And for we have 17 participants, we want to welcome you all to our webinar with Diane Wilson, the wonderful, wonderful activists, Code Pinker and Veterans for Peace and Environmental Activists Supremo. And we hope Diane will turn on her. I finally got it. Finally, we hear you. Now can we see you. Let's see. You may start the video. Yeah, it says I'm unable to start because the host has stopped it. Or on your, we just want you to start your video on the webinar so there should be something right there. Yeah. Yeah, I keep trying. I keep trying to push it in it. It says the host has stopped it. Oh, okay. Oh, no, no, no. Now it made me the host. Okay. Wow. Okay, now, now. The hunger strike this. Well, at least you have an excuse. I don't even have an excuse to, we want to thank Maxine and Mary of Code Pink Women for Peace for talking to us, myself through this and helping Diane's picture appear. Yeah. And we want to thank everyone who's on on with us for this wonderful webinar with Diane Wilson, our great friend and activists, colleague and so many different things of the, from, well, everything. And in fact, if I, Diane, if it's all right with you, could we start out and we'll show a few pictures of you and the various exploits that you're having been on hunger strike for what is it, 11 days. That's right. 11 days. You're looking really good. Yeah, I'm not feeling too bad. You, you, you get fuzzy in the head and weak in the legs but if I'm sitting I'm doing good. Well, and we are so pleased to be able to help elevate the massive work that you're doing in order to bring attention to us of an environmental problem in your area and we'll ask you to tell us about this but just to kind of go through these slides about stopping the dredging stopping the oil export and you, this is one of your signs from 11 days but and then just to give a little bit of, of a walk down memory lane for everyone of your unreasonable woman book that's been such a godsend to everyone. Diary of an echo outlaw what a story. That was going to schedule your boat just attention. That was a new word I was going to sink it sink it. And then from Texas to India to Taiwan, all of your work. And we'll ask you to talk to a little bit about some of these in just a few minutes but just to give people will tell us about this one what what was this all about. Well, believe it or not, it was after 30 days of doing a hunger strike in the ditch at Union carbide, and I had, I did the action to support the people in Bo Paul. As a matter of fact, it was the code pink women before they were code pink, who really made that hunger strike and support of the people of Bo Paul. Matter of fact, they call me from India and said that was the most successful hunger strike that ever did and it was, it was the women who started code pink, and it was, and, and I had been in the ditch for 30 days. I had been looking at a tower, and I was wondering if I could get over Union carbides fence and I figured I could. It didn't look like it was that hard it just had a high fence. And so, one day I put on a hard hat, you know and hard hats float in off the bay all the time from the, from the oil rigs out there. I put on a hard hat. I had a banner over my shoulder, put on some boots, a pair of sunglasses and took off for the plant. And the workers are always, you know, they thought I was a worker that lost my rice. So they gave me a ride right into the plant. And I scaled their 80 foot tower and I was, I bet I was up there, at least an hour and they never even knew it and I had to stand up and wait but security before they even, you know, I could have been anything and then it all hit the fan and I was up there eight hours. There was probably FBI. There was three or four cop cars ambulances deputies Union carbide security you name it they were there and and every time they started to climb the tower very carefully I look at them and I'd go, No, and then back down. It was really, it was really funny to have that much power of those guys because they were scared to come up and eventually they got that 200 foot. You know, rig and brought it out there and they put a SWAT team up there to get me down, which they did, which they did. Oh my reading in the chat and of course we'd like for everyone who's on the. This is a webinar so we don't really have the everyone's pictures to show as part of the gallery but if you write to us in the chat who you are. You know, Jody is Jody Evans is just written saying I was there in the back of the. Yeah, she talked me out to drink enzyme water. I was drinking this plain water out of the well and I think she put red hot pepper in it, and she put a lemon juice in it and yeah, yes, he brought order to that hunger strike me. Oh goodness. And let's see, we've got another picture. This was telling about your climbing the fence or and all. And also the whole issue of Bhopal, did you go to India? I went to India after Union Carbide blew up and Union Carbide is right there in Cedar, it's right outside of town. And it blew up one day and I had Ward Morehouse. People got to know that guy. He was wonderful. He was out of New York and I think he was, and he dressed like a carbide executive.  Anyway, but he was one of the best activists. And I know every time Union Carbide saw him, they must have just got very nervous. Let's put it that way. But he made it so I could go to India. And there was a tribunal for people in Asia who had been harmed by hazards. And so there was people from Japan, from Sri Lanka, from Japan, I mean, like Vietnam and Korea. And and and I got to tell my story about Union Carbide there in Cedar. Yes, I went there. And then I'm real well. There's a picture of you. Yeah, no, no, no, that one right there is which one are you looking at? The one on the right. Oh, yeah, yeah. That that one is I'm sitting in front of Dow in Cedar. And that's canoe. Actually, yeah, a little canoe down there. Yeah, that's how I met canoe at that that Union Carbide hunger strike. And and I believe that other guy there is he was a Green Party candidate. So he came down. But we're sitting in the ditch at Union Carbide in Cedar. Well, how about the picture on the left, Black Planet Awards? Yeah, yeah, well, that was actually a lot of fun. We delivered a a the Black Planet Award that came from Germany, the Ethicon Foundation. And I hand delivered it to Formosa's, the Wong family, which is a big deal. And there were like 40. And they call them in Taiwan, they're real up front. And they said thugs, they're thugs. And so they were all dressed in security uniforms, 40 people blocking us from going in. And there were so many media with cameras and activists that we collided at the door and busted it open. And we just fell in. And I threw that that trophy, which is a round ball is like a ball, I just threw it at the worms. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. Well, and all of this work, and you're going up on the the big thing that the crane had to drag you down. What what was the ultimate what ended up happening after that? They gelled me for, I don't know, 180 days or so and probably if and and went in and talked to the sheriff and shook her finger at it in there longer. But but but out of that out of that jail time and I was very, very proud to be able to do that. The jail Texas jail project started and it has between canoe, Christian Avini and gun do and between the Diana Clader and Anne Ride. And it's it's it's a wonderful project that helps the inmates and their families and for advocacy. And and one of them really outstanding things they did is they got where pregnant women are not chained when they're giving birth. Shackle when they're giving birth. That's right. But it was a Texas jail project that was instrumental in getting that changed. That's right. That's right. They're amazing. Well, so putting putting the time that you were in the huskow and the county jail in Victoria to good use. I did. You know, it's like the story they say that David Barragan, when they sent him to jail, he started organizing the inmates and they threw him out of jail.  Just turn it around. Well, that when I first met you, though, was after you. Well, before you went to jail, but after you had climbed that tower and been a big anti-war activist, tell us some about that, please. Well, actually, it you know, I spoke at Bioneers a couple of times and and people there seem to get a big kick out of me talking about unreasonable women. And I would even after I talked about being unreasonable, I would even have women who would someone would come up crying to me about you know, how that affected them. And so I remember I went to Kenny and his wife, Nina, and I said, you know, I think we are doing unreasonable women for the earth type of thing. And so they got some funding and put a number of people in a canyon in California. And we talked about what it would be to be unreasonable. And the first thing we did after that meeting, they supported me at Union Carbide Hunger Strike. And then I think we went to went to another Bioneers and someone stood up and asked this group of women, they said, well, what are you going to do about the imminent war in Iraq? And we decided to do a hunger strike. And that's where we went. We went to Lafayette Park and camped out, got shoved out of Lafayette Park more times than I can count. I think it was freezing cold. It might have been snowing that time. And but you know, we formed this coalition and we did strikes to another hunger strike in the war. And we went to Baghdad. And I believe that one picture is when we went to Baghdad. It was before the war started and before the human shields started coming in. Wow. Yeah. Well, and I think I'm, well, you can see, let's see, there's Medea in that picture with you. There's Jody in the background. I'm not I'm not sure who the other folks are, but good for you all for going to to Baghdad. And then then in 2005, the pictures on the right, how about tell us about that? I guess I can. They're kind of blocked. Well, it's, is that Cindy Sheans? Yeah. It was Cindy Sheans and and you probably know more about that. She was the curl at absolutely ran that camp. It was it was like a company there. And if and then was the one who got everybody up and moving in the morning and get the food on and it was it was the most amazing sudden happening.  There were like how many thousands? Well, overall, in the 27 days we had the camp, there were over 15,000 people. Yeah. It was unbelievable. It was unbelievable. And I remember some civil rights people came out and I remember, what was it? Joan bias? Didn't she didn't she show up? Yeah. It was unbelievable. Yeah. And you're negotiating with several times. Well, I think they figured I was too aggressive with them and they brought Ann in for diplomacy. And then tell us about this picture of Amon Jordan and what what triggered going to Amon Jordan. It was after our hunger strike. We did another strike to bring the troops home. Wasn't that what it was? Bring the troops home. And after the hunger strike, we were invited to go to was it Jordan we went to or was it Iraq? Yeah. Iran. Jordan. We went to there and we talked to a lot of groups that wanted to voice their concerns about how they felt their country should be run and and that type of thing. And that photo is a gathering of a number of us. And it was amazing. I think after that, I think we might have went to Beirut from there. Yep. I think part of the group did go on. The Iraqi parliamentarians had come to us or sent a messenger to us at Lafayette Square saying when you in your fast, why don't you in your fast but come to to Amon where our a great number of parliamentarians are and we'll tell you about a peace plan we have and we just need to help getting the US to go along with this peace plan. So we ended up going and breaking our fast with the parliamentarians. Yeah. And me and Anne had went for chicken, right? It was like we just had a hankering for fried chicken. I remember that. We broke our fast a little bit early but we did 30 days so nobody got tired at us. That was that was really quite a time to be there in Amon and meet with the parliamentarians. And then that was when the Israeli attack on Lebanon happened. And then you and several others, Medea and several others went on to Beirut. Right. Right. That was amazing. And I remember we went to some of the camps, the refugee camps, and we handed out. We went to visit and then I remember one day, don't tell me how Medea raised it, but she had all of this ice cream, all these ice cream and we were handing out ice cream in this in this refugee camp. And I remember they're hearing loud explosions and I nearly jumped out of my skin and I couldn't imagine what that must be like on a on a steady term, getting that type of the shell blasts and hearing it all the time. Yeah. Well, but Medea is on this webinar and I'm sure she'll she'll write us a few little notes about where she got that. Yeah, I don't know where she got it. In the middle of all that bombing, I mean we went to two places where what was so amazing with Medea and I'm trying to think kind of reddish hair. What's what's her name? I can't be my brain. I can't remember her names, but we would go to places and they said you cannot get in here. There is no way. And Medea would go there, go talk to a couple of people and she said they'll take us. It was just hopping the car. Well, Todd Berry's also on and then Todd just wrote, Medea banned me from ice cream, but she gives the way to the rest of the world. Yes, she did. I got some great pictures of that actually. Oh, well, let's go. Yeah. And Gail Murphy's in. No, it was Gail, I'm sorry. Gail Murphy's not working. I see Barbara Briggs-Letson back there, Medea, Jeff Millard was on that trip. Father Louis Vitale was on the trip. Oh, I know. He wanted to go to Beirut too. Yeah, but he was too sick. He got too sick. He got too sick. Let's go on and then we're going to go through a few more historical opportunities to fully understand what Diane decides is going to do something. She does it. And we'll get on to the current project that she's working on in just a minute, but let's go through a couple of more. Oh, that. I believe we were in front of BP's headquarters. And I had, I get ideas and I get these spontaneous ideas. And I think they're really good. And I said, we need to go do a naked protest. And there were some Texas women with me and they said, oh no, Diane, that's not a good idea. And I said, no, it would be the shock of it will be good. Except everybody stripped off except me. I was hiding behind boards or something or another. No, I see Ray Abelay is in here with not much on. That's right. There were a couple of them really, really, but I was, but it was good. And I did. I heard a, I remember on the way home, I don't know who I was with, but they kept asking us if we were going to do it again. It was like, please do it again. Well, the sign says expose BP's indecent greed. So BP's indecent, not, not this. And I think Leslie Harris in the picture, and I think that's Nell, who's, you know, passed on. I think that was Nell standing next to you. And I don't know who's in the seagull outfit. But remember that it's probably Medea. I think that was about her size and that seagull outfit traveled around quite a bit. It ended up in Washington and in a congressional hearing that we'll hear a little bit about. Tell us about being in front of the White House and on another hunger show. Yes. Let me see. Which one is, oh, this is Guantanamo, wouldn't it? Guantanamo. Yeah. There were, there was myself and there was I, those vets for peace, Elliot and them. And I remember Eric and yeah, there was, there was a strong crew of serious hunger fasters. And, and it was, I think that was a mate, one of our major actions on a really bright sunny day. And, and at the very end, I just decided to I kind of do, when I finish a hunger strike, I just get an impulse to really finish it well.  And so they helped me get up there. And, and I think Ann and Medea and then we're distracting the cops and I got over there.   And then I think the breath got knocked out of you, didn't it? It really, really did.  And, and, and what was real funny is one of the guys that was wrestling me, I think that guy right there, he knocked himself in the face with his own gun. And so he was bleeding. And so when they went to the back to question me with Secret Service, they kept saying, did she do that? Did she do that? And he's like, I did it myself, like did it myself. I guess he did when we know that he was acting. So that was after 50, a 57 day hunger strike just to close Guantanamo and Guantanamo still open with 40 prisoners, but hopefully the, the Biden administration will finally get that prison closed down. Let's, let's sure hope so. Yeah. Well, going from in front of the White House to Congress, what in the world is going on here? Well, it was when the CEO of BP was going to testify in Congress. And matter of fact, I was in, I think Medea called me from DC and she said, do you know this CEO of BP is going to be testifying here? And so I went to DC and I was there two days, got arrested both days. And, and I was there when that picture was taken when Tony got up to, to speak. And I had been sitting outside since nearly two in the morning to be in line to get into that, into that hearing room. And I did. And the minute he got up, that's when I stood up. Off you went. And then here's another, picture it. You seem to like these police there in every picture with you. They do. You know, and the funny thing about that one is you see that court of black stuff, I put that through their security straight down and it just sailed right through. They didn't say a word about that. Well, and they didn't know what it was. So they were kind of afraid to touch you. They were, they were very afraid. But, but you know what was interesting when I went, they took me to jail. Everybody in that police room started clapping. Really? Because they knew it was about BP and what had happened to the Gulf. And I had so many of the police that were, were very sympathetic was what I was doing. Wonderful. Well, you know, the over time, the police that were so kind of mean and rude to us in the early days of the Iraq war, as their kids kept coming back from the war. And they started talking about to their parents about, you know, why are we over there? And the police started being a lot more sympathetic with our protests about that war. They sure did. Well, now here you are down in Texas and tell us what, what's, what was going on with this? You and the. Yeah, yeah, I'm, we, I, I got workers that started working with me. They would, you know, because down here, no unions and, and agencies don't work and politicians are bought off. And it was a do nothing agents, federal and state. And, and all of these pellets were showing up and the workers were coming and telling me about it. So I got workers from the plant and we would go looking for these pellets because nobody else would do anything. And, and eventually I found out that, that for most I had 10 stormwater outfalls. And that's where you, you see that kind of wire gauge stuff back there. That's the direction of the plant and that's the direction the water comes and there is pellets and powder like crazy. And so I eventually learned where they were and I would get the kayak and I'd go right up to them. And that's what I was doing. I was looking for pellets and that was before as we were filing suit and we collected over 2500 samples. Yep, that's it. There was a lot of them. There were a lot of pellets. I think the one place I was at, I think over a two year period there was like, what was it, 67 billion pellets. It was a lot. Oh my God. Well, and then, then what happened? You found all the pellets, you sued them in court. What happened? Yeah, we got this. So we had injured workers, ones that had been harassed by the by the company and had been fired because they were kind of speaking out. So we went to court and we had the lawyers was the Texas Real Grand Legal Aid, which is one of the best legal aid. They're just legal aid and they did it for free and they do it for poor people who can't afford anything. They normally do for migrant workers down in the valley and they took on our case and, you know, and I mean, we had the evidence. I know we had one of the big lawyers out of corpus. He said it was the immense evidence. And we did, we had bins that we put on a goat cart and hauled it into Victoria and hauled it through their little security stuff and and they were astonished by the amount of evidence and we had a good legal team and and we had a great judge and he listened to us and I was not used to people actually listening to us and seeing us and and and then the judge ruled that they were, they were, you know, that they were guilty. They had, you know, like 2000 violations and they said they were a serial polluter and their violations were enormous and they said the state of Texas obviously didn't know how to enforce or they didn't want to enforce and and right after that, Formosa was ready to settle. They, they was serious. I think they thought the judge was going to find them 200 billion dollars. So, so they were, you know, they wanted to settle and, you know, and my bottom line was they were going to give us 50 million dollars and we were going to go zero discharge and they did. They just very quietly wrote it down and it was amazing. Well, so did you get the 50 million? Oh, no, no, no, we make it very clear every single penny went to environmental projects in Calhoun County and probably for me, the best one, we put 20 million dollars into a sustainable fishery co-op for the fishermen who have who have about lost everything and they're going, there's no fish houses anymore. There's no place to dock their boats. There's no place to get fuel or sell their shrimp, you know?  So I'm very, very pleased with this. Was that co-op out of Georgia or out of Louisiana? Georgia. It's about 40 or 50 years old and it was usually black farmers that they were helping farm co-ops into exist and they had mainly worked with them and they had worked with some co-ops in Louisiana and so we, they had a great reputation so we brought them down and they've been working with the fishermen. Wonderful, wow, that is great. Well, here's a picture with a little more evidence. Yeah, that's before I packed them for the, for I packed them off and sent them to court. Are you still filing these pellets? Oh yeah, yeah, we're, believe it or not, we, we collected from January 2016 to February, March not 2019, which was the court date, took four days for the court and then immediately started still checking and collecting pellets and we have been collecting ever since. So it's still polluting? Well, yeah, because, because you, you try to, a plant that has failures that is causing the pellets to go out and the powder to go out, you, as a part of our, our settlement is like they have to find out what's wrong and how to fix it, you know, like, whether it's stormwater systems or the units and, you know, all of these different source control and all of this, but then a lot of the problem is, is that, yeah, you kind of know now, but it's like how do you fix it? But at least we have, we have a monitor and we, an independent monitor and every time, for most of violates our standard of zero discharge, they get a penalty and we put it in the, our little matagorda trust and we fund environmental projects. Wow. Yeah. Well, congratulations. That is a stunning, stunning success that you all worked hard to get and, and by golly, you got it. That is great. They called us crazy the whole time. Crazy good. Thank goodness. Well, now tell us what, what's going on now? You're on another hunger strike. Well, the thing that is, is here you fight all of these years with Formosa to clean up the plastic pollution, which by the way picks up, if there's contaminants in the Bay, it picks them up like there's a Superfund, there's mercury and it picks up the mercury and can you imagine these little pellets for the burns and for the fish that eat them and they're transferring the mercury all over the place. And so anyway, we, we've got 20 million to invest in this matagorda Bay co-op and they're just now getting, looking at buying docks and fish houses and right at the very moment they're trying to do that. You have a pipeline guy, Max Midstream, I've never heard of the guy before, and he wants to put in a oil export. There used to be a ban on oil exports because it's being exported out, you know, it's crude oil from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shell. And so, you know, he wants a deeper and wider ship channel so he can get the really Supermax ships in to make more money. And so he is willing to pay the, to have it dredged. He's got a foreign funder to pay $360 million to dredge it and it's got mercury. It's going to resuspended methyl and mercury, which causes deformities in children. And, you know, and then it's going to cover up maybe over a thousand acres of oyster reefs. And here we are just trying to revive the communities. I mean, these, these fishing communities are literally, they're dead. You know, you go through SeaDrip, all five fish houses are gone. They're bulldozed. Every store is shut down and got boards up against it.  And this is all home family, fishermen, like family farmers. They're the same type of people. They go out in the evening and back in and it's very family orientated. And here he wants to just come in and dredge it, bring in an oil export and everybody just seems to go deaf about. And the thing that is they are what they, they wanted to expedite it, you know, they kept saying it's a deadline. It's a deadline. And it's like, well, it's a self-imposed deadline because they want to get that thing moving as fast as they can. And so. Now, what is the APA said about this? Don't they have to do an environmental impact statement or something? Well, it's the core of engineers. They did an EIS and they actually had three sentences about the mercury, you know, three sentences. And I know I was, I was, I was listening to the core was coming down and is telling where they were, they were going to, they wanted to put it out in the bay, open an open disposal, meaning, you know, they dredge it and blow it out. Oh yeah. And it would, it would cover up all of these natural, uh, uh, values and all of these natural endless to these matter of fact, they just bought the, uh, Powderhorn Lake and it's beautiful and it's got lagoons and it's got all these places you can go and all this and I guarantee you, they start blowing that sediment down there contaminate with sediment, I mean, contaminate with mercury and it's going to close it up, cover it with sediment. It's terrible. It's terrible. So I'm, I'm like, uh, they're not going to do it. They're, they're not. And it's like, what do I do when I got no money and no support and nobody likes it? It's like, well, I'll do a hunger strike. So there you are. There I am. Day number, day number 11 now. Is that 11? Yeah. Now, have you had visitors, uh, support, uh, a few visitors coming out to see? I have. I really, really have, uh, I've had, uh, people from, from the county that have showed up. I have had, uh, I've had, uh, uh, oil guys too. You know, I'm used to seeing a bunch of petrochemical workers, but now I'm tending to see oil guys and they tend to throw curses from the highway and a few come by and video me and, uh, and I actually had one, one guy, an oil guy and he was, uh, I think he was on the verge of being a whistleblower and he said he had been collecting all spills locally for five years and he, he wouldn't got his phone and he was just flipping through all of these phones. I mean, of all these pictures and he said, well, his biggest cover up was 4,000, uh, barrels. He, they, they covered up 4,000 barrels of contaminated soil and sediment and oil and, uh, some terrible stories, but, but, uh, a really good, uh, uh, uh, visit was from, uh, Juan Perez and he's with the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council. It's hard to say. Our own Juan Perez, uh, yes, yes, yes. And he said, he wanted to know what our concerns were and I told him that we, what our concerns were and that we were writing a letter to Biden and asked him to stop it. And, uh, he said, well, when you send that letter to Biden, send it, put, send it to us too. It will be the first letter on our desk. So, well, is he working in Washington now? Uh, right now he said he's doing a lot of conference calling. Uh-huh. But he's, yeah, I don't, I don't know if he's going to be up there or if it's, I don't, I don't know how they do it, but I know he's, he was appointed. Wow. Yeah. I was very, very impressed. Tell us, uh, what organization in Houston that he worked with? Oh, he's with Tejas. And before he was with Tejas, he was a really good buddy with Cesar Chavez.  And believe it or not, you know, for a while, I had a group of injured workers and I still think that's a good idea actually. I've been trying to get someone to get interested in it, but he, he had, uh, I thought I was the first Texas injured workers group, but actually, uh, Juan had. And, uh, so, so we both got an interest in the workers and the labor force and I'm sorry. He was working a lot for what, about all the oil refineries that are, that are along the Houston ship channel. Oh my God. Yeah. He's with Tejas and he even takes groups on, uh, well he lives in around Manchester, which is, I mean, it's right there.  So he and Brian have been doing that for a very, very long time. And I'm, and I'm sure his long history is, is, uh, got him, got him that appointment. And I think it's great. It's great. Wonderful. That is really great to, to know somebody that's on a White House appointed committee. So can we, uh, can we join with you as you write to him and. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Because we were, uh, when we're writing the letter, we were looking for, uh, people that wanted to, people in groups that wanted to sign on to the letter and lovely. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. That, okay. Uh, then that's, uh, that's what we want to do. All of us, um, some, Ellen finally has written to say, I have something on my screen that's now being shared. So there we go. Sorry. So now tell us, uh, besides Juan and the White House, um, uh, committee, what are the other organizations that, uh, that you're working with in order to build a mobilization for trying to get this dredging stopped? Well, well, I know, uh, just for, I've had at least two phone calls when, um, you know, when, when you get on hunger strike, people get very, uh, uh, concerned and they really, they really want to do something. So I've been on at least two phone calls and there were about five different lawyers. And, uh, like some of them are from earth justice, earthworks, uh, there was healthy gulf. I think, uh, they've asked, uh, the, uh, water alliance to join. There is, um, um, trying to think right off the top of my head, Sierra club, Sierra club. Yes. Yes. And, and so, and then, and then there's a lot. So there's, there's a group that is working on the letter to Biden and also the, uh, you know, the illegal angle to, to stop it some way to legally, if there's a legal angle on it, but we're trying to stop the dredging and stop the, uh, oil exports. And you know, and there's eight on the Texas Gulf coast. So, you know, we're hoping he will, Biden will reinstate a ban, but, uh, I, I do know like a number of the, uh, groups are there, they have put together this flotilla, uh, action that we're going to do. I think the whole gulf is going to be a week of actions. And one of them on the 23rd through 25th, we, I think a camp out at Magnolia beach and food and good stuff. And then on, uh, bright and early Sunday morning, we're going to launch the kayaks. Oh boy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Careful. Oh, that's great. That's, that sounds wonderful. And are there some ships out there that you can actually block up right now? No, no, not yet, but it's kind of like a forewarning. If they, you know, for me, it's solidarity, but it's also, you know, a kind of shot over the bow and it's like, this is kind of a show. So they kind of know that they start trying to bring in dredges.  Uh huh. Well, well, I'll tell you that. So if anybody's down in the, the Texas Gulf Coast, they can help you, well, you're not going to be on this hunger strike forever, I hope. Are you, but well, when we stop it, well, yes, that's right. When we stop it, but we want, we want you around for, you know, another couple of understrike missions, I guess. But so people can, can write. They can, if they're in South Texas, they can come out to the flotilla. They can come by in solidarity. Sure. I'm always there. Can't miss my track. Yeah. It's red. It's red. It's really red. Indeed. Indeed. Well, we are so thrilled to have this opportunity to, to talk with you, to catch up with you, to find out what you're doing. And the latest very important cause that you're bringing to our attention, because without you're doing this, none of us would have realized that that big dredging operation could be taking place very, very soon. That's true. Very, very shortly. Yeah. So I appreciate it more that I can tell you that you lovely code peak vets for peace are doing this. I really appreciate this. Well, we appreciate your, your courage and your creativity and your relentlessness. I mean, taking, never taking no for an answer. And that's right. That's a way to, to come on strong and mobilize people. So any other ideas that you have of things that others of us ought to be doing in our own communities? Well, I think I truly believe everybody, there is something in their community. There is something that they can do. And I think for, for the, for the good of all mankind, I believe each and every one, there is something, one step we can take.   It really did. And it made me a very happy person. Well, we are happy with you. And before we go, if I think if Mary can help us, if people have a question, I think we can let you speak. And there's Mary. Hi, Mary. Thank you so much for everything. And Max is there also. If anybody has a question, raise your hand or just want to come on and say hello to Diane because I, you know, most everybody that's on here. And I'm sure they all want to say hello. Let's see. How about, how about highlight? Well, just gave Peter Bella the, the clearance to speak. Okay. Peter, go ahead. Does that work for y'all? Can you hear me? Yeah, good. Okay. I see that I see that I can. Yeah, I was very interested in some of the activities. And I don't know who to contact or for instance, Flotilla, how to get involved with that. And in general, if there's a way to find out from San Antonio where I am more about your hunger strike, sort of follow with and follow on, how can we do that? Well, there's a Facebook page. And I think it says, hunger strike to stop the dredge and stop oil exports. And so, so you can go there.  And I do know the action, I think, Ann, is the link to that kayak action there? Yeah, let me, let me pull it up right now and I can put it in the chat. Yeah, just check it out and come down. And like I said, lovely Magnolia Beach and a lot of good people, you'd love the people down here. That sounds good. Thank you. I am going for my second COVID shot on Monday, so I'll try to get down as quick as I can. Oh, that'll be super, super, super. Thank you. And I forgot to mention the Society of Native Nations have been extremely supportive down here. We've gotten a lot of support from them. Is that the folks here that are in San Antonio that you're thinking of? Yeah, great. Thank you. And keep up the great work. Oh, thank you. And see you in a kayak. I'm going to put the link into the chat right now. How about some other people that might want to say hello to Diane? Oh, I know there are plenty. Don't be bashful. How about this, how about, Medea, are you near your, your... It's Ty. He finds the best bicycle locks.  Yeah. Diane says, she goes, I want the most expensive bike lock you can find. Made $150 for this bike lock. She went, she went locked her neck. We all distracted the secret service. She, she locked her neck to the White House fence. It took them four hours to get. They had to bring out three fire trucks and all kinds of, they completely coded her with Romax, which is like non flammable.   That is right. I even had a lady recently asked me, she wanted to chain herself. And I said, get one of those. What was that, tungsten? Is that what it was? Yeah. It was like some German. Oh, yes. They're the best. They'll have a heck of a time getting that off you. Yeah. And it was Ty who went all over Washington looking for that.  But that ledge on the wall is kind of slippery and kind of angled. Man, it's dangerous putting your neck up there. Boy. And, but Diane, she was all into it. It was a great action. I really liked it. Ty also knows how to get those bicycle locks into the congressional office building. Oh, wow. He just goes right on through security with them. It's amazing what you can get that through that security. I have been amazed about that. So how about, is it, Mary, is it possible that we can let the video for anybody that wants to be on? Can we just tap video so everyone can see who is here or is that possible with the webinar? It's not possible to show everyone's video. I'm sorry. Okay. Well, how about other people that would like to make a comment? Many of you have been involved in these crazy things that we, we've worked on. I know, I'm just gonna say one thing. Can you hear me? It's Tyra. Hey, Derek. Yeah. Yeah. I know whatever Diane or you and are on an action that I'm, I'm involved in, I feel good. I feel totally good. Yeah. He's one of the best fasters out there. I guarantee you. Solidarity. Solidarity with you, my brother. Yeah. Well, my moment of fame was when I joined Elliott in pushing you over the fence. That was a great one. We have a picture. Very true. But I wanted to say that we're going live with the website soon that I told you about. And also on the story is all the information about what people can do. Oh, that's super. I appreciate it. That's very good. And the other thing I would like is I would like to put a recording of this webinar on the website. So I hope and we'll send it to us or somebody will send it to us. Yeah, we sure will. It's on YouTube. And I think it's on Medea's Facebook. And then we'll have this recording. So yes, we can send it to everyone. Good deal. Okay, you guys are great. Diane, we just love you. I'll wrestle. I'll wrestle you. Okay. We gotta have that arm wrestle. He's afraid I'll wrestle even win. That's why he wants to do it while you're on hunger strike. He's scared. He's scared. That's the only thing I'm scared of. Hey, it's Medea. I just want to send my love to Diane. I want to say how grateful I am that you are once again putting your body on the line. I knew it once and it was enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. You know, I always love those hunger strikes. I remember one time, I think it was at one of the rallies in D.C. And they wanted me to go up and speak. And Jody was there and she whispered, do not say you're going on a hunger strike. And I went up and said, let's go on a hunger strike. And we did. We went on another hunger strike. Yeah. Oh boy. But sometimes you gotta tell everybody how you break these hunger strikes. The last time I broke it with the Mexican food is what I did. I remember the fried chicken with Anne. Oh yeah, it was Anne. With Anne it was definitely chicken. Chicken, yeah. But the one going over the White Owls fence, it was Mexican food. Yeah, it was great. Well, Anne Wilcox is just in the chat saying that hi to everyone. And then Pat Elder is working on military poisons in Maryland and he's listening. And he's really done a lot of work on poisons in our water supplies from the military. Good deal. Good deal. That's one of the worst is the military. It sure is. It sure is. Okay. Anybody else want to say hello to Diane while we're here? And she's probably about to faint from lack of food. Can you hear me? Yes, Crystal. So Pocky and I are driving across the country in June and we're talking about come on down. Come on down. Yep. I'll show you a time. I know you will. Okay. I love to have you. Yeah, I love you too. Bye-bye. That's great, Crystal. Another one of Crystal's road trips. Yeah. Watch out for those Pocky and I think Tygo is involved in going up to Standing Rock. And so when Crystal's on the move, we watch them. Let's see. Connie wants to speak, but apparently she has an older version of Zoom. Let's see.  Yes. Yes. Yes. Eventually all of this. Well, the thing is, let's say the Iran's wildlife is around San Antonio Bay. This one will destroy the Powder Horn Reserve. This is a brand new one. It was a big to-do about all of these beautiful wetlands and marshes and places to kayak and the red fish and all kinds of things. And it's, you know, I think it was bought maybe two years ago and set up. And it would. It will totally close it off and smother it. And like I said, about a thousand acres of oyster reefs, you know, and there goes the livelihood of the fishermen. Wow. Connie says, hello from all your friends and admirers in Maine. Well, love you out there. Indeed. Well, we definitely want to urge everyone to keep in touch. Code Pink, thank you all very much. Code Pink, Mary and Maxine and Jody and Medea and everyone for putting up a lot of material on the Code Pink website. And we'll continue to populate that with more and more information. So we really, really thank everyone. And Mary, thank you and Maxine for being on to help us navigate this. And Diane, we will bid farewell and let you get to not having a good dinner. Yeah, I'll probably go to bed. Seriously, I'll probably go to bed. Yeah. Well, you take care of yourself. And I'll just mention that your daughter's concerned about you. Your daughter lets us know. Like, why are you letting my mom do that again? Why can't you stop her?  Can you stop her? No. We're friends and we don't have much luck stopping her either. I know. Those kids, they should know by now. Well, they do. And I know they deep in their heart, they are so, I mean, they're very proud of you. But everybody, of course, is very concerned about your health. And at any point, you know, you've made, you've made your point, that's for sure. It's up to us now. We've got the point and we come in to help with this. And we pledge that we will do that. And I'm most grateful. I really, really am. Okay. Well, thanks so much. And you take care. Peace. Peace out. Peace out. Okay. Thanks to everyone for being with us. Thank you.


What is going on everybody? It's Stas here. Welcome back to another video. So in this video, we're going to be doing an overall market update looking at the Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. We're going to be talking about a couple of stocks that I'm currently holding right now, what I'm trading as of the 28th of February and 2019, as well as taking a look at some other stocks and ETFs that I personally like and see potential in heading into the March month. Really, tomorrow here in the trading week, starting off March, what am I personally watching? So for everybody out there that finds value in these videos, you enjoy the content here on YouTube, feel free to hit that like button. Of course, if you're new and I do earn your subscription, feel free to subscribe as well. I do appreciate every single one of you out there that watches these videos on a day-to-day basis. Even if you stop in once a week and watch the videos, I appreciate you all so much because without you, none of this stuff here on YouTube would be possible. So let's talk about what went down today in the overall market, starting off with the SPX here, the S&P 500, the 500 largest publicly traded US companies. We can see we ended up closing the day today down about $8, down about 0.28%, nearly 0.3% of a red day here on the S&P 500. The Dow Jones down about $70 on the day, down around the same as the SPX, down about 0.27%. And the NASDAQ Composite guys up about $7.75 on the day, up around 0.1%, holding that $7100 level pretty nicely at the close of the market. So overall today, guys, judging off the indices, not much crazy movement. It was another kind of boring day in the overall stock market, but there were a couple of stocks that did very well that we're going to be talking about here in about 5, 10 minutes. So stay tuned. Later on in this video, we're going to be talking about those couple of stocks. But in terms of the major indices, not much movement, not too exciting, not too great of a day. But judging off of these technicals guys, we do get a story from the SPX right here and of course from the Dow and the NASDAQ that we're going to be talking about here in a couple of minutes. But starting off with the SPX, we can see we're having trouble getting out of that 2790 resistance from back in the beginning of December where we plummeted all the way down to about 2330. And obviously since then, we climbed all the way back out to that resistance where we're struggling to get out of right now. And for those of you guys that were watching the SPX over the past week and a half or so and you guys have been paying attention to these videos, you know we actually got rejected by the second resistance here from back in the beginning of November at about 2815. I believe this was about like five days ago or something like that. We got up to 2815. It was looking like we were trading between the old resistance which at this point was a new support and this resistance up here. But over the past couple of days, the three days in general, we've been making lower lows pushing down in the overall SPX and pushing beneath that 2790 support closing the day today at about 2785. And if I show you guys here on a closer time frame, we can see starting on the 26th of February, we've been making lower lows each closing day. We can see we closed at about 2795 on this day. The next day, we closed at about 2790. And the day that just closed today, about an hour and 45 minutes ago, we ended up closing at about 2785. So the closing prices over the past one, two and three days have been continuously decreasing. So that really means that on a shorter term basis here, the SPX is falling in price. But what are we seeing on this longer term chart here, the 30 day 90 minute, we're noticing that due to the markets falling from about 2815 down to about 2785, we noticed that we're at the bottom of this channel now on this 30 day 90 minute chart where this has bounced, the candle sticks, the SPX has bounced on the levels we are currently at based off this trend line and the 50 simple moving average, a couple of times in the past, we can see it once here twice, three times, you can count this four times, five times. And now we're testing it again for the sixth time. So what am I personally watching tomorrow? And what you guys should honestly be watching as well, if you do do analysis on the overall markets, including the S&P 500, which I assume you all do since it is the most important index out there for the US markets, you should be watching on whether or not we're going to end up breaking out of this downward, not downward, this support right here on the trend line as well as the 50 SMA. Because let me tell you, if we break to the bottom here, that's going to be a huge downside pattern. There could be much more downwards, you know, momentum, you know, to the downside, if we do end up breaking this key technical spot to the downside, right? But let's say tomorrow we do see some green, we do end up breaking back into the 2790 level, we break this resistance, that could be a sign that we're continuing the uptrend pattern. And from there, we could potentially be testing 2800, 2810, and of course, this 2815 resistance that we do see from back in the beginning of November. So based on the SPX guys, not much change from yesterday's session, we're only down about $7, but we're at a very, very critical spot where if we do break here, again, that could be a downwards move, we could be headed to the 50 SMA on the 184 hour chart. If we do end up breaking that key technical spot tomorrow, but of course, if we end up holding, breaking that 2900 level, or not $2900 level, 2790 level, we could be headed back up for some more green in the overall market.  The Dow Jones today, very similar to the SPX over the past couple of days, we pushed up, and we got rejected by resistance a couple of months back, same resistance as the SPX. Well, it kind of correlates the same because the beginning of November is when we popped up in the SPX, and that really is when we popped up in the Dow Jones as well. You can see it right here at about $26,250. And that is where we pushed up on the 25th of, what is it, February a couple days ago. And from there, we got rejected, obviously we can see, and now we're holding this older resistance from the beginning of December as a new support level. So in terms of the Dow Jones, guys, what am I going to be watching for more potential downside or more potential upside is whether or not we're going to end up holding this support tomorrow, really right where we are right now at about $25,850, $25,900. And if we take a look a bit closer here on the 30-day 90-minute chart, we can extend this channel drawing a bit so we can see where we could potentially be bouncing for more upside action or where we could potentially be breaking for more downside action. So just like the SPX, we are right at that channel support on this 30-day 90-minute chart on the Dow Jones right around $25,900. So keep an eye for the break on the downside. This is going to be a very, very big move, you know, downwards, breaking pattern for the Dow Jones. And of course, if we do end up pushing tomorrow to the upside, this could just be one sign that we're headed back and continuing this uptrend pattern that we do see here on this 30-day 90-minute chart. So very simple, guys, nothing too crazy, right? Nothing too crazy whatsoever. Just keep an eye on those levels. Very, very important, you know, when deciding on what you're going to be trading for that day, right? Obviously, if the markets are pushing heavily to the red side on a specific day, that means that a lot of the stocks that comprise that index, comprise that market, they're doing bad as well and you won't want to trade them, right? But obviously, if the markets are doing well, you might want to hop into some of these stocks that are causing the market to do very well, if that makes any sense, right? So that's what the Dow Jones is looking like, again, nothing too crazy. The NASDAQ composite here, we've been struggling to get above the 7,130 level, 7,150 level. For those of you guys that have been following the NASDAQ and especially this channel over the past couple of weeks, we've been talking about this because literally, guys, if we can see on this 10-day 30-minute chart, we can see there has been a top here, a top here, pretty much a top here and it's looking like we topped again. That's four separate resistances, right? That's four separate failures, pretty much, of getting above that resistance. So that just goes to show how hard of a resistance this is for the NASDAQ. And of course, the tech stocks selling off like Apple, Facebook, I'm sure, actually, you probably can't see them because my face is there, but Apple's down about $1.75 today. Facebook's down about $1.40. Amazon down about $1.25. Netflix down about $5. These tech stocks, they have a heavy weight on the NASDAQ. And the fact that they're doing poorly, that's not going to really be a good thing for the NASDAQ composite here. So what am I watching on a technical basis in terms of the NASDAQ? Very simple, guys. I'm waiting to see, are we going to break out of this $71.30 resistance, treat it as a new support to then start to fill back up to this next resistance, which is going to be at about $7,225. So very simple, guys. We've been talking about how the NASDAQ is more towards the bottom of this channel that is still valid. We can see it here based off of these channel trend lines. And if we take a bit of a closer look, we can see it even better. Let's say we do end up bouncing here tomorrow. Let's say we don't break to the downside. We do not see downwards push. We end up popping up. I think, I honestly think, we'll be able to plow through this resistance over these next couple of days on a technical basis. Excuse me. And we'll be headed back up, excuse me again, to about the $7,200 level. We'll be able to test this next resistance at that point. But of course, until we see that break, until we see that, we really can't say anything about the NASDAQ pushing to the upside because we haven't really seen a confirming strong push to the upside, guys. We've been struggling four tops here, literally one, two, three, four. We need to see that break up for us to continue this uptrending pattern. So in terms of the overall markets, guys, like I've been saying every single video, it seems like we are at very, very critical spots right now. We are at support levels. If we have another couple of red days, we're going to be out of this uptrending pattern. Finally, we're going to be pushing down and the bears are slowly, slowly going to start creeping out. So that is what the overall markets are looking like. Let's talk about what I'm personally trading as of right now. In terms of my day trading today, no day trading for me today on the 28th of February, but I did end up buying some Coca Cola stock yesterday for those of you guys that watched my video yesterday. And this morning as well, I actually mentioned it in this morning's video for those of you guys that didn't watch this morning's video, go check it out. And I am actually thinking about doing more morning videos for those of you guys that want to see what I'm personally trading for the upcoming day, right that morning. So let me know down below if you guys would like to see some more morning videos. I would love to start making more of those if there is some demand in those videos. But anyway, I said I was trading Coca Cola stock this morning. In yesterday's video, I mentioned how I was thinking about taking a position before the market closed. And that's actually exactly what I ended up doing in terms of Coca Cola stock. So why I wanted to trade this one originally, and when I plan on adding more money, let's go over that right now. So for those of you guys that didn't catch yesterday's video, the brief analysis on Coca Cola here is that I'm trading it because A, we have a dividend coming up in a couple of days here in about two weeks actually, and that dividend is going to pay out 40 cents. We can see that here. The annual dividend for Coca Cola, I believe is around 3.5%. That's going to be about a 0.8%, 0.9% dividend. So right off the bat, what that means guys, if I put in $10,000, I'm going to be getting nearly 1%, which is a guaranteed 100% return. Not 100%, I wish guys, $100 return on the money. And I got in, that's one of the factors why I got in. Another reason why is because we were holding the support at about $44.50 to $45 for a couple of days here, and we were actually making some ground to the upside. So that's one of the reasons we held the support from back in the end of August 2018, back in the beginning of October in 2018. And now, why I want to add more money into Coca Cola, or rather when I'm going to add more money, is when we break above $46. So I'm currently in at about $45. I literally got in at the market close yesterday, no lie, at about $45 roughly right around here I got in. And now I want to see a break out of the $46 range, which is going to be putting us out of this 50 SMA resistance. And what do we notice right now, guys, in terms of Coca Cola? Well, we're seeing some resistance at this 50 SMA, which is a little bit worrisome for me to add more money right now, which is why I want to see the full-on break out of this resistance, out of this $46 level, before me adding more money, because that's going to break out of this one resistance and the next resistance. So that's two breaks of resistances there, which is a very good sign that we're heading back up in terms of Coca Cola stock. And another interesting thing about Coca Cola stock, guys, a lot of people view this, it really is a defensive stock, meaning whenever growth stocks are starting to fall into shambles, like we saw back in October, we can literally see it here, a lot of people start flooding their money into quote-unquote safer stocks, value stocks, Coca Cola being one of those stocks. And what do we see? Back in the beginning of October here, Coca Cola was at the same support that we are right now. And we ended up soaring up nearly 10%, 12% in the stock's price as the overall markets were getting crushed, guys. Remember, October to the end of December was an absolute bloodbath in the stock market. We were down about 16%, 20%, raging across the three major indices. And what were people doing, guys? They were selling, they were selling, they were selling their growth stocks, panicking, panicking, panicking and flooding their money into companies like Coca Cola. Another one, for example, McDonald's, I'm pretty sure this one did very well as well, right? You can see it here. This is a real-life example, beginning of October from 163 up to $190 from the beginning of December. Even McDonald's gave a little bit in December, but still from 163, we ended up closing up $10 from the beginning of October to the end of December where most of the stocks in the stock market were getting crushed, right? Another one I think did pretty well was probably Procter and Gamble, right? These are all considered defensive stocks. You can see all of these have been doing very well when the stock market has been falling. So does this mean that I think the stock market is going to fall since I am buying in right now? That doesn't necessarily mean that at all. But since markets are pretty high right now, I feel comfortable putting some money into a defensive stock here like Coca Cola and holding it while we are high in the market, because we've been talking about how the markets are up nearly 20% in 2019 alone. And I do expect if we pull back significantly right, who knows, guys? We could pull back 5%, 10% in the next month and a half, two months. Coca Cola will probably do very well. Once stocks start to sell off, we get a little bit more panicky in the markets. If that does end up happening, not saying it's going to happen 100%, Coca Cola could end up doing very well. But again, do your own research, please, guys. Do not buy this off of my opinion alone. That is not how you're going to become successful at all when it comes to trading and investing in the stock market. So that's pretty much the synopsis on my Coca Cola trade I'm in right now. $45. I want to get this dividend. I want to add more on the break above 46. Let's say it doesn't go my way. I do have a stop loss set about 1%, 2% below where we currently are right now. And I'm scaled in with about 15%, 20% on my goal position this way. If the stock doesn't go my way, I lose 2% on a smaller position rather than me jumping in with a full 100% position right off the bat. I would lose more dollar value if I do have to cut losses in that situation, which is why I always preach when it comes to swing trading. You must, well, you should. Don't do it 100% based off my opinion. Scale into your positions.  So that's Coca Cola, guys. Very quick synopsis there. Another one that I'm currently still holding is Johnson & Johnson, guys. I'm up a very small amount on this position. I got in about 10, 14 days ago at this point. It was like last trading week, I believe, or the week before. I forget, but I'm in Coca Cola and Johnson & Johnson right now. I'm up about 1%, not even on Johnson & Johnson, planning on holding this one as long as it's continuing the uptrend pattern as it currently is. And I plan on selling at this resistance right here at about $140. And this is a longer-term swing trade, guys. This is probably going to stem about a month, month and a half, maybe even two months, however long it takes to get back up here and if it does get back up there. And once I am in the profit, guys, heavily, now I'm going to set a trailing stop loss to protect my gains.  Very important to put that in place, especially if you're not active at your computer, guys, and especially to protect your gains, because once you're in the profit, you want to stay that way. You don't want to have the stock go up 3%, you're in the 3% profit, then all of a sudden it falls back down and hits your stop loss and you end up losing your money when you could have taken a little bit of gain if you had a trailing stop loss set in the first place. So that's a quick little trading update, guys. I didn't day trade today because honestly, I didn't see many opportunities out there, and I did miss out on some stocks that we're going to be talking about right now, which were day tradable, but again, I missed out, kind of mad at myself, because I did call out two of these stocks, but hey, stuff happens, guys, stuff happens, you can't catch everything, and I always preach, don't be too greedy, don't try to catch every trade because you're going to get bit in the butt. So while we're at it, let's talk about some stocks I did very well today and that I see potential in over these next couple of days slash weeks before we do end off this video. So the first one, guys, I'm sure you knew I was going to talk about this one today was Square ticker symbol SQ, and they reported their earnings right now. Today, I believe, pre-market hours, whatever, I don't really know exactly, but they reported their earnings short story, they tanked on their earnings report. And if we take a look here on live news, we can see Square sees Q1 adjustment earnings, EPS $0.06 per share versus 0.11 estimated adjusted sales $472 million versus $470 million estimated sees EPS, okay, okay, okay. So all in all, guys, their earners report based off what I see right here, it wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad. But the stock, again, I'm not really an investor in Square, I don't look too deep into Square stock, but I do trade it once in a while based off of the technicals. And we can see based off their earnings report, the stock went down pretty heavily today, guys, from about 70. Oh, it looks like they reported yesterday aftermarket hours. So from $81 yesterday closing price, it went down to $73, and we ended up filling that entire gap, guys, the entire gap back up to $83 today, which is absolutely amazing. That's literally like a 12% move. And again, this is the stock that I called out, did not end up getting in on this action. I'm pissed at myself, I put a day trader this one. But again, I'm not getting too greedy here. And it's okay if you miss plays once in a while, you're not going to end up catching every single move. But to get into it, guys, on why I see potential in this over the next couple of days, well, what do we see we're doing here in terms of Square stock, we can see we popped up here to $83 on Square stock, like I said, and now we're pulling back into the market close and aftermarket hours here, and we're holding this old resistance as a new support. So very simple, what I'm looking to see happen in terms of Square stock over these next couple of days, as I want to see it hold this $81 level and slowly start to push back up to about $83 for that gap fill. And the beautiful thing about it guys is that we already pushed up to $83. And now we pulled back opening up that margin of profit. So tomorrow, we're going to see are we going to hold this support here at about $81? Excuse me, and are we going to slowly start to fill back up? That is what I'm watching in terms of Square stock, ticker symbol SQ, very interested in playing this one. And guys, it's looking good, looking good on a technical basis right now. So Square stock, very, very solid there. Another one that I'm watching, which one was it guys off top of my head was ticker symbol LUV, this one is South Air, what's it called Southwest Airlines. This another one that I called out did not end up getting in this one. But I know some of the group members in the Discord chat ended up trading this one today, which really offered a ton, a ton of margin here, we can see it's up about 4.07% on the day. And while we were watching this one in the beginning guys, well, we saw it was holding a couple of days ago when I ended up making this video and this call out, we were holding about $54 old resistance as a new support, ended up popping above it today guys, we broke out of this other resistance at about $55. And now what I'm watching to see guys is for us to pull back a bit and hold $55 as a new support before we slowly start to fill the gap back up to about $57, which would be the next resistance. So from $55, if we do end up pulling back a bit, which we are looking like, could potentially happen due to it being a bit overbought right now on this 184-hour chart, we could potentially get, let's see how much gain that is, about a 4% profit from about $55 back up to $57. And of course, if we continue the uptrend, we break out of that resistance from there back up to $58.50, from $55, that's probably going to be roughly a 6% margin of profit there. So LUV guys, very interesting big, big move today. Missed it, missed it, but still, I'm going to be watching it over these next couple of days to see if it pulls back so we can get a better entry point on ticker symbol LUV. So let's take a look at some other ETFs very quickly. In terms of stocks guys, KO, Coca-Cola, LUV, and Square are the three main ones that I'm currently watching right now to trade and to add more money into in terms of Coca-Cola. So let's say tomorrow we end up selling off more in the overall stock market. The SPX breaks that support we were talking about. I'm going to be looking to day trade TVIX. TVIX is an ETF that goes up whenever the markets are selling off specifically. The SPX is what it tracks very closely. And simply guys, the SPX breaks that support, it starts to push down, it forms a downward formation. TVIX is going to be in a position to do very well. If we can see over these past couple of days, every time the market ended up being a little bit funky, we sold off, TVIX did absolutely amazing, right? This one day in particular from two days literally went up 11%. This one day here from $34 up to about $37, that's again about a 10-12% move. We saw it a couple of days ago when the markets pulled back from 28-15 down to where we are roughly right now. Another 10% move in TVIX. So I'm going to be watching guys, if we sell off drastically tomorrow, this could be a huge, huge potential day trade that could offer up to 10%. We've seen this literally this ETF go up 25% back in the December 2018 days. And back in those two months guys, I know you guys remember that I've been following me for a while now. You remember I've been trading or I was trading rather TVIX on a day-to-day basis when we were selling off and it was fun. People were calling me the TVIX King. Pretty funny because I was literally trading this one nonstop. This is the only ETF that I was trading. But now the markets have been showing a little bit of upside push obviously which is why I've been forming or not forming, focusing rather more on swing trades over these past couple of weeks. But of course I've still been day trading which is why I'm still going to be watching these leverage ETFs like UWT and UGAS as day trades tomorrow and TVIX as well as TQQQ which is actually a market ETF that goes up when the markets are going up. So let's say tomorrow the markets end up popping up at the support we currently are at. TQQQ is going to be an ETF that does very very well because it tracks the overall market and it goes up when the markets are going up in price. So overall tomorrow guys, you know I'm going to be watching the three stocks we mentioned TQQQ TVIX as well as UWT to see if it's going to continue this uptrend pattern. It trades based upon crude oil we all know that by now. If we break above $16 guys this one in my opinion can slowly fill the gap back up to $1650 and even continue the uptrend if crude oil continues to push and especially if crude oil gets into the $58 range and breaks above this resistance right here at about $5750 to $58. So that's pretty much it for today's video. I hope you all enjoyed it. If you did feel free to hit that like button down below, subscribe if you're new and drop a comment. Let me know what did you end up trading today. I would love to know. So I'll catch you all in the next video. Again, I really appreciate everybody out there for watching. Have a great night. Peace out.


This pilot plan puts the U.S. and the rest of the non-Chinese world back on the scoreboard. Because what we have here is for the first time a new, much more efficient, more economic system of producing very high-purity technology materials, metals and materials. The reason the Chinese have dominated this field for so long is because they have the entire supply chain. And so we can quite frankly dig all the holes we want. It doesn't do any good because we can't process material. What this brings back to the market, American, domestic, whatever you want to call it, is the ability to be competitive. And so companies here, for example, that don't want to make products with technology, metals and materials because the only source is foreign, and typically China, and they can't get them except at the behest of the Chinese. Now they have an option, they have an alternative, and I guarantee you this is going to create a great deal of investment in high-tech because high-tech is based on technology, metals and materials, and that's what you're going to be producing. At the moment, there is no other place in the world outside of China that is capable of producing heavy wear-earth metals in high-purity form or mid-range metals for that matter, wear-earths. So you're adding value to the entire technology world outside of China.  It's actually a logical evolution, and it's a perfect evolution for a company like U-Core because what you've done is recognized what was missing and you've actually solved the problem. Probably there will be others doing this, but I don't see any on the immediate horizon, and I think that right now U-Core is basically the company to be in high-technology processing of technology materials, and I congratulate you because it is a wonderful achievement. What I perceive in your venture here is that you've become resource-agnostic. You're not tethered to any particular material. You can do the universe of chemical elements, which is wonderful. Now, the evolution of our civilization is towards technology, innovative technology. These are the current hot words in development, and this is exactly what the developed countries and markets are looking for. Exactly what you're doing is you're right on point, and I don't see how you can not be successful. In the resource world, we're all looking for U-Core now to prioritize this technology with regard to individual technology metals and materials. So I believe the next step is for you to select projects of immediate need and value and go after them and develop a worldwide network of resource suppliers to you for which you produce high-quality finished goods. If you ask me what in particular, well, I think you should start with rare earths because you have the most experience in that. But certainly in this era of clean tech and green technology, we're looking for lithium, we're looking for cobalt, i.e. battery materials. Quite frankly, we're looking to separate hafnium and zirconium for the future of energy production. And so there is a huge area that you can get into, and we're all looking forward to see where you start and how you develop. I know you've got your pilot plant in Utah. I'm sure that it won't be very long before there are these types of plants operated by your company around the world. Rare earth feedstock is quite frankly available from India, Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and North America, and Australia. In other words, the entire world, I'm leaving out China because they're not exporting any raw materials. But the material is available, and on top of that, people forget that in the last 30 years, millions of tons of rare earths have been produced. Where did they go? They didn't go inside of China. They went to the rest of the world, and quite frankly, millions of tons of rare earths are still in the rest of the world in the form of end-of-life materials, scrap as it's called, and that is a phenomenal resource for your company. Because there are thousands of tons of those materials available, there's no technology until now to recycle them. So I'm sure you've got that on your horizon. There's also a tremendous amount of tailings, of residues from existing mining and processing, which were not processed for these rare materials, and they're not just sitting there, but enough of them are sitting there to keep your 10 of your plants busy for the rest of your life. There are rare earths and residues in tin mining, there are rare earths and residues in uranium mining, there are rare earths and residues in phosphate mining, fertilizer mining. The amount of material already above ground and concentrated in a residue is mind-boggling. You could not possibly process all that material. The interesting thing is, at the moment, you're the only people that could process that material outside of China. So it's actually waiting for you.


let's say you have a compound for example copper chloride but you want the copper out of this the metal out of this what do you do well for this you can react this with a more reactive metal for example iron in this case now you might be wondering Ram how do I remember which metal is more reactive than the other well for this you will need a list of metals where they are ranked according to the reactivity from most reactive to the least reactive metals now in this video we are going to make this reactivity list and see how to use it and more importantly how to remember it so let's begin so to make this ranking list I'm going to react metals with the salts of other metals for example let's take the salt of copper copper sulfate and let's react this with iron now we notice over here that iron displaces or kicks out copper from its compound and finally forms iron sulfate instead now this means since iron was able to kick out copper that iron has to be more reactive than copper let's confirm this by doing the opposite reaction this time let's take the salt of iron iron sulfate and let's react this with copper now in this case you would notice that no reaction happens this does not go forward now this means that copper is not able to displace or kick out iron from its compound this definitely proves that copper is less reactive than iron now let's look at one more example to solidify our understanding here this time I am reacting zinc with the salt of copper copper sulfate and this time I noticed that zinc also displaces copper and forms zinc sulfate so here I would say that zinc is more reactive than copper so technically we are carrying out displacement reactions and we are seeing that a more reactive metal is able to displace a less reactive one from its compound so you can do this with different different groups of metal for example over here you can do the same reactions between iron and zinc and figure out which one is more reactive and by doing so we will be able to rank all the metals according to their reactivity so we have already done the hard work and we have ranked few of the metals according to their reactivity so over here the metals on top are more reactive than the metals on the bottom for example if you take magnesium magnesium is going to be more reactive than aluminium or iron or hydrogen copper but since magnesium is below calcium and sodium it is going to be less reactive in comparison to them so this is how you read this particular list now let's see how to use them for example if you're given with a problem hydrogen reacts with MgCl2 what are the products that are going to be formed in this reaction so see hydrogen is somewhere over here in the list somewhere at the bottom whereas magnesium is somewhere on the top that means magnesium is more reactive than hydrogen hydrogen is less reactive here and we know that a less reactive metal cannot displace a more reactive from its compound that means this reaction is not going to proceed there will be no reaction happening here let's take another example here iron is reacting with copper chloride can you pause the video and think about what are the products that will be formed here now if you've tried it let's see so iron is somewhere here and copper is somewhere below that means iron is more reactive than copper that means iron will displace copper from its compound and finally we will get iron chloride plus copper so here the reaction will go forward so this is how you can use the reactivity series to predict the products of a chemical reaction but this is not the only use case see one more important use case is that we depend a lot on pure metals okay like iron and copper you can find them quite often in your kitchen or electrical appliances or building materials but you may not find these metals in their pure state in the nature meaning you might not find a rock of pure copper somewhere buried under the earth you might find copper in combined state as a compound like copper chloride and you will have to extract copper out of this and for that you will have to react copper chloride with a more reactive metal and this information like which metal is more reactive you can get that by remembering or by knowing about the reactivity series so reactivity series also helps us in extracting metals from their ores and we'll talk about them in future videos but now let's try to see how we can remember this long list for this I have a mnemonic the careless zebra mnemonic it goes something like this please stop calling me a careless zebra instead try learning how copper mercury save gold now this helps me remember the order of the metals in the reactivity series for example with the first letter of please I remember potassium with the first letter of stop I remember sodium from Cal of calling I remember calcium and so on so forth so you can also use the same mnemonic to remember these metals let's recall this one more time please stop calling me a careless zebra instead try learning how copper mercury save gold now one last thing is that this reactivity series might look slightly different than what you already have in your textbooks here you might find couple of extra metals and carbon which is a non-metal and the reason is that carbon is something that we will deal with quite often and that's why having it in the same list is very helpful for future okay that's it for this video here we saw how displacement reaction can be used to figure out which metal is more reactive than the other here the more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound and using this we arranged few metals according to their reactivity and we also saw how to remember this whole reactivity series
