Okay, I'm back. So I'm going to go over the LMC Fox conglomerate here. I'm calling it the conglomerate. And again, Foxconn and Lourdes Town are connected at the hip with this joint venture and joint production agreement and joint distribution agreement. I think we all know what that is. If not, take a look at my prior videos. Let me just get started on this. Now companies in the growing Foxconn Lourdes Time Motors BEV syndicate. The first company is Fisker and that's presently at 841. The pair, start of commercial production is scheduled for 2024. This is the affordable BEV compact crossover. Okay, this will be manufactured at Lourdes Town, Ohio under contract by Foxconn. Okay, that is in absolute certainty. Now rumor is that it will be based on the MIH platform, which would mean Lourdes Town Motors will be involved through the joint venture and should earn fees and possible royalties on each unit sold. So you have that and I think it most likely is based on the MIH platform. Henry Fisker is a designer and Lourdes Town is going to take his design prototype and turn it into a manufacturable vehicle and then get it certified and homologated and Foxconn is going to build it. So we've got Fisker with the pair and again and LMC designing engineering will likely be involved even if it's not an MIH platform vehicle because if it's going into the Lourdes Town factory they're going to have to tweak the design based on the capabilities of Lourdes Town which is Lourdes Town Motors plant first and foremost. Ocean. Now this is the second vehicle. Ocean is a mid-sized BEV crossover so $10,000 more expensive. Magna was to be the contract manufacturer. It's called the FM29 platform by Magna. They have a binding contract to make this car but the inflation reduction act may change things. I don't know. Magna is technically a Canadian company but they have manufacturing all over the world. Perhaps you guys can tell me. I'm not sure if they were planning on making the ocean in China which we keep costs down and then shipping it out for distribution. If that were the case it's not going to be available for any of the incentives under the inflation reduction act. So and I heard Henry Fisker in an interview actually talking about thinking about where they were going to make this vehicle because of the legislation that was passed. Now would they move it? If they were going to move it somewhere where would they move it? Of course they'd move it to Lourdes Town because they already got one vehicle being built there the pair. But again Magna Canadian company the manufacturer vehicles all over the world you can take a look at their website. I seem to recall China was going to be one of the manufacturing exams for this vehicle and they also have a production in Canada but if that were to change I mean so far Lourdes Town and Foxconn do have the pair and it might get the ocean to this is speculation on my part. Now let's talk about the next company that's in the Foxconn Lourdes Town web pair. This is Stellantis and I believe the price is $1309. There's a bunch of different Stellantis subdivisions and so forth anyway. Initially the CEO was anti BEV. He said there was no way to make a profit on BEVs. Now he's changed course and stated he's all in on BEVs. Now as I mentioned in my previous video I believe there's a 50-50 joint venture with Foxconn to develop chips and subsystems for ICE and BEV platforms and that's set to go to commercial production in 2024 and this includes things like chips maybe analog braking system chips circuit board sub assemblies and motor assemblies to run windshield wipers these types of things also includes cloud self-driving and infotainment as related to autos and generally speaking the auto environment the interior environment. Now Stellantis has a lot of different brands they make a lot of different cars I'm just going to focus in on a couple of them here. Now the Dodge and Jeep brands are two Stellantis brands that came under Stellantis in the takeover or the Perch buyout whatever last year. Now they just previewed the battery electric vehicle the charger the new charger which is a very attractive looking car. The challenger is likely to be I do believe they have stated that all of their muscle cars are going to become battery electric vehicles okay their entire muscle car line and these are very popular cars in the ICE version so I'm sure they're going to do well electrically. Now the other thing of course that Dodge has is the RAM pickup all right that's also going to be BEB and that is coming I believe in in 2024. Also the Jeep models are basically trucks but they do have the Gladiator pickup. Now again Stellantis is in a 50-50 joint venture with Foxconn to develop components. We have the inflation reduction app. I'm sure that Dodge and Jeep have ICE plants building these it would it be more efficient to have these vehicles contract manufactured by Foxconn at the Lordstown plant? Yes would Lordstown motors do the engineering? Yes now on these pickup trucks could they use a copy of the platform they already have? Yes or could they have that adapt hub motors? Yes so again since Stellantis is already in a 50-50 you know they're kind of having an affair with Foxconn. Foxconn is cheating on Lordstown there but these are their vehicles and you know they want to qualify under the inflation reduction act we know what has to happen. Now the rumor and I mentioned this in my previous video is that Stellantis is working with Foxconn on a battery electric vehicle for Europe there's no proof like this and again here I mentioned the inflation reduction act. BVs must be assembled in North America Canada USA and Mexico so Lordstown Ohio is a possible source for contract manufacturing and you really can't mention Foxconn contract manufacturing in Lordstown Ohio especially but perhaps throughout the world without LMC engineering and design so I think you know this this is an association that's I would say is going to bear fruit at some point in time for Lordstown motors okay would dodge for example and this is pure speculation I have no information on this would dodge for example want to offer a medium priced battery electric pickup truck and would that medium priced battery electric pickup truck be a rebranded Lordstown endurance I don't know sounds pretty likely to me could happen don't know don't don't make any investments based on that do your own dg but anyway another so you've got uh Fisker very exciting we've got the pair I don't know they may may move that ocean over um Stellantis again already in a 5050 joint venture with Foxconn moving into BVs they've got all these light vehicles you know would a white label truck be a potential would Lordstown engineering will Stellantis because they did the CEO said that it's not profitable would they want to outsource their manufacturing makes perfect sense to a contract manufacturer like Foxconn who's going to make all the component parts anyway all right so moving forward now we have workhorse now this is very interesting this is a Cincinnati based company it's a public company um Steve Burns was the CEO of workhorse and he left workhorse to start Lordstown virus and Steve Burns was the driving force behind workhorse and this was kind of a shade tree backyard inventor company Steve Burns was out in the wilderness working on BEVs before anybody let me just go through that a little bit here the LMC endorsed be a pickup which is in production now was first designed at workhorse and first it was it was a hybrid uh like a like a like a Prius so it had a battery a short range battery and internal combustion engine then it was kind of like the BMW what is it the i3 where it had a battery on board and then it had a small internal combustion engine that ran a generator that would charge that battery and then finally it became a full battery electric vehicle uh being and Steve Burns has been working on electric pickup trucks longer than anybody in the business you know everybody's talking about Rivian I want to tell you something about Rivian everything Rivian did fail and all they tried to do is build cars you know and their truck is having a hard time it's overly complex the you know the glass roof is failing the rolling taunier cover is failing I understand the suspension system adjusts all the time it stops signs and so forth but Steve Burns was way ahead of the curve of scaring scaring on really developing real pickup trucks you know this is in Cincinnati where real people live where real people need real pickup trucks not a gear tunnel anyway so Steve Burns developed that and then he got involved with Olaf and and hub motors and he was one of the very first to do this if not the first right after Olafie got certification in the European markets and you can look at my video Lordstown videos on the hub motor on the Olafie Olaf at home motor and you can go through the entire history of how this happened it's very interesting and you can see how those hub motors work and why Burns chose him he look he got the license for this for North America and then he moved the program over to Lordstown motors okay so it left workhorse and graduated to Lordstown motors now part of this deal this so Lordstown took Burns or Burns left Lord's workhorse for Lordstown and they had to buy them out because of this technology this was some of their main technology they basically had two product lines which was the pickup truck and the two different levels of box van delivery vans part of this deal was a 10 stock interest in Lordstown motors which workhorse received as part of the deal they got a new CEO at workhorse don't know much about them I have covered workhorse in the past I have videos on them I had diverted my attention pretty much full time to Lordstown motors seeing the opportunity there I wanted to get the information out the new CEO who is a military guy sold off this interest had a really bad time that hurt rides the ride stock price and the press was bad and you'll see later why I think this is this is a question about the CEO's skillset now right around this time General motors also sold and I would add this new CEO at workhorse and again I'm not going to criticize but they had trucks out and customers hands putting miles on them and you know he decided to recall everything and you know do a redesign I don't know what he's doing I have to take a close look at the company again I'm going to question his skillset based on this stock sale but let's move on to the rest about workhorse workhorse also made a run at the bv postal vehicle contract okay now this was supposed to be a shoe in because again uh workhorse was ahead of everybody on the curb forward everybody on these electric vehicles these electric delivery vehicles um net avan slash box truck also developed initially by burns and you know they had the endurance platform uh the plan was to get this contract and to assemble these postal office battery electric vehicles at Lordstown motors by burns so it would be just a carry on of the workhorse efforts by burns at Lordstown so hey they were going to get the contract they were going to build the trucks at Lordstown the contract went to another firm and this is a very I got PA postal it's postal office post office this is a very sketch I mean I have uh several videos going over this deal I do believe initially uh workhorse was hamstrung intentionally as they were favoring uh Ford they actually stalled the approval of the vehicle to give Ford a chance to get a battery electric vehicle out and and Ford never even had one to do the they did the evaluation on a gas fire vehicle uh the evaluation drive by the workhorse um vehicle was Ford line fraud in my opinion you I'll I'll just allege that I don't know but you gotta read watch my videos on this if you want the inside story on this you talk about scuttling a brand and scuttling a product and and just uh something where workhorse had you know a right to win that contract which would have made so much sense for the country and would have been so much better for the country and for the environment for the budget of the post office and for everything and they gave it to I believe Oshkosh who never made an electric vehicle in their life and they build tanks you know could it be any worse you know and and like I said I believe they held it for Ford and then when Ford couldn't get it done they gave it to Oshkosh but anyway they there was just a outright war against uh workhorse getting this and by the way uh the postmaster I had a video planned on him I mentioned this before I did a lot of research on him I didn't put it out because I was afraid of legal action you gotta you gotta look into this guy's background maybe I mean I'm not I'm just I shouldn't say that just allege that you take a look at it and decide for yourself but anyway uh Biden is trying to get the leadership out at the postal service if they do um they may open up this contract again as it is these are going to all be ice the new postal vehicles are going to be ice vehicles they're going to convert a certain percentage of them to battery electric it's not very good for the country or the budget uh so maybe uh this administration the Biden administration can do something about that now so as part of the deal to split the endurance better battery electric pickup truck off from workhorse and create uh LMC with burns workhorse uh in 2020 was paid 12.2 million by Lord Stein motors for rights to the endurance uh BV to become a Lord Stein motors product so that moved the entire product and program over to Lord Stein motors that was 12 mil uh also workhorse and this you can see how workhorse is joined at the hip with Lord Stein motors why the CEO would want to sell the stock and damage uh you know the financial position and so forth of Lord Stein motors unless they were on the verge of bankruptcy I do not know uh but look at this workhorse will receive a license fee equal to one percent of the gross salvia uh price for each Lord Stein motors truck up to the first 200 000 units okay and that's from the Youngstown business journal you can look that up and read for yourself now this is kind of a complex deal uh a lot of these royalties have been paid up front as you can see 200 000 units everybody was saying Steve Burns doesn't know what he's talking about he's lying about the sales let me tell you I have a video about the pre-orders that were in at at uh you don't understand there was no f-150 there was no rivian there was no nothing the the endurance was the only battery electric vehicle pickup truck anyway you can see what they put this amount anyway moving forward uh now a portion of this has been prepaid uh LMC will pay the one percent license fee for the remainder of the two 200 000 units uh to workhorse this should be workhorse here so uh is this going to impact uh Lord Stein you're going to have to look up the details of this deal yourself but I can tell you that in my reading it appears as though the majority of these royalties have been paid ahead of time and it's just a matter of catching up with the remaining ones after production starts but look at that number okay look at that number 200 000 why did they pick 200 000 what do you think you think maybe they had an idea that was going to be an accurate number or maybe that there was going to be more than 200 000 units anyway let's move forward workhorse will also receive an additional four percent commission on the gross sale price of trucks sold to fulfill now listen to this 6000 existing existing pre-orders so at the time this truck went over they had 6000 orders okay okay for the workhorse and this is what it was called the w-15 before it was the endurance that were transferred to Lordstown Motors so Steve Burns's line about orders well here's another 6000 okay and they're going to be paid a commission so they're going to be paid a commission on these 6000 for uh four percent on these existing orders that shouldn't hurt Lordstown's bottom line because they're pre-existing uh so forth uh and again we've got a 200 000 unit mark here so yeah yeah read between the lines okay workhorse also reported it sold off now this is present news it's non-core assets and intellectual property to allow its full strategic focus on uh production this should be production of its last mile c-series delivery vehicles which this military guy recalled them all i don't know you know they said they were underpowered but that wasn't i don't know where that complaint came from i i have to do more research on this but i'm just saying they're going to put their focus on their c-series delivery vehicles and their patented horsefly drone truck-bounded technology and this is dated 2020 now port the horsefly drone truck-mounted technology again this is Steve Burns totally this is Steve Burns invention and this is where the drone is mounted on the roof of the box van and the package is suspended below it and there is a phone app where someone can remotely manage where the drone drops the package on their property and what the truck driver can do is stop and this can either automatically or they can load it and it'll take off and do a delivery and then they'll go and do another delivery and it'll catch up with them and land back on top of the truck and as Steve Burns said uh we can we had one mounted on the truck which is a demo video he goes we can mount eight of these things on a truck and have them run it okay and what they're talking about full strategic focus one of the other things that Steve Burns is working on which everybody's working on now are these you know small aircraft personal and and small aircraft electric aircraft for commuting and doing small flights and you see that all the major airlines are are investing in these companies and you can see all the prototypes out there and you know the major airlines are using are going to use these things to go from smaller airports to bigger airports and they're talking about air taxis and so forth Steve Burns back in the day while he was at what they're talking about full strategic focus one of the things he was focusing on and developed using hub motors was a two-person flying electric vehicle with hub motors that would have auto pilot on it that would uh take you to the destination and so forth now the cool thing about this flying vehicle was it would kind of fit in a normal parking space and when you flew it home uh you folded the arms down because the motors were mounted on arms and we fit in a normal garage okay and they had this thing past the prototype stage where they were flying it and they were flying it tethered okay and the next step was open-air testing anyway now let's just get back to the topic at hand this by the way this flying car uh and also runs on full auto mode full self-driving full self-flying this was sold to a defense contractor who is turning it into or has perhaps secretly turned it into already an autonomous supply delivery vehicle for frontline troops uh and it doesn't require a pilot and they bought the idea they bought everything and that's what it's going to be used for but again Steve Burns ahead of the turf now I just want to talk about this drone delivery uh system uh you know Amazon spent 12 I think 12 billion dollars trying to come up with a strategy for drone delivery they they canceled their home whole product because it's so stupid what Amazon was doing they were going to like build a giant beehive you know like every 50 blocks in a in a city and then they were going to have thousands of drones in these beehives and then they were all going to fly out and go and deliver and fly back can you imagine the noise can you imagine how horrible that would be this again is truck mounted it takes the drones to where they're where they're going to be launched they have short flights uh you can use it not use it flexibility anyway of all and I have looked into drone delivery systems and this is something I've done a video on and let me tell you this is in my opinion the absolute best drone solution and it is the only viable drone delivery system for a company like Amazon or the US Postal Office that's going to work and they've been working on it straight along and they're actually the last time I looked they were using it in a test case delivering medical supplies in the southern United States now Israel's working on a air traffic control system for these types of drones automated aircraft control system and you know they have to this technology has to be licensed by the government but this is extremely valuable if the CEO can execute it and get it to production now they said they they want to focus on horse-flight drone truck mounted delivery this this is a reason you know to look at workhorse stock and I would imagine but I'm not certain I would think this is right up Foxconn and Lordstown motors it's right in their bay that it gets in their wheelhouse this was built I think this again would be contract manufactured at Lordstown that's speculation on my trucks these trucks and now this was the intention initially these trucks the C and the S I forget what the the nomenclature is on these big delivery bands were initially planned to be manufactured at Lordstown motors that was the whole plan start Lordstown motors get the postal contract build the endurance and build the postal vehicles at the Lordstown plant using hub motors it was sabotaged by the dark forces of the American business community which exists could it still happen in the LMC Foxconn world you know this would be a big deal okay but the CEO at workhorse is he up to it now an interesting thing having to do with all this is that the Biden administration is looking into opening up the postal BV contract again possibly and they want to get the postmaster out too but that's a difficult thing to do but so there's that but there's again this is speculation on my part I get accused of being a speculator with Lordstown motors but these are all facts that I'm stating and I'm just using deduction to come to a conclusion here now we have Geely Geely Auto Group is a leading automobile manufacturer based in Hangzhou China founded in 97 of a holding group with several leading brands including Geely Auto Link Proton Cards and Geometry now they build a lot of different things but these are their car brands all right Geely Volvo Zika Lotus Polestar when they got Linko Geometry Zika but you know just look at it you got Polestar you got Lotus Lotus Volvo okay think this is do you think this is a big time of course it is I think everybody's over this company heard of this company I don't know if you know BYD would be a Buffett's company in 2021 Fox Count entered into a joint venture which was a precursor of the MIH concept with Geely so this is something they were thinking about then it has progressed to the MIH contract I think this probably is still in the effect in 2022 a subsidiary now this is this year subsidiary and Geely and a subsidiary of Foxconn okay have formed and funded a JV to produce chips for the auto industry so this is all on the download it's kind of hidden in subsidiaries and there isn't a lot of information on it anywhere very a little else is known at the moment but again these guys Foxconn is cheating on Lordstown Motors again with Geely and you look at all these Geely vehicles Polestar I believe right now is built in China not sure where Lotus is made I think I don't think it's England anymore but if they want to make these brands they and Volvo of course now if they want these electric vehicles of these brands and these other brands as well to get into the U.S. market and to get the tax credits and so forth you're gonna have to make them in North America that would be Canada U.S. and Mexico they're already in bed with Foxconn Lordstown Motors I mean even if Foxconn decides to build assembly plants in Mexico and Canada that could be five years away let's say even at that point it I think there's still a very good chance that Lordstown Motors is going to be involved in the design of obligation certification of these vehicles generating fees generating you know percentages on each unit sold and so forth I think we could say that with a bit of certainty but again this is just just another I mean this is a giant web of companies that are related to Foxconn and now Lordstown Motors is joined at the hip with Foxconn so they're related they're related to these companies as well and you know both Danny Avagi and Hightower said reason we came to Lordstown work with Foxconn so this is why now I believe this is the final company is Fairday Future you can see this price uh China's Geedy Holding said on Friday it in Foxconn are intoxicated by provide contract manufacturing services to Fairday Future Geely had said that in a statement to sign a framework agreement to offer technology engineering support to Fairday Future and become a minor investor in Fairday Future's list so there you go now they said Geely signed the contract Foxconn was involved in the talks we don't know where that is now again there's not a lot of news on this this is the January 2021 article so it's kind of an old article but you can see again the association with this vehicle and I think you know I have done a number of videos videos on Fairday Future let's just go through the rest of this presentation I'm not going to talk about it anyway so I have covered I have a video coming I did a ton of research and I was getting ready to do the video and I got sidetracked by Lordstown Motors issues so anyway now I have talked to staff at Fairday Future now they plan to make a halo car that's their big 91 in the USA in Fremont California people saying oh well there's only 200 well you know this is a halo car this is the first year production this is Royce level of luxury it puts the Royce SUV to shame this is a fantastic car take a look at it take a look at the videos take a look at my videos on it about the interior environment in this vehicle and the technology wow now so they were going to build the halo car in the United States in Fremont California then there is a mid-range line that they have planned you know based on this halo car and they were going to build that in South Korea and for export so forth and then they have a third tier which is an affordable range kind of like the Fisker line and they were going to build that in China for domestic and export markets now this was their plan all along somebody saying well they can only go well you know they're just building a halo car in Fremont okay forget about it okay they got much bigger plans than that but this was before the inflation reduction now so if they want to sell a mainstream affordable car in the United States that's what the implication or a mid-level crossover whatever you want to call it and they want to get the tax cut it's they're going to have to build that vehicle in North America and that's either China United States or Mexico and again Geely's an investor in Faraday Future and a joint venture partner with Foxconn Foxconn's already talked to them about contract manufacturing services could these lower lower-end models end up being built in Lordstown, Ohio and engineered for production promulgation so forth by Lordstown Motors for Foxconn generating fees and percentages on units sold I don't think this is outside of realm of possibility now I just want to go over some additional things on Faraday Future because I have done a lot of work on this company this is a breakthrough vehicle I mean the cockpit is something else it's I believe the only the battery is fully immersed in a non flammable liquid it doesn't have cooling channels it doesn't have little tubelets it's sitting in liquid which allows for massively fast charging and massively fast dispensing of energy out of the battery and it's safer and so forth so I believe this is the only only vehicle electric vehicle right now that's doing this. YT is China's Elon Musk and he's a dynamic visionary you have to look up YT he invented Netflix before there was Netflix he invented China he made billions on the internet he decided to go into electric vehicles and his top competitor was Elon Musk now they had a dismal failure at the launch of their FF91 at a trade show wasn't the vehicle's fault it was the wireless communications were hampered by the structure of uh that they were in and they could not get the car to operate function function properly because of that and it looked bad there was actually nothing wrong with it that hurt that hurt the brand but YT is very cool and he has got a high-risk profile he's very much Elon Musk um you know 10 years ago at least uh everybody's trying to make oh they're talking about oh in-car entertainment and oh the screens and oh and we got to do this YT you look at look at for it 10 years ago maybe more than 10 years ago YT was doing all this not only was he doing it he did it he got it all in the car he got it working he got the car exists that everyone wants to make right now uh you know because the catalytic lyric is trying to be what uh you know Foxconn and these guys uh Stolanus are planning for the interior environment you know and all the cloud that's all YT did that 10 years ago more than 10 years ago um I've spoken to the staff at fair day future to a few of them they are very loyal they are loyal to YT they are loyal to the brand they are committed they are very proud of the superior battery electric vehicle they have made I met some of them they were kind of in a chase car for a testing vehicle and they were going to drive the vehicle the test vehicle around they never made it but I didn't get my test right in a prototype but anyway uh most all of the staff from the beginning has stayed with this company through thick and thin that's how much they believe in this product and YT okay now now YT you know after this horrendous downturn and the shortened reports the stored reports and everything else uh he went into debt he went into a form of bankruptcy he had to hide out he couldn't go back to China because they were after him they were going to put him in jail because he had so he hid out in the United States and kept working on this car but uh as of my last bit of research which was a while ago uh he had mended his ties with the CCP he had paid back massive amounts of the money that he owed I think he was working to pay he he has pledged that he is going to repay every penny that he owes because people had invested with him and you know the investment is going on and so forth but he he has remediated his reputation in China so he's in good stead in China and and he's working to repay everyone and and you know Roger Sun or whatever you want to call it anyway uh and he was exiled in California for a while and couldn't go back to China and so for it but those are solved now there's a new set of problems at uh their day future but let's just say the ff 91 deliveries are supposed to start at the end of 2022 and again they're saying oh there's only 200 it's a halo car this is a Rolls Royce this is Rolls Royce level this is better than a Rolls Royce you have to look at the car compare it feature by feature with the Rolls Royce uh SUV not even close uh now the top engineers this is just come out some of the top engineers at fair at fair day future are stating that one of the board members and I'm not sure if it's the chairman or what it's it's a female board member they state that she is working against fair day futures financial interests she's trying to force a restructuring of the company they won her out so there's this drama okay and as I said these engineers have all stuck with this company from the start and they are against this board member and they have gone public on okay this is just breaking news in october 21 shortened to stored attack by j capple again now look what they're doing move over lords town right fair day stands for investment vehicle okay blah blah blah will ever sell a car well you know you're wrong so far nothing but a bucket to collect money from us investors and point about well you know i'm sorry there's so much activity going on in china and you can understand this is a n what a nasdaq listed stopped that has operations in china now you have to conduct you know corporate lawyer and so forth in international law but the way I saw it in my first read of it anyway was investing in fair day future was a way of investing in the chinese battery electric vehicle market through nasdaq having the generally accepted accounting principles having the transparency and reporting that you don't get with the chinese listed companies having access to the chinese market building the affordable level car from fair day future in china I think this can be very powerful of course we have some economic issues in china right now and some other things that change the inflation reduction act which may change these plans but this is I think one of the things besides having a great vehicle that fair day future has to offer you have to do your own dd on that please a complicated topic now this short and distorted attack this this attack as usual you know sec came in it resulted in some reorganization I believe the CEO got his salary cut YT to some others too they redefined YT's role you know and this is a bunch of malarkey okay this is a typical short attack was done as was done the Lord's time others you see they even mention it I now find these attack reports to be a badge of honor for the bv manufacturers attack it means somebody and I have down here oem's question mark maybe dealers I don't know I don't know I mean you'd have to look into that for yourself but anyone who has an interest in the conventional way of manufacturing and selling automobiles are going to be after these companies powers that be have decided that they were a threat and suddenly this support just appeared now fair day future was a threat was a threat to who well I don't know let's just speculate just spit bone here just you know PM Cadillac Lincoln Continental I don't know I'm just guessing that's that I'm not making any accusations you can do your own DD you know with Lord's time others let's see you know who would who would want to be first a lot battery electric pickup truck who would want to stifle that I don't know maybe you know I mean theoretically just spit balling maybe forward anyway ah now one laughable claim in this report I recall was that YT was taking too big of a role in the company behind the Saints versus his defined role now as part of their restructuring his debt restructuring he had to step back some from some of his duties and he was in by uh appointed environmental uh electronic environmental designer or something like that for the vehicle but anyway duh okay how stupid do you have to be to write this stuff he's the founder what do you mean he's taking too big of a role behind the scenes of course he's going to take a role behind the scenes of course it this is so stupid I can't I can't believe I'm reading this I hate these short and distorted these short and distorted attacks could be a flag for investors now this you're going to have to don't I'm not a financial advisor engineer accountant or economic economist I don't I'm just a guy on the internet and don't take my advice please do your own DD any investment can result in the catastrophic loss believe me and that happens and in this market it can happen anyway I'm just going to get back to these s and d attacks could be a flag uh for investors looking for undervalued high risk investments with potentially powerful products the point I'm making here is if it was a crap product that didn't present a threat to anybody you know nobody's going to put out a short and distorted on it why would they it's a waste of time and effort so this is definitely high risk and again guys this is you know this is total loss we're looking at high potential of total losses but I'm just stating this just by going over and reading my own comments here but anyway uh but if you look at Tesla Tesla was a victim of this short and distorted ride and I believe ride is going to to have a I think ride is is and what in this current configuration with fox time if fox clown is a hedge for tesla known tesla uh so even you know ride was even mentioned in this uh in this report uh so the potential uh potential returns can be massive on these types but this is extremely high risk so trust me even with ride even at this point with these markets and everything you have to come to the realization that any any money you invest in a company like riding and again I'm not not a professional I'm just giving you my opinion you're at risk of losing it and the same would be for this stock or any other stock in this book but I just want to give a quote here that I heard from somebody uh you make money when you buy a stock not when you sell it and what does that mean the lower you buy that the more money you're going to make on it so that's kind of a flea market thing you know you can buy stuff for a penny and sell it for a dime anyway the point is um it's just uh you know this is a thought exercise guys you do your own dd and come up with your own strategy and this is of course there's no time for high risk investments uh here's the rub with with uh fair to the future I believe significant investments in plant equipment have been made or planned in china uh to make the affordable per day future uh will the inflation reduction act cause this production to be moved to the USA huh would it make sense to build this vehicle at Lordstown via lmc design and engineering and foxconn contract manufacturing I'd say the probability that is less than 50 50 percent but could it happen so in other words instead of shipping cars over from china which is basically isn't going to be financially feasible under this new act uh they would have the domestic chinese fair day future uh production in china for the you know $40,000 whatever the that price mark would be the lower cost version of this more affordable version of this car so they would have that in china for the chinese market and guess what instead of exporting those cars to the united states they could build those cars at lordstown uh engineered homologated and certified by lordstown motors and built under contract by foxconn and distributed in the united states again uh I don't want to go through this litany of relationships here but you can see how all these things are interlocking is this outside is this crazy talk is this outside of realm of possibility no uh less than 50 percent now but could it change I mean there's possibility I'm just looking here at what these relationships mean uh take a look at my fair day future videos and I got to get this one out I did there was a guy in china who has done several videos you have to translate him from chinese he has a lot of great insights uh into fair day future nyt and so forth anyway moving forward that's a wrap guys I just want to show you this is a 2020 picture of the workhorse battery electric top high top van concept and this was by steve burns and as you can see here I had showed you the spy photo of the high top van and this is another version here I'm not sure if hub motors were available to them when this was done but just to give you an idea and this is under the workhorse logo and um I'm not sure if this is a horse flying drone encapsulation up here or not but just to give you an idea just cross that out and put more side motors on there okay anyway all right this is mx ux I hope you like to move the uh video not a financial advisor engineer accountant or attorney do your own dd ride is a high risk investment is a risk of catastrophic loss the same goes for all the other companies I mentioned here good luck in the market this is him


Bon Jovi is an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in 1983, Bon Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake John Bon Jovi, pianist and keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, lead guitarist Phil X, and bassist Hugh McDonald. The band's line-up has remained mostly static during its history, with the only exceptions being the 1994 dismissal of bass player Alec John Such, who was unofficially replaced by Hugh McDonald, and the departure of longtime guitarist and CO songwriter Richie Sambora in 2013. Phil X and McDonald both become official members in 2016. In 1986, Bon Jovi achieved widespread global recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet. The band's fourth album, New Jersey was equally successful in 1988. After touring and recording non-stop during the late 1980s, the band went on hiatus following the New Jersey tour in 1990, during which time John Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released successful solo albums. In 1992, the band returned with the album Keep the Faith. Their 2000 single It's My Life, which followed a second hiatus, successfully introduced the band to a younger audience. Bon Jovi have been known to use different styles in their music, which has included country for their 2007 album Lost Highway. On March 12, 2013, Bon Jovi released their 12th studio album, What About Now? Thus far, Bon Jovi has released 13 studio albums, plus six compilations and three live albums. The band has sold more than 130 million records worldwide and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006. The band was also honored with the award of merit at the American Music Awards in 2004, and as songwriters and collaborators, John Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009. History. Formation, 1978-1983. John Bon Jovi began playing piano and guitar in 1975, at the age of 13, with his first band Raze. At 16, Bon Jovi met David Bryan and formed a band called Atlantic City Expressway. Still in his teens, Bon Jovi played in the band John Bon Jovi and the Wild Ones, playing local clubs like the Fast Lane, and opening for known acts in the area. By 1980, he formed another band, The Rest, and opened up for New Jersey acts such as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. By mid-1982, out of school and working part-time at a women's shoe store, John Bon Jovi took a job at the Power Station Studios, a Manhattan recording facility where his cousin Tony Bon Jovi was CEO owner. Bon Jovi made several demos including one produced by Billy Squire and sent them to record companies, though failing to make an impact. His first professional recording was as lead vocals in R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas, which was part of The Christmas in the Stars album which his cousin CEO produced. In 1983, a then-unknown Bon Jovi visited a local radio station WAP-103.5 FM The Apple and Lake Success, New York, and wrote and sang the jingles for the station. He spoke with DJ Chip Hobart and to the promotion director, John Lassman, who suggested Bon Jovi let WAP include the song Runaway on the station's compilation album of local homegrown talent. Bon Jovi was reluctant, but eventually gave them the song, on which Bon Jovi had used studio musicians to play on the track Runaway, which was written in 1982. WAP worked with WARTV, now WWRTV, in nearby Saacacus, New Jersey on a music video show, Rock Nine Videos, for a short time in 1984. The studio musicians who helped record Runaway known as the All-Star Review were guitarist Tim Pierce, keyboardist Roy Bithin, drummer Frankie LaRocca, and bassist Hugh McDonald. The song began to get airplay in the New York area, then other sister stations in major markets picked up the song. In March 1983, Bon Jovi called David Bryan, who in turn called bassist Alec John Such and an experienced drummer named Tico Torres, both formerly of the band Phantom's Opera. Tap-to-play lead guitar was Bon Jovi's neighbor, Dave Sabo, a.k.a. The Snake, though he never officially joined the band. He and John promised each other that whoever made it first, would help out the other. Sabo later went on to form the group Skid Row. John saw and was impressed with hometown guitarist Richie Sambora. Sambora had toured with Joe Cocker, played with a group called Mercy and had been called up to audition for KISS. He also played on the album Lessons with the band Message, which was re-released on CD through Long Island Records in 1995. Message was originally signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records label, although the album was never released. Tico Torres was also an experienced musician, having recorded and played live with Phantom's Opera, the Marv Letts and Chuck Berry. He appeared on 26 Records and had recently recorded with Franca and the Knockouts, a Jersey band with hit singles during the early 1980s. David Bryan had quit the band that he and Bon Jovi had founded in order to study medicine. While in college, he realized that he wanted to pursue music full-time, and was accepted to Juilliard School, a New York music school. When Bon Jovi called his friend and said that he was putting together a band, and a record deal looked likely, Bryan followed Bon Jovi's lead and gave up his studies. Bon Jovi and 7800-degree Fahrenheit, 1984-1985 Once the band began playing showcases and opening for local talent, they caught the attention of record executive Derek Schulman, who signed them to Mercury Records and who was part of the Polygram Company. Because John Bon Jovi wanted a group name, Pamela Maher, a friend of Richard Fisher and an employee of Doc McGee, suggested they call themselves Bon Jovi, following the example of the other famous two-word bands such as Van Hollen. This name was chosen instead of the original idea of Johnny Electric. Pamela's suggestion of the name was met with little enthusiasm, but two years later they hit the charts under that name. With the help of their new manager Doc McGee they recorded the band's debut album, Bon Jovi, which was released on January 21, 1984. The album included the band's first hit single, Runaway, reaching top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album peaked at number 43 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The group soon found itself opening for Scorpions in US and for Kiss in Europe. In 1985, Bon Jovi's second album 7800 degree Fahrenheit was released. The band released three singles only Lonely, In and Out of Love and The Ballad Silent Night. The album peaked at number 37 on Billboard 200 and certified gold by RIAA. While the album did not do as well as they'd hoped in terms of sales, it allowed Bon Jovi to get out on the road touring again. In May 1985, Bon Jovi headlined venues in Japan and Europe. At the end of the European tour, the band began a six-month run of US tour dates supporting Ratt. In the midst of that tour they managed to make appearances at the Texas Jam and Castle Dunnington's Monsters of Rock concerts in England. The band also performed at the very first farm aid in 1985. Slippery Winwet, 1986-1987. After two moderately successful albums, the group changed their approach for their next album and hired professional songwriter Desmond Child as a collaborator. Bruce Fairbairn was chosen as the producer of the album. In early 1986 Bon Jovi moved to Vancouver, Canada to record their third album. The band spent six months recording the new album. The band decided to name the album Slippery Winwet after visiting a strip club in Vancouver. On August 16, 1986, Slippery Winwet was released. The album reached number one in US, where it spent eight weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. The first two singles from the album, You Give Love a Bad Name and Living on a Prayer, both reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Slippery Winwet was named the top-selling album of 1987 by Billboard Living on a Prayer won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Stage Performance. The band won an award for Favorite Pop Rock Band at the American Music Awards and an award for Favorite Rock Group at the People's Choice Awards. When Slippery Winwet was released in August 1986, Bon Jovi was the support act for 38 Special. By the end of 1986, Bon Jovi were well into six months of headline dates in arenas across America. In August 1987, the band headlined England's Monsters of Rock Festival. During their set D. Snyder, Bruce Dickinson and Paul Stanley joined the band to perform were an American band. The band ended the year having headlined 130 shows in the tour without end, grossing $28,400,000. John Bon Jovi was asked what this breakthrough to worldwide fame meant, to which he answered, everything is bigger, and it moves twice as fast. You're recognized twice as often. This is bigger, the whole world gets bigger. You have to sell more records, be huger. You get smarter and you understand the business a little more, so it's more responsibility. You understand it now, and you want to make sure everything goes right. New Jersey in Hiatus, 1988-1991 Determined to prove that the success of Slippery Winwet was not a fluke, Bon Jovi released their fourth effort New Jersey in September 1988. New Jersey peaked at number one in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. The album produced five Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Bon Jovi the record for the most Top 10 singles spawned by a hard rock album. Two of the hits, Bad Medicine and I'll Be There For You, managed to reach number one. The album's three other singles Born To Be My Baby, Lay Your Hands On Me, and Living In Sin reached the Top 10. Bon Jovi even made the news when the video for A Living In Sin was banned by MTV for featuring some two racy romance sex scenes. After that it was re-edited and MTV put it in heavy rotation. Bon Jovi mounted another huge worldwide tour that continued throughout 1989 and 1990. They visited more than 22 countries and performed more than 232 shows before it was all over. The personal high point for the band was their June 11, 1989 sell-out homecoming at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. In August 1989, the band headed to the Soviet Union for the Moscow Music Peace Festival. Bon Jovi were the first band officially sanctioned by the Soviet government to perform in the Soviet Union and New Jersey became the first US album to be released legally in the USSR. In September 1989, John Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora performed Live In On A Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive Only with two acoustic guitars on the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards. The performance has generally been acknowledged as the inspirational spark that led to the MTV Unplugged series and the catalyst for the subsequent popularity of the unplugged movement in popular music. The non-stop touring was taking its toll on the band. By the end of the New Jersey tour, Bon Jovi had 16 months of concerts under their belt and the band members were exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. Finally, following the last tour date in Mexico, and without any clear plans for their future, the band members just went home. Between 1990 and 1991 the band members went their separate ways. The exhaustion of recording both Slippery When Wet and New Jersey Back to Back, with highly paced world tours after each album, took its toll on the band. The band has since stated that there were few if any goodbyes between them at the end of the New Jersey tour. During the time they took off from the scene, the band retreated to their own projects and showed no desire for making another album. Disillusioned with the music business, despite all his success, and unhappy with the status quo, in 1991 John Bon Jovi fired his management, business advisors and agents, including his longtime manager, Doc McGee. John took on the quarterbacking responsibilities himself by closing ranks and creating Bon Jovi management. In October 1991 the band went to a Caribbean island of St. Thomas to discuss plans for the future. They managed to resolve their differences by allowing each member to speak about his feelings without interruption from each other. Upon resolving their issues, they headed back into the Vancouver Little Mountain Studios with Bob Rock to work on the band's fifth album in January 1992. Keep the Faith and Cross Road, 1992-1995 Bon Jovi's fifth studio album Keep the Faith was released in November 1992, representing the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Bon Jovi and marking a change in the band's sound and image. The album turned away from heavy drums and wild guitar solos, but instead introduced a more mature sound of Bon Jovi and contained more serious lyrics. The media focused considerable attention on John Bon Jovi's hair. When John Bon Jovi cut his hair he made headlines on CNN. To promote Keep the Faith they returned to their roots playing a few dates at the small New Jersey clubs where they had started their career. The band appeared on MTV Unplugged but that was different from the other episodes of MTV Unplugged series. The performance captures Bon Jovi in an intimate, in the round experience, performing acoustic and electric renditions of classic hits, Bon Jovi and non-Bon Jovi tracks, and new material from Keep the Faith. The concert was released commercially in 1993 as Keep the Faith, an evening with Bon Jovi. The album managed to reach double platinum status by the RIAA and produced the top 10 hit Bed of Roses while the title track hit No. 1 on the mainstream rock tracks Bon Jovi embarked on an extensive international world tour for the album, visiting countries the band had never seen before and headlining stadiums in the South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. They visited 37 countries, performed 177 shows and seen them play to 2.5 million fans on the Keep the Faith tour I'll Sleep When I'm Dead tour. In October 1994, Bon Jovi released a greatest hits album titled Cross Road, with two new tracks, Always and Someday I'll Be Saturday Night. The first single from the album always became Bon Jovi's highest-selling single and stayed on top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for six months. In the UK, Cross Road became the best-selling album of 1994. That year Bon Jovi won an award for best-selling rock band at the World Music Awards. That same year, bassist Alec John Such was fired from the band, the first line-up change since Bon Jovi began. Hugh McDonald who was the bassist on Runaway, unofficially replaced Such as Bassist. John Bon Jovi said, regarding the departure of Such, of course it hurts. But I learned to accept and respect it. The fact that I'm a workaholic, studio in, studio out, stage on, stage off, want to be dealing with music day and night, doesn't mean everyone else has to adjust to that pace. Alec wanted to quit for a while now, so it didn't come as a complete surprise. It was followed by a hugely successful worldwide tour. In June 1995, Bon Jovi sold out three nights at London's historical Wembley Stadium. The concerts were documented for Bon Jovi, live from London. These days in another hiatus, 1995-1998. Bon Jovi's sixth studio album, These Days, was released in June 1995, during which time the band on European tour. The album debuted at number one in UK and spent four consecutive weeks at the top position. The album also reached number one in Ireland, Germany, Australia, Japan and many other countries. The album's first single was the rhythm and blues-influenced ballad This Ain't a Love Song. With an exotic video filmed in Thailand, This Ain't a Love Song reached top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the only significant US hit from the album, however, the album produced four UK top 10 hits, This Ain't a Love Song, something for the pain, lie to me and these days. That year the band earned a Brit Award for Best International Band and also won a MTV Europe Music Award for Best Rock. It was followed by These Days tour. In June 1995, Bon Jovi sold out three nights at London's historical Wembley Stadium. The concerts were documented for Bon Jovi, live from London. Bon Jovi visited 43 countries and performed 126 shows on These Days tour. Following the overwhelming success of the These Days tour, the members of Bon Jovi went their separate ways. But unlike the period following the New Jersey tour, tainted with uncertainty, this hiatus was a conscious group decision. The members of Bon Jovi agreed to a self-imposed two-year sabbatical from the band. Crush, Bounce and This Left Feels Right, 1999-2004 Bon Jovi reunited in 1999 to record the song Real Life for the movie Ed TV. David Bryan was recovering from an accident in which he nearly severed his finger. After a nearly four-year hiatus, during which several band members worked on independent projects, Bon Jovi regrouped in 1999 to begin work on their next studio album. In June 2000, Crush was released as the band's seventh studio album and constituted something of a comeback. The first single It's My Life was noted as one of the group's most successful releases in a decade and most importantly, becoming a symbol of the band's longevity as they prevailed through many different changes in the mainstream rock scene with admirable success. It's My Life helped introduce them to a new, younger fan base. The band received two Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album Crush and Best Rock Performance by duo group It's My Life. The video for It's My Life won the My VH1 Music Awards for my favourite video. Bon Jovi played two sold-out concerts at London's historic Wembley Stadium in August 19, 2020, 2000, becoming the last ever concerts held at the legendary venue before its demolition. That year the band played to 1.1 million fans in 40 arena and stadium venues across North America, Europe and Japan. While on tour, Bon Jovi released a collection of live performances from throughout their career in an album entitled One Wild Night Live 1985-2001. This was Bon Jovi's first ever live album. The songs were culled from archives of recorded material the band had been collecting from their earliest days on the road right through the current tour. The band sold out two homecoming concerts at New Jersey's Giants Stadium in July 27, 2008, 2001. The broadcast broke ratings records for the VH1 network. At the end of the year Bon Jovi awarded four hottest live show at the 2001 My VH1 Music Awards. The members of the band had anticipated a brief vacation before work would begin on the band's eighth studio album. But on September 11, the world changed. Within days of the terrorist attacks, John Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora had filmed public service announcements for the Red Cross, recorded America the Beautiful for the NFL and performed as part of the Historic America, a tribute to hero's live telethon. One month later, the band participated at two Monmouth County Alliance of Neighbors' Concerts in Red Bank, New Jersey to raise funds for the family's close the band's hometowns, which were affected by the World Trade Center disaster.

The album debuted at number two in both the US and UK. The band went on the Bounce tour for the album, during which they made history as the last band to play Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia before it was torn down. Following the end of the Bounce tour in August 2003, Bon Jovi embarked on a side project, originally intending to produce an album consisting of live acoustic performances, the band ended up rewriting, re-recording and reinventing 12 of their biggest hits in a new and much different light.

Burning Bridges was released August 21, 2015. According to John Bon Jovi, the album serves as a fan record to tie in with an accompanying international tour, its songs that weren't finished, that were finished, a couple of new ones like the one we released as a single We Don't Run. A Bon Jovi consultant confirmed that a new studio album is still planned to be released in 2016 followed by a world tour. On September 30, 2015, John Bon Jovi announced during a press conference that the title of their upcoming album will be This House Is Not For Sale. In the article, he said the following the record is about our integrity. Integrity matters and we're at a place in our career where we don't have anything left to prove. The album's lead single, This House Is Not For Sale featuring a music video was released August 12, 2016, which also featured the promotion of unofficial members Hugh McDonald and Phil X to full-time band members. On November 4, 2016, the band officially released their 13th studio album, This House Is Not For Sale, which was followed by their third live album, This House Is Not For Sale live from the London Palladium, that was released on December 16, 2016. Solo Projects During the band's first sabbatical between 1990-1991 John Bon Jovi recorded a solo album, a soundtrack to the movie Young Guns 2 more commonly known as Blaze Of Glory. Released in 1990, the title track, Blaze Of Glory peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1991 Blaze Of Glory won an award for favorite pop-rock single at the American Music Awards and awarded a Golden Globe, as well. The song also earned John Bon Jovi an Academy Award nomination and a Grammy nomination. Richie Sombora, with the help of Tico Torres and David Bryan, released a solo album entitled Stranger In This Town, in 1991. The album featured Eric Clapton on the song Mr. Bluesman. David Bryan recorded a soundtrack for the horror movie The Netherworld, which was the brighter part of that year after he was hospitalized with an illness caused by a South American parasite. Alec John Such took a fall off of his motorcycle which injured his bass playing hand, forcing him to develop a whole new way to hold and play his instrument. In 1997, John Bon Jovi landed lead roles in several movies. While he was free between filming different movies, John wrote what would become his second solo album, 1997's Destination Anywhere. A short movie of the same name was recorded around the record's release, based entirely on the songs from the record and starring John Bon Jovi, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon and Whoopi Goldberg. Tico Torres used the opportunity to further pursue his painting while David Bryan started writing and composing various musicals. In 1998, Richie Sombora released his second solo outing titled Undiscovered Soul. In 2012, the band members embarked on solo projects once again, meanwhile recording their What About Now? Returning to film composing for the first time since Blaze of Glory, John Bon Jovi wrote and recorded two songs for the Al Pacino film Stand Up Guys, while Richie Sombora recorded and released his third studio album, Aftermath of the Lowdown, and supported it with a short world tour in October 2012. As regards Tico Torres he focused on playing golf, by taking part in several tournaments and being captured by many different cameras while David Bryan made a short performance at Fantascrity, Carrara in May 26, 2012. Musical Style Bon Jovi's musical style has generally been characterized as hard rock, glam metal, arena rock and pop rock. The band's first four albums blended the glam metal and hard rock genres. Their first two albums used a heavier mixture of glam metal and hard rock while their follow-up which were Slippery When Wet and New Jersey featured a more mainstream commercialized mixture of glam metal and hard rock. They had shed the glam metal sound by their fifth studio album, Keep the Faith, and their sixth, these days, utilizing a more mature hard rock sound. Crush was characterized as far enough into pop rock to actually stand a chance of getting airplay, while Bounce was described as heavy, serious rock. Have a Nice Day was also characterized as being heavier than Crush. The band altered their sound dramatically in their next release, Lost Highway, blending influences from country music and country rock, a sound John Bon Jovi described as a Bon Jovi album influenced by Nashville. Bon Jovi returned to a more typical rock sound on the circle, which was described by all music as conjured by echoed, delayed guitars, shimmering keyboards, and spacious rhythms. Some of the band's influences are Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Van Hollen, The Beatles, Tom Petty and The Animals.


Hello and welcome to the Monday market update with me David Madden. Today's date is Monday the 13th of August 2018 and the time has just gone 10 40 British summer time Well the the story of the Turkish lira is that the biggest story in the news This this morning. There's a major sell-off in Asian equity markets overnight There's been a fairly sizable sell-off in European equities this morning And it's the same old story of the of the kind of the crisis surrounding the Turkish lira Overnight the Turkish near a drop to a new all-time low versus the US dollar and other major currencies But it has managed to roll back ever so slightly After the Turkish Center Bank announced it actually have an equity an equity injection To actually can ease things along in terms of the financial system So Turkish lira is off the lows of the session But it's still taking a in a battering of the last number of days weeks and months And it's essentially the same old story from from Friday Traders and investors are very concerned that European banks eurozone banks have exposure to To the drugs economy and also to Turkish banks and that could that could lead to a scenario or provide We could potentially see write-downs from eurozone banks or indeed Eurozone banks using excess cash as a buffer to actually prevent kind of shield themselves from potential fallout from the Turkish crisis And of course if eurozone banks are putting cash towards showing up their own balance sheet That means they can't put cash to work elsewhere in the form of lending out loans Mortgages car loans or short-term loans to to customers So that would that that itself would have a bit of a waning of a negative impact on the respective eurozone economies Take a look at the the week ahead The week ahead can be found on our website if you've got a CMC mark CMC markets calm And then on the news and analysis section you can find the week ahead article Today is going to be a fairly quiet day in terms of economic indicators and corporate updates But tomorrow is a is quite busy and then it gets a bit quieter towards the back end of the week So tomorrow on Tuesday out of China. We have retail sales and industry production also tomorrow morning We have German and your eurozone second quarter GDP On Tuesday and Wednesday from the UK. We have the CPI figures and then also the wages and unemployment data On Wednesday, we first have figures from Balfour BD On Thursday second quarter figures from Davida Also in Thursday second quarter figures from Walmart owner of Azteh and our Friday We have Europe eurozone CPI numbers coming out So take a look now a couple of major markets and see how things have been fairing Over over the trading session So the footsie 100 as it's obvious been it's been dragged lower as you can see here a couple of a couple of sell-off yesterday Or a certain yesterday a menace a Friday sell from Friday and a sell-off on Today's session, but in the ground scheme of things the footsie 100 is holding up relatively well The some of the calculated markets are in far worse shape than the footsie 100 As you saw here the votes 100 at a record high in May And we've been in a bit of a kind of a downward trend or a sideways range since then It wasn't too long ago that the footsie 100 was that I was at a multi-week high But given what's going on with the Turkish crisis We can see that the the market's drifting lower again to be fair And for the footsie 100 holds above this area here in around the kind of 7,500 or via this this area This this kind of price point here of seven thousand four hundred and eighty two Why would we remain north of that it is likely that we could see that the footsie arm hold on to its gains And stay in a fairly good shape if you do about to break below that level seven thousand five hundred or seven thousand four hundred eighty seven We could be looking at it back down toward this area here at seven thousand four hundred and twenty two And if you go south of there, we could be looking at that back down towards seven thousand three hundred But if we do about it to hold above This area here they kind of say seven thousand five hundred area We could be looking at it back up towards the recent highs of says just shy of seven thousand eight hundred in around They kind of seven thousand seven hundred and ninety or ninety four reaching and if you go beyond that We could be looking at it back up towards the seven thousand nine hundred area like I say in the Markets are in far worse shape than the footsie 100 as you can see here With a fairly sizable sell-off on Friday on the DAX and then also we're heading lower again So we're back to kind of level is not seen since late June on the DAX Notice how the DAX Spend a very little amount of time about this red line here the turn to moving average So even though even when did I she managed to retake the turn to moving average Which is kind of seen as a a fairly good problem But if I their markets there in good form or a weak form it didn't spend much time Above it, which is a fairly negative sign the market fell back below. That's been selling off aggressively in the wake of the In the wake of the truckage crisis. So the DAX is heading lower We can see a fairly steady increase in negative momentum So the momentum is with the seller is with the is with the bears if you continue to drive lower from here We could give it a good look at heading back down towards 12,250 and if you go south of that we could be looking down to the the late June low of in around 12,123 and if you go south of that the big cycle as you important 12,000 number they come into play if you did manage to bounce back from here Physicians could come into play in around this area here This particular line comes into play in around the kind of 12,600 area and if you go north of that Next to the keep my forward will be this red line here the turn the moving average which comes into play at 12,750 to and if you go beyond that we could really get to target in the July high and the late July high of 12,800 and 87 Turning attention out what's going on over in the United States the S&P 500 Has been dragged lower because kind of global sentiment as a whole is fairly sour But in the in the in the compared to Europe electric markets the S&P 500 is holding up fairly well So it wasn't that long ago that the S&P 500 only at the beginning of last week Was was that a multi multi-month highs at the highest level since February such as early February early January So we're talking about six a month highs on the on the on the S&P 500 So it gives you pretty good indication of how decent the markets been doing We can clearly see here from from early April has been a classic example of an upward trend higher highs and higher lows granted we managed to have them To drift a bit lower in the last few sessions We've seen a bit of an increase in negative momentum So a move to the downside is being confirmed by the increase in negative momentum So momentum is with the service for the time being but the grand scheme of things the market has been in fairly good shape over the past few months So even if you do not have to drift lower from here support might be found in around the 2800 area the psychological number and if you go below that we could be looking support coming to play at this area here 2791 notice how it acts as both resistance and also support a few occasions in recent weeks and months So it didn't fit so that area could actually be very significant again in the near term And it's only if you head south of that who looks back you see further losses if the market Hanks above holds above 7,000 2800 we could see the market heading back up towards the recent highs of 2864 ish, and then if you go beyond that we get me looking at retesting the old-time I Back in which was achieved back in January 2877 I'll take a look at the NASA 200 as well because it's the NASA 200 it's just been 12 of the last few months have been one of the kind of better We're looking at a deferment and stronger equity indices as managed to kind of weather the storm of the kind of geopolitical crisis is We've been going through and it has been dry lower by the by the prospects and not again But the prospect of a trade war with China, and it's also the trucker situation has as we don't wait on a bit But it's held up really well and that could be that could be the indicator of where we could see traders look for tech stocks Given that they have a recent track record of doing relatively. Well Comparing some others where there's sort of a geopolitical crisis taking place So once again, the NASA 100 has been really good shape essentially since kind of mid-march Kind of classic example of upper trend higher highs and higher lows It is worth pointing out though that the highway chief last week didn't actually take off the all-time high But I got quite close to it. I obviously had a couple of sell-offs Couple of down days in the last few sessions and see even if we do drift lower And the other massive 100 support might come into play at this blue line here at the 50 moving average Which are coming to play at 2762 notice how the journey moving average active support on a few occasions only in the last few weeks So it's been significant the past. It could be significant again in the future The market does like to continue. It's wider upward trend. We could be testing the 7,500 area. I think going beyond that Would obviously be kind of printing fresh new all-time highs and if the market is more all-time all-time highs that you print The market it will be indication of how bullish the market is and the more likely you are to continue continue on pressing other All-time highs because as I mentioned the market has been in a fairly solid upward trend since the middle of March Take a look now in the gold market the gold markets are taking a bit of a dent on the back of the rally in the US dollar The sell-off in the euro the euros has been sold off because of because of uncertainties that that's your zone could be exposed to Turkey And then adding to that this is generally can a fear of that's from the global markets of prompt traders to buy What they did to be safe haven assets such as the Japanese yen and the US dollar and there's been a fairly strong inverse relationship between Gold and the US dollar in recent months So the stronger the stronger the dollar is the week of gold is and vice versa as you can see today Gold matters to the edge of it lower again And I should take out the low of July last year It's we traded we traded out none as low as nearly 12 or two So now back to a level not seen in gold since March last year. It's a given indication That's actually how weak the gold market has been that being said they kind of additional Move to the downside we're seeing in gold aren't that high which tells me that we could see a bit of support coming to play In around the 1200 or 1195 area The moves to the downside have been very good small and incremental So the market you see it appears to be still in the downward trend that it's been in since April But it's just not taken taking off those kind of massive major that moves at a time. So We may kind of struggle we may see some fresh buyers come to the fold in around the 1200 or 1195 area But it's clearly in the downward trend. And if you do continue to do move south of 1195 We could be looking any back down towards 1180 and it can move to the upside in gold like to monitor resistance In round the kind of 11 11 to 15 or 11 20 region As I mentioned a talk about we saw a very decent rally in the in the US dollar in the in the last couple of us couple of sessions Take a look now at the euro sterling. So we had major sell-off in the in the euro only last only last week What we can see here in the euro is that it's managed to actually this area at 115 10 1 1 15 selecting a very decent area with support in recent months But it managed to complicate a smash through that So we're not going to heading back down to levels that season July last year So kind of over one year lows on the euro dollars are giving an indication about various sentiment is on the euro at the moment If you do continue to drift lower from here, we could be looking any back down towards the 112 50 area notice I would act that broad area region acted as a resistance And back in June last year So we may find some support coming coming at the one spot 12 50 area on the euro versus the US dollar Any way to the upside may encounter resistance in a list this area here The old support could become a new resistance So we could see resistance coming to play at again a one spot 15 or one spot 15 10 area on the euro versus the US dollar Last mark of look at now a pound versus US dollar Sturdy's been losing ground versus the US dollar since since April steady classic example of a downward trend The markets been steadily moving lower in recent session the markets been pushing lower There's been a steady increase in negative momentum So the push load in the in the pound versus US dollar has been confirmed by the steady increase in negative momentum So the momentum is with the sellers If you do continue to drive lower from here We could be looking any back down towards one spot 25 90 a level not not seen since Since mid to late June last year any moves to the upside in the in the pound versus the US dollar may run into resistance in around in around the 120 128 area or perhaps even up a high as that one spot 28 20 one spot 29 spot for apologies one spot 29 57 If you do see a bounce back in the pound versus the US dollar sport Listen make them into play in at once part 29 57. Well, that's all for me this week. Thank you very much
