Ladies and gentlemen, we're back here live at the prison of investment coming to you guys and girls live all the way from the beautiful City of state of Denver, Colorado via Halalulu, Hawaii if you haven't done so already Please go ahead and make sure you hit that like subscribe Comment and share button But ladies and gentlemen as you guys the girls can see the topic we have today many people hear about it all the time You know, it's that dreadful topic of retirement retirement income. How can we retire? Will social security be there I get phone calls all the time emails inquiring about hey My dad is looking to retire. My mom is looking to retire. They don't know if they can retire in this episode We're going to talk about different retirement income strategies So yourself as we age and get a little bit older people are looking to exit the workforce Even if you're an entrepreneur you still one day are looking to exit the workforce But today we have a very special guest as you guys and girls can see from D square financial group We have mr. Demetrius Johnson Demetrius Johnson is been in the financial industry for a good time here He's joining us here from Tennessee. I don't want to push today I know he's I know it's outside of Knoxville, but it's what is it a Oak Ridge, Tennessee? Oak Ridge Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Oh, oh great Tennessee is in the building today. So, you know, let's get him a little round of applause So Demetrius, thank you for tuning in today We talk what first of all tell people a little bit about yourself I didn't really get to go too much into you about your your long history into the financial industry Then we'll jump into some other other topics that people want to hear. Yeah, you know I've kind of run the gambit of the financial services industry. I started out I'm 45 years old just turned 45 just this year and I started out in the industry back right out of high school I took a very non-traditional route to financial services got my security's licenses at a very early age You know got series 6 and series 7 and series 63 and all these investment licenses You know in my 19, you know my late teens and early 20s and so I learned a lot about Mutual fund trading and stocks and what have you I've had the opportunity to work at a number of fortune 500 companies And most recently I've helped with the state treasurer with a program that just launched this year the Colorado secured savings program and so the entirety of my career my working years has been in financial services in one capacity or another and so You know with that I've launched d-squared financial group And I've attempted to take a little bit from all of the companies that I've worked for and roll them into a Product or a level of service that I can offer to the people who I feel like needed the most Which is the middle-class families and small business owners So that's really my target group right now is dealing with those guys. So, you know, what kind of brought about d-squared financial group as company so that's really what I'm doing here in Tennessee is attempting to help underserve communities by Providing them with the same level of service and financial planning skills That wealthy folks have had access to so that's really you know my mission and kind of my goal is to help people to you know relieve themselves of what I kind of perceived to be something of a Predatory financial system it can be and so there's different ways that you can set yourself up for retirement And as you know Prince, there's investments. There's life insurance. There's real estate There's a number of different ways that you can put your money to work for you I so happen to have decided to spend the second half of my career focusing on the life insurance portion of You know creating generational wealth and creating You know retirement income strategies. So You know, I've used the latest technology to help use a logic-based approach to helping people to accumulate wealth and to Hopefully transfer and create generational wealth for others Okay, now when I ask you this question here you was on the Colorado you was on the board with on the Colorado State Treasurer Yeah, young you talk about yeah savings program. Yeah, what's that about and yeah People what was you know, I know we talked about this offline and you know, Dave Young's came on to the podcast I spoke about it. Yeah a little bit as well. So I would tell us about it You know and congratulations and big kudos for doing that definitely, you know big respect for that Yeah, that Colorado secure savings program. I'm very proud to have been a part of that It's you know, somewhat of a capstone of my career in that I was able to be a part of something that is slated to create a 10 to 15 billion dollar impact to the state of Colorado and it's by doing something very You know inexpensive something that is very logic-based and just offering something to small business employees That was previously not available to them readily So, you know, the secure savings program is something that is similar to what has been rolled out in states like California and Illinois and other places and I was on the board to help determine the feasibility and do the research For the plan and so the governor took our recommendation to implement it Dave Young the treasurer was on the the chair of that board and The implementation has started here in in 2023 and so small business owners will Help to facilitate Access to traditional and Roth IRAs to their employees So these are small business employees that are normally between, you know, maybe five and fifty employees and so We have found that historically When it comes to having access to retirement plans like a 401k plan Most small business owners It's cost prohibitive for them to do that and so by offering something that is already available Which is a traditional IRA or a Roth by simply creating a portal for these small business employers to offer this to their employees will encourage them to invest and You know, we found out that, you know, it's more likely That if you set up a plan like this on an auto enrollment type of way That people will be more likely to stay with the plan So this colorado secure savings program if you work for a small business and that small business Is part of your onboarding and your enrollment says hey, you know, we're participating in the colorado secure savings program They're able to make contributions to a Roth or traditional IRA And if they leave that employer, they're part of the gig economy a lot of the gen Xers and the Gen Z people They'll hop from job to job. It's a portable plan that they can You know, take with them and so they can, you know, make maximum contributions to their Roth or their traditional IRA and Have access to that and they're auto enrolled into it and so Um, we found that people are 15 times more likely to stay enrolled in a plan if they are auto enrolled in it So if we begin with the assumption that everybody wants the plan for retirement Um, you know, that's what kind of drove that auto enrollment Functionality so they can elect out of it if they want to but it's just assumed that You do want to participate and make some contribution to your retirement now Who's managing this? I'm a small business. I have employees. I'm like, okay. That sounds like a good idea What do I go? How do I sign up? Who manages this? I is this an independent manager? Government manage. How does that work? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so the state is helping to Uh facilitate and absorb any of the costs that may be incurred by um small business owners So far as any type of administration of the of the plan, um, You know or any and any of that is being absorbed by the state This is going to be cost neutral to the state the way that we've set this up We have hired, um, you know money managers that will be managing the the funds that will be offered within the plan and You know, like I said, the the cost for the state Is neutral over the period of time You know, like I said 10 to 15 years The state of colorado will see between a 10 to 15 billion dollar savings And that comes by way of having people more properly prepared for retirement and less dependent upon government programs And so this program is more about providing access To something that you know, people may not be aware is is available to them because the fact of the matter is most time When people invest their first experience with investing is what their 401k plan It's with something that is offered through their employer And then they go on and learn more about investing and do other things potentially And so but if you work in the gig economy, you work for uber or you work for, you know, this this small business or that small business Um, they may not offer a 401k plan But we still want to make sure that they have a clear portal and a clear way to have access and and put it in front of them Okay now When someone goes in they had a small business is the small business owner are they required to offer this?  It's not a 401k plan. The security plan. Yes So yes, so you must you not offering them a retirement plan what you're doing as a small business owner Is that you're helping to be kind of a you're helping to offer the secure savings program to your employees So that they have to offer it to them They the employees can opt out of it if they want to But it's something that they have to offer to the employees So But it that it's mandated that they offer it to their employees. Okay, so so don't have to do any matching or anything like that They just have to say hey Will you hire someone you must at least offer them this saving plan and inside that savings plan Is it just like a traditional Roth? Yeah, one k type plan where you have an index is things like that Yeah, it's just like a um, you know, like a it's a normal Roth IRA Account that they can open or a traditional IRA account and they can actually use this account to roll over 401k assets from previous employers So if they've got a whole bunch of 401k is kind of lingering out there from old employers They can just roll it into you know a traditional IRA And you know Do other things with it pull it all together And have those assets work for them And use it part of as part of a plan because you don't want to have your retirement assets kind of lingering out there You know, you talked to Dave young and he also is in charge of another aspect of the treasury is that unclaimed property and so And so you don't want to have your 401k assets out there just lingering it So the secure savings program is a great vehicle to roll over assets into as well now That's the most um, you know, one of the more recent things that I've been focusing on Um, and there's another component that I'm looking to um to add to that program potentially and You know being on this podcast you guys are kind of the first ones that will be aware of this. Um, but you know there is um A system that my firm has set up um And it revolves around another portion of retirement income And that has to do with you know, everybody talks about investing But life insurance is also something that can be used to help Create retirement income and that can come in the form of you know permanent policies, whether that's um whole life or or index universal life And you know, there's always conversations out there. It seems like You know as to whether you should have investments or whether you should have life insurance Well, the answer is you should have both, right? So, um, you know, when you have proper coordination of your Assets whether that's your investment assets your real estate assets your life insurance and others And I throw life insurance in there as an asset because Whole life and universal life the cash value that is accumulated within those policies While not an investment in and of themselves Is an asset and is part of an asset class and it's part of a guaranteed asset class Okay, and so and the reason that it's called a guaranteed asset class is because the cash value within life insurance Is not subject to loss Okay, and so there are there are dividends um that are paid on both index universal life and on Is this going to be something like a iul? Yeah, so my policy Yeah, so there are iul's which are index universal life policies which track various indices And then there's also whole life And so whole life is a dividend based growth whereas index universal life is index based growth within a life insurance policy And so both of these tools Can be used especially in a high interest rate environment, which we are currently in To help rapidly accumulate well um and not be subject to any of the risk of the market And so again the question is not whether you should have investments or life insurance the question is You know, how do you properly coordinate the two together to generate the best outcome? Is is my opinion of with those two things and so you have one bucket of money where You know, you're doing your investment management and your portfolio management You got your 401k and you've got you know, all these stocks or or exchange traded funds or what have you But then you also are able to take advantage of a rule And I think it's tax code 70702. I think is what it is and it has to do with Modified endowment contracts and when you overfund a permanent policy when you pay more than the premium you are Increasing the amount of money that is going into the cash portion of the policy And is accumulating dividends. You're accumulating cash more rapidly because like right now Whole life is paying about five five point seven five percent maybe six percent Which is a good dividend rate, especially considering that none of that money subject to loss and it is liquid So throughout retirement if you overfund these life insurance policies or you structure them properly It can be another pool of money that you can draw from as income in retirement There are living benefits with life insurance and you know, there's many many living benefits But for the purposes of retirement income and wealth accumulation The ways that you can take advantage of cash growth within permanent policies can help supplement your retirement and kept can help provide stability To some of the risks that is inherent with your investment portfolio So, you know the fact that you're not gonna the fact that you're not going to lose money out of in the cash And your life insurance policy and it's providing a death benefit can help Um, you know protect you against the fact that some of your investments might be out there You know in a in a situation where you could actually lose someone Okay, now I got this question asked Just thinking about this earlier you said um You want to teach people? You know Common folks About the way to wealthy invest and strategies that they use. What are some of the ways that uh, the wealthy Um invest the strategies that they use versus oh man common people Well, I'm gonna tell you and and again, I don't want to be on my soapbox about life insurance um, but so far as creating generational wealth life insurance has been around for quite some time and um You know, I work in Primarily disadvantaged communities and life insurance has not always been available to to everyone and so I want people who are You know, especially disadvantaged when it comes to the amount of time that has been allotted to them to create Well, I want to use these wealth strategies like using cash value Life insurance policies to accumulate wealth and provide stability within their retirement portfolio How to coordinate your assets How to reorganize your your finances in such a way that you maximize the outcome and that that is what The software that I have had designed and the software that I use with my clients and make available to them that's what it It helps to do I've taken the software that I used as a financial advisor And I've talked to the the developers developers of those that software and had them create something that allows me to Apply exactly what you're talking about wealth based strategies to middle-class folks Um, you know and each situation is is so different. Um, you know How does this software work break down this software? What is this work? I'll tell you there's two. There's two primary components to the software One is, you know, the debt The debt free life portion of the software which Takes a look at Someone's entire debt situation And I don't know if you've heard of the various ways of paying down debt Whether that being the snowball or the avalanche method where you pay the highest interest rate or the biggest balance or what have you So this software looks at those ways of paying down debt And allows you to toggle between the two to determine which one is best for your situation. So it does that for one two it also Helps us to Structure cash value life insurance policies in such a way that you can use the Cash that accumulates within those policies to pay down debt more rapidly Okay, we're doing something that somewhat unique in the industry. I won't say unique in the industry, but has been reserved for Wealthy folks, I would say in the past in that, you know, as you build Cash value within these life insurance policies, you can take loans against those amounts as well And you don't have to qualify for those loans And they're very flexible loans and you can you know, what they call bank on yourself Or there's a concept that's known as infinite banking And so whatever you want to call it There is definitely a way a means by which that you can free yourself from financial burdens By accumulating life Accumulating cash value within life insurance policies and while doing that also Let me show I toggle this your software essentially Take someone's debt and you know Use a functionality to show hey, which you put in all your debt and tell you which which debt to pay off first to make you debt free Did I get that right? And that's correct. And but what it also does is It takes a look at What you're already doing because sometimes when people have mortgages or they have credit card debt or what have you They might be over, you know, they might pay more than the minimum. Hopefully they're paying more And so we take a look at all of that Where they might be paying more in their mortgage where they might be paying more? You know on this bill or that bill student loans and what have you And we do an analysis Let me say well, how do we restructure the dollars that are already available? in such a way That we do the two things that I was talking about which is pay down the debt and accumulate cash So it's a and in my the way that I like to Coin the system is to debt to wealth program You kind of want to flip things around in such a way because we're such a consumer driven society that the majority of us have a negative net worth You know, everybody looks at their house as an asset but and it is There are ways that Again using our software that you can free yourself from even your mortgage Most of our clients are seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt taken away in You know seven years or so simply by and it's simply by reorganizing their finances because most people that own a home Have the means by which to free themselves of debt simply by reorganizing their finances And and we help them to do that Okay, so essentially It's more like a financial planning tool Taking the financial picture and telling you the best approach Yeah, get into from point a to point b Exactly and people I they tell us their goals. They say hey, you know, this is where I want to be I want to have a million dollars. I want to have two million dollars by 65 And what we're able to do is press your test our plan within the second part of our um Planning software. There's a second component to it that allows us to run what's known as a Monte Carlo scenario And a Monte Carlo scenario runs an almost infinite number of possibilities of you know, your financial plan It it pressure tests it and runs a number of different random Outcomes and it will tell you the likelihood of success of your plan So if you say I want to have five million dollars by you know 65 and it looks at your plan and it says Well, if you follow this plan You will have a 95 chance The way that we programmed it is that we want to illustrate to people a 95 chance of achieving 100 of their goals And so we're able to use logic based planning to help them do that and that includes, you know, some estate planning analysis, it includes life insurance and it also includes Investment portion of things. So yeah, it's it's an excellent platform And i'm looking forward to uh to rolling it out here in its final form I'm actually in 2024 here. So we're looking for testers. So if you're watching the show We're definitely looking for testers of the final level of the of the platform Okay, now when you're looking at this um Is it be when this when this is rolled out would it just be rolled out to financial advisors financial planners? To republic a website. How would this go? No, this is going to go out to the general public.  So, you know, we're paid by i'm paid by the insurance carriers i'm not paid by my clients and so When i sell life insurance when they pay me a commission and they pay my agents commissions We're gonna we're taking those amounts and putting them back into the communities that we serve that we serve And that's part of our commitment as a public benefit court Now is a public benefit court So that's what that is since you have one Yeah, you know people, you know, what is the public benefit court? Man, we are we want a profit. We're not a nonprofit. You know, we are cooperative cooperatively owned and we Are we want to make money? It's just a matter of what we're gonna do with that money We're kind of do-gooders. I guess you would say that and so, you know, we want to focus on reinvesting in the community and Helping people and educating them on how to get out of this, you know, financial debt trap That we are in a lot of ways born into if you're a middle-class person in a lot of ways you are born into debt You may be unaware of it, but You know, it's very difficult for most folks to get out out of that trap and so I've advocated for Getting rid of predatory payday loans and being an advocate for that and an agent against that and so You know Rolling out this platform is kind of doing the exact opposite of being a payday lender I want to help people get out of the debt trap and help them to get into A better financial situation and be financially free Okay, now a public benefit corp Um, why not just be a regular let's say llc or s corp c corp Well, I wanted to be public. Is there any benefits to get a public benefit corp? Um, you know for us it's more More of a statement of our mission than anything else. Um, you know as a as a public benefit corp You know, we operate as a as a conglomerate of sorts in that It's not just me in d squared financial group. Yes, I have a life insurance agency But I also work with estate planning attorneys real estate agents And other folks who are like minded We just have a holistic approach to financial planning and helping our clients and so The d squared financial group itself is is a group of specialized very diverse financial professionals and so Um, you know, that's kind of who we are as a public benefit court Okay Now If people want to follow you Get more from you hear more from you. What do you want to leave the audience out there? Um, let's catch this live that I catch the playback. Um, what do you want to say to the audience out there today? And also, what do you want to? um How can people find and get more and get more contact with you? Yeah, yeah, so just search up d squared financial group And um, you know, I've tried to make myself very reachable.  Um, or just look me up. Uh, demetrius raiden johnson I think there's another demetrius johnson out there, but he's a mma fighter and I he looks better than I do but I don't do a lot of fighting Okay Okay, so that's how people can is anything else that you want to uh, leave it Yeah, I you know, I just want people to you know I do a lot of advocacy in the black community And so I talk to a lot of african-american folks and I talk a lot about financial freedom And in a capitalist society The only way to truly be free is to be financially free And so I want people when they think about life insurance I want people to get excited about life insurance And when people declare that their life matters I want them to put pen to paper when they say that and ensure the thing that they say that matters And so, you know, I don't want um folks in the black community to Um discount their lives by under ensuring themselves I want to help them and help us and those people That you know, again, we're previously maybe not able to buy life insurance take full advantage Okay Well to be sure definitely thank you for stopping by Um, definitely thank you for stopping by today Um, definitely was uh good to have you on and we definitely got a check back in with you again. Okay Oh, yeah, well, I'm definitely available. I love to further the conversation. It's been great talking to you And uh, you have a good one All right, ladies and gentlemen into the next video podcast cartoon or whatever else crazy you see me do around the globe This is the prince of investing. My name is prince dakes. Peace. Be safe. I'm out and thank you


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. Hi, everyone. Basil Chapman on this Thursday, February the 24th. We're looking at the market now. It's down 765 at 32,366. The S&P has to run the numbers, there's a ton to talk about. Got questions, statements, all sorts of things. S&P now is also down sharply. It's not as sharp as it was, but it's still down 78 points at 4147. Made a low today of 4114. Excuse me. So this is very important. We've gone to leg B in the weekly chart, and I am going to take a moment in a little while to talk about this particular candle. And just to answer questions, we'll do all of that as I go through this chart. Here we go. QQQ, 123. QQQ is the weakest of the lot. It's been in a kind of a sharp down phase in the last two months, but really it started that back at 368.48. I think it was, so it was February, January, December, November, at the November high. And we've got all these H patterns in place. And we are looking at the weekly chart still very weak. The daily chart says that there's some residual strength, how it handles trying to get back to the 334, just 10 points higher area to retest that left side over the 24th isn't going to be important. We're looking at the IWM, the Russell 2000. This is the one we're going to follow very closely because this is the one I think for me at least it's going to tell us a lot about any form of rotation into this first quarter of 2022. How fund managers are perceiving the small caps? Are these small caps that are still looking as if they have upside potential? Are we really looking at a general consensus, a market consensus that almost everything's going to go down? Do we have singular moves and sectors, et cetera? I'll talk about that. And we'll talk about it for the next few days because we won't know for sure for a little while. We're looking at the SMH as a semiconductor index which is down 7 at 250.80. That same pattern, the dreaded H pattern, this is F slash B and this will be G slash C right here, G slash C in the daily chart with the arch formation. I'm going to talk about this arch formation in a moment. A number of people have mentioned it. Both subscribers have listened to TFNN. I'll talk about it in a moment. I don't take too much time yet. At this point, I want to get through all the numbers. This is key. The XLK, which is the S&P Select X Spider Fund, peak D in the monthly chart, peak D in the daily from 177.04 to the 28th of December, the all-time high. And now it's trading at 144 at 30 points. It's about 28 or something like that percent. The decline, bare market phase, but we're looking at monthly charts. When we close on Monday at four o'clock, we're going to be able to assess going from Monday into about Wednesday, the real start of the month of March. A lot's going on here. I need to talk about that. I want to finish these up as quickly as possible. I want to show you something even more important, and that is gold. Now, the question came in. Actually, a lot of questions were sent my way about crude oil and gold. So I'd said if gold is able to get into the 148, 152-ish area, that I would consider a breakout in the daily and the weekly chart, and that would help the monthly. And what I did is I drew in the Chapmanee methodology from the low that was made, the left side low of that was in 2021, March wasn't yet March's low of. Now, remember the numbers I'm giving you, this is a continuous contract. Those numbers will change because it gets smoothed out, but the pattern, nothing else, but the numbers get smoothed out. So I'm going to call the number that I've got right here, 1687.3 in March of 2021. It ran up. In some of the charts, I like to keep the fib numbers when I can. This is retracement, et cetera. And look what happened. This is acting really well within the fib numbers, and it goes to a slightly lower low after it bounced to the, what was that one point? Can't see it from here, but it bounces to the 19, just over 1900. It comes all the way back to just under 1700. And then starts to move up. There goes gray peak A, gray peak B. I should still call it a gray C, but once you get to C, I have to call it with the nine-period moving average still so strong. It hasn't crossed negative at all since the nine-period moving average crossed the 14-period moving back in June of 2019. It was around about the 1400 level. That green nine-period moving average has it once closed under. That's the reason why I said gold is now in play because it's changing from the daily to the now more expansive, larger timeframes. So this is now a very big move and it's stopped at this chapter. I made it blue, usually I make it green, but you wouldn't see it right here in the right side chart. The monthly gold continues contract. The monthly chart stopped right at just above, actually. Now it's below. It's halfway inside wedge target resistance line. A number of people have asked me about my CD. One person said, you know, I can get a CD player for like 25 or 30 bucks. So whatever you, if we can get your CDs, even though I don't have it on my laptop, I can always have them separate. So yeah, I'll be thinking about what I can do. See if I can make some more CDs of those. My chapter wave, that was my CD book back in 2005, I think it was, called Introducing Chapter Wave Methodology. And this is leg D in the monthly chart of the weekly chart. And let me show you something here. How resistance levels. You can use flip. You can use all the sorts of things you want, but it's so easy to use the previous price point. Look, the previous point, price point in the weekly chart was in the eighth, the week of the eighth of January, 2021, it pops up to 1980. And what was the high today in this? I made a left side, right side price time chart to the midpoint of the fourth of June of 2021. And I had it to this month, that this is the month, sorry, this week, this is the week that it should try to tackle that high that was made right there on the eighth of January, week of the eighth of January, 1980. So these things are all put together in the potpourri of chapter wave methodologies that we have. So this is leg D, but you remember, I'm very uncomfortable with leg Ds that become peak D underneath the previous high. It means you still need a lot of consolidation. So in that context, I'm saying gold is in play. It's in play as a fear factor. A lot of what we're going to see over the next week is going to be informative for the entire month of March, I believe, because of the Russian Ukraine situation. I'm going to talk about that just briefly in a moment, just stepping it aside there. Anyone in the last couple of weeks has been talking about it. Certainly in the administration has not, I don't remember ever hearing the circling of your Ukraine, Ukraine in this particular manner. So all I can say is that I'd like to look at the charts and say the charts are telling me this and telling me that. And the pullback that we've got in gold and the Kudor holding oil tells me that this leg D in the gold contract dating is kind of an emotional response. The gold is in play as something to change the upside of pullback. And I'll think about that. That seems to be the Kudor chart. Because the Kudor is the one that makes that $100. It's very important. I said about Kudor be back. Are you looking for a way to consistently add winning trades to your portfolio? Tom O'Brien is here to help.

Since 22, that's 10 o'clock last night, we've been in this trading range from 41 about 41.64 kind of where we are right now down to this low of 41.01. And here we are 60-something, 70 points above that low starting in the 10-minute chart, a leg D with a MACD, good strong stochastic and 93. And a couple of questions came in early on. Should I be buying the two, three times short instruments? And I said, no, no, a lot of it's been done. Just if you want. And what I did for subscribers is we bought just a one-to-one short position, a small short position on one of the indices because it's an insurance policy. And I'll give you a rather wide stop. I just need to know that today was not a crash day. I didn't think it would be a crash day. I knew it could be a serious decline. The day is young. Anything can happen. There could still be a waterfall cascade to the downside. But at the same time, so let me get out of this. Let me do a couple of things because it's all part of really important. I just need to finish. So Kevin Wright said, what about crowd? That wasn't easy buying this situation. Then nothing is any dope. It's like when I was playing tennis the other day with this friend who's really quick. He's my age. We both run like crazy, like teenagers when we're on the court. But at the same time, he missed three. I finally, after two years of my rotator cuff, I've just been very easy with it in services for a long time. So over the last three weeks, I've been increasing and I finally got most of my first serve, really far serve back in. Doesn't always go in, doesn't always go in, but the speed is there. Jim missed the return and he said, oh, easy, easy, easy. And I said to him, nothing's easy unless you get it right. And then you can turn around and say, oh, that was easy, even if it was difficult. So there isn't an easy trade at all. And one of the things I wanted to show is that, so CrowdStrike, I've got Palo Alto Networks here, really big move up 9% today at 44 at 522.17. Lookout went right to the 200-period moving average. And lookout bounced. Now I have these on my list as potentials for subscribers. I don't think it's going to be easy because, yeah, cyber, I've been talking about cyber. Why isn't cyber screaming to the upside? Look at CrowdStrike. You just, you've got to pick the right ones. CrowdStrike goes from the 300 area down to the 150s. It hit this arch formation that dreaded H-Pattern, successful so far. 150.02 was the low on the 24th of January. 150.350 was the low today. And it's up 7% up 12 at 173.87. Easy trade. Anytime you could, oh, the cyber stocks, easy trade. We tried it a couple of times, not always easy because it can go and then it suddenly turns around. And does the H-Pattern fails? So I'm just saying to you, be real careful at this particular point about the short side. Remember, what if the president of Ukraine who was a comedian once upon a time has no sense of he's been in it because he's been in Ukraine, but he's never necessarily been a leader over years and years and years and decades with the experiences needed certainly to deal with someone like Putin. What if all of a sudden he says, I don't want my people to die. I think maybe we just need to secede or just say yes to Russia. I'm not saying you do that. I'm just saying we've got so many unknowns. Not only that, the pipelines that we import from Russia. What are the things they're going to do? You think they're going to keep the exports, they need the money, but he's prepared in many ways. So I had always said, what's the left hand when Putin's talking, but you know it's the right hand. What's the right hand?  And that's the thing here. So I'm saying nothing's easy under these conditions. And I want to take it, I want to spend just a moment now to talk about this dreaded age. Yes, cyber is in play, but it's only in play in the short term. I don't have signals yet if I go to hack, which is the ETF. Look at this. It went to a lower low. It's down from the 68th level, just four months ago. And it's down. And I've got this. There's no other way I can count it. This is a peak C in the monthly chart. Got it down today at the low of 50. So, you know, 62 to 50, you say, I have a big deal, 12 points, 20%. 20%? That's a lot. So all I'm saying is nothing is easy at this particular point. I say to subscribers for weeks and weeks, let's raise cash, raise cash. We've got the cash. We've got certain positions that are working in. I mean, you think anything's easy. Where would you say the dollar is with the goal screaming up like this? The dollar is at 97.35. Basil's dollar. We've been along the dollar since 2018 at 90.07 via the UUP. So this is now a leg C to the upside, but it's really a gray leg C because if we go above the high that was made in the dollar index that was made right there with a doji candle high of 97.44, today we went to 97.37. Another 5 cents higher. And I might have to think that this is most probably a continuation into leg D. Going to a leg E and here again, because the monthly chart, a weekly chart. There's the target that we have. The left side, right side, price time match. It went exactly there to 97.80 back on four months ago. They actually missed it by a fraction. Yep, 97.44. And today's retesting that high. So these are patterns that we like to look at. I can talk about patterns. I'm going to stop for a moment because I got some emails and there's another one, Jim, question for today. With indices, which indices has potential for the biggest downdraft from here looking to add shorts and want to focus efforts, Jim? So, Jim, I'm going to get to all of that. Let me just do a couple of things because if we're looking at patterns, the patterns that we want to look at, the most important on the way down, and when I did my last web and I said, the H pattern is the one thing we're going to be looking at, the Chapman wave generated H. And once again, I'll try to figure out something with my CD. It's 400 something pages. It's got all these different chapters. But really, there's very little to this day in the CD that has changed. But I'll mention that periodically what's changed. But mostly over the period of time, I've used that nine-period exponential moving average. I've used some other things that have been added to it. But the pattern that I'm looking at here, I've got the downdraft. This is the Y formation where you retest. You have a move up and you make a cup formation. You retest the top. How does it break the top or does it break the top? Does it hold? And the same thing. And this is the positive Y formation. And this is a dreaded H, the red one. And what happens when you break the left side load? And that's what we're going to be looking at. So let me move this away. And then I will read a couple of emails that are on the back. I was a Chapman. Like, so probably it's not down. Back down.

In the end, the question came up about Bitcoin, and I said, I think Bitcoin is going to become more of a trading, inter-day trading vehicle. I haven't got any buy signal yet to say that it's going to break to the upside at this particular point. And then I did a quick 10 minutes of the Bitcoin futures. And look, the rectangle formation could last a lot longer than your patience, and it's been stuck between about $36,000 and the low today of $34,300. And you had your chapter low right there as the technical start to improve. Peak A, peak B, peak C1, peak C2. Remember, that's an addition, something I've discussed on my CD a long time ago, but I really have made a big deal of it. We used to have someone from... Where was he from? Some ski place used to do currencies all the time, just blanking out right now. I thought of him the other day, haven't heard from him for a little while. And then I said, we used the euro-dollar as a test for the peak C1, C2, and there were just tons of them. Peter, that's it, Peter. And look, there it goes again. So now the new peak A, peak B, peak C, peak D goes to an E just barely above the rectangle formation, and now it's falling back. And it's only gone to an E in all this time. And it says, this is not great action. And so, yes, I think as a trading vehicle. All right, let's just get to the story that I want to do. Right now, questions came in. I've got a lot of questions. I don't want to lose my focus. Here we go. So I move over to the Dow. The other dreaded age. In fact, yes, Bitcoin. Let's just be as current as possible. The low that was made in Bitcoin futures on the 24th was 32, 865. It goes to a peak D. Remember in Chapman Wave methodology, a buy signal should go to a peak D, four higher peaks, and then other things can happen. Stalled right at the 200 period moving. Another addition that I didn't have on the CD. Arch is over in the dreaded age pattern. Why is it called the dreaded age? Because if it takes out to the f side low, it can go a lot lower. And what does it do today? So it's 34,300. So far, this is successful. The MACDs only now turn across the negatives. The castings are 24%. Turning down could go to teens or single digits. On Balance Forum says it's really oversold. Could have a balance at any point. But the nine period just recently, two days ago, three days across negative. And that says there's a lot of resistance in the 40,113 area. So dreaded age, right? So I got an email saying, hi, Basil. Oh, I'm a big fan of your work. For me, out of all the chart patterns that occur, I think the dreaded age pattern has been the most important one to recognize. It helps me with risk management and also as a point of reference to watch if it goes to the lowercase M to test the left side low for potential supportive failure. I've never heard anyone else talk about that, but it has helped my trading investing so much. Keep up the awesome work. Sincerely, James. I appreciate that, James. And that kind of corresponds with a couple of other people talking about the age pattern. That's right. Peter from Park City. I miss him in the den. He hasn't been around for quite a while. He used to add a lot. So a couple of questions. So I was talking about my CD and I just wanted anything in the Tiger Den. Let's see. Wildfire says, I have Basil's CD. And it then goes, I'll say, go good way ahead of itself today. And Pat says, oh, Pat says, I didn't see that. Oh, I'll go back to it. Pat says something. I missed it. Oh, Pat said I have Basil's CD. And the Wildfire said, I have Basil's CD. Pat says I have Basil's CD. This excellent. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. I just wanted to see what the other questions were that were relating to what I'm talking about. Then in the den, there was just a text to me to say, those age patterns right now are absolutely irrelevant. Yes, they are. So a couple of other things is the 300-period moving average. Yeah. So Ted, let me just go back to this chart in the background here. I hope I don't forget it. I'm just going to go here. Is this what I had? Yeah. So here's your 300-period moving average. We're talking about the spy. Is this the one? No, this is not the one. Sorry. Get this back. Got so many charts. And I'll hide some of them because I don't want to confuse myself. So I sometimes, oh, there it is. Okay. So here's the 300-period exponential moving average. Remember the spy? It went to it exactly three days ago. We were talking about it. And I said it sat there. But a couple of things are important about this particular using what I had said was how you use an indicator or a tool is more important than the tool itself. So in this particular instance, what I'm saying to you is don't stop using the 300-period exponential moving average. Was this smooth or was it exponential? SMA. This is a simple moving average. Don't stop using it just because in fact you might be using it and getting an incredible amount of information. It's the brilliance of your getting the information out of whatever it is that produces the results. So be as diligent as you can. Don't throw something away. What I do is often people talk to me about who was it? Another Tom had mentioned he uses different moving averages rather than my 9 and 14. And it was great for him.  I just find that the comfort that I have with a slightly longer durations are better for me. I respect that. And Tom, I will be getting in touch with you. You know, it's been a busy time about those projections, etc. So OK, I want you to talk about that just to get that out of the way that that that I want you to talk about. Yes. Hack or crowd that you were speaking about Kevin crowd. So typed it on the chart. Yes, it's important. But even most importantly, I'm looking at this and I'm saying, OK, where are we? So this is where we are as far as I'm concerned. For subscribers, we've raised as much cash as possible. We've got some of our really big cap stocks that big price stocks that had fabulous gains. We took lots on the way off, still kept a core position, got out of that. There's one that's left, actually two, but one I'm not touching. That's the IAI, which we got some subscribers were able to get it right a day after the low in 2020 and the 24th of March. I don't really we'll trade around that. But this is telling me and Schwab and and the denny's not yet today, but Jeff was saying Schwab looks very vulnerable. I said not yet. But then what it did is this incredible double top 95.62 on the 14th of January pulls back sharply to the 84s bounces back to 96.24. So what we're talking about is within half a dollar, it gets to the previous high on the 9th of February. And then it plunged and I said, remember the cup formation, the reason why we didn't go back into Schwab at all is that there could be a one to one to the downside if it significantly takes out that cup formation. And that's exactly what we do. Where did it stop today on the 200 period moving average is trading down to 86 and 79.69. But I am calling this a leg F no alternate count in the weekly chart. I am so far calling it a leg D in the monthly chart. I have to put this together. Now's the time that I want you to do that. Look, let me show you something. So we've raised cash. We've got certain positions. We're still along the dollar. We long, we're long gold stock. We're long. Oh, I didn't do this. I have to do it before I forget because I was asked about it. The DBA. Remember, we've had this for a very long time. This is the DBA. Whenever I got it through by Tom, I said, Tom, I think those, those commodities, like these soy corn, they seem to be pretty working their way higher.

So we're looking at the DBA agricultural fund. And within it, we've got we've screened into leg D a gap up. I think this is wait a minute. This is right at 934.75 and it's stuck limit up, I believe. Leg D in the daily, leg D in the weekly and leg D in the monthly, we've continuous contract. It could be just like gold. It could be that all of a sudden you find out that it is just an emotional move to the upside and that maybe it's not quite so bad and it could pull back, but in the meantime it has broken out. The 90 MA is way above the 14 and that says 896 to 864 is really important support over the next week. But look, soybeans soybeans leg E in the pullback intraday it's now up 10 in the quarter at 1681 in the quarter. It hit 1559 in a quarter in leg E, leg D. I had this as a price time match here in the weekly chart and this is a week early a week earlier going above that high that was made way back in May or June of 2021 and so that says that and yet technicals are still very strong but the weekly says that the on balance volume is a tad overboard as is the daily so there could be a bit of a pullback but I have soybeans continuous contract monthly is only in leg B and I said that everything's pointing to the soybeans going above that left side high. So that's going to be important. It's a first notice for March grains metals and CBOT interest rates of Monday, February 28. Oh, I don't need that. So just close it out. Okay. Next thing we're looking at is corn or corn as I say here in the Boston area. Look, leg F in the daily chart could be an alternative count, but I don't know if it's limited up it is a 30 up 31 and a quarter and seven notes not it's trading 712 and a quarter. This is important and that's talking to inflation. That's why I'm saying what we're seeing now is different to many other times you remember for the history of the markets I like to always think it's just been my derigo the thing that I go to all the time is that when the equities especially the big cap equities that the fund managers have when they start to turn down sharply almost always the rule and I always make a joke about this. I say the volatility meaning the stock market weakness the volatility in equities usually sees funds migrate to the so called safety of bonds. What you can see is the so called safety of bonds. You've had such a big decline in so many of these huge big caps and yet the TLT is telling us from the pattern right now that interest rates still remain high. I don't know what's the Fed's going to do how can they pump money and keep rates low to say well I know this is going to be very complicated for them so we have a multifaceted area of concerns that we don't have one day results in other words you haven't got this big thing like gold is pulled back sharply but it's not like a one day thing it's here for a little while because it's gold is the fear factor icon that money geopolitically economically around the world people gravitate to for safety there they do go. Now what we're looking at also is high grade copper I never did high grade copper high grade copper is in the range it hasn't broken down hasn't broken up it's actually holding well CCJ is chemical I believe yeah chemical called uranium energy a little pop-up here I'm keeping my eye I tell you what I'm doing I'm keeping my eye on the uranium stocks and we're not doing anything I'm just keeping my eye on it I'm keeping my eye on the cyber security area I'm looking to see where will money flow what will money do and where will it go if the market continues to to maintain this lower range and what sectors are going to be viable and that's what I want for my subscribers I want to be able to get DNN what is DNN oh I remember DNN DNN is that isn't mining yeah that isn't mining yeah is that oh is that copper what is that yeah as far as I'm concerned just keep it on your list it's at the 200 period moving averages move at 1.31 not many people want to trade stocks at 1.31 dollar 31 but if it starts to move at 1.40 it could very quickly go to the 1.60, 1.70 last highs so keep an eye on this yeah if you want to be trading it just don't get too carried away nuclear and then uranium story okay question I had about about SAVA so this is very interesting yes SAVA you've got straight up there's the Eiffel Tower SAVA is SAVA sciences a biotech Alzheimer's mostly many other areas but that's where it goes to 38.79 up 55 cents this is the Eiffel Tower straight up straight down but you've got to look at the monthly the monthly says not yet but I think it's trying to build a base in the 35 it might even have to have one sneaky little slide into the 33 area and then let's look at it together again but I don't think it's ready for a bigger move to the upside and I don't think in these market conditions this is the kind of spectrum of area that fund managers want to gravitate to unless there's news the biotech type news so that's what I'm looking at here I think there's a lot of resistance in the 41 to 43 area but at any point if it closes under 34 no 33 50 you just got to be careful because that's the area that has been the containment for quite some time okay now here we go I wanted to show this question radio show I like to get to these a straight away okay I think all listeners would love to understand your thoughts on why the chat wave letters should remain in sequence as a transition from heavy-fed funding question QE and low rates migrates to higher rates and a cut off from QE how does chat wave count not get severely impacted by such a drastic change this will be critical understanding be a critical understanding as we continue to watch the S&P leg B in the monthly all right that's exactly what I wanted to talk about thank you for that question and the question is remember the chat wave isn't a wave form that only goes up yeah the notations on the upside are in sequence or they could have a rotational notation an alternative notation on the way down is the same thing but I don't use on the way down I don't use the letters as a major criteria for buying at lows as I do for selling at highs in the notation in the chat wave number one number two is it works on the way down if I get like a cyber biosciences made a peak F top at 146 16 pd in the day and I said gotta be careful that's how it works so I I'm not sure it's the implication that it doesn't work on the downside no it works both upside and downside that's number one number two is if you are talking about it in the larger context I'll talk to that exactly right now so this is the S&P monthly charge black background I I used to always use black background charts but I know so many want people wanted to print out some of the charts that I changed to white I missed my black background I look at the way the yellow nine-period moving average crossed underneath the sorry the yellow nine-period differential in the MACD crossed under the the the longer term 30 so 26 period moving average I want to do jazz and music so this is what I wanted to show you because this is tomorrow's technical Friday and I'm gonna spend a lot more time you see this candle right

because if you go halfway into the weekend a shorter time frame there's a really good chance and you hold there for a little while in a shorter time frame there's a real good chance you can not only retest the load but you could actually start on to a lower load well we did that and then the very four months from the top we had this huge Roman candle and then we did it again so that's really important to keep in mind and that that took us to that 6.79 March low of 2009 we actually bought the very day the 6th of March we bought the diamonds at the very low so yeah so that's really important now what we've got is we've got the Roman candle in a shorter time frame that would be the weekly chart last week we closed more than halfway below that the lower wick and said that you could test the low we've tested the low we've broken the low and that says now I don't care whether it's a peak B or peak A or peak Z the chart is saying just really be careful because you've had pretty major pullbacks when that's happened but the pullback in a monthly chart that becomes serious so I'm considering on a short term we are really oversold so we're so oversold in so many areas certainly in the we're ready for a pretty decent bounce and I'll be discussing that bounce when I come back tomorrow but in a very short term we'll come back to this chart before we wrap up for the day you're going to go to Larry President great program in the rest of the day stay tuned don't forget we start off at 9 with Tommy O'Brien we're already important show look as far as I'm concerned we're trying to rally back here said the worst the crash is not there and I said be careful because if we hold at the bottom we could go into a trading band for the for a while what I am looking at is if the fix if the Dow down 584 is able to come back it won't just come back and do that once if after most importantly if after 310 this off in eastern time going into the close the Dow is better than minus 370 to the upside that's a relief moment and it's really important and that should say the fix instead of skyrocketing each of the at this point


I want to get into we were kind of talking about like relationships and stuff earlier So I want to talk about as we've talked about it a lot Twin flames soul family soul mates karmic relationships Everything like that because that's really like the conversation that started our like spiritual friendship That's kind of what I was going through that day like where I kind of like split with my what I Would I really strongly felt was my twin flame? But I wasn't sure and then you did the muscle test on me, and you were like, yep I was getting that he was I like I said, I'm not 100% perfect at everything, but I was getting that he was yeah So and it's just so interesting like how many different types of like relationships are there. I also find that You know as humans, we obviously try like label and classify everything like that's just like what we do Yeah, which isn't always like necessary, but it's how we like Organize and move through life I think you were you said what started our spiritual journey. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay So we're talking about like twin flames soul mates all that kind of stuff I haven't really talked too much about that on my channel. Okay, um It's maybe the best place to start there is Yeah, like that question. Do you think do you believe that we choose our realities before we're born? It's got something I had that's funny. That's something I haven't looked into I've heard that, you know, I've read that our souls choose the person that they want to Be with I don't know. I Don't know. Yeah, it's almost like the other soul chooses the The battle that they want for their next life right journey. I don't know. I'm like I say it's possible Yeah, I am convicted that that is what happens. Yeah Like I'm convicted that that's the truth But like I said, like I do a lot of research on like near-death experiences People on hypnotic like states that are like in the afterlife or crossing over the afterlife or going into past lives Like I know you and I both did a reading like that before But basically like that's where your soul family that come from so essentially like we've established We're soul family but like in another, you know lifetime we could have been Son and daughter or daughter and dad Or we could have been like best friends or whatever and basically like like our souls Like figure out which lessons we want to learn our next lifetime And so the people on your soul family essentially are like, okay, well, I'll play this part I'll play that part and that way we can all get to The different me, you know, I mean that hey, I mean you're making sense Especially with all this stuff, you know, we've learned and you know going through in our lives so far. So yeah, I Don't know but it's interesting. Yeah, well when we were talking earlier before we started filming about you know reincarnation You know, I was always brought up Catholic and I never even thought that was like a thing. Yeah Let the Catholic Church, I've told the story many times on my channel came back as like I call myself recovering Catholic Like I'm a Christian a non-denominational Christian like I kind of like a spiritual Christian if you will Yeah, but as I've done all this research, I'm like I definitely like I 110% believe in reincarnation Okay, which like, you know It's the devil, but you know, it's kind of interesting in good going office for a second You know when you think about the Bible and stuff you'll hear that they did Which is surely controversial some of this just some of the sacrifices and the Rituals that they don't say wait a minute You sprinkled an altar with lamb's blood if we did that today, you'd call us some type of sickness or yeah So that's what I'm saying like you know What's really? What and again, I think it's I think it comes back to control and manipulation Because here's the other thing too. There was tons of slavery in the Bible. So Like there is a lot of stuff in there where I think The issue is is people fail to use their critical thinking skills. Oh, yeah, you know, yeah I think it's funny because I think in schools like they tell us we are critical thinking But it's actually the opposite of that. They're having you memorize things and learning things for test papers, whatever They're not actually encouraging you to think outside the box. So when people like us are having conversations like this We're gonna get called crazy. I'm sure Always thought differently, but you know, let me tell you something Not bragging, but I'm doing better than most of the people I know You know, I think it's crazy you start to meet people that are doing as well as you and it's like, uh, you think differently too That yeah, you know Yeah, and I don't know about you but like for me, there's very few people in my life that think this way Um, and so it can be a little frustrating. It can be fairly like, uh, like isolating. Yeah, like very alone sometimes Um Because yeah with the whole like reincarnation thing like what I've researched and read Is that like earth is a type of school? So there's different like nuggets levels to existence. Yeah Every time she drinks water so one time I was like it was so frustrating and she's drinking water Like she's crazy with it, right? So I went up to her while she was drinking with my water bottle And I started doing it too. I was like, oh Don't you do it? I'm like, yeah, this is what you sound like every freaking time you drink water You crazy girl. Are you a fan of the marvel movies? You know I'll try to help bring her into the fold Um, that's dc batman superman wonder when I saw dc Marvel is a flat you try to Thanos Phantoms Thanos He's the big purple muscly guy that Probably in some previous He's the one that wears the the golden Yeah, like Mario, but like a person You know But there's a scene where he's talking to an iron man And he says stark. He's like, you know me. He's like, yeah, you're not the only one cursed with knowledge And that's how it can feel you can feel kind of isolated.  It's not like I think I'm a genius and I know everything But it's like wow, I know this aspect of life. It's kind of different now It's like why when I for sure go to my through my awakening. I was like Why isn't everyone talking about this all the time? This is so empowering. Why like why Is this I talked about like I was like I don't I don't I do not understand Although I will say I think that like as a generation to getting younger Like it's becoming more widespread now and I think like eventually. Yeah. Yeah. Um In the uh, cd show i'm gonna give her they uh, he talked about how Think and grow rich talked about that. Basically. It's he says it's not work hard and grow rich. It's called think And grow rich. It's about your thoughts Right never thought about that, right? Exactly and he said that when Napoleon Hill wanted to write that Because Andrew Carnegie commissioned him to he said that Henry Ford went nuts. He did not want that info out Really? So the whole thing goes that like a lot of the rich and powerful they know how to manifest That's why they've been powerful so long. However You can too But if they keep the knowledge from you, you're just kind of like oh, what was me? I'll just work my nine to five right the factory for 80 years and I'll die and then that's it But if you know that you can change your vibration Mm-hmm. They don't want you to know that you can start to bring in the things that they have. Yeah Keeping in the family. That's why they married each other so much. Yeah, you know, so Yeah, well, and then you think about like I guess kind of slides right into Recent events in the media. You want to talk about that a little bit?  Um, actually, it's funny because like when I first started going through my awakening That was the first thing I cut out. Um, which is funny because I have a journalism degree So like that was something that I was always very attached to was, you know, knowing the news and well Knowing what they're feeding you, right? And I think it comes back to a lot of like, um The elite and power and not being told the whole truth to keep us down Um to keep us kind of stupid Yeah a lot I mean look a lot of I think just some good elite And it's funny you talked about that and he said there's the parasitical elite which leech off of us And then just uh, I forgot what he called the other ones, but they're the ones that want to help people They want everyone to understand how powerful they are, you know, they want kind of like a utopia where everyone can live happily Because there isn't abundance and there is enough for everyone Yeah, so yeah, like you know, I watched a few different news shows and it's like, you know Yeah, you know, there's a lot of dirty stuff going on. Yeah, and you have to watch even what you say because Certain powerful ones will snatch it right out from you, you know Yeah, that's well, that's even the scarier part is you have to be careful about what you say Like oh, we have freedom of speech, but yeah, yeah Well, then like I don't know if I could talk about this well, we can always edit it out Okay, right the whole thing with youtube did you hear about that? Yeah I usually stay away from that because now it's just I'm like, well, you know what it was so I've read it Um, I'll post the link in the below. I don't want to get into it Um, I read it and immediately I had that like panic, right? And then I stopped myself This is part of like the knowing Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, and I read about all that And then why you know the CEO stepped down all that And then like I started getting freaked out and then immediately you got to catch yourself in the moment When you're going down this like negative rabbit hole, right? And you get better with it, you know like before I would have probably let myself spiral for an hour Um, I caught myself in like 30 seconds and I was like, no, you know what this isn't going to affect me Right.  Yeah Yeah, exactly. You need it to work for you But it's just uh, it's tough to discern like what's true and what's not and at the end of the day Honestly, like the way I see it with like the news and stuff it's like Are we ever gonna actually know? You know what I mean? Oh, yeah Like and then and then there comes in like everything with like, you know conspiracy theorists, um, which Some people classify me as one some people don't Um, I think there's a lot of like truth in a lot of them I think there's a lot of truth in a lot of them I think some of them are really blown out of proportion. Mm-hmm. Some are a little far-fetched Yeah, some of them like I connect those dots. I see exactly what you're talking about Yeah, I was big and it's funny at all. I have been around the same time Awakening my awakening and everything and I started getting to conspiracy theories and some stuff I've seen come true Some stuff I haven't seen come true from all these conspiracy theory videos and articles I used to read and watch so You know, um, there were people that were being banned And had their channels take away from them for saying certain things on youtube that are now Being shown to be true. Yeah. So there's certain like youtubers out there that I follow. Um, I don't know if you know who Ralph smart is Ralph smart And I am like always surprised that he is still On here Yeah, you have to phrase things a certain way. Yeah, and you know, what's interesting to About the the term conspiracy theorist and where it came from Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I had the you know, what's funny.  But yes, he uh, yes, he definitely has good energy. He knows what he's doing. Yes Um, but then but well actually I had to stop watching his videos for a long time and uh, even like sometimes I don't know if you have tiktok or not but I was going to tiktok.   I'm gonna ban it anyway. It's from china It's from china So i'm gonna ban it anyway and uh, yeah, so I mean if they if I've heard that tiktok I mean it it could go it it searches too much of your affirmation Interesting it asks for access to all your computers that you have. Oh, I didn't even know that and You're uh, what you copy and paste So all you clipboarder wants to know everything you've clicked. Yeah, so I'm like good. I'm glad you're bad. Yeah I don't post on it too often But I scroll on it and I find that like when I'm down the conspiracy like rabbit hole My actually life feels more negative.  I've had enough and that's what happened with his videos for a while I was down that rabbit hole for a while Uh, they talk about a lot of the bad things that we're going to have to do Yeah, yeah, which is I think it's important Be to put that information out there But also like if you get too wrapped up in that stuff like it's also It's like overindulging and it can be just as negative as watching like the news Yeah, yeah, I man listen I I was down that rabbit hole especially like I remember there was a whole thing where Like do you want to plug for it? I have to take the whole battery out. Oh, it doesn't come with a plug like a no Oh This is why like you're like the one if you see my channel the one I always record on it's always plugged in It has a battery, but it's always plugged in. I don't know this one like has that I also don't usually ever film for this long, but okay If this shuts down, we're just gonna transfer it over here and you're gonna send it to me Okay, so Tyrone came prepared Like I um, there was something oh Where they were saying that the elite were trying to make Another star they're trying to make a snutter sun out of Jupiter Okay There was a movie I can't was it is it 2001 space Odyssey of well where these There's this obelisk or whatever in the beginning of the movie. That's just this black black rectangle And it's on earth When humans were apparently apes Okay, but it somehow influenced us to evolve into a higher being okay At the end of the movie is confusing really in certain aspects but at the end of the movie there is a Whole uh, it's a ton of them all circling on Jupiter And they ignite Jupiter because you know, it's a gas giant And it turns into another star and then we have two suns in the sky And at the time the guy was explaining all this stuff and how it connected And if you look at mastercard, it's actually two suns Oh, yeah, the red and the yellow and on the news years ago when I was younger There was a black dot that appeared on Jupiter and in the movie The movie came before the news event in real life. There was a black dot People could see the black dot on Jupiter before ignited into a star What do you think about um All of these performances the granny performance I'm not into that stuff What they're doing And yeah, ever since I got into conspiracy theories years ago. They're always saying there's some type of Illuminati ritual some kind of satanic ritual. I don't know what they're doing, but it's something. Yeah, you know, I'm like There's something going on there. It's not quite right But I think it goes to show like what you're saying about, you know, them putting it ahead of big events happening and I think that's why people are freaking out because it's like, well, that's the case Look at the simpsons. Yeah The simpsons stuff is a few different things. Yeah, like that That is crazy. I'm worried about donald trump because in there he's dead as president Episode where he's dead. Well, he's president though it was way before he ever ran So it was like president trump is dead like what? Yeah Jackson So like concerns me. I'm like The simpsons have been right about a bunch of stuff Right Is this only going to try to take him out if he put yeah, that would mean that he might become right, right, right, right We'll refer back to this video if that happens The security's great. They're the best in the world Oh, when we wrap up I wanted to show you this Okay, I've never got this in my channel before either. This is my pendulum I gotta see this. All right. So we're talking about the muscle testing earlier in another video I don't know how I'm gonna split this up and this is kind of a similar thing um It's the same thing where you have to test your yes and your no answer you have to connect with The the crystal Now this is one of those things again like can this be seen as witchcraft. I'm not sure Oh, I'm sure it's plain. Yeah, I would say that I don't really use my pendulum, but I used to so don't come for me Actually, it's here.  I forgot I have one you do. Yeah, but I never asked the questions She said she asked the questions. Oh my god You can put it over your chakras and if it spins properly, you know that your chakras are clear Yeah, use it like that. Okay. You put over your heart. It was you connect with that first. No, all right. So you want to connect with it first, so Okay, pendulum are we connected? Well, so that is that yes, so that's my yes Thank you pendulum. Can you give me a no answer, please? Okay, so for me like yes would be right circles and no would be left Oh, I see so clockwise and kind of clockwise. Yeah, and so like for an example like Uh pendulum. I am sitting next to tyrone Does that one know? That's a yes pendulum I am sitting next to president trump You could be Oh, I'll get that. That's crazy. Isn't that wild? This is gonna be pretty good opinion people saying you're major to do that. Yeah, right.  Um And so when I first brought this out like This is when I first started going through my awakening.  That doesn't work. You're making it up a lot. The other one's super like Consciously open. Okay, right? It wouldn't move or work at all with the person that was like this is bullshit But with the person that was like open to it. It was So you put the connect so you didn't connect so it doesn't look that interesting Yeah, you should have seen it when I tried to show my parents Oh man My mom passed away in 2005, but trust me. She knew now like she probably what are you getting into? She'd be all over she was deeply religious. She's all over me. So yeah, it's it's definitely interesting I mean sometimes like my brother and I will coop up like when I go home and visit them and like we'll just I'm all like, what are you guys talking about?  It was too long to explain it mom energy balls Is there anything else you wanted to shout about spiritually?   Yeah. Yeah I just did my first live where I brought someone else on Um, I saw some a week ago. Yeah. So it definitely works and we could we can certainly do that. That'd be fun Maybe we can make it like a monthly or bi-monthly thing. Cool.   Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I appreciate you coming on and drive it out to my home And I'll put all of Tyrone's links in the description below Is there anywhere else that you want them to check you out with us? You can find me on Twitter at the Tyrone Magnus Instagram Tyrone Magnus Facebook Tyrone Magnus I like try to keep it all the same All right guys, so I hope you enjoyed this uh different version of doing things and I love you so much See you next week and don't forget be limitlessly yourself


Good Thursday morning everyone. We are following a host of retail earnings. I'm here with Jim Kramer on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Jim, let's first get your take on Best Buy. Best Buy was amazing and really a lot of it is this Nintendo Switch. I did a video yesterday which suggested you buy Best Buy. Why did I do that? Because Target had incredible numbers for Nintendo Switch. It is the game that uses an NVIDIA chip. Everybody, it's the craze right now. They also talked about PCs doing well. Remember HP, HPQ had a remarkable number two supply with printers and with PCs. This is Best Buy's time. What did you make of Dollar Tree? Dollar Tree was just okay. I wanted better and a lot of that is because Dollar Tree is doing well but the family dollar is still down. Of the discounters last night, the one to look at was Burlington this morning. Burlington had really fabulous numbers and they boosted the forecast. Remember, you're getting the recipe for what works. Burlington is in a strip mall that has discount with low inventory. They'll be able to take in a lot of the inventory from a Macy's or JC Penney and mark it up. I do expect TJX to do the same thing. This is a golden moment to buy TJX, an Action Alerts Plus.com club name. Okay, what about PVH? I know you had Manny on last night. I think the PVH is going to have a multi-year move. Why do I feel that way? Because now I see they've been able to manage the inventories in the U.S. They've got a handle on it. But they are now showing double digit gains in Europe and starting to really come on strong in China. This is Tommy Hilfiger and this is Calvin Klein. They have consolidated all these brands. They've got them very lean. The inventories are terrific. That company can go up for some time. It's been way behind the S&P. Manny Trico doing a fabulous job. All right, moving to the home, how about William Sonoma? William Sonoma is very good. What I like about William Sonoma is they're switching to really trying to be a digital model using the bricks and mortar showcase. Kind of funny because we always heard that the showcase was bricks and mortar and then you went to Amazon. But William Sonoma doing quite good. Laura Albert's getting her hands around things. Wayfair is the one that has been disruptive in that business. A lot of shorts in Wayfair. But I do think that Wayfair, even though they're not making money, has been able to keep chugging. And when you can keep chugging in the digital space, good things tend to happen. All right, one retailer that media loves to talk about Sears. Yeah, you know, Sears came out and Sears themselves were down double digits. But the media does, like Brian Sozzi does some fabulous work on it for us. It reminds me that it's not a big company anymore. And Carol Tomei in an interview with The Street said, look, she's the CFO of Home Depot. Sears remains a share donor. They do have about 18 billion in sales. They're closing stores, so it is still rather remarkable that they have comps that are so negative for the ones that are supposed to be good. But it's a closely held company by Eddie Lampert and by Bruce, by Fairholm. There's no real stock left to sell other than flippers who buy ahead of a quarter and then flip it. It's not, it's a cold stock at this point, owned by a hedge fund manager. Okay, all right, let's talk about some tech names. Netflix had its price target raised at MKM. That was an important piece, and I'll go to, I mean, you know, what people are talking about, Piper, I'm sorry, people are talking about international being really fabulous. And I think that's true. I think that people are underestimating what Reed Hastings is able to do. I mean, he picks the best actor in Brazil for Narcos. He's doing international using, he's done something that most people don't realize is that he's been able to do programming with titles. And Americans tend not to like titles, but it's working. Don't forget, you have House of Cards coming. A lot of people felt that Amazon was going to knock him out. That has crudely not happened. It remains a real bargain. Amazon's a bargain. Netflix is a bargain. Costco's a bargain. People love a bargain. All right, and then on Mad Ash on Squawk on the Street, you talked about Logitech. You have the CEO on tonight. Yeah, and this was what I want people to do. Ben Sato, thank you so much. In Golden Age of Esports, Terrapins are seen green. This is today's Washington Post. Esports is sweeping the nation by storm, actually sweeping the world by storm. And you need Logitech keyboards to compete because they have the fastest keyboard. A lot of schools are giving scholarships to the people who play Esports to the kids. And Esports is selling out Madison Square Garden, the Boston Garden, very, very fast. People go to watch League of Legends. Players play League of Legends. I think ultimately the winner will be Take Two because Take Two owns the Breits to the NBA. And there will be basketball teams that will come from Esports. Take Two, even at 79, is going hard. All right, and then we'll end as we always do with earnings to watch another retailer, Big Lots. Big Lots is a discount. The discounters have done better than the Big Caps. But I would call in mind, again, I'd rather buy Burlington up for, I'd rather buy TGX right here. TGX is setting up for a really, really good quarter. And it's, you know, we've got a lot of good action alert streams, but TGX is the one we're buying right here. All right, Jim Cramer, thank you so much. As always, and for more information on the stocks Jim just mentioned, please head back to TheStreet.com.
