 Alright guys, okay as you know I'm pretty transparent about my losses guys. The reason is because I'm in the educational business here. I'm not just trading for myself. I am trying to educate others to trade the way that we trade. And we, you know what man, it's fortunate that it's rare that I lose but when I lose sometimes it's fucking big, right? That's because I mean my loss is going to be bigger than my wins. That's the reality of it, you know? That's the way I trade but fortunately for every week that I make money I maybe lose one day, you know? I haven't lost in a few weeks so that's been good but you know it could have been much much worse. So yesterday what I did was I was on a great street guys. I was killing it basically for a while now and then I kind of got kind of greedy. I was telling Alex like, you know I didn't make enough, I didn't make enough. And so I started trading like stuff that I should not be trading normally. So the reason I became successful during the streak is because I was very disciplined to follow the process and yesterday I touched CARV and that thing carved me up. Thank goodness I only had 2,000 shares, you know? But the thing is this man I've maxed out my 2,000 shares and I am frantically looking for more size. Thank God that I could not find a low-key. That sucker read, dude I was in like very low, let me see what price I was in. I was in like a $20 line and it just flew to $40 bucks guys. You think about that man, who could survive that? 100% move on a large ticker item, right? I was in $40,000, I mean not $40,000, let me see what it's like, yeah. I mean it's just a $40,000 position, 2,000 shares short, $40,000 right? And I lost a point which is fucking not bad guys. If you think about it, I lost, actually no, I lost 10 points. Holy fuck, I lost 10 points guys. Because it halted up, it ran up and I'm sitting down 23,000 or something like that within the first hour. And I'm like fuck this sucks man. I was like the first thing that comes to your mind when you lose is I knew I shouldn't have, I shouldn't, you know? So it's funny because like when you win, you're like I knew it, I should have sized up. When you lose, you're like I knew it, I should have not sized up, you know? And so this is the mentality of a trader guys, it's just you can't avoid it man. When we win, when we win, hold on, let me check, I'm still trading, cool. When we win, it's never enough and then when we lose, it's too much, you know? So you have to find the discipline and we talked about this today actually, you know, be happy with what you have. They always say take what the market gives you, the answer is take what your process gives you. If you want to make more, maybe, you know, sizing up is not necessarily going to make you more. You know, figure out what you're doing wrong and getting rid of what you're doing wrong. So I've been avoiding plays like car of front side, CRV, low flow. Front side, no dilution, being pumped by every internet pump and dumper. What the fuck was I thinking? Especially the day before N-E-G-G-N-A was running. And so everyone's looking for the next runner. So all these things, I was like, I was very arrogant. I was like, I can, dude, I've been making money man, I'm not, you know? So I traded like 12 fucking stocks at the same time. I was like, dude, I just put fantasy orders everywhere. And so by the time I turn around, I'm like, what the fuck? Carved, halted up twice on me. I couldn't even get out. I mean, dude, the prices were insane. Each gap was $5 up. And so I was able to get out on the second gap up $10. I covered at the very top, guys. Let me let me fucking show you. It's fucking insane. Let me see. Oh, did I post my chart somewhere on that? I posted my chart on the middle part. So let me review. Okay, guys, this is a good thing. So look at where I freaking covered yesterday, guys, on carve. I got carved the fuck up. I shorted this shit at the $20 line. Cause that's, that's this, you know what man? That's the thing. I'd had no stops. I actually covered guys. I was down not that much here. I covered for a five point loss on 2000 shares. So it was only $10,000. And then what I did was I screwed it. I'm like, fuck, I might have covered the top. Right? So I did the right process where I covered. I shorted the pre-market highs and then I got out. I'm like, cool, I can make back 10,000 no problem. It was like a day of work. Oh man, I went back, guys. I went back and I started to scale. I'm like, what the fuck? And then it started to hold up and I'm sitting here like, I can't get out. And the first thing that goes through your mind is, what if it hits a hundred? You know, when you're deep stuff like this, I'm stuck 2000 shares, right? Stuck and I got out. Look at this. I got out at the freaking top. The moment I covered and hold it down. I had a tiny share of left I covered here. It halted down. I could have, I could have been up on this stock. So you think about this, my mind is a wreck. My mind is a wreck. I covered the top only to see it tank down and now I'm sitting here with a $23,000 loss. And it's only freaking like 10 a.m., right? It's only 10 a.m. And I'm sitting here. I'm here, dallying my skills, hating life, thinking I'm the dumbest guy. No heart stops, adding to a loser. What the fuck am I doing? The good news, the good news is, hey, I only lost 23,000, right? It's not the end of the world. I still, I'm still in the game. It's not like I lost $100,000. You know, the process that got me here was risk management, max daily loss. I think my max daily loss is 15,000 on each account. So I was, I was still able to trade. It hurt like hell. It's all relative, right? What hurt is, right? I mean, I made that during the week already. So it doesn't matter. But the point is when you lose something that big, you start to doubt yourself. You're like, what am I doing? Can I trade anymore? Like, so you become PTSD, post-traumatic, stock disorder, post-traumatic, post-traumatic, post-traumatic, stock disorder, PTSD, post-traumatic, stock disorder. Cause now you're afraid to place the short. I am fucking afraid to place the short. Cause I'm like, what if the next dog does the same thing? Then I remind myself, wow. Let's take a look at my whole day. So I'm looking at all of my trades and I saw that the only stock I lost on like that was card. And I had no business trading that stock that day. Even Alex warned me. And I was so arrogant to think that, hey man, cause I was up, I was up, and I'm up on the week. I don't give a fuck, you know? I'm the best, you know? Whatever. And they just card me up. And so I looked back and examined. So what I did was I told the guys, you saw this. So let me, let me show you what I showed the guys. So this is why you guys are in MIC guys. We don't hide shit. I basically, this is yesterday. I said that this is as bad as you will see me trade. You see how embarrassing I stopped out at the top. You know, as a, as the supposed leader, how embarrassing to have a chart that looks like this. It's so embarrassing, man. I felt like a loser, you know? But I always remind myself, one bad trade does not make you a bad trader. One good trade does not make you a good trader. So what I did was I, I did not shy from it. I did not blame the Algos. I did not blame manipulation like some of these other Twitter guys. These Twitter guys don't fucking learn. You know, man, they think that the best arrogance is what causes you to go broke. I admit I'm not the best. I fuck up when I fuck up, when I mess up, I admit it. I owned the loss and I told the guys, I showed you the guys the ugliest chart ever. Stopping out at the top. Ah, and then I even showed the P and L down 23,000. And I'm sitting there like, what the fuck? What the fuck? So I used it to have a lesson guys. So instead of, you know, you can ignore the loss, blame it on Algos, blame it on manipulation. But I'm like, you know what, man? I'm a real trader, real traders lose. It doesn't hurt me, my ego. It does hurt, but I'm like, dude, I'm working these things out of my mind because you know what? Day trading is very much mental. Oh, shit, let me put it in there. I'm not gonna tell you how to trade so you don't fucking see it. Trading is pretty much mental. It's a huge mental game. The moment you lose confidence, you start to doubt your abilities and you start to not place trades and you scare it, but then I looked at my trades and I'm like, if I had just avoided the stupid ass stock, I'd be okay. So I basically worked in my head. So what I did was I made it a point to understand why I lost and not shy away from the reason. I put a fence around what I did. So now I don't fucking do it. So today I did not even touch the hot chicks. Right, I let those do it. I told myself, only low hangers. So you get, so when you lose, you go back to your bread and butter. You go back to what made you successful. Day one, low flows of fucking avoid the front side short. What made me successful is avoiding those, sticking to the low hanging fruit, sticking to the broken charts. So today I went back to it and I actually did that yesterday. So I cleared up my mind and I forgot about it. And so L M F A came and I just destroyed that stock yesterday and I made back a lot of losses. Yesterday let me show you what I did. So the moment that I admitted I lost on carve, the moment I educated the guys the reason why, the moment I made a rule to not touch those types of stocks again, I'm able to clear my brain. And all of a sudden L M F A came and I just destroyed that stock. I went to what I did best, channel trading. You know, as you know, I didn't fucking go crazy. This is a known stock that was a piece of shit before. Carve is a known stock to carve people up. L M F A, if you are patient on the outer lines, you can make money. Cause you know, the trend is usually spikes back down. I traded the stock in the past. I made a lot of money in the past. So I have confidence in the stock. And once again, look at those insane candles like someone says, look, I just raked it. And today, similarly, the same thing, L M F A. Look at this top tech each yellow cover all the way down. Oh shit, I'm in the stock. No, I covered it. Oh, that was something else. But uh, so what did I do guys? I, when you make a loss, own the loss, do not blame it on the algo manipulation on that. It, you are the fucking guy that pushed up on. Okay, now what do you learn? What do you do from it? You can either ignore it and make the same mistake over and over or own it to create a role, to create a fence around your process. So that doesn't happen again. Okay, the fence could be as simple as having a tab remind you daily. Alex even told me, Alex says, I should have screamed harder at you, pal. It may or may not work. I told Alex, I never, I never locate any stock that is priced 10 cents or above. Today, this, this time, I got some sort of ballsy, ballsy confidence that I've located as fucking a 20 cent stock. What the fuck am I doing? I'm already down 20 cents when I'm located. So the rule thumb for me is I want to get back to that rule. I never fucking located anything more than 10 cents. If it costs 10 cents, I don't give a fuck if I want to make money on that. Avoid it for me. That used to be my rule. I broke that rule one time. Alex knows I'm a cheap guy when it comes to locates. Alex will pay a dollar to bake fucking $5. But the way I trade, I'm not going to fucking hold that shit to make $5. And so getting a dollar locate costs, it's going to ruin me. Cause I know if that price like that, you have to work the range. If you are too early, you will get destroyed. How do you make back a dollar? You know, like I gave it to Alex. He fucking made me locate shit for 60 cents a dollar. He still makes money. I can't do it. So I made a rule. So these are the rules that you do for yourself. Everybody has a different thing for me. If I see the cost of the locates more than 10 cents, I don't touch it. Cause I know some, it's the range is so huge. And I know I have FOMO. I have more FOMO and less discipline sometimes, right? And there's like 10 other stocks I was trading. What the fuck was I doing? So you know what? Today I did. So I realized that. So what I did was I, today I told Alex, don't short carve, short the sympathy. C-O-H-N. Now let me show you what I did. So I didn't touch carved. Carved, carved me up, man. You know, I'm not going to go back to the bully and it costs 60 cents to locate that stock. Cone cost me two cents. Two cents. And take a look. Cone, much easier. I'll give you the biggest trick right now. Do not ever touch the main stock, the head. If there is a sympathy runner and you're short by a seller, do not short the head of the snake. Short the sympathy. The reason is sympathies run much less. Sympathies run much less and take much further. So the opportunity costs. Oh my God, let me see. You can see the prices right here. This thing, I shorted all the way up to $24. The lowest cover was freaking 29 bucks, $28, $29. 28 something, 28 bucks. Unbelievable range. What was I doing fucking with carve? Let me bring up carve today. If I had touched carve again, I would have got destroyed. Holy shit. My carve ran all the way up to 42. Holy shit. 42 from 27. I would have been scaling here, stopping out here. Oh shit. This fucking shit is so good, it crashed my DOS. Let me bring it up again. It's weird, man. My DOS been crashing lately like that, just randomly. I don't know why. Anybody have any problems like that? If you have problems like that, let me know. See if we can cure it somehow. So let me bring up that carve again. Would have been destroyed, guys. I would have been destroyed. It came back down eventually. I would have made the same mistake. I would have covered the top. It drops, I'm fucking dead. So my rule for myself, my rule for myself is this, guys. If a stalk beats me the fuck up, I have PTSD. I can't go back to trade it, seriously dude. It's like looking at a bully that just kicked your ass the day before. Every time I see the bully, I'm like fucking scared, right? So why the fuck am I gonna go back to the bully? What I'm gonna do is beat up this bully sidekick. And the bully sidekick today was Cone, C-O-H-N. That's a sympathy play. The bully kicked my ass. I'm gonna kick his entourage's ass because his sidekick is not gonna be as big as him. I, today I whooped all of fucking the bully sidekick entourage. And I stuck to the low hangers. I told the guys, stick to the low hangers. You know what, man? And all of a sudden I look at my P and I'm like, dude, I'm still the past two days I'm green. I went from a $23,000 loss to green and I did not just revenge trade a single time. The best thing that I did was I took that loss. The moment I took that loss, I'm relieved because I know exactly how much I lost. When you're in that stock, you panic. You can't do anything. You make errors upon errors. One error will lead to five errors. So the moment I took that loss to be honest, I felt fucking great. I looked at my losses and it was like 23,000. So this is a trick I do, guys. 23,000, I have two accounts I can trade. So I just need to make back 12,000 each account. That doesn't see that much anymore, right guys? 12,000 each account, not bad. 23,000 is a lot. 12,000 each account is fucking not bad. And not only that, I'm like, if I just make 3,000 a day, 4,000 a day on each account, which I do every day knock on wood, right? I can do that. I can do that. It doesn't mean I do it, but I can do that, right? I can make more, make less, but I can very realistically make three or 4,000 each account every day, knock on wood. So that comes out to me just in three days. I can make back my money in three days. So that 23,000 doesn't see that bad anymore. It seems like, okay, I fucked up. It's gonna cost me three days because I fucked up and I'm okay with it. Turns out it only took me fucking two days, one day to make it back, guys. So you break down. So that's another trick. If you want to make $100,000, it seems a lot, man, but when you break it down into, let's say, weeks or months, 100,000 is 9,000, eight or 9,000 a month. That's 2,000 a week. That is 2,000 divided by five days. That's dude, only four in a box a day. What the fuck? To make 100,000, are you gonna need $4,000 a day? You see? You see how much now it's much simpler to get to 100,000 than think 100,000? So which leads me to my Twitter, which I always point everybody back to. You be surprised, guys, look at this, man. That is how I bounce back. I bounce back by realizing what I did wrong, own my losses, and then broke down the loss into more realistic goals. So goals, goals, you know, you make the big goals, the big dream goals, but then you have to have mini milestones along the way. Make milestones along the way. You don't just go from zero to 100,000. You go from zero to 400 bucks a day, and then 2,000 a week, and then at the end of the month, you're like, holy shit, I'm up $8,000, $9,000. Holy cow! Just by doing the $400 a day. You know, consistency is the key, man. So that's how I did it, guys. You know, I broke, I first admitted I lost, I figured out why. The important thing is you have to figure out why you lost, and make a plan on why you lost, and then make a strategy to make it back. 23,000, if I keep thinking 23,000, that's a lot of money. But now I'm thinking, hey, I can make across two accounts, three days. Now I'm like relaxed, I'm like, holy, I need to make 3,000 a day, 4,000, which is, you know, I normally do that easily. Anyway, it's not going good, but. So today, you know what I'm like, dude, I doubled triple that, so I'm good, man. I'm actually now, I'm green. These two days stretch, I'm fucking green. From being down 23,000, not revenge trading. These are not big accounts either, guys. I'm trading a realistically small account for educational wise. And then, but during that time, this is how I got killed. I got killed because I was telling Alex, like, fuck, man. Why don't I just put millions back in my account? These guys are fucking trading millions up and down, losing 100,000 up to down. And I'm reminding you why I'm like, dude, man, the moment I started thinking that way, I started to lose, forcing trades. So, you know what, man, stay within your lane. These are rich people probably, Alex says, but it could be anything. If you're down $1,000, break that down into realistic goals. I, you just need to make $300 a day, guys. To make $1,000, you just make $300 a day. To make $100, I mean, $1,000 a week. $200 a day for one week. You know, it makes things like, oh, that's great. So you want to learn how to day trade. Do it in steps. First, I need to learn the platform. I need to learn level two. That's why we have videos. We have the face study guide. We have all the, and we have the accelerator. We have all that, guys. So trading is a big, big hurdle, you know? But if you break it down to mini steps, oh my God. It's like, that's like learning a foreign language, guys. You don't, and you don't learn all of things in one day or one week or one month, man. This is a course of months, you know? Some people take years, but then when you make it, it's like unbelievable. You know, Alex took eight years. You know, I'm in my fucking second decade of trading. You know, this is, you know, I didn't just wake up one day and become a superstar. You know, I made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot of losses, but you know, I bounce back, guys. I bounce back because, you know what, man, you never see me blame other people for my losses. You take a look at my Twitter, man. No, once ever, it's called this manipulation play. I never blamed on bad algo. I'm like, dude, you're the guy that made the fucking trade. When I'm banking money, when you're banking money, you're not fucking saying that. You banked because it was a manipulation. You banked because it's a manipulation. The fact that it's been manipulated is how you make money. That's how we make money as traders. If a stock is fucking not manipulated, it's gonna be flat line. There's no money to be made. Money is made upon fucking movements in the stock market. And it moves because no one knows the real price of the worth of the stock. The stock is only worth what you wanted to pay. And the deviation and the true value and the over and the under, that's how we make our money. We make our money not because the fucking, the stock is trading at the value that's supposed to trade at. That means fucking nothing to trade. We make money off of errors, off of fucking people think this stock is worth more or less. We make money because it's manipulation. The whole market is manipulated. Just shut the fuck up and stop talking about manipulation because the whole market is manipulated. The analysts are doing upgrades, ups and downs. We are pumping and dumping, not me, but other people, it doesn't matter. Even I'm manipulating sometimes. The moment that we make, when I put a bid out and I have bigger size, that's manipulation in a way. Why are we trying to scare people? We don't do it like they on their extent, but the fact that I talk about, this is a low hanging fruit, people are looking to short it. So I love manipulation. Without manipulation, no trader will make money consistently. I consistently make money. Alex consistently makes money. MIC members who learn make consistent money because we know it's manipulated. We are following the manipulation patterns. Okay? So how do you make money, guys? There you go. You make money because you know what, man? You're disciplined, you're disciplined and you're disciplined and you have proper risk. So even on my worst days, guys, I didn't fucking lose that much. $23,000 made me seem like much, but the way I trade, the way Alex trade, we can make that back in a day or two. I planned on making it in three days, but thank God, it only took a day, right? Two days, so I'm good. So that's how it is. So let me bring on any questions. Hey, Tosh, you there? It's been a while since I brought Tosh. Raise your hand, Tosh. This is your man, guys, so you guys want to learn this stuff? Where are you, buddy? Waiting for Tosh's hand so I can add him. Still don't wake up, Tosh. Is he not calling? Oh, there you go. I'm gonna bring Tosh on, man. So now you can talk and I can trade. Hey! What's up, dude? Where are you going? Oh, man, I went for a quick drive to listen to the IG, going to my favorite, what's it called? Smoothie spot, juice core in Arizona for anybody who knows. What's up, dudes? Okay, as long as you're not going to steal my girl, you're good. I haven't been driving a long way, bro. But you got a fast car, bro. Move quick. What's up, man? How you guys doing? Hey, so people haven't seen you in a long time because we don't bring you on. You're the man behind the scenes helping people with all the mentor calls and mentorship calls. So tell us that rule that you do for MIC, because that reminds people, that's very important. Because whenever someone's in trouble, that needs to learn to trade, I always send a Tosh. Tosh is the guy that listens to you because he helps you with your problems, so. Bro, I've always been a patient person. I'm just really patient with whether it's trading. That's why I think swing trading is really so fun for me, is I'm just really a patient person. So when we're in MIC, guys, the beauty about me, Alex Bowen, team of 20 plus moderators is the fact that everybody's good at what they do, right? So anybody that has questions, man, send it to me because we can talk it out. And the thing that I made famous over the years, or I tried to at least, is my incessant hard stop reminders. Because, dude, without hard stops, you're fucked. And what Bowen was talking about, man, you just get carved up. And like, Bow, I think you didn't even have a hard stop on carved, right? That's why it kind of carved you up, right? And the thing that I've noticed, man, is I do this, dude. I've actually, just to kind of give you a little bit of insight into my life, dude, I've lately been a little depressed in my personal life because I want things so quickly. There's always someone to compare it to, bro. There's always someone doing better than you. There's someone better looking than you. There's someone that can get better girls than you. There's always something better. And I've been comparing myself, but in that, I've been trying to go too quick. And I see a lot of new members, man. They try to go so freaking quickly, bro. They try to rush the process. They try to get rich quick. They fucking get into crypto because they think they're gonna be, when Lambo overnight, the point is in life, man. The second you get out of routine, which I've done lately in my personal life, bro, and I'm not even talking about trading. I'm talking about literally just fucking pure happiness. And things that make me happy, it's very hard. And the thing that we wanted to discuss there, because I was telling Bal and Alex earlier, is dude, I got it out of my routine and I kind of lost myself this week. And I was like, whoa, I need to get back to reality. I need to get back to being happy, dude. There's nothing trading related. You can tie it into trading because everything is fucking trading related. I can see uptick and downtick on a mountain range. But the point is, I don't want you guys rushing. I don't want you guys trying to be something you're not immediately. I want you guys to take it slow. If you need help reach out to me, reach out to our team, I'm going to preach hard stops because the minute you go, I don't need a hard stop. Guess what's going to happen? You're going to set yourself back because you tried to rush. You tried to get a home run. So there's so much that it was, Dave Rods there, we got to go to Vegas? Dude, Dave Rods, Vegas ain't ready for you and me and Bal in the same room, bro. Alex too, uh-uh. But if anything, guys, it's a good check-in back to the mental side. You got to take care of you. You got to take care of your happiness. You got to take care of your routine, your discipline, and your trading. And it's all going to show up in your trading. Josh, I forgot that. You're absolutely right. So I'll tell you what I did different this week that made me so sharp and Alex pointed out, you know, man, I took a long break from not working out. You know that? Yeah, I, I, I, before I went up, yeah. And so the moment I started working out this week, oh my God, man, I felt great, dude. My mind has never been sharper. And this is how I'm able to fucking trade so well. Bro, it's crazy, right? The minute you get out of that stuff, bro, I haven't, I haven't golfed in months. I haven't gotten a smoothie in months. So I was like, God, I got to get back to my roots. I've just been so focused on building or, or, um, you know, whatever, man. I've just been so focused on other things. I'm like, oh shit, what's my normal routine that keeps me happy in my day to day life? That's going to make me a better trader. Correct. It always does. It always fucking does. Man, because we, we are all so busy, man. We work our ass off for MIC, right? And so sometimes we, we, we like, dude, man, why not MIC have more people? Why people quitting? Why, when I'm looking at other rooms or it's purely pumping dump, like bunch of fucking idiots. They're the worst traders in the world, right? But they have more people joining. And it's not because of money that I'm pissed. It's more of like, it's more of like, I'm sad that we work so hard and teaching people how to trade correctly that these people don't give a fuck. All they care about being pumped to, and they're okay with that. And so it makes us depressed. So, and so you get in this spiral where you are so focused on one thing. So I don't like the fact that these, some people keep saying like, hey, you should study 24 hours in the stock. It doesn't work like that, man. We are not, we are not a robot. We, we need our- Bro, I've been saying that. Val, I was saying the exact same thing as like when I first started studying trading, bro, I obsessed. And when I mean obsessed, dude, I broke up with a girlfriend and do it. I quit my job to do it because I had money saved up to learn. I pulled money off credit cards, bro, to borrow so I could have more P.E.T. account. I went so down the rabbit hole so quickly, it became an unhealthy addiction. And I studied charts 18 hours that I couldn't sleep. I couldn't fucking sleep. And it got me there quicker, but dude, it's so much of a cost to my health and happiness seven years ago. I don't recommend that. I recommend you get in, you know, hopefully MIC because I think we do the best work by a landslide or a wide margin. And you do take it slow and you give to yourself in a normal progression and evolving of what's... I was on a phone call with a trader yesterday, bro. I said, oh, Stitch, shut out, Stitch. Stitch is doing good. I said, Stitch, you're trying to rush the process, bro. I said, it's gonna be a hundred years, the stock market's gonna be here. Why are you trying to get Lamborghinis tomorrow, man? I said, bro, it's gonna be here for a hundred years. And, pal, the thing about this industry and it makes me really sad, bro, it really makes me sad. I'm just gonna lay it all out there. It makes me fucking sad, is how toxic this industry can be. And social media and you go on Twitter. And like you said, man, you're talking about process, bro. You're talking about things that make sense to professional traders, things that make sense if you use common sense. All these guys talking about manipulation and outlet, bro. The whole stock market is fucking manipulate. We wouldn't make money without manipulation and taking advantage of the edge of stupidity. But they complain because they're trying to sell a product or they're trying to do something that is, it takes away from the human nature. And this industry, bro, is like, it's so against so much of the stuff that we preach and social media. I gotta tell you, bro, I got a soft heart. I'm kind of fragile that way. I'm an emotional, it bums me the fuck out, dude. Because we work so hard to shed light on how people should really do it and what's right, it fucking burns me out, bro. It burns me out. So that's the thing, guys. So my recommendation to Todd, who would work for me, try to get back, get you back, bro. Go play golf, go work out, just take it to the off. Sometimes you gotta take days off, guys, seriously, man. You don't wanna get burnt out in this industry. Trading will always be here. I always tell people, take care of your personal life because if your personal life is a wreck and chaos, so your trading is going to be wrecked. If you're fighting your fucking girlfriend the night before, I guarantee you, you'll be doing some dumb ass shit. You're not thinking clearly. So the moment I got rid of my toxic personal stuff, God knows I'm gonna talk to human beings sometimes, right? So I can't get rid of myself. So I gotta get rid of other people, but you know what it is? That's what I think. When I see people think, you can focus, guys, but make sure your personal life is healthy and that's what's working for me this week. The fact that I was okay to lose in 23,000s, I'm looking at it as my bigger perspective. I'm working out. I feel great. I'm like, what the fuck do I have to complain about? At least I have $23,000 to lose. There's always a way to look at something right now. There's always another, like, Like you, I'll give you an example for everybody. Tax, man, everyone has to pay taxes. And so if you're paying a giant ass check to the IRS, it means you're making a shit ton of money. It's a blessing, right? It's a blessing. We get so narrow-minded and like, I got crushed this year on tax. And it bums you out for a minute until you realize, wait, this is a blessing to write a big check to these fuckers, to these no-bats. Do you know what? I had traders, you know, Tosh, that never pay tax on stock trades because they never made money. And they were so happy the very first time they got a fucking IRS bill for it. Or their first wire out. Like, dude, it brings me so much happiness when we get a member and he, like, frames his first wire out. He's like, dude, this is, like, Cobra's on it or, like, TZ or whatever. And it's like the check. It's like, I got a wire out for my un-profits and that's so cool, man. So make a goal. Make a goal to be able to get a giant-ass IRS bill. That means you're making some money, bro. Yeah, because, and, like, what I would recommend to everybody as well is, like, stop focusing on just the money. This whole IG Live is to put perspective of the human connection, man, is who you are as people. And it's beyond money. It's about processes. It's about happiness. Get the fuck off social media as much as you can do and stop comparing your life to other people because, bro, I do that every day. And I'm like, God, man, I do good for a 30-year-old, but look at this fucking guy. Look at this 24-year-old. Look at this 18-year-old. And then I'm like, whoa, whoa. And now I'm looking outside myself and now my happiness is gone and my training sucks after that. You know what I mean? It's like your next girlfriend coming back in your life, bro. Yeah, don't compare yourself to those Nepal brothers. They're 24 years old and they're just a duty to be. And they run the world, bro. They run the frickin' world. Hey, though, we need to call social gloves and get a trader boxing. They did TikTok and YouTube. Now we need to do trader boxing. Yeah, seriously. I'm down. Let me fight the furus. Holy shit. Dude, I will literally, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, boxing match. Me against the furus. Bro, that's so sick. That was always wanted to trade against the furus. I've always wanted to actually beat them up. So I'll go in the ring with the furus. Who do you want to be bashed up against? We won't go there, bro. But dude. Dude, I'm getting red over it. I'm like getting excited. I'm getting heated. But that's it, guys. I mean, I wanted to share you the fact that we all lose. People, I've noticed this, man. I win too much knock on wood. But it's not because I win. I work hard and I post these charts and I notice there's less interaction. Because people don't relate to that, man. When I lose, people relate to that shit more. And so I'm glad that. I'm not glad I lose, but I'm glad the fact that when I do lose, I'm able to reach out. And I'm not a dick to say that it was blaming on other shit, like out goes, right? I own the loss and I make a video and I help the people do it. That's the whole thing. Bro, it's like rear-ending a car in front of you and blaming the traffic light. It's like, no, dude, you rear-ended the car. You lost on car valve because you broke process. And what happened when you got back to process, bro? You almost made 23,000 back, bro. That's the point. It's like, if we take responsibility. Yeah, exactly. Whatever you make, yeah. We have to take responsibility for our lives. I made 30,000 backerates. I'm good. Yeah, so it didn't take six days of work. It took one. The point is taking our lives back, taking our happiness back, getting back to what works. I think that's what this whole, and it was good, man. And you need people to reach out to, man. Bow was having a hard time mentally last week. I was having one this week, and this is why we pick ourselves up, man. We remember why we did it. We remember why we do it. This is why you have tabs. Tab is not there just to talk about technical stocks. A tab is your fucking human connection to fucking trading. Because trading is lonely, man. I'm fucking looking at me, man. I'm fucking by myself in this giant ass place. I mean, who the fuck am I gonna share shit with, right? So it's fucking lonely. People have no idea, bro. They see the memes. They see us joking around. They think, oh, these people or other people are just 100% happy all the time. Dude, I'm fucking lonely as shit, bro. I live in a city where I got a couple family members. I don't have too many physical friends here, meaning like I got online friends, but, and of course, thank God for MIC friends, but dude, I don't have friends that I could just go to his house this weekend. And it's because I moved to state where I wasn't happy in that state, and he was taking so much of my mental, it was just causing me mental anguish every single day, bro, that it was an aggressive city. And when I get charged, I'm a really emotional, aggressive person. People can pull that out of me, and LA brought that out of me, bro. So I one day said, I gotta get up and out of here, bro, for my health, for my, for my, so I'm a really, like you can pull the Hulk out of me, man. It's there, but I don't want it to be there. So I went to a very neutral kind of Switzerland city, but I'm lonely. So I get depressed every now and then. It's not all fucking fun and games. It's not all fairytale rainbows. You've got life is brutal. The life is brutal and mental is even more brutal. So you've got to stay in your discipline. Farms just crashed down to 30 bucks. Fuck. Did it? Oh shit. I'm like, I was like, I didn't find any low-case cheaps. I was like, I'm not going to go back to the bull. I'm happy with what I did today. But that's the thing, guys. We're human beings, guys. We have the luxury to be able to work anywhere because we're traders, right? Correct. Let's take advantage of that, but at the same time, it's lonely. And so that's why we have the TAP program, you know? You get rid of my TAP, I was my TAP, the MIC is my TAP. And so when you lonely, focus your channel on the people that matter, right? And so like, I told Toss, when he's sad, call up a fucking, there's so many guys that want to be helped. Gosh, so many being mentioned, call them up. The moment you talk to them, you feel fucking great. Remember what we talk about every day, man? We get these messages of members thanking us for changing their lives. And it reminds us, it keeps us going, man, because I wake up, I don't want to wake up. Toss, you just started working, girl. I've been doing this for two decades. I don't want to wake up, bro. I'm tired. I want to jump into my friend, G4, and just go with him. Seriously, guys. That looks at me and Alex like you fucking kids, dude. You barely started in the workforce. He's like, I'm retired. Like today, when I told you I posted that fucking picture, I'm like, dude, I should be on that fucking phone with him. You had the G4? She's taking a fucking private jet to a fucking Europe right now. You know what I'm saying, man? I'm like, dude, I don't want to wake up with any shit, but you know what, man, we all want to. We all have to do what we have to do. We have responsibilities. And so I don't have time to feel sad about myself, because I'm helping people. And look at this, man. People are thanking you, Toss. I wanted to bring Toss on today to remind him how loved he is, how important he is. There's nothing to be feeling sad about. The problem is we are very entitled, and we have time to feel sad. When I was living in, when I was in the third world those guys don't have time to be sad. Sadness is a part of life. Well, that's survival mode over there, you know what I mean? That's what they don't fucking have to. We are spoiled as fuck. Sadness is an entitlement in America. Crying about complaining about paying too much taxes, what do we do? So people don't even have fucking money. Dude, it's- Toss, let me show you a risk. Show people what's on your wrist. You have it? Just shut the fuck up right now. Pull up your sleeve and show people what's on your wrist. Shut the fuck up. Show the car you're driving in. Shut the fuck up, right? And I'm here crying, I'm on the fucking pen house balcony and I'm fucking crying. I'm like I want to jump out of my movie to boo boo boo boo boo. Do you know what I'm talking about? You know what man? I think the beauty of these reminders though is the beauty of everything is the fact that it gets back to we're flesh and blood. We have down days. I have days due where I don't want to fucking wake up. I got days where I just want to fuck in, just be away from people. I got days where I'm super happy, ex-girlfriend hits me up, there's still ties there, bro. It fucks me up. The IRS takes half my money. It fucks me up. We are human. When you try to run away from that stuff, you're fucked. I get lonely. You have to admit these things to yourself, bro. You know what it is? This is the pain of leveling up. Congratulations. I had to use my other hand for something else. You just leveled up. This is the new problem. Each level comes with different problems. You imagine three, four years ago, you were dreaming to be in this situation. And now you're in this situation. No, it's true, bro. It's true, man. I remember three years ago, bro. I didn't even know how relationships work. I was still getting trained and started. I was like, dude. I was in debt. I was in debt. I was in debt before shit. So you level up wherever you were in life. That's my point. I'm just giving the number of years and I don't know the exact year. But you see what I'm saying? Each level presents itself with different sets of problems. So to ground yourself, you think back the last time you leveled up and you just preying. So I'm like, you know, what I'm talking about, so I'll give you an example. This is dumb as shit, right? I made $4,000 or $7,000 the other day. I'm telling Alex like, dude, I'm not happy. I'm like, what the fuck? I should be making a lot more. And then Alex shut the fuck up. And that's what caused me to have the next day of $23,000 a lot. I was not happy with making $7,000. Because I saw some dumbass motherfucker on Twitter make a hundred grand. So it's weird. And it's weird, too, Bao, because I feel like, bro, I get like you. Sometimes I almost feel like we subconsciously take those big L's, bro. I swear to God. So we can get back to building up the happiness again because it's weird, man. It's like a plan. Like if you just focus on money and financial gain, dude, like life's miserable. Like life is fucking miserable. And I feel like if you get to those levels where you're like, dude, I'm fucking king of the L. I got the biggest dick in the room. I can't not trade correctly or whatever you do, whatever you do. I almost feel like sometimes we subconsciously like nick ourselves or jab ourselves so we can get back to, oh, fundamentals, basics. Let me put a new goal up. This is why we try not to just live in money and we're in an industry where it is the most superficial industry in the world where everybody just wants to make money. That's why I love this human connection shit is like, what's going to be that thing that brings you back to a process of happiness, process of human. You remember I told you earlier, this is why I make it a point to every week, walk in around Costco, you know, that. Everybody finds what they relate to when they were a kid with no money and they're just a being a normal human being when I walk, when I walk into fucking Costco, I'm like, for 4,000, 7,000, I can buy the whole fucking plane. Dude, literally. I can buy toilet paper for the whole village in Vietnam. And so what the fuck? So I'm looking around. Oh, you complain because you don't have a Louis Vuitton fucking belt. Costco zone built for five dollars. Dude, I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, bro, like I fucking hate designer. I hate it. I bought a Rolex that was the one thing because my grandpa had a really nice watch and watches were kind of prevalent throughout my fit. I fucking hate designer, bro. Rolex is the only thing I'll wear design. I'll never buy it. Bro, look at this fucking shit. How do I switch the screen? I live in fucking basketball shorts, converse, bro. I couldn't afford anything I want. I'll buy designer hat, bro. Am I see, baby? It's such a waste of money, bro. And it brings people out of the again, out of the human connection belt. If you and I were walking down an airport, right? The way you and I dress is identical. People would think we're dirt poor, dirt poor, except the watch, except you and I both have a Rolex, except the watch is the point is the point is, is again, this fucking society, bro, where everybody compares themselves, he got the Louis wallet, he got the Louis Vuitton purse, whatever. I gotta get that shit. And it just brings us out of this human shit, dude. And it makes me want to shake people. Makes me want to shake myself because there are some forms I compare. This is why I slapped you and brought you back to earth today. I go, what the fuck you crying about? What's on your wrist? What's on your driving? And so I walk. So you, we, I'm telling you, as a trader, I'm looking at numbers on the street. It's meaningless. Yeah. Like that's why Alex has $100 of $1 bills on his desk. To remind him that's 500. Dude, don't give me story. That strippers are fucking begging for a dollar tip. So whatever it may be that brings you back down to reality for me is walking Costco and buying where the fuck I want to buy. So I treat myself on a weekly Costco trip just by dumb ass shit. And I'm like, I can't even fucking spend more than fucking a thousand or two thousand buying expensive shit, right? Like Costco, a thousand dollars. I'm like, what the fuck are they going to buy, man? You know, literally. Yeah. And so you have to remind yourself and bring back. So you're, you're all going to get into a situation where even making $200 of supplemental income, you don't know what the fuck. But that's life changing. Walk into every restaurant, any restaurant, like a regular restaurant, order anything you fucking want. That is life changing. That was my goal when I was a youngster to be able to be able because my mom never let me buy expensive shit at the fucking restaurant. We went to Denny's was the only fucking restaurant we ever went to. And we can only buy like the five dollar breakfast special, whatever the fucking may be, right? No, so that's childhood for you, bro. That's like feeling childhood. Yeah. No, I get that. And everybody's got a different outlet of that, right? And, and it's just, I love that, man. I love that. Cause again, you're getting back to what's healthy for Bow. And this week, man, I kind of lost sight of my happiness. I was just like, fuck, dude. Bow Alex, I'm kind of losing my mind. Dude, I'm like, I feel myself just like kind of like in this rat race in my head. And I'm not talking about work. I'm not talking about anything like that. It just, it was more of like an energetic thing. And I was like, bro, like I need help as a tab partner, like not a trading partner. I need help as like a brother, as like a friend, dude. I'm like, I'm like really like hit my limit in my head this week, dude. Like what, what, what am I not seeing? And we all have this, bro. That's that we're not, we're not those communities where you don't know who's teaching you. You don't know who these fucking guys are. They're, they're plastered behind and they're actors and they don't fucking do the shit that whatever we're real people. And we, and we go through trials and tribulations or we have great times and, and we try to teach you guys through the trial by fire that we go through. And if you think it's just all fucking rainbows and leprechauns and shit all day, well, you got a rude awakening coming because that's not life. That's not life. Like I said, man, be, be careful what you wish for in life guys. Each level presents itself. Each leveling up presents itself with a new set of problems. You level one more time. Tosh, I guarantee you, you're not going to have any friends because most friends will never relate to you just like me and Alex. Right. I mean, fuck man, no one buys me a birthday gift. No one's going to be a birthday party. No one's thinking, but you know what I do? I buy every fucking Christmas gift. I've never got a fucking Christmas gift. They're like, do I need to get to about what do I need to give a guy that everything you know, I want, I want to fucking just you to appreciate you can give me anything you fucking want, but just, just, just to have the thought so every level has a different fucking, you know, dude, I got to tell you something about this. That hit home for me, bro, because a couple years ago was the first time and I got some friends who make some good money. It was the first time ever out of all my friends back home. I mean, I got a couple here. They're not like great friends yet, but like, like all my friends all over. It was the first time I was like, wow, I definitely make like a lot more money than any of my friends, even a lot of family members. And when they start fucking hitting you up for just that shit, just advice, just help, never how you do a never normal, never human connection, just because they want something. That's the level that you're talking about. And I suffered some real problems with that mentally, man. I was like, wow, motherfucker, you only hit me up now asking for stock advice. What happened when we were best friends for 15 years and now you don't even hit me up outside of a stock tip? And I'm like, because they don't relate to you anymore. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And it's like boo, who us, we're doing well. But seriously, man, there's light and dark with everything in life. And the more you level up with everything comes a form of sacrifice. And I get it. And I can only imagine, dude, at your level, because fuck, you know, I'm 30 years old now. You've got you've got plenty of years of experience. You've got plenty of years of experience, brother. You got keep it to you. You got, dude, you look 18, you got plenty of years of experience above me and Alex, that is that is wisdom, that is being wise, that is hitting these levels, hitting plateaus where we haven't even hit yet, dude, and I'm not talking about financially. I just mean life and learning different experiences. And bro, with each plateau comes extraordinary sacrifice, whether you do it or the people around you do it to you. It's crazy. It's fucking crazy. Welcome to the next level, Tosh. Welcome to the next level. These are the growing pains, right? Now you know, man. Growing pains, bro. Yeah, so I wish I was growing up fucking short now. I just gave me some. Dude, dude, I heard something the other day. Bro, I heard something the other day that was kind of funny. It was like it was like Red Pill or Blue Pill Matrix type shit. It was like, oh, what was it? It was like if you take the Red Pill, you get to go back to like 15 years old but know everything you know now, but you have to redo your life over. Like, you don't have your kids. You don't have your family that you know. I was like, dude, let me go back. I thought shit. I was like, later, dude. But the fact that we can't, the fact that we cannot guys, you cannot cry about the past. Because the only thing you do is learn from the past. Remember what we say, man, either we win or we learn. When are we learn? When are we learn? And the beauty about the reason why I brought that up now is while we can't take that Red Pill and go back to 15 years old. With all the knowledge we have now, we can teach the 15-year-olds plus whatever the knowledge that we know now. I'm old. I have to take the Red, the Blue Pill once in a while. It is a fact of life. You wait till you get to my age, bro. Oh, shit. The young guys are going to have no idea what you're talking about. The old dudes are going to be like, I got to take the Blue Pill, too. Dude, bro, my dad, he's such a comedian, man. He's more of a friend than a father. And, bro, he was cracking me up for years because he was like, he was really big on bumble back when him and my mom divorced me. And I'd be like, Dad, what's your secret? He'd be like, I got a bottle of Blue Pills, 24 sevens of a row. He'd be like, I nibble a quarter. I'd be like, oh, shit. You beast. I was like, you sick fuck. But yeah, man. So, you know, this was an IG Live that's very different, guys. Obviously, I haven't showed my face in a while. Just fucking, you get wrapped up in the back end stuff, and I miss you guys. And the whole point is just getting back to happy. And the reason why you get back to happy and process and discipline and routine in your mind, whatever that is that works for you, it's going to show up in the career that we discuss every day, which is trading. Your trading will get so much, just a plethora of better, man. Everything is just going to conjoin. And you are going to find yourself in those charts, whether you want to or not, you are going to find your fucking self in those charts. And the days where you break process, you'll show up. The days where you do really good and consistent, you will show up. It'll be like a love letter to your life and your mind. And that's why we we're open books, man. Is that Mercury, Recreate or something? Is there some fucking shit going on? Oh, dude, I well, let's give some backstory on that, bro. So it's funny, bro. Because like I'm the type of guy that's really like, if I don't see it, I don't believe it, but I'm also big in the esoteric and my aunt is like one of the world's like, not like leading astrologers, but she's really good. And she's like really big. And so I've always believed in astrology. And I know a bunch of you are like, I like the fucking bullshit. And I hear you, but it's funny, man. I've seen some, I've seen some commonalities my whole life. And I got bowing it like three years ago in Alex because, bro, every time there was a Mercury retrograde, shit would go fucking nuts, dude, bow and hit like 23K loss. I'd be max stopping out, bender, benders, cars, wouldn't work, shit like this. And we just had a, we just had a really, dude, oh fuck. Dude, your three ex-girlfriends would come back and just try to frickin shank you and, and, and Mercury retrogrades a bitch. And we, we just went through a really big one and bow's joking around because like we go around moonshawmans and astrology and all that shit, fucking crazy after it. Bro, the moon, the moon, all that shit, man, turns into something weird, man. It's like, it's like, it's like male PMS. Dude, I'm telling you the minute I read these newsletters are like, Mercury retrograde and Mercury just went half past Uranus and this is in this house. I'm like, oh shit, I can't trade today because Uranus is up Mercury. Yo, guys, so, you know, whatever it is. So the point is you see this, I purposely wanted to talk to him so now, so that he can see, this is what we're missing in our life as traders. It's fun. The normal, the normal human connection. Yeah. I'm sitting here in a, I'm sitting here fucking crying about not making enough money. I'm like, what the fuck do I want to go outside and work in the fucking hot sun for minimum wage? You know, like, okay, okay, I'm gonna stop crying anymore. No, done that. Being there, man. Fuck dude. I did, bro, I did construction most of my adolescent years. I've, I've made this famous on the, all my webinars, but I used to do the film industry extra work. So I'd be the, I mean, I'm in, dude, I'm in like a hundred movies, 10,000 shows, I'm just that dude walking in the background like porn, no porn, but solo jerk off it. Dude, I would be in the background of like all these like terminator movies and shit like that. And I would do construction. Let me fucking tell you, bro, I paid my dues. I did that and I remember and now we know how blessed we are to click a couple buttons and make what those people make in a day, a week, a month, dude. It's, it's, it's remarkable. So there's never like a loss of gratitude or appreciation for that, but it's good to remind yourself where you came from. Yep. That's all I'm gonna do that. Yep. And every time you cry and look down at your wrist, bro. Fuck. I know, right? You know, you know what's, you know what's funny, man? It's cause like I'm not, I'm not a flashy person, but like I got this watch, bro, this year cause I was like, it's gonna, well actually when I think I got it at the end of last year and I was like, I'm finally just gonna like buy something stupid and expensive because, which I never do. But because it's a memento. Every time I look at it, I go, this is why I work so hard. This is why I'm going to continue to work so hard. And dude, I can have a hundred million dollars tomorrow. I'm not going to get a Richard Miller. I'm just not flashy. I just wanted one memento where I look down every day and I'm like, this is why I work so fucking hard. And I'm going to continue to push. But yeah, man, you and I dress the exact same, bro. We look like we're fucking poor practically. I, but for you, you look down your wrist, I look down lower. We all work for a reason. I, you know what I'm saying? I can tell people no money, no honey. You got a lot of honey without money. Stupid. No, dude. No money, no honey. Dude, honey sometimes attracts flies, not bees. Too many flies. Let me, let me experience some of that. You can have toss. You don't want to, it's like, me tell the toss, don't, don't want to make money, man. You can pay IRS toss. Let me make money. Let me figure it out. I want to be like, now I was like, no, dude. You do not want to go, you do not want to fly private. It's horrible. It's horrible living in a mansion toss. Don't do that, don't do that. It's terrible, bro. It's fucking terrible. Yeah, man. I think this is a good IG live because people, people forget that we're people because, because we run MIC, because we created MIC, because we're the, the men in charge, like whatever you want to, we're the role model. Like we're still fucking people. We have weak moments. We have strong moments. It's a brotherhood. It's a community. And when we remind ourselves that we are all here as a collective experience, and I'm not, and guys, this is so beyond trading. I mean, whatever your form of trading is, whether it's small cast, what's about doing all that, small cast, big caps, options, you're going to find people to relate with, and you're going to find that in the community. And bro, without MIC, man, I'd be on a fucking ledge somewhere lonely and fucking depressed because I just, human connection, man. And bro, it doesn't help, bro, that you and Alex and I, dude, haven't been in the same room in a year and a half, bro. Literally, since these fucking lockdowns, dude. Yeah, if you can survive the pandemic, man, this is going to make you tougher, guys. So I'm telling you, pandemic, you can look at the pandemic as like the worst time, or you can say it's an opportunity for you to do what the fuck you want to do. We, I sat in this fucking room training, and I made myself even better a trader than I was. You know, that thing, you know. So you imagine like, this is their opportunity. So glad in the world, your life is always, it should be the glasses half full, man. Look what you fucking have, man. The fact that we're able to do it. Yeah, perspective of any form. No, listen, you have to, but the loneliness factor, I'm telling you, that's what fuck says up. Being fucking, you know. That's what got me this week. Yeah. So this is why- Dude, and it was hard, bro. It was hard because like, like, I know Bow calls us a humble brag, but like, I do well on the dating apps, whatever. But that's so empty a lot of the time. But dude, when your ex hits you up, you're like, fuck. You know what I mean? Right, when you hit him. I lived with my ex, bro. I loved that girl. And like, when she hit me up, like, oh, fuck, eight, eight fucks you up mentally. And like, that kind of hit me this week. And I was like, and dude, I was like, oh, shit. Yeah, I knew some shit was going on, bro. Yeah, bro. Don't take this in your trading. No, they hit you up because, you know, they want to ruin you back because they're lonely too. That's what it is. But they don't want to be with you. They just want to- Well, so, so realistically, loneliness is the fucking killer of everything. All kinds of happiness. Take your hand. Take your hand. Whatever you feel lonely, bro. You know? Oh, that's- I posted this one thing, you know, before you fall in love and get married, maybe just fucking jerk one off and realize that you were just horny. You were not in love. Dude, like, three kids later, you're like, man, I was really just horny. And you went on a date, and you were like, in a fucking relationship, like, what the fuck? Bro, I'm divorced. I got to pay a fucking alimony. Bro, what's crazy? What's crazy about is like, I'm at the age that- Dude, when I was young, bro, anything before 27, I was so fucking reckless with women and like, dude, like, even strippers and like, crazy girl. Like, I liked crazy back then. Bro, now that I'm like 30, I'm like, I can't go anywhere and get intimate with anything that I couldn't- If I accidentally got one past the goalie, I got to see this bitch for the rest of my life, dude. Like, I got to be careful. I'm like, I actually think now. I mean, one last thing I'll share before we get off. This is crazy. So, I mean, some people have more of a drive than other people. So, when I was younger, man, I literally- Just to find out whether- Oh, maybe it's just, wait, maybe this is too dirty. If he says that, it is. Before I go on dates, I would literally have to like, you know, help myself so that you know you're not just horny. And the same thing applies to trading. All right? So, when you fucking trading, am I, what am I trading for? Am I trading for money, glory, or where the fucking may be? So, you basically have to cure whatever that urges. That's my point. Right? So, when I'm gone on a date, I'm looking for a relationship to take a mental-emotional connection. So, I need to strip away the FOMO of sex. So, that's the thing. It's a FOMO. Everything is a fucking FOMO. So, how do you cure the FOMO of trading? Like, carve. I have the FOMO of carve too. I didn't want to miss the trade, you know? Shit like that. So, you have to fucking figure a way to have a carve. How to carve. But how to eliminate your fucking FOMO. Be a FOMO of trading, FOMO of sex, FOMO of relationship, FOMO of life, bro. Bro, I know where you learned. Do what you need to fucking do. Speedo, I know where you learned that trick, dude. Check out this G.O.C. It's fucking eight, nine dollars. If I didn't do this Instagram live, I might have fucking blown up on that shit. Because I have fucking like that. Unfortunately, myself. So, you're like, I take cash out. You can then mow me like, all the money you saved. No, but now, like, I know where you learned that, bro. There's something about Mary, when he's talking about, you got to get the baby bat around before you go on the date. But I thought, that's why I thought it funny. I was starting to do that before. And he told me. Dude, there's a lot of. So, I'm going on this Instagram live to that even Alex told me, like, this is my therapy. This is how I stopped from over-trading. At least I can help people instead of fucking being bored, sitting around and making, oh, I'm going to stick my fucking little toe in. Because you know, the elegant gets my fucking balls, right? Oh, oh, dude. And let's bring it back full circle. That's the thing, man. When you step out. That helped me. That's how Carve got me. I know. I put my toe in. And then, maybe one more hand. But, Val, dude, beyond trading, bro. Let's talk about that for a second. You break your routine just a little bit. Like, you say, I'm not going to do this. OK, I'll give myself a little bit. Or, see your ex-girl from one time? Bro, you're stepping that you don't understand it. If you go down that rabbit hole, you're fucking torsos eating, dude. Your head is severed off like Ned Stark. You don't understand it. It's in life, too. I'm not going to buy a bus. Yeah, man. Dude, SEOC was fucking four bucks. Now it's $12. Holy shit. Now it's holding. $12.34. Now it's not going to come. Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to be a trading tap for Val? You guys have no idea, dude. Alex, give me a thumbs up if you agree, bro. Trying to tame this guy is insane. The FOMO level, man. And what I want, the reason why I love getting on with you, Val, and we used to do this years ago a lot, but it's cool to get back on. We never got it on years ago. Yeah. What's the words? People forget, bro. Holy shit, I only got the $8. He's going crazy, guys. He's going crazy. This is what he does. This is what he does. I can't fucking take a look at it. FOMO, bro. FOMO. Fucking Val, he's done it. Anyway, go ahead, Tosh. I'll leave you to talk last time. It just all comes back to, man, people forget that the three of us are people. People forget that they're people. People forget that everyone on this earth bleeds, cries, feels heartbreak, loses in trades. The difference of MIC from anywhere else on the planet is, bro, we've admitted we're just normal fucking dudes who flaw all the time. Every day, every week, we don't embellish. We don't polish. And we try to get you guys to learn from our stupid fucking mistakes, whether it's life or trading. Guys, we're here for you. We're just fucking people, bro. Just learning this as you are. We're just that much more ahead in this regard of trading to educate you. But, bro, everybody's just trying to fucking learn life as they go. Now, at his age, mine at my age, Alex at his age, the 18-year-old listening to his age, it's just learn from others who've experienced all this shit that they can teach you. And we've just been trading for a while, so we can teach you a lot of good things that we've learned. Now, I feel like I could teach some people life advice on happiness. I don't know. Now I can teach them. If you want to get matched on fucking dating app, hit up talk. He's starting a service on how to get guys to get matched up, so. Dude, the next company that we create is how to get laid professionally. I'm kidding, but. Tosh posted a dog photo. I had to post fucking a Ferrari or something. But anyways, Tosh, I love you, man. I love you guys. I love you too, dude. We wanted to remind everybody that we are human beings. And, hey, man, you need anything to hit talk about me. Hey, man. Dude, because the last thing, guys, the reason why I want to come on is Alex is always talking about when he's mentally fucked up. Bao is always talking about when he's mentally fucked up. And sometimes I just want to tell you when I'm mentally fucked up. And the beautiful thing about MIC, it's truly a family man. And there's not one member in MIC that I can't learn something from. And I'm not just talking about trading, life, anything. But even a homeless man on the street could teach you a life lesson. When you are open to the human connection, this is when you thrive. You cannot do this life alone. You cannot do this life alone. You cannot do trading alone. It's impossible. I have tried. Bao has tried. Alex has tried. And we came to the conclusion that, dude, the only way to get to where you want to go is together. And it tab partners for life. Brothers for life. If I can tab partners for trading, it's so beyond price action. Just get back to what works for you. And mentally, physically, energetically, astrologically, whatever, dude. Just do what works for you, man. And it's cool to vet, man. Thank you for letting me vet today. I fucking love you, dude. I love all the MIC members. I'm going to go get a smoothie, then it's back to work, baby. $12 smoothie. What a fucking subcrime, bitch. No, no, dude. In LA, it was 14 here. I found one for 10. All right, man. I'll see you guys. See you guys. Love you guys. All right. Have a good weekend. Bye-bye.
