So, yeah, I'm Flavio Percogon, the current PDL for the open-stack messaging program, also co-name is Zakar, or Zakar, I don't even have to pronounce it honestly. And, well, as it has already been said, we're just going to go through the killer plans that we've kind of discussed back in Paris at the summit. So, if we get to the next slide, before we even get started with the killer plans, I'd like to take a little bit, a few minutes of time, and find out what Zakar actually is. And before you even ask what Zakar means or what the name comes from, the name is actually the name of how misopotamians, like in the misopotamian mythology, there were some messengers for the god of sin, and those messengers provided those messages through nightmares and dreams and to people. And, obviously, the relation with the name is about the nightmares and not exactly about the messaging part. So, that's where the name comes from. It is Zakar, we had to change the name. The project was previously called Marconi, and there were some issues related to the name, and we were basically forced to change it, and this is what we came up with. So, now that I've said this, let's get to something more technical in the next slide. So, 101 about Zakar. Zakar is like a really protocol, like Zakar is the messaging service for OpenStyle. It's not the only one. There are other solutions for different areas. The key thing about Zakar is that it is a data API. It has a data API. That's what it provides. It doesn't provide any provisioning API. It provides messaging features and solutions for different messaging patterns, and obviously it wants to be easily scalable and easy to maintain and provide all the Python libraries that are needed to interact with the service. If you are familiar with other vendors, Zakar would be something similar to either Q, service, or even AWS, SQS, and SNS put together. So, when it's put together, it's because when you're reading messaging in Zakar's description, which by the way, what I put in that slide is actually a mission statement that we have in the governance report. When you're reading messaging there, we are actually referring to not just the ability to send and receive messages, but also the ability to have notifications on different kinds of notifications. And that's actually something that we will be working on during Kilo, and I think it's the next point in the next slide. So, yeah, we can move to the next slide now. So, notifications. There are a few things that – no, first one. There are a few things that we actually want to work on in Kilo, and we tried a lot to keep the list small, because in previous summits we came up with many ideas, many things we wanted to work on, and obviously time is limited, and we kind of went through all the feedback we have gotten so far from the committee and different discussions on the mental list, and we decided to take really like very few things and work on those. And there are two main features that we want to work on. So, there are brand new features that we want to have in the service during Kilo. One of those is notifications. Like I said, Zakhar aims to provide notifications as well. So, we're going to go ahead and implement these as part of the new version of the API. We will add notifications so you will be able to subscribe to the service in many different ways, and we're not talking about notifications in a way that you would probably get them from private inquiries so that you would just connect to the server and get notifications. Messages basically pushed back to the client library, but we also like to have different kinds of notifications like pushing messages through a mobile, APNs, emails, even SMSs or text messages. But that's part of the future, and the things that the two publishers that we want to focus on for the Kilo release are actually web hooks. So, you would subscribe some URL to the service and when a message, and you will actually subscribe to a queue, so a specific queue or topic if you will. And so when messages get there, you will get them in that URL that you have subscribed. Or you can also get those messages back to the client if you have a connection to the server or persistent connection, which actually takes us to the next thing we want to implement, and I think it is in the next slide. So, yeah, persistent transport. This is something that we currently don't have. So, Zucker is pretty much – I hate this word, but I'm not going to use it anyway because it's actually pluggable. So, you can create different plugins for different parts of the service. And we have this pluggability in the storage side and the transport side of the service. For the transport side, though, we don't have any plugins besides the one we support right now, which is HTTP. And that basically means that if you want to talk to the service, you have to use an HTTP client and you have to send the HTTP messages request to the server and it will process it for you. And something we want to have definitely is the ability to connect to the server and keep that connection alive so that you don't have to see – you can basically work around the burden related to HTTP and the overhead of the protocol, which it might be load, but it still exists. So, we want to have the ability to connect to the server and have that persistent connection there. And something that we also want to have is better support for browsers. And therefore, we have chosen WebSocket as the protocol we will use for the first implementation of a persistent transport. And WebSocket is – I mean, it has been around for quite a few years already. I'm not even going to say like a long time, but it has been around for quite a few years. There are being different many iterations over the specification of the protocol and where it is being supported by most of the mainstream browsers nowadays. So, we wanted to have something that is CRES browsers and it can be used by many people from the browser. And the – I mean, in addition to that, WebSocket can also be used outside the browser if you have a WebSocket library for your preferred language. You could use that library and talk to Zuckar using a WebSocket transport. And that's something we will actually do in Zuckar Client. We will have support for WebSocket from there as well. And it will – hopefully, I mean, type of meeting, it will do something fancy like falling back to different protocols based on what's available in the server. So, in implementing this persistent transport will also require us to have a kind of different implementation of our current protocol or current API. So, the API in terms of actions won't change at all, but it will change in terms of form because it will be kind of – for the persistent transport, for the WebSocket transport, it will kind of convert it into something that is serializable and that can be sent through a WebSocket. So, we will kind of translate what we have in HTTP transporting to some kind of dictionary or something like that that we will be able to send to the server through WebSocket. So, that's probably the gif of this work here. And I'm very keen on what we're doing here. So, looking forward to have it ready. And so, we can now move to the next slide. Can we move to the next slide? The other thing we want to work on is storage capabilities. Storage capabilities is not – so, we have all these – plugability, and like I said, we have these plugability in the storage side as well. And we are able to – I mean, you can write your own storage driver and use it from Docker. But this storage driver currently has to support every single feature supported by the current build team storage drivers that we have. And we want to make this layer more flexible so that other people can implement their own storage driver that don't have to necessarily live in our code base. And those drivers can – these people need, depending on what they want to do. So, in order to do that, we need to convert all the features that we have currently in our storage driver into something called capabilities that we will expose through these storage capabilities. And we will expose those in the API through flavors. And these capabilities basically are a way for the driver to say the things supported in it. And, for example, a driver may opt out from supporting claims or it may opt out from supporting FIFO, depending on what technology it is sitting on. And it may also opt out from supporting durability and in favor of a higher throughput, for example. And this is actually the base feature that we need to have in order to implement the next one that we have online. And if you want, you can move to the next slide now. And, yeah, so the next one that we have online is actually optional FIFO. And, I mean, the previous one was basically the basis for implementing this. Because – so something that we have discussed – at the very beginning when we started working on Dakar, like I said, at the time it was called Marconi, when we started working on it, we got some feedback from the community. And something that the community said to us is that FIFO – not having FIFO in services like SQS was actually very painful. So we heard their feedback and we wanted to have full support and like 100% guarantee of FIFO in the service. And we did that and we have – the current released version has full support for FIFO. But it turns out that the FIFO has – there are two issues basically related to FIFO. The first one – I mean, it's not bad itself, but there are some things related. The first one is that there's some overhead related to FIFO, depending on the storage driver.  And some technologies may have it built in, others don't, so you may have to do some work around and hack it somehow in the driver. And along that line, there are some technologies that won't support it at all, which is the second issue that we have. And since there are very valuable and good technologies that may be a good fit for a Dakar storage driver, we don't want them to have to pay the price of something that we have chosen as a need for the service. So after hearing the latest feedback that we got from our community, from the OpenSight community, we decided to make FIFO optional. And it will depend on the driver itself and how it is configured. You can basically opt in or opt out from having FIFO in a third deployment basis, basically. So this is something that's definitely coming in Kilo as well. We can now move to the next slide. We're basically going almost at the end of my presentation. I don't think I'll use the whole 15 minutes or probably already use them. Can we move to the next slide? Okay, perfect. So keys to topics. This is something that we haven't decided yet. So time permitting, we would like to... If we have enough time, we would like to rename what we have right now called keys. We would like to move from having keys to something called topics and stop having a first citizen resource that we need to create in the database. This is just a peer optimization for DACA internally so that we can save space in the storage. So storage technologies that need to have the key resource created, they can still create it. But if there's no need to do that, like the MongoDB one that we have and the Redis one, you can just skip and don't create at all. And we would like to do this, like switch from keys to topics which would be like a more lightweight resource to have in the service. But this hasn't been decided yet, so it may or may not happen before the next release. We can now move to the next one. So I think that's pretty much it. If we go back to April 2015, we will have a release that has notifications, persistent transport storage capabilities, and optional FIFO. And well, the dots down there is because prioritizing things is actually harder than time traveling. So things might be moved to the next release or some other things may come into this one here. So at the high level, this is what we would like to do. No promises made. We will hopefully have all these and more, but we will see. And we will move to the next slide. This is the 30th yet. I mean, to be continued and yet to be told, we will see what happens in the next release. But if you have any other questions or you would like to join in help and with anything and you are interested in the project, please, we are all at openstack-zacar-free-node. And I'm Flavio Parcocas already set. My email is flavioatredhat.com and I'm Flapa at 87 on IRC and Twitter if you have any more questions. Thank you very much.


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering RSA Conference 2020 San Francisco, brought to you by SiliconANGLE Media. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at RSA 2020, Moscone and beautiful San Francisco. Day four, I think Thursday already. This is a crazy conference. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I don't think we'll be here for tomorrow. It's been a pretty full slate as it is. We're excited to have our next guest. She is Rose Ross, the founder and chief trailblazer for Tech Trailblazers. Rose, great to meet you. It's great to be here too. Absolutely. So what are the Tech Trailblazers? So the Tech Trailblazers are an awards-led platform which recognizes the creme de la creme of the enterprise tech startup landscape. So we cover the categories from AI through to storage but obviously security is a big part of that and we find that security and cloud are usually our most popular awards to be entered into. Okay, and I assume you're really recognizing the individuals more than the companies? Or is it more of the companies? We do both. We do both. We do the tech categories. So they are compared like for like. Apples with apples, pairs with pairs, security startups with security startups. And then we also acknowledge and recognize some of the key players in those startups. So we have a female trailblazers and a male trailblazer each year. And how long have you been doing this? This is our eighth edition. The eighth edition. So for a while, 2012 was our first outing. Okay, and you said you just gave out this year's awards on Monday. That's right, we announced it, yeah, on day one of our essay. All right, so give us some of the highlights. Who are some of the special people that you called out this year? Some of the special people, well I actually sat down with one of the special people just now, our interviewed CEO of Shift Left who is our security trailblazer this year. Manish Gupta, and yeah, we spent some time chatting about his journey and his challenges and his successes and finding out more about the technology itself. And so what are the criteria to win? So we kind of look at a number of elements. We have an independent body of judges who are from the analyst community, from the blogger community, from industry itself. So we have CSOs, CIOs, and just people who understand the technology really at both the technical level and on what is needed by the marketplace. So we look at a number of things. One is obviously innovation. If you're looking at the startup world, you want to look at people who are bringing new and exciting things that are needed by companies to either secure them or store their data or analyze their data. But we also look at how they're doing in the market. So we will be looking at what their go-to-market strategy is, how they're engaging with the end user community, that type of stuff. Okay, and at what stage in their growth are they generally kind of coming into your radar? So we sort of do the cutoff for a startup as being having not celebrated their sixth birthday yet. Sixth birthday, okay. Right, so and have not gone beyond series C funding. Okay. So we wanted to keep it on the newer end of the startup spectrum. We also have a special award for those that have not received any VC funding whatsoever. So they're either growing organically or privately funded. That could be seed capsules, you know, crowd funding, whatever that might be. And they have to be two years or younger.   So those are probably just really a function of life because I would imagine the vast majority of the companies that you recognize eventually get VC funding if you're playing in this crazy technology space. It certainly helps to get to where you want to accelerate, put a bit more fuel in the tank. And so you also announced in your press release the incredible amount of money that your award winners have raised over time. Would you tell us a little bit more about that? Well, yeah, with RSA this week, we thought it would be a great time to reflect back on what our security trailblazers have done over these eight editions. Obviously it's a little bit early for expecting additional fundraising from shift left because they literally only got the award on Monday. But hopefully, if you look at the history of it all, if we look at the people who've received the accolade over the last eight editions, nearly all of them have been within their first two years. Most of them have done at least one round of funding. But have usually gone on to do another significant round of funding within 12 months of having one. We'd love to take all the credit for that, I think you really need to put that on the team. Right, right. And acquisitions have also been quite prevalent. So we looked at the numbers just before RSA and it was 722 million of the disclosed raised just in the security space. Unfortunately, or very fortunately for one of our winners, Zero Fox, they just peeped in with raising 74 million last Friday, which we didn't include. So if we put the undisclosed in, we're definitely over 800 million now. So well done to the Zero Fox guys. Right, so how did you get involved in this? It was an idea that I had, my other life is a tech PR person and we were working on a campaign for a show, somewhat like RSA in the UK. And we thought it would be a great idea to run a startup competition to highlight some new entrance to the market. Unfortunately, they didn't think it was a fit for what they wanted to do, but it was such a compelling idea. I've worked with startups all my life and one of the challenges was always for them, particularly in the early stages, to get recognition and to get coverage. So we thought we can do something about this. And I thought, well, no one's going to listen to a PR person. No one's interested in what I think. You know, I'm not an expert on who's great in this space. So I spoke to Joe Bagley, who's the CTO of the MIR for VMware, who's somebody I've worked with a lot over the years. And I said, look, Joe, if I ran something like this, would you come on board as a judge? And he said, absolutely. I think it's a brilliant idea. And luckily, many other amazing judges has followed in his footsteps. So it's thanks to them. So- Well, how many judges are there? We have around 40. I mean, we have a number of, what a number of categories. So we wanted specialists in those areas. Some cover multiple, like cloud and security or cloud and storage. But obviously, when you're looking at AI and blockchain and all these other categories, you need people who really understand that space. And then what's the process? Kind of how big is the top of the funnel? When do you start it? And then how do you kind of whittle it down to the, because how many wins a 12, 12 categories, so 12 winners per year about? Yeah. So we started off as obviously people enter usually through their PR team or their marketing team. We'll pull together the information that we request, which is quite a lengthy process. It's a big commitment of time. But not huge, but we do want to get to a certain amount of detail to make a decision and give the judges something to work with. Then for that period, we then put it out to the judges to create the short list. So they will come back. They will score on a number of elements, which are things like innovation and the maturity of the technology, the go-to market, attractiveness and their own personal view of how exciting and innovative and how trailblazing it actually is. Right, right. Then we put it out to a public vote, but also the judges then take the short list and take another look at everybody. And it gets a public vote too? Yes, it does. And so does do the judges ever meet with the nominees or is it all done based on the application kind of, the application packet that you put together and any other independent information they find on their own? Well, we certainly would encourage, I know the judges do like to reach out to people and I know that obviously there are relationships because of the nature of the types of judges. Obviously we've got people in industry within the vendor community, analysts and bloggers. So they will have people that they know. So I always encourage people, if they say, you know, what would you do? I said, well, if I was you, I would also reach out to the judges in your area and just make them aware of who you are. And if they have other questions that they should set up a briefing or something like that. Right. So it's a really interesting concept to get the pub into the startup world because it's really, as you know, being in PR, you know, it's really hard to get elevated above the noise, if you will. And you know, we're sitting here surrounded by, I don't even know how many thousands of vendors are in this hall a lot. Well, the early stage expo has 51 just as a starter. 51 in the early stage expo. Which hall is that in? It's up on the second floor. On the second floor. Then there's little like corners of cubbies of not even 10 by 10s, but you know, kind of the classic kiosk. So when you're talking to small companies, irregardless of whether they go for the award, what do you tell them as a PR pro? What do you tell them as someone who's, you know, kind of seeing the challenges of trying to raise your profile as a small company? Do you stick to your knitting? Do you, you know, try to get a high profile when, you know, what are some of the tips and tricks that help little companies rise above the den, if you will, in this crazy space? Third part of validation is always very important. Talk to the influencers in your space. Talk to the analysts in your space. The bloggers in your space. And get that feedback and integrate it into your plan of how you create your message. Cause I think that's one of the hard things. A lot of startups, particularly in the technology space, particularly in enterprise tech, they're really in the weeds with what's amazing about their products and why they put it together. But you really have to put that into very simple terms. I mean, if you look at someone like RSA, we have got a lot of buzzwords kicking around here. You do have to try and put that into the needs and requirements of the end user community. That's always got to be your, your lens on things really.  And even if you're tech relative leaks, inexpensive, maybe as a PLC or this or that, it still takes an investment from your potential customers to put it in and take that risk. And you know, that's a much bigger hurdle to overcome often than, than simply the pricing or the, the structure of the deal. So it's not an easy, not an easy path. It has to be a partnership. I mean, one of the things we were advocating a couple of years ago is that the bigger organizations really should have somebody who has a role of being a chief collaboration officer for those smaller companies to engage with them.  Oh, it'll kill the little company, right? Even the pre-sales, just having meetings and meetings and meetings and meetings and meetings and meetings to talk about the meetings that you're going to have to maybe eventually get to someone who can make a decision. Yeah, it's tough. Very cool. So any kind of significant changes in the program over time? Are you pretty much kind of the same place you were eight years ago? Or do you see, do you see this expanding into different categories? How do you see, you know, kind of the evolution of the trailblazers? Well, we like to review everything and we listen to our judges. We listen to people in the marketplace.  And there is some really good news coming through that the enterprise tech VC community, there's a lot more of an appetite. They're starting to see the value more and more and more of investing in that type of longer, longer term because you can actually scale beyond where you can do sometimes with the consumer technology. You know, the potential unicorns sometimes don't quite make it. Those horses aren't always that reliable in the race. Sometimes too much money is not a good thing. That is for sure. Laura, it's good for you. It's a great way, I think the kind of the award format is a great way to shine a little bit of extra light on some of these companies that are really struggling to get noticed. It's a really difficult process for a startup, especially in such a deep technology field, something that's so mission critical that people, it's just not that easy for people to give you a try, to give you a trial. It takes a lot of investment. So, good work. And before continuing to see the winners raise lots of money and have success. Right, absolutely. Thank you, Jeff. All right, Rose, well, thanks again. She's Rose, I'm Jeff. You're watching theCUBE. We're at RSA 2020. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.


the last high of that channel was $30 higher and it really starts to run into earnings.  So we're waiting. We're patiently waiting.  Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey, guys. Good evening, everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access Trader.com weekend update show. Hope everybody is doing well. It is actually Friday, right? It's after the close. It is Friday. It is $5.52. And usually, I would be nowhere near a computer right now. Just kind of be decompressing, but I'm recording the video today. It will be out at some point this weekend because tomorrow I am getting my second vaccine shot from the Pfizer shot at 8 o'clock, 8.45 in the morning. My wife got hers in the beginning of the week and she was really messed up for a couple of days. She had 101 fever, all messed up. So if everything plays out right, Saturday into Sunday, I'm going to be in bed recovering. So I kind of wanted to get this video out and kind of get everybody ready for the week. So let's talk about this. So I wrote this on Twitter. And I think it kind of plays out to the fact that kind of what the market did is kind of the tale of two markets. For the last couple of weeks, ever since we've reclaimed this whole major level on NASDAQ 100, it felt like, and again, for all you guys are very, very sensitive, close your ears, but it felt like it was a wild orgy in Caligula's paths, right? Going crazy. Everything's going nuts. Nvidia is breaking out. Amazon's going breaking out. Apple's breaking out. Tesla went absolutely out of its mind. And for the last couple of days, we've been in a really, really, really tight range. And it feels like grandma is creeping up on grandpa to see if it still works at the 56 years of marriage. And that's kind of what it is. It feels like a lot of us were pretty spoiled over the last couple of weeks, right? We had these huge, huge moves and very, very aggressively, right? Amazon went nuts. Nvidia went nuts. And Apple went nuts. And Tesla finally broke out. We'll talk about that in a second. Went nuts for like 12 hours, right? So everything went crazy. So we were spoiled, right? We got our fix. We were like the cracker that needed more, that needed more, that needed more. It's like the kid at Christmas that's completely spoiled and entitled. Mommy and daddy got the kid a bike. They got him the PlayStation 5. They kid him and got a brand new baseball bat. They got him a new basketball. And the kid sits there and goes, what's next? What else did I get? What else did I get? It's a spoiled kid.  We've been spoiled. The action for the last couple of weeks and for the last couple of days has been painfully slow, at least in Beta land, right? Again, my world is surrounded by mega, you know, mega cap technology names, you know, and I get it. I appreciate everybody's with the coin base and the door coin and the cap coin and all. Again, that's not for me, right? It's not, not hating on it, right? It's all power to you. Who's better than you? You want to buy the door coin, the cap coin, you know, everything in between, it's up to you. That's nothing to do with me. It's to each his own, the eyes and the beholden, right? All that stuff. But for the last couple of days, the Beta world has been pretty dead. And when I say dead, I mean really, really dead. So I got to give the Bulls a lot of credit.  And it took out the previous days low, and it closed below the five day moving average. We were tired. You could see it in the way the stocks were acting. They were very, very tired. And came Friday, excuse me, came Thursday. And the market could have easily rolled over. Every excuse in the book to roll over, we're tired, you know, the stocks have run up so, so fast. And what happened to the Bulls credit, they didn't take out the previous days low and actually went higher. The problem with the Bulls going higher, at least from the my world, nothing went higher with it. And if you look at, and this was, was very, very frustrating. When you look at the Dow on Thursday, it was up 300. When you look at the NASDAQ, it was like, right, really flat. And when you look at every single chart, and it kind of, you know, it really does show you, Amazon's been kind of flat here for the last three days. It looks like it's ready to go. Well, and we'll talk about that in a second. It looks like it's ready to go for next week, get some really, really good aggressive call buying. But you could see it's done nothing for the last three, four days, but kind of blow off this level of little short term top level came in pretty aggressive and the good news is kind of going sideways. But if you look at names like, for example, like an Apple that had a big, big move, especially on the 60 minute view, this is, this is the last three days, right? Doing absolutely nothing. This is obviously fake, right? This is absolutely nothing going sideways. So you look at Netflix, and Netflix kicks off earning season on Tuesday for beta names has gotten done absolutely nothing. Matter of fact, when sideways came in, when sideways came in, and now it's going sideways. When you look at Facebook, they're all going sideways. So you can kind of get the point. So if you are focused on beta for the last several days, you just sat there and went like this, like literally went like this, but you know what? That's a good thing, right? And I've kind of reiterated that point over and over again in the webinar. We've been doing this, I've been hosting this live webinar for the last 11 years. But what's great about trading in your, your time horizon, okay? Number one, you have to get rid of the whole social media environment. This stock is popping, that stock is popping. This is going, that is going, and you look and you turn around and say, well, wait a minute, how could every single stock be going? How could everybody be being something and everything in my stocks not moving? What am I doing wrong? So you start getting this phomo, you started getting this itch, and you start to sweat, and you're starting to chase performance on names that you would never realize in a million years that they were even suitable to you and you're getting nowhere, right? You're absolutely getting nowhere. And let's be honest, we're all looking at the same market. You're either trading technology, you're looking at technology or you're talking about technology. And I promise you, right? I promise you, if I'm looking at Netflix, Johnny from Utah and, you know, Jimmy from Maryland looking at Netflix exactly the same way. So the problem with the whole social media experiences, you're so tuned in with somebody else is doing, you're losing sight of what you should be doing. And a lot of times that we start looking at stock market from the point of the small universe that we've created. Again, my small universe is beta, your, you know, your universe could be crypto, or, or munis, or E-minis or futures or whatever it is, what you should be doing is concentrating on your part of the world, trying to get your piece of the pie, instead of looking at everything else. Because when you start looking at everything else, the natural emotion of chasing other people's performance starts to kick in. And instead of waiting for that really good premium setup, for example, like on Amazon, on a daily channel, or looking at a Tesla, right? For example, on a 60 minute view, and you can see the channel very, very clearly, you start trading stuff like this, like a Cove, or what was that stock today? CLOV, right? You start chasing this and then you start doing doggy coins and this, that, the other thing. And you're probably not going to get anywhere because this is not your comfort zone, right? This is not something that you know the momentum, you know the rational measured moves, you know the average shoe range. Instead, you're guessing and you're hoping to God that instead of your stocks being out of favor, you're trying to compete with somebody else's channel and somebody else's lane and somebody else's comfortability. And that's a really good recipe for really not getting rid of your FOMO, okay?  And when you look at the big picture, you're omitting at what you're good at and all of a sudden trying to replicate what somebody else is doing. And I think that's a very, very big no-no. And matter of fact, I know a lot of traders who in the last few days started trading these weird stocks, right? Started trading somebody else's comfort zone, somebody else's lane and they got to absolutely nowhere.  Now, if you look at the ranges right now in the cues, you could see how tight they've been, right? It's a very, very tight channel, especially today.  There was one channel today that I missed when I went to lunch. There was an $11 candle in the middle of lunch on Tesla. But that was it. I mean, that was absolutely it for the whole day. But you know what? That's okay.  Everybody has it. Some more than others. Thank God, some of you guys are single. But the point is, you know, but the point is when it did turn into grandma and grandpa after 56 years of marriage, you have to be an adult, right? You have to be an adult. You have to say to yourself, look, I'm going to get value. There's a range here somewhere in the cues, components of the cues that something is going to get. We're either going to start taking down the bottom of the channel here or start confirming this linear regression line. But my time will come, right? I remember the orgy. I get it. Caligula was a great host, some great wine, some great, you know, pigs in the blanket, we get it, right? But our time will come. So you have to wait for your sweet spot. You have to wait for your designated area of comfort to kind of wake up with it again, because when it does wake up, all these dull coins and parity coins, every coin in the middle is going to be noise is going to be irrelevant.  You're going to be back with the warm sweater with that cozy pair of socks.  So kind of going into this week, we know the levels, right? I think we have to respect the levels. A lot of people believe that the next catalyst for beta, and again, it's resting, resting really, really great after this big breakout off the 50 day moving average. But I believe, and there's some truth to it, a lot of people believe that the next move in beta is going to be earnings, right? You have Netflix coming out with earnings on Tuesday. That's going to kick off earning season and for the least for beta. And then the following week, you have the mega Super Bowl, you have Apple and Facebook and Amazon and all that good stuff in Tesla. So you have a lot, a lot of data to digest. And maybe then we'll get a very clear point of what's going to happen next short term. Again, betting on the charts, you look like we're going to go higher. But again, we're not supposed to bet on the futures, right? We're not fortune tellers. We're going to let the market dictate to us exactly what's going to happen next. So is it possible, right?  I remember that orgy. But that's the whole point.  All you're doing is waiting for that next invitation, right? Your next clean path, your next channel to open up. And when it does open up, it's magnificent. And again, all you need to do is reference the technical analysis, right? This was it, right? This was the breakout here. Apple was the breakout here, right? Apple was the breakout here. Amazon was the breakout here. Tesla was the breakout was the breakout here. Now we're waiting for the next signal. And if it's all the same to you, let's get that slow pitch softball, right? Let's not look at the, you know, look at stuff that we're not comfortable with, we have no history with, no relationship with. Now there's some names that actually look pretty good, right? There are definitely names that look pretty good. Look at some of these drug names, right? Or at least these bio names. NVACs first close over the 50-day moving average, you know, looking at Nvidia and all that stuff when they took out the 50-day. This is strong. This is a very strong channel. Look at a Gilead, right? Look at a Gilead setup, right? Starting to come out of a range here. Look at eBay, right? Look at eBay, right? Big, big channel. You're talking about a distribution going all the way back to February, the fourth big channel. Again, this looks good. So we're going to at least start the week looking at other things, right? Start the week looking at maybe second or third tier groups, but at least let's have a good viable channel, a good daily reference point that at least we could trade off. And once these other names that we've been comfortable with, that we have a great history, once they start waking up, again, who's better than you, right? Like look at Tesla. You had big, big bets rolling in for Tesla going through this week. Look at this channel on Tesla, right? You notice it stopped once. It stopped today twice and exactly the same channel. If this thing takes out the channel here, it's going to wake up. You have Amazon, you know, behaved really, really well. You had some really good, big, aggressive coal buying coming in for next week, for the end of the month. Look, as you can see a really clean channel here. If this thing, it's going to wake up. It's going to go up 50 cents, right? The last high of that channel was $30 higher. It really starts to run into earnings.  So we're waiting. We're patiently waiting.  Wow, Mom, I love my new bike. What else you got? Mom, I love my Sony PlayStation 5. What else you got? What do you mean you only made cupcakes? I love cookies. Where are my cookies? Don't be a brat, right guys?  Take it all in stride. Always think of the long game. It's not about today, right? It's about storing information, gathering data, and acting when it spotlights your process. You'll be in a lot better place. You'll be a lot more relaxed. You're not going to be jumping the gun, being in relationship with other names you've never heard before, and getting very random results. Stick to what you know, right? Stick to your guns.  God bless everybody. Hopefully, I won't catch a 109 fever tomorrow. And hopefully, I'll see you guys in one piece on Monday. Guys, have a great, great weekend. I wish you all the best. God is love, and God's help. I'll see you all on Monday. Take care.


Jill Lynch, the MWR Fitness Director at Sigonella, leads the Certified Fitness Leader course. A CFL is the Certified Fitness Leader. They are recommended by command to be in charge of all of their command's fitness needs. And that goes all the way down to the physical readiness testing and the BCAs now. So that CFL of the command has to know everything there is to know about the exercise portion as well as all the NAV admins now. So it's a big collateral duty for a sailor. The job of a CFL involves much more than simply preparing the command for the PRT. They must work to motivate those around them to stay mission ready and ensure that their paperwork stays up to date. They're learning how to design fitness programs to take back to their commands. They're learning all about some of the nutrition. They're learning Navy operational fitness and fueling system. So they've really got a heck of a week that's fully loaded of information. We just finished up a class and they all did fantastic. I can see where they are true leaders and are going to go back and be able to make a difference with their command. From Naval Air Station, Sigonella, I'm Seaman Luke Askew.
