We’ve been obsessed about aliens for a long time, but it really feels like in the last few years, the search is getting a lot more serious. We both have practical tools like the James Web Space Telescope, which allow us to search the atmospheres of other worlds. And then you’ve also got sort of an increased attention because of UAPs. You’ve got NASA, you’ve got the military, you’ve got the government looking into our aliens visiting us here on Earth. And you know, there’s no evidence that they are, but it’s an interesting question. And are we alone in the universe? Really is a scientific question that deserves an answer, and we will keep hunting for it until we find it. So, my guest today is Dr. Adam Frank. I’ve interviewed him many times in the past. He’s an author. He’s a scientist and a person who is sort of right at the heart of searching for techno signatures in the universe, trying to find evidence of alien civilizations beyond Earth. He’s got a new book called The Little Book of Aliens. And it really sort of covers the history of the search for aliens. Uh various ideas that people have and what the future might hold for our search for other life of any kind in the universe. So enjoy this interview with Dr. Adam Frank. Adam, when did we first wonder about aliens? Like when did that occur to us? Yeah. Uh a long long time ago. Um it’s really one of the oldest questions you can see humanity sort of arguing about. Um and in fact formally you can see the Greeks uh yelling at each other. Uh Aristotle had the opinion that the earth was unique particularly because he thought the earth was the center of the universe. But then Democrus and the um atomists held the position that the universe was made out of atoms and atoms were universal. Therefore there should be other planets with other life on them. So literally people have been arguing about this for 2,500 years. Occasionally they’ve burnt each other at the stake over it. So it’s been an issue that can get heated, no pun intended, or maybe a puns intended, but it’s a really it’s an ancient ancient human question. But like our modern conception of other planets around other stars with life forms existing, like when did that start to sort of creep into our collective consciousness, do you think? Yeah, that’s a good question and that you know it’s funny after my you know sort of 30 years of you know doing astronomy and sort of keeping the question of uh alien life on other planets in the back of my head um it’s only recently that I started to really with these last two books particularly the new book obviously the little book aliens um that I started to really look at the history of it and I think it’s around the 17th century after Newton and people started to get a better idea of how to do the physics of stars the physic at least you know just conceiving them as as other sons even if we didn’t really know what was powering the sun. Um you see like in the in the 16th century there is um a bunch of books that are written often with the title of the many worlds hypothesis or something along those lines where you see people actually thinking about stars and planets going around them and the possibility of life on them. So it’s really 1600s 1700s is you you get a birth of new what we might call alien uh optimism that there is the possibility of life out there. So uh that and that that you know maintains until you get to evolution the theory of evolution and then people start asking well is life really going to form on these other worlds and what’s remarkable is actually by the 1900 by the early 1900s because people thought astronomers thought that planets were going to be difficult to form people were pretty pessimistic about the possibility of life in the universe. Do people fundamentally misunderstand the Fermy paradox like what Fermy was really getting at? I I think well there’s you know what as I talk about in the book there’s really two different Fermy paradoxes and they get deployed in different ways. The first Fermy paradox is the one I think he actually meant when he was, you know, talking over lunch and suddenly, you know, blurted out where are they? And what Fermy realized that day was that even if you had a space fairing race that was moving at a tenth of the speed of light, could travel between the stars at a tenth of the speed of light, that they would be able to cover the entire galaxy, basically settle every world in the galaxy in a very short time scale relative to the history of the galaxy. So that’s what we call the direct firmy paradox. But the one that people get confused about is what we, you know, what I call the indirect firmy paradox. People have this idea that like every night astronomers are pointing their radio telescopes at the stars and searching for life and that we’ve never found any. That that we’ve done some kind of extensive search for signals of aliens and we’ve never found them. And that is completely wrong. And the and the reason it’s completely wrong is so mundane is that there’s never been any money to do those searches. So very little searching has been done. Um so that that’s really the that that’s the the problem with that one. So people think that we’ve searched and we haven’t looked and the qu the reality is we’ve never really really searched. Do you think that that Fermy understood how feasible it would be for an advanced civilization to settle the galaxy? You know what’s interesting about the Fermy paradox is probably Fermy never thought about it again after that lunch conversation. Yeah. Right. Um it was really heart in 1975. So this idea of the firmy paradox kind of floated around people you know were it was it was very much in the gray literature as we call it but then it was um Hart uh who in the 1975 who wrote a paper that sort of formalized the Fermy paradox as a paradox and Hart used it you know the logic of Hart’s uh reasoning uh which I describe in the book goes basically that look uh if in there’s so many stars there should be lots of intelligent life If even one of those species uh was able to propagate, you know, was able to travel through the universe, then they should have covered the entire univer or the entire galaxy by now and we don’t see anybody here. Therefore, there’s no other intelligent life. Like that was the b way he based his logic. So he certainly thought uh that it was possible to colonize to settle other worlds that uh and then there’s this idea of the Vonoyman probes that you know maybe it’s machines that are doing this. It doesn’t have to be biological critters. It could be just automated probes that are hopping from one uh solar system to the other consuming resources to build the next version of themselves and then hopping to the next solar system. So I think the people other people thought about this more uh more generally and you know the the Fermy parad that the direct fermy paradox does have some issues about it and we’ve written some papers I think you and I even talked about it one time um some of the paper that we did but it’s really the indirect firmy paradox that I think is the one that people misunderstand most of all because we’re just about ready to really search for life like now there’s finally funding and there’s a community and we have you know it’s not SEI anymore I don’t even really want to use that term SEI anymore because to me That refers to a one part of of what I would call technos signature science. That heart paper lives rentree in my brain for sure. That that is really his those arguments are devastating. Yeah. Yeah. And so like if if if there was a counterfactual and the aliens were inhabiting the cosmos, what would that look like? What would we see a as for a bustling cosmos? Uh we would probably see uh well that’s it’s that’s a really interesting question that we can ask like if there were a b you know if there really was life or many places then a would we expect to already be colonized? you know, would we expect to have would should we should we find ancient monuments or something ancient, you know, let’s um uh or should they be here right now, which of course if you’re into UFOs, you say they are here right now. Um so just a couple points on that. So as we discussed you that paper that we wrote a few years back where we simulated the the settlement of the of the galaxy we found that you there’s one question of how long it takes to to settle the solar system but then there’s the question of the steady state like once you’ve settled the whole or not the solar system the galaxy once you’ve settled the galaxy then what happens if every settlement has a finite lifetime which you know settlements nothing lasts forever right then you can end up big holes. You can have regions die off and they can remain unsettled for millions, hundreds of millions of years. That’s what we found. So, it’s possible that we’re living in a bubble that that you know, one way out of the Fermy paradox is we’re living in one of those unsettled bubbles and eventually they’ll come through again. You know, there might have been one here billions of years ago. And as we showed in that paper with Gavin Schmidt, there’s no way to tell if there was a civilization, a technological civilization here uh on Earth a billion years ago that may that lasted 10,000 100,000 years, all evidence would be gone. So that’s an important point when thinking about that the direct Fermy paradox. So to your question, what would it look like? That’s an interesting let’s assume that we live in one of these bubbles. So that’s why there’s no one here right now. Would we be able to tell that the the galaxy was bustling? um you might try and look for their communication signals. They’re, you know, you what you’re going to want to look for are inadvertent um uh indications that they exist. So, you know, maybe they’re using radio uh to communicate and maybe we’d be able to pick up their signals. Um maybe they’re using tight beam laser because that’s actually probably the best way to really communicate across, you know, large distances even across solar systems. Um cuz it you know radio if you’re beaming it out w to you know wide uh widely you have so much you need so much power to be able to still be heard a long way away. Uh so we might be able to pick up those kinds of things. We might be able to see their drives the propulsion whatever they’re using if they’re using these giant phased uh laser arrays to push solar panel or or light sails around. We might be able to see that. But it’s also possible that with the technology we have right now that we’re not sensitive enough to detect that. So it’s possible they could be everywhere except here. Uh but we don’t yet have the uh capacity to find it. But of course we are developing that technology so quickly that in 10 20 30 years maybe we would be able to detect a drive plume. But it’s been theorized that that the universe was habitable from about say 6 billion years ago. And so alien civil, you know, advanced civilizations have had a 6 1/2 billion year head start on us. So if there is a vibrant civilization, vibrant multiple civilizations of aliens in the cosmos and they are reaching, you know, they’ve had billions of years of technological progress to turn what is a wilderness of the cosmos into, you know, the the I guess the cosmos equivalent of a of a city, whatever is the end state of of settlement. What would that look like? Yeah. God, that’s cool. The the question though, but that so there there’s there’s a bunch of sub questions there that, you know, we take on in in in in my research group, we take on quite a bit and in the book I really try and unpack which is can you even have a contiguous civilization for billions of years? Right? So we we sort of have this assumption that civilizations, you know, become advanced and then somehow they’re they’re eternal. Um, and that part I really wonder about that that whether or not you can hold a single culture, right? Whatever civilization they’re going to have is is going to have some kind of culture, whatever version of that. And for billions of years, could you would it be one civilization or would it be a series that rise and fall Allah Isaac Azimov’s foundation? Um, yeah. Or or think about Baghdad, right? Like how many people have have set up in that region and built city after city on the bones of the previous city. Right. Right. And that’s exactly what I wonder about whether or not I mean a fully settled galaxy, something like, you know, in in in Foundation, you know, where Trantor is the imperial capital. Uh then yes, you would expect all all of these worlds to have been to have settlements on them or at least the ones that are economically viable, the ones that you can do something with. You probably are not going to settle on worlds where uh there’s nothing for you to do. Uh you know, life life the most important requirement of life is to keep on living. So these worlds have to be useful to them in what ways? And so this also raises the question of would they even after if a civilization lasts millions and it’s advanced would it even be biological anymore right would they even you know and if they’re not biological if they become uh um you know siliconbased or even if not they could become silicon based either by downloading their consciousness into that I’m not sure that’s possible or they just somebody creates AI and that’s what takes over would they even need planets anymore so That’s what’s so interesting about this question and again this is the kind of stuff I try and deal with in the book so people can see that when you start really thinking about this you got to push your imagination past you know science fiction is great because science fiction can really help us imagine the alternatives but it’s almost like you have to formalize the ideas in science fiction and systematize them to be able to evaluate which ones are more probable than others and what the physics consequences the physics biology uh consequence quences are of the different alternatives. So the idea that they’re for example that they’re only between the stars, they become they’re basically silicon and they’re only traveling between the stars. Would we have any indication that they existed if they never landed planet side? So these are you know these are the kind of questions we try and ask in my research group and the kinds of things I’m trying to explain to people in the book. I mean when we if you like take a car into a place like New York City that is a part of planet Earth that has been utterly reshaped to meet the needs of the civilization that lives there. What does that look like? Yeah. Now that’s interesting. So this is this idea this leads us to techno signatures, right? that that a a world that has been reshaped by its or not just a world like the everything a galaxy an entire the whole galaxy what what would a what would a galaxy modified for the needs of the advanced civilization it would you think would be something we could see what would we see well we might see Dyson spheres it might be that like some very large number of those stars have been harvested right that they have had um uh solar you know some kind of solar collector around them either Dyson spheres or Dyson swarms and for for your listeners who don’t know a Dyson sphere was this idea that came that Freeman Dyson came up with in 1960 very early on when he recognized that as a civilization progresses it’s going to need more energy and the best energy source that you had natural energy source that you have is a star. So perhaps advanced civilizations cover their stars or at least build spheres around these stars, the interior of which is covered with solar collectors of some form. So it so uh the idea of a of a civilization covering, you know, harvesting all of its stars energy. You can extrapolate to the next level and imagine a civilization that has access to all of its galaxies stars. So in that case you might see a galaxy that is luminous in infrared light uh without starlight without the visible starlight because these Dyson swarms are all the second law of thermodynamics tells us you can’t harvest energy without some consequence and that would be uh waste heat waste uh and which would mean glowing in the infrared. So that would be a possible uh consequence. And people like Jason Wright and others have been looking for uh uh Dyson spheres, the infrared signatures of Dyson spheres. And it’s interesting like with with Jason’s latest paper, he kind of dismantled the the original expectations of that. You know, the thought is well, it makes sense to build a sphere that is at the orbit of the Earth, but actually that’s not the most energyefficient, massefficient way to do it. In fact, you want to build something small close to the star, be efficient with your materials. And you and and another idea going around was whether you need to have shells that are at different distances harvesting the waste heat from each other. And his calculations were no. So just one tight sphere harvesting as much energy before the thing actually starts to melt, right? And you’re getting the maximum amount of energy out of that star with the minimum amount of matter invested. And like I think about this in my imagination like if a an advanced civilization maybe it’s AI wanted to optimize their reachable universe into whatever form gave them the most value they could possibly do what you know what would that look like right cuz then you’re moving stars you are tearing stars apart you are feeding stars to black holes to get the most efficient outcome uh you are using computing substrate at whatever is the right distance. You are moving planets to pack them into habitable zones. Like that seems dramatic in the way that flying to space on Earth, you look down at night and you’re like, “Okay, I see city lights.” Right. Right. It’s hard to miss. Yeah. And that’s the thing that kind that level of astroengineering uh is is extraordinary and how the degree to which any civilization reaches that. But I don’t think necessarily that we have to go there or you know I mean because one of the things that we have to do in the field is as I said try and systematize what the trajectories of civilizations are and that means you have to sort of lay out all the possibilities of technology and technological development and then what the consequences of those would be as well as the some sense of the social forms that would uh um that might mitigate that because it’s not clear that everybody would want to do that that would you know that we have this sense we live in this very interesting brief moment of human history where we’ve had this amazing acceleration right that that you know we’ve gone from the Wright brothers flying in 1903 to a helicopter on Mars in 2023 but you know most of human history was a much flatter uh development of technology and you can even see that now the fastest somebody could go an average person could go in 19 uh60 60 was about 500 mph on a jet plane. The fastest an average person can go right now is about 500 miles on a jet plane. Technology can definitely stall. So I think we have to be careful about uh this idea that you know it’s going to go on forever that there’s infinite amounts of technological progress which will give us infinite amount of god-like powers. I think it’s possible and that’s one trajectory but another trajectory is that things stall out and you have relatively stable forms of technology that are used to you know astroengineer or populate planets to or that planets have to enter into some kind of sustainable state with their the e with their biospheres. So all of those possibilities are the kinds of things that we have to understand when we try and imagine both the trajectories of civilizations but also what it is we’re looking for because we’re so close now to being able to look for it. I mean we can now JWST is right on the hairy edge of being able to detect say chlorofluorocarbons you know an industrial chemical in you know a trap on one of those trappist planets but I mean isn’t this kind of cognitive dissonance because like on the one hand let’s say the aliens have had a 6 billion year head start on us and then on the other hand we don’t see we clearly don’t see the evidence of them reshaping the universe at the vastest scale and then you say well be but maybe people don’t want to do do that. But then you say, “Well, but maybe the grabby aliens always want to.” And you go back and forth. And it feels to me like the universe that we see is whatever the universe can be at maximum. That we’ve reached our max. We’ve had 6 billion years. We’ve reached our maximalist state right now. We’ve seen whatever is possible in the same way that we have seen essentially the maximum amount of the spread of life on Earth. The Earth life’s everywhere. It’s it’s in the bottom of 10 km bore holes. It’s it’s trapped under the ice in Antarctica. It’s floating 30 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. It’s in every extreme environment that’s possible. Life has found a way to get in there and and exploit whatever it can, right? And and and so like on the one hand we say, “Well, we don’t see that. So maybe, you know, they just haven’t gotten around it and whatever.” And then on the other hand, people say, “Well, we sure can.” Like there’s no reason why we can’t. I let’s build our warp drives and let’s get on it. But it feels like like whatever is possible for us in the universe has already been tried and that’s our future. Yeah. I don’t I don’t think I you know that that doesn’t resonate with me a lot just because also the big assumption there is civilizations la civilizations last contiguously for billions of years. That’s the thing I’m probably most suspicious of. Um I think that that civil I don’t it’s not clear to me that you can get civilizations lasting for such long times and that there is this infinite uh expansion of technologies that there may really you know we already know like with the speed of light right the speed you know it’s it’s entirely possible that there’s no warp drive like sorry warp drives are just not possible we’d all like them to be possible but they’re just not and you think about that think about what that actually implies let’s just take that if warp drives are if you’re stuck with the speed of light then it’s actually becomes and and your biology is such that you don’t last for thousands of years then suddenly even even smallcale interstellar civilizations become very difficult and so this is something I really unpacked in the book because I found it really fascinating how do you have diplomacy when it takes a hundred years you know if it’s just you and a and a star that’s 100 light years away that’s your that’s the you know you have three star say you have three planetary systems 100 lighty years away every interaction ction takes 200 years. You send him a message like, “Hey, how you doing?” You know, 200 years later, good. You know, so it’s like the idea of a civilization that could marshall its forces that could um bind itself together to to to carry out activities together becomes really difficult to imagine how that might happen. So that’s why the thing that the reason why that doesn’t resonate with me so much, this the idea that you’re you’re uh asking for, though it’s entirely possible, right? because we could talk about the ways it would be possible, but is that I really question what it means to be a longived civilization and and I’m not sure you get one longived civilization and whether or not you can really have interstellar truly interstellar civiliz everybody’s a one-off a planet oneoff you know but you look at a place like London you know before it was London it was Londinium and before that it was a settlement like it’s a useful place people have been improving it as a location and then various civilizations have been using that improved location over time. So you may not get one continuous civilization, but you are at least getting an imp overall improvement of the environment or a changing of the environment by these these people. So I mean for me it it feels like there must be some fundamental reason that we haven’t discovered yet why expanding beyond our star system makes sense. And like the arguments that people make about like in the future you’re going to turn all of Jupiter into Computronium and you’re going to, you know, and then in fact it’s the lag that kills you. Like as soon as you have to spend a second of lag that’s, you know, then the alien supercomputers are going to be losing on their online gaming and they’re not going to stand for that. And so they’re just not going to want to to build any kind of compute substrate that that has ping times that are just too long. they they’re not willing to leave the system because like who wants the lag? That’s that’s terrible. That that that feels to me like a reasonable explanation that that everyone will always realize that it’s actually best to stay home. Yeah. And I think that’s you know and I can see that happening on different levels. It’s best to stay home because really leaving home is super expensive and very difficult and you know you lose contact with them almost immediately, right? they they you send a century ship to um Alpha Centuri or whatever and they start a civilization and then that civilizations drift. They become very different from each other. So it’s not like you’re you know the um the the United Colonies or the United Planet, United Federation of Planets. each one becomes its own separate thing and has its own separate uh so I think that that’s in I consider that to be a real possibility that um it’s just so you know um um interstellar travel may just be really difficult so you may have you know the whole galaxy may be full of civilizations but they’re not interstellar civilizations they’re interplanetary like you look at our own our own future right the next should we make it through climate change and all the other things that we have to deal with I can imagine the every nook and cranny of the solar system being inhabited, right? We wrote this paper a little while ago asking about could you take asteroids and spin them up and and then live on the inside of them. So, you know, that’s I think that’s entirely feasible and that’s something that may be possible in a few hundred years. But so, so you can imagine that solar systems get completely inhabited and there’s lots of ways to find evidence techno signatures from from solar system engineering. Uh there’s an idea that we’ve been exploring called service worlds that you know if you want to harvest a lot of energy don’t put don’t cover half the earth with solar panels cover the moon with sever solar panels because you’re not using the moon right or that’s where you put your dangerous u industry and such. So you know there may every every civiliz every every um system that has a technological civilization go look at the planets that or the moons that that you know those are the ones to focus on. That’s where the industry is going to be. So I can it’s it’s easier for me to conceive of lots and lots of solar systems than that are each h inhabited then and then a galactic empire. We’ve already found the best planet in the universe for us earth. You mean that earth is earth is yeah well no I think there’s probably I mean I wouldn’t imagine I people talk about these sort of super earth or super habitability. So I’m not sure that we we found the best one for us, right? Yes. Uh yeah. And we just recently wrote a paper Amado and I just wrote a paper about oxygen that maybe you know for technology you really need an oxygen-rich atmosphere because without it you’re not going to be able to have combustion and without combustion how do you get that was a really interesting paper. I I love that kind of thing where you just someone just like, “Well, what about this?” And you’re like, “Oh, yeah.” Yeah. You know, the octopuses are going to have a hard time starting fire underwater. That’s right. Right. Water worlds. So, that’s what’s I mean, I can imagine a universe that is full of life, that is teeming with life, where, you know, every, you know, every liquid moon, you know, every Europa has intelligent squids doing intelligent squid things. but that we don’t have that the interstellar travel may be the really hard part and that’s isolated and that’s difficult but that life is popping up everywhere. Yeah. They’re they’re banging the rocks together and just nothing, no spark. Um so now you referenced this earlier on. You said, you know, people are thinking that maybe the people who believe in UFOs think that aliens are coming to us and that from Paradox Solved, aliens are coming here all the time. uh and there has been a real resurgence lately in this. Do you think there’s any there there? um at currently there’s no there there in the terms of of actually having data you could use right as um Mike Turner the you know one of the great particle physicists once said to me said you know with a really good scientific project you put a quarter in and you get a dollar out and the problem with UFOs is you put a quarter in and the quarter’s gone right so what we have is we have lots of stories you know often by people who you know there’s you have no reason to think that they’re lying uh or you have fuzzy blob pictures but the problem is none of those can you build a scientific theory that you you can then scaffold the next question. Right? In science you don’t just answer a question be like well we’re done that you know almost immediately your answer to that question becomes the technology that you use to answer the next question. And up to now UFOs the you know has has been a mix of narratives people seeing things fuzzy blob pictures conspiracy theories. Roswell in particular, you know, I have a whole chapter on Roswell. I went and I read the Roswell books and it after a while pretty quickly I was like, “This is a mess, right?” Um, you know, and then hoaxes, pure on hoaxes. And there, you know, Roswell has a few of those. That that very famous 1990s show, uh, Alien Autopsy. Um, I don’t know if you do you remember that one. It was ad, uh, Riker, Commander Riker was the was the narrator, and I was so disappointed in him for that. And that turned out to be a total hoax, right? It was the whole thing was filmed in some guy’s living room in Brixton, England. So, um you know, up to now, I don’t think there’s anything there there. The the narratives about the military has, you know, alien spacecraft in the uh in their garages. We’ve heard this forever, right? So, you know, in the book, I talk about um one of the first reports that came out on UFOs in the ‘ 50s. the the uh the leader of that the military leader of that uh I think it was a I think it was a captain afterwards he published a book you know after I mean after he uh retired he published a book and said there there was this report this top secret report called the estimate of the situation which claimed that aliens were or that UFOs were alien spacecraft no one’s ever found the report like after digging and digging you know the report so it’s like and the problem with this is that if you’re a scientist it just looks like a morass of of speculation and stories that you can’t do anything with. But the difference that’s happening now is I think thanks to the pilots, I think those pilots are who, you know, they’re they’re reporting what they saw. Um that there’s there’s an in there’s the kind of interest in it that may now lead to some real scientific investigation and we’ll see where that leads, right? We want to be that investigation has to be agnostic. Uh and we will see where where it leads. And I personally, you know, if there was good solid data that that linked the, you know, that that had a link between the data and the claim that these things are behaving in ways that no uh human technology can reproduce. I’m open to to changing my mind. That’s the beauty of science is it shows you how to change your mind. But at this point, it’s a, you know, it’s still a mess. And there’s really, there is nothing that out there that would warrant the conclusion that we’re being visited by extraterrestrials right now. With all of this interest both from governments as well as the military as well as NASA perhaps, you know, begrudgingly being brought into this. Um, there’s going to have to be like to get more information, more data. there’s going to have to be increased amounts of transparency, but also potentially new methods of searching. This starts to overlap into some of the other thinking that you’ve had over the years, which is like, you know, here’s some ways to look for stuff in the solar system. Here’s some ways to look for ancient civilizations on Earth. So, what do you think would be a productive way to get some serious evidence about the presence of alien civilizations here in the solar system? Yeah, I think that that’s a great question and I have a whole chapter in the book that sort of details, okay, you want to do science on UAPs, here’s what you have to do. And the important thing for that is to, you know, you’re not going to be looking to answer the question, are there aliens on Earth? You’re going to be looking to collect data about UAPs. You’re looking, you’re just looking to collect data and then analyze that data in a way that gives you the ability to uh determine the performance characteristics, right? And then from that, you’re going to have to then try and draw conclusions about is this human technology, is this not human technology. So, what you’re, you know, there’s really three options. You can build uh groundbased sensors looking up. You can put satellites that look down and you can also mount things on uh aircraft and maybe you want to do all three. Uh but the important thing and that people really especially in the UFO community often don’t understand is that unless you have fully characterized the instruments, you don’t know what you’re getting. Right? This is the problem with the radars, the military radars, is that you know unless I know when was the last time that radar was uh refurbished, what’s I need the entire history of the thing. I really need I need the machine itself and I need to have built it myself or else I just can’t trust it. And this is exactly what we do in astronomy, right? The J James Webb Space Telescope, we understand everything about its behavior. We understand how it responds to infrared light when the telescope is at 20° and we understand how it responds to infrared light when it’s at 80°, right? We know everything about it. That’s the only way that we can link the data. We can be sure of the data and that we can then link the data to a claim or a conclusion. And UFOs are no different. It’s not like UFOs get a pass on this. And so we’ll need to build those kinds of instruments uh and deploy them. And I think that’s probably going to be coming soon. I think, you know, the public is interested in this. And so, you know, we’ll we’ll do that work. We may learn some really interesting things even if we don’t learn anything about uh life in the universe. Um but that’s the only really way to do it. And the important thing to not notice is that let’s say let’s say we did all that and we found that there were certain objects that were making right-hand turns at Mach 500, right? Something that really, you know, a human powered technology can’t do. Well, what’s the what what do you do now? Like that would be stunning. And what do you do next? Well, the only thing you can do next is more science, right? Because it wouldn’t tell you what it was. It wouldn’t tell you where it was from. It would just tell you like, wow, this thing is behaving in a way that human technology can’t produce. So, you know, like I said, that’s the example of good science, right? You put a quarter in and now a dollar comes out. You did this, you found something extraordinary, which would be mind-blowing, but then that, you know, you don’t stop there because you still wouldn’t know what it was. And, you know, then you have to ask, do I try and shoot one down? You know, do I try and capture it? Uh, you know, or do I just keep trying to do, you know, now I develop the next level of sensors that can, you know, tell me the next level of detail about it. When you talk about life in the universe and one of the possibilities is that we are alone but for most people that is like emotionally they literally just can’t wrap their heads around that. Um how do you think it might be reasonable to think that we are actually alone and or like why do you think people get that response? Uh well, I think it, you know, it’s entirely I I’m an alien optimist and and I want to also note for me it’s just as profound if we found a biosphere, a microbial biosphere on an alien world as if we find a civilization. Like I don’t really care, you know, cuz either way it’s profound because the thing is is that uh um life is so different from non-life. like, you know, living systems are so entirely different that we just want to know whether or not life itself is is an accident. You know, that it only happened here and that’s it, right? Cuz that that would be a stunning stunning possibility and and kind of weird and depressing in a lot of ways. Um so if we just found one example of life elsewhere even if it was just microbial that would actually if we find one example then there’s probably other example means we’re not an accident and there’s probably other examples even if they’re you know in other galaxies or whatever but it and because life is so creative then to me all bets are off that you know who knows where somewhere life has done amazing things. Um, but let’s say even that’s not possible. Let’s say that we really are an accident. That would be stunning. That would really be I, you know, and I think I I you know, I would have a hard time wrapping my mind around that. Um, if we searched and searched like obviously, you know, you kind you’re not going to be able to conclude that in 30 years, but let’s say we had 500 years of searching and we simply never found any evidence of any other biospheres, of any other uh activity, any other life anywhere else. Um you know on the one hand it would mean that we would really need to cherish like I I think ethically it would change everything that you know the killing of like on some level everybody needs to become a vegetarian from that point onward right because that means life is so rare and so sacred and so important that we have to do everything we possibly can to maintain it and then you know in some sense interstellar travel or the the settlement of other worlds I think becomes imperative to spread life if we’re the only life there is. You know, I take it as life is a good life is important. Uh I would say that you know then you know uh yeah everybody the conclusions everybody has to be a vegetarian and we absolutely have to start settling the stars. Yeah. I say trees are better than rocks, right? Yeah. Yeah. And and it and and that if we are truly alone then boy did we mess up. Did we mess up if we didn’t get off this planet and ensure that life could spread across the universe? Right. Right. You know, the way I’ve always looked at when people talk about settling Mars or settling the solar system, you know, some people have this idea that it’s unethical to, you know, to settle Mars. I really disagree with that. I mean, um, I mean, obviously, if there’s life on Mars, then we have to be super careful. But, you know, it’s not us settling Mars. It’s not human beings settling Mars. It’s the biosphere. It’s Earth biosphere. We’re the agent of the biosphere that’s going to be sending a green tendril out to Mars to expand it. So, you know, the whole history, as you pointed out, the whole history of Earth’s biosphere is just covering everywhere, getting any any nook and cranny on the planet life has spread to, and we should see the rest of the planets. That’s exactly, you know, we’re just the we’re just the agents of the biosphere for that. There have been proposed dozens of ways to search for techno signatures and you’ve been involved in many of the meetings that have helped figure out those ideas. There’s some master list kicking around that I really want to get my hands on, but apparently it’s not ready yet. Yes, it’s not ready yet. Yeah, but it will be soon, I think. Please send it to me when it’s ready. Uh what what do you think best bang for the buck? If you had to go all in on one technique, where would you invest? If you had to push all the chips in, what would be the single technique that you think could give us the best bang for the buck? Well, I really think it’s it’s it’s atmospheric techno signatures. It’s things associated with looking at planets, right? Because the great thing about atmospheric tech and you know atmospheric is one particular find, but I would I would say planetary, right? looking for in that first famous meeting in 2018, uh, what I called metabolic te techno signatures, techno signatures associated with a, um, with a civilization just going about its business, right? Because in the early days of SETI, because of the requirements of radio uh uh messaging or radio technology, what you really required was somebody sending you a message, somebody pointing at you with a big radio telescope and pumping lots of energy into a message or a beacon, maybe it’s not even a message, you know, aimed at somebody. And that never really made a whole lot of sense to me. It’s the it was the only thing they could do. So it was brilliant and it was pro, you know, provocative work, but I think it’s much better just to go find aliens doing what aliens are doing. And so that requires looking at planets and that’s what we can do now. We can look at alien planets, which is where aliens are probably going to live. Um, and just look for them going about their civilizationing business. So go ahead. Do they know we’re here? Uh, they probably could. they, you know, I mean, certainly if you were looking at, if you had telescopes that of the kind that we’re getting soon, like even with JWST, uh, you could, you would know that Earth has had a biosphere for billions of years. Earth would have been Earth has been recognizable as a habitable or as excuse me as an inhabited planet for a long long time. And for the last Yeah. 100 years or so. If you’re within a 100 light years, you’re you can see that uh we’re ch we’ve been changing the planet. We’ve been we’ve been adding techno signatures to the planet and there are tens of thousands of stars within 100 lighty years of us like it’s uh I think that number is pretty good. Yeah, it has 60,000 I forget the number exactly. Um yeah, so there are definitely there’s there’s there’s worlds that have you know that are within the range to see like oh oh yeah, look the city lights the back, you know, the back side of the planet is lighting up. Oh, okay. You know, if we get an email from the aliens, should we open it? That isn’t it? You know, yeah, we should open it up, but I’m not sure we should respond, right? I mean, you know, that should we even open it? Like, why? Cuz you think there’s a virus in it or something that uh in like what’s the easiest way to to deal with a potential rival? Send them instructions for a machine that will destroy their planet. Will destroy them? Yeah, I think we should open it up. We should definitely I mean I don’t think I there’s no way we could not open it up, right? We’re just too curious. Yeah, that’s what they’re real We’d have to be real careful about um about what we did with it. Yeah. I wouldn’t sure you know I mean like it’s like you know getting email, right? You know, but is what’s attached to it? Right. That’s the Do we open the attachment that maybe Yeah. Do we open the attachment? Yeah. Yeah. Um you know, this goes to that whole the dark forest hypothesis which I take seriously. I think I you know I I I’m not a big fan of medi for that reason. I think we should really be careful about because you know it’s one thing to say yes we are visible. Um but you know there’s lots of planets in this or lots of stars in the sky. It’s not clear that anybody’s looking for us directly or that’s different from sending a giant or putting up a giant flashlight or sending up a flare to announce your presence where you really tell everybody hey look hey everyone we’re here. Um I think that’s something that we should be careful about because we often have this idea that like oh aliens they’re peaceful they’re wonderful but uh that’s anybody’s guess. I mean it’s not clear you know intelligence may be associated with being a predator right that’s certainly for us it’s been you know being it’s the predatory species that are the most intelligent often. So yeah I think one one should be careful there could be wolves among the stars. A hippopotamus isn’t a predator. It will mess you up. So that’s a good point too. Yes. Great. Large grazing civilizations might also have their own problems that we need to deal with. Yeah. Yeah. I think about that. Um do you think they’ll look like us? No. No. And that’s one of the things. So that’s why especially with the you know in the book in writing the book I want I was really also aiming at people in the UFO community because I get why people you know why people who are I get why you know whether you’re in the UFO community are just really interested. I get it. Look, my whole life is about, you know, studying life in the universe. It’s super exciting, but you know, you always have to engage in the science because the science has a lot to tell you, right? And so this idea that the grays, you know, the little the little humanoid looking aliens, when you look at evolution, and we know a lot about evolution, it’s really really hard to imagine that on another planet, you would get all the accidents because, you know, evolution is a battle between um convergence and contingency. Convergence says, look, yeah, if there’s air, you know, if you’re living on a planet with an atmosphere, you’re going to get some version of wings. Wings are a great way of, you know, some evolution will stumble on wings, but it doesn’t tell you what the wings are going to look like or how many wings or what version, you know, we’re just talking about surfaces, surfaces that air can flow over. So the idea that you’re going to get So that’s that’s convergence and contingency are all the accidents, all just the, you know, a snail is sliding along and then a rock rolls over it and it dies and that’s the end of that lineage. Uh so the idea that you’re going to get all the accidents that you need to reproduce a head on shoulders with arms, you know, two arms and two legs, it’s just not going to happen or it’ be it’s so improbable that you would get this kind of configuration. You know, the problem with that view is it doesn’t do nature service. Look at all the insane varieties of life we have where everybody comes from the same last common ancestor. If you start off with a different lineage of an entirely different lineage of life, you know, it’s just not going to look like like us. So, I would I would put a lot of money down that not only are we the only humans, we’re the only humanoids. Um, and we should expect to be if we find when we actually find aliens and get to, you know, meet them, we should expect to be um surprised and and grossed out probably, but also like we’ll get it. Like I think we see that alien and we go, “Oh, I get it.” Right? That we’ll we’ll see them and it’ll make sense. Like we’ll know we’ll they have a way of seeing the electromagnetic spectrum. They have a way of of encountering sound waves. They have a way of of interacting with their environment, manipulating their environment. And we also know, you know, if we know where they came from, then they’re how they function will makes be apparent to us. We go like, “Oh, I get it.” Like I I never imagined it, but I get it. That’s exactly what it is. like definitely you you know life will be constrained by the laws of physics and chemistry and the logic of Darwinian evolution right I think those things those are all going to be universal but the p you already just look on earth and you look at the path that can take you know it’s there’s an infinite amount of variety nature is so much more creative than we are and um it’s kind of obsessed with crabs though does lot a lot of walking sideways right a lot of a lot of tentacles too um but uh Um, you know, it’s been said that if you even even if with Earth, if you went back a few billion years and rewound, you know, reround the tape and reran it, Earth’s evolution, not there’s not a single creature, single species alive today that you would that would still be that would be here. It would have just would have had it off in a different direction. There’d be fins, there’d be wings, there’d be legs, but it wouldn’t look anything like what we what we have. So, Adam, what are you obsessed with right now? Uh, Starfield, the video game. Have you played No Man’s Sky? Uh, no I haven’t. I played it when it first came out when it was not that so much better now. So there’s like Elite Dangerous Dangerous for So Elite Dangerous I played for a long time. But um I’m really I’m really digging. It took me a while to get into Starfield, but I’m really digging it. But that’s not I don’t think that’s the question you’re asking. I’m I I find that a perfectly satisfying answer. But no, I was interested. So like you know I want a sneak preview of what paper you’re working on next is my sneaky way of asking this question. Yeah. Yeah. So the so on one one whole field I’m been taking on or working in is the idea of just what is life like what separates living things from non-living things. So we got a grant recently um from the Templeton Foundation to study what’s called semantic information. So look at let’s look at life from you know this is um like Sarah Walker’s perspective. I saw people just like yesterday about this two years ago cuz our paper our paper just came out and then today I have something in um uh I wrote I wrote a piece on it for big think. Okay. So uh the idea that like you know you want to look at life not as a thing but as a process and information is the most what really separates this the idea is what really separates living from non-living systems is the the use of information. So black holes have information but they don’t use it. They don’t process it for any of their own ends. They hoard it. That’s a big That’s a So, we published our first paper just came out yesterday. Okay. That’s the one that I saw. I didn’t real I didn’t notice your name on it, but I didn’t look it carefully. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a really exciting It’s just a first step. We’re just, you know, sussing out this idea of we’re using um um a paper by Colchesky and Walpert from 2018 where they formulated the idea of a theory of semantic information and now we’re starting to apply it. So, that I’m really interested in. Um, we’re also working on a paper to ask, this is a great question about techno signatures. How long will the lunar lander be visible on the moon surface? In other words, if somebody came a billion years ago and, you know, dropped like maybe a big monolith or something on the moon, how long till just micrometeorites, it’s called gardening, that’s what they call it, gardening, would just wear it away. So, you know, for solar system, we’re just doing those calculations now. How long would something last? Um, so, uh, that’s another project that I’m working on. Do you think that, you know, your Silaran hypothesis about Earth, the math is different on the moon where we don’t have the same kinds of of weathering that’s happening on the moon? Cuz I’ I’ve, you know, I’ve heard people make the proposal that the best place for us to do a a core sample is on the moon. like dig down a couple, you know, through several hundred meters of regalith, bring it all back home and slowly you’ll get you’ll get a record of every solar flare, every gamay burst, every supernova and in theory every melted monolith. Right. Right. Uh that is exactly right. I mean, right, the earth weathering, you know, you have a few million years before pretty much the whole surface is re, you know, reworked. But on the moon, stuff’s going to sit there forever. So that’s why nobody ever done the calculation. people have done, you know, there’s lots of calculations about weathering of the regalith of the lunar soil, but nobody said, “Okay, put a plate there. Put a metal plate, you know, 3 in thick, um, and ask how long is that going to be there before it’s sort of broken apart so finely that you couldn’t see it.” Cuz people have proposed doing we have all these highresolution maps of the moon. Let’s do machine learning and see if they, you know, have can the machine find anything unusual. The machine has a no problem finding the lander. you know, you can you can give it to a computer and it’ll instantly identify, hey, that’s weird. So, that’s what we’re trying to find out. So, that’s a project that will be coming along. Yeah. And that idea that searching for anomalies like someone did something similar with they fed like the entire dark energy survey database to a machine learning algorithm and said, “Identify all the galaxies that you can and then but also tell us everything you couldn’t identify.” And those are interesting and in and there is boundless to be new things, new kinds of objects that people have never proposed before out there in the universe. It’s just a matter of it’s it’s needed in the haystack. So So the book again, the excuse me, the book again, your book, the book, the book. Did it give you a copy? Oh, there we go. The little book of aliens on sale um October 24th. Uh, it’s, you know, everything you need to know about everything there is to know right now about life in the universe. So, I hope people will be interested in buying it, including UFOs and UAPs, which, you know, I also deal with, you know, trying to look at how how science will look at them. Wonderful. Well, thanks, Adam, for taking the time to chat with me today. And good luck with the book and good luck with uh finding aliens. Great. Thank you. I’ll let you know if we find any. Perfect. Now, I’m going to talk a little bit more about sort of conclusions that I got from this conversation with Adam. But first, I’d like to thank our patrons. Thanks to David Richards, Mark Anstis, Antonio Luffy, Lara, Justin Cable, Vlad Shiplin, George Andrew M. Gross, Jeremy Matter, Josh Schultz, and Jordan Young who support us at the Master of the Universe level, and all of our other supporters on Patreon. I think we’re at a great time where we’ve had all of this speculation about whether or not there are aliens in the universe and it’s been an argument and for a while it was sort of considered something that you just don’t propose to NASA to actually go look for aliens. But in 2018 the dam broke and people started to accept or recognize SETI and just the search for techno signatures in the universe as a legitimate form of scientific study. And there are dozens of ideas that have proposed. We could see time being used on the James Webb Space Telescope to search for bio signatures and techno signatures in the atmospheres of other planetary systems. And so we are now moving into this era where what was before kind of a philosophical question, a the kind of conversation you’d have over beers with your buddies to a proper scientific question. And and of course it’s one of the most fundamental questions that we can possibly ask. Are we alone in the universe with either way that question gets answered, it is important for us. Now I’ve talked to Adam Frank several times in the past about this and other topics. And so I thought if you want to sort of continue the conversation with Adam uh one more recently we talked about that idea that he mentioned about turning asteroids into space habitats that you could take an asteroid spin it up and live on the inside of this Taurus that you’ve got. It’s a fascinating concept and could give us a practical way to live in the solar system. The other interview that I did with him was a few years ago and sort of talking about that idea of how civilizations might spread across the Milky Way. When you consider civilization starting and stopping, could we be living in a just in a gap in the spread of a galaxywide empire? And it’s sort of an interesting conversation. So enjoy both of those interviews here on the channel. All right, thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time.

Wealthy Minds Training 391
Hello everyone, William here and welcome to this wealthy minds training session. I hope you’re all doing great today and I have to say that I am really pumped about today’s webinar. But before we dive into it, please give me a one in the chat if you can listen to me loud and clear. All right, getting ones. Thank you for that. All right, so um make sure to stay until the very end just before we we talk about the actual training. Make sure to that that you stay until the very end with us for you to qualify for the live attendee bonuses. You’re going to be getting a point added to uh uh the prizes area so that you can access more materials there. You will be uh participating in the cash giveaway and you’re going to be getting my special and new training guide on how to run your marketing campaigns in 2025. uh and how to do it in a compliant way because cuz compliance is a big thing right now. People not only have ads rejected on many platforms but also they have accounts being banned and uh you know compliance issues they are just increasing over time and some people even think about giving up on internet marketing as a whole because they can’t figure out how to deal with those things. So this guide is a mandatory one for you to have and for you to read. Of course, it’s not a long one, but it’s a straightforward actionable one that will help you understand how you can avoid that type of problem with your campaigns. Now, um that being said, let’s talk about the amazing training we have in store for you today. So, today we’re going to be talking about AI and how you can use AI to generate more leads to generate more sales and make more money on the internet. And to do that, you don’t have to have any technical skills and you’re not going to have to have an existing business or product of your own. If you if you do have one, it’s incredible. Awesome. But if you don’t, you’ll still be able to uh benefit from this. All right. So, uh this is going to be a really a a contentpacked training session. And I am sure that everyone who stays until the very end will qualify for the bonuses, but also and most importantly will absolutely love the valuable and actionable information that our guests will be sharing here today with all attendees. Now, the reason why this is probably one of the most important trainings on AI for marketing that you will ever see is simply because what you’re going to see and learn here today is the state-of-the-art when it comes to AI automation. Uh when it comes to AI adding more efficiency to your business and also making your business more hands-free. And I’m not just saying this as a cliche type of thing. Uh because our guest today, his name is Matt Light. Uh and there’s a chance you’ve heard of him cuz he’s quite famous. Well, just so you have an idea on Matt’s curriculum. I’m not going to go through everything here now because of course that would take a lot of time, but Matt, he works with high-end clients. I’m talking about people like Grant Cardone, for example. Also, Matt uh he was hired by the number one bot platform in the world, Many Chat. Some of you may have heard of it, to build their bot. And Matt has worked with uh directly with Facebook to improve Facebook Messenger for leads. So, we’re talking about like the number one authority in the world when it comes to AI automation. And this is the guy not only marketers like and and and sales people like Granker Dun go to but also the guy companies like uh Facebook and many chat go to when they need to improve something uh that’s related to their their AI chatting or automation. So uh yeah now you have an idea on what kind of content you’re going to be getting here today. And uh I can also guarantee to you that it’s very actionable content and it’s uh something that will directly benefit you and your business. If you need to generate more conversions, if you struggle with getting conversions with your campaigns, if you need to increase back-end sales, if you need to get more leads, if you need to get more calls, if you need to get more people on webinars, this is powerful stuff and you definitely don’t want to miss any parts of this training session. All right. So, uh, now, uh, Matt, you there? Yep, I’m here. Great. So, I’m going to be here taking notes and we’ll jump back on a little later, but, uh, the mic is yours. Well, thank you. I appreciate it, man. That means so much coming from you. We’re really going to waste zero time. We’re going to jump right into this thing. So, let me go ahead and get this turned on. All right. What’s happening? Matt Lights here. Welcome to the training. We are going to waste zero time today. This is how to use AI to generate more income. Zero tech skills needed. And uh this photo here was actually created with AI. That’s me. Um AI was nice enough to fix my teeth. Thank you, AI. Um and that’s our mascot, Bob the Bot Builder. So I want to show you something kind of cool just for fun here to show you the kind of cool stuff you can do with artificial intelligence. I told it to make a uh an image of me and Bob super excited. So, if that doesn’t tell you how excited I am, I don’t know what does. Um, so we’re going to tell you not only the tool that we use to make the image, but also the tool that we use to animate it. But the first thing I want to do is just, you know, kind of commend you for being here. Uh, Mark Cuban knows a lot more about business than I do. Obviously, you said artificial intelligence. If you don’t understand it, learn it because you’re going to be a d otherwise you’re going to be a dinosaur within three years. So, I commend you for being here. Um, that really says a lot about you. So, I want to make sure to really um respect your time and give you as much value as I possibly can. So, what I’m going to teach you are the top three fastest and simplest new income streams using AI, the perfect prompt that will instantly multiply your productivity, the best AI tools to use to maximize your results in minimum time. And by the way, um the uh the tools, actually at the end, um we’re going to send you a copy of our 250 best tools. But while we’re on this training, I want to make sure to give you some of the best of the best. Um how to create viral videos and million-doll ads using AI video. Um you’re going to see an AI powered chatbot, aka a bot, trained in 3 minutes or less with your own eyes. Um, we’re going to get ChatGBT generating sales and booking appointments for you. So, you’ve probably used Chat GBT, but you’ve probably never had it actually working for you 24 hours a day. Um, and last but not least, how to start getting results in as little as 24 hours, even if you’re brand new to this stuff. All right, so that’s what I’m going to deliver. Um, and if you’re wondering, Matt, I’ve seen other AI trainings, Matt, how is this different? Well, first of all, like I said, it works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. All right? So, most people use AI like the picture on the left, right? You’re, you know, you’re at your computer, your laptop, or on your phone, and then AI helps you get things done. And I don’t mean to dog on that because if you’re effectively using AI, it’s like you can get two to three to four to five times more stuff done than you can get done without AI. and we’ll teach you how to do that even if you haven’t done that yet. But how we use AI here at Bot Builders is very different. All right, so AI is doing the work. So imagine 24 hours a day, no matter what it is that you’re doing, maybe you’re into disco or flamco or whatever that is, right? But you can be leaving living your life doing what it is with your family or vacation. And we’re going to show you how to have AI working around the clock for you. All right. Second way it’s different is we use something called hybrid AI because a lot of times people go well you know what’s better you know AI or people and the answer is when you put the best of both worlds together you’re going to get the best results and admittedly you know at this point AI could probably do 99% of things better than I can but there’s some things you know when it comes to writing things to sell for example I’ve probably written things I think the I’ve probably sold somewhere between between us and our clients maybe a hund00 million not that much but in that range right I’ve sold a lot of stuff AI can’t write as well as I can’t so when we take my writing and AI and we merge it together we’re obviously going to get much better results um third way it’s different is it’s already proven um we’ve been in this business since 2018 so I know there’s a lot of pop-up AI gurus all over the place um we’ve helped people of all walks of life all around the world, all experience levels utilize this stuff. So, this isn’t like our first rodeo. Um, and you can just trust that if it’s worked for others, hopefully it’ll work for you as well. Um, so just to confirm that you’re in the right place, this is for you. Either if number one, you already have a business and you need a way to generate more leads, you need to generate more sales, and you want to work less. That’s the ultimate goal here. Um, or you’re somebody who’s looking for something new. Um, something that can be immediate, you can do from home or from anywhere in the world. And obviously the goal here is to be very profitable. All right. And just to kind of give you a little bit of an illustration, this is um this is our largest merchant account. We have others and what this one is by far the biggest. And just to show the impact that artificial intelligence has had. This is about when the whole AI thing kicked in and when we took Chat GBT and some of the other tools that we’re going to teach you here in a little bit to a whole another level. Now I want to give big old fat disclaimers here. This is clearly not typical. And most importantly, I I want you to note that there’s a lot of months where we weren’t making a million dollars a month, right? A lot of months we weren’t even making a h 100,000 or, you know, less than 10,000 in the very beginning. So, I’m not somebody that’s, you know, an overnight sensation. And I also want to say this, it’s not like AI is magically doing all this work because we employ people here. And this is going to be a little bit different than what you’ve heard. If you’re by yourself or if you’ve got a small team, AI can help you grow. But we’re not the kind of people if you want to use AI to to fire your staff, I would really rather not teach you and help you because as a small business, AI gives you the chance to grow and potentially employ more people. And that’s just a philosophical thing, but I just want to show you what really is possible when you put the stuff into work the right way. All right. So, I told you earlier what I’m going to teach you, right? So, this is what I’m delivering. And just really quick, if I deliver this over the next 60 minutes or so, and this is going to be worth your while, I leave me a chat really quick. I want to hear you say, “Oh, yeah.” Just want to make sure you guys are still with me because I know there’s a lot of these time waster webinars. All right, you guys are with me. All right, I’m going to deliver on everything on this list. Oh, yeah. Great. Okay, so this is what I’m going to do. But if you’re going to get the most of your time, there’s also some things that you need to do. Specifically, two steps. Number one is you got to decide if you want artificial intelligence working for you in your business. Okay? So, if you see this and you’re like, “Oh my gosh, I need this.” Make a real decision. Otherwise, if you don’t make a real decision, you’re just wasting your time. You know, if you see this and it’s not your thing and you’re like, “Nah, I’ll pass.” No big deal. But at least you’ll know. Then the second thing is at the very end of the training, I am going to talk to you about how you can potentially work with our company, Bot Builders. So, that’ll be the second decision of whether you want to get help from me and my team. But between here and there, we’re going to focus on delivering as much value as we possibly can. And also at the end, I’m excited to share with you a surprise. We do have a small business technology grant. Um, and I’ll tell you what the qualifications are and what that’s all about. Um, at the end, uh, because it’s not for everybody, but if you’ve got a small business or you’re starting a small business, it could be for you. Because at the end of the day, if you’re a business owner, you want to be a business owner, your job is to make investments. And you’ve only got two investments to work with, right? You got your time and you got your money. I probably don’t have to ask you this, but which of these two is more important? Your time or your money, right? Uh, let’s see. Yeah, everybody’s saying time. Time is money, right? It’s fairly self-explanatory, but the funny thing is, you know, I work with this guy named Grant Cardone. I heard him say it one time. He’s like people, it’s like they’re so cheap. They’re squeezing the eagle off the quarter, you know, like they’re just trying to hold on to every nickel and dime, but yet they squander their time like crazy. And we have people write in, you know, to say, “Well, I made this money.” And that’s very exciting. But to me, what’s more exciting is when people write in and say, you know, best benefit is it’s a huge timesaver. I can’t even calculate the weeks of build time and hours per week this automated bot has and will continue to save me, allow me to work on my business and not in it. Um, utilizing a bot has changed my daily routine and freed me to focus more on building my business versus management. This bot has allowed me to quickly get my my bot up and running and to launch my bot agency and taking clients within the first month. Um, so if you’re curious what that’s all about, a lot of our people end up selling chat bots and AI services. And we’ll talk to you more about this a little bit later. Um, Gustavo says, you know, thanks for everything you guys do to help us make money the easy way. And I will say this, I’m glad it was easy for you, Gustavo. will never ever ever ever ever hear me say that this is easy. Business is not easy. We want to make it easier, at least as simple as we possibly can. Um, so that’s our goal here, but everything is going to take work. It’s just the way it is. Even with artificial intelligence, if you if you’re looking for something for nothing, this is definitely not for you. Um, but I will say this, it definitely helps when you’re in the right industry. And Forbes predicted that by the year 2030, AI is going to be a $15.7 trillion industry. They called it the biggest opportunity in today’s fast changing economy. Doesn’t take very much of a 15.7. To put it in perspective, that’s the GDP of Canada, Great Britain, Japan, and several other countries rolled into one is how big artificial intelligence is going to be. So I told you I’d tell you the three best ways in my opinion to make money with AI. And the first one is an AI consultant. Okay? And I put here immediate and recurring because to me any business that you build should have both immediate making money right now and also recurring payments as well. So what you’re learning here today is the beginning of you learning what it would take to become an AI consultant. All right. Wall Street Journal said companies across all industries have been scrambling to secure AI talent from a p a pool that’s not growing fast enough even during economic disruptions and layoffs. Bottom line is supply and demand. And right now the demand outpaces the supply. Meaning that you don’t need to be that much of an expert to get into this game. All right. So, how important is it to get in front of a trend to do something that is hot? Well, I’ll I’ll kind of share super quickly where I came from just to kind of give a a little bit of a a groundwork. My company before this was called boardames.com. Um, it started out when I designed a board game, which I usually have a copy of. All right, don’t be a loser. All right, so I uh created this board game. I mean, it was a passion. It was a love of mine. Was so excited to bring people around the table. And um I’ll I’ll spare you the story how I acquired boardames.com. I got it for $500 out of pocket. Um, but you know, I was super excited and it was going to be the thing and I was following my passion and I was all in on this and in the end um you know I was competing with Amazon and and uh long story short um you know I had a kid on the way. We were burning a lot of money um and I lost almost $200,000 of my own money. Um, and I don’t I don’t know if anybody wants to admit this, but if anybody’s on the line that’s ever had a failed business, especially one that you’re passionate about and you know that pain maybe. Yeah. Okay. I’m not alone in this for sure. Um, so it was it was pretty rough. But from that experience, the only thing that we did that was really successful is we created an amazing chatbot. And that’s also where I met my co-founder of Bot Builders, Nick Fashan, who um you’re going to learn more about if we get the chance to work together. Um, but just know that it doesn’t matter if you failed in the past. It just matters what you do moving forward. And, and if you’re wondering how have things changed since we got into chat bots and AI and now, you know, with this skill set, with this expertise that I’ve developed, which certainly didn’t happen overnight, um, this is what I earn as a consultant, which is $2,500 an hour. You’re never going to start there. I mean, that’s obviously, you know, I’ve been I’ve been doing this stuff for a while, you know, and I’ I’ve, you know, really developed some unique stuff, which we’re going to share with you here today. Um, but it’s still a little bit mind-blowing to think like I remember, you know, making Subway sandwiches for $4.25 in 1998, you know, $425 an hour. Um, so it’s just good to know that when you’re an industry that’s in charge in front of a major trend, there’s a lot of potential there. All right. The key to take away from this is that you do not need to be a techie to do this. And I am not a techie. In fact, the um first time I hired a web development company to build a a website for me, they asked me what language they wanted to have it coded in. And my answer to that was English, right? They were obviously looking for a coding language. But you do not need to be techy. What you need to know is how to automate. And there’s a difference between automation and and and technical stuff because as you’re going to see in just a little bit, you can automate by dragging and dropping and moving boxes when you know how to use the tools that we’re going to teach you how to use. Um, and I’m really really proud to say actually we should add a fourth award to this. Um, that each and every year we’ve hit the Inc. 5000 list, which is really exciting. So, just that’s all to say is that, you know, we we’ve done this a lot longer than anybody else in the space. Um, and we’re doing pretty well with it and hopefully we can help you do it too. Um, the, uh, it all changed the day that OpenAI came out with ChatGpt. And for those of you that, um, use Chat GBT, just know I’m going to teach you the perfect prompt here in just a second. But if you’re not using Chat GBT multiple times a day, I mean, everywhere you go on your phone, this is alone is going to be an absolute gamecher for you. Um, and the bottom line to what this AI thing is all about, it’s called generative AI, meaning you put something in and you get something out. Okay? Hopefully something better out, right? And Chat GBT, to state the obvious, is a chatbot, aka a bot, which means you can put text, you put text in and text comes out. Now, I’m going to show you is, you know, chat GPT now does much more than just text, but this is the chatbot that really broke the mold for all bots. And you might have seen the stat before just to kind of compare Chat GBT to all the other fastest growing apps out there. ChatGpt hit a million users in 5 days. Now, here is where this is going to be different than anything else you’ve ever experienced is we’re not going to just tell you how to use Chat GBT. We’re going to tell you how to get chat GBT working on top of these other apps helping you generate leads and sales 24 hours a day. All right. So, the the very very basics of Generative AI is that the text that you enter in is called a prompt. You might have heard this before, right? So, now what I want to do is I’m going to teach you the perfect prompt. And you know, everybody out there wants to tell you some, you know, BS. This is the greatest prompt, whatever. You’re going to see just how simple this really is. Okay. So to show you some real world examples of chat GPT, um this was when I um the first time we hosted uh we host an event annually here in Arizona called the Bolathon Bash uh for the Special Olympics. It’s my favorite charity in the world. Absolutely love it. And I was struggling, truth be told. The the event was coming up and I desperately needed sponsors and I was wasting all my time and energy researching online. Finally, I’m like, I’m going to use chat GPT for this. I put in this prompt and boom, it gave me the best list of potential sponsors ever and we ended up saving the event and this was, you know, from the prompt, this is what it gave me. Obviously, I did the work to talk to the companies, but this was the end result, the most amazing, unbelievable, joyful day that you can imagine with hundreds of athletes. We raised a ton of money and so many of their parents said that it was the most fun that they’ve ever had. So, just kind of showing how this AI thing because people think it’s so, you know, it’s like anti- people, but you really can use technology to bring people together. All right, here’s another example. All right, running my first sprint triathlon and I needed to know how to prepare and train, right? So, it tells me all the stuff that I need. It gives me a a workout. And if you use Chat GBT, you know, it’s amazing for this kind of stuff. So, what was the end result of of this training? Boom. Okay. No, that’s not really me. I wish that was me or my wife wishes that was me. All right. So, that’s that’s just a joke. But, um, but it doesn’t really matter what it is that you want to do. Start with chat GBT. Another one is, you know, we bought a new home and we wanted to remodel in a modern Spanish style. So, this is an example where you can upload a file and bam, transformed our our old bathroom into a modern style to give us some inspiration. So, pretty much anything that you can imagine you can do. Now, what I want to do is I want to teach you how to be a great prompt engineer, right? And I use these quotations because all these gurus online were like, “Oh, this is the best, you know, prompts.” Like, look, chat GBT is so much better than it used to be. It used to be that you had to write great prompts. That was a thing. Now, it’s so good that all you got to do is start a conversation. So, this that I’m going to give you right here, this is a write down or write this down. This is the perfect prompt. Start everything you do just like this. My goal. And then you just fill in your goal. All right. Raising money for charity. You want to sell more stuff. Whatever. Whatever it is, planning a birthday party for your kid. What do you need from me to collaborate and make it happen as effectively and efficiently as possible? That’s it. You literally type that in and then it’s going to be a two-way conversation and you just work with Chat GBT just like it was a staff of of absolutely geniuses that could do anything that you want to do. All right. And how do I know it’s the perfect prompt? Because Chad GPT told me so. I wrote this prompt with ChatGpt. Of course, I’m going to use Chad GBT to write the perfect prompt. All right. So, I I do want to share this, and this is kind of like the guru’s dirty little secret. You’re never going to get the same quality results using Chat GBT as you are with professional tools because you can’t fully train the AI. And here’s what I mean by that. A prompt is only half of it. Okay? I I’ve to give you an example. If I want to get um to make a tool to have uh chat GBT sell something, it’s going to be much better if I give it examples of things that I’ve written that have sold because I’ve sold more than chat GPT. So, anytime you a company like ours is creating a professional tool, just know that it’s much more than prompt. It’s also trained by the professionals. Now, really exciting to share at the end. Um, if we do end up working together, I’ve got what I believe to be the biggest bonus gift in the history of bonuses. Um, but we’ll talk more about that at the end. But let me ask you this. What if instead of just using Chat GBT to give you responses, it could be trained to actually collect leads, book appointments, and sell for you? Okay. If I could teach you how to get Chad GBT to do these things for you, and and you would like that, give me an oh yeah in the comments. Just make sure you guys are with me here. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Awesome. Thank you guys for humoring me. All right. So, we got a live demo coming up in just a second. So, you’re going to be able to see a fully trained AI powered chatbot customized in minutes. All right. So, just a few more types of AI before we get to the bots. Um, generative AI art is one of those ones that just blows my mind. You put in text, you get out images. Maybe you’ve played with this. There’s a ton of tools. One of my favorites is MidJourney. Um, it’s a little bit, you know, a little bit trickier to use to to really master, but it’s really mind-blowing. And there’s so many of these AI art tools. Um, what one of the things that we did that was really fun is I built a website that actually allows people to put in a prompt and get out a piece of art that they can hang on their wall. So, uh, Vivian here, this is our beautiful daughter Vivian. She was the first person to use it. And I said, “Well, Vivian, what kind of art do you want?” And she said, “Kitty cat unicorn.” And this is what it created. So, I mean, it doesn’t need to be fancy, right? You can just type in kitty cat unicorn and that’s what it produces. Uh Noah said uh he wanted a hard rock yellow guitar, which is which is really cool. Noah. Um and that’s actually a picture of him um on Christmas. He’s got a red guitar, but um he really we’re really excited. I’m I’m learning how to play guitar with Noah. we do lessons together which is really super special because um he’s hard of hearing and the fact that he’s like so excited about music is a really really really cool thing. Um we’ll talk more you know if we have some time at the end I’ll kind of tell you a little bit more of the story but um this is you know the fact that we kids can just give us a few words and now they have art that goes on their wall um that they love that’s so special to them just shows you the kind of things that you can do with AI. Um, but you’re now like, “Okay, this is great, but how do we use this stuff to generate revenue?” Well, it’s all about connecting the dots. Um, and this was the first time that we used AI art to create a an ad. So, I think this is an Instagram or a Facebook ad. And so, we just put in the prompt, you know, it was probably like a robot at an ATM machine with money falling down or whatever. Then, we used AI to write the the the copy, the text. And this was actually if you see this, the button says donate now. For this test, we actually did a training where we we had people donate um to our favorite cause and then you know get on the live training and it was mindblowing the results that we got. Like it was like the best cost per click of any ad. We ended up, you know, raising a little bit of money um for the Special Olympics. So that’s what you do is you you just connect the dots and you pull these things together. And since then, we’ve really gone nuts, not just with AI images, but also with AI video. And maybe this is how you you might have found us from an ad. There’s probably a good chance or you’ve at least seen our ads. So, this is using one specific tool that I’m going to teach you. Um, that I mean, as you can see, I mean, the the ad on the left’s got 28,000 likes. I mean, we’ve ran these things like crazy. So, I’m going to show you just a really quick clip. And just know that you can make ads and videos like this using AI with your iPhone. All right, so just a really quick clip here. Arthur Engel Worthington Schmidt. Am I pronouncing that correctly? Call me AI. Great. Uh, it says here AI that you’re looking for full-time work. Is that correct? Correct. Yeah. Preferably something 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Wow. So hardworking. I like uh so that that one was wildly successful. Actually, that is one of our most successful ads of all time. And the one on left is a lot of fun. One on the right, me playing basketball against AI
and of course getting whipped. So these these ads could literally be made with you, a camera, and this tool. Okay, it’s called Wonder Dynamics. And people like, “Matt, why do you give it away?” Like, I’m going to give you all of our like this this tool right here. Super cheap. All right, just imagine you take a video of you going like this and then you just pick a character and replace it. You could be an alien, you could be a robot, you could be anything that you want to be. All right, so you could use this for social media and so many other things. I wanted to make sure to share this with you because it’s not only um generated a lot of revenue for us, it’s also really built our brand and got us a lot of notoriety as well. So, I want to make sure to give you our best stuff here. Um, and just, you know, in case you’re wondering like how we’re doing, this is our our main uh ad account. And as you can see, it’s spent $5 million. So, you know, you can just imagine if it spent $5 million, hopefully we’ve made at least a little bit more back than that. Um, but if you’re like, Matt, you know, that’s really cool, but I don’t want to be in an ad, right? The good news is there are lots of AI tools that you can use where you don’t need to be in the ad at all. Um, this ad on the left has been a really, really high converter for us. The one on the right’s done pretty well as well. Um, let me play a quick clip. I think it’s the one on the right that’s going to play. If you’re still using chat GPT the same way as everyone else, then you’re probably doing it wrong. As powerful as it is, chat is a way for you to save time. Written by AI, fully automate your business, gener. It’s also a lot easier than you think. So if you now I highly recommend that when you use AI in that fashion that you let people know that this is AI just to kind you know full disclosure. Um but there’s so many amazing generative AI tools and and you don’t need to write these down. Remember if you’re on at the end we’ll send you a list of our top 250 tools and all of these are obviously on there. But when it comes to video different tools are good for different things. So, if you remember the at the beginning where it was me and the robot high-fiving that was made with the a tool called cling, the first one here. Um, the last thing that I just showed you is called Arc Ads. The the ads that I showed you, that’s Arc Ads, the best advertising AI um AI tool. So, so many different tools and you know the obviously video images, those are just the beginning. Um, if we do end up working together and and you get started with our programs, AI powered profits is where, you know, we’re not just going to teach you what the video tools are. We’re going to teach you, you know, how do you go and use them and what situations you use them. Same for social media, SEO, branding, so many different things. Obviously, way more than we can cover here. Um, but if you are somebody that’s like, man, I’m going to really put this stuff to work for me, just know we cover all of this stuff in the AI power profits course, which we’ll talk more after the training. All right? But right now, I want to get you focused. I wanted to give you like a little bit of everything just so you guys see what it’s all about. But now, I want to talk to you about where I believe the money is. And bots are where the money is, right? Chat GBT. Why did they create it as a bot? Because it’s just the best format. And the cool thing about bots is you can use them to generate leads, increase sales, and improve support. All right? It’s what we do here at Bot Builders. All right. Now, what is so valuable about a chatbot? Well, one of the things that makes it valuable is speed to lead. And Harvard Business Review did a massive survey studying online leads. When the leads come in, the value of those leads depending on how long it takes to follow up with them. And they found that when leads were followed up with in less than an hour or I’m sorry, uh, in less than an hour, it was seven times greater than leads that went longer than an hour. Just imagine that. Seven times higher conversion. Leads that went more than a day, 60 times greater. 60 times. So what’s great about a chatbot? The responses aren’t just like within an hour. The responses are instantaneous. That’s what people want. They want immediate feedback. So whether it’s your business or it’s somebody else’s business, you can just imagine the value of solving this massive problem for people. All right? So, it could be your business or if you want to resell bots and we’ll talk to you more in the end what that could look like. If you’re like, man, I don’t know how to do this stuff. It is possible to actually take our bots and resell them to other businesses. But just to kind of give you a little bit uh of an understanding of how a bot works because chat bots work on multiple platforms. So, you can take a bot and put it on your website. You can also have a bot that runs on Facebook. You can have a bot on Instagram, on WhatsApp, on text message. All of these platforms can have this interactive two-way experience so that you can capture leads with your chatbot on all these different platforms. And then it converts sales in these conversations or leads or whatever it is that you want to do. Of course, they can do support as well. We build bots that primarily focus on leads and sales, but they handle customer support or whatever it is that you want them to do. And then what’s great is it can also automate the followup after the initial conversation. Okay, so you’ve got all these different platforms where you can have a bot. It can do the immediate messaging. It can do the followup and everything in between. And exciting announcement. Bots are now live on Tik Tok. Now, they are pretty new, right? So, they’re not as robust in some of the other platforms. Um, but if you’re on Tik Tok and you’re like, man, I would love to have this stuff to generate leads, now you’re in business. All right, but just to kind of step back from it because obviously that’s a lot, right? You might not you use and here’s the thing. If you don’t use social media, don’t worry. I don’t use much social media. I do now. Like I’ll log in to answer questions and stuff like that. I’m not a social media person. In fact, I don’t even like using computers anymore than I need to. But this is the thing that you need to worry about. Okay, this is write this down. You might say, “Well, Matt, this is simple, but this is the automation freedom formula. Leads times conversion equals freedom.” Right? And if you have leads coming in on a consistent basis and you’re converting those leads into deals or sales, that’s freedom. And until you have this like, yeah, you go, you might go, “Well, that’s obvious.” Well, if you’re not going to bed at night and waking up in the morning with more money in your bank account, you’re not doing this. And that’s what, you know, Warren Buffett said it best. He said that unless you figure out how to make money while you sleep, you’re going to be working until you die. And that’s just the reality. So a lot of times you get on these things and and you know obviously traffic is really important but what’s wrong with this approach? All right. Let me ask you guys what’s wrong with this approach? Yeah. The cart before the horse, right? Yeah. It’s backwards. So so many people they’re like worried about traffic, traffic, traffic. And the gurus are saying, “No, do this tra.” It’s like you got to have the conversion piece in place before you worry about even getting the leads. some people if you’re not ready I could dump all the leads in the world on your lap but if you don’t have a way right and you’re probably starting to figure out here what’s cool about chat bots is they do both the leads and the conversion and that’s basically what we do here is we build automated machines that generate revenue with predictability that’s a very key word predictability like do you know what your what your growth is do you have the ability to go out and buy advertising and put in a dollar and get $3 out because If you don’t have predictability, then you don’t have a scalable business. And that’s and that’s just the reality. So, stop focusing on the the deal, the the the sale and start focusing on the machine that’s going to create the predictability to get the sales. I mean, just to kind of create a quick comparison because we all know, you know, websites or funnels, right? If you think about a a website, how do you generate a lead on a website? So, you got an opt-in form. If you think about a chatbot, you know, there’s opt-in forms for chat bots as well. Um, you can also take a button and put it on your website. People can come into your bot. You can take a link and you can take that link and you can put it on social media. You can put it in an email. You can put it in a text message. People click on the link, they get into your bot. Facebook ads, Instagram ads, other kinds of ads as well. Social comments, people comment on a social post, it triggers your chatbot. Or they can send a DM, it triggers your chatbot. Or they can send a text, it triggers your chatbot. or you can have an automated chat on your website or scan codes. The important thing to recognize here is that this is multi-channel marketing. So you’re you’re collecting the lead on whatever social media platform, the DM plus email plus text. So you have multi-channel marketing, right? To just to kind of show you a conversion uh example here in the real world, we do a lot of webinars, send a lot of emails. So if we send out a thousand emails, we’ll have 200 of those emails get open. 20 of them will get clicked. 40% will register. So if we send 1,000 emails, we might have eight people register for webinar. Compare it to a chatbot. We sent out a thousand messages. 796 got opened. 259 got clicked. 51% registered for a total of 131 total registrations, right? That’s 16 times the results. Is this typical? No, I don’t want to say this is typical, but it’s just, you know, if you’re doing the same thing as everybody else, you’re going to get the same results as everybody else. And just so I know who’s with me, if you’re looking for some kind of gamecher right now in your business, and maybe this is it, maybe it’s not, but if you’re looking for something like I need something to break the mold, give me an oh yeah in the comments just so I can know you guys are with me. Okay, cool. Good. Hope you guys everybody enjoying this so far. Oh, it’s about to get really, really good. Cool. All right, so but it’s not like it’s bots versus email. All right, bots and email go together like peanut butter and jelly. Email is still, in my opinion, the most powerful marketing medium. We have a massive email list. U make a ton of money with it. I I highly recommend building your list. And our chatbot in in a chatbot, and I’m going to show you one of these in a minute, the experience when people get in there, it’s called a flow. Okay? And in our flow, our opening flow, our chatbot collects emails from 72% of people. Okay? 70. Just just imagine that. I’ I’ve never had a website um I’ve never had a a landing page that’s done 72%. I just I’ve never seen it happen before. And um here’s Brock, you know, again, I don’t know what’s typical, but obviously he was struggling to to collect leads and then he was able to get 200. You know, it seems like he’s pretty excited about that and that’s really really awesome. So, if you struggle to build your list in the past, maybe think about doing it uh a little bit differently. So, at this point, all right, we’ve talked a lot about AI. I’ve shown you a lot of different stuff. um you got to really make the decision to see if it’s even worth sticking around for the rest of the webinar. Decide that you want to have AI working for you. So, let me ask you this, okay? From what you’ve seen and what you know AI is capable of, do you want to have AI working for you in your business, right? And not just helping you be more productive, but I’m talking 24 hours a day, seven days a week actually working for you. All right? And I see some Oh, yes. Okay, cool. Thank you for the Oh, yes. That’s awesome. Because if if you’re not if you’re seeing this and you’re like, h, you know, not really my thing and it’s not your deal, totally cool if you want to jump off right now. I don’t mind a bit. Nothing personal. I know time is super valuable. Um, but if you’re here, okay, that means that you made a real decision that you’re going to get AI working for you. Okay, so from here on out, we’re going to talk about what it takes to get AI working for you. All right, so what we’re going to do is we’re going to do a little bit of a chatbot demo here. This is going to be a lot of fun. All right. So, this is again it’s a a hybrid, right? This hybrid model where you’re going to see AI and you’re also going to see what we’ve built, okay? The humanbuilt intelligent. And you’re going to see how these two things work together. Now, this specific example that we’re going to show you is a chatbot reseller bot, right? It’s a bot that sells bots. Why am I showing you this? because a lot of people who are on here, you know, are looking for some kind of business to start and they’re like, man, if I could just sell these to to businesses. So, imagine this is a bot that will sell bots for you. Okay, this is just a hypothetical example. You don’t need to do this. And we’ll talk more about different business types here in just a minute. So, in this demo, we’re going to we got a fictitious business. We’re going to call it Sassy Sally’s. All right? It’s an AI and chatbot uh company. And um the product sold are pre-built bots, right? These bots are ready to go. Um, and it’s going to be sold via appointment. So, it’s going to be booking an appointment. And the platform that we’re going to show this bot on is going to be Facebook Messenger. Again, it could be Instagram, could be on a website, it could be, you know, all these various platforms. Could be a text bot. They’re all going to be different, right? But with this, what we’re going to do is we’re going to build this using Minihat. Okay? So, Minihat is the number one bot platform in the world, and it’s the the platform that we use to build our bots with. And to to do this, it’s $15 a month for the pro uh plan um to use Minihat. And the cool thing is is that the chat GBT is the other part of this is we pay for the chat GPT. All right? So, you don’t got to worry about that. But this bot that you’re going to see, the good news is is we’ve already done all the hard stuff. And what we’re going to do now is we’re going to show you the customization of this bot. Okay? So to give a little bit more context, when you see the human intelligence, that’s the the flow, okay? That’s the thing that we’ve pre pre-built, okay? There’s no programming, there’s no code, as you’re going to see. What it is is just a bunch of boxes. I’ll just show you in a second, but this is when there’s buttons to reply to. Okay? So this is a flow. And this is the the the program that we use, ManyHat, to build this system. So, if you can imagine, you just have a box is what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? You just add three buttons. It’s all drag and drop. You’re going to see this here in just a second. And then depending on what people click, oh, chocolate is the best, vanilla roll, strawberry for the win. It could be very, very, very, very simple. Again, no code needed. Anybody can do this, especially with a little bit of training, which we provide. All right. The second piece to this is chat GPT. This is the AI piece. And AI replies to the typing. Okay. So as you see this experience, just know this is humanuilt stuff and AI stuff all working together. All right. Okay, let’s jump in. All right, so here we are inside of Minihat and uh this is we’ve just installed the AI and what we’re going to do now is going to go step by step and train the AI. So um again, we’re using a uh company we’re going to call Sassy Sally’s. All right, we’re just going to kind of make this up as we go here. Um, book appointments here. So, this is just going to be like if somebody wants to book an appointment and you, you know, you might use a sales page here or whatever, but you know, we’re just going to say if somebody wants to book, we’ll send them here. Um, company location, I think we said Myrtle Beach, uh, South Carolina is where we said that Sassy Sally is product or service you sell. So, in this case, we’re going to say AI services and chat bots. Okay. Um details, we’re going to say um chat bots that generate leads, increase sales, and improve support. Um, we’re going to put um, uh, priced at a fraction of the competitors.
So, you don’t have to be able to type to be able to do this. And we’ll say um, launch within two weeks. Okay. Next. Industry. I’ll say AI. Okay. details about company. Let’s say u been in business since 2019. Um we’ll say inc 5000 winner. All right. Leader full name. Um I think we Sally Southerntherland. Okay. Details about leader. We’ll say uh AI expert. We’ll put uh former pole var in Olympics. Just making stuff up here. All right. Bot name. Um so let’s let’s call the the bot Sassy Sarah. All right. Primary goal is book appointments. We’ll say discovery call appointments. All appointments to discuss AI chat bots.
Okay. Tone for replies. Let’s say Sassy Southern Bell. All right. Company phone number 8675309.
It’s actually Jenny’s number, but um support email address. support at Okay, I think we’re almost done here. All right. And what we’re doing again, this is training the bot. So the bot can use all this information. Boom. Just like that. Now we’ve given the AI everything that it needs. So if you look at this information here, of course, if you want to edit this later, you’re it’s very, very easy to do. But the next thing we want to do, let’s go ahead and look at this thing in action here. Okay, so now we’re on the Facebook page we created. This is again just we made this up for Sassy Sally. This is AI background and image, but um this could be, you know, a website bot. It could be Instagram. It could be text, but we’re going to use Facebook Messenger. So, let’s just uh hit message. Okay. And let’s click get started. And then I’m going to zoom in really big for you here so you can see very clearly. All right. So, let’s just say, “Hi. What’s your name?”
Well, hey there, Matt. I’m Sassy Sarah here to help out. What can I do for you today? Um, I am struggling with my business. I’m just kind of making stuff up here. We’ll see how the AI does. Oh, sugar. I’m sorry to hear that. What specific challenges are you facing in your business, Matt? Let’s see if we can find a solution together. Um, I need to get more customers.
Well, bless your heart, Matt. Have you considered using AI chat bots to generate leads and increase sales for your business? Our chat bots at Sassy Sally can help you do that, and they’re launched within two weeks. Would you like to book a discovery call to learn more how we can assist you? Um, I’m not sure. Can you show me a bot? Okay. Now, before I hit submit on this, just to kind of recap everything that’s happened here, you guys saw me actually train the AI literally with the information that we gave the AI. It did all of these responses. That’s all artificial intelligence. All right. But what’s going to happen now is you’re going to see hybrid AI in action. So while everything so far has been the basic training we gave the AI, now you’re going to see an actual experience that we’ve created. My team including co-founder Nick Fashan built this thing from scratch to really optimize the sales opportunities because remember it’s all about AI and human power mixed together. So, can I show can you show me a bot
so I can best demonstrate uh best customized demonstration for you, hun? How familiar are you with chat bots? So, this is really zoomed in here, but let’s just say I’m 100% clueless.
Great, Matt. That’s exactly what I’m here for. Not to worry, we’re going to baby step into this whole bot thing. I’ll be sure to start with the bot basics.
It’s a baby bot. It’s important to know that bots like me run on multiple platforms and every device. We produce results on websites, text message, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and more. I’m about to demonstrate what a bot can do for your business, sweetie. But just curious, Matt, what do you think about my capability so far? You say, if my mind was blown, what would happen is it would immediately go for the sale. But I’m going to click on, and again, you just can’t see this because I’m so zoomed in, but I want to see more.
Great, Matt, because you ain’t seen nothing yet. In fact, to show off my best skills, I’m going to send you a free report you’re going to absolutely love.
And this free report, by the way, just for the record, all of this, if we do end up working together and you know you want to create a a revenue stream of selling chatbots, all of this is completely pre-built, including the free report and everything that you need. So, click below if this is the best email to send your free report and info. If you have a better one, just submit it. This is one of the most important things that you can take away from this. If you’ve been struggling to build an email list, one-click optin, I I don’t have to tell you is going to have a much much higher rate than having to type it. Got it. I’ll get that right out right away, sweetheart. See how easy that was? Bots are so effective because they create fun interactive two-way experiences. Unlike websites and emails, your customers won’t be able to resist clicking buttons.
Let’s dig in more to help you understand exactly what a bot can do for you. Which of these is is currently most important to your business. So what we do is we let them tell you so that way you have you know important data and we can customize the experience similar to an email marketer about allows you to capture subscribers but on social media too while open rates have fallen to 10 to 20% social DMs get a 60 to 90%. Okay we’re really zoomed in here but also unlike email bots can automatically capture a subscriber when they do any of the following and we talked about all this stuff if you guys remember. These are all the ways that you can generate uh bot generate leads using chat bots.
While many experts predicted messenger marketing would be the email killer, as you’ve already experienced, bots actually help you grow your email list. Just so I know what I’m working with, how many email subscribers do you currently have? Again, we’re collecting valuable data, but doing it in a way that’s that’s engaging, interactive, and not in any way at all threatening. Okay. So, let’s just say less than a thousand.
Okay, Matt. Sounds like we need to get you a bot like ASAP. Bot power, baby. All right, moving on to sales pop quiz. Why do you think bots are so great at turning leads into paying customers? Higher engagement, better targeting, or all of the above. Now, that you see that this is basically instead of just saying, “Hey, bots give higher engagement and better targeting, we’re doing this in a very interactive way and people just go step by step and unlike an email or a sales page, they they give their prospect undivided attention like you’re giving me now.” Exactly. Additionally, bots have demographic info on your user. For example, you’re a male living in the United States. You can customize or can personalize your sales messages. Just imagine your conversion rates when you give your users an entertaining and personalized experience like this. Higher engagement, better targeting, more sales.
Oh yeah.
Last but not least, support. While our company is best known for building bots that generate leads and acquire customers, a bot like me can do wonders for your customer service. Bots don’t need sleep, which means customers can get help 24/7. Bots don’t get paid, which means you save a lot of money. Just curious, how many people are you currently on your team? So, we’re kind of asking, you know, very non-invasive ways, you know, hey, what how much money do you got? What kind of company do you got over there? Great, Matt. When you get your new bot, they’ll become your first unpaid employee. I can see it already. You and your bot taking over the world and celebrating together on a tropical island.
We’re keeping it fun, right? When people are engaged and they’re laughing, they’re going to want to do business with you. Tell everyone what Matt, since you’re brand new and went through the entire demo, I’m going to hook you up. I’m going to get you a call with my creator, Sally, so that you can get your own bot. Not to brag, but I think Sally should get an award for being the best bot builder in the universe.
Now, that guy’s got some good hair. One of the few I’m actually envious of. Uh, beyond that, Sally is surprisingly affordable. Um, that said, I should make sure there’s potential fit. Which of these best describes your situation? Do you got money or no? And what’s great is is if if somebody’s broke and you don’t want to meet with them, great. All right. And and if you are thinking about selling uh reselling chat bots, again, this is already built for you. I’m going to tell you a little bit later how we’ll even do the sales for you, but we’ll talk about that. I know most people on here aren’t really looking to get into the chatbot or the AI business. You probably have another business of your own. So, just imagine that if you wanted to book appointments, you can actually filter out the tire kickers or the people who don’t have a budget. But, let’s say I’m already sold. That’s great, Matt. Click here to request a date and time. And what’s great is, and this is I’ll show you guys, this is kind of generic, but you can actually integrate this with your own calendar.
And this demo is obviously in the future, but this will be, you know, real life times when you set it up. So, all right, we choose a time. Thanks. Got your request. Obviously, sal service is high demand, so I can’t guarantee that time, but I’ll make sure that uh you get taken care of. Now, if you integrate your calendar, you would obviously edit that in such a way, you know, that it’s like, hey, we got you in the books. Um, what’s the best phone number to reach you at? And this is again oneclick phone number. All right. Now, if I wanted to, I could submit another number, but we’ll just go ahead and do this one. Roger that. One more question. Do you have a company website? If so, submit it below. So, I’ll say bot builders. And by the way, depending on what your business is, we even have bots that will analyze websites. We have chat bots that do all sorts of stuff. Sounds good. You’ll be hearing from Sally or a team member shortly. For now, I’ll let you go. You just had a very long chat with a robot. I’m glad to have a new friend. If you have any questions, that’s it. Boom. And you know what’s cool is this thing will even replace Sally’s name with your name. So, that was uh the sort of the front-end experience. Just to kind of recap everything that we’ve done. All right, we took uh we installed our AI and I showed you how to give it basic training just by answering questions and then I showed you that bot in action. And remember, this is what we call a hybrid AI bot, meaning that the first half of the conversation was all AI powered. Okay, just AI running. Now, obviously, we did a lot of coding, a lot of work in the background. I don’t want to act like AI is magic, right? We did the hard work. So you could just answer questions and it worked, right? But the second half of this experience, you’ll notice that it had buttons and it was very well written. All right, that’s what this is. Okay, so we’ve taken the best AI, trained it to the best of ability. We take your information and then we take our experiences. This one is for selling chat bots. that we’ve, you know, we’ll talk more later about uh a lot of the other bots that we’ve built, but just to kind of take a look at this. You know, this is something that it took me, you know, months and months to build, but you can see why we’ve done this. Because unlike other chat bots out there that are very generic experience, we make all of our bots, no matter what the niche is, we make it so that it’s a customized experience. So if they’re a bot expert, it’s going to give a much different experience, all right, than if they are a newbie. Okay? So whatever their information they’re giving, it’s sending down different paths. So we don’t like, you know, generic chat bots that just kind of talk to everybody the same. We’d much rather have it tailored in order to optimize the overall experience. Cool. If I chime in here real quick. For sure. All right. No. Yeah. I just want to say that this is absolutely mind-blowing. And I’m saying this from the perspective of someone who’s been into online marketing for over 15 years now, who’s done everything. Like as an affiliate, I’ve promoted offers across all different kinds of u ad platforms and traffic sources. Uh I’ve promoted offers across different niches as well. And um yeah, I’ve seen a lot when it comes to online marketing. But I can say that this is absolutely mind-blowing and I’ve never seen anything like it. So if you already have a business, this could multiply your sales because probably if you don’t have something like this, you’re living a ton of money on the table. And keep in mind that things are becoming more and more competitive. So as you leave money on the table, you’re not just like uh missing some additional profits, you’re actually losing u the capacity to compete with other marketers and advertisers and competitors out there on ad platforms or with even with email promotions and cross promotions. So it’s not just that you you should be making more money, but you need to be making more money. And this is your solution. And then if you’re just getting started and you still don’t have a team, if you have a new business, you’re working on your own or perhaps with just one or two assistants, this will ensure that you make the most out of your business, you know, out of your traffic without having to hire more and more people. So yeah, this is just, you know, incredible. And I just wanted to chime in to say this real quick. Well, cool. Thank you for that. Really means a lot coming from you. Uh, and again, we’ve got lots of different experiences here. I got some more stuff we’re going to show you. Let me go back to All right, let’s get back here. Okay, so I’m showing that this what this is. This is underneath the hood of a Rolls-Royce. Cuz I know that there’s probably some of you out there who saw that bot and you’re like, “Oh my gosh, this is crazy.” What this is represents is the fact that, you know, if somebody were to give you the keys to a Rolls-Royce, it’s not like you’re going to open up the hood and you’re going to look look under there and go, “Well, I don’t understand how this works.” like I don’t get the, you know, the spark plugs and the gaskets. I I don’t want this, right? I’m not interested. I don’t I don’t understand all the pieces. It’s the same way with the chatbot. You don’t need to understand how all the stuff works. If somebody gives you the keys to Rolls-Royce, what do you do? You get in the car, you push the button, and you go. All right. And uh I think Mike was the first person to compare our bots to a Rolls-Royce. And clearly, his results are not even close to typical. Um, but just just know that you don’t need to worry about what’s under the hood. You got to get in the vehicle. All right? And you focus on where you’re going, right? What is it that you’re trying to achieve? And with a chatbot, all right, especially a hybrid AI bot, there’s three things. You want to generate leads, increase sales, and improve support. And it can do this for any kind of business. Frankly, it doesn’t even need to be a business. It could be a nonprofit. You could have a rock band. Really doesn’t make a difference. All right. So, just to kind of give you some examples of some some chatbot flows. This is a coaching and consulting bot and and it comes with way more than just this flow, but just to show you a quick example. Doesn’t matter all the fancy stuff. What does it do? It gets client leads. It books sales calls. And it fulfills services. This is an author and influencer bot, right? It grows followers. It sells products online. It builds real relationships. This is an affiliate marketing bot. What does it do? It’s omni channel leads, affiliate commissions, automates follow-up. And if you’re not familiar with affiliate marketing, what that means is it sells other people’s products and you get paid a commission on those products. We’ll talk more about that in a little bit here. Um, this is a real estate bot. So, what does it do? It gets buyer and seller leads. It negotiate deals. It gets buyers competing. Um, this is a local business. It gets it does special promotions. It’s got loyalty buyer programs. It does special birthday offers. This is network marketing or MLM bot. It gets rep and customer leads. It enrolls new downline. It automates product sales. Um, this is an Amazon seller bot. It builds it builds your own list, launch new product. Uh, helps build relationships. This is the bot reseller one that I show you, right? Um, this is for e-commerce. It could be Shopify or any kind of platform. Doesn’t matter. All right. Captures lead capture quizzes. Um, sales card abandoners, answers, FAQs. Does so much. Um, Fagie said, “Uh, these are just a few of the many ways I was able to scale my personal incoms to help my clients as well. product launches, collecting product reviews, gathering priceless data, product development, automated customer support. All right? Again, don’t worry about all those things. You don’t need it to do everything. You just need it to do a couple things to really change the game. All right? Don’t worry about what’s under the hood. Just worry about getting to where you want to go. And our bots work for every kind of business in the world. And just to show you example, this was our first year of our first chatbot. All right? You want to talk about a game changer. Like, holy cow. All right? not typical, but this was our first year. Um, this is one of our clients, Grant Cardone. He Grant Cardone is not typical. Um, Many Chat, uh, full disclaimer, and we were using ManyHat, um, long before they hired us to help them build a bot. Um, but this was the first year that of of their growth. Um, and here’s Johnny. He said, “I had the best month in sales, and now that my clients and their experience are taken care of with automation, I almost feel unemployed.” Okay. He’s a He’s a dating coach. Obviously, you can do this with any kind of stuff. But if you’d like to be at a place where you have your best month of sales and you’re feeling like you’re unemployed, give me an OEF. All right. Cool. Cool. Good. All right. So, I told you I promised you three ways uh to make money with AI. The second is to be a bot reseller. So, imagine our bots that are pre-built and you do some customization. We teach you how to do this. Selling them to other businesses. And to kind of give you some idea, obviously this is a little bit of an older uh study, but how chat bots are priced, these guys said uh they’re typically charged anywhere between $10,000 and $50,000. Now, to be completely upfront, I believe that most of the people that get started with our stuff start lower than that just cuz they’re, you know, they’re new, they’re never done before, um we had a 15-year-old uh that was selling chat bots and he was, you know, charging a good amount less than this. Um, you know, Ezra said, “Since my wife and I launched a bot a few months ago, we sold almost about two plus bots at the 2K price point.” So, you know, it’s completely up to you. Obviously, you know, as you go, you know, our approach is not to do a lot of projects. We do uh smaller projects for for big money. Um, but let’s just kind of give you a hypothetical example of what this would look like. So, if you are reselling bots, if you don’t have an interest in this, we’ll fly through it. Um, but if you were reselling bots and you sold a chatbot for 2500 bucks. So let’s say you sell a bot for 2500 bucks, but then you have $500 recurring. Very important. Okay, anything you sell, always have the upfront and then recurring so that you can build upon that. And you know, you could do this anywhere in the entire world, but just in the US alone, there’s 33 million businesses. And even the ones that have bots, I’ll tell you right now, are horrible. If you ever used a bot, even on like big company sites, they’re so bad. The experiences are just just horrendous. So, let’s just say in this hypothetical example that you did one client per week, okay? You’d be hustling. No doubt about it. But just kind of look at how this stacks. So, the first month you do $10,000. So, you earned 10,000 bucks. You got no recurring. All right? Great month. You obviously had to hustle to earn it. But then what you’ll see is if you keep doing this and you keep stacking eventually with time the recurring gets to the point where you could earn more than your immediate sales. And obviously this is very hypothetical. But just whether it’s reselling bots or something else, make sure that if you’re going to build a b a business, you’re building a business that’s worthwhile. That’s a business model that’s going to allow you to get to a point where you don’t have to be constantly selling every single day. And for us, you know, we make more money with this than anybody else that I know, but you know, we have one client that we’ve made over a million dollars from. So, we like to go with fewer clients, but just have higher quality clients. Um, so at this point, you know, you already decided that you want to get AI working for you or you wouldn’t still be here. The second step is you got to decide if you want to get help from me and my team. And we’ll talk about cost and all that. Just set all that stuff aside for a second, okay? And answer the question. All right? Give me an oh yeah if you agree with this. If you think that me and my team could help you do this a lot easier, leave me an oh yeah in the comments here. Okay. If you think that me and my team could help you do it a lot faster. Or if you think that me and my team could help you do it a lot bigger if you had us behind you, leave me an Oh yeah. Okay. Because I mean the reality is you don’t think that I can help you. From here on out, I’m going to talk to you about how you can get this thing started as fast as possible with help from our team. And if if you don’t think that we can help you, then I would rather I call this the courteous close, right? I don’t want to waste your time. I would rather just going to say, “Hey, this is not your thing because from here on out, that means that you’re serious about this and you want to learn more about how bot builders can help you get this working for you either in your business or start a business.” Okay. Why you do not want to miss out on AI is you need zero tech skills to do this. All right? Absolutely none. We’re going to take you through this step by step by step. It works for any type of business in the world. You can collect leads on every channel, all the different channels that we were talking about. This is how you not only automate sales, but also save money. AI can be a massive t time and money saver. Create additional streams of revenue and how to get in front of a trend. If you missed trends in the past, don’t stress. it. Doesn’t matter how many you missed. All you got to do is hit just one. And if you’re like me and you kick yourself in the butt, you know, you missed out on the the whole internet revolution. In my personal opinion, AI, it’s still here. It’s in its early infancy. This thing is just getting started. And the fact that so few companies have this figured out means massive, massive opportunities. So, if you want to work with us here at Bobers, there’s two options to get started here today. Okay, the first one is to get the training only. So to learn the stuff and then build everything yourself. And the second, the one I’m super excited to share with you is our ultimate AI system. This is where you get to use everything that we’ve already built. And because so much of the technology is included with this, if you get started with the ultimate AI system, I’m also going to talk to you about how you can save a ton of money as well. So, just to kind of put it into perspective, Fortune surveyed businesses, just over half of business surveys said that they would spend between 500,000 and $5 million in AI initiatives this year. Now, probably bigger companies than mine and yours, right? But just knowing that major companies are putting all this time and money into AI, small businesses want to figure this thing out as well. And that’s what we do. We help people with zero technical skills start from scratch and get up and running as fast as humanly possible. All right. So, when it comes to this small business AI grant for those of you that get started with the ultimate AI system, this is going to be available for anyone who makes less than $10 million in annual revenue. So, if you’re it’s obviously on the honor system. If you’re making more than 10 million, we just ask that you pay full price. But if you’re making less than 10 million, and I don’t even care if you haven’t started your business yet. If you don’t even know what your business is, and maybe you’re thinking making AI your business, as long as you’re making less than 10 million, you do qualify for the technology grant. All right, so here’s the two options. First, the training only option. This is the AI powered profits course that I told you about earlier. This comes with four modules. The first one is an introduction to AI that really gets you up to speed. Everything that you need to know and frankly there’s more value in just this module than any other AI course that I’ve seen. The second is AI revenue streams. How do you make money from this stuff? The third is AI content creation so that you can have this stuff working for you 24 hours a day. And then fourth is how do you use this for productivity? Because as we talked about, it’s not just about your money, it’s also about your time. So, for those of you that don’t mind rolling up your sleeves, going and learning this stuff, you can get access to all four of these modules, the complete and total training all online for only $2,000. Now, the good news is the Ultimate AI system, because we’ve included so much of the technology in it, is going to be eligible for this grant that I was telling you about, okay? And also have a payment plan that I can tell you about um a little bit later. But the Ultimate AI system, if you do take option number two, you are eligible to get that grant as long as you’re making less than $10 million. So included with the Ultimate AI system, the first piece is our core chatbot. And this is our pride and joy in business. We’ve got thousands of hours of development into building this core bot that works for every every single kind of company in the world. All right. And this thing’s got lead generation quizzes and auto segmenting to put people in different buckets. It’s got viral automation to help your leads get you more leads. It’s got engagement scores so you know who’s really into it. All of this stuff that it does already 100% pre-built. You can customize it if you want, but you don’t have to. It just works out of the box. If you remember the flows that I’ve showed you, these are the best flows in the business. The second piece of this is the chat GPT bot booster. So in addition to these flows that we’ve built that we’ve written and handcrafted to convert as high as possible, we’ve also got AI so that all you’ve got to do is plug in some information just like you saw earlier when we trained it and chat GPT can go to work for you 24 hours a day. All right, remember this can work on your website, on Facebook, on Instagram, on WhatsApp, and on text messages as well. In addition to that, and this is something that’s kind of crazy that we’re doing is we’re also going to give you all of the pre-built bot add-ons. All right, so all of the different niches. All right, we’re coaching, consulting, author, influencer, Shopify, e-commerce, agency, freelance, multi-level marketing, local business, Amazon seller, digital products, real estate, affiliate marketing. All right, whether you want to actually use this in your business or you want to resell our bots to other businesses, doesn’t matter either way. And we’ve got way more than this, but just know even if your business isn’t on this list, it doesn’t matter. This works for every single kind of business in the world. And oh yeah, I promised you three ways you can make money. The third one is affiliate marketing. So that was one of the bots that’s in here. This is crazy. All right. And just to show you, this is just a real world example. This is um one of our bots. We we built a bot for real estate investors. And uh we built one for uh it it got motivated sellers but then you know they were everybody’s like hey we want to sell properties too you know would you build a bot and I was like finally like okay we’ll build it and but I want you to test it and and this guy the he was our very first person to test it. I’m sure this is not at all closed to typical because he literally in the very first weekend I was like, “Hey, did you try it out?” He’s like, “Yeah, I got a property to sell.” His bot was getting people in a bidding war to sell a house. Now, you might not want to sell houses, right? But I’m just showing you this to be like, if a h if a if a bot can flip houses, a bot can do pretty much anything. Again, don’t worry about all the things that it does. You don’t need all the bells and whistles. You just need this to do a few things extremely well to help you get where you want to go a lot faster. All right, so we’ve included in this all of our chatbot trainings. Now, the good news is we’ve done so much of the work that you don’t really need to take all of these trainings. We’ve really streamlined to make this as fast and as efficient as possible for you. Of course, with the ultimate AI system, we’re going to include the AI powered profits course as well. And then we’re also going to include u a certification program as well. So, after you take the AI powered profits course, you you you’re going to go through, you’re going to fill out a a workbook as you go, and when you get done, you take this and you’re certified as an AI specialist. You can add this to your resume, use it, get clients, do it for whatever it is that you want to do. So, all in all, with the Ultimate AI system, you get all of our tools, you get all of our training, get all of the results. Most of the work is already done for you. And oh, by the way, this is a kicker. When you get started, I told you we created an AI website. We’re actually going to give you a gift card for a free one-of-a-kind, you get to make it yourself, frame included piece of art, so you can have your own AI art on your wall. We’re going to deliver that instantly when you get started. So, just to recap what you got to do here, you’re if you get started with the ultimate AI system, you’re going to download our bots. You’re going to follow the steps and all the tutorials. You’re going to choose a revenue stream, whether it’s to grow your business or to start a new revenue stream, and you rock it. And here is the most important part is me and my team are going to be behind you every single step of the way. This is a done with you program. Anything that you need, we got you. All right, just to prove it, Nicholas said, “Bot Builder support is simply the best and always there to help. Not only is Botbuilders phenomenal in general, support rocks, too. So fast, personal, and understanding. I wish every service I used for my business was as good as these guys. Bob Builders has your back. What a great team. Responsive, customer focused, and kind. A company that embodies the golden rule, which is about the best compliment you can get in my book. So, this is for you if you want more leads, more sales or less work, or you’re looking for something new, something immediate, something you can do anywhere that’s got the potential to be highly, highly profitable. And at this point, our bots are powering companies that range from zero, just getting started, to hund00 million and more. Charlene said, “Wow, I cannot believe that I landed a client in under 24 hours. I could not believe it. What a kind and generous company to share their valuable intelligence for such a fair cost.” But obviously, we did have to put a price on it. And what we’ve done is the ultimate AI system. We took the core bot. You’re getting with all of the AI, all of the bot add-ons for all the different niches. You’re getting all of the training, all the certification, lifetime updates, and lifetime support. And this thing works on every platform possible. You’re getting everything that you need to get in the game with AI for a one-time investment of $5,000, unless you qualify for the small business technology grant. If you’re making less than 10 million, we’re going to give you an instant $5,000 discount, bringing the one-time investment to only $2500.
So, what you need to do right now is go ahead and click on that button and let’s get you rocking because by now you know that AI is the future. And by now you realize that having a chatbot that can help you with leads and sales and support 24 hours a day is going to change the game for you. And by now I hope that you realize that me and my team are the best absolute people to help you do this. If all this did for you was help you generate more leads. If all this did was help you convert a higher percentage of people into sales or to create a new revenue stream in your spare time, if all it were to do was help you work while you’re sleeping or while you’re traveling, is it worth more than $2,500? I mean, if you really stop and think about a $2,500 investment, I’ve got way more than 2500 hours of my own personal time into this system, into these bots, into this training. So, this is the equivalent of I mean, would you hire me for a dollar an hour? All right, if you would hire me for a dollar an hour, you should be clicking on that button and getting this thing started because once you do, you’re never going to be alone and we’re going to do this thing together. I got to jump in real quick. Absolutely. Wow, Matt, this offer is absolutely insane. This is really everything people need to succeed with bots and AI. And this is the big thing right now. You know, doesn’t matter what kind of traffic, you know, you’re generating. Doesn’t matter what kind of business you have, what is your market, you need bots and AI fine-tuned for your business to make the most of your traffic and to, as I said before, uh to to continue to be competitive and nowadays scenario. So, and and this price, it’s unbelievably low, uh especially with a crazy discount. So, if you have a business, this is a no-brainer, especially for leads and sales. If you’re new to business, getting out because AI is the greatest opportunity of our lifetime without a shadow of a doubt. So, above all else, think about how much time this is going to save you. It’s not just about money, it’s about time as well. So, I really highly recommend you get started right now. Anyway, back to you, Matt. Thanks for an amazing training and offer. Thank you so much for the endorsement. That really means the world. I I’m excited to tell you we’re really just getting started here. And look, well, that’s probably more than enough to get this done. And hopefully you guys are clicking on the button, get started. I’m going to sweeten the pot a little bit more, make this even more exciting. So, all right, I promise you some extra bonuses. This is probably the biggest bonus in the history of bonuses. This is our marketing AI, and you’re going to get unlimited access to this thing. This is the ultimate AI marketing machine. Again, powered by hybrid AI like everything else that we do, but this thing does it all. It writes ebooks. It writes blog posts. It writes emails, Facebook ads, Instagram ads, YouTube ads, video scripts, articles, it generates image ads, generates funnel copy, headlines, gives business advice. You name it, this thing does it. And you will never all right, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever have to pay a monthly fee for this. All right? It’s free forever. This is the biggest bonus. We have some time a little bit later. I might uh show you how this thing works, but this is the biggest bonus in the history of bonuses. You’re getting the unlimited version and you get this free forever. All right. Jennifer said, “I purchased the system and have to say I am beyond impressed.” Um she said, and she used a different one of these tools, one of the more popular tools, and she was so impressed by what it pumped out. No edits needed, super high quality stuff. So, what it is, and as you’ll see here in just a little bit, you don’t need prompts. You don’t need anything. You literally just answer questions and this AI marketer does the work for you. Second bonus, if you’re like, man, Matt, I see that this is a massive opportunity in the AI industry or I want to be a bot reseller. How do I do this bot stuff? What what this is is this is the AI and bot business in a box. It’s everything that you need to get up and running and get clients in in AI and chatbot. And Shane said, you know, and I love it because he was, you know, you’ll see the recurring theme. Everybody kind of starts out, you know, a little skeptical. And then, you know, once he gets started, I immediately started getting more leads and more sales in my business. So, I thought, who can I help? This led to multiple streams of income. One from selling bots, one from using bots, and one from my referrals. And what the referrals refers to is once you get started to us, you can actually even if you don’t want to fulfill the businesses yourself, you can refer to people to us as an affiliate and we’ll pay you a huge percentage for anybody that you send our way. All right. Uh Jason again was skeptical. He said um and I was just like, man, just show this to somebody, right? Show them the bot. And I think within 24 hours, which is kind of a recurring theme, but he sold this to I think it was a car dealership and they paid $3,000 and he got paid every time it generated a lead forever in perpetuity. All right. Jay said, “I’m still relatively new, but want to share I managed to get my first private client last week without even taking them through the sales bot demo. By the way, don’t do that. Let the bot sell for you.” All right. I thought that was kind of funny. Um, third bonus is you’re like, “Okay, I don’t really want to get into the AI business. I like the idea of this affiliate thing. Like, how does this affiliate thing work?” What I’m going to do is give you the 300 best affiliate offers. And what this means is imagine all the products and services in the world that you can have your bot sell and then you get paid a commission on them. Um, and we we give you all the best products on the three best platforms. All right? Amazon, ClickBank, and JBZoo. So, we’ve done all the product research. You can add any of these affiliate products to your bot. All right? And then you use a lead generation quiz to generate the leads and then it follows up for you and not only sells them one affiliate product, it can sell them multiple affiliate products and you get paid a commission on every single sale. And of course, we’ll teach you how to do all of this stuff in the training. And these are some of the kind of products that you have like electronics and gadgets, toys and games, books and ebooks, all these various products. Some of these are going to pay much higher commission than others, right? You can get paid 40, 50, 60% when you’re selling, you know, stuff to e uh e-commerce and business and investing. Obviously, electronics, you’re selling a flat screen TV is going to be less, but just know that we’ve done all of the research for you. All right, fourth bonus. Matt, this is amazing. So much I just don’t know where to start. Well, the good news is is we’ve got real people here who are here to help you. So, one of the things you’re going to get is you’re going to get on the phone with one of our business adviserss who’s going to make sure that you’re up and running, answer any questions that you have, and point you in the right direction. All right. Um, at this point, we’ve had thousands of satisfied customers. I’m proud to say we’ve got a virtually flawless reputation online. We’ve been doing this since 2018 because we’re not perfect. We’re not at all perfect. But the thing is is we just care and we just do our best to make sure that you’re taken care of and so you can count on when you get started with bot builders, you’re not going to be in this thing alone. The fifth bonus, if you’re like, “Man, Matt, how do I really blow this thing up? I want to grow.” All right, we’re really, really good um ads, especially on Meta, which is Facebook and Instagram. So, I’m going to give you the full crash course. I showed you in our ad panel earlier the kind of money that we spend. I’m going to show you how we do it. All right. And just to brag for a minute, um, when we first started building, uh, chat bots, Facebook found out about the bots that we were building and they did a case study on one of them and we were able to prove a 59% decrease in cost per conversion. So, every customer we acquiring was 59% less. So, you know, I just humility aside, I can definitely teach you a lot when it comes to generating leads and saving money on advertisements. Sixth and final bonus is the automated lead machine. So this is okay Matt, I want to grow, but I don’t want to spend money on ads. This is how do you use Instagram to do this all organically so you don’t have to spend money on advertisements. And if you’re wondering, will this thing work with my blank tool? Okay, the answer is probably yes. Integrates with 1,500 different tools, pretty much every modern tool I’ve ever seen. I still don’t know of any that it hasn’t integrated with. We use various tools like Zapier and Make to to do this. But the good news is we help you out. And if you’re wondering if it integrates, absolutely yes it does. And does this work with other programs you’ve had? If you’re like me, you buy a lot of programs. The answer is yes, it works with other programs. We’ve made it so that it doesn’t matter what it is that you use. Okay? It’s all going to work together seamless. This is this is of all the systems and things that you’ve bought. This is the one that’s going to make all of them fit together and finally create less work. All right, so just to kind of recap here really quickly, you’re getting the AI powered profits course, the AI specialist certification, um once you finish the course, um our core chatbot, which you know, we’ve sold bots for much more than that. So I think that’s a real world value. All of the niche bot add-ons for all the niches that I showed you and more. the chat G GBT bot booster, all of the training courses, um the AI marketing tool, which you get for life, no monthly fees ever, the bot business in a box system, all the best affiliate products if you want to sell other people’s stuff, the Meta Ads crash course, and the Instagram auto lead machine. If you were to add up the total value of this, you’re talking over $51,000 for a onetime payment. All right, but here’s where it gets even better. Okay, if you’re somebody who, man, I want to do this, right, but I don’t have $2,500, then you do have the option to get started on a payment plan. In fact, for $500, when you click on that button right now, you can get started and get access to everything here for a $500 payment and then four additional monthly payments of $500. And you might be thinking to yourself, well, Matt, don’t people usually charge more to do the payment plan? Yes, they do. Guess what? I’m not going to do that. Why? Because like if money’s that tight, I would much rather you save your money. Okay? I I mean I when I got started in business, I was waiting tables in a Spanish restaurant um on the weekends just I mean literally just every single night counting dollar bills, you know, every single month counting dollar bills to pay my rent. So I want to I want you to be able to get up and running with this thing. So, if you want it bad enough, you can scrape $500 together and make this happen. Okay? If you’re not serious, just don’t do it. But we wanted to make sure that if if you’re sincere and you want to get going, click on that button, okay? 500 bucks, you’re in the game and you get everything here. Um, we won’t give you the AI artwork until you’ve paid in full, just to be fair. Obviously, that’s a big expense for us, but you get access to everything else, right? All the AI tools, all the pre-built bots, the chat GPT, you get the bot business in a box, you can build lots, the course, the certification, everything for $500 today. Or not, right? Because you might look at this and go, “Oh man, you know, maybe not.” A lot of people didn’t think the internet was going to be a big thing. Internet may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it. Call, right? If you’re not into it, don’t do it. But if you’re sitting there and you’re like, “Man, I need to do this.” Just freaking do it. All right. And if you’re wondering, are you going to help us? The answer is absolutely yes. We’re an award-winning customer service company. We pride ourselves. We call it legendary support. All right? We do a lot of things that you might not be used to. We have a live orientation every week where myself and my co-founder Nick Fashan get on. All right? And actually show you the ropes and tell you how you can get help. All right. We’ve got all sorts of different ways that you can get help for our company. Um, we we really like we care so much about your success and we guard our reputation with our life. We want to make sure there’s never been anybody in the history of the world that’s ever said, “Boy, those people at Botbuilders, they won’t help me.” All right. They are the gold standard, the best go-to company to work with and highly recommended by me and so many others. Over the past years, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on various programs. Never have I found a program that offers all the features, training, and excellent support that Botbuilders has to offer. They absolutely go the extra mile to offer help and assistance. After I entered into Botbuilders, I was amazed at the front runners in the industry. I was blown away when I dived into bot builders training. The attention to detail, the enthusiasm, step-by-step manner, which is all put together, is over the top. I’ve been through tons of courses and trainings and never found anything like this. The dedication to outstating quality, thoroughess, and authenticity is unmatched, and it’s backed with real care and love, which in my experience is extremely rare. This is beyond amazing. All right, but you’ll only find out when you click on that button and you get this thing started. All right, again, a one-time payment. Oh, and by the way, I want to be fair to those people that have paid in full because might be like, “Oh, man, that’s a ripoff. Like, I paid in full. What’s up with that?” What I didn’t tell you is we actually give you a whole bunch more additional bonuses. One of them is a really good one, right? When you pay in full, you’re going to instantly get a whole bunch of additional bonuses in addition to these. I just didn’t want to list bonuses forever. That’s going to unlock when you pay in full. If you’re making a payment plan, what we’re going to do is we’re going to have that the the additional bonuses unlock after you make your final payment. Okay? And you’ll also be able to get that AI artwork after you’ve made your last payment. Okay? So, we’re going to do a Q&A here in just a second. Um, but just the bottom line is you can say goodbye to dry trying to do things on your own. You can say goodbye to constantly playing catchup. Say goodbye to the old way to do things. And say hello to having me and my team behind you. Right? One of our core company values here is we’ve got your back. And when we say it, we truly mean it. Say hello to finally getting ahead of a trend. You’re going to have missed every trend in the world. All you need is just one. And say hello to a new way of doing business. All right. Remember that automation can pay you back in multiple ways. If you’re a business owner or you want to be a business owner, you got to make investments. You’re not a business owner if you’re not investing in things. Okay? And remember, automation is the investment that can pay you back both in time and in money. And at this point, you’ve already decided, step one, you decided you want AI working for you. And then step two, you decided you wanted me and my team behind you. You made these decisions and that’s why you’re still here. The thing is, if you haven’t pulled the trigger, there might be a third step that you need to think about, and that’s to remember why you’re making this investment here today. Like, why? What’s your reason for it? All the chat bots and the AI, all this stuff, but why why does this really matter to you? And and at the beginning of this webinar, I told the story about our son, Noah. Um, and I wanted to to share this really really quick story with you. Um because you know when we first found out that um Noah had hearing loss he was having a lot of challenges and I won’t really go into it but you know it’s it’s you know had some swelling of the head and we were really really scared and you know he was able to like you know say some words and then he lost his ability to talk and it was you know if you’re a parent and you’ve been in one of these situations you know it’s just it’s just frightening and you know we kept going to the doctor and we said well you know doctor do you think that he’s having challenges with his hearing you know is like one of the symptoms that he’s experiencing and you know doctor’s like no hey hey Noah you know he can hear us he’s fine and finally we we took him to a specialist and they did an initial test and doctor’s like yeah look it’s not looking too good when you need to bring him in and you know do a formal procedure and when they have a child um what they need to do is they they have to to to put the child under and u I remember it was like a freezing cold day and when we were leaving uh Noah got to take one toy with him and and He chose that’s Bob, our our mascot. He chose Bob off the top shelf. And um you know, he was just he was having a hard day. He was just crying and just super scared. And um so that the doctor took you know, he took a little one of those little bracelets and put it on Bob and put a little cap on Bob. So I like to say that if a if a bot can make a sad kid in the hospital happy, a bot can do anything. But, you know, really the more important reason for the story is, you know, when they finally got Noah under and, you know, he’s lying on this big, you know, big cod and they got all these electrodes, you know, hooked up to his head and there’s this huge monitor and you know how it is if you’ve ever had a loved one, you know, in a health situation. It’s like it’s like pins and needles, you know, and I’m just remember sitting there. I’m like looking at the doctor and I’m just you know kind of waiting and finally the doctor looks at me and she says you know sorry Mr. lights, you know, your your son does have significant hearing loss and it is going to be permanent. You know, it’s like when you get news like that, all the money in the world, you don’t you don’t care about money. You don’t care about any of that stuff. Um, so that very day, I mean, I remember going home and, you know, talking with my wife and we decided that night and we were I mean, you know, we had the, you know, the the home overlooking the ocean and the cool beach, you know, the whole cool beach office and we said, “All right, we’re going to just work from home. We’re packing up. We’re moving back to to Phoenix, Arizona. We’re going to be by family and we’re going to focus all the time and energy that we need to help Noah.” And we could only do that because we had a business that was running with automation, right? We we couldn’t have done that if if it took all the, you know, our my time and energy to to build. And and the thing is is that, you know, that’s the picture on the left. You look at the picture on the right. Now, here’s the good news, right? Like thanks to technology with some high-powered hearing aids, Noah can communicate. I mean, it’s just it’s such a blessing. So he, you know, he was really far behind. But now I’m happy to say, you know, he’s he’s doing phenomenal. But I can tell you that the day that Noah got his hearing aids, he was not too happy about it, right? First of all, cuz he couldn’t hear, right? And he’s very sensitive around his head, you know, and and so there the doctor’s trying to put these things in and he is flipping out like going nuts like like just screaming. I mean, for hours and like the the the doc I mean people probably thought somebody was being murdered and it just took forever to get these things in. When they finally got him home, okay, we got him on the couch and we gave him that’s that’s his best buddy there, Buzz Lightyear. And he turned on his favorite movie, Toy Story. And what you’re seeing here is the first time that he ever fully could understand the words being said in a movie. And just look at him. and it just lit up like a Christmas tree. And I share that because a lot like Noah with his hearing aids, he didn’t get it. You know, it’s like how do you explain like, “Oh, this thing is like technology. It’s going to help you, right?” It’s the same way with you and AI and chat bots. You probably like see this and you’re like, “Oh, it sounds great.” But you don’t get it. You’re like flows and AI and all like you’re not going to get it. The same way that Noah didn’t get the hearing until he had his hearing aids in and could hear it for himself. You’re not going to get this chatbot and AI stuff until you see it with your own eyes. Until you step up, pull out your wallet, get the thing started, set up your chatbot, you know, get in there, and then leads come in and you see these conversations happening and like, “Oh my gosh.” like it collects an email notes collecting information. Oh, cool. Booked an appointment. When you see that with your own eyes, everything changes. But you’re not going to know unless you give yourself a chance, right? Technology is one of those things you’re not going to understand everything. You’re just not. You just got to know, hey, is this something that I think is a good idea? Can this help me launch a business, grow a business? If so, is this an investment that’s worthwhile? And just know that you’ve got me and my team behind you every step of the way. Richard Branson said it really well. somebody offers you an amazing opportunity, but you’re not sure if you can do it, say yes, then learn how to do it. And what’s great is we’ve done most of the work, and we’re going to help you every single step of the way. So, now is the time to take action. You’ve already decided you want this. You already decided you want our help. You just got to step up and do this thing. Click the button and get started. And I want to give you a 10-minute warning here, okay? Because I know everybody says limited time bonuses. We actually back our stuff up. So, in 10 minutes, um team, if you guys could in the chat, uh if you could take down, um bonus number six, the Instagram, take that down, um when the timer hits zero, that would be great. Um I just know people don’t take action unless you got to move. Um if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it, you know. But if you’re going to do it, just just take action. Make it happen. 2500 bucks one time or five times times 500. All right, so I got another demo coming up for you here in just a second. Um, we’re going to show you the marketing system, one of the bonuses that you’re getting. I think you’re going to be pretty blown away by this thing. I want to tell you a really, really quick story because, you know, I tried to make the money thing as as feasible as possible for you. Like, if 500 bucks is tough, I don’t even have to tell you like you need to do something different. You already know that, right? I’m not here to beat you up. If 500 bucks is tough, you need to do something. It’s not the time to sit on your last 500 bucks. Time to make a move. Um, but you know, a lot of times people get on this and they’re like, “Man, I’m doing so many things. I got all this business stuff going on. I bought all these programs. I’m busy with church. I’m doing all these kind of things.” This is a this is a story my my good friend um told me one time, we were at like a a mastermind event and they they sold this mastermind program and I was like, “Man, I should do that, but I’m too busy.” and uh he’s a sales guy. So he said he said, “Matt, waiting for the perfect time to do something, it’s like waiting for the perfect time to take a cross-country road trip, right? Waiting to to do a trip across the country, but not wanting to start that trip until all the lights are green at the same time, right? Everything just lines up perfect.” He said, “It never happens. It is never the perfect time. It never is.” And let’s face it, if you don’t have enough time, it’s because you need things to help you. You need to make investments into things that can help free your time. And that’s what automation can do for you. So, it is not the perfect time. It’s not. And if you’re waiting for the perfect time, I’m sorry. I can’t help you. You just got to recognize, is this something that can get you where you want to go faster? Is this something that if you put in some money, you can get some more money out? All right. So, let’s go ahead. I promised you a demo. We got a few minutes here. I’m going to jump in and All right. So, cool. We’re inside of our marketing AI here. I’m just going to kind of show you a quick demo. And this thing can do all sorts of stuff. I mean, ebooks, articles, blogs, advertisements, email copy, funnel copy, you know, and and really, we made it so that it’s so easy to if you’ve got content, you want to rewrite it. Boom. This is your your ticket here. Um, but let’s just say I want to uh advertisements. I can do a video ad, a Facebook ad, a a Google ad, and and literally the whole thing is just step by step. All right, who’s your target audience? And and literally, you just go next, next, next, next. And there’s all of these I mean, you know, if you want to write All right, you want to write email, it’s great. What do you want to write? Uh uh single email. How about an email sequence? Great. Uh what kind of sequence you want to write? Okay, welcome sequence. Let me just say I’ll just show this how this works here. All right. what problem they have. Um, need more leads. Okay. What’s the name of your company? I mean, it’s you literally just answer questions. What do we sell? Um, AI training. All right. Whose name is it sent from? Night lights. What relationship do you have with the author? All right. So, say owner. I’ll say oops. say founder and CEO. What value can the readers expect from opening your emails? Um so let’s just say um tips on AI, discounts on services. What specific points would you like to include? What’s unique about your company? Uh, make it easy for people with zero tech skills. What’s the most important action you want your readers to take? Okay, so like test drive a car, register for an event. Let’s say uh register for free webinar. What tone of voice do you want it written in? Let’s say fun. And check this out. All right, your first your first email, which is the immediate one. It gives you subject lines. Welcome builders. Let the leads pour in. All right, you could write your own or you can just like pick one of these. Great. All right, second email, which is going to be educational value email. Um, you know, pick one of these that that curiosity killed the cat but can save your business. Love it. All right, the third email is going to have some emotional appeal. Journey from drought to triumph in the world of AI training from empty I like this one from empty inbox to thriving leads. And the fourth one is kind of written as a direct promotion it says here. So um unlock the secret to endless leads with AI. All right. Love it. And just like that, right? That’s it. You just answer some questions and next thing you know, you got an entire email sequence, right? That’s written in my voice, right? And you’ll see these are different. And this is again, it’s hybrid AI. So you can ask Chad GPT to write an email sequence, but guess what? It’s not going to have one that’s going to be written in, you know, with an emotional appeal and then one that’s going to be written, you know, is a promotion. It’s not going to have that variation. and it’s not going to be imagine it’s a a rainy Tuesday. It’s just not going to produce this stuff. Unfortunately, that’s the way it is. Now, here’s what’s really cool because there’s other AI tools out there now. They don’t have my copywriting behind it. But let’s just say you’re like, “Oh, you know, this one’s all right, but I want to just, you know, I want to um I can completely rewrite it with AI.” Or if I wanted to, and by the way, you can just if you wanted to, you can just go in here and just say, yeah, you know, you can you can edit it yourself and just save changes. Or you can have AI make the changes. All right. And you can say, let’s say, I like the email, but I want to add a paragraph at the end about how chat GPT can become your best friend.
And just like that, it’s going to give you the same email, right? Boom. Now, imagine having a trust companion right by your side, one that works tireously to generate leads, and you got a whole sequence. And then, guess what? You want to write another email sequence, great. You want to generate some ideas, you need help with your business, it’s all right here. So, you know, obviously, we give you the training on how to use this stuff. I mean, it not only writes ebooks, by the way, it actually design ebooks as well. So, it’ll even give you a cover. I’ve never seen any other tool that does this. Um, so, you know, you can figure this out just by clicking buttons, but we do, of course, include the training with this as well. All right, so let’s jump back over. All right, cool. All right, so with that, I think we’re going to jump in the Q&A here. And I know our team has handled a lot of these. So, and by the way, if I missed your question, because there’s a lot of stuff, um, you can always email supportbotubuilders.com or if we missed it, we’ll go back and we’ll we’ll reply to you later. I promise you. All right. So, is this a one-time or monthly investment? The $2,500 is a one-time investment. If you do the break it into payments, you’ll have you’ll pay 500 now and then 500 500 500 500. Um, you do need to buy uh Minihat. You get started for 15 bucks a month. Um, I’m horrible at technology. Can I have somebody else do this for me? Yep, definitely. No problem. Um, you know, here’s the thing. You can do it. Just because you’re horrible with technology, you can do it. Now, some people are going to go a little faster than others, right? People always ask how long this takes, and I’ll answer that question, too. Um, you know, because if you’ve never used a marketing tool, then you got to just familiarize yourself. But it’s all step-by-step tutorials. It’s all go here, click this, do this. So, you can do it, but if you want to have somebody on your team or a family member, whoever, no problem. Just let our team know. We’ll get you the login. We’ll get you taken care of. Um, how long does it take to do? Now, there’s a lot of stuff in here. And, and like I told you, we give you even more trainings than what I promised you. You don’t have to do all the trainings. You know, if you don’t want to run ads, don’t take the ad training. If you don’t want to use Instagram, don’t take the Instagram training. You know, um, I would recommend the AI training. Um, you know, that’s I don’t know, probably less I don’t know, maybe like 8 to 12 hours, just a guess. Um, no, actually it’s probably less than that. Yeah, it’s less than 10 hours for sure. But I mean, it’s thorough. It’s just very, very efficient. Now, the bot, if you’re going to set up your chatbot, you know, that might be depending on how quick you are with this stuff, you probably do it in a weekend. Um, you know, it’s just some people go a little slower than others. But the good news is is like we’ve got thousands and thousands of hours into this. So just imagine you’re all you’re doing is you’re just following the the tutorials. You’re customizing the things as you go. And if you get stuck, we’ll help you out. All right. Um
does it integrate with MailChimp? It integrates with everything. So um yeah, I I I haven’t seen anything it doesn’t integrate with.
Okay. Okay. Do I need anything else? I think it covered Minihat. Um, so you need Minihat. Um, is this a tax write off? Oh, yeah. I mean, it’s a business expense, so definitely, for sure. Write it off on your business. Um,
does the bot speak Spanish? Great question. Okay, so what’s great is the AI automatically can answer in any language. somebody types in in doesn’t matter Swahili. It’ll answer in Swuahili. Um so automatically the AI automatic. Now the bot flows like the the things that I showed you kind of like the choose your own adventure kind of things. You’re going to have to edit those cuz we only made those in English. But it’s really not that bad. You can just go in and you basically just, you know, type in the words because you know people say, “Well, can’t you auto translate?” I don’t think there’s a tool to auto translate, but I would do it manually because I use a lot of sarcastic jokes and stuff, so it’s probably not going to translate exactly, but it’s not that bad. You just go in the boxes and just edit it. Okay. Um,
oh, are there bots on LinkedIn? So, there are not. Now, you can add a link to your bot from LinkedIn and you can send people to any of the other platforms. LinkedIn does not allow chat bots. Okay? So, anybody that you see that’s doing automation on LinkedIn, they’re breaking the rules. We only do stuff that’s like above board. So, we don’t do any of this stuff that’s like can get you because just imagine like you run you run a bot on LinkedIn. Now, when LinkedIn opens it up and I saw I told you guys Tik Tok like these platforms are opening up. Guess what? We’re on it. Boom. We’re there. Um, and the cool thing is is you can use LinkedIn in a lot of other ways to drive people um to your chatbot, but um it’s not yet on LinkedIn. So, great question. Um, that’s about it. Yeah. Well, you know what’s left? I I don’t know. I I can’t see the timer because I’m looking at the screen, but um you know, if the timer is out, you still can get all of the bonuses plus the extra bonuses that aren’t listed. Um, only there’s only one bonuses that bonus that was removed uh after 10 minutes. So, all right. I think that’s about it. Um, unless anybody’s got anything that’s I think we’re pretty good. Um, I do want to say this. Thank you so much for being on here. Um, you know, I know that people like to read off all the people that got started. If you got started, thanks. That’s, you know, the biggest compliment. I mean, we just met you. you know, the fact that you’re you’re here and you’re, you know, believing in our company. Just know that, you know, we’re going to go to the end of the earth. We’re going to help you out. We’re gonna support you and help you. Um, you know, if you didn’t get started, it’s all good. You know, um, you know, maybe there’s another way we can help you later. You know, hopefully you got value. That’s the most important thing. I hope I really want to make sure um that you got value from this and that you know that this is just the beginning of what we can do um for your business. Everything that we do here at Botbuilders is all about automation. How do we help you grow? How do we help you get there faster? Um, and I just, you know, appreciate the fact that you showed up. So, thank you so much. Um, I don’t think I have anything else for you other than say, you know, keep going and and remember that we’re in this thing together. So, with that said, I am signing off. Take care.

True Trading Group – FOMC Minutes and Jobs Data
Hey yo, what’s up everybody? What’s going on folks? Welcome to the True Training Group live stream. I’m thrilled to have you guys all here with me this evening. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend but are ready to get down to business because we’ve got a very important pivotal week in store for us this week. This week we have the Jackson Hole meeting. Now the Jackson Hole conference is something that happens every year and every year the chairman of the Federal Reserve this obviously Mr. Jerome Pal himself will be giving a speech. He gives a speech or the chairman of the Fed gives a speech every single time that there is the Jackson Hall which is towards the end of August. It is a multi-day event. It is taking place Thursday, Friday, Saturday and we will be getting Jerome Pal speaking at the end of this week and it will absolutely the speech that he gives will absolutely move the market. We need to game plan for it. We’ve got to prepare. We’ve got to have ironed out exactly what we are going to do, what we’re going long, what we’re going short, what we’re buying calls in, what we’re buying puts in. Depending on what Draw Pal says, Draw Pal could give us some insight into we’re ready for rate cuts. Or he might say we’re not ready for raid cuts and depending on what he says is going to make the markets move, I think, in actually a very big way. So, I hope you guys are ready to dive in. I’ve got a ton of different trade ideas I want to go over with you the exact game plan laid out for you on a silver platter exactly how I plan on making money this week. So, welcome. For those that do not know, my name is Michael Edward Parinati. I go by Michael Edward. I’m the co-founder and head trader of True Trading Group. I’m thrilled to have you guys all here with us tonight. TTG literally exists to help you guys all learn, learn faster, trade smarter, and profit sooner. That is exactly what we’re going to be doing tonight on this live stream. Of course, your trading group is very proud to be powered by the NASDAQ, Benzinga, OpenAI, Trading View, Data Bento, and Unusual Wales. You guys, you see TTG is an awardwinning platform. We received the 2024 Benzinga fintech award for best AI analysis tool. This platform is entirely integrated with literally industry-leading AI technology for retail traders. It is built on education.

That’s exactly what we do and that’s exactly what we are going to be doing here tonight on this live stream is going to be getting you guys prepared to make some money here this week. See, members of TGD are part of something real special, and I couldn’t be any more proud and happy to be on this journey with each and every single one of them. So, hope you guys are ready to roll your sleeves up tonight and get down to business. So, this is your first time hanging out on True Training Group’s YouTube channel. Do yourself a favor, hit that subscribe button. When you’re done with that, smash that like button, show us some love, and then when you’re done with that, turn on your notifications. Make sure you never miss out on any of these live streams. I share with you guys trade ideas, positions I’m in, positions I’m getting into, market analysis, commentary and education that can help you guys become better traders, and most importantly, it can help you guys all make money. Let’s be real. That’s why you guys are here. You’re not here on a Sunday evening just because you like looking at the painting that hangs behind me. No, you’re here because you guys want to figure out how you can make money in the markets this week. And I’m going to prepare you to do exactly that. The next thing I want you to do once you’re done doing all that, the next thing I want you to do is make sure you’re watching this video live. Okay, you should see a red dot at the bottom left of your screen on YouTube next to the word live. If you do not see a red dot, that means you’re watching this video delayed. So, click the word live. It’ll bring you right up to speed. You’ll see the red dot there, and you guys will know that you’re watching this in real time and you’re not looking at any type of a delay. Okay, fantastic. Now, I know some of you that are maybe new to the channel, you might be wondering, who is this guy? Why should I listen to what he has to say? And the truth is, it’s not because I believe that I’m the world’s greatest trader. I don’t. That the reason why I think you should listen to what it is I discuss on this channel. A, yes, I’m a damn good trader and I know what I’m talking about. But the reason why you should pay attention is is because I didn’t figure this stuff out on my own. You know, I didn’t have to watch YouTube videos. I didn’t have to sit in Discord chats. I didn’t have to go through Reddit pages. You know, I began my trading career right out of college. My very first job was working at TT Alpha Fund in New York City. And while there, they had me go through a training program. Before they let me touch $1 of their money, I was trained by professionals on Wall Street. That’s how I got my start. And then shortly after that, 2008 happened and that was the great recession, the huge stock market crash. But that’s also the same year that I received one of the firms trader of the year awards. Now you fast forward, I’m the co-founder and head trader of True Trading Group along with my team of eight other professional full-time trading moderators and an over 30 person staff. We’ve helped thousands of members from all over the world reach their goals. True Trading Group has over 10,000 members in 114 different countries. Truly a global community here at True Trading Group. We trade stocks, we trade options, we trade futures, we day trade, we swing trade, we cover long-term investing. There’s literally something for everybody here at TTG. So, like I said, smash that like button, show us some love, subscribe, turn on notifications, make sure you guys never miss out on any of these streams and let’s get ready to rumble. No, I’m only kidding. Let’s get down to business. Let’s talk about how we’re going to make some money this week. Again, tonight, this is going to be a really big week. So, for those of you that are not members, if you guys have been kind of like sitting there on the sideline, maybe you really haven’t taken advantage of this epic stock market rally that we’ve experienced with stocks like Invidium, Palunteer, and Broadcom, all these up at these all-time highs, the recent rally that we’ve had in Ethereum. If you have not taken advantage of this stuff, then you are here on this live stream at the very moment. Okay? You’re here at the perfect moment because I think that this week coming up, there’s going to be a ton of opportunity for us to make money. A ton. I think you’re going to get a lot of volatility this week with this Jackson Hall meeting. I really do. I think there’s a lot riding on this. I think everybody feels like the market is extended. I think everybody feels like the market’s expensive, but we just haven’t really, the markets have not really found a reason for us to really pull back significantly. You had the hotter than expected PPI inflation number and the markets looked right through it. We didn’t get a pullback. The markets looked right through it. The markets are still convinced that the Fed is going to cut rates at the September Fed meeting. Markets are still think you’re at an 86% probability of a Fed of the Federal Reserve cutting rates at the September meeting by 25 basis points. 86%. Even though you just got the hotter than expected PPI number. Now, that PPI inflation number was funky. Funky funky to say the least. There’s a lot of things in that number that really to me just did not make a whole lot of sense. In investment advisory services fees up 5.8%. What the hell is that? That’s not something that’s actually going to continue to be an inflationary pressure. That’s not something that’s anything related to tariffs. You had the numbers and stuff that was in that report that really wasn’t even related a lot to tariffs. You did have machinery was up a lot. Machinery, equipment, wholesale was up a lot. That is tariff impacted. But you take a look at that number. I think that’s why the market looked through a lot of it because a lot of it was like oneoff blips that are are not calculated the same way in the PCE number which is the inflation gauge that the Federal Reserve actually cares about the most. And that’s why the markets really kind of look through it. Now I can spend an entire hour on this live stream going through with you why that PE what about the PPI number was kind of funky. Why do the markets look right through that PPI number? Why did the markets not sell off when you got a much higher than expected inflation number for PPI? I can spend the next hour talking about that. I’m not going to because I would much rather spend the next hour talking about not why a number is particularly what it is, but I would rather talk about how we are going to make money this week. That is what I care about. I don’t necessarily really care about anything else. I don’t care about politics. I don’t care about geopolitical stuff. I don’t care about any of it. All I care about is what can I do? Where can I put my money so I can make more of it? What can I do so that my money makes money for me? What can I do to help the 10,000 members from 114 different countries that are part of this TTG family? What can I do to help them make money? Because at the end of the day, that’s what this is all about. That’s all that matters. You know, there once was a time where trading was only for people that had a lot of money and had a lot of free time. That is no longer the case with the technology that we have today with the creation of these trading apps like a Robin Hood or like just the mobile platforms on like a Thinker Swim, an Erade, a Weeble, you know, you have like uh platforms like Ninja Trader for futures. You have all this AI technology like Mari, which is our award-winning AI um trading co-pilot that received the benzing a fintech award for best AI analysis tool. These these things these these specific pieces of technology are making it easier than ever before for the average person to take advantage of what is taking place in the overall markets. The stock market is the greatest equalizer in the world. We just found I’ll give you the perfect example, perfect example of how this is the greatest equalizer. Okay, Warren Buffett is worth hundred billion dollars, right? The greatest investor that this world has ever seen. And literally just this past week, it was announced that Warren Buffett had bought five million shares of United Health, ticker symbol UNH. And he bought those shares at an average of just under $312 a share. At the time that this was made public, United Health was trading in the 290s. Every single person on this live stream would have the exact same opportunity to buy the exact same stock at an even lower price than Warren Buffett just bought it. The stock market doesn’t care where you came from. The stock market doesn’t care what your GPA was. Doesn’t care where you went to went to college or if you did. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Doesn’t matter who you love. Doesn’t matter where you came from. None of it matters who you pray to or if you pray at all. The market doesn’t care. And people that shy away from the stock market because they think it’s, oh, that’s that’s not for me. There’s nothing that drives me more clinically insane than when somebody says to me, “The stock market’s not for me.” Why not? Making money is not for you. Investing in your family’s future and making sure that your children live a better life than you lived is not for you. What about that is not for you. You don’t need to be good at math. You don’t need to have gone to an Ivy League school. You don’t need to have worked on Wall Street. You don’t need to have millions of dollars. You don’t need to have all the time in the world to sit in front of a computer screen and stare at charts and scanners and screeners. That’s not the case anymore. If you talked to me 25, 30 years ago, yeah, you would have to call up your broker, right? It would take you god knows how long to actually execute a trade. You’d have to read the newspaper to see what your stock did the day before, never mind what’s actually the stock is doing at that moment in time. Yes, you talked to me a couple decades ago, then that statement would have been true. It is not true anymore. And there’s no greater proof and evidence of that than the members that we have here at True Training Group that are making money that are becoming successful and that are realizing and reaching dreams and goals that they never thought previously were possible thanks to the technology that exists today. The scary thing is the AITD won the award for is a dinosaur compared to what TG has now. This is actually true and it all happened in less than a year. Boom. Yes. So market ninja. So we received the AI award in 2024. Since that in the eight months that we have had here so far in 2025, we have dramatically enhanced, upgraded and improved our AI platform. It is leaps and bounds better than what won the award back in 2024. Okay. Um so listen, winning awards is great, right? Winning awards is great. It’s it’s the the recognition. It’s it’s fantastic. Okay. But this this isn’t just about awards, you know. Also, you want another question? How legit is True Trading Group? Like, how legit is this platform? How legit is their AI product? Not only is it is our product improved and upgraded, but my business partner Adam, who’s the co-founder of True Trading Group and the mastermind behind everything that is the AI that is on our platform, he’s actually going to be speaking on a panel with perplexity in November on the topic of AI agents and finance. AI agents and finance.
Adam is going to be speaking on that panel with perplexity. That is True Trading Group. True Trading Group has an a partnership agreement, a data partnership agreement directly with the NASDAQ themselves. We have a partnership with Benzinga. We have a partnership with Unusual Wales. There’s a reason why all these companies work with TTG is because they see and recognize what we are doing leading the industry in this technology. And our technology is not just some little sexy buzzword that’s meant to just perk your ears up and and get you interested in a sales pitch. Our technology and our AI is designed to do one thing and one thing only. Help our members make money a lot more easily and a lot more consistently. And it does exactly that. And you don’t have to believe me just because I say it on a live stream. You shouldn’t believe me honestly just because I say something on a YouTube channel. You should believe me because this is what our members tell you. Members of TTG and I’ll prove it to you. Members of True Training Group that are on this live stream right now. I know there’s many of you that are with me here tonight. You guys show up every single Sunday when I do these live streams to show support but also to figure out how we’re going to make money this week. And I appreciate I love every single one of you. But for those of you that are not members, I want you to pay very close attention right now to what our members have to say. Members of True Trading Group, I want you to go ahead right now, type the number one. If you guys are making money and you are becoming better traders because of the TTG platform that you are a part of, just go ahead right now and type the number one. And anybody else that is on the stream that is not a member, the only thing that you should be doing is paying attention to how many people that you see type the number one in the YouTube chat. Because every single person that you see typed the number one was once in your exact same position right now. They were a viewer on a live stream and they were trying to figure out is True Training Group the place for them? Do I want to join this platform? Do I want to join this community? And now here they are telling you I did I did join the community. I took the leap. I made an investment in myself and in my future. And now I’m sitting here today living, breathing, telling you that I am making money and I’m becoming better at this. If they can do this, then so can you. There is absolutely no reason why these people can be successful and you can’t. They don’t have more time than you. 82% of our members have a full-time job. I don’t want to hear the excuse that I have a full-time job. We have truck drivers that are on the road 14 hours a day that are utilizing our mobile platform, our mobile component, our mobile app. They’re utilizing our technology to place swing trades while they’re on the road for 14 hours a day. If they can do this, so can you. It’s just that straightforward.
They’re not luckier than you. These members literally are you. They’re your friends, your family members, your co-workers, folks. If they can do it, so can you. TG members know exactly what is happening. Every day we are getting messages and comments on how I was never successful before. I am now thanks to True Trading Group, the education and having 247 access to the AI tool. It’s literally like chat GPT and a Bloomberg terminal had a baby. That is true trading group. So many say they regret not joining earlier. Fact members, type the number two. If you regret not joining True Trading Group sooner, type the number two. That is the best way that I can explain to you the True Trading Group platform. True Training Group is not just courses and a chat room and trade alerts. Yes, we have all of those things. We have courses. It’s a there. The courses are a simplified and expand upon version of the training I received working at the Fund in New York. Yes, we have the chat room and we have the moderators that send out trade alerts. They share their screens with you. They trade in front of you live. They’re with you the entire day. They’re answering questions or providing providing market commentary and analysis every single day. Yes, all of that is true.
But I think now when you look at the evolution of True Trading Group, we are now a fintech platform that gives retail traders an edge, not just a fighting chance. True Trading Group gives retail traders an advantage. an advantage over other retail traders. The harsh reality of this game, folks, is that you are not competing against yourself. You are competing against other people. When you place a trade, there is another person on the other side of that trade. If you buy a stock, that means somebody else just sold it. And if that person has more information, gets gets information faster, has better data, has better analysis, has better tools and resources at their disposal, they are going to beat you. When you make money in the stock market, it is not just created out of thin air. If you made it, that means somebody else lost it. But how can you compare with the big institutions with unlimited funds for making their own AI with their own data and partnerships?
compete.
Compete, not compare. We don’t need to.
We don’t need to,
right? You know, they’re they’re not interested in your account. They’re not
They’re not They’re not interested in your account.
Hold on. I’m dropping this.
They don’t have Adam. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, how can we compete? Listen, we we’ve spent we we’ve been working for about two and a half years on the AI. We’ve invested seven figures into it. And I mean, I can honestly say, I mean, I don’t know, how can we compete? We’re all We’re ahead. We’re not just competing. We’re ahead. We’re winning. Why didn’t one of those other firms win the Benzinga Fintech award? I don’t know. Why haven’t they gone and built something out? I mean, listen, there’s other platforms. There’s a lot of products out there, but and I expect that there will be, but you want to spend three $4,000 a year on on a trading co-pilot, or do you want to join True Trading Group for a few hundred bucks a year and and have access to an award-winning AI platform that’s going to help you guys make money.
You know, I can even honestly if you guys I can maybe see if Adam wants to hop on and see if he wants to have a a quick discussion about the AI if Adam’s here. If he’s Yeah. What’s up, dude? I know. I need a haircut. I just figured that I would I would give you give you a little help here. Um, so we don’t need to compete with an institution. That’s not our business model. Our business model is not to compete with, you know, automated trading funds and hedge funds and stuff like that or to get the one up on them. That’s not our business. Our business is to take all of the tools and data that they have for their big firms and put it in your hands in a way that anyone can use it and understand even if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s that’s what we have done. You have to think of the AI like a translator,
right? So you have all the access, all the tools, everything, and you are able to be on an even playing field because you’re able to have this stuff whereas before you may not have. What if you have no clue of how to start? Then welcome. You’re in the right place. Most people don’t have a clue of where to start. That’s why they’re here, right? If you don’t know and and honestly if you’re brand new, don’t know where to start or having doubt or whatever, we actually prefer a lot of those people sign up because it’s easier it’s a lot easier to like draft something on a new slate than it is to try and, you know, reverse a lot of bad habits. Yeah. So, if you don’t know where to start, then then you’re in the right place because let us, you know, let us and and we’re not trading for you or anything like that, but let us let us show you the right way to go about it. Let us give you the tools to put in your tool chest, right? When people have a certain amount of experience and they’re just like, “Oh, I think my issue is X.” when really their issue could be why it it doesn’t it doesn’t uh you know it doesn’t it’s it’s a little bit harder because people are naturally stubborn you know Mike himself you know um you know took a minute for the AI for him to be like hey this is something I can really use for sure you know but but to answer the question I just and I’m going to hop off I just really wanted to answer that question was this isn’t about competing with a hedge fund or competing with a company like open AI we use a fine-tuned version of an open AI model. Um, we’re not looking to um, you know, all of our data is through partnerships with other people. It’s not about creating a data algorithm, an AI model, or all these little catchphrases or an algo. It’s not about that. It’s about taking all of these tools, putting them in a place that is able to consider you, your experience, your, you know, your current state, where you’re at, how much time you have, don’t have, money you have, don’t have, your history, everything. Take all of those tools and with a natural language conversation give you the best possible chance to make money on a large scale. That is what this does. All right. So, that’s it. Thanks. Awesome, man. Thank you. Yeah. And God lives in me. Welcome to the welcome to the stream. I see. I appreciate the uh you know, participating in the question. Like I said, it definitely is is is the best place for you to be. Um and I saw you saw one of our other members was just commenting actually to you. I think it was uh Sherry says, “I’m 60 years old now. I’ve been with True Training Group for almost four years. I knew nothing when I joined. This is the best place I found and I’ve learned so much.” That’s from Sher. And then you have another comment that actually just came through from Agafa Fox. Agaf Fox says, “TGD is the real deal. Sincerity and professionalism is the motto here. We are family. We support each other without any judgment.” Uh fade doctor. Nice. I’m 53 today. Happy birthday, brother. That’s awesome, man. Happy birthday. Say Mari actually wishes me a happy birthday. That’s amazing. Uh Jennifer Blanchard also says, “Hey, look at this. I love this members. Look at that. This is fantastic. You have God lives in username God lives in me just was was the one saying hey what if you know a way to start members are responding look at this another Jennifer Blanchard says God lives in me I didn’t have a clue either they have so many resources in our video library um there are answers and classes for everything and the AI Mario that we have can make podcasts for you for lessons I mean look at this you’re seeing members actually commenting this is amazing I love this this is why I love the community that we have built here at true training because it’s it’s It’s it’s it’s real people helping real people, you know. It’s real people sharing their experiences, sharing their initial struggles and then where they are now and and how they’ve been able to succeed. Um I think that that’s really really important. I think it’s important to have that type of um camaraderie. I think it’s important to have that type of of support system um when you guys are doing this. So it’s like the thing about TTJ is great like you get the support from all the tools, the resource, the technology, the AI, but then you also get the support from the community and there’s no better combination I think when you when you combine the community that is True Trading Group with the technology that is TTG. I I just think there’s not a better place there’s not a better place for retail traders to succeed. And and and that is the reason why so many of our members do. And and again by succeed I I I don’t mean just wake up and feel good in the morning. I mean they’re actually making money. And in case you guys missed it when I asked before, I’ll just ask one more time. And I still have all my trade ideas for this week that I want to get into with you guys. But one more time, members, if you guys are making money with TTG, type the number one inside of chat right now. Just one more time. I’ll ask that question. Then we’re going to we’re going to get moving on how we’re going to make some money this week. But I really want to I really want to drive that point home that doesn’t matter where you are right now. Doesn’t matter how intimidated you feel. Doesn’t matter how much money you’ve lost in the past. When you guys decide to make the commitment and you make the decision to join True Trading Group, it all starts it all starts today. Honestly, it all starts today because prior to this, you didn’t have access to even a fraction of the things that you guys are going to have access to when you join True Training platform. There’s a reason why all these companies work with us. There’s a reason why we have partnerships with them. There’s a reason why we have 10,000 members from all over the globe. And there’s a reason why all these people and members are sitting here talking to you telling you that they’re making money.
It’s time for you guys to figure to to find out for yourselves why why that is. Okay.
Is trading view part of TTG? Um so you guys we you get the trading view premium charting software when you guys join trade trading group. It is one of the one of the tools and resource that you guys have access to when you guys join. I would never have made it anywhere else and I can say that honestly because I had bought into several others before I found TTG three years ago. That’s amazing. That’s fantastic. I love that. All right. All right, great. All right, let’s take things on over to the charts, guys. Let’s talk about what we’re expecting here from this week because, like I said, it’s going to be it’s going to be a big week, man, with this Jackson Hall meeting. You know, the markets have been in in straight meltup phase. You know, we had a pullback here after the Fed meeting. Um, and then after um uh after the Fed meeting and then after Microsoft Meta had their earnings report, then you had some inflation data. I’m sorry. This is the labor report. The the weak labor report caused the big gap down in the markets and the market just ate it up. You know, it’s still a buy the dip type of market and the market just continued to rally after this gap down. Um, you know, I I do think that
this week in particular, I think you’re going to be looking at a support level that is going to be established on any pullback test of around 639 640.
Okay. Um 639 640 is really where I’m looking for that support level to kind of form. And if you guys take a look, it’s going to be right against that prior high that was the day that Microsoft and Meta have reported earnings. And then now you have the 9 EMA, which is this light blue line that you guys see on my screen that also lines up right inside of that area. I also want to do a real quick I haven’t done this yet. I’m just doing this right now for the first time. Yeah, there it is. So then now we just want to draw out a Fibonacci retracement level. And I draw a Fibonacci retracement level out from the recent low, that pivot anchor low from the labor report. And we draw it up to the current high. and your 236 Fibonacci retracement level lines up right around 640 and a half and that could give us a nice little support zone as you guys can see right in here. So this is the support level that I’m going to be looking for here coming into this week. Now any anal any technical analysis that I’m giving you right now is a prejack hole speech analysis. Okay, my analysis will be entirely different once I know what Jerome Pal says during his speech. Whether or not Jerome Pal says or ins he’s not going to say it. He’s not going to come out and say it, but whether Jerome Pal insists that they are going to cut rates at the September meeting and show that he was a little bit more concerned with the weak labor report than than they are the hot the hot inflation number that came out. or if Jerome Pal comes out and says that they’re not necessarily ready to cut rates in September because they are concerned about the inflation reports that we just got. So depending on where which angle he takes and the tone that he takes and what he he talks about more is going to determine what this market’s going to do. If it sounds like the Fed is more focused on, hey, I really don’t like the inflation number that we just got, then the markets are going to go down because then that’s going to make the markets believe that it’s possible the Fed is not going to cut rates at the September meeting. And right now, the market has about an 86 to 90% chance priced in of probability of a rate cut at that September meeting. If Jerome Pal comes out and kind of gives that green light, then the markets will continue that little meltup. Okay, so that’s what I’m thinking about over the next week. Now, in September, I have a whole other thought process and what I think is going to happen in September. A whole other thought process on why I think that that is okay. Now, I’m not going to get into September. I’m not getting into what I think is going to happen in September. that we’ll talk about on another live stream in about a week or two. Okay. You have been emailing me for a while now and I said I would not unsubscribe because something told me I shouldn’t. That’s that’s funny. Um well, I got to tell you, God lives in me. I am glad that you did not unsubscribe. Something told you that you shouldn’t. I I love that. I really do. And now here you are on this live stream. And and I honestly just went through like that whole kind of a little kind of like an emotional speech there about, you know, people becoming successful and improving their lives and really investing in themselves and and getting access to the tools and resources and getting an advantage and an edge and being part of a community. And I feel like I feel like it’s not a coincidence that today’s the day that you’ve been getting these emails for a while from us. And I I don’t think it’s a coincidence that today’s the day that you that you decided to hop on. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. And I think I think you you and I are kind of on the same wavelength with that. So I appreciate you being here. Uh and that goes to everybody else that’s not a member and you guys are here whether you were suggested to us from YouTube or a friend told you about us or you got an email from us or a text message, whatever. Um welcome. So, getting back to the charts here real real quick briefly guys, you know, I think that that’s going to be our area of support that we can focus on here for this week. Um, you have a couple of earnings reports this week. It’s not like an Nvidia or anything like that, but um, you know, you have PaloAlto, you have Walmart and Target, which are big. That’s going to give us a really big, you know, kind of view into the consumer. Um, so that can also be a little bit market moving as well. But the real big catalyst this week is when Jordan Pal speaks. So that’s going to be our support level. Resistance level, I don’t really I don’t necessarily really have one. Resistance level is just kind of it’s just a float to the upside. I don’t necessarily have an upside target um if things go well this week as far as catalyst go. But downside targets for me, your first support level, which is a minor support level, is going to be 642 and a half. Your secondary support level and this is the spy I’m talking about right now. So again, primary support level which is a minor level is 642 and a half. Your secondary level which is a little bit more significant of a level is 640. Once you break underneath the 640 support level and that level is about a dollar wide. So the support stretches probably 639 640 that $1 area. That’ll be your secondary support level that I think is the more significant support level for the week. If that level is broken, the downside I think would take you probably at least into the low 630s. Um, and I think you would probably have to be targeting later this week for a move that takes you down into this region you guys see here. I think that would be the area that you should expect us to get down to if you know dron pal insinuates that they’re not ready to cut rates at the September meeting. I think that’s the target that we have to be looking at here coming into this week and be prepared for that following his speech. Okay? Because that’s my target if things don’t go well when when drawn pal begins that speech at Jackson Hole. Okay? So that those are my thoughts. That’s what we’re looking at there with regard to the overall market. Okay. Um, I want to briefly touch on I want to briefly touch on crypto because you have a potential of a failed all-time high break um that happened here um this week on on Bitcoin. Um, and I just want to keep an eye on a potential little double top up here. Right? You guys can just see this is actually just a few this is this is just BTC to USD. It’s not exactly the price of Bitcoin, but I just want to show you guys here on my chart. You can see this little double top area here. And I just want to be mindful of this double top. Okay? I want to be mindful of that double top because if that really does start to give you a significant pullback, I would target Micro Strategy for a short. Micro Strategy is at a major support level. Okay, we’ve actually we actually caught a really nice long trade on Micro Strategy back in June when this level was tested. My TG members, you guys probably remember we caught, okay, after Micro Strategy bottomed here, we were able to capitalize, okay, we were able to capitalize on that rally that happened there in the first week of of July. And now you’re back into that support level. This is a big support level, guys. You guys can see here, I’ll just draw it out for you. Okay, so here you see all of the support that you had back at the end of May and then June and then there’s the end of July. And then here we are literally just on Friday on Micro Strategy. And then right underneath that, you see this yellow line, that’s the 200 day moving average is that yellow line. That line is very, very significant. Okay? Because if you look back here to the left, I want you to really follow me now. Follow me now on this on this chart. Every single time for the last several years that Micro Strategy has touched that yellow line, it has bounced. Okay? Look at April. Look at March. Look at February. Then go all the way back to September of last year. Then go back to August of last year. Then go all the way back to January of last year. Then go all the way back to October of 2023. Then go to August of 2023. Then go to June of 2023. Then go to May of 2023. Every single time that Micro Strategy has touched that yellow line, it has moved higher. And now that is coming up and is lining up dead even with this structured support level at 360. Now Micro Strategy is a more volatile stock. So you’re talking about a little bit of a wider support level. I’d say 355 to 360. That’s going to be that support zone there for Micro Strategy. A break of that level would be very significant. Now I’ll tell you this right now. I would not I don’t think it’s wise to go short Micro Strategy into this level. I think the best bet if and I don’t know if this trade’s even going to trigger, but I’m just I want to bring this level to your attention because if this level’s broken, I will then jump on this trade for a short um and probably ride Micro Strategy to the downside in the month of September. Okay? As I think Bitcoin will probably pull back in the month of September, too, depending on what happens with the overall market. And again, I’ll tell you what I think about the overall markets as we get closer to the month of September. But if this level gets broken, I think you just wait for that level to get cleared out and then short a bounce back into it and then let it roll itself to the downside. Something like this, right? So like break it, bounce, bounce, and then it’s now and then let that level that is now support, let it then act as resistance and then drop back to the downside. And that would be one of the way would be the way that I think you should go about trying to, you know, trying to catch that trade. I think if you were to take the trade short, you know, in here, I think you run a real serious risk of a false breakdown and then this thing just jamming it back to the north side with like you might get it like a an extended tail to the downside and then the stock holds and gives you a candle that looks something like this and then it just bounces, right? like which is what it has done the last 30 times. That is I’m you know I don’t know the ex I didn’t count the exact number but I’m exaggerating a little bit but the amount of times that the stock has touched that yellow line it can very easily just give you some type of price action that looks like this. So that’s why I think shorting it in there is very very risky. I don’t think it makes a whole lot of sense. If that level breaks you have an easy easy move to 340. 340 would be your next support level. And I’ll draw 340 right here. 340 was this resistance level. It’s like it’s like 340 343 342. You can see some resistance right there in February and March. So if that level breaks, it’s an easy $15 drop. 10 to $15 drop. But I think if it does break that level, I think that this support level even that doesn’t hold. I think you probably get to 320 over the course of a couple of weeks. So, there’s plenty of meat on that bone that you do not need to be early to that trade. I think being early on this trade is risky because of how significant of a support level it is. I don’t think that level’s going to break easily. So, wait for the break to be confirmed and then short a bounce into it, let it then become resistance. That I think would be a much easier trade. Okay, I think that’s a much easier trade. I think it’s far less stress. Okay, so that’s one thing to keep your eye on throughout the course of the next couple of weeks. Okay, then we’ve got Let me just give you guys some updates on two positions that I am already in. I always like to update you guys on positions I’m already in and then we go into the positions that I think that I’m probably going to be getting into this week. One of them is a stock I shorted on Friday. It’s AAT. Okay, we executed a beautiful trade on this AAT um on Friday and I’ll just draw out for you guys. I’ll draw out the the setup here. Okay, now you can see well you know if you can’t see it that’s why I’m showing it to you. Okay, you’re going to see a resistance level here. This is called a gap entry. So you can see you had a big gap down the prior day. The high of that gap down then becomes gap entry and then you pulled in to test that level after breaking back above it and then it became support. Then the stock rallied. Then you had earnings on AAD. The earnings were bad. You gapped underneath that level on Friday. Okay, Friday morning. This was Thursday after the club when they reported their earnings. And then what you will see here is this yellow line and this purple line on my screen that line up right in that exact same price area. The yellow line is a 200 day moving average. The purple or pink line is the 100 day moving average. And the game plan here on Friday was a bounce into that level. Now it should be resistance. Right? It was support. Now that you gapped underneath it with earnings, any bounce back into it should be resistance. Okay, that was the idea. So let’s go to an intraday chart. I’ll just show you the actual, you know, the price action from the day.
Okay. So, here’s the price action from. So, here’s the resistance level. There’s that line that I drew, right? That that’s the same line from the daily chart. I’ll go back. See, this is the daily chart. This is every candle represents one day. Now, I’m going to go into a three-minute chart. That line is still there. And then you can see we kind of bumped up into that level and then we rejected off of it. So, I went ahead and I shorted AAT
right there. Okay. So, I have a short position that I still am holding. I did take some profits off on Friday because the stock really rolled over. Okay. But I went ahead and I took a position short. Members jumped into the 165 strike August 22nd put option. Okay, I shorted the stock there just around 166 and a quarter and the stock just totally rolled over then later in the day, right? So, you can see how we totally just kind of rolled it over. So, what I did as we rolled this to the downside, I took some profit here and I took some profit as we broke that low and I’m still holding a portion of the position. My next take profit is going to be that pre-market low from the uh that earnings gap down that is 160. And then if you break 160, my target then I’ll take you guys back to the daily chart to show you my target from there is 155 and 155. Right? You guys can see support support
prior to that resistance resistance. Right? You guys can see this, right? So, this is how we this is how we identify support and resistance. I’m on Coinbase and have some XRP. I’m self-taught, but truly a rookie. I did learn how to set limits and I’ve been playing around in Coinbase Advance. So, I’m glad to be here. I love that we actually just uh were trading some Ethereum last week. Obviously, Ethereum was going nuts, right? Ethereum was going nuts last week. So, we actually traded some Ethereum. We traded the ETHU. Um, ETHU is actually a a double leverage ETF on Ethereum. So, this is not actually a crypto. ETHU is is an equity. It’s an ETF and it just uh follows Ethereum. Uh, but it doubles the move. So, if Ethereum is up 2%, then this tries to be up 4%. If it’s down 3%, this will be down 6%. Okay? So, it’s a really great trading vehicle. Um, recently with the rally that we’ve had in Ethereum, the volatility, the liquidity has been through the roof on this thing. So, glad to see that you’re you’re you’re into into crypto. All right. So, just going back again to AAT. So, if we can break this 160, right, which is that pre-market low from that Friday. If we can break that, 155 is my target, right? And you guys can see now the level there. That’s why 155 is my target. So, trying to see if I can get this thing down there a little bit further. That is AAT. Again, this is a position that I am already in and I’ve already taken profit off, but I’m still holding some. The other position that I am still in um I’ve taken profit off, but I’m still in is TTD. Now, this is a very similar scenario. Okay, TTD had a gap down, okay, after earnings. It was a horrific gap down and the earnings were just so terrible that a lot of times when you have a stock that has been trading in an uptrend for the last couple of months. Obviously, that means people are stepping in and buying the stock ahead of its earnings report. and the earning support comes out and it’s so incredibly shockingly bad. It usually does not recover the next day or two, okay, on after that gap down because usually the people that have bought that stock over the last couple of months, it takes several days for that the selling of those positions to get unwound and the stock usually trades lower for a few days, sometimes even sometimes even a couple of weeks. So, I jumped on this thing short, okay, a little more than a week ago, right here on the 11th, and I shorted this at $55 um and 57, and the stock has rolled all the way down to $50. Uh members jumped on the $50 or the 50. It actually depends on, you know, but some members took different strike prices, but um some some traded the the recent expiration from this Friday, which they’re that means they’re out of the position. Um other people are in the this Friday coming up expiration, the 22nd, and those people are still in that position. And I’m just looking for us to get down a little bit further. I’m looking to get under 50. My target on this is like 48 bucks. Okay. So, I’m just trying to get back down to this support level from April. Um, and I think that we can just kind of fade this out here just a little bit. And as I as I kind of zoom this in here a little bit, I want to show you guys how you have this little support level for just these couple of days. You had this bounceback day on Friday. And if it does not, if tomorrow we do not get back above 54, this is easily going to 48. So you saw after that gap down on earnings, you’re at support, support, support, support. four consecutive days of support around 52 and a half and then on Thursday that support level you see here broke on Friday you bounced back into it and you were unable to get back above it right so you see on Friday you tried to get back above it and you could not so what I’m looking for out of this thing for tomorrow is
something looks like that or Monday into Tuesday, I’m looking for something that looks like that. Maybe maybe tomorrow and then Tuesday something that looks like that. Okay, so that’s the price action I’m looking for us to get there on TTD. Now, again, I’m short from 557. Stock is currently 52. Um, I have already taken profits off on this a few times, but I still do have some of this position short. Okay, that is TTD. Does anybody have any questions
at all before I continue?
Anybody have any questions? Anything at all? Anything you want me to take a look at real quick before I get into my trade ideas for the week?
Because I can get into I want to start going into some of my trade ideas for the week. Let me start going into some of them. So, what I’m looking at here, ZS Zcaler. This is this is a trade idea that may not happen this week, but if it does, I’m on it. I’m looking for a long on Zcaler, ticker symbol ZS, in the low 260s if you get there. Now, the stock is currently 275, so you got some That’s what I’m saying. might not happen this week, but you’ll see resistance there at 260, resistance there at 260. Then you had the gap up after this was an earnings release in May. Gap up and exploded. Now you’re you’ve been slowly pulling back into that level. And what do we have here? See that purple pink line? See that purple pink line? That’s the 100 day moving average. Okay, that also lines up now at that level. So, what I’m looking for here is if over the course of the next week or two, Zcaler was to drop down into this level, I think from that level, I think it bounces.
Okay, I think that’s a good enough support level that we can go long in that area. Okay. So, this is Zcaler. So, we’re going to keep this one here up on watch. All right. Again, that level is 260. I’ll probably take the long in the low 260s. Maybe like 262ish or so. Okay. With a stop loss underneath 260. All right. But I like that. I like that idea. I think, you know, that breakout was was a strong one back in May. And I think that that’s one that we’re going to look at here for maybe not. Like I said, maybe this doesn’t happen this week. Maybe it’s next week, but I’m going to focus on that one. Okay. Now, next next, I’m going to say something. It’s kind of risky, but I think it’s going to trigger.
I think that we are going to get a decent short on the nuclear names. I know that’s like no. And I know a lot of people in here are probably like, Mike, don’t say that. You know, I know a lot of people are long those stocks. They’ve been tremendous runners, but I’m seeing signs that these stocks are are running out of momentum and that they’re running out of steam. Um you know if we just take a look at some of the leaders like a CEG um CEG is one of the leaders in this space they have the agreement with uh Microsoft you see that prior all-time high okay that was right here there was that previous all-time high you tried to break it right two weeks ago and you couldn’t do it you couldn’t do it now you’re rolling back to the downside here and you got this little support level at the 50-day but I kind of feel like I kind of feel like we might we might roll over here a a little bit. Okay, so I’m I’m going to be watching this CEG as kind of like my my sentiment gauge within some of these nuclear names. Um 320 is a solid support level. All right, 320 is a solid support level, but if you get underneath 320, your next support level is down here. It’s down around like 304, 305. So what I’m going to do is this little level that we have here at like 320. And honestly, you almost have like a little head and shoulders. It’s sloppy, but you even have like you can say that’s your left shoulder. You can say this is you can say, you know, this is your right shoulder. This isn’t the cleanest of patterns, but and then here’s your head. And then here’s your neckline, right? And if this level breaks, right? If this level breaks, then I think CEG falls. I think it falls back down into this support level that you guys see here. So, I’m going to be watching CEG this week to see if we break that level,
right? If we break 320 on CEG, I’m going to target like 305. Then after CEG, we’re going to move on over to OKLO. Similar type of setup. OKLO has a massive support level here in around $70. Now you can see previous resistance resistance you broke above it support support.
If just like CG if this level breaks I think you have downside and my target is going to be $60. Okay, you can see support support. That’ll be the area that we can target. Now, you should be taking profits off around 65. This blue line is the 50-day moving average, right? So, you know, you always, you know, want to take some profits off whenever you encounter like a major moving average like that. You you never know. You can always bounce off a major moving average like that, right? So, as you fall down into here, right, I’m going to look for that to be an area for a takerit, but see if we can get into like maybe the mid to low 60s. And then, you know, speaking of head and shoulders, this one looks a little bit different. This is left shoulder. This is right shoulder. Here’s the head. And here’s your neckline. So, that’s that’s kind of what I’m seeing. I’m seeing these stocks kind of look to me a little bit like they’re running out of steam a little bit. All
right, looks like they’re running out of steam just a little bit here. And I and I think if these support levels break, you might get some profit taking that takes those stocks uh that takes those stocks further to the downside. So those those are two stocks that are on watch for us here for short setups um this week. All right, then I want to go over to Meta. Um, so Meta failed to make the new all-time high on Friday. So we we we kind of traded higher here during the week,
right? And you put in a top here and on Friday we ran up into that level and it rejected, right? You can see how we were unable to break above it, right?
Okay. So you see how you know we we failed to break above that level there on Friday. Now Meta is relatively a stronger stock than the rest of your your mega cap tech and it was relatively strong on Friday when we were um the NASDAQ was red, the S&P was red, Meta was green. Okay, Meta never really went red on Friday, even though the markets did. Now, let me show you this market first. Let me go to the S&P. Okay, the S&P, see this dotted line? The dotted line is the prior days close. So, if you go underneath it, that means we went red in the very morning, in the early morning at around 9:45 a.m. Eastern, the S&P went red. Then, let’s go to the NASDAQ. The NASDAQ was red the entire day. The S&P was red the entire day. Meta, you can see the dotted line. Meta never went red. Meta was green the entire day. And here’s the the attempt at the all-time high. You tried to break the all-time high and then failed. But it was relatively strong compared to the overall market and the NASDAQ. Knowing that coming into this week, if we have a situation where the market begins to move back to the upside, I want to go back and look at Meta for the long. So, if we have a situation where Meta, let’s say Meta, I’ll just give you a scenario. If you wake up tomorrow morning and Meta is 792 and Meta’s right there, I’m telling you right now, I’m going long. I’m going long. I’m looking for Meta to go to 800 bucks. If I wake up and Meta’s and Meta is sitting right there where you see that that block because if Meta gaps up again and shows me relative strength again, then I’m gonna want to go long and look for a break and a run to the all-time high and look for us to go to 800. 800 beautiful whole number and I think it’s going to just act as I think it’s just going to act as an area like a it’s going to act as a magnet. So, I want to keep that a watch for the long if the markets do, you know, push higher because if you gap up, I think you’ll very quickly negate I think you’ll very quickly negate the the failed tail and I think you got a candle that looks something like this on Monday. All right, so there we have it folks. There are top trade ideas for the for the week.
Does anybody have any questions?
Anybody have any questions?
When I talk to Mari, she gives me Mike’s analysis. Go figure. Yeah, that’s I mean that’s kind of the point, right? like that is um
you know my my my fingerprints are all over the AI guys. They’re all over the AI. You know my my analysis and and strategies and everything else is all over the AI. Is there a level you would be comfortable buying into these stocks if you don’t have them for the long-term portfolio? I assume um Mike that you’re talking about the nuclear stocks. I assume you’re talking about the nuclear stocks. Um
the level that I would buy these stocks if I So I don’t own Oko. Um so I do own VST, right? I do own VST. Um I own VST from the 90s. Um, and the stock’s currently, you know, 200. So, obviously doing, you know, up 100% on that position, doing very nice. But I don’t own I don’t own the small ones. So, like BST, CEG, those are the bigger ones that, okay, I own that, but I don’t own OKLO and I don’t own SMR. I don’t own um NE in my long, these are the smaller nuclear names. I don’t own those in my long-term portfolio. Um, you know, if I was to if I wanted to buy them, I’d say the the place to for okay low, I’d say in the 50s,
Mike, I’d say in the 50s, I think, is is a spot where you can grab some in the 50s. Um, and then eventually if you ever get back to this 200 day moving average, see this yellow line? Now, obviously, it’s sloping upward, right? The 200 day is sloping upward. So, it’s it’s going to continue to climb. So, like, you know, if this continues to climb, that could work out perfectly. If I’m right and this is running out of steam and and you’re getting ready for a pullback, that pullback could take you down, okay, into the 50s and then this yellow line can work its way up and they could meet and that could be a beautiful spot for you to then buy some of the long-term portfolio because this yellow line, right, look at the support level that you had here. That’s the 200 day moving average. Look at that support. We got to pay attention to that. That’s a very significant support area, right? It’s a very significant support area. So, the next time that we get into that yellow line, I I got to say let’s look for that to be a support level. And that all lines up right in the 50s. So, I’d say if you don’t own Oko and you want to buy some for the long-term portfolio, I think the 50s are a decent area. Do you think spot is going down? Um, no. No, I do not. I mean, there’s nothing really here that that looks like I would say the stock is going down. I actually traded Spotify to the short side after their earnings. Made some good money on it, too. Um, but then the company announced they were raising their prices and then you had that was the gap up day. So, this the sentiment around the stock changed following the news about their prices. So, I caught this move, right? I caught that move actually to the to the short side. Um, but then the company came out with news that they were raising their prices and the stock gapped up. So, see this big gap up? That was the news that they came out. They’re raising their prices and that just kind of changed everything on the short because I was short and that was like, okay, that news kind of changes things. It changes the sentiment. Um, and once you put in this higher low, that was it. That was, okay, that’s it. Like, now that’s there’s no way that that looks like a short anymore. Um, and the stock ever since then has just kind of climbed higher. So, I exited that position a couple of weeks ago. Made some money on the trade. It wasn’t like a monster home run because I was still in the position when it when the news came out. Um, but we still made some money on it, so, you know, I can’t complain. But I I do not think that the stock is going down now. No, not after that. Uh, UNH after Buffett bought as a long-term hold. Chris, you know, I think UNH,
I own UNH in my long-term portfolio. Um, I’ve owned it for a long time. Um, it’s a sizable position, too. Um, I think United Health will be just fine. Um, I I just want everyone to understand and to realize, though, that when Warren Buffett and Birkshshire Hathaway buys a position, uh, they’re buying it for with the intention of holding it for years. So, if you step in and buy UNH tomorrow at 306 and in a month it’s at 270, please don’t freak out. You know, Warren Buffett bought this position at $311.87
um in like June and the stock went all the way down to 240 after he bought it. So again, keep that in mind. Um, but I I think that there’s there’s room for United Health to bounce here. They’re still the the top they’re still the largest health insurer in the world. They’re still the the top dog in that industry. Yes, they have had a lot of issues, right? They’ve had a lot of issues. um negative news after negative news after negative news and what’s going on with Medicare and Medicaid billings and that that’s you know has hurt them as well. They have a lot of problems. I’m not going to I’m not going to lie. But, you know, if Warren Buffett sees that as all of those all that negativity, Warren Buffett sees that as a potential opportunity, then he obviously believes that the company is going to get past all of those things and the stock is on sale right now because the issues that it has, but he’s confident that it’s going to resolve those issues and eventually trade higher. So, I think United Health is going to be just fine. Um, I don’t think it’s going to like just rip back to 500 quickly. I think it’s going to probably trade in the 300s for a while. The high 200s, the 300s. I think it’s going to probably be in there for a while. Um, but I I do think that the stock will will be fine.
Walmart and Target. You know, Joan, that’s actually um Walmart and Target actually have earnings coming up and these are going to be really important. I like I own Walmart. I don’t own Target. Um and Walmart has done incredibly well over the last couple years. Target has been a dumpster fire. Okay, this stock has gotten obliterated since 2021. This was a $260 stock. It’s now down to 103. Now, for comparison, look at Walmart’s chart. In 2021, Walmart was a $50 stock. It is now a $100 stock. So, um, night and day. The one thing that does have me a little concerned here on Walmart is a very strong double top at 105 all-time high. Okay, that is a little concerning with that double top, but they have earnings coming out. We have to see what the earnings are. Um, you know, I don’t usually, you know, I don’t really I don’t ever position myself, Joan, for uh for earnings. Like I don’t get into a trade and just kind of cross my fingers and like hope the earnings are good and the stock’s going to go higher because I I think playing earnings like that is is I think I just think you’re gambling. I just think that it’s you don’t really have an advantage or an edge. There have been plenty of situations where the company beats on earnings, but maybe their guidance isn’t that great in stock tanks. Even though you were right, they beat on earnings, but their guidance wasn’t good. There’s been situations where a company beat on earnings and they raised guidance. They beat on guidance and the stock still went down. Case in point, Netflix, Netflix actually, it’s recovered over the last two weeks. But this, see this whole move right here, that was after Netflix reported earnings and the earnings were amazing. The stock went down 5% the day after they reported earnings and the earnings were amazing. They top and bottom line beat. They raised guidance for the quarter. They raised guidance for the year. Stocks still went down 5%. So if you sat in, you’re like, “Hey, I think Netflix’s earnings are going to be great. I’m going to buy call options.” you lost 100% of your investment, right? So, I don’t like getting into a position before the company announces earnings. I like to let the company announce earnings and now I know what my fundamental catalyst is, good or bad. I can see the reaction that the stock had initially off the print and then I can go ahead and then I can go ahead and I could I could place a trade then from there.
So, those are my thoughts there. Uh, my thoughts on Sunun. Yeah, there was some news there on Friday with some of these um there was some news um
that we had um with regard to some of these solar names um and they all ripped. They all ripped on Friday. Now, I don’t know, Lisa, if I if I trust this move. Um, I will tell you this, these stocks might continue higher if Jerome Pal signals they’re ready for rate cuts in September, but if Jerome Pal sounds like they’re not going to cut rates in September, then these stocks are most likely going back down. So, just be mindful of that. Now, drone pal doesn’t speak until the end of the week. So, if you’re long on some of these solar names and they continue during the week, ride it. But I would, you know, lock in profits going into that going into that speech. Okay? I would say lock in profits going into that speech. Um, you have a nice level here around 13 and a quarter on Sunun. Okay? Now, if you guys wonder where that level comes from, you can see previous support back here in October. And then you’ll have a resistance level that you have here in May, right? And then you broke above that on Friday. So ideally any pullback that you get on Sunun, right, back into 13 and a quarter, ideally you would want that to become support and then see the stock then continue and trade higher from there. So that’s the level to look at there for Sunun. One of the strong the strongest solar name, the leader in the space is first solar. That’s FSLR. Now, FSLR
had a resistance level here at around 200 that it popped its head above, but I’m just cautious here because there’s still so much resistance here on First Solar. Um, you know, I think that
I’d say 210 and then 220 are your next resistance levels, right? 210, 220. Those are your resistance levels. Look for 200 support. Okay? look for 200 support and then look for continuation to 210 and then eventually maybe 220. But that would be kind of it from there. Okay. You also have a very sloppy head and should uh inverse head and shoulders. I don’t know if you guys can see this. I’ll draw it out. It’s very sloppy, but left shoulder, head,
right shoulder, and then here’s your neckline. right? Sloppy, but it’s there. So, if you get like a little pullback back into it and then it bounces back up from here, that could give you a continuation move. So, honestly, like FSLR pulls back into the into 200 or the high 190s and then gets back above 200, I would then take that long and I would, you know, if that coincides with Drone Pal saying that they’re ready to cut rates in September, then I would get long FSLR. I would stay long FSLR into like 220. That a beautiful swing trade setup there. If those things kind of align together,
Robin Hood, great question. Now, what I’m going to tell you on Robin Hood um might actually be surprising, but I actually think that Robin Hood is going to give you a failed new all-time high attempt. And let me show you what I think is going to happen. So, here’s your all-time high. What I think is going to happen is I think Robin Hood is going to do something that looks like this. I think you’re going to push up towards 117 118 and then you’re going to do that.
I kind of feel like you might try to break through that high and then fail to do so. Um that’s why I want to pay attention also to Bitcoin. um and see Bitcoin double tops in those low 120s because maybe that could also be a catalyst. Um Robin Hood has kind of found itself a little bit correlated to to crypto. It’s not like a micro strategy or Coinbase, but it has worked its way into kind of a it’s gotten lumped into kind of the crypto pile. A lot of people thought Robin Hood was going to be added to the S&P 500 and and it hasn’t been and that’s a part of the reason why the stock had really rallied so much. They also have reported some really great earnings um over the last, you know, couple months and it’s it’s been a monster. It’s been a freight train. Um but I’m just cautious of that all-time high. So, you know, it might be something similar to like what what you saw happen Friday on like Meta. See how Meta like tried to push through and then like failed and dropped back underneath it. I just feel like you might have something similar happen there. BMR. Great one, Justin. Great one. We absolutely murdered this trade. So guys, we caught this move on BMNR in chat two weeks ago. Was a monster trade. So again, just a huge shout out and a big congratulations to members of TTG that capitalized on this one with me. Um, this is one you guys could have even got on just from being a on the live stream, but this was something that we jumped in at uh in the 40s and just rode this thing up into the 60s. It was a big trade for us. We got like a seven or eight to one on a riskreward, which is just fantastic. Um, and now you’re going through a little bit of of a pause and a consolidation. Uh, BMR is going to be is going to be tied to Ethereum now. So just like Micro Strategy built up like that, Bitcoin Treasury and Micro Strategy would trade um Micro Strategy would trade alongside Bitcoin, BMR is going to trade alongside um BMR is going to trade alongside Ethereum. So Ethereum is still trading well above 4,000. We kind of broke into like the mid fours last week. We’re still trading above four. But if Ethereum goes higher, you look for BMR to go higher. I like the support level here in the mid-50s. I do think we can pop this thing back up into the mid60s. Keep eyes mid-40s. I like that support level. Uh NUE and LAR two that are uh LAR is right from uh Warren Buffett. Now this is similar to what I said about the solar stocks, right? So you had DHI which is Dr. Horton and then you had LAR which is LEN. Now these are housing builders. These are home builders. Okay. Now these stocks will be directly affected directly affected by whether or not Jerome Pal signals that they’re ready to cut rates. These stocks are rallying higher because the markets are now pricing in rate cuts for September. Okay. Ever since the market started pricing in rate cuts for September, these interest rate sensitive stocks started moving. The home builders started moving. Rocket started moving, right? Interest rates, mortgages, housing market, right? These stocks all start moving. If Jerome Pal is to come out at Jackson Hole and say inflation is worried, you know, we’re worried about inflation. We know we don’t think it’s ready yet to cut rates. not in those words, but those stocks are going to go back down. Okay? You’ll see Lenar back to 126. You’ll see, you know, Dr. Horton back to 155, right? So, you’ll see those stocks pull back if that’s the case. They are very sensitive to interest rates. So, please make sure that you if you’re in those positions,
okay? If you’re in those positions, um, make sure you know exactly what happens with his speech at Jackson Hall.
Uh, delution thoughts on BMR. Well, so here’s the thing. Here’s the thing, BJ.
It’s the dilution is a little bit different than traditional dilution when you think of it because they’re doing the exact same thing that Micro Strategy does. Micro Strategy dilutes. They raise capital. With that capital, they go and they buy Bitcoin. And if Bitcoin goes up, the valuation of Micro Strategy as an entity goes up because of how much Bitcoin they own. So the stock then goes up. BMNR, they’re doing the same thing. They’re going to do do offerings. They’re going to raise capital. They’re going to take that capital. They’re going to buy more Ethereum. If Ethereum goes higher, you can see this stock move higher. So you’re going to see a direct correlation there with with Ethereum. Now, offering after offering after offering, you know, as soon as Ethereum cools off and gives you a pullback, like if Ethereum, for example, was to break back under 4K. I think 4K was a pretty big psychological level for it to break above last week. If Ethereum was to drop back underneath it, I would expect BMR to then really fade. Um, and the delution would be the driving force kind of behind that fade. But if Ethereum was to go to 5,000, then you bet your butt this thing’s going higher.
You think Buffett’s announcement today indicates that he’s confident in a rate cut? Actually, no. Yousef. Um, and let me explain. So, here’s what Buffett’s confident of. Buffett is not confident that the Fed is going to cut rates in September. Bet Buffett is confident that the Fed is going to be cutting rates soon. Warren Buffett has an extremely long time horizon. He’s not going to care if the Fed does not cut rates in September because they’re definitely going to be cutting rates in 2026 regardless. and Warren Buffett holds for many many years. So he’s looking at it as we are about to embark on a rate cutting cycle. He’s not saying it’s going to start September. He’s saying it might start September, but if it doesn’t start in September, I don’t really care. So always keep in mind the time horizon of the person that you are following. If you do not have that same time horizon, then you can’t really um then you can’t really take it,
you know. So, just something to something to to think about. But, you know, it’s whether they cut in September or not is going to have a big effect on the market and a big effect on the near-term price of these stocks. But Warren Buffett doesn’t necessarily care about the the the near-term immediate price movement of these stocks.
Any other questions?
You guys are asking some great questions, by the way.
What do I think about Intel?
That’s a good one. Um, I mean, listen, I hate Intel. Um,
I don’t own it. I, you know, really didn’t have any intention of owning it. You know, I have been very bullish on AMD for the last several years because, you know, AMD was really just completely dominating Intel um, and just stealing market share away from Intel. This has been a phenomenal performer for me in my long-term portfolio. Um, I still own it and I’m going to continue to own it for a long time. Years from now, I’ll still be a shareholder of AMD. Um,
so, you know, we’ll still still be a shareholder many years from now. Um, I would much rather own int AMD than own Intel. you know, the the the news that just came out this this past week about the um the US government maybe taking a stake in Intel.
You know, usually when a company gets nationalized, um stock prices go down. This is not the same as a company getting nationalized. um you are you know if the United States government comes in and takes a stake in Intel it’s really to ensure that foundry business of like homegrown you know US semiconductors chips and everything else to kind of just kind of protect that side of the industry and the AI race the AI arms race. Um, but
I think that the US government as a part owner opens up like an unlimited capex spend for the company. Um, I still probably am not going to buy it, but the support level down there at 19 is massive. And and with this news, it’s like why not? Why not take a shot? You know your risk. Whatever price you buy Intel, this line you see on my screen, that’s your risk. Look at that support level. That is your risk. And that is support back from 2010, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2024, 2025. That’s why I hate this stock so much. You if you bought this stock 15 years ago, you are break even and it’s a semiconductor.
That’s what is just mindboggling about Intel. But listen, if you’ve ever wanted to buy Intel, like if you were bullish on Intel previously, then I think you have to buy it now. So if you’re you were like a believer in Intel and you’re like, I like Intel. I think they’re going to do great. And that’s well before any of this happened. I think now if the US government takes a stake, I actually think it’s not necessarily a negative. I think that it it could potentially give give Intel a lot of protections. It can give Intel unlimited capex potential, which is capital expenditures. That’s the amount of money that the company would invest in like, you know, future, you know, longdated assets and long, you know, future revenue streams and everything else. So, I think that could be, you know, that would be a a reason for you guys to step in and then say, okay, you know what? I I’ll buy some. But I don’t I currently don’t own it. I I didn’t necessarily have plans uh to buy more. I mean to buy it in general because I I don’t own it. All right.

The Magic of Weeds in Water
So, did you know that placing weeds in a bucket of water does something quite incredible? So, weeds are full of nutrients, take this nettle for example. Not only is it a nutritious free form of food for us humans that I much rather eat over spinach, it is also full of potassium, magnesium, calcium, and other important minerals to add to a compost bin. But as growers, we can enjoy the nutrients of weeds in other ways as well to benefit our gardens. One of those techniques is something called chop and chop. So if you follow permaculture, it is quite a popular one. This is where you gather say plant leaves or when you’re clearing things out and instead of putting them on a compost bin, you chop them up and then you put the nutrients directly back around the ground where it was growing. There is another type of chop and drop and it’s called chop move and drop. This is where you’re moving material, plant material from outside the garden. There might be a patch of nettles or dock for example, chopping them up and bringing those nutrients, transporting them into the garden to then mulch and benefit your plants. Not only are you adding nutrients and also creating a protective covering over the soil, it’s going to break down into becoming organic matter, which will both help the soil retain moisture during dry weather, but also when you have really wet weather, allow the excess water to drain nice and freely. Traditionally, when we think of nettles or dandelions or thistles, we think of them as weeds, but they’re not always weeds. The definition of a weed is a plant growing in a place where it shouldn’t be growing. In this case, nettles aren’t a weed. They’re here in nature enjoying well enjoying the space and helping to improve the soil. But in a garden bed, they’re not very welcome because I’m trying to grow annual crops. And the same applies to say you got a few tomato plants that have started sprouting up in one of your beds that shouldn’t be there. Technically, they’re a weed because they shouldn’t be growing there. And you can treat those in the same way whether you put them on the compost bin, for example, or chop and drop. But for the sake of simplicity with chop, move, and drop, you’re going to be moving plants that we traditionally would call weeds, for example, this dock into our garden to benefit it. And the other use of weeds is understanding the magic that happens when you add them into a bucket of water. And this is especially important, say if you’re starting to clear your garden and you’re pulling out weeds, uh some more nettles here, but the these have started uh creating seeds. If I put this onto the compost bin, all I’m going to end up doing when I eventually use that compost is spread nettle seeds all over the garden. I don’t want that. So, putting them in water allows you to utilize the nutrients of a weed, but in a way where you’re not spreading the seeds, and you can apply it in a different form. With weeds, when you soak them in water for a few weeks or a few months, you’re extracting all of their nutrients and goodness, you’re not going to be spreading their seeds around, but you’re also creating a form of nutrients to feed your plants a lot more rapidly in terms of nutrient access than spreading over compost because in liquid form, they can go down to their roots really quickly. There’s a couple of approaches for creating a liquid weed feed which is the magic of placing weeds in water. The first is to do single type recipes. Very simply this is my dock weed fertilizer liquid fertilizer. All I’ve done is I’ve put dock and water in here. Bit of leaf mold. I’ll come on to that after but nothing else. And I just let it soak. The reason why you might want to go around just using a single type is if you’re looking for a specific group of nutrients that you might need or your soil might be lacking. Doc’s really high in potassium, for example. So, this is creating a nice potassium liquid feed that I can use for say my tomatoes next year. The other way of going around making a liquid weed feed is to actually mix a load of different weeds together by creating more of a balanced or a multi-purpose feed. So instead of just making something say out of nettles which has yeah a lot of calcium but also a lot of nitrogen and is great for more kind of leafy growth. If you mix in things like dandelions and thistles, creeping thistle has a good amount of iron, and then you’ve got dock and everything else all mixed together, you’re going to really quickly create a nice multi-purpose plant feed. You don’t really need to know the nooks and crannies of the nutrient quantities of all of these different plants. If you just understand that there’s strength and power in diversity, the same thing applies to creating a nutrient-rich liquid feed for your plants. Mix it up, have a load of things together, and it will really benefit. Just before I show you the recipe of creating this weed feed as well as how to apply it, if you feel that your garden is a bit overrun with weeds or you’re feeling like it’s getting to that stage, I wrote a blog post that I put on my blog over at hughesgarden.com last week about how to clear a garden full of weeds completely organically and then how to maintain a weed-free garden. There’s a link down below. So to go about extracting the amazing nutrients from weeds, what you do need is a bucket or any form of similar container, which obviously needs to be leak proof. Then you need to go around and collect your chosen weeds. Whether you’re just going to put in a load of thistles or you’re going to do a nice mix for more of a multi-purpose feed. Fill up the bucket with the weeds. And then you want to actually add the water on top. just enough water where you’re covering all of the plant material and give it a bit of a stir. Now, at this stage, you could also add a handful of leaf mold from under a nice big deciduous tree. This is a jam inspired technique. So, what you’re doing is you’re grabbing the biology from under the tree and uh you’re adding it to the feed. So you’re creating a bit of a biological feed as well, but it’s also going to help break down and extract the nutrients. Then once you’ve created it, you want to put on a lid very loosely if the container comes with a lid. If not, just put over a slab or say a few planks of wood and leave it for at least 2 weeks up to kind of 2 months before you start using it. So after 2 weeks, you can start using your liquid feed. There’s a couple of ways of going about it. I’ve strained this one just out of ease to show you. You can see the the color there, for example. Now, what you can do is you can use a sie so you can keep all of the plant bits away from the actual watering because what you want to do is you want to water it and if you’re using a watering can, you don’t want to block up the rows with bits of plant material. So, if you want to start using your weed feed after 2 weeks, what you want to do is you want to dilute roughly one parts feed to 10 parts water. There’s a nice dilution ratio. We do this because if you put too strong of a of a plant fertilizer or liquid fertilizer down, it can actually burn and damage the roots. You just want to make sure that it’s suspended in a in a load of water so it’s nice and gentle on the plants. And then you water. Now, if you’ve got something that’s a lot older, maybe it’s five or six months old, anything after that, you then reduce the dilution ratio to around 1 to 50 cuz it’s going to be a lot more potent. Apply this to the plants as just a little bit cautiously. See how they respond and adjust as necessary. But it’s literally as easy as that to create your own free liquid plant feed using weeds to benefit your plants really quickly, to benefit your crops, to grow more food. That is the process. If you’ve got enough buckets, what you can do as you’re starting to extract the liquid once it’s being made is just as the year continues, continue to top up the bucket with the same rough mix of weeds or the same certain type of weed or plant material and a bit more water. So, as you’re taking out the liquid, just keep on topping it up with a little bit extra goodness. So, that means you’re never taking away any of the solids. A lot of that’s going to break down into becoming a liquid, but it means you then have that dedicated bucket that is producing that really beneficial plant feed. If you live in a particularly cold climate, you might want to consider bringing your bucket of weed feed undercover because if they’re going to stay frozen solid for 2 or 3 months, there’s not going to be any breakdown. So, nothing’s really going to be happening. And now’s a great time to harvest those nutrients to break down over winter to give you free plant feed to start using spring next year. So, my channel is full of videos on how to save money and make the most of kind of waste materials and resources. But some of you might not know that I have written three books. My latest book, for example, the vegetable growers handbook, is full of my absolute best tips for gardening. It goes into a lot more detail in terms of creating natural amendments and composting for example and how to grow basically whatever you want to grow. So like one reviewer said this book is like gold dust. You can check it out yourself over at hughgarden.com. And there were also signed copies available there as well. Also the nature of food book written by my colleague Sam using produce from this garden. The photo of a a leak grown in a bed just up there is also available now over at hughesgarden.com. We’re about to ship all of the Indiegogo crowdfunding orders, but if you’re in the UK, you should also through the website be able to get them before Christmas. It’s such a stunning book. You’re going to love it. One read that I haven’t mentioned is grass. Not really fun to have in a raised bed, but if you’ve got a lawn or pathways, grass clippings are amazing for your garden. I’ve made a whole video which you can watch here. It’s been really popular and it’s how to use grass to help you grow more food and it includes a grass-specific liquid feed recipe. So check it out and enjoy.

Stop Growing Spinach and Grow This HUGE Edible ＂Tree＂ Instead
This plant here is called tree spinach. It is one of the fastest growing and tallest crops that you can grow in your garden. And it means it’s one of the most productive ones. And it has a different name as well, which I’ll reveal a little later on. It has a slight slight secret that you don’t know at first. But tree spinach is amazing and so that’s why I’m making this video about it. Now, as I mentioned, tree spinach is edible. And there are two main ways that you can eat it. Either raw or cooked. When you cook it, cook it down like you would for normal spinach. And it has this really nice asparagus flavor to it. So, it’s a very pleasant flavor. Um, eating it raw is also delicious. You can eat the leaves, you can eat the whole tips, add it into salads. It adds a little bit of color because, as you can see, you have these beautiful magenta tips which look stunning. Now, in terms of raw flavor compared to normal spinach, I think it tastes a little bit more mineraly and it is related to spinach. It’s within the same genus family thing, but it isn’t closely related to spinach. It is within the amaranth family. So, the amaranth family for everyone else. And I asked Chat GPT if this is more nutritionally dense than spinach because it it tastes so with that mineral-y flavor and apparently it is. So I’ll put the chart up so you can see it. And yeah, another reason why to grow it because it is nice and nutritious as well. This isn’t technically a spinach, but is it a tree? Well, obviously not, but it does have, as you can see here, this branching like habit. So the tree just kind of explains the gigantic nature of it and the way that if you do let it grow, it will continue to branch out. And it works really well as a tree, as a structure. But if you do have some open area in the garden, you might want to consider staking it because if there’s some heavy wind, sadly, it will knock it over. So if you are after the height of which it can grow to 2 and a half meters tall or eight foot tall then just consider giving it a stake and no it is not a tree but it’s kind of like a temporary tree. Now, at the start of the video, I mentioned that this plant has another name, okay? Giant spinach or tree spinach. But it is also known as the glitter spinach because if you go up closely and you peer into the top and the base of the leaves, especially when it is sunny, it it shines like it’s got lots of micro bits of glitter. So, you’ve kind of got plastic free glitter growing in your garden. and uh and it looks stunning, especially when you’ve got that sunlight and it really just makes it light up. Um yeah, glitter spinach. So, if you got kids, you could be like, “Hey kids, I want to grow some glitter spinach.” And that might be a way of trying to get them into gardening cuz I think all kids should grow their own and they might as well grow their own edible glitter. Now, those of you who are permaculture gardeners or are trying to grow resilient gardens, so you have more perennials, like here I’ve got ochre growing up around these runner beans. I’ve got ders here. Tree spinach is fantastic because unlike regular spinach, we all know what it’s like. We grow normal spinach and it gets a little bit too hot and dry and it panics and bolts and goes to seed. Well, the amazing thing about tree spinach is that it thrives even when it is really dry and hot. It doesn’t kind of bolt from under seed. It just keeps on growing. So, in terms of having a resilient plant over summer months, this is fantastic. And there’s another core benefit of glitter spinach, which is it isn’t fussy really about soil types. It will grow in the poorest quality soil, which is another major benefit because sometimes when you plant normal spinach in quite poor quality soil, it’s kind of like I’m not very happy. I want to be somewhere else. But glitter spinach, it’s just grateful to grow anywhere and it will grow anywhere. I haven’t planted a single glitter spinach this year because all this is a self-seeded glitter spinach. All of the other ones are. Um, and I will show you why it is sometimes a little bit of a problem because it is so prolific. But it means that once you grow it once, you’ll never have to buy the seeds again. And dealing with it is quite simple. It’s easy to pull out or to hoe off. But just I just noticed as I was speaking, I’ve got a weed here. And this weed looks very similar to this crop. And this weed here is known as goosefoot or lamb’s quarters. Now lamb’s quarter is very much very closely related to glitter spinach. Some botonists think that perhaps tree spinach is more of a domestication or cultivar of this gooseoot. But like goosefoot or like tree spinach both give you edible leaves. So whilst this might be a weed, it is an edible weed that you might want to consider leaving in your garden. And as you can see, it also has a bit of height, but lamb’s quarter, it will never out compete the scope and size of tree spinach. Now, one thing to be aware of, if you do grow this plant, you’re not really going to get rid of it. And that can be a great thing because I get loads of food to eat, but it can also be a bad thing because it might mean that you need to do a little bit more weeding. But here I’ve got celery or cilerak actually growing and this if I don’t deal with this tree spinach, it is going to take over. But you can just quite easily go and pull it up. Even with the size of it, it is very easy to go through and weed. And as I mentioned earlier with permaculture, what is actually a great benefit of it is that you you can weed it and then chop and drop and use it as a mulch around the other plants that are growing. If these got like really tall and I was like, “Okay, there may be a little bit of a beast and out competing the plants growing nearby.” The way I would chop and drop it is get something out some shears and start at the top and just work down so it falls down on the ground and then I will edit its placement around the other plants. So again, it’s providing another function and before this is actually the second batch of selfsewn tree spinach because before I planted the carak there was a ground cover of tree spinach. So, it’s actually protecting the ground, adding that fertility. We then cleared it, planted the cilerak, but there’s still more seeds in the seed soil bank. And uh yeah, it can take over, but I mean, it’s pretty. So, I’d rather that take over than other things. Now, if you want to sew some glitter spinach, all you need to do is find a place, throw down some seeds, break it in, and that’s it. But for all of the selfsewn seedlings like this one, it’s really easy to move about. You just dig it up with as much of the roots as possible and find the spot where you want to plant it and then you place it in. And then the next thing to do is to give it a really good water and it is going to be overly dramatic. It’s going to flop over and you’re going to think, “No, it’s not going to make it.” But then within a day or two, it will come back up and it will keep on growing. Because of this plant, during the growing season, I don’t really bother with growing spinach. I will right at the start and I’ll grow spinach to overwinter in the poly tunnel, but really glitter spinach takes over because I do like a bit of efficiency. And this just grows itself and it’s maybe time for you to consider growing it. But again, just be warned, it will spread. For some people, that’s a good thing. For other people, that’s a bad thing. And whilst you’re deciding whether it’s good or bad, watch this video.

S&P 500 Hits All-Time Highs
Hey yo, what’s up everybody? What’s going on folks? Welcome to the true training of live stream. Appreciate you guys all hanging out with me here today on this Thursday. It’s a wonderful day. Really is. Uh small caps are just redot. They’re absolutely on fire. Uh we had two big wins yesterday, STSS and INHD. Today we had OPAD and SOGP. all these stocks called out, identified through Mari, our AI technology that we have as part of the platform at your trading group and we’ve absolutely just ripped these things to shreds. So, um it’s been a really big P&L week. Tomorrow is a summer Friday prior to a holiday weekend with Labor Day coming up. So, let’s not try to do anything too crazy. Tomorrow, let’s look to just add some icing on top of the cake. Let’s add some gravy on top. Okay. Um it’s going to be a long holiday weekend. Markets are closed on Monday for Labor Day. So, I will not see you guys my usual Sunday night live stream when I give you my game plan and my thoughts for the whole week. That will take place on Monday night. So, you guys can set your reminders now. Make sure you are subscribed to the channel. If you guys are new, smash that like button, show us some love, and make sure your reminders are on Monday night. We’ll go live and talk about what it is that we’re expecting from the market next week. But the week’s not over yet. you saw PCE inflation data tomorrow and that PC inflation data although I don’t think it’s as meaningful as maybe some people might think because I think the markets even if you get a hot PPI PCE number like you got a hot PPI number the markets are going to look right through it because they looked right through the PPI number I think they’re going to look right through PCE and they’re going to look at the Fed’s going to begin cutting rates in September and you got a GDP number today 3.3% phenomenal print on GDP you got lower than expected jobless claims numbers and all that supports the the mindset that the Fed is about to embark on rate cuts on on a rate cut cycle and the economy is still holding together very well and is still in really great shape. So I think that that whole backdrop leaves you with markets new all-time highs obviously here today but really the question becomes how much further do you really think or do we really think that this market can go before we experience a bit of a pullback. I will tell you I am getting a little skeptical and a little cautious going into the towards the end of this year. Um but we’ll talk about that maybe a little bit deeper as we get in. And I do think it’s possible we can see a bit of a hiccup and a pullback in the month of September. Um, but we’ll talk more about that on on Monday night. Okay, welcome to the live stream, guys. Uh, today we’re going to talk about, you know, the big trades from the day today. Um, we’re going to go through positions that I’m in currently. Um, and I’ll go over with you guys my thoughts on the overall market. We’ll talk about Nvidia, Snowflake, uh, Pure Storage. Two huge runners after earnings today. Snowflake and and PSTG. Both stocks that I have my long-term portfolio. Both stocks that I thought coming into the day today, they were gapping up in front of huge resistance levels after earnings. And I said yesterday, I think on my live stream yesterday, I said to you guys, “Hey, listen. If these things pop up into these resistance levels, I’m actually going to look to try to fade off of them and try to make a take like a quick little day trade short off those levels.” Nah. No. Um I mean, thank God I did not end up doing that because the stocks, they just blew right through them. Like both stocks gapped up when the markets opened and they just went straight up and they just cut right through those levels. There was no rejection. There was no pause. There was no hesitation. There was zero selling pressure on those names. Um it was just straight aggressive hardheavy institutional buying all day long on those two stocks today. So there was just at no point was there any type of a signal to even look for any type of a short. So we did not take any of those trades today. Uh made some money long core. Uh made some money short Micro Strategy. Made some money long OPAD. Made some money long SS OGP. And I lost some money on PaloAlto. I actually tried to short PaloAlto in the morning. That was like my one short that I went after with the gap down on Crowd Strike. I was like, “Yeah, let’s short PaloAlto at resistance at the 50-day. That one didn’t work.” So, full disclosure, I did stop out of that one. I took a loss on that trade today, but the rest of them all winners. So, we’re four for five on the day. Winners, Core, weave, SOGP, Micro Strategy, OP AD, Loser, Palatoto. All right, that’s the day. Um, I still have two of those positions that are open. So, we’ll dive in and we’ll get into it. My name is Michael Edward Parinati in case you guys are new. Uh I go by Michael Edward. I’m the co-founder and head trader of True Trading Group. Um you know, if you guys didn’t know or if you maybe haven’t aren’t familiar with True Trading Group, TTD literally exists to help you guys learn learn faster, trade smarter, and profit sooner. We are very proud to be partnered with and powered by the NASDAQ, Benzinga, OpenAI, Trading View, Data Bento, and Unusual Whales. Those are our partners and data providers that we work very closely with to build out the fintech platform that is TTG. Um, this is not just a chat room with trade alerts and courses. This is an entire fintech platform. I want you to think of TTG as the Bloomberg terminal for retail traders with all the tools and resources, data, um, and everything that you guys have access to that really gives our members an advantage over other retail traders because they have access to the tools and resources that they need. I actually shared today on my X account. If you guys want to follow me on X, my handle is Mike Edu uh Mike Edward_TTG. Again, that’s Mike Edward_TTG. If you guys want to follow me on X, I shared a message today by one of our members. One of our members um said that prior to joining True Trading Group, they were trying to trade on their own. They were like watching YouTube videos. They were just doing it on their own. And they dug themselves a big hole. They lost a lot of money. They joined True Trading Group in January of this year. You can see the message on my ex account if you guys go and don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t go don’t pull it up um they joined a training group in January of this year and as of yesterday they had made back everything that they had lost prior to joining TTG and they brought their account now completely back into the green. It’s just an unbelievable accomplishment and achievement. I think it’s something a lot of people even that are watching this live stream would love to accomplish. Um but you know when you really think about it that the person then went on to say you know if it wasn’t for the the members the tools the AI and the moderators none of this would have been possible and that’s really want to I want to hit on when it comes to True Trading Group. You guys understand it’s not people don’t join True Trading Group just because they watch one of my live streams and I’m like oh this guy knows what he’s talking about let me follow all of his trades. That’s just not the I mean, yeah, sure, some people join because of that. Some people join because they make money just from watching a live stream. And they’re like, well, if I can make money on a live, just, you know, imagine what I can do if I was trading with these people live in, you know, real time every single day. Um, so yes, some people join for trade alerts. The moderators and I collectively have maintained a cumulative win rate of around 80% now going on roughly the last six years. That’s on all of our executions. every buy, every take profit, every stop-loss, all keep track, every green, red, break even trade, it’s all there for you guys. Um, full full transparency and full disclosure there on the TTG website with all of our trading activity. Um, but people join a trading group not not just for those trade alerts. They join it because they have they get the tools that they need to give themselves the very best chance of having success. You will never really know if trading is for you or not if you do not give yourself the tools you need to succeed. Period. It’s like saying, “I don’t really know if I’m a good golfer or not.” And you don’t have a driver in your bag and you don’t have a putter. You’re going to suck. If you don’t have a driver and you don’t have a putter, you’re not going to be very good at golf, plain and simple, you don’t have the tools necessary to be a good golfer. When it comes to trading, if you do not have the tools necessary to be a good trader, you’re not going to be. So, don’t make the mistake just of thinking just because you’ve lost money previously without having any tool or anything to give you an advantage at your disposal. And I mean something to really give you an advantage. I’m not talking about somebody on YouTube or somebody on in a Discord room that claims to predict the future or have some super special top secret indicator or some, you know, 99.9% win rate algorithm nonsense [ __ ] I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about real tools that professional traders have access to that will give you a drastic advantage and edge over other retail traders. If you don’t have those things, then you really don’t know if trading is is for you or not. And that kind of brought me back to when that member whose name I’ll give his first name. His name is Jake. Um, everyone in True Training Group knows who he is, but no, I’m not going to give you his last name on the on YouTube. But, um, it’s like Jake. Jake didn’t have access to the tools and resources that were necessary. Lost a bunch of money, dug himself a hole, joined to a training group, got access to all the tools, the resources, the award-winning AI that that is that is Mari. That’s the trading co-pilot that you guys get when you join True Trading Was platform, you know, and it was because of those things that he’s now been able to make back everything that he lost and his his account is now green. Mari two for two again on earnings today. Um, Autodesk and Ulta Beauty. Yeah, Mari’s ridiculous. Mari is ridiculous, guys. Mari is that’s our AI and Mari is the recipient of the 2024 global Benzinga fintech award for best AI analysis tool and we are up for more awards this year in 2025 and we will be attending the Benzinga fintech awards and the Benzinga deal show conference in November. We will be there again. We’ll keep you guys posted with that. Last year we actually did a live stream from the Benzinga ceremonies um for that. So maybe we’ll do something like that again similar to this year. But there’s a reason why we have a partnership with Benzena. There’s a reason why we have a partnership with the NASDAQ. There’s a reason why we have a partnership with Unusual Whales. These companies work with us because they see what we are doing implementing AI technology into retail trading. There’s a reason why we have over 10,000 members in 114 different countries. And the reason for that is that our members actually have success when they become a part of TTG. And they have success when they come to a part of TTG, not because I am the world’s greatest trader. They have success because this entire platform is built specifically around giving you a platform, the tools and resources to give you an advantage and to give you, the individual user, the very best chance of having success. That’s why. And when I talk about have success, I very plainly and simply mean make money. Members of TTG are making money, guys, and they’re becoming better traders. And you shouldn’t believe me just because I say that. You should believe members because they say it. So, let’s ask them. Members of TTG, if you’re on this live stream right now and you guys are making money, you’re becoming a better trader because of TTG, type the number one inside chat right now. Just type the number one inside chat right now. If you’re a member and you guys are making money with TTJ and you guys are becoming better traders. Kevin says, “This is the truest of all trading groups. Want to learn how to trade and invest? Join now.” Says, “Smooth brain.” Great day today, my boy Smiley. Yes, Smiley was Smiley. Unbelievable day today. It really was an unbelievable day today. Four for five. I was four for five today, but I know we had some other members that even had better days than that. So, um, but you guys take a look, you know, you take a look at, you know, what you’re seeing from a lot of our members. Just count how many people are typing number one to you right now. And this is not a very active live stream. We only have like 600 people right now that are on the live stream. It’s it’s summer. You’re going into the holiday weekend. usually have like, you know, a thousand, 2,000 people on the streams. So, but even with that small amount of people that that are there right now, you can see how many people are typing number one, telling you that they’re making money and they’re becoming better traders. If they can do this, then so can you. That’s that’s it. Period. If they can do it, so can you. They’re not smarter than you. They’re not luckier than you. They don’t have more time than you. 82% of our members have a full-time job, and they stay with True Training Group at a club well into the 70s. Our retention rate is well into the 70s. It’s because our members have success, not because they like the sound of my voice. That’s it. Period. So, that’s all, folks. All right. So, here’s what I’ll do. I want to get into with you guys here tonight. I want to get into SOGP, OP AD. Um, those are two small cap day trades that we took today. We’ll talk about the setups on them. I’m no longer in either of those trades. We’ll talk about core reef which is a position that I actually still have a piece of and we’ll talk about micro strategy which is a short position that I still have a piece of. So the micro strategy position is a piece that I got into on Monday. Um short micro strategy from 35112. We’re still in that position. We took profit today when the stock dropped under 340. Um and coral reef today I’m long from 160. We took profits into 105 but I’m still longing a piece of that to see if we can break 10550ish. Coravee has room to the upside. So, um, we’re in a good position there. We’re in the driver’s seat. We got profits off into 105. The stock is sitting 103. I’m long from 100 and a half. So, I’m okay kind of sitting on this position and giving it another day or so with the markets moving higher. So, I’ll give you guys updates on all of that. Before I get into that, I’ll let anyone here that’s not a member of True Trading Group, I’ll let you guys what I did for people the other day is if you guys are interested in joining and becoming part of the community and part of the platform and you guys want to use the the award-winning AI that award-winning AI tool from the Benzingo award cere or Benzingo award conference.

All right, let’s take things back on now over to the charts and let’s talk about the new alltime high today. You know, uh, we were all over this thing in the pre-market. We’ve got our futures trading room. So, in TTG, we trade stocks, options, futures, we day trade, we swing trade. We have a separate room specifically for futures trading. Um, every day we go over the the overall markets and what it is that we’re looking for. Support levels for us today on the gap up was this was a very easy setup. This is a very nice clean flat top support level here around 646. Then we had gapped above which clears out the level and you look for a pullback back into that level to retest and then you look for it to become support. That’s exactly what happened. There’s your resistance. There’s your resistance. Gapped above it today. pulled in early off the open and then there it is sticking that support and then reverse back to the upside to go ahead and print those new all-time highs. So, let’s go to the intraday three-minute chart. Dip into support, hold, and then rally you go um up and away to the new all-time highs. That’s exactly what you got there. Um that’s exactly what you got there on the spot. I do think that you’re going to get in here probably to 650 651 tomorrow. I expect a slower day tomorrow with the holiday going into uh Labor Day. Unless there is some type of a shocking number on that PCE. I will tell you that tomorrow’s inflation data. I believe if it comes in line or under expectations, this market’s going to continue to float into the low 650s. If the number comes in a little bit hot, I don’t think that that really rattles the market’s feathers at all. If it comes in scorchingly hot, then you could probably see a pullback back into like the low 640s. But I don’t think you’re going to get a scorching hot PCE number. I think the PC number will be more tame. I think it’ll look a little bit more similar to the CPI number than the PPI number, but we’ll have to wait and see. I’m not here to predict uh data points. I’m not here to predict anything. I focus on high probability setups. I position myself for the probability with good risk management over and over and over again. And that’s what trading really is all about. Okay, so those are my thoughts with regards to the the overall market. Let me take you guys over to core weave and we’ll just show you that one real quick. What I’m looking at here with core weave is is really this level of resistance that if we can reclaim, okay, has has a chance to give you a nice pop. All right, and I want to show this show you this level of resistance. So, what you will notice is as we look back, okay, you’ll notice here in July and August, we had a nice little support level in place there in the low 100s. We broke underneath that in August, tried to get back above it, and it became resistance. Now, you also have the 100 day moving average, which is this pink line you see on my screen that is also sitting right there at 105. So, what I’m thinking here on this, and then you had this nice strong increase in volume over the last two days, is I’m thinking that the stock is trying to put in a little bit of like a U-shaped bottom and then push back to the upside. But you have to clear this 105. You got to clear this 105.
Okay? And if you can clear this 105, I think you can get a candle that on core tomorrow that looks something like this. So let’s just say tomorrow if you get a favorable PCE number, right? If you get a favorable PCE number, I think the markets can move higher. And I think core, if corre gaps up tomorrow to let’s say you wake up tomorrow morning and core is like north of 104, I I think I think it’s a long probably to push up towards 110. Now, if we gap down tomorrow down to like, you know, 101 or something like that, then I’m not going to like that as much. Okay. But if we had a if we gapped up tomorrow to like 104, I I think that this is a great long. Um I think I think that this is a a great long back up to the upside. Okay. So, keep an eye on it tomorrow. We’ll see what happens. You know, heavy volume these last two days. Let’s see if that can give us a little bit of a breakout and we’ll see if we’re able to reclaim that previous support level. Um, and if you do, we could have some upside. So, again, I’m long from60. I took profit off today at 103 and 105. I’m still long some. All right. I do not want to see the stock get back under 100. Okay, that is the update there on Core. And then I’m short Micro Strategy. I’ve bench up Micro Strategy since Monday. I’ll take you guys into show you this. We’ll go to a fiveminute chart so I can clean this up here a little bit. So I shorted Micro Strategy on the back of this double top on the day we had this gap down. I’m short from 351 and 12. It’s a I got a great entry point on this. Um I had to be patient. You know, for two days the stock just kind of chopped around a little bit. Kind of came back up here. Went back to my entry. Double topped again. and rolled back down. And today I finally got some downside. So today I finally got a break of these these little support, this little support level that’s been in play. You can see support support. We finally broke that today. There’s no support. Broke that today and I was able to get some profits off today um on that. But I’m still in the bulk of this position. My next day profit’s going to be down here around 335. And then my and then I’m going to be looking to take more profit off down here at 325. So I I plan on being in this position. I’ve already been in it for four days. I I probably going to be in this position for another week. Um I fully expect myself to still be in this position tomorrow. Still be in a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday as I think we could see a little bit of a pullback here um on Micro Strategy as it’s just weaker to me. Feels weaker to me right now than than Bitcoin in general. And you’ve got this level here that used to be a huge level of support. Uh and we broke it and I’m looking for it to now become resistance. So there was resistance back in January and February. We broke above that in April and then we pulled back down into that level and it was holding a it was beautiful support in May and June and then last week we broke it. So you can see this huge big red flush out candle, nice increase in volume, and then you bounce back into that resistance level. And then now, not only do you have the price structure of prior support now being resistance, you also have this yellow line, which is the 200 day moving average, and this light blue line, which is the 9 EMA to also line up right there at that level to give you resistance. So once when after that day, we gapped down. On the gap down, I said, “Okay, now I’m going to go ahead and get short.” And I got short right there at 351. And now you can see we’re starting to try to roll this down. I’m looking for this to like, you know, roll over. Okay. I’m looking for Micro Strategy to do something like this. So I’m not in this trade just for 330s. You know, I’m in this trade for for more than that. So we’ll see if we get it. My stop loss was up there at 360. When I entered at 351, we got down to 340. I took some profit off. So, I’m already, you know, I took about 25% of my position off the table. Um, I’m still in bulk. I’m still in 75%. We’ll look to take more off around 335 to 330. Okay. So, that’s what I’m looking for there on Micro Strategy. The other thing here is also now that you’re underneath this 200 day. If you take a look, every time that we have encountered the 200 day moving average for the last couple of years, it’s been support. It’s been heavy support. Look at this. Look at these touches on this yellow line. That’s the 200 day moving average. Look at this. It’s absolutely mindblowing the support that you have at that 200 day moving average all the way back to early 2023. So now that you broke underneath it, we’re looking for it to be resistance and we’re looking for more downside here. Uh micro strategy. I don’t mind if I have to hold this for another week or so. All right. So those are the positions that I am already in and that I still have. Okay. Now, let’s go to OP AD. Looks like OPAD might have announced an offering after the close. Got a nice big big flush after the close. This is why you don’t swing trade these stocks. You just day trade them. But this is a really really really nice clean setup for us earlier today. We call this a TTG triangle. TTG triangle is my favorite setup. Um, don’t, you know, try to Google it. It’s a I I made the term up. Essentially, for those of you that are experienced traders, what a TT triangle is, it’s a specific variation of the common ABCD pattern when very specific criteria are met. It’s an extremely high probability pattern that offers wonderful u that offers wonderful riskreward. So, um essentially it occurs when a stock breaks through its initial morning high with the heaviest volume it’s experienced on the day. you get a lower volume pullback back into that initial morning high with other indicators rushing to the upside to meet that same price point like a 9 EMA a trade line would I’m sorry 90 which is also called the trade line VWOP a 382 or 236 Fibonacci level and when you get those you know confluence of indicators all lining up at that initial morning high after the stock just broke through with heavy volume when you get a low volume pullback back into that you look for the stock to then hold that support level and then you get the follow-through. That’s what happened on OPAD and it was an absolute thing of beauty. And we’ll go and take a look at it. And I’ll just kind of zoom this in so you guys can really see what I’m referring to. Here’s your initial morning high. It’s the first high that the stock puts puts in before you experience your first pullback. So, you printed this high at 405, dipped all the way down to 360, and then bang, you break through it. And when you broke through it, I want you guys to notice, look at how strong the volume was. Nice strong increasing volume on the break. He then pulled back in and I got long right there. $410. Okay, $410. I step in there and I take the long. We pull back in again to retest that level again. Confirm support, support, support, right? Support, support. Just absolute thing of beauty. And then you’ll see as the stock consolidates above that prior high, it forms what looks like a triangle, right? Like a descending triangle. Hence, TTD triangle pattern, right? That’s what we call it. Uh, and then you look for the stock to break out of that triangle and to give you that breakout. And then there you go. There’s your breakout on OPAD. Was an absolute thing of beauty. Okay? Was an absolute thing of beauty. We took profits off into that move. And then you had another setup here. Here’s your previous high. You broke through it. Heaviest volume of the day. And then what happens? You pull back in to retest that level. You add another confluence of indicators. There’s your VWOP indicator to line up there as well. And then you’ll notice very very very weak decreasing volume as the stock pulled back in to retest that level. It held support there again and then you got the next round of your short squeeze and we took final profits off guys today. Final profit came off the table $6.14 on OP A was an absolute beauty from 405 okay up to 614.
Beautiful trade and our AI was also all over it. Our AI scanner was calling out OP AD all day. Was calling it out all day.
Okay. So that’s OP A was a beauty. Was an absolute be. All right, guys. So, let’s touch on some earnings that we actually had. We had Ulta, we had Affirm come out with some earnings. So, let’s talk about that.
All right, I’ll go through a firm with you guys first. Um, as that stock is actually breaking. Wow, you’re actually breaking above a tough resistance level right now.
That’s a tough resistance level. Stock has room now up into like the mid 90s. So here you guys can see this resistance level right here in the low 80s. See we’re gapping above it now. So let’s go through these earnings.
It is a top and bottom line beat. 20 cents a share versus 10 cents. Sales come in at 876 million. Analysts were expecting 837 million. They see um next quarter sales of 855 to 885 million. Analysts expecting 860. They see fullyear sales of 3.864 billion. Analysts only expecting 3.18 billion. That’s a sizable guidance beat for a full year. Okay. Um really really really nice guidance there from a firm and that’s why the stock is up now 12% on the day trading higher in the after hours. I honestly think the stock has room. I mean now that you’ve taken out those low 80s
I mean I you’ve got you’ve got room into the mid 90s. I think you got room into the mid 90s. Stock is 87. Let’s actually add this one to the list maybe for a possible trade tomorrow. Maybe a quick pull in into like 83, 84. We can look for a long and see if we can push this thing into the mid 90s. We’ll keep that on watch for tomorrow. That’s going to be a firm. Then we’ll move on over to Ulta. Ulta Beauty, they had earnings as well. That’s moving higher.
Wow. You’re actually testing alltime high right now on Alta. This is going to be big. 575 area all-time high here for Alta. You can see we just popped into it and just rejected off of it. So, you’re unable to break the all-time high on the back of earnings. Let’s read through it. It’s a top and bottom line beat. $5.78 versus $4.97. Sales come in at 2, excuse me, sales come in at 2.79 billion. Analysts were expecting 2.67 billion. They did raise their guidance. Earnings per share $23.85 to $24.30. Analysts were expecting $23.58 and they also raised their fullear guidance to 12 billion to 12.1 billion. Analysts were only expecting 11.7. So it’s a fantastic report here for Ulta fueled by growth across all major categories. The beauty retailer beat on revenue earnings per share and they raise guidance. So this is a very strong report there for Ulta. It’s got the stock gapping up all the way. has a stock gapping up.
Um, it has a stock gapping up into that all-time high resistance.
Okay,
so there we have it. All right, folks. So, that’s it. There’s your live. We’re done. We’re going to wrap it there, folks. Again, if you are not a member of True Training Group, make sure you go to ttgoffer.com. Check out everything that’s included in your membership. It’s 197 for 90 days. Okay. All of our members, members of TTG, okay, members of TG, listen to me very carefully. We have just completed the integration of the level three data onto the AI charts. It is 100% integrated now with Mari and your memories. So the level three data is now integrated onto the AI charts and Mari is also integrated into the AI charts so that everything that you are going through now in the AI charts will be will be collected and processed in in Mari’s memories of you. We are just cleaning it up. The integration is complete. We will push the update out very soon. We will give updates to you guys when that is ready to go. But it’s very exciting. So essentially, if you guys don’t know, we have access to a level three data feed through our data partnership agreement from the NASDAQ. Level three is a finger regulated data feed that comes directly from the NASDAQ exchange. It’s an institutional feed. It essentially shows you every order in the market, not just level two. And it also has the ability to make the distinction between an institutional order and a retail order. we are now and like spoof orders, iceberg orders, um all of that crosses, you can see all of that with level three. What we have done is we have an AI charting system at TTG where our AI is integrated onto the chart and you can communicate with the AI, identify support, resistance, patterns, candlesticks, help you determine trading plans, entries, profit targets, stop losses, etc. Um, and what we have done now is we’ve integrated the level three data feed onto the chart. So, you’ll be able to toggle the data on and off and it will plot with different icons, institutional order, re, okay, like institutional order, spoof order, iceberg order as the chart is moving with price, you’re going to get these icons will print to show you where that data is coming in at. And you can toggle that on or off on the chart. That is now completed. That integration is completed. You might have been wondering why we received the Benzinga Fintech award. Well, there’s the reason why. That’s not the reason we won. We didn’t have that this this tool. We didn’t have it last year, but this is the innovation that you guys get as being being part of the member of TTG. So, um that is completed and we’ve also integrated Mari the AI into it as well so that it can now incorporate all of your memories. Okay. So, really exciting, awesome stuff that is going to be um cleaned up. up. We’re just going to clean it up real quick and then we’re going to push it out very very soon. So, I’m really excited for our members. You guys are going to have access to that very, very, very soon. All right, for the rest of you that are not members, ttgoffer.com.

Qwen 2.5-VL Tutorial – OpenCV Live 182
Please in the chat wherever you’re watching on Zoom, Twitch, LinkedIn Live, YouTube, or even for some reason on Facebook, let us know where you are joining from. We love to see the global OpenCV audience chiming in every Thursday morning here on OpenCV Live. I am coming to you today from beautiful 21. Um, and uh, Doc, where you coming from? San Diego, California. And it’s getting the usual places. The usual places.
I am fixing our Zoom feed real quick. Um, it seems like Okay.
Yes, that was the problem. Uh, sorry Z. Oh, I can’t apologize to them cuz they’re not involved. They’re not in here yet. But all right, Zoom is now live. We should be good everywhere. Um, I know this is super exciting to watch a guy push buttons you can’t see, but uh we do have an exciting episode for you today. We’ve got our very own Dr. Sat will be giving us a tutorial on the Quinn 2.5 VL multimodal language model from Alibaba Cloud. I think a lot of people out there that aren’t uh clued super clued in to the uh computer vision scene uh as it were may not realize that uh Alibaba has such a massive um uh AI infrastructure within the company at this point. Um, I think they know about them at all. Most out there know that the even cheaper version of Amazon basically
like knockoff electronics components. They know they’re they’re a massive company and they have and the thing Yeah. And the thing is that they are also, you know, the solutions they have chosen the open source path. So the weights are open source. It’s really uh you know they’re doing a very good job and uh one of their pet peeves is that you know our models are so good but somehow people don’t uh they they don’t reference us in papers right everybody outside the papers right everybody knows that the models are really good for some reason they they don’t get mentioned right so it’s one of those things that um sometimes it is just it is just sad that people don’t the attention that they they deserve. So we will we will give Quen some attention.
We know all about that here at OpenCV. Something we discuss quite frequently. Um Zoom looks like it’s up everybody on Zoom. Sorry about the late start here today. I am uh not in my wizard tower floating high above Selma in San Francisco, California, but in instead in Tana, Mexico um the happiest place on earth as Crusty the Clown famously called it. And it is that for me I must say every time I come here something else impresses me about it. Um especially the food the food in Tana is fantastic. If you ever get the chance um definitely cross the border and have a visit. It’s um uh a really interesting uh place with awesome food and and extremely cool people. Um but yeah, Zoomers, uh let me know. Let us know where you’re joining from because you missed my little early preamble there. Looks like we’ve got some folks coming in from Nigeria. We’ve got uh Baja. Hey, how you Baja? Uh UAE chiming in here. Um so yeah, let us know where you’re joining from. I know we started a little bit late and we’re also having maybe some small video issues, but it looks like we are in fact live everywhere and so we’ll uh uh get started here. I think Doc, if you’re ready to go, um let’s go ahead and do it. Uh do you want to talk a little bit about OpenCVU at the top? So uh let let me officially start it. Right. Hello everybody. Welcome to OpenCV live. In today’s episode, we are going to discuss Quen 2.5VL. This is a large visual language model where we will discuss what are the capabilities of these model and how to do image captioning, object detection using this model. Very powerful model as you will see. But before we uh start, we also have with us Phil Nelson who is the director of content and creative at OpenCV. He produces the show. If anything goes wrong, it is his fault. Hi Phil.
Good morning out there everybody. Yes, it’s me. It’s me P I P. I am the co-host with the co-host the second of the second. I am also your plus one and only. It’s Mr. Nelson if you’re nasty but you my dear friends can call me Phil. And I’m here to remind you of a few things that we do on every single episode of this year program. The first of which is a giveaway to you out there in the audience. Stay tuned later on in the episode. I will be asking a trivia question based on the presentation by our illustrious host Dr. Satia Malik. And the very first person to answer that question correctly will win the Open CV University course of their choosing. We’ve got a little bit more to say about OpenCV University in a few minutes. But we’re also taking questions from you in the audience. Use the Q&A button wherever you’re watching in the chat. Just type your question or if you’re on Zoom, hit that Q&A button. save those questions for us in about 40 minutes or so. We’ll do Q&A uh afterwards uh after we do our trivia segment. So stay tuned. We like to alert people to pay attention. Uh if you want that course, watch the episode. Remember what the doc says and you too could win. Um but to start us off here, let’s briefly discuss. We’ve got some uh some some big open CVU news here. I’ll bring the screen share up. Yeah. So the sale has started. We started early. That’s why it’s called early bird special. It is this early bird special is going to end uh tonight. So if you’re interested in OpenCV courses, this is the absolute best time to start. So uh the the thing that I recommend is uh you know it’s a collection. If you’re really serious about a career in AI, then uh the best option uh available for computer vision and AI is our computer vision and deep learning master program. So this is a collection of six courses and it basically has all the courses that we offer and there are two courses out of these six courses there are two courses that are super important. It is fundamentals of computer vision and image processing. This is a Python based course and we also have two deep learning courses. You can do u any one of them deep learning with PyTorch or deep learning with TensorFlow and KAS. And you know these are serious courses, right? These are not like uh your normal courses where you go and uh finish it in 7 days, right? These courses will take you uh solid like each course will take you about 3 months to complete. Uh and but but after you done that, you have a very solid foundation of what uh computer vision is and also about deep learning, right? So 3 and 1/2 months for computer vision course, 3 and 1/2 months for the deep learning course, that’s about 7 months and maybe uh 1 month for uh you know uh just just as a a cushion there. So in 8 months you have a very good shot of calling yourself um an AI expert. In fact, I can say without hesitation that this course is better than 99.9% of the courses out there, including top university courses. So, uh so you know this is a very good deal also right now if you look at uh the pricing 40% off that goes away tonight. So, uh if you’re interested, please uh go and check it out. This is for serious people, right? If you just want to dabble with in in computer vision then uh this may not be the right choice for you but if you are serious about getting expertise in computer vision and AI this is the absolute best program for you. uh in addition to this right so people who go and purchase this uh program during this webinar uh and and you can let me know in the chat section you purchase the webinar uh just you know give a screenshot or something uh or or just send us an email at coursesopencv.org board, I will send you a special gift, right? This is a webinar only special and this is basically a book by Frans. This uh of $48 value and uh this is this book is called deep learning with Python and we’ll give you this book for free, right? Uh but you have to purchase this is not included in this um in this webinar uh in this sale Labor Day sale but I have this very special webinar offer for you. If you uh if you purchase it during this webinar before this webinar is over and send send us an email at courses openc.org you will get that book included in this uh in this program. All right so uh let’s get started. Uh, we have a very exciting uh Oh, actually, sweet doc. Yeah. Do you have other things to cover before we get started? No, I think we should just get going here. I’m going to uh put take myself off cam and uh turn the show over to you, Doc. All right. So, uh let me sh uh let me share my screen. How do I share my screen?
Okay, right here. share screen and we are going to start with.
Can you guys see my screen?
Uh, can people see my screen?
Um, yeah, you’re all good, doc. Sorry about that. I was I was muted out for a sec. I’m having some AV difficulties here, but go for it. All right, no problem. So, okay. So, Quen 2.5VL. First of all, what is a vision language model? Right. Now, um a vision language model is basically uh a a model, right? We we some of you may know or most of you probably know what is a large language model. A large language model is an AI uh model that has been trained on internet scale uh data, right? So we basically took all the all the uh data from the internet uh all the text data from the internet and created a single AI, right? AI model that is so large uh that it it basically encodes all the information all the world information and you’re able to answer um talk to it, right? So uh that’s a large language model but of course we know that uh you know text can go only so far we also need to include images and videos and that’s where vision language model comes in. So you know if you look at traditional computer vision uh algorithms or neural networks like image classification let’s say you want uh you want to build an image classification model you give it an input and the neural network basically would tell you what the output is right it could in a standard classification problem the input is a dog and or input is an image and the output is a class label right and you have this neural network that you train and for training this neural network. You take several examples of dogs, cats, horses, whatever you want, whatever classes you want and uh you basically train the neural network. You have the ground truth also. Uh you also know which image contains uh what, right? So image of a dog, you have the label dog, image of a cat, you have the lab label cat and so on and so forth. And then you train uh a uh you know a neural network uh usually an image class uh class classification network like let’s say ResNet 50 and you it will be able to tell you information about those classes only right so let’s say you had 50 classes in your training set you would be able to get 50 classes you know you’ll be if if there is an image of that class it will be able to classify that okay this is a cat dog etc but this is a very limited way uh because it doesn’t know anything outside that class, right? And just imagine um if you give it let’s say there were no elephants in the class and you gave it u image of an elephant, you it would either classify it as one of those uh other uh 50 classes or you could have a catchall, you know, uh unknown class and that that’s the best it can do, right? it can cannot automatically uh figure out that it’s an elephant. However, if you had trained a visual language model, right, you u and a lot of these models are trained on image caption pairs. So they go on the internet, they find out, okay, this is an image, there’s a caption. So this vision language model because the language part is there, it gets world knowledge from the language part. It is able to infer what is what an elephant is. Even though uh you had never explicitly trained it to recognize elephants, the vision language model would be able to recognize elephants because it has been trained on internet scale uh image caption pairs. Right? So that’s the basic difference between u VLMs and uh traditional uh computer vision techniques like uh CNN’s. Now uh using CNN’s right the normal image classification uh techniques uh both worlds right so vision systems when we uh when we analyze an image using let’s say a convolutional neural network we get features which learn which know a lot about that particular image right so we learn those features and that’s the vision part so you are able to very closely analyze what is inside this image but at the same time the language part because it has been trained on world knowledge from the internet uh you’re combining that world knowledge with local information so the vision part is getting local features and this LLM is basically helping you uh get global context so you are able to do so many things which were completely it’s it almost looks like science fiction now right one uh big difference between traditional methods, right? Uh or it’s it’s funny I’m calling them traditional methods now. Uh but they are pretty new techniques, right? U so let’s say image traditional methods of of so long ago like 5 years. So u now think about image classification when we say image classification uh the input and the output they are constant right and only the neural network architecture changes. When I say that ResNet 50 is an image classification network, you would immediately know what is the input and what is the output. Okay. Similarly, when when I say um okay, we train an object detector, you know that the input is an image and the output is a collection of bounding boxes with labels. So there is no ambiguity in what an object detector does uh or what an image classification network does uh or a segmentation model does. the input and output. As soon as I say that I have an object detected, you are very sure what it actually means, right? But that’s not the case with VLMs. The VLMs, they could mean many different things, right? So, um for example, uh a few weeks back we had done um uh uh we we we had done an episode on uh on clip. So the architecture of clip the inputs that were given to clip the output clip gives is completely different from quen 2.5 VL they are completely except for the word VLM that they are both VLMs they are both visual language models there is no similarity between the two uh right the so this is something that you have to uh bear in mind that this is not like when when people talk about VLMs they can actually talk about many different things right. The only thing constant among them is that the input is um image plus uh you know sometimes even the uh input is not um is not the same. But if you look at modern uh you know the more capable VLMs usually you have an input which is image plus text or video plus text and the output is usually text right it can also be an image but for simplicity we can just keep it text right and so today we are going to talk about uh quen 2.5 VL uh now even though in this diagram I say that okay we can have image and uh text usually Everything is encoded in a prompt, right? So the prompt encodes the image, the text, the video, whatever you want to give it, it is encoded in a prompt and then we have the uh visual language model in between and the output is text. So we’ll show you the exact syntax how it is done um in uh using Jupyter notebooks. But let’s first look at the capability, right? What is this visual language model capable of? Uh what you’re looking at this input, right? This input has four images in the same image and you can ask quen 2.5VL what are these attractions right we are not giving one attraction at a time this is a complex image it has four uh different images uh embedded in it and u we are saying that please give the names in Chinese and English okay and if you do this it will output this kind of thing it would say the great pyramid of Giza and uh you know uh words in Chinese which I’m assuming are the great pyramids of Giza and uh similarly right uh it would say the top right uh we have the great wall of China bottom left the statue of liberty top right uh the terraota army now think about it we did not there was no training involved the model is so capable that you give this complex image it figures out the structure the layout of the image that it’s not a single image but a collection of four images And then it is able to say uh you know what are the various things right what are the various attracts. So this is a very powerful capability which uh you know just a few few years back uh it was it was not possible. In fact a year or two back it was not possible. Um now you may be thinking that oh I’m going to use VLMs for everything now because why would I use uh tradition uh why would I use image classification or object detector when I can just use throw a VLM at it. The problem is these are very heavy models, right? You cannot use them uh you can use some of these models on the edge, right? But they require uh they require compute and things that can be done. So don’t use a very big hammer to solve a small problem, right? Use uh the right tool uh for the right task. So there are things where you just don’t have enough data. If you have no data at all, then start with a VLM. And uh if you have data and you have to you have to solve a very specific task for example if you are uh if you’re building something for a manufacturing u inspection in a manufacturing plant then uh you know the kinds of defects right um and the VLM may not have that level of knowledge right that okay this is a defect because who knows right that manu that manufactured plant only you know that a defect looks like this and you may not have many examples of that defect, right? So, you are much better off training um in an an image classification uh network and solving that problem. So, use the right hammer for the task, right? The right tool for the task. Don’t uh you know uh because these things would be very expensive to run if you uh actually use them. Okay, so here’s another example uh what uh Quen 2.5VL is capable of doing. you’re looking at um a picture okay and you’re asking the VLM detect all motorcyclists in the image and return their locations in the form of the coordinates and then we are giving it the format right we want bounding boxes 2D this is the format it has a label and it has a sublabel the label is motorcyclist the sublabel is wearing helmet uh or not or not wearing helmet okay and if you run it on this particular image you will see this output right. So it has you can see that all the all the uh all the motorcyclists have been identified and um and it also you know the the coordinates have been identified and it says not wearing helmet, not wearing helmet, not wearing helmet and then wearing helmet. You would expect you know uh in in a street scene most of them would be wearing helmets and then there would be one which would be not wearing helmet but um I’m guessing that this is a scene from Asia. In fact when I was growing up they would um nobody nobody wore helmet uh while riding bikes. Um so it’s it’s just funny that you would not see this kind of scene in the in the US. Um but yes uh it it did find all the classes as well as uh the subclasses right and now you can use this model. Uh important thing here is you never trained this model on uh on helmet versus non not helmet. You never trained it explicitly to detect uh bikes. Right? So it has figured out by uh you know by the training process that these kinds of things are helmets, these kinds of things are bikes and it also knows how to localize uh this information. Right? So it is you know fascinating what it is able to do. It is almost like science fiction. One uh one thing I would like to point out is that some of these examples have been run uh the quen 2.5VL comes in many different flavors. So the biggest model uh was used to produce these examples. So sometimes when you use a small model which is which you can do on Google Collab, you may not get the same quality results because you know it’s a small model not as big uh for which these results were generated. U it also understands because of the language part it has um it has a sense of what uh the social structure is right. There are a lot of uh you know when when we uh as humans when we interact with other people there are a lot of you know social information that we absorb from the environment uh which which doesn’t need to be explicitly taught to us right the same thing happens with because of the scale at which these things are operating they understand uh the context right the social context also for example in this case uh you are given an image and it is said you know you you ask it what is which person is as a uh you know acting bravely in this case. There’s a lot going on in this image, right? It needs to know that uh first of all, it needs to completely understand that okay, there is a knife, there is a person, he’s threatening a woman and there is another person who is trying to save, right? But not only that, it also uh needs to know this the idea what bravery is, right? What courage is, it needs to have absorbed that idea as well, right? It is not just that you can locate all these things, right? That is that is a mechanical process, right? that is um that is doable right you can understand that but to identify that in this context this is the person who is acting bravely that is quite something that has it gives you a glimpse of intelligence right not AGI or anything but still a glimpse of intelligence however it makes this decision you may see say that oh it’s just doing some calculation yes our brains are also doing similar calculation but you can see that there is a glimpse of uh intelligence here. Okay. And uh another uh task which it is very good at in fact in our consulting we use uh quen 2.5 VL for u for document when whenever there’s a complex document parsing um and uh we have to use VLMs in that case u 2.5 VLM is our VLM of choice. So it’s very good at document parsing. You can in fact you know in this example you can uh say that okay convert this document into HTML format right that’s something but you can also say give me the summary of figure one right or what does figure 1 say right or where is this figure which does this right so you can have very complex uh document analysis that this thing does and it can also structure your document uh PDF especially it can structure your PDF extract information from the PDF very nicely. So if you’re thinking about building uh a document parser uh this may be uh a very good option. So um so this this is very interesting and then we uh it can also analyze videos. Okay. So this is a video u which uh where there you know they they want to localize particular events. So what’s happening? You can basically say uh put in uh this video and say that localize a series of active activity events in the video. Output this uh start and the time stamp for each um for each right. So let me show you. I think I’ll have to restart my sharing because it is on a different um uh it is on a go for right. We’ll make it work. Yeah. One second.
Let me share my entire screen instead of just Mhm. entire screen. I will share screen two. Share. Okay. So you can see that now, right? So in this video, right? After you give this prompt, it goes and says that okay, yep. At start time 21 seconds, a person removes a piece of meat from its packaging and cuts off the fat. So, okay, let me go to the video. Where is the video? Yeah, right here. So, let’s go to 21 seconds.
So, you can see at about 21 seconds, uh, let’s let’s start again. Sorry. So the person is removing 19 seconds the person is removing 21 seconds they removed it put it here and then they start cutting the meat right and the fat uh for my vegetarian friends uh I’m sorry u and for my uh non-vegetarian friends who are salivating I’m sorry as well uh but yeah so uh so basically it is able to identify uh various events in uh in the video, right? And it says that uh at at location 50, the person is seasoning the meat with salt and pepper. And if you go and look at about 50, let’s go here. So, it’s not actually salt and pepper. It’s uh oregano or some other u you can forgive it, right? At least it is a kind of spice that they are putting it on the on the on the meat. So these are the kinds of very sophisticated long video analysis that you can do with Quen. You don’t you don’t do much cooking, do you doc? Why is it salt and pepper?
Yeah, I’m just just wondering. Just wondering. Well, because I I’m not using the uh the correct language of cooking.
All right. So, uh video analysis, right? So it it does a very uh excellent video analysis. Now bear in mind that these results uh you will get this quality result if you’re using the biggest model right as the size of the model comes down you should pair down your expectation also. Okay um they uh it can also do sorry okay and it can also do agent action. Now in the context of VLMs uh agent usually means when you want to do something uh when you want to control your laptop screen or your mobile screen using uh using the outputs right you basically give it you take a screenshot of your laptop right um or your or your mobile uh screenshot give it to the VLM it will automatically figure out what the layout is and what you know what are the various ious apps you have and what are the various things going on and let’s say you start a browser it will know that oh you have you are in a browser just by looking at that image and it will be able to do the next task so you can say that oh make a reservation for me um at my favorite restaurant right whatever the restaurant is u so it will go uh to the browser it’s going to uh start the browser and then look for the favorite restaurant go near your location etc etc so that kind of thing is called agent action and uh this is able to do that as well. So uh okay so that’s let’s look at the usage right how do you actually use the VLM the quen 2.5 VL it is u you interact with it using a chat interface right the good thing is that you can chat with it several times you can give it the context um there are uh the chat looks like this right hopefully most people are familiar with uh JSON format right JSON is you know uh text format where uh you can you can pass structured data uh using this format. So here we first uh you know the chat interface looks something like this. Uh it is called chat.comp completion and we’ll see uh very specific examples. Uh you have the model you say okay I want this particular model and this model comes in many different flavors. This is a 7 billion model. You can also have the three billion uh parameter model and so on and so forth and you know based on how many parameters it has the quality will be different. Then we this is the crux right the main thing is the message that you’re going to pass to uh to Quen. There are two kinds uh of messages actually there are three kinds of messages but uh let’s let’s for for this we can just focus on uh one or two. So the first one is called the system right the system prompt is uh telling it at a high level what it is right it’s giving it an identity that you are an a helpful assistant right um and this is the kind of me the kinds of things you put in the system prompt is something that you would ask again and again. Okay. So, uh for example, when we do object detection, the system prompt could be you are uh you are an object detector that returns the response in a JSON format and then you can uh you can you can say what the format is the bounding box format etc. So once you set these things in the system prompt you don’t have to go and change uh say that again and again in the user prompt right. So user prompt is usually reserved for things that you want to get done immediately. Right? So the system gives it an identity and the user prompt is telling you know it is requesting that I want uh something done. So here you can see that the user prompt we are passing in an image URL and there are different types also the content that uh gets passed uh it can be an array of different things and you can you can this array could be many different sizes right you can pass in one image two images multiple images in any uh any sequence you want okay uh but uh when you’re passing image you can pass it an image URL and then you can also pass in a text. Okay. U so here you can say that okay this is the URL and all I want to know is what’s inside the image. So what is the text in this image? So you can send like that. You can see how simple the user interface is right using just this prompt right uh you can you can uh make it work. No other knowledge is required. So system as I had mentioned that it sets global behavior right and uh you you say things like you are an assistant that answers briefly returns currency in USD right let’s say you are doing receipt analysis right you got a receipt and uh you want to uh even if it is uh let’s say um a Japanese receipt you want the output to be in USD format right uh dollar format you can tell it in the beginning and it knows right then the system prompt sets the stage it gives it an identity and then you can say that users and uses JSON where a user asks for structured data. So um here’s another example of user right I already mentioned what it does so we’ll we’ll just uh skip over it but in case of the receipt example you can pass in the receipt and say how much did the latte cost give the answer as JSON this is not required because we have already put it in uh the uh system prompt uh but it doesn’t hurt if you’re asking the same thing uh again and it will give you the answer even if the receipt is Japanese. It is going to give you the answer in USD. Right? So very simple, right? You don’t you didn’t train the model. You didn’t do anything. This you took this model and uh just passed a prompt and it is give you able to give you an answer. And you can do this right today with uh you know uh on on your laptop uh as long as it has u enough uh GPU. I mean it will still work but it may be slow if you do not have a GPU but you can definitely do it in Google Collab and I’ll show you uh how it is done. Okay. So model card maybe maybe send the prompt to go go make a sandwich go get a some coffee or something when you come back it’ll be done right. Uh so uh this is you know a 3.5 3 billion parameter the uh model that we are going to show in our demo. It is a three billion parameter model and it is multimodal. Whenever people talk about multimodal in uh in in AI models it just means that it is capable of taking more than text right so text plus image or video that’s multimodal as well right and if it sometimes uh you know more sophisticated models would take in speech as well. So that’s uh truly multimodal uh produced by Alibaba uh cloud team which is also called the Quen team. The quen uh license uh you have to be a little careful about it is uh you know it’s a research license for non-commercial uh purposes u and the 3 billion and the 72 billion uh sizes they are not Apache 2 right but if you want to research it you want to um you can use it for a lot of things right uh when when you’re building a model to understand the model so that’s that’s good all Right. Uh and the weights are open source, right? So which means that you can actually use it in your uh notebooks etc. Now let’s start with image captioning. You you guys are able to see this um screen, right?
Um it should be showing a notebook now. See the we see the uh Google collab notebook. All right. Perfect. So let’s uh start with one example, right? We will start with um let me make sure that I I have finished. Yeah. Oh no, I had not finished the Okay, sorry. Uh let’s let’s keep going. Um one of the things that people may be thinking whether whether it will fit in your uh in your GPU or not. So quen 2.5 VL 3 billion right this is going to take about 3.5 to 7 billion um you know uh sorry 3.5 to 7GB which means that an RTX 3050 should be enough and you know the slides will show you um all the different categories that it will you know if you’re using a bigger model you basically need a GPU with a bigger memory. uh this these slides and everything right all this information is in our uh free VLM boot camp as well right so these slides are there you can register for our free VLM boot camp just search for opencv VLM boot camp and you will uh you will find uh this all this uh you know you can register for the free course and you should be able to uh start it or you can scan the QR code that’s up on your screen right now if you’re watching this show live and find it on the OpenCV universe city homepage navigation.
Yeah. Yeah. In the interest of time, actually I’m uh let me just uh skip some of this very quickly. It can do image captioning, object detection, we’ll see this as well. Universal recognition, which we saw an example of again, object detection, different type. So, uh we have pretty much covered this. Okay. Um okay. So, let’s uh let’s go look at image captioning. Here we are going to use a Google Collab and I’m going to use a 2.5 uh you know uh so if you’re using Google Collab for best results right you can go here and check what is the runtime you’re using so the runtime if you’re using uh collab pro plus or collab pro you will notice that uh you have a GPU option right A100 is the most powerful GPU GPU here uh followed Why I’m guessing I uh I always get confused between the two. I think u the T4 is the second powerful and L4 is the uh the least one but you need to use you should use a GPU if you have access to it otherwise things will be slower right so you can uh go and use this runtime. Uh another thing about collabs or any notebook in general is usually you know many people don’t use this feature. There is uh this table of content if the notebook is prepared properly which in our case uh we take great care to prepare the notebook. Uh you will see this table of content uh on the side which makes it very easy to go and uh navigate the notebook. All right. So the very first thing we need to do is install um Quenv utilities. Right. So we pip install this and uh we should be uh good. Uh one other thing is that 2.5 VL it’s going to fit in uh it it consumes about 6 GB of RAM in float 16 format and uh I’ll show you how uh to use it in float 16 format as well. Uh so you know most GPUs 3090 and above should be able to handle this. We start with uh standard imports. uh not going over these. Most of the people on this webinar should be a uh should should know most of these right. Uh the only thing of interest which can be new to you is uh we are importing right the transformers. So transformers is this library by hugging face which is an excellent uh package for Python package which has access you know using this you have access to pretty much all the you know large language models regular models all kinds of models uh in this in this package uh and it’s very nicely done so that you don’t have to do repetitive tasks again and again u all the things all the gotcha things where uh you suppose you did not do the right pre-processing etc is taken care for you. It does under the hood uh it does a very good job. So from there we are going to get uh this uh quen uh 2.5 VL conditional generation and uh we are you know this is a package we are importing and also autoprocessor. Now autoprocessor basically does um pre-processing. Let’s say you have text. The text you know large language model is not going to take text as input. So you need to tokenize it and then send it to u uh the large language model. Now tokenization as we had covered it in the previous uh previous episode while discussing clip it is basically converting uh text to a numerical representation. A token is roughly speaking roughly speaking it’s a word. Okay. So you can pass uh if you have a string you can convert it to numerical values for pretty much every word you will get one number and that process is called tokenization. Now you don’t have to do it because you have the autoprocessor which will do it for you. All right. And then we have you know standard imaging and visualization. And then we uh this one is the important one. uh we want to download quenv utils and we get the process vision info. So this basically does the post-processing uh uh this basically does the post-processing of the model. The model output may not be uh in the format that you want because um you know so so we can do some post-processing on this to clean up. All right. So the very first thing we need to do is uh we need to set the device. If if a GPU is available then we use the GPU and CUDA basically is u if you it’s specifically Nvidia GPU. CUDA is the library that uh is run on Nvidia GPUs and when whenever we want to refer to Nvidia GPUs we say CUDA right and if CUDA is not available if an Nvidia GPU is not available then use the CPU. Okay. Um and then we uh basically tell the model id this is you know 2.5 e 3 billion uh instruct uh for people who do not know whenever there is uh a model has the name instruct in it means that it is uh it is a chat-like interface right you can interact with the model in uh in a chat format. If the instruct is not there in uh a large language model, it means that it is a raw model, right? It is u most of the time you would not download those models. Those are for researchers who want to use the raw output and not uh this additional instruct model. Okay. Then we set up the model. We extract the model using this uh quen 2.5 for conditional generation dot from pre-trained. So look at this. how easy things are these days, right? You basically can extract this model uh by all the tools available. So you give it the model ID. Not only that, you also say that um I want to automatically figure out um what kind of data type this model should be in. Usually when you get the model that would be in float 32 format, right? But you don’t want uh things in float 32 uh because there are float 16 FP16 which will run much faster on the GPU without much loss in uh accuracy right and when you see auto it knows okay uh FP16 works very well on GPUs but pretty much you know you won’t see much uh much in in CPUs right basically it gets converted if you even if you have an FP16 uh data type for CPUs it gets converted ed to FP32. Uh so so this one does a good job of already downloading the model u in in the right format right in the FP16 model format if you have a GPU uh it also there is something called device map when you have multiple devices or the model is very large it uh first tries to use the GPU and if it cannot fit all the layers in the GPU it can use the CPU etc also so uh you just set it to auto so that it uh does the best job uh with the available hardware then we need the uh uh processor as I said that you need to do some pre-processing and u again you know the the syntax is so easy sometimes I feel that everything has been made so easy for um for the next generation uh how will they know what it takes to write write difficult code uh but anyways so you get the processor uh out and We will use this processor to prep-process the data before sending it to the model. And finally uh when you do model device, it does everything needed. It downloads the model as well as sends it to the device. Right? So this model needs to reside on the GPU. Um and and it does all of that thing. Um and you can see here uh it is downloading. Oops. So it’s uh it’s downloading all these models. uh not this model, sorry, all these files which are part of the same model. And here you can see that um there are you know uh there are two files model 0 uh 01 uhsafe tensors and 02.safe tensors and it is going to download both of them and use it in the load it in the right format. You don’t have to worry about uh any of this uh how how exactly it is done. Okay. Next we are ready to upload an image to this model and do some inference right we are uh we want to do image captioning. So we get an image uh this is we are downloading it from the URL and here we are opening the image and for for people uh this you know if you have programmed in Python this may must be familiar code we basically request basically downloads it’s used to download the URL but this downloaded uh you know data is not in the right format it it doesn’t look like a file system to the uh to the image uh you know uh opener So this io.bbyte uh bytes io basically it makes the data look like a file system as if you’re uploading from the if you’re loading the image from the file system and you can o open the image after you open the image. Shout out to the uh Python request library. One of the most useful libraries I think in in all of Pythonom. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s that’s absolutely true. Uh yeah. So you can download it in one line of code. Oh, one one other thing that we are doing right here is converting it to RGB format automatically so that um so that you you’re not um you know uh you don’t have you don’t get the image in BGR format and then you have to do it again right um okay so this is the image we have uh downloaded and we want to caption this image now as I me mentioned we have to create a message right and here we don’t even need the system prompt Right? We can just use it’s a simple problem. Uh we don’t even need to provide any system prompt and everything can be done using the user prompt. So message we assign a role to it which is user and the content we want to pass in the image and we want to pass in the text describe this image. That is it right? You uh that’s that’s what a caption is. It’s a description of the image. So we are instructing it to uh describe the image. Now let’s see uh you know um h oh yeah oh so this is sorry I was trying to think why did I write this code twice. This is part of the uh markdown and this is the actual code. Uh so you run this you store this in messages. And now uh now let’s let’s look at what the chat template looks like right u the a chat template is basically we have written everything in JSON format but this format is not something u the model recognizes u it it has a particular chat uh template right and we have to use this uh chat template and the template has things like right when it sees uh in the template it uh in the string it sees image start ro content etc. So you need to send it in this format. Um fortunately we don’t need to uh you know construct this manually. But just to give you an idea uh the JSON format that we created is not the one that would be used uh by the model. So we need to we need to change the format. Uh we still want to input in JSON format because that’s convenient but we want some code that will automatically change it. Right? So you can see here uh we do processor and processor has everything done for you right you don’t have to um you don’t have to worry about it and the the fun part with this proc processor is that when you you basically get it automatically right based on the on the model that you have specified. Uh so when you’re using transformer package you can pretty much use the processor in similar ways without knowing uh exactly how it is doing things right. So it’s very consistently done. So you apply the chat chat template we you pass in the uh message you say tok to tokenize is false and the reason we don’t want to tokenize it right now is in the next I I’ll show you in the next uh you know when we actually send it uh we we’ll turn on tokenization but for now we don’t want to show turn on tokenization I want to see if we if you turn on to tokenization we won’t be able to print these things would all look like numbers okay um add generation prompt right what is the generation prompt that also uh will be added and we are going to print it right. So you can see that image start system you are a helpful assistant. We did not explicitly say it but there is a system prompt which uh it automatically appends it. It knows that okay you did not put in the system prompt. I’m going to put in the system prompt myself. Okay. And then we have uh this next one which says uh you know describe the image. So we are uh sending all this information. So this you know you don’t need to know exactly what is the chat template. Um it may be useful for debugging if you have special characters or something can go wrong. Uh but most of the time you’re working with this kind of a JSON uh message. But it’s good to know that this is the input uh that uh that the model is expecting. Okay. Uh so now we have uh you know the uh basically we are using process vision info. This is a utility that basically if you look at the comment it says it walks through every message. It finds all the instances of image and video and then it applies uh quen visual pre-processing to ensure that the image is in the right format that pilimage uh uh format and then it returns two parallel lists right and uh of image inputs video inputs and then uh also you know u it pre-processes both the text as well as the image oh sorry this one is it pre-processes only the vision part Right. So uh you get image inputs and video inputs. It extracts from the message that you had created. And finally we are ready. Right. Uh we are going to pass in this is the input that is going to go to the model. Uh so we use the uh processor. We get the text prompt. Right? So this one is uh basically the reason for these brackets is that it’s a one element right? It is only one text prompt that we are sending. And then we have the image inputs. We send in the video inputs. Uh padding don’t worry about it. You know, set the padding to true. Right? It basically u yeah let me let me skip this thing. Uh set the padding to true. It is some uh little detail that uh it’s not very important here. And then we have uh return tensor in pt. So transformer it’s a python package and it will work with uh tensorflow as well uh as well. So we have to explicitly tell it to use uh pytorch right. So the tensors that it returns should be in pytorch format. Uh for people who are familiar with tens uh you know uh tensorflow you would know and and pytorch both you would know that the two formats are slightly different right. uh the in in in PyTorch the bat size comes first. The first element is the bat size followed by the number of colors followed by uh the width and height. Uh in TensorFlow the format is slightly different. Uh I cannot remember exactly. I have not used TensorFlow for a while but uh I think the uh it is height width and then channel and then finally the bat size. I cannot I I may be wrong on that. All right. So uh now we want to use okay once you have done this right this input you’re passing it to the model right uh to the device sorry and uh this device we have already set to GPU etc. So we had already passed the we had already transferred our model uh to the device but here we are going to pass the input we are going to uh push the input. Um next we have torch.nograd No grad whenever you’re using in PyTorch whenever we are using some sort of um whenever we want to use inference right we the model we want to make sure that the model is not um not generating all the gradients. So to make things faster this narrat is used uh otherwise it’s going to calculate the gradients and gradient calculation is necessary when you’re doing training but during inference when you’re just using the model that calculation is not necessary and it can unnecessarily slow down the model and uh so basically you uh you wrap it in torch.nograd and say model.generate generate and you pass in the inputs and you also say max new tokens is 64. So this gives you a sense of uh you know uh this caps the output to 64 tokens. Okay. Um so the caption would be you can say roughly 64 words maximum. Now just to give you an idea what these tokens look like, we can do inputs. Uh if you look at these input id zero, this is the token, right? Uh these numbers are basically tokens. Okay? And you will see um so they are they are fixed length tokens which means that after if they have used all the tokens they will start padding it, right? The padding equals true is basically it says that pad uh with with the with the same value which represents the end of the string uh if so that the length is the same. Okay. Um so okay so this this is just the input and now uh we are going to do batch decode right we uh the the output that we get right the generated ids that we get it is not in a format that we can read. So we want to convert this um we want to convert this to a caption that we can actually read. Okay. And uh you know there could be some special tokens that we want to skip. And if you look at this uh after all this thing is done uh and we are printing this this is the output you receive. The image depicts a serene and picture picturesque scene of a white dog sitting on a stone pathway near a stunning lake. The lake has crystal clear you know uh sounds very reasonable. So you can see uh very few lines of code and you are able to do something as sophisticated as image captioning. I was planning to go over the object detection notebook as well but I think we are uh we are running um running short short on time so we will skip that. But if you register for this course, you will be able to uh see the object detection notebook also. We cover that in the free course. So uh just do a Google search on u on opencv.org. Uh Google search on opencvl boot camp and you should be able to get it. Maybe if people really want it, we’ll do a whole we’ll do a whole episode on that. Uh yeah, that’s another option. are really interested, send it send an email to [email protected] and request it. Yeah. Um, all right. So, let me stop sharing my screen.
If anybody uh purchased the course in the last uh you know during this hour, please send us an email at coursesopencv.org. org so that we can send you uh the additional free gift which is a book by Francois uh deep learning by Python. It is not included in the current um thing you have. Uh I also want to say you know we also have a webinar um that we will do on uh let me share my screen. So we are running this um on the last day of our um on the last day of our um of this you know uh this event uh this sale event we will have uh this webinar that starts uh at 5:00 p.m. specific time and we will go over you know what the courses are everything we will go over this and you will also learn you know why why should you do uh computer vision now all sorts of things so sign up for this webinar at opencv.org/weinar org/webinar uh and uh you know uh this is the last day of the sale event. So we will basically be there for as long as it is necessary for to answer all the questions. Right. So uh yeah 5:00 p.m. Pacific time September 2nd 2025 uh sign up for this webinar. I’ll be there for uh I plan to be there till the end of uh the sale event which is midnight Pacific time. So we’ll start at 5:00 p p.m. Pacific time. Uh I’ll be there throughout we will be talking about many different things you know how to start a career but also about uh various other things right how do you actually do um how do you actually in in a real world scenario how do you go from uh various steps right model deployment this and that. So many of these things we will cover in those uh in that um in that webinar as well. So opencv.org/webinar.
Yes. And sign up. Um these things are free folks. It’s it’s amazing that they’re still free. Maybe uh Satia will start charging for these at some point. But that that day has not yet arrived. Um yeah and full disclosure full disclosure uh you know this uh this is the last day of u the sale right so there will be selling involved right there is information involved but there is also selling involved um I’m uh I just want to be upfront that it is not uh this kind of webinar which is only educational there it is educational plus selling uh you have been warned Hey, you know, we we try to be honest with you folks out there. So, uh, and speaking of honesty and speaking of free stuff, I think now is a great time to do our giveaway. So, I’m going to go ahead and in fact bring our chat up on the stream here. Um, so, uh, unfortunately I can’t put our Zoom chat up on the screen, but I am monitoring it in a separate window. Um, okay. So, the way this works is I’m going to ask a trivia question based on today’s presentation and the very first person to answer that question correctly in the chat either on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, um, or on Zoom. Also, Satia, there’s a there’s a typo in your in your link there. Um, says webinar, not webinar.
Um the winner. Thanks for that chat. I appreciate it. Yeah. Um we will uh so the the way this works is I’m gonna ask a trivia question based on today’s presentation and the very first person to answer that correctly will win the OpenCV university course of their choosing. You can go to opencv.org/university
to see what courses are on offer. or you can scan the QR code that I’ve just put up on the screen right under our faces here if you’re watching on the live stream. Transform your career with computer vision deep learning and OpenCV courses at OpenCV University. Go ahead and scan that QR code. I’m going to remove the chat here for a moment and uh talk a little bit about our sponsors for today’s episode. But today’s episode is brought to you by OpenCV University as uh Doc talked about a little bit earlier. Um there is in fact a fantastic sale going on on OpenCVU. Um you can go to opencv.org/university
to get the Labor Day sale for just 17 hours 22 minutes and 52 seconds longer using code labor 40. That’s labor 40 for 40% off all OpenCV programs and courses. That is a huge chunk of savings. Don’t miss out on it. That’s opencv.org/university.
This episode is al also brought to you by and partners. OpenCV is a nonprofit organization that puts out free open-source software and as such we depend on the support of organizations just like the ones on your screen right now. Big shout outs to ARM, Qualcomm, RunPod, Intrinsic, Futureway, Jet Brains, Rooflow, Haxter, Seven Sense, Google Summer of Code, Open M, our newest bronze member, Orbic, Tang Vision, AMP Software, Intuitivo, Rerun.io, the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, and Big Vision.

Is also supported by our sponsors on GitHub. By the way, your screeners, we got 14 of them right now. What’s that? Sorry, the screen. Yeah, we’re having some local internet slowness here. It’s We’ll figure it out. Um, yes. So, uh, we’re also supported by our GitHub sponsors. You can go to github.com/sponsors/opencv
and be as cool as Christopher. Uh, man, this is this to me looks like maybe a Polish name. I don’t know if I can do this one. Piraski. Um, we’ve got DJ. We got Tegan Burns. We’ve got Live Pier. We’ve got the homies at Rooflow, double supporters of Open CV. Jesus Anna, DJ Greenwood, IPOP.AI, we’ll have to have them back on the show sometime soon. Comet ML,
Jonas Heinla, Alexander Ismolof, Tala Hussein, Nick Libertini, Blue J, and Ruters Laboratories. We’re also brought to you today by OpenCV’s official merch shop on at opencv.mmyspreadshop.com. We recently slashed prices on everything on the shop. It is now about 50% what it cost just a few weeks ago. For example, iconic statement um on a shirt if the page for me. We’ll we’ll see. We’ll see. $3 versus was about the the 40 that we had it set as last time. Our thinking with this this was, you know, if you want an open CV shirt, you really want for the import CV2 shirt on a very comfortable 100%. You’ve also got the open
clothing also tote bags, pins, fridge magnets. I love OpenCV in English simplified Chinese and an espanol yoamo. Uh OpenCV. Uh you can buy these things at once again opencv.mmyspreadshop.com or you can scan the QR code that I just put up on the screen. 23 bucks for a pretty sweet Open CV t-shirt. Um, since we dropped the prizes earlier this week, we’ve actually sold uh twice as many shirts in the last week than we sold in the last year. So, uh, feeling pretty good about it. Feeling pretty good about it. Really? Yeah. Okay. Well, uh, if you if you drop the price by this much, I think we are definitely not getting any donations really. But it is for open season. Yeah. You know, I mean, it’s it’s promo, right? I think I think at this point inside baseball I think we make about five bucks a shirt or something like that. So, you know, it’s not it’s not that it’s not that much, but it it is it is cool to see people like at your CVPRs or these conferences we go to wearing OpenCV gear. So, buy a shirt. Uh you are supporting OpenCV in your in your small way. Um and we really do appreciate all of these ways for folks to donate. Um before the end of this year, we will also produce um an OpenCV 25 year limited edition t-shirt. So stay tuned for that. Yeah. Or possibly even a challenge coin if you’re into that. Um we we were just talking about this. But okay, uh it is now time for the trivia giveaway. First person to answer in the chat wins the prize. Um, somebody in on YouTube already tried to answer the question before I asked it. Um, bad news. You’re wrong. But, uh, I appreciate your gumption. I really do. Um, I think, uh, uh, you know, trying to get in my head is is is not easy. Oh, wow. Somebody just said they’re buying 10 shirts for their staff at work. Hell yeah. Oh, wow. Thank you so much. Um, thank you, Carlos. We really appreciate that. Um, so we have talked about Quen uh 2.5BL today. Uh, if you’ve won in the last couple of months, please do not answer and give someone else a chance to win. By the way, uh, if you’re answering on Zoom, everyone, and not just hosts and panelists, if you’re watching anywhere else, just post it in the chat. Um, I’ve got both of these windows up right now. We’ve talked a lot about Quen 2.5VL today. in 2.5VL release. What month and year both parts of the answer to win here today?
You got me. Oh, you’re close, Lawrence. I think this is the first time you got me. I don’t know exact. Oh, hey, we got it. It looks like uh look looking here. I see uh Pom Pomudu Pamudu over on Zoom. uh just answered
January. That is indeed correct was uh January 28 official Alibaba blog. Um so congratulations. I know we’re having a little bit of sorry folks. Um but the good news is the laggginess applies to everybody. Zoom is getting the same lag as YouTube. We’re getting the same lag as Twitch. Um, and so, you know, it is what it is. Um, but yes, some of you folks out there also got the right answer. Um, Pamudu is our winner for this week’s trivia giveaway. Please go to opencv.org/university.
Pick out a course, send me an email that’s philopc.org
with the name of the course that you would like and we will make sure you get that added to your OpenCVU dashboard. Congratulations, Pamudu. We’ve got a few questions here, Doc, while we uh before we wrap up here. Um we got somebody asks, “Can you send t-shirts overseas to Angola?” I don’t know about Angola specifically, but if you go to the opencv.mmyspreadshop.com
and add something to your cart, it’ll have a list in the checkout of the of countries they do ship to. And I know it it’s it ships pretty fairly like almost all over the world where it’s that’s like possible to get stuff into basic basically uh without without you know grease and some palms as we as we’ve talked about on this show over the years. So uh thanks for your interest and uh hopefully we can get you a shirt. Um got a couple of questions here saved. Let me go ahead and I’m going to drop off my face so Doc can answer some of these questions himself here. Um, here’s a good one from earlier in the stream from uh from Shan. What are some common mistakes if an image is not classifying correctly and how can we fix them? Well, so uh if it is not a VLM, right? In a VLM, you can use a better prompt, right? So, you can say that let’s say uh it doesn’t happen uh but let’s say uh a simple example, right? uh let’s say it gets uh confused between uh between a dog and a wolf, right? Then uh you would run your you know the prompt you would change that pay special attention right to u dogs and wolves right so most of the things with uh you want to first use prompt engineering to get uh this image classifier if you’re using a VLM right if you’re using a VLM uh it is tricky because this is a large uh large model right you don’t want to jump into finetuning immediately uh so you want to do something using prompt engineering as much as you can. So you would give extra prompts for classes it is trying it it is getting mclassified with saying that pay special attention or you know uh make sure that you don’t do this uh do that. So it does uh those kind of prompting does affect the final output. Uh but you can also fine-tune the model uh to give better results. Right? So you can add image caption pairs to improve the quality uh of the output. But in standard image classification, right, the best way is to just fine-tune the model, right? Because those are not difficult to fine-tune. They’re they’re pretty uh easy to fine-tune. Just wherever it’s getting confused, let’s say it is getting confused between dogs and wolves. Take those examples, the hard examples, this is called hard negative mining. So you take the hard examples and put it in the training set and fine-tune, right? It’s as simple as that. find all the hard examples where the mis mclassification is happening and then uh fine-tune the model again and that pretty much fixes the problem most of the time.
So the in if you’re using standard image classification network the mistake you have made is that your training data is not rich enough right so you basically uh fix your training data
Phil,
where’s Phil?
Sorry guys, we are having some uh technical issues today because of uh uh because of the network.
Oh, let me see if I can I can find some questions.
All right. Uh can we okay says can we please have a session on quen image edit 2 point taken uh we’ll we’ll see we uh when we can fit that in. So we uh basically we have uh a very packed schedule for the next few weeks. So whenever we have some uh you know guest drop off or something happens then we we modify that uh session to a tutorial session. But uh that’s a that’s a uh you know I’ll I’ll look into it how much time it takes to fit that in and if it is in a one in 1 hour we can fit that in we’ll definitely try to do that. That’s a good request. Thank you.
All right. So I’m not sure what’s uh going on. uh right now with the with the network issue. So uh but we are close to uh you know our program already and I have a hard uh stop in just a few minutes. So uh let me conclude this uh show um and and thank you Phil as I said that if anything goes wrong it is his uh it is uh you know Phil organizes this show and if anything goes wrong today it came true finally. Oh, you’re back. Um, for some reason it it put my screen up as well. I don’t know why it did that. Um, yeah. Sorry about that, folks. We we had a uh a a total internet dropout here um in uh in in Tijuana. So, I think it’s it might be because it’s raining a little bit out there. Anyway, um thank you. Uh yeah, Camille. Um maybe we will have a a Quen image edit tutorial here. I’m pulling up the chat. I think we had we had at least one more good Unfortunately, we just lost Zoom. Sorry, folks. Um, yeah, I think we’re we’re just fizzling out here. It’s okay. I think uh we can conclude today’s session and uh the questions we can answer by email.
Son of a [ __ ] You’re Phil, you’re online.
All right. So, uh, Phil thinks that he is offline. Uh, but we are online and, uh, so I I just want to thank everybody who is here today for this uh, for this webinar. Thank you so much. And uh also our sale is going on. If you’re interested in the OpenC CV University courses which are your guide to become an AI engineer, please uh join today. This is one of the best deals you can find. And if you purchased a course a program during this webinar, please send us an email at coursesopencv.org and we will be able to uh you’ll you’ll receive the free book. All right. Uh that’s it. Thank you so much. Uh thank you guys. U I’m uh we have to conclude this because and unfortunately Phil is not here because of network issues but we’ll see you next week.

NVDA Earnings, Core PCE & GDP
Hey yo, what’s up everybody? What’s going on folks? Welcome to the True Training Group live stream. Hope you all had a fantastic and wonderful weekend. I know a large majority of our TG family certainly did because Adam and I just wrapped up a two-day boot camp for members of True Trading Group. regardless of your membership type. It was free and we covered how to incorporate AI into real time trading decisions. It was an unbelievable boot camp. I had a wonderful time this weekend with each and every single one of you. I hope everybody feels more prepared to tackle the week ahead and it is going to be a big week indeed. The markets are at all-time highs and we have none other than Nvidia earnings on deck. On top of the earnings, we have PCE inflation data on deck. This comes right after Jerome Pal’s doubbish pivot at the Jackson Hall meeting on Friday that caused that big green candle that you guys see on my screen. So, the doubbish pivot from the Fed signaling that they’re ready to cut rates at the September Fed meeting. Is it too little, too late, or is it just in time? That’s what we’re going to talk about here on this live stream. I got some trade ideas of how I plan on making money this week. Yes, I’ll give you my thoughts and insight on Nvidia earnings. We also have CrowdStrike earnings. We have Snowflake earnings. I am shareholders of all three of those in my long-term portfolio. So, we’re going to touch and hit on each and every single one and talk about some levels that we can look for. Maybe some dip buys if earnings aren’t that great or where do we think these stocks can trade to if they get a positive reaction following that earnings report. Now, I don’t try to predict earnings. It’s not what I do. I’m not going to take a long or a short position going into the earnings print and just close my eyes and just say a couple of prayers and hope things go well. I’m going to trade my way through the this entire week. Wednesday after the close are those earnings. I will not have positions in Nvidia Crowd Strike or Snowflake from a trading perspective. I will hold in my long-term portfolio, but my trading account will not have positions on those names going into the earnings print. Following the earnings, we will then trade them most likely Thursday and Friday. Okay, so that’s what we’re going to hit on here. We’re going to talk about today on this live stream. Folks, welcome. My name is Michael Edward Paronati. I go by Michael Edward. I’m the co-founder and head trader at True Trading Group. I’m thrilled to have you guys here with us tonight. You have to understand that True Training Group literally exists to help you guys learn faster, trade smarter, and to profit sooner. That’s exactly what we’re going to do here on this live stream.

We are going back for some more awards here in 2025. We are so thrilled and excited about the way that this product has been developing. Um, it’s just been unbelievable. It really has. It’s really just been absolutely unbelievable. Okay. All right, folks. So, um, enough of the kind of intro and get ready to roll our sleeves up tonight. We got some great content. I got some great trade ideas. I think that we’re going to, you know, do really well for us here coming into this week. If this is your first time hanging out with us on this YouTube channel, I want you guys to just do yourself a quick favor. Subscribe, okay? Subscribe to the channel. I do these lives throughout the week. We cover them every single Sunday. I don’t talk about what happened previously. I mean, I do talk about it, but really the whole goal here of this live stream is to tell you what I think is going to happen this week. I’m going to tell you exactly what positions that I’m already in and what positions I plan on getting into, prices I’m going to be getting in, what I think stocks and individual and the markets are going to do. So, I’m not a Monday morning quarterback, okay? Make sure you subscribe, turn on your notifications so you never miss out on any of these live streams. I’m dropping golden nuggets, free lessons, education, trade ideas, market commentary, and analysis. I can help you guys become better traders, help you guys make money hopefully as early as this week. Now, you might be wondering though, well, really, who am I and why should you listen to what it is that I discuss on this channel? It’s not because I think I’m the world’s greatest trader. I think you should pay attention to my talk about on the stream is because I’ve been doing this now almost two decades and I began my trading career working at T3 Alpha Fund in New York City. It’s my first job right out of college. Okay. While there, the fund had me go through a training program before they let me touch $1 of the firm’s money. I was trained by professionals working on Wall Street. That’s how I got my start with trading. I really didn’t know what I was doing prior to that. I wasn’t in my dorm room trading bull flag breakouts or memes meme stock media or anything like that. I got my start my first job right out of college. And then shortly after 2008 happened and that was the great recession. That was the huge stock market crash. But that was also the same year that I received one of the firm’s trader of the year awards. Now you fast forward. I’m the co-founder and head trader at True Trading Group along with my team of eight other professional full-time trading moderators and an over 30 person staff. We have helped thousands of members from all over the world reach our goals. True Trading Group has over 10,000 members in 114 different countries. Truly a global community here at TTG. Okay, so like I said, if you guys are brand new, smash that like button, show some love, subscribe, and most importantly, make sure you’re watching this video live. You should see a red dot next to the word live down there in the bottom lefthand corner. Okay, if you do not see a red dot, that means you’re watching this video delayed. Okay, so you want to make sure that you are watching this video live. You should see a red dot next to the word live. And then you folks will know that you are ready to go and that we’re ready to kick some ass and take some names. Right. Excellent. So, now that you’re subscribed, now that you showed some love, I’m about to show you a whole bunch of love right back. But now that you’re also watching this video live, it’s time for us to get down to business. We had a pivot from Jerome Pal last week. The drone pal last week at the Jackson Hall meeting sounded very different from the drone pal that we got at the previous Fed meeting that we had in July. The Fed meeting we had in July, the Fed signaled that they really weren’t ready to cut rates um and they were pretty concerned about inflation still. Uh drone pound made some comments saying he thinks that we’re going to see um continued inflationary impacts from the tariffs throughout the summer was the exact phrase that he used. That was at the July meeting. He made some comments about the labor market being strong and stable at the July meeting. And then two days after that, we got the US labor report with severe downward revisions. That’s what caused this big gap down that you guys see on my screen. That big gap down that you see on my screen was because of that shock of the US labor report coming in weaker than what was expected. But that got people thinking that the Fed was going to get ready to cut rates. And we were unsure about what was going to happen because there was no Fed meeting in August. There’s one in September. But we did have the Jackson Hole symposium, the Jackson Hole meeting where the chairman of the Fed, okay, every year goes through and gives a speech on economic conditions, monetary policy, and has historically been seen as in the past and continuing here now today and will continue into the future continue to be an opportunity for a Fed chair to potentially signal to the markets any type of shift in monetary policy. That is exactly what Jerome Pal did this time around. Jerome Pal signaled that they are ready to cut rates in September. Um he changed his tone a little bit about worrying about inflationary impacts over the summer. He said that he believes and the Federal Reserve believes that inflationary impact from tariffs will be short-lived. He did think he did say that he does expect to see more price pressures from the tariffs over the next couple of months, but believes that it will not be a longlasting or any type of a situation that’s going to cause an unanchoring in inflation expectations. Now, that part is extremely important because that tells you that they’re really ready to cut rates. And I have been saying, if you’ve been following this live stream for a while, I’ve been saying since day one, since we found out about these tariffs and then the market, you know, threw up all over itself in April, we were aggressively buying during that April selloff. Okay, we were aggressively buying during that April selloff. I was actually on this very same YouTube channel on April 6th and I said right here, this the exact same time just a couple of months ago. And I told everybody on this live stream that I’m going to be buying everything I can get my hands on on Monday. And that was April 6th was the live stream. April 7th was the day that I was going to be aggressively buying. We did that inside of True Training Group. All my members inside of TTG, all of my members that are here with me today on this live stream, if you guys stepped in and you were buyers of your long-term portfolio with myself and True Trading Group there in April, I want you to go ahead right now and type the number one inside of chat. Because if someone here is watching this video for the first time or maybe you weren’t watching the YouTube channel back in April, I don’t want you to think I’m just pointing to look in the past and say, “Oo, look at what we did with no proof.” So, we have members that are here with us tonight. We have people that were on that live stream on April 6th and I made the announcement that I’m buying everything I can get my hands on on that Monday. That Monday, April 7th, ended up being the low of the pullback and we have since rocketed to new all-time highs. A lot of the stocks that we bought at that time up over 100% in just a matter of a couple of months. It’s actually been quite a ridiculous rally off of that April low. such an incredible rally that it almost makes me feel a little bit cautious of just how far some of these stocks have really run in such an incredibly short period of time. But that’s the beauty of of of buying. When everybody else is panicking and freaking out, that’s when the opportunities are the most abundant. When you guys feel like it’s the absolute worst time to be buying, that is when typically, you know, you’re getting really good prices. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to be the low, the all-time low, the all like it might go lower. I didn’t buy on April 7th knowing that this is the low. I didn’t call the low. I don’t want you to think I came on here on April 6th and I was like, listen to me carefully. Tomorrow is going to be the low. That’s not what I did. But April 7th, when the spy got into the 480s, that was a massive buy zone. There were multiple buy triggers on multiple different technical indicators on multiple different long type of strategy setups that tell you to buy when we reach the 480s. Now, I’m not going to get into all that. I can spend the next hour and a half talking to you about what those signals and what those indicators were and what those strategies are. But you talk to any type of chartist, any type of technician, there were so many green lights at that at that price point. That’s why I stepped in and I started buying. It just so happens to be that two days later we got the walk back of the tariffs. The markets exploded and we’ve never looked back. I didn’t know that that was going to be the low, but history and like two decades of doing this and the wonderful help of our AI product of Mari gave me the confidence and the wherewithal that I needed to say that this is a beautiful and a wonderful opportunity for us to step in the long-term portfolio and to be buying. And that’s what we did. So, big shout out and big congratulations to everyone that is is part of True Training Group that stepped in and bought some of those stocks that we bought during that time. And now here we sit at all-time highs as the futures market open up and we’re flat. Futures are flat right now on the ES. We’re just sitting here. Okay, we’re just sitting here, right? So, right now futures are just kind of quiet. But that is what we do here guys inside of True Trading Group. It’s not just about day trading. It’s not just about swing trading. It’s not just, you know, it’s not just about stocks. It’s not just about options. We cover long-term portfolio stuff inside TTG. We trade, we day trade, we swing trade, we trade stocks, we trade options, we trade futures, you name it. We trade, we trade crypto, right? Ethereum has been just rocking. We’ve been trading ETHU. We’ve been trading BMNR. So, a lot of really great stuff going on in the in the crypto markets right now that’s giving some really good trading opportunities. That is what this is all about, right? That is literally what this is all about. You said back up the truck. I did. I did say back up the truck. I I literally did and it’s exactly what I did. Listen, I put my money where my mouth is. I don’t Listen, I come on here. I tell you what I am doing. You guys take that information, do with it whatever you please. I’m not telling you to do with your money. I’m telling you what I’m doing with mine. And you guys, if you want to follow, by all means. If you don’t, you don’t. It’s totally up to you. It’s your decision. It’s your money, right? But I come on here and I tell you exactly what I think. I tell you exactly what I’m doing. And sometimes I’m right, sometimes I’m wrong. I’m right a hell of a lot more than I’m wrong. The moderators and I are right a hell of a lot more than we are wrong. Matter of fact, the moderators and I have been able to maintain a cumulative win rate on all of our executions of just around 80% now going on roughly the last five or six years. Okay. We are fully transparent inside trading group. We actually upload all of our trading activity onto the website in a trading journal for everyone to see. every entry, every take-profit, every stopout, every green, every red, every break even trade, it is all there tracked with timestamps for you guys to be able to see exactly what the moderators are doing inside of True Trading Group. And then you factor on top of that that type of guidance from the moderators and myself that are with you each and every single day. We’re with you every day. We’re trading with you live. We’re sharing our screen so you see what we see. We trade in front of you live. We answer questions. We talk to on the microphone. We’re with you for the entire day. And on top of now all of that, you guys have been able to add now and incorporate Mari. Mari is the award-winning platform, the award-winning AI that we received before for best AI analysis tool. Okay, Mari is just an unbelievable trading co-pilot. It is specifically fine-tuned for trading and investing and is run on cheap GBT5. It is just an unbelievable product and tool that has allowed so many of our members to be able to make money with it. It’s helping them identify support and resistance. It’s helping them identify chart patterns. It’s helping them come up with trading plans, profit targets, proper stop-loss placement. It’s helping them with position sizing. It’s helping them overcome mental and psychological hurdles of trading. You name it, Mari is capable and Mari is succeeding. And it is a huge reason why so many of our members have been able to consistently make money here at TTG. My boy Ryan says, “What’s up, brother? I’ve been a lifetime member for years now. I rarely see any of you mods miss.” It happens, but not much. I love that you all will own it and talk about if something doesn’t work out. It’s all part of the learning. Amen to that. My boy Jack says, “Mari is nuts.” Right. Mari is nuts. Mari is nuts. Is absolutely insane. It really is. But that’s what I mean by TTG is a platform. Okay? You’re not just joining a chat room with trade alerts and courses. TTG is a fintech platform that is designed specifically to give retail traders the highest possible chance of success to give them an edge and to give them the tools and resources and technology that professionals use that the average retail trader does not have. It almost feels like cheating to have access to the TTG platform with our partnership with with the NASDAQ and the level three data and the AI technology that we have with Mari and our partnerships with Unusual Wales and Benzinga and Databento and everything else. It almost feels like cheating. T you think of TTG as the Bloomberg terminal for retail traders. Bloomberg terminals, every hedge fund uses them. The brokerage, all the big players use them, but they’re $32,000 a year. The average retail trader is not going to pay $32,000 a year, but you could pay a couple hundred bucks. That is the TTG platform. And at the TTG platform and being part of the TG community, our members have success. And by success, I mean they make money. And if you don’t believe me, don’t. You shouldn’t believe me just because I’m a guy on a YouTube channel. You should believe actual TTG members. And we’ve got over a thousand of them that are here with you guys tonight. And let’s ask members of TTG. Go ahead and type the number one in chat if you’re making money, if you’re becoming better traders. Go ahead and type the number one in chat right now. Okay. Trader says, “I’ve joined other groups before. Nothing is better than TTG.” Now, anyone here that is not a member, I want you to pay very close attention to how many people you are about to see type the number one. Every single person that you see type number one right now is a member of TTG that is making money and are becoming better traders because of being part of this platform. There is nothing different about these people than you. These people are not luckier than you. They sure as hell don’t have more time than you. 82% of true training group members have a full-time job. If they can do this, then so can you. The technology that exists, especially with our AI trading co-pilot, there is absolutely zero excuse. I don’t care how busy you are. short of you being an astronaut and you are just parked on the space station and you’re not you don’t have the proper connectivity to connect to your Erade or your Weeble account to place a trade. Anything short of that, there is no excuse on why you guys cannot use this platform to your benefit. All these people you’re seeing type number one are telling you that they’re making money, they’re becoming better traders. If they can do this, then so can you. They literally are you. Or I should say they were you. They were a viewer on a YouTube stream. They listened to me for an hour and they figured out, “Wow, I just learned more in the last hour than I learned in the past year trying to figure this stuff out on my own.” They became a member of True Training Group. They’re utilizing the AI. They’re using the platform. They’re enjoying communicating with the community and they’re having success. That’s what this is all about. You’re here to make money. You’re not necessarily here to make friends. You’re not here to talk politics or sports, although I’ll talk sports anytime. Politics, no. Sports, yes. But you’re here to make money in the markets. How many people are on this live stream right now that are not a member real quick? And then I’m going to give you guys my trade ideas. If you’re not a member of TTG, type the letters TTG in chat right now real quick. I actually have something very special for anyone here that’s not a member of True Trading Group. So, if you’re not a member, you want to type TTG so I can see who you are because I have something very special for people that are not members. Go ahead and type the letters TTG
if you are not a member of True Trading Group. Okay, just go ahead and type TTG if you’re not a member. Knife of Life. Wear a kiss. Daryl Roy. Yeah, that’s it, guys. Go ahead. Just type TTG.
Look at that. Don’t have to be a full-time trader either. I’m a teacher and a wedding DJ. I joined TTG 5 years ago and I started investing after joining TTG and I’m up $150,000 in my long-term portfolio since joining. That’s amazing, Mike. That’s amazing. Mike, I still remember the last time you and I had a one-on-one because we we do one-on-one uh coaching and one-on-one mentors with our lifetime members and Mike is a lifetime member. So, we got also RM is in the house as well. Fantastic. We got Mona Mona Rod is in the house as well. Just found you 10 minutes ago. Nice. Knife of life. I really I appreciate that. I really appreciate you found us. You found us 10 minutes ago and you decided to tune in. I really appreciate that. Um so yeah, long story short, you kind of just heard about um True Trading Group and what TGD really is and the partnerships that we have. We have partnerships directly with the NASDAQ, Benzinga, News Wales, etc. Um, and we did receive the Benzinga award for best AI analysis tool. So, I said to you before that I have something very special for anyone here that’s not a member of true training group. So, here’s the deal. If you guys are not a member of TTG, I want you to experience this platform and see what it can do for you. I really truly and honestly do because I see the success that our members have and I feel very confident in your ability to do the same. I’m going to allow the next 15 people. I’m going to allow you to start your journey with TTG. DTG normally is an annual membership. Okay, that annual membership, okay, could something could cost you over a,000 bucks. But here’s what I’m going to do. For the next 15 people, you can start your journey with TTG today for just $197 for 90 days. Okay. Then listen to me very carefully. At the end of the 90 days, you have a choice. You can either upgrade to a full year membership and pay a balance of 402. Okay? So it’ll be 599 total for the year. Okay? And then you can unlock our double your money back guarantee, which I’ll get into in a moment. Or you can simply renew for another 90 days for $197 and you can stay on a quarterly plan, which will be an annual rate of $788 for the year. Or you can just let your 90-day membership expire. There’s no automatic renewal. There’s no reoccurring fee. There’s no surprise charge. There’s no automatic upgrade if you forget to cancel. It is not an automatic renewal. If after your 90 days are up, you want another 90 days, you need to process a transaction for another 90 days. Otherwise, you’re going to lose access to the platform and it’s not going to charge you anything. You would have to manually purchase another 90 days for $197 if you so choose. Or if you love TTG after those 90 days, you love the platform, you love the AI, you love the community, and you’re making money and you’re having success and you say, “You know what? the hell with the 90 days. I don’t want to pay 7.88 for the year. I’ll pay 5.99. You can just pay the balance of 402 and you can lock yourself in for the full year and then unlock the double your money back guarantee. After tonight or 15 people join, whatever happens first, this offer is going to go away and then new members will be able to join for an annual membership of 7.88. That’s the deal. So again, to recap, 90 days, 197 bucks, you get access to a core annual TT membership, but just for 90 days, for $197. After 90 days, you can either let it expire, you’re never charged again. Or you can renew for another $197 for 90 days, or you can upgrade to become an annual member and pay a balance of 402, unlock a double your money back guarantee. Go to ttgoffer.com.

Again, futures are flat. Okay, we are literally flat. We’re not green. We’re not red. were just flat, which I think, you know, honestly, I was when I saw the rally that we experienced on Friday, you know, I got to tell you, I I’m just I’m getting to a point where I’m at a point right now where
the markets continue to push higher, but I’m still a little cautious of of where we are, even with the doubbish pivot that we had from Jerome Now, um I think maybe we can we can float a little bit higher, but I am starting to get just a little bit cautious. I I I really would I really do prefer a pullback here coming into the fall. I don’t necessarily think we’re quite ready for one yet, but I think going into the fall into September, October, I do think that I do think that we could be looking at a bit of a pullback. We do have to welcome RM. RM, welcome to the TTG family. There’s only 14 spots left. These are first come first serve. Okay. After these spots are finished or midnight tonight, whatever happens first, you’ll join. You’ll be able to join an annual membership for 7.88. You can join 90 days right now for 197. Okay. RM, welcome to the TTG family. 14 of those spots now remain. Again, ttgoffer.com. Text us with questions. 1888-621-2127.
All right. Welcome to the TTG fam RM. All right, so as we come in here, you know, coming into the day here with a um or coming into the week with um two major catalysts that are absolutely undoubtedly, make no mistake about it, are going to move the market. One of them is Nvidia’s earnings. The second one is going to be PCE. Now, I think the Nvidia earnings are going to be the most significant catalyst of the week because drone pal’s already kind of signaled that they’re ready to cut rates in September. So, even if we get and we got to welcome Daryl. Daryl just joined, guys. Everybody welcome Daryl. 13 spots now remain. Everybody welcome Daryl. Daryl’s the newest member of the TTG fam. So, everybody welcome Daryl, guys. Again, ttgoffer.com. Click join now. Takes you to the checkout page. Everything’s there. If you have any questions or you used to be a member or used to be a trial member, just text us 1888-621-2127.
All right. Excellent. Welcome to the family, Daryl. Looking forward to trading with you, brother. All right. Back on over to what we’re talking about here now with the markets. The reason why I think that Nvidia’s earnings are going to be a bigger catalyst than the PCE is because the AI trade and the earnings power and the AI the earnings growth that you’ve seen from the AI related companies is what has been churning this market higher. Now you’ve got a little bit of a of a rotation. Uh Alisand, we got to welcome Alisand. 12 spots now remain guys. These are going quick guys. These are going quick. I wouldn’t wait. I’m telling you now. Once 12 people join, that’s it. We’re done. Then you’re going to only be able to join for one year for 7.88. I’m letting you join now for 197 for 90 days. And then you decide. If it’s like, you know what, this sucked. I really didn’t like it. Then you know what? It cost you 197 bucks. Not the end of the world. If you’re like, hey, this sucks. I don’t think that’s going to be the case. I really truly and honestly don’t. There’s a reason why we have a a a retention rate in the 70s of our members. We have over 10,000 members from 114 different countries. Many of our members have been members for years. Guys, do me a favor. Type the number of years you’ve been a member of TTG in chat. So, just type how many years you’ve been a member. You’ve been a member for three years, type the number three. You’ve been a member for four years, type the number four. Member for two years, type the number two. And anyone here that’s not a member, just pay attention to how many people you see or what not how many people, but pay attention to the numbers that you see. And then ask yourself, so there’s Sean, five years. Colobby, three, Brandon, three years. Ask yourself as you’re seeing these numbers, four years for Okay Trader. Suzie, five. Stan, what’s up, buddy? Four years for Stan. Okay, Kybo, how you doing, brother? Goofunded. Sarah, five years. Eric, five years. Another five years. Jane, four years. Dale, four years. D, five years. Will is going to be six years in November. Cheers. Five years. Regina, four years. Why do you think these people are still here?
If you ever wanted to know whether or not you should join a community, that is all the reason. That’s all the the answer you need. It’s that the members that are part of that community and part of that platform stay after they sign up. Why do they stay? Because they’re having success and they’re making money. Why would they not stay?
Right? Why would they not stay?
If you join for $197, right? If you joined for $197 for 90 days and let’s say you made three grand in those 90 days, you’re probably going to stay, aren’t you?
You might even join for the whole year. So, you pay $5.99 for the whole year, then your year is up. Let’s say over the year you made $18,000. I’m just making up numbers. Let’s say you made $18,000. Are you going to stay for another year? probably most likely. Why wouldn’t you? You’d be silly if you didn’t. But let’s say you paid $5.99 for the year and you lost $8,000, had no success. Then maybe you don’t stay. And I get that and I understand. I wouldn’t expect you to stay if you weren’t having success. So then you really have to think about why do all these members stay? Think about it. ttgoffer.com. The choice is yours. 90 days, 197. You don’t like it, you’re done. Never charge anything ever again. No automatic renewal, no funny business, no automatic upgrade, no surprise charges. You do like it, but you’re still not sure, pay another 197, stay for another 90 days. Or if you love it, which I’m confident you’re going to, 402, lock yourself in for the year, qualify for the double your money back guarantee. Just being in chat for 90 days is worth way more than 197 bucks. No question about it. Just having access to Mari the AI co-pilot for 90 days is worth more than 197 bucks. It’s a no-brainer. I just want you guys to experience the platform and see what really is possible for you and then you decide if TTG is the place to stay. That’s it. That’s what I’m doing. But there’s only 12 spots left. So you guys got to hurry up. All right. So back on over to the charts. the AI trade and AI earnings growth has really been what has moved this market higher. So if for any reason Nvidia makes it seem like you know the outlook on capex spending or the demand for their blackwell chips or anything like that is lower than expected then you’re going to get a whole turnaround and a whole big sentiment shift in the markets because I don’t believe the markets can move higher if all of your AI related stocks are moving down. The market could move higher if those stocks trade sideways. And the reason for that is because as we now know the Fed is ready to cut rates. You can see a broadening out in the markets. Mona Mona. Okay. Um Mona, text us Mona. We the process our the transaction failed. We got we’re we got we’re going to help you do it manually. Mona and Mona, you signed up with an incomplete phone number, so we can’t reach out to you. Your phone number was incomplete when you signed up. So, Mona, text us.

Guys, again, that goes for anybody else. We got to welcome Peter. Peter just joined. Now, we only have 11 spots left. Once we get Mona signed up, that’s going to be 10 spots left. Guys, these are going quick. ttgoffer.com. Text us with questions. 1888-6212127.
All right, back on now over
um back on now over to what I was saying. Okay, back on over to what we were saying. Uh and Peter, you misspelled your email on our end. You put live.com. We’re going to and we’re going to change it to com for you. So, don’t worry about it. We got your back, Peter. Welcome to the family. Um, so yeah, as the Fed begins to cut rates, that is something that bodess well for small caps. Okay, so small caps, if you look at the IWM, which is the Russell, the stock was up four uh the ETF for the Russell 2000 was up 4% on Friday. It led all markets. Okay, now Friday, Draw Pal told us they’re ready to cut rates. The IWM goes up 4%, the Nasdaq only up 1.65, the S&P only up 1.57. The Dow up 2%. So, what does that show you? That shows you a broadening out of the market rally because the NASDAQ is tech heavy obviously with all your AI and your tech names. The S&P 500 is also tech heavy with all your AI names because the S&P 500 is a market cap weighted ETF. It’s a market well I’m sorry that this ETF is the spy but the S&P 500 is a market cap weighted index which means the larger the company the more valuable the company the bigger the market cap the more impact the movement of that stock will have on the S&P 500 as a whole. The Dow on the other hand is a share price weighted index. So the more expensive your share price the more effect you’re going to have on the Dow. The Russell is filled with smaller companies that are far more sensitive to interest rate changes because smaller companies are more reliant on debt and financing. And when money and capital becomes cheaper, that’s much better for those companies. That’s why the IWM, which is the ETF for the Russell 2000, was up the most on Friday. That’s how the market rally broadens out. So, as long as the AI stocks either trade sideways or slowly move higher, you can get a broadening out of the Dow and the Russell, that can still lead the market higher. But if Nvidia signals that there’s a slowdown in demand for their higherend chips, I don’t think that’ll continue to see that broadening out if the AI trade falls apart. That’s why Nvidia’s earnings, I think, are more important than the PC data on Friday. The PC PCE data on Friday wouldn’t be a surprise if it comes in hot. you got a a little bit of a, you know, you got a so so CPI number, you got a scorching hot PPI number. If the PC number comes in hot, wouldn’t necessarily be that much of a shock. And Drone Pal already told us, right? Drone Pal already told us that they’re ready to cut rates. So, I don’t think you’re going to see that much of a movement off of the anticipation of a rate cut in September if the PC number comes in hotter than expected. That’s why I think that the Nvidia earnings are more important. Let’s talk about Nvidia. Okay, Nvidia has two very straightforward support and resistance levels that I will I will trade off of following earnings and I will draw them out for you and show you the levels. Okay, first level that we’re going to talk about is the all-time high. Now, that’s the obvious one, right? There’s your resistance at the all-time high. Okay, there’s your all-time high resistance. Now, with earnings, if it gaps above this level, then we’ll look for 182 to 184 to be a support zone if we gap above it following earnings. But if they if it gaps up to, let’s say, 182 and you’re still underneath that all-time high, I don’t think the stock will break the all-time high. I think it will bump against it and then fade back away and then trade sideways and be in a nice little channel. And that’s exactly what we need. We want to see the AI stocks not sell off, either continue higher or consolidate and allow the rest of the market rally to broaden out and get the market to move higher from other areas aside from AI. So, there’s nothing wrong if we gap up into the all-time high and then fade off it. I would actually look to fade that all-time high if you’re still underneath it come Thursday morning. The support level to focus on is 167. 167 that you see on my screen. It is this dark blue line. That is the 50-day moving average, folks. That’s going to come into play here for Nvidia. Then you have this previous little pivot top and then that pivot top then became a little support level and that’s a nice little area of structure that we can look for there for support on Nvidia if we were to get any big type of a sizable pullback from there. Okay, so those are going to be your support level and your resistance level that I will look to transact a trade on Thursday depending on how those earnings go with Nvidia. All right, now let’s move on over. Let’s talk about some other stocks that are on my watch list. But first, we got to welcome Jeremy and we got to welcome Kyle. Now we’re down to just nine spots. Okay,
a lot of this is Greek to me. I was trained in trading Forex and I was head of my class. The teacher said, “Welcome to your new career as a professional trader.” That’s fantastic, Daryl. That’s amazing, man. Congrats. That’s amazing. You’re going to love this. You’re going to fit right in, man. You’re going to fit right in. You’re going to love this. So, you’re already an experienced trader. I mean, listen, you said that this is this is Greek to me. It’s It’s not. I mean, listen, trading forex is definitely different from trading equities and options, etc., futures, but you know, probably a lot of the same technical setups and stuff that you probably learned will will roll over and still apply. Obviously, the catalysts are different. Forex is different in the sense of different catalysts and everything. And the way that Forex moves is a little bit different, obviously, from equities and options, but you’re going to fit right in, man. You’re going to fit right in. All right. Okay. So, here’s some other trade ideas I want to focus on. keeping with the cutting of interest rates, um let’s take a look at some some stocks that um would do well as interest rates go down, and that’s going to be some green energy solar names. There’s something else that happened with these green energy names that I want everyone to be aware of. The IRS gave clarity on um tax credits on solar and green energy under uh the big beautiful bill. So they gave some clarity on that stuff that could be that is part of a little bit of a catalyst there for some of these solar stocks over the last couple of days. And now that you have the Federal Reserve talking about cutting interest rates, SEDG is a solar stock that has gotten the absolute piss kicked out of it. The stock’s been obliterated for the last three years, but you’ve just broken above a key resistance level at 32. If you look at my chart right now, you’ll see a little pivot support level in June. It then became resistance in July and then it was resistance again in July of this year. Okay, that was the last year of July. Last year July and then now you have this year, right? And then now you had resistance here from last week. You cleared that on Friday. See that big breakout on Friday. This is a very straightforward setup. We’re looking for $33 to be support on a pullback for longs into a 32 and a quarter stop loss and see if we can get SEDG to get a little bit more of a of a relief rally and get up into this gap and fill that gap at 37. So, we’re going to look at like a gap fill up into 37. Okay. What type of trading room is offered? Is it live audio trading or chat only? So, knife of life, we have chat and we have audio. We have both. We have chat, audio, and screen share. So, knife of life, myself and the moderators of True Trading Group, we share our screen with you during the day. So, you see what we see and you can toggle through which moderator screen you want to look at. All the moderators and I have audio capabilities. So, throughout the day, we will talk to you what we see, what we’re doing, where we’re putting our orders. Watch this. This is what we’re going to do. This is what we expect to happen. I’m selling here. My stop loss is here. I’m entering now. like we talk to you on the on the microphone as well. And then you have the chat component where the moderators will still chat will type in chat and the members will type in chat. Members can’t talk audio like they don’t have a voice capability like we like the moderators do. Obviously there’s thousands of people inside of our chat room at any given moment. So we obviously can’t have our members talking, but the moderators and I will talk throughout the course of the day. And then if you can’t be in front of your computer, we do have a mobile app that you guys can download for free once you’re a member. And it keeps you connected to chat even if you’re not in front of your computer. So that when the moderators and I send out a trade alert because we we send out notifications when we enter and exit positions, you’ll get a real-time push notification sent to your phone. So, if you’re like in a meeting or you’re not paying attention, you know, you’re getting something to eat and boom, if I entered, you know, a long on Tesla, you’re going to get notified right away that that I just entered that position in real time. Okay. What platform do we trade on, Daryl? Whatever you True Trading Group is not a brokerage. So, you can trade on whatever platform you want. I personally trade on Lightseed. Some of our other moderators and members use Thinker Swim, Weeble, Erade, you know, um, members have Robin Hood and Fidelity and Interactive Brokers. I mean, you you trade whatever platform it is that you want. Um, you’re trading futures. The majority of our members, you know, use Ninja Trader for futures. It really just, you know, a lot of our international members use either Quest Trade or Interactive Brokers. We have members in 114 countries. So we have a lot of inter uh international members as well. And the most common account brokerage for international members is interactive brokers. Our most common account for us is Thinker Swim. Okay. So that’s it. All right. All right. So, SEDG, we’re going to see can we find support at 33 and see if we can get a little bit more of an upside move there on an SGE breakout. Okay, that’s that. Next up, um I’m going to look at Meta. I’m going to look at Meta. And the way I’m thinking about this is at first I thought maybe it wasn’t able to hold those previous all-time highs, but now I’m starting to think that it did. Meta is a very volatile stock and the more volatile that a stock is, the wider those support and resistance levels become. I want you guys to understand that. So the more volatile the stock, the wider the level. So on a stock like Meta, that’s going to be a really wide support level. And you can see on my screen, I just drew like a box for you and that shows you the zone of support. Okay. Now, prior to to the earnings gap up, okay, you had
resistance right resistance. Then you gapped above it and the top end of the resistance became support and then the bottom end of the resistance became support and now you’re back to the upside. What I’m looking for here on Meta is I’m looking for like 753ish
as a spot for me to look for a long on a on a pullback into like 750 for the long and look for a candle that looks something like this from Meta. And if that is in fact the case, I think you get another day. I think you can get you can get price action that looks like this. Okay. So, Mona, Mona, what’s up? Mona said, Mona, we just whitelisted your email address. Mona, we had to whitelist your email. So, Mona, you’re all good to go from Australia. You are good to go. Just now go to ttgoffer.com. Mona, you used to be a member. So, go to ttgoffer.com, click join now, and just sign up and you’re going to be good to go. Mona, we whitelisted your account. You’re all set. All right. So again, that’s ttoffer.com. Mona, you can go there now. Click join now and sign up and then you’re going to be good. So that’s what I’m looking for there, guys. That’s what I’m looking for there on Meta.
All right.
All right. Yeah, we get So, there’s the checkout page right there on the on the screen, right? So, that’s what you should be seeing. You go right there, click join now
and then sign up, Mona, and you’re good to go. That goes for anybody else also as well. All right. All right. So, back on over to the charts with this MetaTrade, guys. Like I said, I’m looking for like the low 750s to be support. So, we’re going to look for longs into the low 750s and then see if we can get a little bit of a reversal and get maybe a day or two of upside there on Meta as Meta confirms a test and hold of the 50-day moving average, which is this dark blue line you see on my screen, which was support back here, right? And then confirms holding support at the previous all-time high. And let’s look for this stock to get back into the 760s, maybe 770s. All right, that’s going to be Meta.
Next up, we’re going to look at a firm. And I just don’t think a firm is going to break 82. 82 is a really huge level of resistance. It was a major um resistance top in the very early days of 2022 and then it was a huge resistance level here in February earlier this year and now you’re getting close to this area. What I think you might have happen here with the firm is I think a firm might run up into 82 and then put in a little bit of a topping tail and just kind of do something that that looks like this.
Okay. So, I’m thinking that a firm does something that looks like that. All right. Right. So, we’re going to looking for shorts on a firm up there into 82. We could probably have a pretty tight stop. I think we could probably stop it at like 83 and then look for the stock to just drop back to like 76 77. All right. So, that’ll be a short there on a firm. Then we’ve got Zoom Video, which had a massive breakout day obviously there on Friday, but uh what goes up must come down. No, don’t don’t say that. Don’t use that as a as a saying. I just Zoom video is a stock that’s really had a tough time holding any real upward movement. The stock has really been notorious for selling off any large moves. And you have a pretty decent resistance level here. You have this little previous little pivot top there from May. And you then you’ve got this all this resistance there from February prior to that. There’s structure there that was support. So I think this is such a huge move in such an incredibly short period of time. I just feel like Zoom video might do something that looks like this. Okay. So, we’re looking for something like that. Looks like that there on Zoom video. I don’t think Zoom video is going to be able to break 85. So, that resistance is 85. So, we look for quick and that would be a quick trade. I don’t know if that’s one you necessarily want to sit on, but at least on a pop into 85. I think we can maybe look for a quick scalp trade to the downside on that one. And then last but not least, micro strategy. I want to watch this one. Bitcoin took a dump earlier today. It since tried to recover a little bit. Um but this 200 day moving average is everything with Micro Strategy. Um you can see Micro Strate the yellow line is a 200 day support support.
You move all the way back to 2023 and every single time Micro Strategy touched that yellow line, it bounced off of it. You broke underneath that yellow line last week. Now you rallied back into test that yellow line. I am not so sure that Micro Strategy is going to just do this. Now, if Igniter Strategy gaps up tomorrow, if this thing gaps up into the 360s, I am most likely not taking this trade right away. I would need more confirmation for that to be the case because you have this support level here. I want Now I want to show you this support level. Support support. Right? That support level was broken. Now you’re bouncing back up into that resistance. You have the 200 day moving average. You have the 9 EMA sitting there as well. I think Micro Strategy is going to do this.
Okay, I think Micro Strategy is going to do that. So, I’m looking for a short on Micro Strategy somewhere in the mid to high 350s. My stop loss will be there in probably the low 360s. And we’re going to look for this thing to drop back into the low 340s. Okay, maybe even the 330s. But that’s the price action we’re going to look for after the break below the 200 day, which has been support for two years. The break below the support level that’s been support for the last several months. Let’s look for that level to now become resistance and see if the stock then fades back and pulls back into the downside a little bit. Okay, so there you guys have it. There are my trade ideas coming into the week. Now, obviously, I’m going to add ideas to that list tomorrow once I see what stocks are doing in the pre-market, what stocks have news. We’ll wait for Nvidia earnings, Snowflake earnings, Crowd Strike earnings on Wednesday after the close. We will be live to cover that with you guys and we will u talk about how we’re going to trade it. All right, for the rest of you, there is a few spots left.

All right, and that’s it, folks. That wraps it up. That does it there for me. Hope you guys feel better prepared to take on the week. It’s going to be a big week, obviously, with Nvidia earnings, PCE inflation data. Nvidia earnings, I think, are the biggest catalyst of the week by far. So, we’ll be ready for it, right? You got a lot of volatility over the weekend in crypto. Ethereum has been on fire. New all-time high on Ethereum, and then you got this little pullback that just happened today. So, we’ll be focused on Ethereum. We’ll be focused on Bitcoin. We’re going to focus on Micro Strategy. We’re going to focus on ETHU, right? We’re going to be looking there for for trade ideas for this week. Um, so let’s get to it, right? Get get some good rest tonight. It’s going to be a big week. We had a big week last week.

I also don’t think that you should listen to me just because I think that I’m the world’s greatest trader. I do not. I’m a damn good one, but the greatest. No. The reason why I think you guys should pay attention to what it is I discuss on this channel is because I didn’t figure this stuff out on my own. I didn’t have to sit in Discord rooms. I didn’t have to watch YouTube videos. I was very fortunate that my very first job right out of college was working on Wall Street for T3 Alpha Fund in New York City. They had me go through a training program before they let me touch $1 of the fund’s money. And shortly after that, 2008, that was the great recession. That was the big stock market crash. But it was also the same year that I received one of the firm’s trader of the year awards. Now you fast forward, I’m the co-founder and head trader of True Trading Group and along with my team of eight other professional full-time trading mods and an over 30 person staff. We’ve helped thousands of members from all over the world to reach their goals. So if you guys are new here, like I said, hope you guys are getting ready to make some money this week. True Trading Group is a global community. We have over 10,000 members from over 100 from 114 different countries. Truly a global community here at TTJ. We day trade, we swing trade, we cover long-term investing, we trade stocks, options, crypto, futures, there’s literally something for everybody here at True Trading Groups. Whether you guys are just looking to level up or you’re just getting started, whether you need a little extra push, whatever it is, you guys are in the right place. Stick around. Let’s make some moves together. Let’s make some money together here this week. All right. So, with that all being said, we got a big week. We got a big week because we’re getting all of our new inflation data this week.
All of our new inflation data. And you know, something happened uh about a week and a half ago. We got our labor report and that labor report came in weaker than weaker than was expected. And when that labor report came in weaker than expected, you saw we got a nice little big gap down there last Friday. Um, so everybody started to then price in the probability of a wave cut at the September Fed meeting really started to rise. Um, because people started to look at the labor market as a sign of, you know, real weakening and real slowing, feeling that, okay, that’s that’s going to be enough now to get the Fed to actually start to move and to get the Fed to cut rates. But you got PCE inflation data that day as well. And that PC inflation data was hotter than expected and people started to get a little bit nervous. Actually, the day prior, people started to get a little bit nervous that maybe the Fed is going to be caught between a rock and a hard place. That if inflation is going to start rising and if you’re going to start to see some impact from tariffs or anything else while the labor market begins to weaken, that puts the Fed in a little bit of a jam because the Fed doesn’t want to raise, doesn’t want to cut rates, excuse me, if inflation’s moving higher. But they also don’t want to keep rates where they are if the labor market is weakening. That is why this is going to be such an important week. Right now, the market is, you know, under the impression, I’m not saying that the market’s right or wrong. It’s something that the markets are looking at right now that the Fed is going to cut rates at the September meeting. And I believe, I could be wrong, but I believe that any type of an increase in inflation numbers that you get over the course of the next one or two or 3 months will will be a temporary rise in prices, but not a rise in actual inflation. Inflation, we have to remember, is a rate of change. Tariffs cause a price increase. And the way that a tariff works is you’ll have a tariff comes across. So this is the other thing you guys have to understand that if you have a product that cost $10 and has a 50% tariff on it, it’s not going to cost you now $1.50. The exporter of that product, they absorb part of the tariff in the form of lowering their prices in order to remain competitive for the person that’s going to be purchasing the product. Then the importer who actually is a person that is bringing that product into the country, they’re then also going to absorb some of that some of that tariff through a margin compression. And then you have the consumer which is the third third person on that chain and they’ll absorb some of the tariff in the form of price hike but it’s not a full 15% price hike. It gets eaten out from some of some of it comes through the exporter in the form of the lower cost to the importer then the importer absorbs some of it through margins combustion and then their consumer absorbs some of it through the through a price hike. So, you’re going to get as tariffs roll themselves through and inventory gets turned over and companies finally start to see as some trade deals kind of become more clear what that tariff number is going to be, you’re going to start to see now people or companies be able to now adjust prices based on a little bit more clarity on what that tariff number is going to be. So, you may start to see prices increase on certain products, but I don’t think it’s going to be it’s going to cause an acceleration of inflation. I think you might see one or two months where it ticks itself back up to the upside and then I think it will drop itself back off once the prices work themselves through. I don’t think it’s going to be something where the price of a good that’s hit by a tariff is going to continuously rise rise rise rise rise for the next 6 months and you have this reaceleration of inflation. I don’t believe that that’s what’s going to happen. I believe you’re going to see an increase in prices and then the inflation rate will pop on the increase but then it will settle back down because the rate of change will not accelerate. Right? Inflation is a rate of change. It is not a price. And that is a very important thing for people to understand when they’re trying to figure out everything revolving around tariffs. But the market has looked at the gap down that you got on the weaker jobs number. You started to see expectations of a Fed rate cut in September really started to rise. You don’t have a Fed meeting in August. So that number really started to rise. That is why this CPI number is critical. If this CPI number comes in line with expectations, you can almost guarantee a rate cut at the September meeting. Okay, the Fed meeting is at the end of the month. So, you are going to get not this month, it’s it’s towards the end of September. You are going to get two more months of inflation data. This being one of them. Okay? You’re going to get the July CPI and then you’re going to also get the August CPI before the Fed has to make a decision about rates. As long as those inflation numbers do not come in scorching hot, then you can guarantee that we’re going to be getting a rate cut at the September meeting. Okay? And that’s important. I think the Fed should be cutting rates at the September meeting and they should probably cut rates at least two times here this year and then continue cutting at a pretty steady pace going into next year. But I worry that the Fed’s not going to do that if they get maybe two hotter than expected inflation reports. That’s why this is such a critical week. It’s because you are about to get one of the green lights or yellow lights, okay, that the for the Fed in order to cut rates in September. And right now the market thinks that they’re going to cut rates. That’s why we’re sitting right here now at alltime highs. And literally as I’m talking, futures are I’ll just do a quick little check here on futures. Yeah, we’re we’re small green 6420 right now. So, we’re just a stone throw from those all-time highs. Just a stone throw from those alltime highs right now for the overall market. Um, and you know, I think that as long as you do not get a hot CPI number, you have to look for a meltup this week. Okay, the CPI number comes out Tuesday morning at 8:30. If that number is not above expectations, I think you get a little bit of a meltup and I think that the markets could just kind of drift their way into the 640s on the SPY. Okay, you probably can run up into like 6,500 on the S&P. But if that CPI number comes in hotter than expected, then you really need to look for then you need to look for a potential double top. Then you need to look for a potential double top.
um off of that alltime high.
Right.
Okay. So, that’s why this is going to be a really big week. Okay. There it is. There’s your all-time high on the spy. It’s the day that got put in um not last week, the week prior when Meta and Microsoft reported their earnings. Those earnings were blowout earnings and then it was a couple days after the announcement of the EU trade deal. It was right after the Fed meeting and then you had the big gap up to those all-time highs and the market sold it off. Then you got the hotter than expected PCE and then you got the weaker than expected labor report and then you had the huge gap down on that following Friday and that kind of trapped a lot of people up here at the highs. But you very quickly immediately took it back. And I’ll be the first person to tell you I didn’t think that this gap down on that on not this previous Friday, the Friday prior to that. I didn’t think that this gap down was going to be bought up as aggressively as it was. Like this is a very aggressive buyback off of that that gap down. If you asked me on that previous Friday, do I think that that the market was going to go back up to its all-time highs within just one week? I would have said no. I would have said no. I don’t think that we’re going to go all the way back up there within just one week. But yet, here we are as the buy the dip mentality continues to be relentless and is continued to be driven by AI and tech tech related stocks. Okay, so this is going to be a big week. I want to go through with you guys and I want to talk about some of my top trade ideas. We also have, you know, crypto making moves this weekend. Ethereum breaking over that 4,000 level as Ethereum is pushing 4200 or 4,300 I think we got to um over the weekend. Slight little pullback uh over the last 24 hours or so, but still firmly above that 4,000 mark. And that bodess well for one of the positions that we are already in, which is Tom Lee’s Bit Miner. Okay, that’s BMNR. So, we are already in that position. We got into that position last week at $46. We took profits off well into the 50s as that stock had a really nice move there on Friday. Um, and I’m still in it, right? I’m still in this thing. Got this huge move. We got all the way to $54. Okay, we’re in it from 46. took profits off there um on this move, but with Ethereum moving, okay, I think that we are going to see BMR maybe get to around $60 tomorrow morning and I’m looking to take profits at 60. That was my target. We got into this position targeting 60 and looking for a little bit of a breakout on Ethereum. You had a lot of momentum coming through here on BMR. Volume is just off the charts. You take a look at the volume down here. Okay, you can see just steadily increasing one day after the next as the stock extends. I just feel like this thing was just kind of starting to light itself up. But $60 is the target. Okay, you guys can see here low of the day on July 9th, high of the day on July 10th and high of the day on July 14th. Okay, so that is a nice little price structure area there around 60. That is going to be my target and we’re going to see if we can get there tomorrow. If Ethereum was to really start to continue to run and if BMR gets over 60, I will hold a runner. But I am taking profit off probably 58 to $59 somewhere in front of that $60 level. And that could be a way for us to, you know, start the week off on the right foot. Start the week off with some money in our pockets. There’s a couple of those small caps that I want to go through with you. And you’re going to get a ton of volatility following that CPI number. We had a fantastic week last week. We had a fantastic year. It’s been a great month. It was a great week. It’s been a great year. Okay. And with and BMR is something that was brought to our attention through the AI. I’ve got two other stocks that have brought to our attention through the AI. And again, guys, it’s Mari. Mari is that’s the persona of our AI. It’s an award-winning AI platform. TTJ is not just a chat room with trade alerts and courses. True Trading Group is an entire fintech platform that is built to help retail traders the very best chance of succeeding in the markets. Think of it as like a retail version of a Bloomberg terminal. You guys are going to get access to tools and resources and data feeds that professional traders have access to that help them make better decisions and help them make money. We are building that here at True Trading Group. So when you join TTG, it’s not just, oh, I’m going to get this guy’s stock picks. You’re getting a whole hell of a lot more than that. And yes, my trade my my trade alerts and the moderators and I there’s eight other professional traders that are mods at True Trading Group. Yes, the trade alerts are fantastic. Matter of fact, the mods and I have been able to maintain a cumulative win rate on all of our executions of just around 80% now going on roughly the last five or six years. We track every single buy, every take-profit, every stopout, every green, red, break even trade. It is all uploaded on our website. Full transparency. You guys get to see every single thing it is that the moderators and I do. We are an open book here at TTG. So, yes, the trading alerts are fantastic. You can follow them if you want, but you can also use the AI to make money. Our AI is customized to you. The more you communicate with it, the more you talk to it, the more it will remember your style, your strengths, your weaknesses, your risk tolerance, okay? The type of trading that you’re looking for. You’re looking for day trades. You’re looking for swing trades, you’re looking to trade options or equities, or you trading futures so that it can suggest to you the highest probability of outcome for particular uh trades in the market depending on what you guys are looking for. And that’s why a lot of our members are able to make money with TTG because they are using the AI. Okay, the AI is helping them build out trading plans. It’s giving them stop- losses, entries, profit targets. It’s adjusting options contracts. It’s giving them analysis in real time. And you don’t have to just take my word for it. Don’t take my word for it, okay? Anyone here that’s not a member, because I’m sure you’ve probably seen a a hundred different places try to talk to you about some type of AI this or AI that. Okay. True Training Group has spent over seven figures and over two and a half years developing this. And there’s a reason why we received the Benzinga Fintech award for best AI analysis tool. There’s a reason why we have a data partnership agreement signed directly with the NASDAQ. There’s a reason why we have a partnership with Benzena. We have a partnership with Unusual Rails. There’s a reason why all these companies are working with us because they also see what it is that we are doing implementing this technology onto our platform. They see the success that our members have. And again, do not take it from me. You shouldn’t just believe what I’m telling you just because I’m I have a YouTube channel. Believe our members. If you ever wanted to decide whether or not a specific trading tool or or in this case an AI or a platform or a trading community, if you ever wanted to decide if it’s the right place for you, the best way for you to make that determination is to figure out whether or not the members of that community and the people using that tool are successful. And let’s ask members of TTG. Members of TTG, I want you guys right now to type the number one in chat right now if you are making money and if you are becoming better traders because of True Trading Group. Okay, type the number one in chat right now if you are making money and if you are becoming better traders because of TTG. It’s conversational AI. You can use chat GPT. Great. You guys can use this. Okay, RAI is complete natural language. You don’t need to know any complex prompts. You ask whoever the hell you want. You can literally say, “Hey, give me a list of stocks and have a really high chance of experiencing a short squeeze this week.” And it can give and it can break down a list for you. But it can also give you probability of outcome. Okay? You can ask any AI that question and and any AI will give you an answer. But how they are coming up with those answers is different and matters and the accuracy of that matters on whether or not you were able to take that information and and act on it to actually make money. Look at all these people typing number one. These are members of True Trading Group that are sitting here telling you that they’re making money. And it sure as hell is not because they’re luckier than you. And it really is not because they have more time than you. 82% of our members have a full-time job. If they can do this, so can you. The AI makes it easier for you guys. The AI can do in 10 seconds what would take you an hour. It can help you. It can help you stay focused on the highest probability of outcome setups that are out there. It can make sure your stop loss is in the right place so you don’t get stopped out. The stock ends up working in your favor two hours later and you lost 200 bucks when you should have made 500 bucks. It’s happened to everybody that’s on this live stream. you know it has you can incorporate and then you’re even with new updates as we’re rolling out new updates are going to be able to incorporate level three data so you can actually our AI will be able to analyze where institutional order flow is sitting where is in and that’s a data feed that we get directly from the NASDAQ that makes a distinguish that makes a um a distinction between institutional orders and retail orders so that you’re actually going to be able to know okay where are institutional buy orders where are institutional sell orders versus where are retail buy orders, where are retail sell orders, and REI is going to be able to factor that information into their analysis to give you the very best entry points and to give you the very best stop-loss areas so that that stuff doesn’t happen anymore. These are the reasons why our members are making money. Our AI is completely integrated onto our charting software. Okay, live analysis directly on your chart. Now, there’s a ton of companies out there and programs where you can take a screenshot of a chart and you can load it into the AI and the AI will then analyze that screenshot for you. That’s not this. This is just on your charts and you have an AI that is there communicating with you saying, “Hey, here’s resistance. Here’s support. Here’s the chart pattern that I see. Okay, here’s how you should draw your Fibonacci levels.” You might draw your Fibonacci levels. A, hey, actually that’s incorrect. This is how you want to draw it. Okay. Mari helps me set up my game plan for the week every Sunday. Used to take me hours. Now only a few minutes and I know what I am targeting. Fit by absolutely I love it. And guys, Adam is actually launching a fully updated version of the AI charts literally right now. Right now, as we speak, as I’m on this live stream, Adam is updating, okay, of he’s going through and launching a fully updated version of the AI charts with some new functions and features and some new smoothness that you guys are going to be able to use, okay, right away. Okay? If you try to access the AI charts right now, you will most likely be getting an error. So, give it time as Adam is just rolling through and launching that new update on the THD platform. So any members, okay, any members that are trying to use the AI charts right now, if you get an error message, that is the reason why. Okay, but this is this is what I’m talking about.

The fade doctor. What’s up, brother? Mari helped me set up a calendar spread on IWM that gained me 10% at market open every day last week after I took the trade 15 minutes before market close every day last week. It was a strategy of mine. Let me let me read that to you one more time. This is from Fay Doctor and Fay Doctor just joined True Trading. Fade Doctor, you joined what brother like a month ago if I’m not mistaken. Mari helped me set up a calendar spread on IWM that gained me 10% market open every day last week after I took the trade 15 minutes before the market closed the previous day. Every day last week. So he was able to make 10% every single day last week through that. And that’s a calendar spread that was that Mari, which is our AI, okay, that help that he set um that Mari helped him set up. That’s incredible. It’s absolutely incredible. Those of you that are not members. Okay. Yes. And there’s fade doc. That’s what I’m saying. He just joined about a month ago and he’s already doing that thanks to the AI. It’s real people, real results. I’m going to let anyone here that is not a member of True Training Group right now come experience what this is like for yourself. Okay. Okay. The price of this platform for the year is going to be $8.99. I’m going to give it to you for $5.99. It’s $5.99 for the whole year. Okay, that’s it. It’s $5.99 for the whole year.

I will give you back double your money. That is the commitment I’m willing to make to anyone here right now to prove to you how much I believe in what it is that we have created.

Type the number of years you’ve been a member inside chat. So, go ahead. Type how many years have you been a member? Type it in chat right now. Just type type the years.
When you guys do well as members, we do well.
Alex goes, “Ew, I can’t be mad. I made way more than what I paid over the years.” Like, by a lot. Exactly. That’s the point, right? That is the point. And that’s the point. We want to we want to differentiate ourselves. We want to stand out from the crowd. Okay. So again, type the amount of years you guys have been Look at this. Look at all these people typing. Look at this. Four years, 5 years, 5 years, 3 years, four years, one and a half, four, three, five, four. Right. Look at this. Three, three to five years. Look at this. Four years. Three years. Three years. three years, another five years. So, this is what I’m saying. That’s what I’m saying is like I would much rather, okay, I’d much rather say, listen, come join your trading group for a lower cost, lower barrier to entry so that you don’t you have no excuse, right? You have no Listen, if you’re on if you’re on a live stream on Sunday evening trying to figure out how to make money this week in the markets, you have $599. Don’t tell me you don’t. I know that you do. And by joining True Sharing Group, I’m 76, not too good with computer. You have clients old like me, John. Absolutely, brother. We have several members that are in their 60s,7s, and we have a few members that are actually in their 80s. We don’t have a lot of members in their 80s, but we have plenty. We have plenty. Any members here that are in their 70s, just shout it out. Any anyone here in their 60s or 70s, shout it out. But we have plenty members, John. Plenty members. plenty, brother. So, you’re definitely you’re definitely not and the fact that you’re not good at computers, that’s the beauty about about using our AI. It’s it’s natural language, John. So, all you would do is you would talk to the AI the same way. We actually have a John. We actually have a member whose name is also John who’s actually 82 years old and he just started using the AI because you don’t need you don’t need to know anything about like computers or technology. You just talk to it, right? Oh, here’s a couple people. 60 60 62 67. Kao, what’s up, man? How are you? 67. There’s Desert Do is 72 years old, right? 65 for Thomas, you know. So, I was going to say, John, you’re you’re you know, age is first age is just a number, my man. But use the AI, right? It’ll it’ll make your life 10 times easier. You don’t need to know any complex prompts. You just talk to it. there. Dominic is 69. Bruce is 78. Bruce Balmouth is 78 years old,
right?
So there you go. You just talk to Mar the same way you would talk to me. So the same way that you would just type, same way you would text somebody, the same way you would email somebody, that natural language, John, that you would use, you have a question, you just ask. You don’t need to know like any complex prompts or anything like that. That’s the beauty of the AI. It was developed specifically for natural language because we didn’t want the intimidation factor of someone needing to understand prompting and prompt engineering which could be complicated and and a little bit confusing for some people and might affect and impact the quality of the response that they get from the AI if you don’t know how to prompt appropriately. Ours is built on just natural language. You just talk to it the way that you would talk to anybody else. Okay. Yeah, John. No problem, man. My pleasure. It’s my pleasure. Thanks for uh thanks for asking the question because it’s it’s a you know it’s it’s a valid question. It’s something I think everybody everybody really should should know and and should be aware of. But we have another member who’s also named John who’s actually 82 that we actually were just talking to this past week because he just started using the AI.
All right. So there you guys go. So again folks, you can go to TTG, right? You can go to ttgoffer.com.

And if they can do this, then so can you. There’s no reason why all these people that are going to type one right now that they can make money with this platform and you can’t. They’re not smarter than you. They’re not luckier than you. They literally are you. Or I should say they were you. They were once a viewer on a live stream. Now they’re a member telling you they’re making money. The choice is yours. ttoffer.com. If you have any questions at all or if you have any concerns, you need some clarity on a few things, whatever, text us 1888621-2127.
Again, that is 18886212127.
Text that phone number with any questions that you guys have. 18886212127.
Phone number is right down there at the bottom of your screen. text that number if you guys have any questions at all whatsoever. All right. So, there you go. Again, ttgoffer.com. All right, folks. Let’s take things on over to the charts. Um, we’ll hit on the spy here first. I already kind of talked to you guys. I told you a little bit about what I’m thinking here at the spy. I’m thinking that if the CPI number comes in under expectations, um, then I think you just melt this up this week and you probably just push up into the 640s. If it comes in line with expectations, I still think you make the new alltime high, but I think it becomes maybe just a little bit of a slow crawl to the upside. If it comes in higher than expected, then watch for the double top and look for the markets to drop themselves back down into the high 620s. And if that number comes in higher than expected on Tuesday morning, I will flip my watch list to be predominantly short. Right now, my watch list is neutral. I have longs and shorts that are up here on the list that I want to go over and share with you guys all here. Now, now I will go through my positions I’m in here first. One of them is BMR. I mentioned this to you guys earlier. Ethereum cracked over 4,000 um here this weekend or actually Friday night and then over the weekend. and BMNR obviously with um everything there. Tom Lee becoming chairman. That’s a stock that recently went crazy. We’ve traded a couple times here at True Trading Group. Um and they are, you know, acquiring Ethereum in the same way that Micro Strategy is acquiring Bitcoin. And that’s got with Ethereum moving higher. That’s got BMR moving higher. Excellent volume to the upside. I’m expecting a gap up tomorrow. And I’m looking for a $60 target. I will be taking profit into this $60 level. I’m looking for 5859. That’s going to be the area that I’m going to be looking to take some profits off. I will hold a runner. I will hold a runner of this. If we get to like 5859, I’m going to take profit, but I’m going to hold a piece just in case you break 60. Then that thing might give you a little bit more runway. And I’ll be looking for maybe a final take profit somewhere around 66 67.
Look at that badass 95Z goes. I was up until 200 a.m. Friday night and I decided to experiment with Mari while I had no distractions. It thoroughly answered all of my questions and even gave me examples. I actually learned from it. I love that. H I love that. I love seeing you guys use it. the usage cuz Adam and I on the back end of the site, we see the usage of the AI. The usage is exploding. So, our members are using it more and more every single day. More and more people are joining and getting access to the AI and using it and it’s been a real gamecher for a lot of them. So, I love to hear it. I love to see it. Keep it up, guys. Keep using it. All right. So, that’s BMR. Now, again, that’s a position that I’m already in. And I’m long from $46. Okay. And we’re looking for, like I said, 60. I took a bunch of profit off on Friday, but I’m still long. Another position that I’m in um is HIMS. I am short HIMS. I originally shorted HIMS on Wednesday. Okay, just under $54. We took profits down into 50. I reloaded some of that position back because I took a lot of profit off. I had a very small position left. I added some of the position back, but I’m looking for a break of 50. I’m not going to lie, I don’t like how the stock held 50 for the last three days in a row. Now, the low of the day is literally $5025 for the last three trading days. You can see here, one, two, three, right? Boom. Low of the day on Friday, low of the day on Thursday, low of the day on Wednesday. Boom, boom, boom. All right. So, I was looking for this stock to break that level. Um, I did take profits down into that level, but I’m looking for it to break. I’m still short. Okay, I am still short though of the position and trying to see if we break 50. If you break 50, I think the stock drops straight to 47 1/2. Okay, 47 12 will be the level that I’m going to look for. Um, as far as where am I going to stop out of the remainder of the position, probably 54 1/2 area is where I’ll probably start to look at that to get myself out of that position because like I said, I’m short from right around 54. We took a bunch of profit into 50. So, we pop back to like 5450 or so. I’ll probably look to then start to think about getting out 5450 55. I’ll get out the last piece. Will still be a nice profitable trade for me because of all the profits I took off in front of 50, but again, I’m still in it. And I think honestly coming into this week, if you see this thing break 50 Monday or Tuesday, I would even add to the position or I would enter the position for the first time if you’re not in already and look for the stock to drop to 47 and a half. Okay? So, just keep an eye there. $50, that’s my level. That’s what I’m going to look for. If this thing pops up to pops up on me tomorrow, I’ll cover the last piece of this thing up around 54 and a half or 55. Okay, those are the positions I’m already in. Now, another stock that I want to talk to you guys about, my watch list is is is a little bit different um this week than than normally. I didn’t want to I didn’t want to give myself too many large caps that have high betas to the overall market coming into this week because I think Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. everything could change with that CPI number. So, my watch list is starting at excuse me, my watch list is starting out with stocks that are less correlated to the overall market, but after Tuesday, I will add a lot more stocks to my watch list that are going to be more large cap that’ll be more heavily correlated to the overall market. Okay? So, my watches coming into this week is a little bit um different than usual. I actually have a small cap. Okay? generally trade options and futures, but I recently took a position in MP thoughts. O, Nigel, I recently just got out of my MP position. So, I was also long MP. I got long MP last Friday. Okay, right here. I got long MP literally right here on this day that you guys see highlighted right there on my screen, Nigel. On August 1st is when I got long and we jumped into members bought uh call options. I was long the stock and we got into call options and we took profit on that um into that earnings release. You know, the earnings, you know, got the thing up all the way to 79 or so. Uh we took our final profits off right prior to that and it was a beautiful trade for us. So I actually just sold Okay, I just sold my MP. Um so I will never, you know, with it, you know, if I’m if I’m never going to tell someone, hey, I think this is a great buy if I just sold it. Um, I’m not saying that I don’t think the stock can go higher. It’s just, you know, I was in a position. I was in it for like a quick swing trade. I was in the position for about one week. It worked out beautifully for us. It was a triple digit gain on the call options for members. Was a was a big win. Um, and we we rang the cash register, right? We ran the cash register. You had the gap up there on the back of the earnings. Um, but I’m no longer in the position. Okay? So, I just full transparency. Just want to let that be known. I’m no longer in the position there at MP, but there’s not much to not like. You know, there really there’s not much to not like. You know, they’ve had great news lately. They had good earnings. You got a little short position that’s that’s in there on that stock as well. So, um you know, I’m going to keep it on watch, but I did take my final profit off going into earnings. Okay. Okay. Next stock I have my watch list. This is a strange one because it’s a small it’s a small cap biotech name. Um, and I usually don’t have these on my on my watch list, but I just I just like the chart, you know. I like the chart. This is something that Mari and Rii was able to bring to my attention um because of the strong breakout day that it had on Friday, the big volume. You got above a res a structural resistance level. You got above also a major moving average. The the reason why I don’t usually the reason why you don’t usually see me have stocks like this on my watch list is because these stocks can do an offering at any time, you know, right? Like these stocks can do these are not good companies, you know? They they typically when the stocks go up, they do offerings and the stocks go back down. And there’s really no way you can predict that or prepare for it. So that’s why I don’t usually have like these stocks on my watches. I usually treat these as day trades only. Um, and I will look for it to be a day trade only, but just keep in mind if there’s like an offering that’s announced tomorrow morning, it completely gets taken off of my watch list. Okay, this is going to be a very specific play. $2 is going to be my support level. My target is going to be the 260s. If the stock were to break the 260s, you can look for a short squeeze that takes you to 350. Now, the reason why I’m bringing this to your attention is just because I just like this $2 level. And I want to show you that $2 used to be support back there in December. And then you broke underneath it and it was resistance, resistance, resistance in January and February. And then it was a resistance again in July. And then you broke above that here on Friday. And then you also will notice this yellow line. That’s the 200 day moving average. That yellow line also lines up right at that level. So, if $2 is support, just look to see is there maybe a day two on this ALC. Again, not a stock that you’ll normally find on my watch list cuz I don’t usually have these stocks on my watch list. It’s ALC, Apple, Larry, uh, Edward, Charlie. But if it stays above $2, I will keep an eye on this for tomorrow. Now, let’s keep it going. Another kind of small cap but higher price and this is NEG. We made some really good money on this NEG guys. Um what two weeks ago was it? Um this is a really great trade for us. A lot of our members jumped on this thing here on Friday. Um on this break you kind of had you had your pick on Friday. You know I it was either hey go long NEG or BMR. You know I I focused on BMR because the volume and liquidity was so much higher. I was able to easily get myself into a position. Um, but you know, I um, NEG the volume was a little bit lighter and it was a little bit tougher for me to get a fill, which was kind of frustrating, but I was able to get my fill on BMR. Uh, and that thing ended up being a beauty. But NEG also ended up being a beauty. And now this is a very simple, straightforward setup. This is a, and again, this is all thanks to Mario and the AI for kind of, you know, identifying this is a bull flag. So there’s your bull flag on the chart. You had a breakout of that bull flag on Friday. Nice increase in volume. You’ll notice that you had increasing volume on the creation of the flag on the creation of the the bull flag or the flag pole. I’m sorry. Increasing volume on the flag pole, decreasing volume on the formation of the flag, and then increasing volume again on the breakout of the flag. That’s exactly what you want to see from uh a bull flag break. You have resistance up in the mid 90s on NEGGG that you didn’t quite get to on Friday that I think maybe you can probably get to. It’s just going to be a little resistance from back from 20 uh 20 uh 22. You have some resistance back there. But on a pullback, look for this $70 68 to 70. Look for this breakout point to be resistance on any pullback. So if you get a candle that looks like this, you look for that to be support and then see if you get a follow-through move there on NEG. All right, that’s again another NEG. It’s another little short squeeze. Low volume stock, so just be careful with position size and and fills. It might be difficult to get filled. I had a tough time getting executed on my orders. So just keep that in mind on NEG. All right, so we went over BMR, ALC, NEG, we went over HIMS. Now I want to talk to you guys about TTD. TTD had um just an absolute bloodbath of a day on Friday. Okay, the stock was down 39% after missing on their earnings. Um, and I just don’t think that this move to the downside is done. So, if you if you take a look at the last time you had bad earnings on TTD, the stock went down for a month straight. We got to welcome Yena, guys. Everybody welcome Yena.

So, we take a look back on here at the charts. TTD big gap down and we sold off for weeks at a time, right? This is a huge gap down. You sold off for weeks. I think this thing has more downside. I think you’re going to see TTD trade down into the 40s into the mid40s. So, I I’m looking to get short and stay short. I I I’m going to target like $48 or so. And let’s go in here to an intraday chart. Let’s try to look at some levels right here. Right there. I’m looking I’m looking for any bounce into 56. I’m looking for a short. So, if this thing opens up tomorrow and this thing hits right there, I’m going to look to short that. Look for this to drop back to the downside. I’m looking for this to go into the 50s. I mean, excuse me, into the 40s. I just don’t think that I think that that drop was so severe that the selling pressure does not finish after one day. I think you might get at least another two, maybe 3 days of downside. Who knows, maybe even more. You can see what happened to that stock back in February. Um, was just a blood bath. Now, what helped was in March, the whole market was selling off as well, and that’s why TTD continued to the downside. So, keep in mind if you got a higher than expected CPI number on Tuesday and the market wants to pull back, go and target the stock that’s already weak. This stock, if you get a hot CPI number, this stock most likely trades into the mid to high 40s by Wednesday. So, I’m going to be looking to short TTD. And then if the CPI number comes in hot, I’m definitely staying short TTD if that number comes in high. And then last but not least, we’re going to wrap things up here with Meta. This is going to be a stock that I’m going to look to play to the long side if we get some good news regarding CPI. And I’m going to look for this stock to pop back into the 780s. What you will notice is that Meta had a prior double top around 745 740. Okay, you had their earnings earnings gapped you up, dropped back down into retest that previous all-time high and it held. Now, here comes the 9 EMA working its way up inside of this consolidation. And I like this little support level that we’ve established right here around 760. See that little support level that we’ve established? Then you have a little bit of a downtrend resistance line. And I’m looking for Meta simply to do that. Okay. I’m looking for Meta simply to Oops. Where’d it go? I’m looking for Meta simply to do that. Okay. And if you get lighter than expected CPI data, right? If CPI comes in under expectations, then the probability of the rate hike goes to like 98% for September, the markets most likely rally. And I will then go long a stock that is already strong and that’ll be meta and we’ll look for meta up into the 780s if that number comes in lighter than expected. Okay, so there you guys have it. All right, that’s my watch list. you know, BMR, ALC, NEG, HMS, TTD, Meta, that’s what’s going to start off and obviously Ethereum, right, with that BMR position. So, that’s what’s going to start off on my watch list for the week. Okay. Then I will see what is that CPI number 8:30 Tuesday morning. Then I will either stay with this watch list or I will most likely be changing it. I’ll most likely be adding a bunch of different stocks to this list. Okay. So, if that number comes in hotter than expected or if that number comes in hotter than expected, I’m going to look to short um interest rate sensitive stocks. I’m going to short maybe some real estate related names. I’ll short some maybe green energy related names. I’ll also short some software names. If the numbers come in lower than expected, then I’m going to stay riding on the MAG uh the Medicap Tech and AI train. It’ll be Nvidia, it’ll be Meta, um it’ll be Alphabet, it’ll be Apple, it’ll be, you know, AMD, it’ll be all of those names. Okay, so my watch list for the remainder of the week depends on what happens with CPI Tuesday morning, but those are the stocks that are going to start out front and center on my screen tomorrow morning. So, hope you guys feel a lot more better prepared for the week. Hope you guys are excited and ready to get down with the business. I sure am. going to be a huge week with all this inflation data. The markets are at all-time highs. We’re either going to double top this thing or we are going to float to the upside. I cannot wait. I love the trade ideas that we got lined up with.
