And welcome to East West Center Insights. Aloha, I'm Karina Lyons, Vice President and Director of Research at the East West Center. The Center is a cutting-edge research capacity building institution. We're based here in Hawaii and forging deeper understanding and connections between the East and the West. So every two weeks on this show, which is at Tuesdays at 2 p.m. Hawaii time, I had to think about that for a moment, it is Tuesday. I'll be having a conversation with an East West Center expert somewhere within our global network about the biggest challenges facing our society today and into the future. And today, I'm super excited to introduce Dr. Victoria Keener. She's a research fellow with the East West Center and she's here to talk to us about the coronavirus and climate change. So Dr. Keener is a specialist in hydroclimatology, gosh, I've practiced this beforehand. She's a specialist in hydroclimatological research. I'd like to see that on your business card. And she directs our federally funded Pacific Research and Integrated Sciences Assessment or the Pacific Research Program. And that focuses on climate-related impacts, adaptation, and mitigation policies in the Pacific Islands. Dr. Victoria Keener, welcome. Hi, thank you, Karina. Hi. Welcome to the coronavirus. It's so bizarre, but those of you who don't know, Victoria and I live 11 minutes walk away from each other. But we're trying to lead by example by talking to each other in our respective living rooms. I see you cleaned up a little. Hey, so let's chat about the coronavirus that we're currently in. So this global pandemic lockdown has been called a temporary breather for the planet. And that's because valet carbon is being burned, right? Because we're flying less and we're doing less in terms of commercial activities. And the government response has been dramatic. Many of the things that have been done kind of look like what needs to be done to mitigate the impacts of climate change. So what do you think we can learn about how to address the climate crisis by watching the COVID-19 pandemic response and how it's unfolded? Yeah, it's a great question because while not wanting to minimize the impact of the pandemic or any of the public health issues, there really are a lot of parallels between it and the climate crisis and kind of how it has evolved over decades really. So it's kind of a different temporal scale. We've seen in a matter of months what the climate crisis and community has been going through for decades. So there was a lack of coordinated response until this kind of disaster scale threshold was reached for the virus. So the virus was spreading kind of underground until it started community spread in several cities and then hospitals were under threat of being overwhelmed. That's kind of analogous to temperatures rising steadily around the world all of this time over the last century until suddenly we're seeing it detectable more and more that fingerprint and extreme rainfall wildfires and coral bleaching around the world. So really it's like a microcosm of that problem. So we went from denying that the virus was a problem in January to admitting it was there but blaming it on something else in February to saying the solutions were just too expensive in March and then finally saying we were willing to die and condemn others to death instead of just solving the problem by modifying our behavior. So this was really decades of the climate change debate in just three months. Right but for so many regular people climate change is so abstract. So when we look at these analogies we think okay that kind of makes sense but would the impact of climate change be as extreme as what we're experiencing now in terms of the global pandemic this crisis? Well the threat so the threat from climate change to people's future livelihoods and their children's livelihoods are just as severe or more severe than those from the coronavirus. But humans are very bad at planning for the future right we're much better at reacting in the moment cobbling together a solution or accepting and adapting to whatever our new normal is but really this is a chance for us for the sake of a more healthy equitable and ecologically functional future to come together and make sure that this is not just another disaster that we accept and adapt to really. Right but just to keep digging down and to try to make it real for people I mean do you think adapting to climate change will it be as devastating for our economy as it has been dealing with the coronavirus? Yeah so that's a very interesting question because we have seen these massive economic impacts right and so people are saying you know if this is what adapting to climate change looks like then how are we going to do this in a way where our systems our communities our businesses our governments are able to keep on functioning and we're able to live our lives. So what we've seen in the pandemic is that the crisis has triggered massive and mostly voluntary behavioral change on a scale that has been considered impossible to do for climate change impacts in the day before any of this happened not just in the United States but across the world and a lot of times that impossibility was really linked to the economy and market based looking through a market based lens so for example some of the analysis done on looking at different climate change adaptations and mitigations there have been different financial institutions that have said because there is a 1 drop projected in global GDP that would come out of these come out of these adaptations it's not worth doing and now what we see is there's been way more than a 1 drop and we're going to be recovering from this for years probably so in this crisis we've really seen what happens when we react instead of plan ahead so in this case the economic impacts are far more dire and faster than any of the adaptations that are being proposed for mitigating climate change and adapting to the impacts of climate change so for example in looking at green infrastructure and green jobs and instituting different energy systems those are much more carefully planned transitions in energy and agricultural systems than anything we've seen during this so it's really put it in context I think and given us a chance to think ahead and plan instead of just react to a disaster yeah I mean that's fascinating to me because it has put it in context but it really I like what you said about essentially what drives human behaviour right and it makes me think about the the wailing movement when there was a time not so long ago when we would kill these huge beautiful animals because they were so useful you could use them to light lamps they were tasty and you could make lipstick and basically right and what you know what was the cause of that that market decline it wasn't that we voluntarily decided that we weren't going to kill whales anymore not really it was that we discovered crude oil and that was a more effective way to lubricate things machines and to light things so yeah that's pretty telling um yeah I have been uh sorry before you um go on I have to remember that I should ask our audience that if you have a question to submit to uh Victoria Kena please submit them to think tech facebook page and uh I think that if you google think tech facebook you will find it and then you can ask Victoria some other questions and not this year from me so Victoria are we gonna um follow on yeah I was just going to um really talk about you know how we could uh how this this discussion with looking at the pandemic and thinking about it in relation to the climate crisis you know something that we've thought about a lot and has been something coming from a lot of the um kind of anti mitigation movements in the climate world are saying well you know we need to concentrate more on individual actions rather than these big systemic changes so um you know concentrate on things like driving less and flying less eating less meat changing out your appliances which are of course things that we should do to help this this economic transition take place however what this crisis I think has also really shown is that individual actions alone are not enough to fix the climate crisis so if we look at if we look at some of the the impacts that we're seeing with decreases in in carbon dioxide levels I think that since this has started we've seen our decrease in emissions go down by about 5.5 percent and so that's looking at when I say emissions I mean greenhouse gases so these are things that the the things in the atmosphere that are trapping heat so so we're we've seen about a five five point five percent decrease so far which is a whopping change it's bigger than anything we've seen in decades even compared to like the last the last recession in 2008 it didn't come close but even that is nowhere near what we would need to get our get our global temperature down to limiting it to 1.5 or two degrees C above above that the average temperatures that we're trying to time trying to keep the global temperature too right and just can I just translate for our non-scientist viewers like myself by C you mean Celsius yes sorry yeah and then in Fahrenheit Celsius is that is a 1.8 it is yeah but it's not like a direct conversion right okay and and what we're talking about direct conversions it's just it's is that right to say that two degrees Celsius is sort of a guess it's not you know like that's sort of an aspirational target I mean if we hit that will we be safe will we have fixed the climate change prices um well nobody really knows and it's interesting you should bring that up in relation to you know kind of why we don't know and why we use models to talk about these things so something that is another parallel between the climate world and the COVID pandemic is that we've seen a lot of models come into kind of public discourse and we're talking about if we do these things how will the temperature change in the future if we do these these mitigating things to control the spread of the virus how will that change how we see it grow in in cities and across the globe and these models are very uncertain and so as scientists people who work with these models and create them we're used to seeing those kinds of uncertainties and working within different scenarios of the future but I think a lot of times people are thrown when they see these projections and then they don't happen but one of the other parallels between both climate climate models and the virus models are that the future is very dependent upon what we do right so in the models our actions are very responsible for what scenario plays out in the future so if we see something happen that wasn't being predicted two weeks ago maybe it's because we changed our behavior for the better and change the future right so to translate that into a sort of a hawaii example we had some modeling coming out of well various universities in other countries as well and and then relevant to hawaii there was a prediction that on the 3rd of May we would be in a situation where we had a deficit of ICU beds by about 127 and the dates today is I'm going to say the 28th of April 2020 and that hasn't happened so does that mean that we've sorted out coronavirus and so can people keep going back onto the beaches like they want to that's definitely not what it means but I would say that the comparison of the projection with how we've done so far in controlling it in hawaii is a testimony to the effectiveness of a lot of the policies and how well they've been instituted at at local levels great thank you victoria and we're just going to go to a quick break and then we're back we're going to hear more from dr victoria kina talking about the coronavirus and the climate change connections aloha i'm john david and the host of history lens on think tech hawaii history lens deals with contemporary events and looks at them through a historical perspective or what we call a history lens the show is streamed live on think tech hawaii dot com thanks so much for watching our show we look forward to seeing you then mahalo and aloha hi we're back with east west center insights i'm karina liens and today i'm having a fascinating conversation with a hydro climatologist dr victoria kina welcome back victoria thanks so uh we were having fun geeking out before and uh i wanted to get straight back into it so um talking about the coronavirus and climate change this um keep hearing this idea of a silver lining um basically people equating air pollution to carbon dioxide and perhaps if we could look at uh slide one and then you can tell me um should i be relaxing about getting on that plane as soon as i'm allowed to yeah sure so something that um we've been seeing a lot of and if you follow like internet memes you've seen um i'm sure some that are you know like we are the virus the earth is healing and then you know pictures of um you know buffalo is wandering the street of buffalo buffalo new york a joke but um but really it says to bring up a question is is this a silver lining for climate change and what we're seeing um so this this figure that we have up is from iq air and it's really showing that um in some of the world's major cities uh so we're looking at particulate matter 2.5 levels which is a very damaging um type of air pollution um that's come from a lot of types of industries uh and we're seeing these huge decreases in major cities around the world compared to the same period in 2019 so um if you look at deli that's the climb of up to 60 percent which is huge um now this is this is good for lungs and air pollution in in general um but it's not really productive to think of the the pandemic as a silver lining for climate change in any way um and particulate matter and air pollution are not the same thing um as carbon dioxide emissions right so they're two different things and carbon dioxide emissions are actually largely driving global warming um and particulate matter ironically um can actually serve as uh something to bounce the heat away in the atmosphere if you have those particles um blocking uh blocking the the uh radiation from getting to the earth um but uh these changes are temporary and they're linked to a global disaster um people are getting sick dying and they're grieving for a life that they and their children might never see again so there's really no silver lining in this um we've already talked as well about how these decreases um which has been about five five point five percent decrease in carbon dioxide in the past couple months are not nearly what would be needed to show up in our record uh so I think that it's uh carbon brief and scripts have done studies that have showed we need to be reducing our emissions by about 10 per year um to get to a level where we're going to see that in our atmosphere and in the global temperature and I might just note now that we're not seeing changes in temperature currently because our actions 10 years ago uh from polluting are still being seen in our atmosphere today um so there's that time lag um of of what we do in terms of actions and when we see the rewards yeah that makes so much sense but it's I think it's the thing that's frequently forgotten that the time lag is real and so then that's that kind of goes back to that planning point that you said earlier we have to plan for the future and then um we'll see the results uh and while you're talking about particulates it made me think about um all of my time in um in China and you want to cough so I wanted to ask is there a direct link between climate change and um and human health and and pandemics in general yeah so um if we could put up the second slide on the screen it's actually a um a figure from the world health organization which you've seen a lot in the news lately um this is from a report that they did in 2015 which looks specifically at human health and climate change in specific island countries um and so this is from our regional WHO office um the head of the regional office actually named climate change is one of the top three threats to Pacific Island health in 2019 um sure in 2020 there would be one more um three top three threats to Pacific Island health with uh the COVID crisis um but we we often do see a relationship between things like drought uh extreme rainfall and other events associated with the El Nino southern oscillation which you might have heard of um in the region with the spread of things like vector-borne disease in the islands um things that uh so vectors meaning mosquitoes spreading things like dengue um chikagunya things like that um but what we also talk about is that climate change is really a threat multiplier um in the spread of the disease and in um uh disasters everywhere so a lot of time climate is not the reason why things are happening but it is making it much much worse so that multiplier can cause um illness in tens of thousands of additional people whether uh where there wouldn't have been um the other direct link between climate change and pandemics is that direct connection between the pressure that humans put encroaching on wild habitats so doing things like urban development um agriculture and reducing the habitat for uh additional biodiversity um so about 75 percent of new and infectious diseases each year are zoonotic which means that they come from animals and a lot of times it's those animals being in close proximity to humans um so really something that we should be looking at going forward is how can we create a more holistic way of living that integrates considerations of ecosystem services and conservation of land um and increased biodiversity and putting climate resilience into planning for our future how can we integrate that with human health and global security uh which human health is a big part um we know that the planet support system is declining faster than ever the IPCC the intergovernmental panel on climate change and the science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystems have services have shown that they're declining faster than ever um an increased biodiversity has been shown to inhibit the spread and introduction of pathogens in a lot of ways so we need to better understand how climate change and environmental stress affect those patterns of disease both hosts and vectors like mosquitoes and other animals um and things like improving biosecurity and health protocols within the pacific region and across the world can help with that hmm um gosh that's interesting no and there's a lot there and uh it's funny my immediate thought was do you know when you're thinking of humans and animals coming together I did initially think of tiger king but when I got past that um I was thinking about um one of my assignments um I used to be a New Zealand diplomat as you know and I was sent to um Colombo and Sri Lanka to negotiate for elephants um because of the convention on um against trade and dangerous species uh elephants have to be gifted and the reason that a country like Sri Lanka would want to gift elephants and they love them is because there's a real um crossover between the habitat where humans live and where elephants live and um it might seem pretty foreign to us here in beautiful sunny Hawaii by um all throughout Sri Lanka it's just really common because um humans and elephants have lived together for hundreds of years there uh and so yes for those of you and of course of the DMZ um uh and between that area between um the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea where there has been said to be um increased biodiversity and specifically I haven't I haven't actually no I don't know if this has been verified but um more sightings of white tigers um and so I digress because I think tigers did you see that the tiger in the Bronx Zoo actually got um COVID-19 it was like coughing yeah so the the zoonotic diseases are still are still spreading and changing but yeah yeah so so sorry you go I was just I was just going to go into to more issues about kind of like resilience of of um those periurban spaces and as you know the Swiss Center also does research on um you know kind of models of disease in these transitional areas between cities and forests and wild areas and um looks at their looks at their their capability of spreading disease and harboring um yeah hey so um I'm gonna go from tigers to you uh I was fascinated when I read your bio so at the beginning I described you as a hydroclimatologist um but you also have an engineering degree um and so um why why did you become a scientist as opposed to an engineer um well I would say I'm still I mean my PhD is in engineering I'm I I may not do functional um you know digging in the dirt putting pipes in or designing um you know wetland systems that filter um polluted water type of engineering um but really what I was always interested in was that practical application of scientific knowledge so doing the research and finding a way to make it applicable on the ground now which for climate changes um becoming more and more important um so the the research that we do in my research group the Pacific Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment or Pacific RISA program um is a NOAA funded uh research group that is interdisciplinary and it supports communities in Hawaii and the Pacific in adapting to the impacts of climate variability and change um so with social and physical scientists working together um as well as working with legal and policy scholars um and policy makers and natural resource managers we really want to produce climate research that is actionable at local and regional scales um and by working with the east west center we've been um you know very lucky to be allowed to work with all sorts of um managers and governments at different scales throughout the region to really translate this information into useful uh management and policy yeah thanks Victoria I mean as a as a former policy maker myself um I'm just really proud of your work because I just know how applicable it really is and as a daughter of the Pacific I'm grateful to you and your team for the work that you do to support the communities in the Pacific particularly here in the north Pacific and we've only got a couple of minutes to go so um I just wanted to ask the question I've always wanted to ask you what why climate change like why do you care um I actually it's it's interesting I um I don't think we talked about this before but um I used to actually be a biomedical engineer um so I worked with genetics and mutations and things like that but I changed because of the I wanted something that dealt with the environment um and which I was able to make a um make a difference now with what I saw as coming as you know this huge climate crisis um and I also didn't want an experimental organism that was going to feel pain so I was using mice before in my research and I just had enough of that and so now I use water and the planet and look at data from that um and I can I can do good and um help get the science into um informing policies which we see now as you know more more important than ever to create these relationships with policymakers where you're a trusted source of scientific information and data where I'm sorry I have to cut you off because we're about to go to the next step okay thanks everybody this has been east west center insights and we're going to get Victoria on again and we're going to listen to her and learn from her again but thanks for joining us and we'll be here in two weeks time Tuesday two o'clock where east west center insights I'm Karina Lyons aloha


The following is a presentation of TFNN The power trading hour with your host David white Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> now David white Hey It's another great day and of course another wonderful power trading hour is coming at you and It really doesn't matter where you're at as long as you're here at this time The following takes place between 2 p.m. And 3 p.m. We've been sliding a bit. We had some for the most part fairly decent earnings We've got Stratasys up 12 points Qualcomm up 13 huge beat And now we've got some cognitive Dissonance between what Apple saying and Qualcomm did they had about an extra 500 million dollars in sales That was not forecast got up to almost six one hundred and sixty bucks. It's 159 96 but a big part of the tech industry The big loser of the day is Roku We talked a bit about how I thought maybe that one could go down on the kind of the end of shut downs And people just sitting around watching Netflix But also None of those TVs or few of those TVs that are all sitting in containers at Long Beach getting anywhere close To a Walmart or a Target for Christmas Maybe everybody's already bought new TVs doesn't really need any another thought out there But I mean there's just not a lot to make me think that Roku Which disappointed last time disappointed this time Is probably coming back to maybe something where I may be able to understand How it makes money and therefore be able to forecast it Intel came out with their new chip. We talked about that last week I've been watching a reviews pretty much all morning to see whether or not This is the thing that's finally gonna make people think Intel has decided that it's not going to throw the game Certainly the chips getting fairly good reviews most interesting is The only why this thing does perform well in a windows 10 box Without a windows 11, it leaves a lot on the table. There's some other things going on in that same sector I've got a play in the tech insider kind of based on some of the new technology Intel is showing but any kind of flat, but it could be worse But certainly for Intel they finally have a chip For a desktop that competes with the top end of AMD's At least for gaming and probably some other things, but there's a lot of new technology That just isn't quite there yet for this new chip Intel There's new faster memory. There's faster Slots to plug things in and that may be the big part with Intel right now kind of ahead of the game And that is video cards going from PCI 4 to PCI 5 Which would again be double the speed of what we have now So we're looking at that but market this kind of Pulling back. We do have a Tim Ord on today He'll be on in the next segment. So I better get all that stuff ready But if you have a question About a specific stock you may want to go ahead and email me now and We'll talk about it at the breaks and Maybe he can come back after he's had a chance to look at it he kind of a Somebody that didn't make snap decisions. So we need to give him a couple of minutes to look at it Maybe during the breaks. Maybe that'd be the best way to handle it. Anyway, I got several charts today You'll go through those We'll talk about what else is going on in the market with him And we'll see if I can't get back to Intel before the end of the day and maybe some of these earnings But that's kind of it.  I think it was down about 12% earlier in the morning And then popped up and opened at about four or three percent and sold off But kind of like the entire market this kind of light variable We're still off about 10 12 points off the highs in the S&P 12 points as we speak. What's to do a little bit of history repeating On this a day in 1982 something that I've been talking about to somebody Just the last couple of days was interesting compact created the first 100% IBM compatible bios It didn't I'm gonna say it was 95% compatible. Not everything ran on it. It should the only proprietary component of the IBM PC spending 1 million to do so in 1982 which was cheap To reverse engineer the IBM bios using clean room techniques This also allowed them to avoid copyright infringement charges Finally, they were legal and financially prepared for the inevitable lawsuit IBM would bring against them Which was dismissed in about six months by 1983 The Clone Wars would start and I'm not talking about bad Star Wars sequels. Have they made a good one? I Personally want to go to Congress become a senator and ram through some Run rams through some Legislation that would get anybody associated with Star Wars right now Put to and put on a small prison island Somewhere where they can't affect us anymore by making more and horrible Star Wars Sequels, but I do digress Anyway compact, of course became a big company did very well until the late 1990s Ended up being bought by Dell. I think pretty sure they still are Dell computers pretty horrible. Of course, we talked about them separating from The VM what is it virtual? Yeah, I'll think about it in a second here the folks with the virtual routers Which we talked about earlier this week, but not much left out there for all this But compact You know had the first what that was called a luggable Computer at the time had that kind of nine inch screen inside of a big box with two floppy drives that both had a whopping 180 Kilobytes on each one and of course later on they got flipped to double-sided and You can get 360 Kilobytes on a floppy. Wow. Did we think we were living in tall cotton those days? As we looked at other things probably the most interesting thing to me is the dollar move today You know what about 50 cents off of The lows around midnight But that's it. And yes, Tim will talk about gold. I know I know We're going to the Oracle of Omaha And he'll be back just after the break here, but yeah, email me I'll give him to him at the first break Be back in him Are you grinding in the market but seeing little to no return or are you a successful trader simply looking to make your job a Little easier learn to take the path of least resistance with David White's powerful trading newsletter David White is an accomplished trader whose deep understanding of technology and the markets allows him to consistently find and share winning trades Support and resistance define the ranges in which stocks trade by understanding these trading ranges David White is able to find the path of least resistance David White's trading newsletter the path of least resistance is delivered daily Before the markets open to make every trading day an easy win Visit tfnn.com today and subscribe to David White's ultimate trading newsletter for $119 a month and try all of our newsletters risk-free with our 30-day money back guarantee Take the path of least resistance at tfnn educating investors What's separating you from the most successful men and women on Wall Street?

Everybody asking about gold. So I think we know what they're looking for For us to start the day off and we've got some charts here From you. Let me what an idea. Oh, there it is. So we'll park this up, but welcome to the microphones All right. Thank you. Thanks for having me on again Well, we can start with gold gold's a favorite chart Oh, okay. I got that up. Well, it's in DX. Actually, I I did do a report For my report today. I did a monthly GLD chart. I should have probably sent that over but But anyhow, we can do this one. It's gdx and it goes back this chart is a daily and goes back 2014 and the bottom window is an 18 day average of the gdx advanced decline percent and the next one up Next window up is the 18 day average of gdx up down volume percent and Why I found out I only Went back to 2014 if you go back further the chart gets kind of messy So but anyhow all these what I'm going to show is in this current time frame going back What about six years seven years It's worked back this method worked back going back about 20 years, but anyhow, whenever Both gdx up down volume and advanced client indicators get above 35 That's usually not the end of the rally, but just the beginning and It shows basically a big surge in momentum and the the red Vertical lines shows the times that it happened over the last what seven years. So it's Kind of uncommon But over the last couple years usually get about least about once a year that happened back in July of 2019 in 2020 it happened looks like about April and July and it just happened here back in October That both indicators got above 35 and at a minimum The rally will least go for another month and sometimes it'll go for five months So anyhow, we had that big projection off the bottom or both indicators got above plus 35 So Well, I'm assuming here You know the markets pretty much has been a consoling Since last August and I think we turn the corner to the upside as we did have a big surge in momentum Off these advanced client and up down volume indicators So you can have short-term corrections, but again, it's not not usually there actually is not the final highs and I have a Little circle around that pad in there.  We're probably Messing with the right shoulder right now And if you do the calculations or the measurements in order to take the bottom the head and top up to the neckline They'll have a projection up around 39 Which is close to the previous high which is the may high of of this year So I'm thinking that's probably short term. That's where we're going to head With the surgeon again up down volume of advanced client indicators You can have short-term consolidations, but again, it's not usually the final high So what I'm saying here is we'll probably turn the corner of this Solation that's been going on since last August and You know, we're due for you know We've been kind of chopping down sideways and we're due for an impulse wave and I'm thinking that impulse wave Could be starting or actually has started so How long the rally, you know, well, he's got another month to go but you know could be three four months I don't know but I think we'll have some trouble at that 40 range Uh, just because it's a pretty big significant high In the first time we've probably tested we may we may stall Uh And from there, I don't know but short term. I think we've turned the corner to the upside So Okay, and Yeah, the only thing I would say is most people probably don't That listen to the show probably don't hear impulse wave a lot. So can you describe that? Well, there's there's two, uh, I guess there's two market movements There's what they call a consolidation And an impulse wave consolidation. There's just a messy market that kind of works sideways Um, it chops up and down really doesn't go anywhere. Um, you can have a Exhalation phase always talk about it. It's kind of a uh In an upmarket consolidation phase where it kind of chops down to sideways And the market has a hard time going down. That's why it's chopped because the bigger trend's up and uh, the impulse wave is more of a straight line move and it Uh, for example on this example, you know, go if you look back at uh, uh, january 2016 that Rally has started in january 2016. Looks like it ran up to about july there That's what you call an impulse wave And if you look at 2017 january That sideways pattern in there. That's what you call a consolidation pattern Uh, so it kind of just chops up tries to go up can't go up tries to go down can't go down Uh, so when I speak of an impulse wave here, I'm thinking It'll it'll have some minor consolidations will have some minor pullbacks But in general the market's making higher highs and higher lows That's pretty much definition Of an impulse wave That's in an uptrend and downtrend is just the opposite. It makes lower lows The lower highs and that's an impulse wave down. So When I'm talking about an impulse wave here, you can have a short term consolidations But I'm thinking we're not going to break the previous low of uh October It may try to go down towards it, but it's not going to break it So in definition, you know this This low, you know, we may be having right now of the bottom of the right shoulder You know, ultimately we're going to break the previous high we had here a couple of weeks ago Which is around 34. So That if we do break that previous high that's definition of an impulse wave so Well, we've got a we've got a question here from hector who uh Wanted you to take a look at any m He thinks that maybe uh when it shows strength will be done with this consolidation and moving back higher But uh, what's your opinion on any m here? Newmont mind. I Yeah, newmont, um Let me I knew that That's okay. Let me I can't remember it by Hang on one second. Let me get there. Yeah, that's okay Oh, by the way while you're looking that up I also emailed you a ticker that someone else wants to look at so maybe you can get a chance during the break To pull that up. Uh, we'll probably talk about a few more charts and then get to that one But uh at the present time, uh, up 13 points on the scp cash dow 30 down 140 nasdaq Plus 150 rustle down And a little over a tenth of a percent Crude oil Big change out here down Almost two percent. We're going to the break. We'll be back with tim. We'll talk about newmont We'll talk about the one that I emailed him. We'll talk about two other charts.

I'm just old and tired anyway, yeah Newmark mining, uh If we want to talk about that. Yep Uh, yeah, I pulled up the monthly chart. I kind of remember this and uh, we had a rally, uh This is on a monthly chart. I'm kind of looking at the bigger time frames In a nutshell, we broke above the 2012 high It looked like to me that, you know, we closed above it and held above it and we're We're actually just a little bit below it right now But to me that was an accessible breakout and the market pretty much flipped sideways It's uh pretty much 2020. So we kind of like gone nowhere I had between 55 and 70 or a little less than 75 but In generally between 55 and 75 And we had a railroad tracks. I remember that where the marker rallies up really strongly and comes down just as strong um I forgot who's uh uh the guy who Picked that out It's called a railroad track and actually what it looks like is a railroad track because the mark goes straight up Then goes straight back down to where it began and usually those are this showed up on a monthly chart And this pattern showed up and um Looks like a well about mid this year Uh, so and then went back down to almost tested his previous low The previous low looks like around 53 area. We're almost close to there now um But I'm still thinking yeah, I'm looking at the bow and your bands here too. I noticed they're starting to pinch So something Begs about to happen But it's on a monthly chart that doesn't mean it doesn't mean it's going to happen tomorrow It could happen a month from now or even two months from now But when the month of bow and your band start detention, this is getting ready to do Another probably an impulse wave and this sideways trading ring that's been going on for about a year and a half now Will come to an end Um, this is just up well since we're above the 2012 high um Makes sense as the impulse wave be be up, but I don't think this stock At the moment it's ready to move Even though the bow and your pans or bands are starting to come together um You know, maybe we're talking maybe january or something before the actual move will start because another two months The bow and your bands will be even tighter than they are right now, but I'm saying uh, we're holding, you know pretty close To all-time highs I took this chart back quite a few years And ultimately will break higher, but on a near-term basis here. I don't see any rush to buy it. I'll put it that way So I noticed a lot of other charts, you know, uh kind of the big names Are not really responding yet. Uh Even though gdx I think has a bullish pattern here. There's probably only Three or four of those stocks in gdx Is pulling this market up and if you look at the bullish percent index Which is basically the Stocks in the goldmires index are on point figure buy signals. There's only three 33 of them. In other words 70 percent There are a 67 of the stocks in the goldmires index are not on buy signals They're not necessarily on sell signals. They're just not on buy signals either. They're they're not giving a signal at all or their bearish or Money I only a third of them are on buy signals right now So it kind of tells me that There's probably a big rotation going on where there'll be some leaders that really lead You know kind of the uh big gains Where everything else is kind of sitting still and be a rotation Around to some of the bigger names, you know, not all i'm going at once Uh, that's how i'm kind of reading the market anyhow so I think gdx is is good In this setting right here right now where NEM, I don't think this way is set up I think you have another couple of months to wait before it may start to perform So might be a big location going on Yeah, Mike and then ask uh, do you need any m to move to get the gdx going? No, no, I mean it's a big part of it But uh, I say no, uh, I think it'll perform at some point, but not right now um I No, I don't think so, uh, because gdx is actually It did have a sign of strength off the bottom without uh new mop mining doing anything So No, I don't think so. I mean it's It's one of the bellwethers I know but it may it may show strength later on just not right now Oh, that's my okay Uh, I didn't want to point something out just in case anybody's wondering about Uh railroad tracks or tweezers or tops those have been around for a long time I don't know of anybody specific that brought it up, but uh Well, I'm showing it on the screen right now this high at 74 dollars and four cents Which was back on may 28th of the year Is generally there a thrust down or a thrust up and you have I Dental candle going the opposite way right after it Which was generally the idea of and uh back before they had candles and there were just lines It looked like uh railroad tracks or tweezers and that's why they call them tweezers tops and bottoms and railroad tracks But uh, just thought I'd point that out because hey, you don't hear that every day Okay, um Do you um, did you have a chance to look at the one that we did? Uh in yeah that Envx Yeah, envx. I did pull it up. I looked uh try to look at it daily in a kind of It's kind of a fairly new stock started. It looks like january 2001 and The daily was kind of a messy so I flipped to a weekly and um, you know, you can draw a trend line from the uh late february High and connect it to the july high and turn it up. It's kind of a trend line. It's kind of running into it my first impression uh of this could be um a uh I don't know. It kind of looks like three drives to the top pattern, but um It's kind of a hard pattern to figure out. Uh You know, we broke Above the previous highs on a higher volume You know and market extended to get an rsi on the weekly time frames above 70 so The run's kind of extended on a short term basis um You know, I guess it's still on an uptrend, but Uh didn't really have a big base to break out from You know, it's probably not a buy right now The only reason why is is because you know rsi when you get above 70 A lot of times markets kind of extend it and do for some sort of consolidation But in a longer term time frame You know, I'll put it this way. There's a lot better patterns in this one out there that seem to be uh Be a better candidate for a buy. I guess I've put it that way I'm not sure what the the pattern or What in it one industry that this is in And It's a little up in it's lithium ion batteries for Literally everything including cars and stuff. So maybe uh the pullback from crude off of 83 In fact, we had a question for that that I emailed you too So maybe we'll get a chance to look at those other two charts We haven't gotten to and uh a little discussion accrued when we return with uh, Tim Are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the bay area?

Uh chart number one.  Well, let me go another we were talking about batteries and stuff uh, I don't Uh qs is quantum scape corporation, which is also a battery um, and actually they have a they have agreement with the uh Mercedes or they're talking to them. I don't know which one But bill gates did get big and qs is a symbol and it's a battery uh thing also And uh, it looks like a head and shoulders bottom formed on that Uh, I didn't have time to send you a chart But uh qs is another battery uh company That bit bill gave supposedly I I don't have I didn't talk to him personally to verify it But supposedly he's involved with it and also, uh, supposedly there is a connection With uh Mercedes bins with this So, um, all is all rumor. I don't have the facts So don't sue me if it ain't true So anyhow, I looked at it and it does look pretty good to have a Compliance in it. So I don't know if it'll work out or not, but uh the pattern looks pretty good Um, that didn't have a science drink here over the last month Uh, it's doing all the bars of charting Uh, this concern is doing all the right things. I'll put it that way That's good. Okay Let's go back Chart number one Go ahead number one. Okay. This is um This is the uh What it is is the bottom window is a three-day arms next window up is a two-day arms Next window up is the five-day arms and the top window is a ten-day arms And normally when the arms get high it shows panic in the market So I kind of use it to find where bottoms are in the market Uh, so and there's different The longer the average arms index Uh, yeah, that means the longer the time frame So a two-day arms may be a short-term bounce, but to get a ten-day arms and bullies, uh Bullies levels it would assume it'd be more than just a short-term bounce. It would be uh, like a week or two or even a month or two So, you know, the red vertical lines on this chart show when That the two three and five and ten day arms all lined up in the bullish configurations And that's why those lines go back Sometimes they at least most a lot of times they come at bottoms Uh, sometimes they come in mid up trends And on this rally, uh, we have here Even though the marksman going up since, uh first of october The the two three five and ten day trend all in bullish territory That's probably one of the reasons why the market is uh keeps going up here Because uh the ten day Which is and along with the five day is is near bullish or isn't bullish configurations. So Uh the market evidently the public sold this rally as it went up because that's what drives the market up People you look at the definition of a trend Um What it is is the up down There's the up volume divided by the down volume divided by the advancing issues by by the climbing issues So to get the number above 1.5 you gotta have a lot of volume on the down stocks And that implies that the market was being sold Where the public was you know hitting the the bids and driving the down volume lower So anyhow, uh, I thought I'd point that out. It's kind of unusual when the market rallies as much And the trends are still high So it's kind of a hear me a term Bullage indicator. I wanted to just kind of throw that out there We did get it long uh back at the october low We sold out mill the rally and last week we got long again So and one of the reasons why because it is a trend thing So I thought that's kind of interesting Okay, uh, we got uh chart two Chart two, okay that That the previous one dealt with the trend and this one kind of deals with the bicks of the vicks and I just printed this out this morning and It's a it's a third window up from the bottom this stuff. I have written on it with red arrows And usually when the vicks of the vicks three-day average turns down Usually a short term Cell signal it turns back up. It's usually a buy signal.  So it's kind of a unique indicator Um, nobody I know uses it because we kind of I came across it pulling with different indicators And uh, it seems to work pretty well. I'll also point out the market, uh There's up seven days in a row Uh, and if you go google at seven days up in a row You'll come up with a thing that says if marks up seven days row mark will be higher 100% of the time within the next five days with an average gain of 0.7 So even though we're up seven days in a row we'll probably do for some Maybe consolidation here. It's not the final high So even the market does pull back you want to buy it because 84% of the chance They'll be higher within five days So what i'm saying is there's really nothing bearish here in the market right now As far as the s&p is concerned So kind of everything i'm looking at Uh, so far it looks okay And so I don't anticipate anything major Coming here other than minor consolidations Through probably through the rest of the year here So that could you know, it could be a week or so of consolidation But in general I think we're just going to keep moving higher So I did send you over the uh the crude oil graph Okay Uh No, I have not I got the others you sent me Let me see here Uh, yeah, I kind of cut off the top of it because I was never hurry So anyway, just tell me what you think about crude here. I've got about a minute left All right, we broke above uh the previous high of 2019 around 75 and um That trend line goes back, you know, actually all the way back to 2006 And yeah, we broke above it. So to me That 75 on cruise is going to remain support And it's kind of a pretty big breakout So I don't think In general, I think we'll probably pull back to 75 test support And probably head up to the next higher high Which is around 110 And that 110 area is probably real stiff resistance because 2011 2014 that was kind of a An area that the market couldn't get through So it has a lot of price patterns in that area and the more price patterns it has The more resistance it has So my opinion, uh, you got 75 support and you got 110 is resistance Big resistance So that's how I see it Well, we want to thank Tim Hort for being on again.

Maybe they're losing a little business to qualcomm Um, so we'll take a look at that uh other several comments about the financials xlf Is it more about uh, maybe uh, not getting the higher interest rates that everybody wanted to see Or is the uh spector Of evergrande, which is what I asked for when I go to starbucks.

They're not Um, I've kind of looked at 146 80 on the tlt is being in the line between good and bad At least for the economy in the short term Uh 146 81. So we're kind of right at it Hard to tell whether this is more of a reaction to what happened yesterday or with the fed and mildly raising rates Uh, of course that should be good For uh companies like ease and mastercard but not reacting well.

Hi everyone, happy Thursday. I'm Joe for jasphyscasebreaks.com coming at you with a quick little one box break of 2020, 2021, Anini Contender's Draft Picks Basketball. One box random pack break number 23. We're gonna open the boxes, number the packs. Oh, the one box, sorry, it used to be a two box break. It's a one box break now. Number the six packs, randomize your names. Thane and Matt, thank you. And then randomize the numbers, match you up with the pack, rip it open and see what we got. So let's pop this open. Now there's two boxes left from that case. So we'll roll the die, one, two, three for the top box, four, five, six for the bottom box. We'll use that die right there. Off camera, oh, you'll still see it, it's four, one, two, three, four, five, six. So this last box we're gonna save for break number 24. Kobe, which I'm sure we'll do it. It's actually in the store right now if you're watching live, jasphyscasebreaks.com. Now let's open this, where's my, all right, and then I printed these out so we can number the packs. All right, now we can flip back to random.org and randomize your names and randomize the pack numbers eight times, six into two, one, two.

Today's episode is sponsored by Squarespace Well, what can I say? I think I might be kind of in my flop era I haven't shot anything good lately at least in my own opinion, but you know sometimes we can be our own harshest critics However, like any good flop era It's crucial for one to break free of it and I had an upcoming trip to Chicago where I could really let loose and shoot some I don't know Chicago stuff. I'd never been to Chicago before all I really know about it is deep-dish pizza Chicago glizzies bean and Jardia. No, sorry. No Jardinera This whole trip was being put on by our comrades over at the dark room And I wouldn't be going out there alone Although here is your courtesy reminder that we are always alone from the day that we are brought into this world to the day that we Semi-accidentally paraglide into an active volcano several other photographers with much more talent and charisma than me decided to come along as We slicked the city actually that sounds kind of gross. We became city slickers is what I was going for There would be photo walks, beers and cameras and of course a viewing of the masterpiece that everyone should study hard at least once in their Lifetime, Nighthawks, which is basically my photographic northern star In fact, I've pretty much based my entire personality off of Edward Hopper and abandoned old Jason completely So to get the trip started I rode my bike down to LAX Which I had heard has free motorcycle parking that is if you can impress the attendance with a sick wheelie while Unfortunately, I couldn't get it up I did leave my bike there with the hopes that it would not be towed Like any good trip anywhere, it's really more about the people that you go with so this one was already off to a bad start After trekking across town on cloud nine or maybe just delirious from extreme sleep deprivation We arrived at our hotel. Oh, we're on one. Oh, we are. I just got to my room, so Room tour. Not too bad. Not too bad. This is the sink. This is where What I'll be doing there, but something I don't know What this is about, but we can go ahead and Hide that in a dark place. Not too bad Let's check out the view So this is kind of funny. This iPad controls like climate curtains blinds lights colors. I'm in room 1502 and this is set for room 1507 I've just been adjusting Adjusting somebody else's room controls. So probably gonna have fun with that later Anyway, it was time for action. It was time to load up some of Jared Polin's worst nightmare film We didn't travel across half the planet for no reason. We were in Chicago to shoot some hot bangers I decided to keep it cinematic and bring my x-pan or Fuji TX1 or hole in my bank account Whatever you want to call it But to spice things up I brought along a Nikkor shift lens to use with an adapter instead of the standard x-pan lens It's like the 45 millimeter. This shift lens is interesting It's a more economical way to get into a wider angle lens on that system and dropping like 6 G's for a 30 millimeter But can it actually deliver? This is the Only lens that I brought it works on the x-pan and it pretty much covers the whole thing I would say the big issue with it is that there's no like rangefinder connection So everything's scale focused. Oh, I need to put batteries in the camera Anyone else have like keys on their key thing that they don't know how it goes towards but you're kind of hoping one day One of your mysterious relatives passes away and they tell you that key was actually the key to a secret chamber That is hiding a sacred treasure. Oh, dude. I have a coin. What am I doing? I got change at the airport So stupid sometimes The last time I shot this it was having a light leak issue It was coming from a gap in the rear door here So if you just put black gaff tape over it, it fixes a little pro tip for you Anyways, people were slowly trickling in for the weekend of events Caleb Glenn Jonathan and I and Trev unfortunately went for a walk and shot some cityscapes each one different and totally unique from one another I wouldn't really say I got anything worthwhile yet. This shot is fine I like the cab action here and the lights overhead and this shot is okay too with the lady sitting at the table here But I still feel like I was missing the mark a little bit. Oh, well like any good struggling artist There was time to source my creativity from unhealthy substances For dinner we walked about 200 miles to go to this barbecue spot that was highly recommended And it was solid on the barbecue front Unfortunately, the max out was seasoned with asbestos or something because it tasted like butthole and anybody with good taste agreed with me There was some sick neon signs all around town on the way back But I went against my own film photography oath and didn't shoot them mostly because I had 200 ISO in the camera And there wasn't quite enough light romantic For a night in by myself Anyway after the 8 30 a.m. Pre-game at the bar we headed out to the river for an architectural boat tour of the city And I was hoping some x-band shots would come flying out of me like piss on a windy day This shot is a good start it shows scale and context really well But the colors are bland if our subject here was looking this way instead to that would have bounced the shot out nicely But when you only have a split second to nab the shot and adjoining b-roll you take what you can get Anyway whilst on a boat tour hosted by a lady who's giving off hot strong angry substitute teacher vibes feet That would out Eiffel Gustav Eiffel's tower Eventually I did finish off the gold in the camera in an unspectacular display of true mediocrity I'm trying to be more positive about my work overall, but yeah this role just wasn't doing it for me 20 shots Kodak gold x-band.  I don't know what it is, but it's a very thin film stock It's 400 ISO and I decided to throw on the yellow cat piss filter to cut out some of the blue and hopefully add some drama To the sky anyway as the boat collided with the bridge and began taking on water We headed out to the open lake for one final nice view of the city before we all went down with the ship These shots are overall fine. They're very contrasty, which I think was the goal wolf man is an okay film stock I wouldn't say it's the sharpest. It's also got this interesting background texture to it Which may be in part because of how paper thin the film is Eventually we cruised on down to lower Whacker Street, which Trev thinks is the most hilarious things that were heard I finished off the wolf man with this shot of two bros with so much sexual tension They couldn't be anywhere near each other of the 20 shots of wolf man in the x-band Maybe only like 10 of them were good enough to show but still no portfolio shots on our way to deep dish pizza I deep dish slam some FPP x2 in the x-pan x2 is just Eastman double X cine film I believe the same stuff is sinister BW xx 200 ISO black and white halations. You already know the drill This isn't your first day of film photography But if it is your first day of film photography You should know that Kodak is like two minutes away from bringing back color infrared film and you can grab your nearest flaming hot Mountain Dew and chug and solidarity and Kodak will totally listen to you In the dark seedy underbelly of lower Whacker I shot this it's just Caleb But it's very dramatic and moody the lighting from the street above coming down the stairs is a big part of that And the various hits of artificial light turned out really nice Here's another spot of light I found and barely had enough ISO to capture but it's not too bad These lower Whacker shots are pretty good, but I know I could do better So I made a note of it and I'd be back in a couple of days to prove it Anyway at lunch and sporting my Shakira shirt that is awesome and literally nobody ever commented on the whole time I was there we pounded some deep-dish pizza that was kind of soggy It was fine, but dense and too moist.  Yeah, I think there's like a 70% chance I guess you'll see in two seconds since these are from New York We met up with sissy Lou to do a podcast and she shot some 110 that she then a dark room print Probably the best photo anyone's ever taken of me. It's crazy that 110 can actually scale up to I think this is an 8 by 10 So And then we got probably the cutest couple on the planet That morning things were gonna change up a little bit Juan the mastermind behind beers and cameras offered up his Leica m7 As a ritualistic blood sacrifice to the channel. He let me use it that day I'd never used an m7 before but I'm a big fan of the m6 the biggest difference being that the m7 has an automatic mode that is Aperture priority, which means you can set the aperture you want to use and the camera will calculate your shutter speed for you Super handy for quick street photography, which is more or less what I'd be doing that day. What's up, man? just loading a Camera Reference I believe the lens he had on the camera was a Voigtlander 35 millimeter 1.5 Unfortunately, the rain was somewhat Campering our efforts, but that morning we met up with a large group of photographers for a photo walk around Millennium Park Which features the bean a metallic sculpture that floated down from the skies one day and emits an ominous Hum that occasionally vaporizes people standing near it. It's origins are still a mystery In an effort to escape the rain a hundred photo nerds descended upon the cultural center and probably ruined the performance I was taking place in there at the time But it was worth it for some sweet photography on the m7 like this shot. I Don't know what it is exactly, but I like it a lot the foreground subjects are silhouetted The lighting is wonderful and I like that we can see the buildings in the distance This shot is probably the best from the cultural center. It's Steven deep in contemplation about I don't know Steven stuff Like documentaries probably the lighting from the front window is nice and diffused which Roger I and directly to his face against the dark background I love the silhouette of his backpack against the spot of light on the wall behind him too. It all just worked out Well, anyway after getting kicked out of the cultural center for underexposing film We once again hit the streets and headed back to the beam where we met up with some familiar faces from the days of this channel's past Know what I finally came face-to-face with my one true idol. No, not Caleb the ever-elusive gold Hassy just as brilliantly gold as it is Hassee For popping into the hotel for the night I shot this quick moment across the street and it's one of the best from the trip The lighting the setting and the silhouette of the subject all just make it look very noir and I really like that And to top that I also took this in the hotel lobby before returning the Leica M7 to one of the 36 exposure role of HP5 In the Leica M7 I had 16 keepers and maybe two or five portfolio shots I don't know there was some good ones in there and I'm trying to be as objective as possible Which means I second-guess myself as much as possible. It seemed that now with the trip coming to an end I was finally hitting my stride. Luckily we had one more half day the next day So we said why not be horribly hung over for it and we hit the hotel lobby bar The next morning I decided to load up some low-mote red scale. I've been saving for a special occasion Unfortunately, like me outright rejecting vegetables the X-Pan outright rejected the red scale That's weird. It's not giving me like a frame number. Oh weird. It's not even rewinding My X-Pan does not like this rule of red scale something is going on Rest in peace only roll of red skill that I brought of this 36 exposure role of red scale on the X-Pan I got zero photos that I would keep and zero portfolio shots might change my mind later though Anyway, so I put in some HP5 again and it worked like normal because I immediately turned around and shot this It reminds me of Edward Hopper's sunlight in an empty room painting except more depressing and with more environmental city context instead of what I can only imagine is an 80-foot drop-off right into shark infested waters last day in Chicago It's been a really fun trip. It's been busy. It's been jam-packed our flight doesn't leave till later So we're gonna go to the Art Institute See a little bit more Chicago But time to spare before the Art Institute We descended back down into the depths of lower Whacker once again, which Trev still thought was hilarious I shot some solid work down here A lot of it was repeats from the last time except now with a somewhat more Inflated ISO and ego why not throw that in there, too? But some of it was fresh and exciting like this shot on HP5 Which somehow barely held on to both the shadow and highlight details. Anyway, that was kind of a wrap on all of it I was at the height of my photography for that weekend, but it was time to go home Where do I stand with the 35 millimeter Nikkor on the X-Pan? Good question That was totally unprompted. I probably won't continue using it like I said before it doesn't fully cover the X-Pan Pano format, so you just end up cropping your scans in a little bit Which probably changes the effective focal length to somewhere around 40 millimeters not too far off from the standard X-Pan 45 millimeters and at least that has rangefinder compatibility plus the 45 millimeters a little bit more compact on the body And you don't smack it into everything when you spontaneously pull a 180 But speaking of you better spontaneously turn around and leap at this incredible opportunity to build a website through today's sponsor Squarespace I talked a lot about portfolios in this video But what's the point in having a portfolio if nobody can see it online?

It was really cool to meet everyone that came out to the meet-ups and have some one-on-one time with y'all But should be hitting only fans sometime soon. I feel like I got some good stuff, too These lower wacker shots are phenomenal and this cafe shot is the gift that keeps on given It almost looks staged how well it's layered and lit Just a lucky moment or street intuitiveness that I developed over a long weekend. You be the judge I do think I had to warm up a little bit before I found this magic stride Where I was shooting continuous work that I didn't immediately discard I just have to figure out a way to get the Photography back and forth for play out of the way before I go to a new city so I can just start off on a right foot Anyway, I made it back to LAX and my bike was still there. So all's well that ends. Well, I guess I hope you enjoyed this Chicago episode and if I dissed some of your food, I'm sorry, but it sucked So yeah
