So, everyone, today's Monday, today's YouTube Live Day, so if you guys are just joining us for the first time every single Monday at 11 a.m.,  The reason why I do this is because Mondays used to be my worst performing days and I wanted a way to keep myself accountable, so I started making these videos where I traded until 10.30 a.m. and then at 11 a.m. market time, I would come on here and recap the trade as it was still fresh in my head, so one of the main things that people ask me is, is day trading a real career? Can you actually make money trading? Is this thing real? Is this thing legit? So, what I'm going to be doing today for you guys, I'm going to be showing you my broker statements for the year. I'm going to be showing you how I'm doing so far on the year and then I'm going to talk about today's trades and today's watch list, so let's get started with that. Okay, guys. Sorry, I'm just trying to set up the camera here real quick so that you guys can see everything very clearly, so just give me one second. Okay, so flipping the camera around. All right, guys, so this is my broker statement for the year so far. It's not a screenshot. As you can see, you can highlight everything, you can click on everything. So far on the year, this is being recorded on September 12th, 2022. I'm up $1.4 million in realized gains in a bear market, so the reason why this is so significant and this is so important is because most people have lost money in this bear market. Most people have gone broke in this bear market, but for me, this year on the worst possible year for day trading, I made about $1.4 million. It's not as much as I made last year. Last year I made a little bit over $3 million, but last year's market was crazy, but if in the worst market in the last 20 years, I can make $1.4 million, I mean, that's still pretty freaking good. Now, as you can see, this is not a screenshot. This is not a screenshot. This is all legit. I actually have to wire out of my account and reset it back to $50K, but I had some really nice wins lately, so I've just been kind of keeping it in there. So yeah, it's pretty much my broker statement for the year so far. Again, September 12th. And the reason why I want to show you this is twofold. Number one, to prove that this is real and this is possible. And number two is to show you how I'm able to get these profits and what my process is for these profits, right? So I want to first talk about the hot stock of the day and I want to bring up the watch list. I'm going to bring up the morning watch list right here. So watch list right here. Okay, so let's review the watch list. So IFBD 250, 270 and three lines to scale in short. So what I'm going to be doing guys is I'm going to pull up a chart right here for you so that you guys could follow along and see exactly, exactly what I was doing. So let me show you IFBD. So every single morning before the market opens, I am providing a watch list. So the reason why I'm providing a watch list is because in this industry, there are so many frauds and so many scammers. What they do is they buy up a stock and then they're on a delay. And by the time you get that stock alert, that mentor, that guru is selling into you. So be very careful if you see people making money online. I made this money without pumping, without alerting, without emails, without signals, without anything. This is me pre-planning every single day and showing you that plan before market open. This plan was made at 9.13 AM. So about 17 minutes before the market open. I even had an earlier one around 8.05 AM and I adjusted it. So IFBD plan was a short 250, 270 and three. It only hit 250 and kind of failed. RGLS plan was a short 210, 220, 230. We got exactly that and it failed. DMS, nothing really happened. VTYX, non-niche stock. So I am mostly a short seller. So if I'm avoiding a stock, it is usually a signal for it to keep going up. This stock went right up, right? INM, this was the hot stock of the day. I told everyone to avoid it. It went from 14 to 18. So I would have been dead if I shorted. And QH stock was 350 to 370, it hit 350 and failed. So this same watch list that I am using every single day is the same watch list that MIC members are using every single day to profit.  This is the same trades that I take, okay?  So imagine I made $1.4 million and today I made $100, right? And the reason why I want to show you the watch list is to show you that on a day like today, making $100 was actually the best possible trade I could have made because INM went crazy, VKTX went crazy. So in hindsight, if I deviated from the plan, if I traded the stocks that I said to avoid, I would have been dead, right? So a lot of people ask me, how do you make this money? How do you do this? And what is that process like? And the thing that I want to highlight is a lot of people are losing money, man. A lot of people are losing money and 1.4 million is life changing money to a lot of people. But thank God, it's another day, another year for me at the office. And the highlight of this is I kind of adapted the strategy at the start of the year. So what was working last year in 2021 and what was working the year before that in 2020 was not working this year. So instead of using the same size and the same strategy that I was using two years ago, I sized down this year. I sized down this year so that I could be confident, I could be calm, and I could not have any issues. So my biggest, biggest trades of the year was Bed Bath and Beyond made like a couple hundred thousand dollars in like a week span. And I even forget the other one. I think it was like TBLT or something. I don't really even remember because it's so long ago or it might have even been. What was that oil stock? INDO, I think I made, I think it was this year that I made 700,000 INDO. So an INDO 700, half of my year's P&L, half, was made on one day, right? So that's INDO. Those opportunities don't come around very often. We had 10 of those opportunities last year and now we have one of those opportunities. So the point I'm trying to make here, guys, is that anyone could really do this. Anyone could really make money trading. The people that can't make money trading and the people that are struggling are either being too greedy. They're creating artificial price targets in their head or they're not stopping out of stocks. How many times have you been in a stock where your max loss was supposed to be 200 bucks and all of a sudden it turned into $2,000 and then $5,000? And you're told yourself, oh my god, if I just stuck to my stop in the first place, I'd have so much more money. The reason why most traders fail is because of a lack of stops and because of a lack of following their own rules. So that might see, we kind of preach something called risk management. We were one of the first people to talk about risk management. One of my favorite quotes that I created is, size into the best and scalp the rest. So a lot of people, they're seeing these crazy stocks or seeing these crazy runners and they're like, how the hell are you supposed to trade it? The reality is a lot of these runners you should be avoiding because there's not really much of an edge. So I know what my best pattern is. I know my best strategy. My best pattern is the first red day. I've been talking about it for years and finally people are starting to listen. But I know what my best pattern of the year is. So I religiously wait for that pattern to come up and when that pattern comes up, I pull those in. If that pattern is not there, I do not use the same size that I use on that on a random stock. So for example, on Bed Bath and Beyond, I used 100,000 shares. On today, on what was in stock, on RGLE or RGLS, I used 2,000 shares, right? I used 99% less size because it was 99% less of a great setup. So a lot of problems that people have is they use the same size on the same stock, on the same day, right? And what ends up happening is in trading, you should be betting based on the opportunity, okay? So if you have a great opportunity in the market, you should be sizing up. That's the same analogy I've been given every single day, every single week, every single month for the past year, man. For the past year, I've been making the same exact video, saying the same exact things because I'm hoping that after one time that you listen, you finally understand is bet on stocks with size when the edge is in your favor. So find your best pattern. If you don't know what your best pattern is, then you have no reason to size up on it. I had a DM conversation with a member last week and he said, bro, I'm losing money. I don't know what's going on. Maybe trading isn't for me. I don't know what I should do. He's like, I sized up last week and it didn't really work out. I was like, why'd you size up?  Nah, I just decided to size up that day, man.   Maybe you should listen to what we're saying. If we're telling you to size up on the best setups only and you wake up on a random Monday morning, and you're like, today's the day I'm gonna size. It's not how it should be. Your size is determined by the stock in play. So if there is no good stock in play, you don't just wake up and say, I'm sizing up today. That's me, today's the day I'm doing it. It's not how it works, okay? So that's number one. So my P&L for this year is based on the opportunity. Last year there was 10 times more opportunity. So I was able to size in 10 times more. This year, there's 10 times less opportunity so I'm able to size in 10 times less. And what I remind myself, guys, if I could make a million and a half dollars in the bear market when everyone's losing money, imagine when the bull market comes back around. This market moves in cycles, man. We've been in a bull market for 10 years. We've been in a bear market for one year. Maybe we're gonna be in another bear market for another year. And then when that cycle changes, when the bull market comes back, that million and a half is gonna be five, six, seven, eight million, right? The process is the same. The strategy is the same. What changes is the bet size. So your bet size changes based on what market cycle you are in, okay? So that's number one. Does that all make sense to you guys before I move on? And again, this is a live video so try to take the comments for people. The next thing is, the next thing is I am in the process of recording more of my live trades. So my $145,000 day on Bed Bath and Beyond is recorded. I did about a 30 minute voiceover for that trade and I'm probably gonna make that available soon for lifetime members and maybe eventually free for everyone on YouTube. But going forward in this bear market, maybe once a week, maybe twice a week, I'm gonna start recording my screens and providing and sharing with you my trades live. No pumps, no alerts, no anything. Recorded trades. I'll do a voiceover over the trade. And maybe actually let me show you a sneak peek of it, right?  Sorry, gonna set up again. Where is my commentary? Okay, okay guys, so this is my live trade. I'm just gonna kind of skip it in the middle somewhere. Because there's so much showing up on it. So you guys will see the actual live trade from beginning to end, hopefully sometime soon. It takes literally, literally weeks to kind of do this voiceover stuff over it. Because I wanna make sure that I'm providing the most amount of details for you. So this is kind of what we do here, man. We provide real trading education for people that are serious about trading. Provide broker statements, we provide watch lists, we provide live trades, we provide pretty much everything. And live trades are very hard because in the moment you wanna nail the trade but my job as a mentor, my job as an educator is to make sure that you nail the trade. So I'm gonna try to do as many live trades as possible but I wanna make my priority to be able to help you guys. So yeah, I mean, I want to kind of keep this video short and sweet to show you what is possible in the market.   Sick amount of money. So yeah, I mean, if you guys have any questions about trading, you guys are curious about trading. If you guys are non-MIC members, go to myinvestingclub.com slash webinar. You get to watch a free mentorship course. This is for non-members. Shows you a little bit of a sneak peek into our strategy. Kind of helps you out. That folder all there is all my live trades. So I have this side of my computer all of live trades. So hopefully I grow that collection a little bit more but if you guys want, I could open it up to a brief two, three minute Q and A to answer your questions before I go back and help the members. Around these crazy stocks. Any questions, guys? If you guys are enjoying these videos, please leave a like on the video. Please subscribe to the video. If you guys want to see more live trades from me, comment down below saying live trade so that I know you guys want to see that. And now let's get into the Q and A. How should a new trader approach a slow market or a slow day? I kind of posted a video on this guys earlier to MIC members but the key on a slow day is to realize that being break even is also a win. Today wasn't stock, IHP wasn't, I can't see. INM, INM. Today INM was a crazy runner and today INM in the watch list was an avoid. So most people lost on INM because they ignored the watch list. So if you walk away, break even on a slow day, it's usually a win because what people do is they trade random stocks so that they can make some money on the day and that means that they're just gambling, okay? So to profit or to win on slow days is to stop gambling, stop trading random stocks and just walk away, okay? Just walk away. I made millions of dollars this year and I made 100 bucks. It's nothing, it's a rounding error. You know what I'm saying? So that's pretty much it guys. I'm gonna go back and help the members in the room. So hopefully you guys learned a lot today. Leave a comment on the video, subscribe to the channel, leave a like and hopefully more live trades come in soon, man.

No trust No trust red flag Well, if you're in a relationship, I remember a quote that said Inspect what you expect so if you're in a relationship, it's no You know, that's up to you if you want to check but you have to ask yourself Is that the kind of relationship you want to be in where you have to be playing blues clues? Which are partnered where you always got to be Sherlock Holmes.  So you got to give him that space and you give him enough rope help yourself You see what I mean and he'll show you Was talking to a musician that lost his sister in March was there through his Stop talking to him in April because he was texting someone else, but we were friends Okay, I'm not sure if that was a question How can we maintain everything while making low-wage? Very scared due to leaving out early mornings while dark Just needing increase to provide more would you say it's not time to receive?  What are your thoughts on older guys and younger women dating? friends 10 years Erica you might own though if you knew I got a whole video on that why older men date younger women don't I got that whole video on that so I Can't really do it justice here. Okay, should you reach out? No, you shouldn't reach out If he want you here reach out if he did wrong then you never go back and chase somebody that did you wrong? Not having a good relationship with your parents could cause problems with other relationships That is correct typically a lot of times it'll lead to co-dependency To where you co-dependent instead of interdependent And so you looking to feel that void other times it could create situations that are a Little toxic because you taking and you acting like they act How important are how important or unimportant are looks in relationships to each day on you know to each day on Yeah, I don't think to anybody. It's everything. I don't I don't think any human because I feel like every human knows We're imperfect dating a man with kids or not Or not a good idea with kids You got to look at everything that come with that situation and you got to ask yourself, okay if he has baby mama drama Can I deal with it? Loving this child his child as my own can I deal with it? Splitting time with him him being with his children and me not being allowed to be there. Can I deal with it? if you can't deal with those things then it's best to Wait on a man without children Boyfriend kept saying he failed me. We broke up after eight months He wants to grow and deal with his soul ties from an eight-year relationship We were together eight months said he's not right mentally. He cried thoughts Listen to him and let him go when a man tell you he's not ready for a relationship Don't try to convince him otherwise when a man tells you he don't believe in marriage Don't try to convince him otherwise a man knows who he is and what he wants Even if that means he's not ready to become who he needs to become or who he should be You can't try to convince a man otherwise and that's why so many women lose is because you ignore what he's saying you ignore what he's saying and you try to manipulate him or Make him fit what you want versus listening to what he said What is the safest and classiest way to tell someone to leave you alone or you're calling the police just like that? Right through a text message where they could read it over and over and over high if you contact me again calling the police. Thank you Just like that Is it such thing as being single for a long time that you get complacent being single and my selling myself short I'm not wanting a relationship at all That's not complacency, you know, that's a good place That's actually when you ready for a relationship when you completely happy being single Then that means that you've settled in You've healed you feel good and it's actually the space where you want to be before you get into a relationship you want to be comfortable with you and Enjoy your own company, but when you desperate or you kind of needy then That right there could set you up for failure So you got to be careful.   So whenever However, you judge you will be judged And so when you look at somebody that you're not attracted to it's typically Because of societal beauty constructs that have told you this is what's attractive this is what's attractive and this is not attractive and You're gonna be judged by that same measuring stick on average. So you got to understand a Lot of times it's not about getting somebody.  Or the person you look at this man or woman and it turn your stomach a little bit Then that's not something you want to proceed with So understand that do you have any advice on how to grow in having a conversation with men? The key is not to overthink it The thing that a lot of women do is they practice beforehand and they go in and they end up being somebody else and They're too extra or they're too forward or they're too demanding or they're too, you know Interrogating so the key is just to be natural just to be comfortable be you if you're introvert and you talk low and slow Then just talk low and slow if you're extrovert and you talk high and fast talk high and fast and just let the natural conversation flow without putting someone on the hot seat and Pretending it's an episode of first 48 and that's the thing is like a lot of times We go in and we have like these lists of questions like we interrogating the person Instead of just sitting down and having a conversation as if you're talking to the most interesting person in the world And so when you talk to the person like they're the most interesting person in the world That's when they start to open up and start to really express And and then you ask the next question next question next question a lot of time we go in Wanting to be heard so much that we don't let the other person talk And if you the more you let a person talk the more you're gonna learn about them and find out You know if this really somebody you want to deal with Tony I'm so tired of dating broke men. I'm tired of being more financially well off But I'm trying not to be shallow, but I get resentful generally They are good men advice well You have to evaluate your relationship with money and you have to evaluate why you equate brokenness to finances and instead of equating character to Wholeness and to wealth and prosperity So you have to confront your scarcity mindset and where you come from and See can you I heard somebody say maybe it was I can't remember if it was C. S. Lewis or Napoleon Hill that say They deal with people like digging for gold meaning discarding the dirt if you just paying attention to the dirt then you miss the goal and ironically it's not Gold digging but not in the sense of you with somebody for their money true gold digging is Getting through the dirt define the goal. So when you look at a broke man You you can't just look at a man for his finances. You ought to look at does he have a broke mindset? If he broke minded then he can always be broke pocketed But if he rich minded he eventually gonna be rich pocketed and you might just catch him right in that space to where he Getting ready to be there. And so that's what you have to realize too when you're looking at this is a situation Can you give advice on why men don't give closure and be be God bless you? a Man or woman whichever way it goes doesn't give closure So that they can walk in and out the door So it's kind of like when somebody leave you you got a picture like if somebody leave you are they gonna leave? you and Change the locks on your door for you No, and they leave and they leave out that door. It's on you to change your locks if they got a key It's on you to change the locks But if you leave it up to the person who leaving they want that door to be left open So that when they go out looking for a upgrade they upgrade turn out to be a downgrade now They could just come back in and so that's typically why people don't give closure because they want to be able to come in And out your life.  We're dating a guy with two kids cause problems in the long run now ain't miss Cleo, but You got to look at his situation, you know, and you got to sit down and talk to him That may take three to five dates to really find out his situation If his phone blowing up from the ex, you know The mother his children while y'all on that date or if all he talked about is the mother of his children Or one of his children how have it go if he got one or two baby mom Then that just let you know you now you able to peer in to see what's going on But if this you know the mother of the children neither here nor there and he get to see his kids or whatever And it's not causing him stress. He got that in order then You could be a blended family But if it's something that you can tell and the first three to five dates that this a little draining on him This little toxic now you've seen what you need to see that's in the God bless you I have a boyfriend of four months.  God bless you Why do guys look but don't approach nine out ten times? It's either you're not as tight or he take him It typically one or two reason Oh Mr. My ex broke up with me for no legitimate reason I called him recently and he wants to get back together But he makes it seem like I'm the reason everything is wrong in his life.  All right, y'all know God. Let's just graduated college with a B.A. nah Ain't graduated college. That's a battle It seems as if I am even more confused with what direction to take my career in when first starting school to take my career in when first starting school advice um We have Career coaches on my mentor dot life. I Feel like if you talk through it and you sit down you talk through it It may take one hour. It may take, you know, three or four sessions just talking through it but what you have to do is you got to identify the difference between your gifts and Your passions and then see what you can marry between the two because your gift is something you born with Now your passion that's something you fall in love with but sometimes you can fall in love with something that you naturally gifted at When you see you could so it's like if a gift is writing and a passion is writing when you marry the two that means author blogger ghostwriter so a lot of times we go to school and we thinking with our head Meaning what's gonna make money? What's gonna be cool? What's gonna be in and we're not looking within and doing the interview to see What we gifted at my issue God bless your not destiny God bless I am with him at least three days three days out of the week. He says because we're always together He doesn't have to call me Again, that's not your boyfriend That's not your boyfriend, I know you want that it's your boyfriend, but that's not your boyfriend, okay? If a man don't call you that ain't your boyfriend Y'all pen pals and then he gets to see you when he gets to see you But like the woman said on the movie rage scratch a lie find a thief He with you three days out of the week. That's on a good week. What about the week's is one day What about the week's is no day? What about the week's is two days? Now who ain't three days who he with other four days when he not calling you.   And it turned out to be a win-win to me what this is doing right here What to me what this sound like this sound like a man trying to? Law you to sleep Trying to get you relaxed to get you drop them guards and one day Why y'all cuddling something to slip right on slip right on round and then you're gonna be Mm-hmm, that's all that is spending quality time making love to your mind You're releasing that oxytocin that serotonin that dopamine you feeling good like you said feel amazing So when a man make love to your mind day after day after day after day How much easier is it gonna be for him to make love to your body? when he get ready to Grow out that thing what you finna say after all that cuddling and It and feeling amazing you anything to be like uh-uh put that up you finna be like, okay? All right is what I'm talking about Listen to me now.  You look what what the good boy say who can take fire in his bosom and not be burned Brittany God bless you now my guy cheated six months in He wants me to believe he is ready now to be committed So I asked him to start make it work with me and we completed chapter one He's 35. I'm 30 the girl acted a fool on us at a party and I stayed classy That's a person now don't just stop at chapter one now y'all need gonna read every chapter as fast as you can read a Chapter and discuss it read the next chapter get through the whole entire book don't skip a page Because if you're gonna give him another chance you got to make sure he do some real work He got to do real work. Don't let him just come back just because he got you know loose booted and horny And then he wanted to go touch him some and then knowing that it just was a look You know flying Philly Wayne and then now he want to come back to you because you more cool con collected and stable and steady But then in another six months now he want to love Flying Philly Wayne and then he gone back out there and come back again because this is the thing and Man knows when he get in a relationship that he's supposed to be faithful So if the most self-control he has is six months before he cheated on you That's a very that that's a scary thing right now Now on one side you can look at like oh he got it out of system early Oh, he ain't know he got out of system it take that to happen one time and for you to overcome it for the relationship to be strong On the other side you look at like wow, that's all the self-control you got you can even be faithful for two years before you slip out there You couldn't even Do that and not get caught Like you might be looking at yourself like I did me a little something but you don't know about it But it's like if a person cheat to the point that they messy enough that they get caught because cheating is not hard to do There's a whole lot of people cheating men and women whole lot of people cheating and not getting caught When a person is cheating and they get caught typically when you kept somebody cheating that mean they didn't cheat on you ten times Because you rarely get caught for the first crime you rarely get caught Maria God bless and I Canadian God bless that C8 God bless and I coach your content lately again has been a blessing in time No question.

I'm gonna tell you like this right here That could be true That's not how I'm built You know me personally, I'm not finna be around a woman that I like for 43 years and not make no more a Lot of time now from what I have seen in my business the thousands of coaching sessions I don't have every time friends who was platonic friends Getting to a relationship it turned out to be a disaster I cannot pinpoint not now time where platonic friends of several years got together and it worked out Because it just too is it's just apples and oranges Because the the thing being platonic friends allow you to do is allow you to create a fantasy Allow you to hold up my son a little voice Allow you to create a fantasy not now.  And he got more crud than a mud slide in them draws You see I'm saying a lot of time when you platonic friends that allow you to build up this fantasy and Then boom and the way a lot of men work is soon they touch the one that got away The thrill is gone. That's why the man made this song the thrill is gone The thrill is gone. Wait Prince at that. So y'all got to remember now You got to be careful with that. Don't don't let desperation set in. Okay, KK You thought I missed y'all done PLN How to behave around people who are blocked on Facebook when I meet them in person unexpectedly Like ain't nothing happened. Like ain't nothing happened Yeah, hey, how you doing? Oh, great to see you. All right. How's everything? All right. All right.   Nope. How you doing?  I speak. How you doing?

Corridor that's a rhetorical question Del v. God bless your height on it. I'm pregnant moved away from my early Baby father he ignores messages regarding the Baby, is it worth fighting for a child support risking him? Getting visitation says that's a personal choice, you know, cuz you gonna have to live with that not me You see what I mean So you got you got to really weigh your heart on that you can't lean on nobody else On nobody else input because you got to live with that either way or the other and that and when you're dealing with you Know blended family. I mean co-parenting That's something that you have to deal with it. That's that's nothing. That's not a light thing You know, that's not something just to throw something out that I just could Irresponsibly throw out some some feedback on the situation that deep Without having all other details and everything going in there Now we do have co-parenting coaches on my mentor dot life So everybody who bump into the video and you need some outside support guidance, whatever make sure you go to my mentor Dot like that's why I created certified train coaches It's therapists on there counselors on there you read a bio you can select what topic you want to talk on you click the filter Select the topic and then look through the coaches read the bios Go all the way through on from the cue Q of the man saying he failed me and I Know not to wait, but if he grows in circles back Circles his way back can it work felt he was my husband.

That's when it's least likely to work because y'all had Years to get to know each other and still decided to spit in somebody's face But when it's been under a year, you still learning each other. You only know each other so mistakes and You know things like that is expected to happen. It just can't be So disrespectful, you know like with the cheating, you know six months in that right there That may not be a forgivable offense.

Hi, Tony. Can you talk more about how it's okay for 50 plus to join a dating site versus someone younger Essentially what that's saying is you didn't been here Much longer than a 25 year old so you didn't seem more of the games You didn't seem more of the ways of man And so you more mature and it's a lot of sharks online plenty of sharks The dating site y'all be on Offender the other dating site y'all be on Dumbo the other site y'all be on you see in the mean no harmony calm unmatched Dot-com Unhinged all these different sites is a hot mess and so What happened is when you get fit there your your life you may be active in doing stuff But you might not have the same time, you know You might not want to go out three four times a week to the lounge at the restaurant to the you know Organization that you found on meetup.com. So you may join the site and Then you can read between the lines a little better So that's why I say and then a lot of times when you get older if you really really desperate for somebody You could end up going to desperate measures So instead of going to desperate measures your desperate measure if anything If you want to do online dating you should be you know mature enough to handle all of the games That's gonna come with that. It's like when you selling stuff on eBay. They be having a million games on now That's how online dating is. It's the eBay for people looking for love Or angel god bless you saw your video does he regret losing you it talks about grown men Spoke with my mentor and said he saw me as a wife But he but he was not my husband. Can a grown boy regret losing a wifey woman, too? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he could regret it but um in the real sense of the word Not really you said I mean so The bigger issue is Wasting your time worrying about if he regrets it you have to just know that's his loss And you can't spend too much time worrying about If he regretted and the lesson that he's gonna get and hoping he get a lesson and hoping he meet Trashy women that he can compare to you you just have to Renew your mind in a different way and that's one of the things that we do as humans a lot of time We put our energy in the wrong places and we focus on the wrong thing like hey is my ex happy Hey, it's will my ex find somebody better than me. Hey will my ex regret it? You just have to say listen. It's better to have love and lost and to not love at all Let me heal. Let me grow. Let me block them. Let me cut off all whatever and let me move on with my life But typically to be honest with you as adults We know what we are doing when we're doing it and so When a man is taking a woman for granted He know he taking in her for granted and he's doing it because what he's saying is I'm willing to lose you You know if a man cheats on you a dog you out of disrespect you or don't shoot his shot Or don't make a move and don't court you what he is ultimately saying is I'm willing to let you slip away I'm willing to let you go But if a man meet a woman that he absolutely 100% wants He's not going to let her go. He's going to do everything in his power to have that woman as his one Coach broom God bless you how to differentiate between convenience and actual growth when forgiving and ex Well You have to look at it when you look at growth. It's like what has changed So if something is growing that means it's changing if someone is growing they are changing So if he cursed like a sailor and now he watches mouth If he smoked like a chimney now he don't smoke if he drank like a fish now He ain't drinking like a fish You see what I mean if he was too aggressive in his communication now He emotionally intelligent that's growth but now convenience is they're essentially the same person and just kind of Not showing every little thing or doing it to the same level But they really haven't grown and changed and they just kind of you know going along to get along So you have to be able to Really look at that how long have we been live? Let's try forty seven minutes forty seven and a half minute and I'm only doing sixty minutes because I think my son's down the bed and I'm an early video That I was shooting. I don't know when it's going up or if it went up my wife was trying on her son dresses So I need to go finish seeing her outfit because she liked try every one I'm on me I'll order something. Hey, it's gonna feel or not God bless you KK. I'm 25 been watching your videos for over a year But I still have some fairy-tellish ideas about what marriage really is Tony What is the reality of marriage? Maybe I'm devaluing my single life now The reality of a marriage that has two people that wanted to work. It means that you're constantly growing See marriage is a job that you cannot retire from Love is a job that you cannot retire from so yes You can get a sweet spot and you smooth selling But every single day when you're dealing with humans, you're gonna have some type of little riff And so in marriage a healthy marriage what you have to learn is is this worth breaking up over? If it's not worth breaking up over then it's not worth arguing over Now just because it's not worth breaking up over does not mean it's not worth Addressing but addressing something and arguing over is two different things So when you married like right now a week ago, my wife asked me hey, I want you to kiss me more So I said, okay, I need to you know, make sure I got me some Listerine and make sure you know my mouth Right because I'm white wanna kid. So right for this hill. I Went in the kitchen my wife was in the kitchen looking at her phone I went over there stood up went to kissing on her.  I said no, I don't go Because as soon as she say this what I need then that's what I want to put in action When I tell her a baby, I need this right here from you Need a little bit more of this right here now Soon as I say that the next day won't she put it in action So the reality of a healthy marriage is there is no ego you constantly making mistakes, but you constantly learning and growing and That's what it is. But see you have to make sure that you got somebody that want you as much as you want them Shawty God bless you. Hey, we got 10 more minutes now. Hey Tony What does it say to me and when you express that your longest relationship was only nine months? I've only been in two relationships my whole life One one for nine months 12 years ago and one for four months in December 2020 Well because of the teachers that's out there for me and today data expressed to them That you crazy Because of the people that's teaching men the the people that men are listening to I Share I share wisdom and stuff with men too But not many men watch it because it sounds too much like right.  Well, sometimes Poetry only makes sense to the author How to start over at 25 failed my master's program focusing on ex who's who still doesn't want me Was supposed to graduate this year, but now I'll be 27 when I finish. I feel behind regretful advice You know, I went to my my sister-in-law med school Graduation couple a year or two ago and It was a lady who spoke who was graduating from med school as well as she was 44 years old And so and she had four kids. So you 25 you a spring chicken.  You see I'm saying you working on sound like you said masters You said I mean so it's like you just got to keep going.  Hi, Tony. How do I cope with loneliness while single? I cut off all my toxic family and friends. So the loneliness is real I am working towards building my business. I missed the company and intimacy with a man The bigger you build your business the more prepared for a relationship. You're gonna be The bigger you build that business the more you bring it to the table the more attractive you're gonna be and so life happens in seasons Right now you in that grind season, you know, and so you have to understand that respect that We've got seven more minutes on here and be okay with that and just Put your hands to the plow and just go to work and just how Boa saw roof in the fields working See roof one standing on the corner looking cute roof one down at the club looking cute roof one down at the lounge and all in in the city hall prancing up and down the courtyard roof was in the field working and Boa said hey You see I mean and so that's one of the lessons is you got to be so busy working That the man because one thing that men love is ambition There's one thing me in love is a go getter even if in his heart he want to be in a position to So his wife could sit down if she want to if they have children or if they adopt kids or if they just got too many dogs He want to be in that position, but it's that ambition that really attract him a real man to her So my wife told me she was in school to be a doctor. I'm like whoa Alright, it's that ambition. She's not a doctor. She work in our companies. We work together She earned more than most doctors earn and She fine with that. She comfortable, but it was the ambition the fact that she had a goal that made her Extra attractive so that's what you got to realize Hi, I am 20 years old and interested in life coaching. I know I am too young right now But what age do you suggest I can start?   I'm like, I'm a whole grown man I don't really don't understand what her challenges is in life, but the mama Hired me for coaching for herself and then the coach and help her So she said I want you to coach my daughter in the coach and help the daughter but then I You know, let them go sometimes you as a coach you have to you know Release your client and I said, you know, hey, this I'm not the coach for this right here because this is 16 year old And I'm not built. I'm not a youth coach. So I don't have a patience for this hill I ain't got the pace. I got my own kids to raise. I ain't got the patient for this hill But it's youth coaches. So we got youth coaches on my mentor that like So you always could get started because you never know like there was a high school that hired me as A life coach for the high school for the I really was working one-on-one with the 11th graders And they put me on retainer, you know thousands of dollars a month to come in and it was a private school to come in I Think it was two days a week to come in two days a week and I would be there for four to eight hours meeting one-on-one with the 11th graders because the 11th grade was a really rough class and So Based on that and this is a life coach as a mentor just marketing myself put myself out there So you you got to be willing to go where you celebrate it not where you tolerate it You 20 trying to coach a 40 year old unless you were expert in something then it might not work Tammy Brown God bless you. What type of response is your boyfriend looking for when he asked you how much do you love me? I never respond to it. That's a strange question to me um It really it really means that words of affirmation is his love language and It also so it kind of mean it's kind of like he wants you to stroke his ego But not in a bad way. It's just men need to hear. I love you too Men need to hear I love you this much too Like men need to know that they are loved and they are and we are appreciated and we want to hear it It's soothing to us just as it is to a woman And so when you express that to a man It actually could benefit you because if he doesn't Know how much you love him, especially if he's a good man Now if he a dog and you know, he cheated in order to cheat it and he and you know His angle may be how much do you love me so I could see what I can get away with Then you write not to answer that question But if you know, he kind of like saying hey, I want to know that we in this together All right, y'all end of the question now. I got the goal Luciana God bless you Hey, Tony's okay to join several gyms versus only having one when a singer. Yeah, it's okay. Luciana got that kind of bread Join all the gym you want to join Join all the gym you want to join Hey, God bless y'all. I appreciate you now. Listen Remember back to the same message that I don't state it before You cannot let your desperation talk you out your common sense Every single question that is asked to anybody We already know the answer sometimes we just want confirmation But we already know the answer because Inside of every problem there are seeds to the solution So sometimes you just got to step outside and you got to look in and you got to ask yourself. Hmm now hold on Am I at that place yet?  Hey, God bless y'all appreciate you and We'll talk tomorrow


My name is Samuel Bierg and I'm the head laser technician at the DNA Medicine Institute based out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. We were excited when we first heard about the competition because we're already working on blood testing equipment and we're working on what's hopefully the world's smallest flow cytometer, which uses microfluidics and lasers to analyze and count cells. We've been doing work with NASA, they've given us some money and we've helped develop technology for them to try to look at certain biomarkers that relate to space travel. Single molecule fluorescence scanning means you're using some sort of intense source of light, usually lasers, to excite a molecule, in this case DNA, so brightly that you can measure the amount of light that's emitted just by that one molecule. And I can tell you a lot of things about the molecule that you can't see when you have more molecules together. We're developing a product that we call nano strips, which are little fluorescent particles that we're running through our instrument and depending on how strongly those fluoresce we can determine certain things about your health depending on what test we're trying to run. For this competition, one of the basic things is you have to be able to read vital signs and then there's a certain list of diseases that you have to be able to diagnose. We're basing this on the star tricorder and for that you just kind of hold it up and wave it up and down and it makes some noises and some lights flash and then you have all the information you need. And that would be amazing and if there's any team in this competition that can make a product that will do that then they absolutely deserve first, second and third place prize if they can do all that. But I think realistically you need to strike a balance between, you know, patient needs of use, patient comfort and being able to actually diagnose the diseases that we're working on here. You know, I don't think a lot of the teams here really have a good system beyond the bioscience of how they're going to diagnose those. I think without looking into the blood it's going to be very difficult to diagnose a lot of these diseases and that's sort of where we're starting from. Just trying to get as much information as we can out of a drop of blood. That was sort of our goal even before we entered the competition. Other teams have come at this from an industrial design point of view first where we're going to make the sleekest product and ours is not going to be the sleekest product but I think we've got a huge leg up on the actual diagnostic side of things and then we just need to get everything into a form factor that people are comfortable with.


Hi, I'm Daniel Kiss, a staff physician and interventional cardiologist at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. So interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that seeks to help people who are having chest pain, heart attacks, through procedures where we go in and open up the heart arteries by placing stents. Additionally, I specialize in structural heart disease, which is the management of valvular heart problems, holes in the heart, things like this. I truly love what I do. The great thing about interventional cardiology, particularly structural heart disease, is the intersection of science and the personal aspect. I really get to be challenged by how am I going to manage this particular valve problem, or how am I going to treat this coronary artery, while at the same time being able to establish a real rapport with my patients to establish a therapeutic patient-doctor relationship, which is why we went into this in the first place. You know, there's a lot of awards and accolades and things that come through the course of training that gets you to this point. But at the end of the day, as a physician, when I reflect on what I'm most proud of, in my head, there's a list of names of patients who I've met in very dire circumstances on death store. Through our own ingenuity, hard work, and a little bit of luck, we've been able to kind of salvage them, bring them back, and get them back to meaningful lives, meaningful time with their families. That, to me, is without a doubt the most important thing one could ever aspire to do as a physician.


Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna talk. Yeah real talk. So do you let me let me ask you this Do you do you feel like? Do you think if mode 3 was uh? What do you think mode 3 would approve what you doing a song with trial boy? Yeah, I don't think he would occur. I don't think he would be on beat It wasn't like it is if he was living it wouldn't be not it wouldn't be none of that extra stuff for so Sure, it would he would have been cool to do that song. Yeah. Yeah, and I would have for sure and And I wouldn't have cared who care. I mean just like just like now I just really wouldn't care who cared about nothing but for sure I feel like three three three was from what I from from from the times that man spoke three was solid a solid dude You know, that's that's that's that's real.  You can't speak to I don't know I don't know none of them. I get it. Yeah, so I definitely understand. I feel you. Yeah Everything the way how everything went Did all of this did you math out the way how everything would fall or did it just fall in your lap? all these opportunities Moe being up. Well, I know how Moe got on there. Yeah, but But trap boy, did you sit down and be like okay to get that's I'm gonna do this Oh, yeah, yeah, when it got to that So so I didn't plan like who was gonna be on outside or no or those kind of things those kind of things It's kind of started the things that started to happen, you know, you know, what you know Where you gonna go? You see a you see the finish line, but you know, sometimes Take these time twists and turns to get there. Yeah, but you never know you never know what you never know What you know what guy gonna throw your way.  Do you really? I think outside was gonna be big regardless No matter what now matter not I think I know outside was gonna be big no matter what But only big if you had a feature with a big artist for sure for sure And that's what I was looking for but now we're just you on there Yeah, no because you gotta you gotta you gotta you gotta have a you gotta get away to get the whole world to hit a song And and the way you do that some of the time especially when you just starting that's what matter of fact That's what all artists do.   He's he has a talent that somebody's gonna discover that same way Yeah, yeah, like you just can't deny good music. Mm-hmm music is just it's gonna happen come hell of hot water Like like I was saying you got that finish line. His twist was just ended up being one. Yeah My twist ended up I ran in the three. Yeah, like that's that's that's that's the bottom line.


So welcome to this week in markets and it's an important one ahead because we've got central bank decisions from the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank and it's the busiest of all of the weeks for the earning season with all of the big familiar names you've been waiting for, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Exxon, but Donald's and many more. So let's get straight to it and talk about some of the things in a bit more detail starting off then with earning season before we delve into the central banks. We've got 107 S&P 500 companies, six of the Dow 30 components will be reporting. Going through on a sector basis some of the main highlights, I've really zoned in here on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, very typical of an earning season week. It tends to be if you think of a bell shaped distribution, the fewer companies reporting tail end on Monday and Friday, the bulk coming in the midpoint of the week. Sector-wise technology, you've got Amazon, we'll be keeping a very close eye on them, of course, we did see initially after market earnings from Microsoft last week on reports of their cloud computing division, AWS actually rose, but of course you saw on the more tepid guidance for the cloud part of the business that Microsoft issued, their shares actually fell quite aggressively. So be keeping a very close eye on that indeed. We've also got the likes of Apple, Alphabet and Metta, the later two, of course, we tend to look on a little bit on the macroeconomic climate given the reliance that they still have on advertising revenues in particular. Then from an energy industrial perspective, headlines are going to be dominated by likes of Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Caterpillar, those industrial names are going to give us a good sense check of as general appetite in the global economy. Remember Caterpillar, the latter tends to break down their numbers by certain geographic continental regions. And then on a farmer side of things, Eli Lilly, Bristol Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Amgen, Merck, so all of the big ones are coming out on a consumer discretionary side of things, McDonald's and Starbucks. And then for car makers, Ford Motor and General Motors as well will be reporting. So yeah, particularly busy one indeed. And it's Thursday after market when you get the big three in the tech space, Amazon, Apple and Alphabet, the AAA. Looking then at central banks, this is really going to dominate the main focus for this week. And as you can see here, a good headline I saw coined by the FT, back to the future. And the reason why is that this is baking in the market's expectations that rates across all three central banks to a slightly differing degree are going to go up most likely this week. And that then taking interest rates back to where we were prior to the global financial crisis, obviously well over and above the previous interest rate cycle that we saw just before the pandemic hit. So what can we expect? And let's go through this in an order of the Federal Reserve first. So here he is, the main man Jerome Powell. The Fed are going off market pricing very much expected to downshift. They've gone from 75 consecutive times to 50 to downshift now to 25. So a slowering pace in terms of their tightness of policy. So we're getting closer towards that terminal rate, the peak of interests. And all of this has come amid signs of cooling inflation, of course, in the US. Now, the shift in the Fed's approach, obviously with the focus on inflation, a bit more detail there, consumer price growth in December slowed. That was actually the sixth straight month that US inflation had slowed. Clocking in at 6.5%, though inflation remains far, of course, above the central bank's 2% target, the December level was its lowest that we've seen since October of 2021. Comment I saw out of an economist at UBS, which I thought was quite good, was that he expects the step down to 25 basis point rate hike will come with the phrase or the notion of, we have more work to do type of language. And also following up that this is going to be a meeting where they're going to try to not be too dovish. And that's really quite critical. The markets so far have more broadly had a really good start to the year and the equity space at least in the US. And a lot of this is based on this idea that interest rates were getting towards the peak. And so therefore, less of tightening ahead. Although there's many bears on the street, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan being too over the weekend, continue to reiterate that earnings evaluations, companies evaluations still need to fall further. And thus, then there might be some short covering that has explained some of the rationale for equity strength and the equities will fall back. But what the Fed will be conscious of is, look, not letting the markets get too carried away here. We are shifting down the gears, so to speak, that that doesn't mean yet that we, perhaps at the end of the rate hike cycle, or that we're not serious about still the threat of more broad based long lasting inflationary conditions. And so it's just trying to harness that kind of runaway spirit that markets typically have with overextending when we're particularly going through this pivot phase of starting to talk about the end of the rate hike cycle. So yeah, it's going to be a tricky one. The main focus will be on that language, the press conference, what happens next. Not so much what happens now, as you can see here, we can pretty much tell you what's going to happen. They're going to hike rates by 25 basis points. That's very much the expected outcome as far as how markets are positioned. So it's the forward guidance thereafter that's going to be really critical. One of the things that the FT isolated as potential language changes to look out in the statement that we'll get on Wednesday is the current terminology, which is ongoing increases in the target range would be appropriate to be potentially updated to some further tightening, i.e. a step closer towards the end coming is the idea. All right, well, let's pivot over and talk a little bit about Christine Lagarde, the ECB, the president. Now, she signaled earlier this month that the bank would quote, stay the course of large interest rate increases suggesting that the same half percentage point, so 0.5% increase at the last meeting, and if that were to materialize, it would take the deposit rate to 2.5% from what was minus half a percent in June of last year. Now, with little certainty on the rate change, the main point of interest of the ECB meeting will be the messaging about further rate hike decisions. So you can see there's a bit of a theme here emerging already that connect these all three from an investor's perspective. Now, one of the things that we saw this morning was Spanish inflation, and the reason why I'm talking about Spanish inflation is we do get flash CPI, I'll talk about it in a moment later on this week, so a bit of a litmus test here, and it was a surprise because Spanish inflation unexpectedly quickened, snapping five months of slowdowns that you can see here, little bit of a blip up that we saw, and this was a big surprise. The reason why is because analysts were anticipating that inflation was actually gonna drop again down to 4.8%. So it was 1% over and above expectations. Now, I must admit the analyst ranges were quite wide for this, and what's the rationale for that Spanish acceleration? It was driven by a rebound of fuel costs and smaller discounts in start of year apparel sales was the reasoning. So this throws a little bit of a spanner in the works, however, we're gonna get more intel ahead of the official ECB rate decision on Thursday. This comes with the flash PMI data on Wednesday, and from a policy perspective, the release will have most think little sway on the outcome of that Thursday meeting. Obviously, we have to wait and see for the numbers. That's because the market pricing is around 87% chance of a 50 basis point move. However, beyond February, a strong point for core inflation could convince some market participants that another 50 in March is on the cars despite recent source reports that have been in circulation suggesting that 25 basis points may be on the table for that meeting. So sources, these kind of drip fed leaks in, undisclosed from the central bank using media outlets have kind of pushed the market to think about, look, we're gonna downshift as well at the ECB after this rate hike. So that flash CPI, the core reading could be quite key or not, whether or that's going to come to fruition. Now, the other thing in Europe that we've had as a precursor to that rate decision is the German economy that unexpectedly contracted in the last quarter of 2022 as high gas prices and rising borrowing costs squeezed demand that came out earlier today. Okay, so moving on to the Bank of England. So Andrew Bailey here, the governor and markets are pricing into the Bank of England will raise interest rates by 0.5%. That means then that that will take the bank rate to 4% up from the historical levels of course at the beginning of the cycle at 0.1 and it would be the highest interest rates that we've hit since 2008 here in the UK. The reason why, supported by a tighter labor market whereby unemployment levels are relatively low, job vacancies are high, UK nominal wages rose a near record pace in November with private sector pay reaching an annual 7.2%. We saw this early around a week ago or so. Headline inflation ticked down in December but services inflation particularly key given the way of which our economy is composed heavily dominated by that side of things. A better measure of underlying inflationary pressures perhaps that has accelerated still. So a couple of things here that I saw particular commentary coming out HSBC, they said that they think the combination of lower near-term inflation receding inflation expectations and the rapid slowdown in the housing market and the Bank of England's own sub-target of medium-term inflation forecast mean the MPC opt for a slower pace of tightening. So perhaps then could they go for 25 this time round? So yeah, definitely keeping a close eye on that that's coming on Thursday. So just to recap, Wednesday we'll get the Fed and the following day you get the other two central banks. Just talking about the overall other events to conclude of some things to watch out for going through in a chronological order, going in the overnight session tonight into Tuesday you get Chinese industrial profits and PMI data. You also get the rest of the Eurozone GDP data on Tuesday. You then get the Eurozone flash CPI I mentioned on Wednesday alongside manufacturing PMI. You also get the ISM manufacturing figure of course gonna be looking out for in the States. That comes then with the idea of non-farm payrolls coming on Friday which I'll go into in a moment. Then on Wednesday for any oil traders you do have the joint ministerial monitoring committee otherwise known as the JMMC. So this is the people who observe then the adherence to the rules outset by OPEC plus for their quotas. They're gonna be meeting on Wednesday to take stock of the energy market fundamentals at this person point in time. This is a not, I repeat, not a decision-making meeting. It's one of the regular ones that they have the next OPEC plus ministerial meeting is not slated until the 4th of June. If you remember, they've moved now the timelines from a less frequent monthly meeting to push these out a little bit now that prices relatively have stabilized post the Ukraine crisis. Other things looking out for on Thursday US factory orders, initial jobless claims, US durable goods. And then we also get on Friday aside from payrolls, the services, PMI is coming out of the Eurozone. But payrolls, what can we expect there? So overall, we're probably going to get a continuation of a trend. And that trend being that job creation in the US is continuing to moderate the expectation of the headlines 175,000 this time round. That's against a previous of two to three and a three month average of just shy of 250,000. With monetary policy makers firmly though fixated on reducing inflationary pressures less than the job creation number it's going to be an outsized attention toward the average hourly earnings figure. They're expected to rise at 0.3% month-to-month and that would match then the same rate of what we saw in December. So that's the key metric to the count for there. But that is it.
