across His boot like that Very odd looking boots. He also has a kind of a Thing over here Don't know what that device is, but that has a double strap around the Left leg Let's see. It's gonna be like It's up running out of room You know rob Liefeld is going to uh be drawing Snake eyes. Well, he is already drawing a snake eyes comic book so, you know Maybe maybe that's the trend and maybe I need to do some Maybe I need to do some life held uh Life held feet something like um, see how do they go? Is that Is that it did I get it? Is that a rob Liefeld foot? Something oh here. I'll draw it in a little bit better His feet if he draws feet, they're like They're like that There you go. See rob Liefeld foot Thank you, Glenn Now I gotta erase that I hope I didn't draw it on there too solidly So whoever gets this picture is gonna be like, why is there a rob Liefeld foot drawn on this? That was vigorously erased Sorry Should run that on the sketch paper Okay um So, you know, basically, um, I just need to fill in the details and darken it up a little bit Let's see if we can kind of Show you the progress a little bit. I hope that works out. Okay quick kick feet Small diamond feet and very pointy. I I think it's unfair that people Criticize rob Liefeld by saying that he can't draw feet. That's not fair. He can't draw anything else either That was mean. Oh my goodness. I just said a mean thing about somebody who's a lot more successful as an artist than I am I you know, I I apologize I'm ashamed of myself Um, I will self-flagellate after this, uh video as punishment These grenades are sort of in front of things. So I'm gonna try to Do these and then work in the other details behind them So let me clean that up a little bit a lot of sketchy lines in the center there All right. I I'm sorry. I'm sorry Between me and rob Liefeld, uh, guess who's the more successful and influential artist? It's not me and never shall be So he's always got that on me. Okay. Uh, let's see. So we've got this kind of strap going here and the folds of the Shoulder of his uniform are gonna kind of come in front and then he's got the collar That comes out and then the rest of the strap kind of sneaks behind and over his back and then uh down here He's got this cool buckle thing and let's see It may seem like i'm jumping around but i'm trying to think about how things are sort of stacked on top of each other So I can kind of draw things that are Farther forward first. So I don't have to erase anything Desert storm trading cards, man. I haven't I haven't thought about those in decades I remember when those were out though I don't think I had any at least not that I recall but I remember seeing them. Okay, so that You get a little bit more sharp lines there See rob Liefeld should like this on drawing pouches Hey, one really good thing about rob Liefeld drawing snake eyes is He does have a big fan base and Uh, it will get Uh part of you know comics fandom Talking about gi joe again, and that's not a bad thing Right now. Um, yeah, we need to think about What what uh what raises the um The profile of gi joe And that that definitely helps it helps Uh the the movie that's coming out in october that should help as well And uh, I think it'll be nice to have People talking about gi joe again In a contemporary way not not just in a nostalgic way But talking about what's actually happening with it Um today So that will be cool and It's that's probably more important than whether I specifically like any of it Because I I mean that's just my particular personal taste, right? um, and I'm you know Although my personal preferences are important to me I mean they have to be important to everybody else My personal preferences are Just that just personal preferences more pouches rob More pouches now I do remember Uh comics in the 90s and I remember how Popular life held was at the time um But even back then like um, I mean I got swept away in Uh with those popular artists just like Everybody else did um But I Not so much life held I didn't Understand like I didn't understand his drawings. I didn't understand his technique and I didn't understand Like what he was trying to convey Um, and people have said that well He may not you know have gotten a lot of technical things right on his drawings But his artwork has a lot of energy, but I don't know that I agree with that because some of the problems with His arts actually take away from the energy of Uh of the drawing and of the page I I kind of always preferred And still do prefer I guess Jim Lee Who um, I felt had more solid fundamentals Um as what he had solid fundamentals, but he also had that kind of um hyper detailed style and like lots of cross hatching that was popular at the time and I say this as like Not I'm not really a current comic book fan um, I just The medium just doesn't excite me right now and um You know, I just I don't I don't feel like um Diving into What's going on? Uh, I I feel like maybe like the um A lot of the old genres that were used to maybe getting a little bit tired and old And maybe maybe not for everyone But for me, you know, I just Not a lot to excite me at the moment so So, I'd say that means what I think about uh Comic books and artists probably matters less Than someone who is actually Actively reading this stuff. I am not um, I am not who they are selling it to So I guess this is kind of like that Okay, and we had these two little doodads here Whatever they were On his left arm And So that's going to be his forearm It's kind of as okay, so let's let's give this Yeah, a little bit of an impression of Judding forward there. Okay All right. I think I can live with that Not real happy with the detail on those grenades. Oh, what's happening? Did I miss anything? um Hello jit. Hello Jay Shelly Bubble wrap for memories. I'm recently single too. I I'm sorry. I know the feeling I know the feeling sorry about that Seems to be the way life is going right now for a lot of people including me but um I'm actually getting through it a lot better than I thought I would Uh, mainly, um, you know with the help of friends and family but also with the help of um This community here that that has kind of um That's done a lot. Uh, and a lot of people have reached out and that's uh It's been very helpful. It really it shows me that people care and that That actually means a lot and I I care about all of you guys too um I don't think I would keep doing this if I didn't care um That's the main reason that I had kept it the channel going when at some points it was quite difficult um, but I just I I just love coming to uh to you, you know every week and um I love getting together. I love the interactions and I just I just love the people And you know, that's been the surprise like I just started. I wanted to talk about gi joe but um I think I just I love the people that I've met and the people that I've become friends with more than More than gi joe So now you guys are talking about all the comic book people you've met Who out there has met larry hama? I've met him a couple of times Oh, and uh in iowa, I met uh ron wagner And ron wagner uh was one of my absolute favorite, uh gi joe artists And I had him um draw A stalker for me Uh, that was just gorgeous and um, so and ron wagner is really cool Um, I I actually got to talk to him for a few minutes and that was really awesome I got a photo with him That was really amazing. I never in my life thought I would actually meet ron wagner And by the way, you know, it must be all the clean living but You know ron wagner has got to be at least, you know, 15 years older than me at least and yet he looks about the same age that I do So congratulations ron wagner uh on the clean living That has uh kept you uh youthful Oh, yeah jason. Yeah, um That I just thought that was really amazing That was a great experience And you know if you want to see some good gi joe artwork, uh go look at the issues that were drawn by uh ron wagner and he has like His style has It's more loose than uh rod wiggum um But it had a lot of the uh like really precise um toy accurate vehicle artwork vehicle drawings uh that we got from um rod wiggum so he's like um His our style was like rod wiggum, but like with more um I don't know The energy is not quite the right word, but it was it was more loose and it uh, it felt more um realistic I guess you can say and I was I was a fan of rod wiggum. I still am rod wiggum was one of the early gi joe artists that actually tried to uh To make the figures or make the characters in the vehicles look right um, and we could compare his work to like um Uh, what's his name springer? um I mean sometimes there just wasn't even any effort to make them look right um, but rod wiggum really tried and we got some more toy accurate, um uh comic books during rod wiggum's tenure And ron lander was able to do that too um but also add like the the extra life that um that maybe some of the um looser artists um were able to do um Erdio doesn't like mike fosberg Mike I have actually have talked with mike fosberg a couple of times And he's a really nice guy and he is uh an excellent artist um At the time he was drawing gi joe. He was That was very early in his career. Um And uh He might have done things a little differently, you know, if he were a bit more experienced I'm sure he would do things differently now um, but um I I I understand like that he was he was doing the best he could at the time um, and the impression that I got is that he wasn't getting a lot of feedback um, so yeah, he was um Uh, it it was You know, it was it it was what it was Rio wants to know why everyone is wrong I don't know. Um, so I gotta put some camouflage on it. Um Um But I think that's gonna be our firefly what's oh, hey, it's like eight o'clock. See I told you I was only gonna get one of these done um Let's get um I'll add some camouflage and then I will uh close the uh The live stream. Thanks everyone for showing up. I am sorry uh for not being able to get to the uh live chat very much uh, but it's very difficult for me to um To draw and talk at the same time and you know, um Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I wasn't able to uh Chat as much as I normally like to so We will not do the same thing next week. The next week. We'll just we'll do something where we can just sort of uh We can chat a bit, you know, we we can just talk You know just talk. All right. I'm drawing some squiggly camouflage lines wrap it up Probably gonna have to have some more pizza. Where's that? Where's the figure? That has like uh, uh, that's really weird. It's got like uh, really weird. Okay. Okay.  Uh, the drawing thing it It's fun. Maybe like for a sunday night thing You know just to kind of hang out But uh for tuesday, I think I think we need to just um Be more free to to To talk just to chat to catch up on things Uh, let's see Let me sign it. Uh, we're now in june 2020 Oh, we gotta do um, there we go. All right. Well, we got a firefly done at least And it's all right It's good. It's good enough for the girls. I go out with Yeah, that that it's it's firefly All right, there we go. Uh, okay folks. Um, I will uh Wrap it up. Thank you for joining me. Um Thank you for everything really. Um, it's been uh, of course it's been On a personal level a difficult few weeks, but um Uh, you guys have made it a lot easier. Um, I don't know where I would be Without uh, you guys and your support and just having you to talk with and to meet with every Every week and talk about gi joe that has really made a big difference. So Thank you for that and i'm gonna keep coming at you. Uh, quick reminder. Um, I don't have a new Review coming up on sunday. I am working on the new review, but this is an opportunity for me to actually get caught up and get back on schedule. So Uh, the new review will be coming the following sunday, but I am already working on it. So You will definitely get it. So, uh, that's all for now.  Good night, everyone. See you next week


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCube covering Edge 2016. Brought to you by IBM. Now, here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and Stu Miniman. Welcome back to IBM Edge, everybody. Stu Miniman and I are going to wrap up. This is theCUBE, the worldwide leader in live tech coverage. All right, Stu, this is the wrap on day one. Classic IBM event where you get the main tent in the morning, got a really polished IBM exec in Tom Rosemilia, hosting the event. It started exactly at 8.30. IBM's never late on these things. We go to a lot of these big data shows, they start 15 minutes late. Hey, how you doing? IBM, like clockwork, really strong presentations in the main tent. We've had a number of guests on today, like Jason at MIT Technology Review and others. But here's what it comes down to. This franchise of IBM, the roots of IBM are in this group and it's completely transformed. You really got three lines.  And the mainframe is all about leveraging the install base and opening it up so that you can bring in, maintain applications, maybe bring in some new apps, but really managing those highest end transaction systems, maybe bringing in some analytics as well and blending those together. Power, it's all about analytics. We heard that from Stephanie. Analytics, analytics, analytics. Moore's Law run out of gas. We're going to open up and create this ecosystem. Totally viable strategy when people first heard about open power, they said, oh, there's IBM's Hail Mary. But IBM thought it through very successful initiative that continues to grow. And it's storage is a business that's being transformed. New manager in Ed Walsh. It's all about software defined. It's all about flash. It's all about getting R and D into the product pipeline. And for all three of those businesses, it's about going through the services channel, whether that services channel is cloud or the IBM global services group. So it seems like steady as she goes. Yeah, Dave, really impressive day. I mean, IBM does a really good job of with just the breadth and the depth of people at this conference. When we talk to the IBM people, what they're really proud of is that it's mostly the customers telling the story, talking about the business in back, talking about what they're doing. And wow, just some guests really that blew us away. You mentioned Jason from the MIT Technology Review. I mean, great publication. Started in 1899. I mean, look at where technology's come since 1899 to our last guest here. We had Mike from TechScape just talking about, just in the last decade or two, some amazing things that have changed what we're doing. Stephanie on talking about everything from down in the little Indian stuff to the power of open source and Linux transforming. So great customers, execs, and really not taught. We talked about some of the bits and bytes and of course some of the products that IBM has. But Dave, it's about really some of the transformational things. I was thinking back to the Jeff Hammabucker line that it's a shame that the sharpest minds of our generation are working on how to get better click rates on ads. That's not what we're talking about here at the IBM show. It's really how cognitive computing, how IoT, how all of these massive trends, cloud, and infrastructure are going to impact business and make it, Dave, what's it, it's a smarter planet is at the end of the day, the old IBM tagline. Well, that was a great campaign. But you're right, Jason Ponton's TED Talk was all about solving big technology problems or big problems with technology. And so, it's interesting, Stu, I mean this division, I think one of the biggest challenges this division has is the way in which IBM accounts for stuff. IBM wants to show growth in analytics, growth in cloud, all the new thing cognitive, that's where IBM wants the show, it's revenue to the street. They don't want to show, I mean they're not like motivated to show revenue and mainframe and storage and power. They want to show momentum, they are great. But those businesses, the fact is they throw up a lot of cash, they throw up a lot of profit. They're important, they're strategic. Ed Walsh definitively said, no, they didn't bring me in here to sell the division.  So that's interesting, like I say, that's oftentimes it's those internal challenges. We heard from Jamie Thomas today talking about some of the R&D activity that's going on in IBM. It's always been a mainspring of IBM R&D is this group because a lot of the work that they're doing in core chips is fundamental to innovation. We heard about Moore's Law peeking out, Pat Gelsinger maybe disagrees, but I think it's kind of a fact that the physics of Moore's Law are reaching the end. David Floyer has written about that. So IBM's challenge is, okay, how do we maintain relevance and growth with this business and how do we support the growth areas of IBM? And at the same time, grow our business and be able to fund the R&D required and kind of good leadership to do that. We'll have Doug Baylog on tomorrow, Tom Rosamilia who runs the entire division of formerly big mainframe guy. So he's got a perspective there. Ed Walsh obviously on today. So we've heard from each of the, or will have heard from each of the division heads, some of the gaps, kind of dancing around hyperconverged, clearly something that they're going to partner with looks like Cisco, although Cisco we think has its own designs on hyperconverged. So that's sort of a question mark. Maybe IBM's thinking about leapfrogging that, they're not going to show too much leg about what's next down the road, but what's your take on the whole HCI play? Yeah, I mean, very much a focus at IBM on the software components. So, you're right, they danced around hyperconverged because they have a converged solution today in partnership with Cisco. And while today, converged infrastructure is much larger than hyperconverged, hyperconverged has a great growth rate. It'll take a few years for it to catch up, but where IBM has to play, we say our server sand, there's the enterprise server sand and then there's the hyperscale environments. And IBM of course looks to play in both of those environments. So they've got soft layer, they've got architectures there, they're pushing their software, they're working with partner technology to make sure that they've got a good basis with soft layer and in Bluemix, but today, if you say, okay, I want to buy VMware vSAN, I'm looking at that, I'm looking at Nutanix, which by the way, since we did our intro this morning, it looks like the IPO for Nutanix is finally happening, valued somewhere, what's one and a half to $2 billion. So that means hyperconverged with kind of the value of the IPO. Really, that's what they're saying the current value is. So not dramatically higher than, well, of course they went out and originally in December, the market tanked. They're not looking to do a big raise with the IPO. So they've got cash in the bank and they've got their growth rate, but yeah, they're not trying to go too big with the IPO. Well, it's interesting. So one of the things about IBM, and we've said this before, it's classic crossing the chasm, right? The new stuff isn't big enough, even though it's growing super fast, offset the decline in the old stuff, we've seen virtually every large technology company face this challenge. The difference with IBM is, unlike HP, which we said, had to shrink to grow, they split in two, they just sold off the software business, now maybe they're in a position to grow. IBM has yet granted it's sold off some businesses and it hasn't grown the top line, but it's been able to continue to hit its earnings, throw enough cash to do some mega stock buybacks. I mean, some people have criticized that, but you know, it's like Warren Buffett says, stock buybacks are a good deal when the stock is undervalued. And so, a lot of people think that IBM as a company has been undervalued for a while now, and probably is if you believe that IBM and Ginny, Rometti and her team's strategy is the right one that it was undervalued. Big acquisition of Softlayer several years ago after the whole CIA, Amazon, you know, kerfuffle, that was a wake up call for IBM, big investment there. Restructuring the analytics business, taking the services business, which is really, IBM was and continues to be largely a services led business, but bringing that into the different businesses, splitting up, you know, that software group as it were, bringing analytics, cloud and cognitive as different divisions, aligning with the different industries. So in other words, taking the industries which were within global services and aligning some of the software there. So, completely new strategies and streamlining the systems and technology, what was then the systems and technology business. Getting rid of the microelectronics business, we heard Jamie talk about that, they essentially paid to have that happen, but it cleaned up the operations. Getting rid of the x86 business, jettisoning that to streamline that business. So my point is if you believe in that strategy that has taken five years really now to finally see to fruition, you're starting to see that come into focus. And if that starts taking off, which it looks like it very well may do, then IBM is an undervalued company. A lot of people have written about that and could get back to the mojo that we've seen over the years from IBM. Takes IBM a while, it goes through these cycles. You know, you saw Gersner go through it, now, now Ginny's going through it. Certainly Palmosano continued the legacy of Gersner. He got out of the time when you sort of could see, uh-oh, something big has to change. Ginny put that in motion. It's funny, I was, you don't get it so much anymore, but the number one question about IBM that you used to get was, how long does Ginny have? Now that was a lot of competitive fud. A lot of the journalists like to talk about that. And my answer was always, I think long enough to prove that she was right. Because I think that the strategy was right on. Let's invest in the future, cognitive, AI, cloud, make some bets, buy some companies and go. And I think that the future is pretty bright here, Stu. Yeah, IBM's a real big company, Dave, so it does take time for it to move. There's so many different moving pieces inside there, but it's impressive. When we talk about the history lesson, Dave, and you talk about all the companies that have been felled over time. And IBM seems to be the exception that kind of proves the rule almost, as to every time there's been a major change, IBM's still there. It's funny, when I talk to peers of mine out there, they'll be like, oh, I'm going to the IBM Edge, which is power, mainframe, and Linux in storage. And many are like, what, mainframe's still around? It's like, there's still people that didn't realize that you could run Linux on mainframe, which I knew 15 years ago. So we talked today, containers came up a bunch. All the kind of latest things that we're talking about can live in power and mainframe. They all can live in IBM's cloud. So it all kind of comes together. And IBM just kind of has this big broad portfolio that they can pull it all together. Well, there's so much custom code built up in mainframes. It's just, it's too expensive to convert it. It's too risky to the business. So IBM and Oracle are so similar and so different. I mean, they're similar in the sense that they go after value. They don't chase volume, they chase profits, but they're so different in the way in which they approach ecosystems and markets. I mean, essentially, Ellison's trying to become the iPhone for the enterprise. IBM is trying to leverage open, and it's open system plays and other plays that it's made in the past to compete to lever this franchise that is IBM. And we've talked about a lot today. We haven't talked much about Amazon. Talked a lot about Dell, EMC, because it's sort of a quasi storage show here. You're seeing a whole new wave of storage innovation. Startups are still there. IBM wants to be a player there. So we'll see if Ed Walsh can actually bring back IBM to the top spot. They mentioned number two in storage. Everybody slices. And everybody's number one or number two in storage. It's sort of interesting how they slice and dice the IDC numbers. But the bottom line is can they grow again? And that really is what the street wants to see. I'm sure that's what Ginny wants to see. I'm sure that's what Ed Walsh wants to see and Tom Rosamilia. But big business, still highly relevant and supportive of the cognitive and analytics initiatives that IBM has. Anything from the IBM Go website that you've been seeing, Dave, I love kind of a tweet velocity. He's got some of the influencers. Lots of things move in there. So ibmgo.com is the sort of collection and compendium of all the content associated with the top five or six IBM events. And so what we do is the cube model. We pump in cube videos, cube gems, maintain content, breakout session content, all floated into IBM Go and the way it works is you got to sign in to see the main tent videos. You don't have to sign in to see the cube videos, of course. But all kinds of Silicon Angle commentary will flow in there, third party articles. So check out ibmgo.com. Obviously check out siliconangle.com, wikibon.com for all the research and crowdchat.net slash IBM Edge. This is a wrap stew day one, IBM Edge. We'll be here tomorrow. We start off at 10 30. 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock tomorrow, 10 o'clock. Local time, we're in Pacific time. Thanks for watching everybody. We'll see you tomorrow.


all the nonprofits The knuckles for the work that's been done here I I wanted to also express appreciation for the first speaker's comments about um, this is a public health approach So supervisor McPherson, you had said are we the first to think of this? So actually the world health organization defines something called health and all policies As a collaborative approach to integrating all the assets that we have With an eye towards policy change and that looks towards health equity and sustainability So it's something that's been approached at the worldwide level It's something that's been approached at the national level So the cdc has a strategic national prevention strategy that includes health and all policies The state of california has something called the health and all policies task force And it was developed by a governor's executive order and has 22 representatives from state offices agencies And departments But it's a tough nut to crack at the local level And santa cruz county has all of those ingredients at the local level for us to really be successful at this So one of the things that i'm so happy about and pleased to be here as a part of this is This that's the foundation for work. There's been a lot of talk today about how different county departments Different nonprofits different entities can combine combine and align our direction towards a single north star We have Momentum right now to to use this foundation to combine the work that we do with others such as National philanthropy and also our city jurisdictions school districts I mean other folks that we are just starting to do this health and all policies work with and we have Captured it all with the with a movement that is core So with that I just wanted to say I think that we're on a great path and And again, this is a new idea, but it is certainly A new idea and very difficult to implement at the local level because it takes so many resources and we have them Here. So thank you. Ellen and all thank you. Thank you Good morning. Good morning chairman friend and supervisors karen. Delaney with the volunteer center And I want to continue the kumaya of just how impressive this process is i'm not on the steering committee But I am really grateful for the leadership that everybody is doing in this really fine work And I do want to the risk of being prosaic since everybody else said all the great stuff Um Put one very specific request for your consideration and staff's consideration about the substance abuse rfp Because we're coming into the third year of a three-year process What i'm thinking about our co-occurring disorder substance abuse mental health programs And our co-occurring criminal justice substance abuse programs One-year money Including the possibility for some one-time Enhancements or one-time spending in the rfp because It's difficult with one-time money and short time To scale up and then in a time of uncertainty But we could there are some really with a very small amount of money. We could really Move investment across all of our substance abuse programs, particularly our co-occurring disorder ones So since this is one-time money considering Having that in the mix for the rfp Might be really helpful to providers and a really a good use for part of your money. Thank you Thank you for that suggestion anybody else Okay, we'll bring it back to the board. I just i'd like to highlight the fact that It's pretty remarkable to have this number of service providers coming and speaking in favor of This change to have local government providers. I appreciate that the city of Santa Cruz Took the time to come out here and your collaboration with the county on this process Because this has been A long road to get us to where we are and as was pointed out by miss martinez Is the beginning of probably an even longer road moving forward of of change and It really is a fundamental trajectory shift in how we Provide services or how services are delivered and how outcomes are achieved and it answers a question that I know the board has asked More than rhetorically, which is Are our investments working And are they truly impacting the lives of people within our community and be able to answer that question Not just for the community at large, but for All of us that are dedicated to this effort both these nonprofits that dedicate their lives every single day to this for the board that has to make Decisions with limited resources Is really an inspirational way to address and approach financing Outcome-based financing in our community moving forward and I really appreciate the leadership of your department Of people that aren't here in your department anymore that took the initial reigns have since retired, but appreciate the continued work and as supervisor coonerty noted the seriousness and While we provided sort of macro direction they I don't think that any of us could have anticipated this level Of seriousness from not just your department, but all the community organizations and other governmental partners It's really a model of what needs to happen moving forward and I hope that it really will impact change I appreciate your work on that Moving it back to the board now for an action I'm sorry supervisor coonerty and then supervisor leopold. Sure. I'll move the recommended action Second we have a motion from supervisor coonerty second from supervisor McPherson supervisor cooner. Um, sorry leopold I also Just want to add that I think that this this to me. It's less of a trajectory shift and more of Reconstituting of what we've been doing. I think that that this county and our community-based partners have always been Committed to the long-term health of the most vulnerable populations in our community There's no doubt about that and this effort keeps us On that pathway, but it gives us a chance to look at our investments to see how we can make the biggest difference And and how we can try to move the needles in a way that we never have before And so that to me is is very exciting I think that to to to reconceptualize Um, a program that had been around for close to 40 years Takes a lot of inclusivity Because there As as someone who was around for a previous attempts. It's It doesn't guarantee that uh, that, uh You can make change But it certainly helps And to have this steering committee And to look at the names of the people on that steering committee and the testimony that we've heard here today People are Sharing what they know learning from what they can And helping us make our county, uh, a lot better So I I want to express my appreciation To the members of the steering committee who've taken the time to come here and talk to us today and have spent the hours At these meetings. I also want to appreciate the staff For thinking that uh, as smart as you are that it's good to reach out to others to get their input as well I think that that that that's a good sign as well. It's always good to know what we don't know Um, and what we can learn from others. So i'm very excited to support this So we have a motion and second all those in favor I Opposed passes unanimously. Thank you very much Uh, our last item is actually a closed session. Will there be anything reportable out of closed session? Yes And is there anybody from the community that'd like to address us on the closed session items? Okay, see none the board Will move into closed session The meeting is adjourned


We have already had a major achievement. This came through the adoption of the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants in 2016. This was a first and major move towards international action in response to the changing nature of migration. And it was the first concrete step towards the kind of global framework we badly need. Because migration touches everything. The journey of an international migrant is made across national borders. Every country, every community and every person has experienced migration in some way. It is a truly global phenomenon. And we have a body which is set up to address global phenomena. The United Nations. It defies logic therefore that we have been trying to address migration on our own, at national level, in an ad hoc way. With no framework in place to guide our international cooperation. But we already know this. And that's why last year we came together to say no to business as usual. That's why we adopted the Declaration. That's why we committed to negotiating and adopting the world's first international compact on migration. And that's why we need to do even more. I want to focus my second point on the need to do more.


Today is officially the last day of 2021. It has been a hell of a ride in the crypto space this year. We've had many ups and downs, tears of joy, and tears of pain. Overall I am excited to see what's going to happen in 2022, how much more this space will continue to develop and get accepted, and I'm also excited for the potential of this channel and how much more it can grow in 2022. So today let's keep it short and sweet, take a look at where Bitcoin is today, where it could possibly go depending on the chart patterns and some indicators, and do a quick little recap of the year that we had. So let's dive right into today's video. Alrighty guys, so let's go ahead and take a look here at the chart and see what's been going on this week so far. So you can see after having a beautiful green candle last week, this week has been kind of the opposite. It sent us all the way back down with basically the same size candle here. And at this point right now, this would actually be an engulfing bearish candle. So last week we had the bullish engulfing. This week if we were to close right now at this moment, it would be a bearish engulfing candle, which is obviously a bearish candle there. And that would not be pretty for the weekly outlook here, at least in the short term. Now the other thing currently where we are is that we're yet again under that 50 week moving average, remember that we spoke about that we got the bounce back up last time. So we're currently under it. Now there still is, of course, the possibility to close above, close a week above it. There's a lot of talk in the air right now saying that to start off the years it might be bullish in January that we're going to get that move up. And right now it's just not enough volume in the market. So people with a lot of money can move the market a lot easier right now. There's also, of course, a lot of people out on holidays and stuff like that. So there's a lot of factors that can come into this into the reason why this week we've gone down so much. And right now there's really not much to do, but just kind of wait it out and see what happens, see what develops over the next few days. Now the bullish perspective here is that if we take a look at this, we can see here what exactly what's been going on on the daily here, where we've been rejected multiple times until we finally got a breakout above that resistance. And now we're retesting where the resistance that we broke out from. So now let me show you guys something on why this could also be a bullish pattern. Now look at this pattern here. Doesn't this look very familiar right now? Where we've been getting rejected from resistance.  But after the breakout we come back and retest that trend line before continuing higher. This is called a bump and run reversal bottom. So that top part is a lead in phase. The bottom part where we dump off is the bump phase. And then when we break out and retest that's called the throwback to trend line phase before the uphill run. So if now we look back at our chart, we'll see that this is the lead in phase. This is the bump phase. And this would be the throwback to the trend line phase before the uphill run. And you'll see the same thing play out in a lot of different charts. You can see here the same thing, A, B, and then C is when it throws back. And then it takes off. Bitcoin itself has done the same pattern before before breaking out. And then of course there is a possibility that it could be a failure as well. You can see here that this one was a success. But you can see on this one here that it's not always going to be a success. Sometimes it could fail and continue down lower. Remember that as traders, what we're looking for is probability. This is a game of probability. Now, the reason that I believe that that's the pattern that we're currently in and that the higher probability is to the upside is because one, we just had a falling wedge breakout, right? That's another reversal pattern. Two, we've had here a bullish divergence in the market. So again, that's another reversal signal. Three, we're here at a very big support level, right? So this whole green box here is a huge support and most likely a bottom for this current drop. So again, that's three different things that are pointing at the same thing, pointing saying that we're expected to bounce and head up higher. And then of course on the more macro level, none of the long term indicators that have been very reliable have called a peak yet. And if we actually look at the advanced NVT signal indicator here, this is actually flashing a buy signal here. So if you look at the current level that it's at and you look at last time that we were we were in the same level, you can see that the Bitcoin price. Look at this. Bitcoin price went up, right? Now, let's look further back to the time before that that we were in this in this range. Again, Bitcoin price bottomed out went way up. If we go further back to the time before that that we were in this range, you can see here that we bottomed out and we had a rally to the upside before continuing down. And if you just keep looking back, you'll see that every time it's been in this range, it's kind of said that, OK, we've hit a bottom for the moment and price is going to go higher, right? So almost every single time if you just continue to look back throughout history. All right, guys, so let's zoom out and see what an incredible year this has been. Although there's been so much up and down. And if you really zoom out and look at it, it really looks like we've just been trading within a range like consolidating, right? And we've kept our higher highs, higher low, higher high, higher low. So this year we're up over 60 percent year to date. The low this year was set at twenty seven thousand six seventy eight. The high of the year was, of course, sixty nine thousand dollars. After opening the year at twenty seven thousand, we rallied all the way up one hundred and thirty four percent to a high of sixty five thousand dollars before having that epic meltdown of around. It was a pullback of around fifty five percent back in, of course, May and June, basically, into July before we had our move back up starting in July. That took us up about also one hundred and thirty five percent, very close to this initial move, and that gave us a new all time high, of course, of sixty nine thousand dollars. Now, ever since that high, we've gone down as low as thirty eight percent on this pullback and currently we're down about thirty three percent from that all time high. So if we were to move back to that all time high, that's about a fifty percent move. If we were to see another, let's say that we saw another one hundred and thirty one hundred and thirty five percent move up from the low on this move, then that gives us a price of actually it's almost right on a hundred thousand dollars. That will be an amazing way to start twenty twenty two. So that's it, guys. Happy New Year's to each and every one of you. Thank you guys so much for everyone who has supported not only my channel, but myself and my other social media platforms in twenty twenty one. You guys have made this an incredible, incredible year.

The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host Basil Chapman. Call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 and we're also looking at very interesting phenomenon because even today we were speaking about this for about maybe 10 days already. All those round numbers and we spoke about Nvidia and you know what Nvidia had a high all-time high on Friday of 666.00 I mean rarely a zero I mean this is when you don't go to the pennies but you go to the zeros it means that someone is either buying or selling with a degree of I wouldn't say hysteria but a degree of determination they just got to get it or they just got a sell what it turns out today it had a 677 round number low that's 11 points higher it ran up to 694.97 and now it's trading a 688.72 up 27 so this to me is a kind of a benchmark and video graphic processing and work for workstations games mobile devices chips that's really important so we'll keep an eye on this now let's just go to the market and we've seen this in so many stocks and it just it says to me that something is going on here that's just a little different to what we normally see actually I wouldn't say a little different because I do see around numbers at market change trend changes but this is the number is quite extraordinary I don't want to go over them it's already about 40 or 50 that I counted since last Wednesday alone so something something is happening that's a change in personality let's let's go through this the Dow at this particular point is down 262 that 38,390 now the way I've counted it I I don't see any other way that I can get this as a peak seat does that mean they're still gonna be over the week there's gonna be some residual strength at some point there's a little spike to the leg deal just a tiny failure under that 38,783 we'll see but look what what has happened here we've already got the S&P remember the chapter we've always looking for PDs and that's where other things can happen went to a leg D on Friday and that was I should have typed that in a little earlier on I forgot to do that at 49,75,29 let me just change that 40,75,75,29 and today we're at 40 that was a 49 it should be 49 let me just go through that again I think I did that a little too quickly we've got on Friday the high was 49,75,29 we've got that right there and today it's at 49,37 so that says with the nine-period moving average very strong over the 14 the price way of the nine the MACD is strong sorry to dip a little bit but it's still strong stochastic so 84% on balance runs a little overboard but look at this gray line here this daily chart on the left see this is the daily that's the weekly that's the monthly on the right look at this there's been a failure in the rate of strength that to me is quite important and that's why I've said to subscribers to opening call we've got to be very careful here we've got to start implementing some short positions and we're looking at the QQQ at 427,75 down the dollar 24 had a high all-time high three weeks ago was 429,25 and on Friday at 430,24 let me just type that in little double top there for 30,24 and now we're at 427,73 down a dollar 30 that's the QQQ now the weekly charts are all very strong I'm looking at the monthly charts all very strong so this is a short term potential trend change and we're looking at the IWM the Russell 2000 Russell 2000 is at 190,75 down 3.66 it's not been very good at all just acting very quick and gold as I said before it's down sharp he's done 18 it isn't breaking down yet it's still holding considering what the dollars that this is holding very nicely if you're looking at silver silver is down point 37,22,241 doesn't look as good every once in a while silver looks a little better than gold and gold looks a little bit but they're both in downtrends at this particular point and one of the reasons is you've got such strength in the dollar and that of course is a market negative look at this dollar daily chart here they eat very strong now I've got an E but what I've noticed over the last few weeks I like to look at the character of the market the different charts it doesn't matter where it is or what it is if the pattern starts to match other patterns then I have to say that this is in play and that would say that little peak right there is an A and this is an E but that could be an E and I'm going to put it in because it says this could be a longer-term move for the dollar and a longer-term move for a pullback in the market which it deserves we know that leg A in the in the weekly chart the monthly chart says that the dollars just nothing to see here but boy that that daily chart above the highs that were made back in December way above the children's period moving average all very positive and if you look at the EUR USD obviously it's going to be coming down it's gone it's testing and just broken as the dollar is broken that December high so the let me just get this is a euro dollar currency pair this is the right here daily chart below that was made and this is the the price change over a period of time but right now the price for the week of the 8th of December is 1.07237 and here we are at 1.0868 so we're underneath that by a fraction and you're thinking of the USDJPY that'll be the yen that's the dollar yen currency pair hasn't quite made it no they're all being the same thing that is testing that high that was made on the 19th which is at 1.48806 and today's high is 1.48824 so it's slightly higher and you've got this the pairing of the dollar and the yen going in the same upside direction and the euro going down together with gold let me just do crude oil right now crude oil is very important pulling back shopping so if you look at this it's kind of saying that some deflation aspect and some of the key metrics that we're looking at obviously oil is very important if oil is coming down is that saying that there's an economic downturn together with copper yeah look at copper coppers down 0.05 3.78 right 3.76 very sharp move to the downside and now I have to go to bonds James bonds looking at a sharp move down down 1.2231 and 2230 seconds at 120 and 830 seconds very sharp almost like a one of those chap wave look at this dreaded age pattern only went to an anus pulling back really sharply here wow look at the tbt version of the tlt very sharp with that said you're going to make a puzzle champ like in the future now i'm going to take down 314 look right back if you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market then rocket equities and options report is a

Pezzavento on the line Larry Pezzavento how are you i hope you're feeling a lot better so i feel okay except that i don't have any voice i don't have any symptoms anything serious but i i wanted to alert the folks to be really careful being long stock up in here because we've hit something of a ceiling in my opinion so that's the only thing i wanted to bring to their attention because there's a lot of things that are telling us that we might be turning down here and with market action today if we get that dow jar that s and p blow 4900 and the dow Jones below 3810 it's going to be pretty nasty as my gas but i just want to bring that to your attention okay i think that's really very good advice Larry now i've been talking about something that i have not seen i know you have i've been listening in it that's another reason why i've been so bearish and you know it's it's fascinating because you have to ask the question why would fund managers just put in a bit you know in the old days when we used to have to call in something and it was also in quarter points and you say get me out at 54 right you wouldn't say 54 and three quarters of a few and this to me is there are people that are either desperate to get in or desperate to get out and for a week and a half i've been seeing these round numbers it just says to me that something is very different we haven't seen this before and it's really it's going to be significant and we won't know for a few days that my guess is that it is telling me that fund managers are getting out big time in certain areas and certain stocks and i don't know we're more than that but that that's the way it looks at this particular time i don't know if you agree but that's kind of i certainly do i certainly do my friend certainly do and when my voice is fading so i'll talk to you soon and thanks for all the support buddy i appreciate it very good well we miss you all a lot all right thanks a lot thank you for calling we appreciate that thank you very much as a very president who doesn't show it one o'clock eastern time every day i trade what you see that a little problem with his throat as you can hear and we just hope that he gets better really soon so let's just do this we go back to what i was looking at in the market let me have to just change this go back to questions in the den let me follow through with us you can see this is the e-mini you can see this is the one minute chart right over here on the left just come tumbling down in the five minute chart right here you got this big candle and then you had you remember that in the travel wave we're always looking for that fourth highest peak we call it peak d a d c is the third highest peak b d is the fourth it went right there to the four seventy four level and it came down and now we're at four forty nine forty four all right that's you know that's a pretty sharp pullback and now i needed to go back to our story right right here so i needed to show you something that i think is very important if you're looking at the tlt so you remember i'd spoken about this oh quite some time ago i said i i don't have anything as uh in terms of the dark news cloud cover or dark news index that i talk about where there's always something out there that's very negative but the market a lot of the time just ignores it but every once in a while it becomes important enough that it takes notice and what i'd say is the keep your eye on the bonds and remember bonds were actually going sharply higher so that yields have come down and keep your eye on excuse me and keep your eye on there are other aspects that i'd like to look at and that would be the dollar and the dollar's kind of you know the dollar wasn't doing very much well for the last couple of days we've had a very sharp move up especially since that wednesday speech with pal talking about yields and that he didn't see anything at this particular point that led him to believe that he should make the the change in direction official he'll wait he needs to see evidence he wants time on his side to say that yes we've got a deflationary aspect here well all of a sudden there's no choice i have to put the rectangle in right here and i say we're looking at this kind of double top area well you'll see if that's going to turn out to be something of importance and that's right here and it goes back to that rectangle that i always put when i'm looking at the internal high and the residual high and it might have been internal high residual high here i'm not even sure how we can get to that big c there'll be one of the most unusual times to make an all-time high and failed in the chaff wave at a lake c i give other wave counts but it was so clear that that's the way it should be not going to not going to mess around and say that the pattern was wrong the market is always right and that's all there's to it so let's just get out of that we want to go back to what we're looking at here so let's just go through the questions that came in so let's go alphabetically apple major major influence on the market over the years but not quite so much lately and apple is trading at this particular moment uh down oh it's it's actually up 90 cents in 186 186 84 had a huge move down to the 200 p moving average after earnings and then closed negative but with a very big green candle and today it's red but it is up uh it hit 188 36 but you can see by this daily chart pattern has made the h formation and that weekly chart is just sideways pattern and the monthly chart is holding still pretty well amazon question came in about amazon let's go right there amazon is down to almost three points at once uh 68 84 and i needed just to put this in i didn't have a chance over the weekend and i'll do it right now the high on friday wasn't an all-time high there was amazon hit 188 65 back in july of 2021 came down to 81 dollars um i think it was octoberish of uh 2022 and uh had a really strong move up gapped up on friday had a high of 172 50 let me just type that in oops no i don't need that that's 172 50 got it 172 15 and it's trading right now at 169.99 168 actually yep and um how it resolves this big gap to the upside it's going to be very important there's a leg d in the month in the weekly chart leg c in the monthly chart so all of those actually all the technicals are still looking pretty darn good did have 159 round number high on thursday before the um announcement of the earnings so this is really good let's go to google google's trading net i'm not going to google l i'm going to georg look at that 145 91 up 2.37 so the diversity of this market at this particular time says to me not everything is just so negative that you gotta jump out the window not at all it's a rotational correction as i see it a high level correction at some point and that'll change it at any moment so it made a pd with a two bar reversal right there that was on thursday friday he goes to 152 92 the 152 78 that's a two bar reversal gaps gaps earlier last week kept down and now it's having a bit of a balance so google's okay we're looking at a netflix we'll go right there and Netflix we'll be right back there's a basil chapter tiger day this is our i should tell you what the dollars do yes we go out the dollars down 374 we'll be right back currencies

ym the dow is down where did that go let's try it again but the dow is down uh to the 177 and that's with caterpillar let me just get there in a moment i'll slide over here we go just working from one computer instead of my usual array of monitors we're looking at the caterpillar which had earnings it opened it closed on friday in the 3 18ish area it screamed at the open at 334.87 and that was in fact the high and now it's trading up five so in other words it was up i said it's at 320 so it was up almost 20 something dollars and now it's uh just barely well compared to where it was very high this is where they've seen the monthly like f in the month so see weekly after the monthly but look at this um so it's hf is right there i believe that that was a high yeah it's a little difficult to see 305 73 305 75 all right so this is a leg E right here very interesting so caterpillar did help for a little bit now it's not helping i needed to look so we were looking at netflix netflix right now and flx it's trading at um down 94 cents at 563.50 now this is fascinating remember we looked at this on friday i said the sideways consolidation basically it looks like a rectangle look i'd grab it like a little flag pattern right there eventually what happens even if it pops up a little higher the longer it goes sideways the greater the chance if it takes out the baseline support on the rectangle it's going to to go quite a bit lower now look at this we'll look at the uh here we go 579.64 was the most recent high i'm just going to scroll across and see if i can see any round numbers no round numbers no round numbers no round numbers and today um yeah so this is the one two three four five six six candle in this long sideways rectangle for the moment and we're going to watch it closely because if it starts to trade under five it's at 563 for trades under 557 there's a chance that the green nine period expenditure moving average of 534 could be tagged so and the weekly chart is already for the second week it's at pd and the monthly is in leg d the part of the last high was at 700.99 this is netflix in november 2021 they're missed by one penny making that round number high all-time high and then it did tumble down to the low of uh let's just get this the low of 162.71 may of 2022 so this has been a stupendous rally look at this huge gap hasn't been filled yet and it might take a little bit to fill up for false amazon netflix meta is what we're missing right here meta had absolutely incredible earnings i went to 585 for 96 with a gap up on friday that's off to a round number of 390 then a round number of 398 and then it's screamed to the upside today it's down 12 at 463.40 and most importantly what we're looking at here is that this is like a little flag right here with this gap to the upside if at any point in the next two i give it like a three-day rule if in the next day or two it closes it can go under four the low of right there i've got it the low of 453.01 that was a low on friday if it closes under four 451 451 that's a close it can go underneath tag it and then put back go right back into that into the bar itself or friday that's good if it closes under it it says be careful offer a huge move like that this weekly charge there's nothing technically wrong it's just that the unbalanced volume is so overbought that just on a normal basis there should be some kind of a pullback but this pullback has to be monitored because we're in the area here it says with the dot now we've got the dark news cloud cover it's got nothing to do with a candle called the cloud cover and that just says to me now the market is taking what it ignored the higher rates and the higher dollar now is taking it seriously all right i'm not even getting to any political aspect right now that'll come later in the year but we don't have to do that right now this is go to okay and the question came about on on technologies i believe is called oh and on semiconductor corporation at a huge spike to the upside it's up 552 and 76.36 i think the question is what should i do so for the questioner peak a and then we'll just do a chapter of notation here this is peak a b next high peak because c and d could be an instant restart because within three bars it made a new recovery high but i can see i don't have to do that right down to p e and a p f of the edoji candle uh back in december you're in the 86ish area and it's come all the way down and had a big spike to save the day because i've tried it it made even a low low so this is a big bounce what i'm going to suggest is if you're along take something off it hit 78.75 after being in the 68th just one day ago one session i should say take something off and in fact the way this chart is looking i would take something off and if you are along from anywhere down in the 70 area i would do two things one is i'd have another part to take off if there's a a slight under the low of today which is at 75 44 and then i just wait and just see what happens next but if it takes something off right now 76 this is just money management after did you expect today that you'd be up earlier on it was more than 7.8 percent it was up in the 10 percent area i'm not sure and if you're it's a surprise it's like a gift that was given to you take something off but the weekly chart is suggesting that this is it may be in news could be earnings if it's an earnings related report this is very good if it's just because the semiconductors are moving sharply that's not a good sign because it's bound to test the 68th level so i asked why i'm saying just a little bit off money management but if it does slide underneath today's load maybe take another little bit of and then i would just hold it and then we look at look at it again tomorrow next another question came in you know i lily you know i lily um coming out with earnings had a huge move of forty three dollars what i think it's the money management but 10 for 98 um straight nascent error i'm not sure about finishing another vaccine just the money management okay but also test against all the i i lily from that i'll be right back

LLC this program is brought to you by vista gold traded on the nyse american and tsx under the symbol vgz uh it's a question about microsoft microsoft is the one that i left out uh um we're looking at down five uh five five six dollars at four or five point forty eight to hit uh an old time high on earlier last week it's had that pushed to the four hundred fifteen level holding very well but i think it's going to be digesting the huge i should mention that we're all along from 38 um yeah i think it's going to have uh we haven't done anything we just not this point we're just watching you to see where we could add back but i didn't think of shorting or doing anything just keeping positions and that's it but i do believe it will be part of the digestive phase that we're going through if we're going to be going through it right here another question came in about bank of america i'm i'm concerned as i was doing my work over the weekend i looked at this and i thought wow bank of america are trading at thirty three dollars and yet again we should i should mention we've been lowered down we're long um but it's not acting as well as it should and that goes together with the xlf xlf actually acted very nicely on friday thursday uh Tuesday went to it was having pretty good candles uh friday it did bounce it's down a little bit down 34 since the 38.64 i do not want to see the financials the xlf the reason why i haven't seen that i think that this is a huge big crash to the downside i don't see it at this particular point i see it maybe later in the year but not now i know i shouldn't even say crash i should say a much deeper consolidation um is because if the financials are holding well and see usually in the crisis you get the um let me go to this right now the hgx which is the for the downfall housing in the housing sector index um when you get a major sell-off in this index in order to down 13 and 640 it's holding in this sideways pattern it certainly looks like it's going to go down to the 620s pretty soon but a very quick peak a peak b peak c and then your d there's that fourth highest speaker right there on the daily chart and it's at the d in the weekly chart and it's at a d in the monthly but the doji can i'm watching this closely why because tall brothers and i'm going to get to the financials in a moment tall brothers is pulling back to 47 at 97 70 hasn't broken down luna another big uh one of the really fine home builders and our corporation uh in this rectangle hasn't broken down hasn't broken up it's just stuck in the rectangle i'm watching this but when the the financials deteriorate very quickly when you've got a huge move down in the housing in the real estate sector now it could be the other way around but they kind of go together and i don't see that at this point that's why i'm saying this is more in the phase of of we'll call a rotation why would you get the semiconductors you remember i consider the semiconductors to be the crude oil of the 21st century because crude oil was in everything that was important in the great economies of the of the 1900s around the world and then from the late 1900s let's call it the uh 1950s but it was really the 1970s and 80s certainly when apple came around semiconductors just they were they they pervasive they were in everything that knew anything that thinks anything that moves so that's the oil and we've got the semis right now at close to all depends on stocks but certainly the smh is look at this at still holding as we're speaking it's near all-time highs at 191.85 up 65 cents i don't think by the end of the day it'll be there we'll see but that just says to me slowly by slowly one by one we've got in these different sectors in different phases of the movement remember bottoms are made synchronously uh and you've got octobers march there those are usually the times that you make major lows and within within the same day or a couple of days all the indexes that are very important make their lows even stocks but on on highs remember to year 2000 it was january of the dowel and then march was the smh's and the spx's s and p it just that's the way it works and we've got that all the way through and even the last october that was october 27th within days all the indices started to move up very sharp and it's been a spectacular move therefore you can expect some kind of a digestive phase so within the questions that i was asked about um i did oh where would amazon go was the question amazon yes so if amazon closes any day this week under 165 would be making easy but i'm gonna make it one under one closes under 166 it'll start to fill the gap if the general market look the dow i mean this is a pretty big move in the dow right um down 408 right now so all i can say is that within the context of the different sectors and remember the dow is the one that has a little bit of everything it has cvx it has the multinational oil companies it has um apple look at this apple they're all doing different things it has something like uh nike look at that nike making a low as we speak a multi-month low um not that not that great you've got in all of a sudden you've got yourself a mcdonald's i mean you're all over the show this is not an industrial company anymore mcdonald's made a pge there was a round number that i made a pge at um 292.39 on the 22nd of January so here it is 302 is trading at 285 and the big context it's just it's a pd in the weekly chart that's important but in the larger context uh it's not a big deal from where it's come but this is a big move because i now have to put a down arrow in the daily not yet in the weekly but uh a down arrow and that says you're in a cell mode so we're all over the show right um and you've got i'm just trying to get this corrected uppercase d uppercase of the way up and the travel wave lowercase on the way down um yes now this runs through the script against smci i haven't even looked at that smci this is that type it right here look at that amazing it has 606 round number high on friday this is super micro company this is in the semis this is really one of the lead companies in terms of actual functioning of what it does in the semis and here it is makes a height today of 62.46 i mean really that's that's incredible this is straight now this is this people have different conceptions of what a parabolic move to the upside is i've always sort of a parabolic move as being relative to whatever the chart you're looking at if you're looking at this chart of the month in leg e yes it's straight up but it's only two months worth of upside activity if you're looking at the week yes it's straight up but that's four weeks five weeks i'm sorry five weeks if you're looking at the day it's just gone straight up from the 300 level it was at three or six on the 18th this day it either makes an inverted eiffel tower straight up straight down or it goes sideways to consolidate

round number recently the high was 73 we just get it right here 70 53 um and now it's trading at 65 97 this is different this one here i'm saying that if you're long i would be very careful my the way it's looking at this point different at the the upside looks limited to the 67 80 area but if it takes out 64 30 like and say that it's a rotational correction that's unfolding right now and you can see it by the doubt being down sharply sb not as much but the semiconductors are still up but i don't think they're going to be up for very much longer stay tuned have to stay tuned for steve rose have a great session and um just be very careful out puzzle chap is signing off
