Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, look. Lewis, with a little bit of luck, we've got Shane Smollion in the house today. Shane, are you there? Can you hear me, Larry? Yes, sir, you're coming in just fine, my friend, just fine. Anyway, I was telling the folks in the beginning of the show about these stelems that we've looked at and how I got interested in astrology and you want to show us what you're looking at because I see things coming into early January that are... I just haven't seen anything like this in about 15 years. I don't know if I'm right or not, but why don't you show the folks what you're looking at today and we'll make some sense out of it, okay? Absolutely. So, happy holidays to everybody, happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas to everybody. I know we're a little bit early, but we're in the holiday spirit here, so we'll get started. Now, just to refresh people's memories here, we had been talking about the geomagnetic storms before. So, there's three topics today that I'll get a little bit into. The geomagnetic storms is one that we've talked about, so if we have some time, what I'll do is I'll come back to that. Essentially, this is a relatively new phenomenon. It's not astrology-based, it's based upon these coronal mass discharges from the sun and how they affect the markets. So, this is a relatively new tool and we've been talking about this and there's a seasonal pattern of these geomagnetic storms and they tend to follow the seasonal pattern of the S&P in an inverted fashion. So, if we have more time, we'll come back to this towards the end, but this is important to talk about because in recent years, the last few years I've really taken a study of this and I've tried to really understand how these things work on the short term and on the long term. And I do find, for the most part, they're pretty good. We've had a few misses here in the last month where we had some of these storms and the market did not go down, but for the most part they have been behaving as these are more negative influences on the market. And so, the reason I bring this up is that what the stelems are is they're a positive influence on the market. So, sometimes you have things like the Bradley which can go positive or negative. So, this geomagnetic activity is mainly just negative. So, it does affect the moods of people on earth. It's been documented and this research was done by the Federal Reserve of Atlanta. And so, these negative effects actually run opposite of the Dow Jones. So, the Dow Jones runs opposite of these storms. So, you can see that as the storm activity rises, the markets tend to go down and then as the storm activity falls, the markets tend to go up. And then, my storms go up in late summer, early fall, markets fall. And then we're entering a period now of much more favorable activity for the markets from the standpoint of geomagnetic storms. So, I just wanted to refresh everybody's memory about that. And we're going to start out here with this Bradley barometer. So, this is going to fall under S&P forecast models. And when I talk about the solar storms, it's not really a forecast model because it's kind of just like we get a heads up that a storm is coming a couple of days ahead of time. Like we get some warning kind of like a hurricane is coming. But, you know, it's not really a forecast model because I can't forecast out months at a time like you can with other models. So, when I talk about a forecasting model, I'm talking about predictive ability across months into the future. And so, that's where we start with the Bradley barometer here. So, give me one second. Okay. So, Bradley barometer background. Let's talk about this. So, what is the Bradley barometer? Bradley barometer is, sorry, it's a little interruption. Bradley barometer, and I put barometer with an S, okay? Because you've heard of the Bradley barometer for years. There was just one Bradley barometer. And what this does is this measures the effects of transits on financial markets. So, when we just talked about the solar storms, we were basically talking about just negative influences based upon these releases of the sun. What this is, this actually measures interactions of the planets as they make angles with each other. And so, traditional astrology has for centuries and thousands and thousands of years ascribed positive or negative values to these aspects, right? So, typically conjunctions are generally positive unless it's typically involving Saturn. Some people think Mars is negative, but typically conjunctions are positive and then you have favorable angles. You have sextiles, you have trines, you have squares, and you have oppositions. And so, depending on the type of angle that these make with the market, the idea is that if it's a hard angle, the traditional astrologers believe that the market should view that as negative. And if it's a favorable angle, the market should view that as favorable. And the reason why this was tested on the markets is because the markets are, it's a pool of many, many participants, especially equity markets. So, you're talking about a large group of people that are affected by the psychology and the social mood and the emotions, right? So, the markets are very emotional. And so, the idea is that these transits affect what happens with... What's happening up there is what's happening down here. So, originally, Donald Bradley looked at different aspects of this. He looked at long-term aspects. He looked at middle-term aspects. The long-term aspects are the outer planets. He looked at the inner planets. He looked at declination of how high they go up or below the horizon, which is related to where they are longitudinally. But it's just a way that he threw this in there. He also had the X factor, which he threw in there. Now, the idea was that these harmonious transits, they tended to... They would correspond when the market was positive. That's the idea behind it. And then when there was a hard transit, when we talk about squares, oppositions, probably semi-squares, 135 angles, these would be hard transits for the market. And so that's the idea. And so it's best for equities because, like I said, it's a broad base of participants. Now, this model, as you know, and you know with Arch Crawford, he used this for years. It worked very well all the way through the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, even all the way up through 2009. But right around 2000, the financial crisis of 2008, things changed because the Fed started with quantitative easing. And I noticed that this particular indicator would stop working while the Fed was doing quantitative easing. I did a whole series on this about how... And I went back and tracked the Bradley every time the Fed was doing QE and when they weren't doing QE, that it stops working and then it starts working. It stops working and then it starts working. So when there's less artificial influences in the market, it tends to reflect the mood of the people. And again, we see this with the geomagnetic storms too. The geomagnetic storms, you know, this is documented. I mean, just like I said, documented by the Fed, documented by psychologists, that it does affect the moods of people on Earth when these geomagnetic storms move across Earth. This is just talking about the planets making aspects. So the original Bradley, it can invert. So, you know, Larry, you know, this is sometimes it looks like it's going up and then it's the turning point that matters. It's not so much the direction a lot of times with the Bradley. And it works best when the Fed is weak. Sure does. Stay with us, folks. We've got more to come. Shane SmollionWolfTrader.com It is Mastering Probability Newsletter.

Yeah, so we started out talking about the solar storms, how those are mainly negative effects. Bradley Boromber can go either way, and then we talked about the fact that these are affected by the Federal Reserve, and so during non-QE periods, like we're in right now, they tend to work much better. Now, the Bradley. Thanks to our friend Alfie LaVoy and Air Software, we can optimize this for specific markets. And so why is that important? We can optimize specific transits and plans that affect a specific market. Okay, so I can do a Bradley for the gold. I can do a Bradley for the S&P. I can do a Bradley for the 10-year. I can do a Bradley for natural gas. I can do a Bradley for corn, et cetera, et cetera. So I can go on and on with this. This optimized Bradley, it's more accurate, and it has less inversion, which is good. Now, the original Bradley traditionally was just for equities, because it's just the general mood of the people, and typically equity markets are the general mood of the people. So 1946, when he brought that out, by the way, folks, 1946. I mean, it was incredible. He did all this without computers by hand. And of course, this is before we had such interventions that we see now, like with the central banks, and it was a different time. So it definitely reflected more the moods of the people. Now, the Bradley Baramers, this optimized Bradley, works well both in sample and out of sample. And what I want to just explain is here, since we do have plenty of time, I'm going to go into this little lecture here for everybody to kind of try to explain how this works. So there's two types of an optimization. There's what's called the in-sample portion, and essentially this is a back test. And the out of sample is how did it actually do into the future? Like when you stopped testing it, how did it do? Was it good? Was it bad? Now, here's something where people get tripped up a lot. Back tests are usually meaningless, and they simply model noise. So anybody can do a back test and come up with a beautiful looking model. It's very high profit factor ratio. All these sharp ratios, all these perfect numbers, and then it goes into the future, and the model usually just dies. So this isn't a video about designing trading systems, but the idea is that typically, when you optimize something in the past, if you have a model that you optimize, let's say this is the past, and it looks almost perfect in the past, usually the better it looks in the past, the quicker it dies into the future. So this is really a big mystery for a lot of people because they focus on statistics and correlations and t-test and z-scores and all these different ways, high square, all these different ways they can say, oh my God, it's statistically significant, statistically significant, and then they go into the future and it just dies. What you'll find is that, ironically, a lot of times when you optimize systems, the less smooth it is, the more you have a little bit of waviness in the system, it tends to keep going into the future because you don't model all of that noise. And again, this is not about back-testing. We get into all this with the Fed use and the Polar R-square, but what's interesting about the optimized Bradley is, is that the end sample continues to the out-of-sample, and so that provides a very strong evidence of this predictive ability. So I'm going to show you some graphs here and we've showed it before, but I'm going more in depth today about how we did a back-test, right? We did an end-sample and then we stopped it in June and it kept going. And so Larry, the graph that you're showing people, this graph stopped in June, okay? It stopped in June, so it kept forecasting out into the future using this optimized Bradley. So this is kind of where we are, and I just want everybody to understand the sequence of how we got to what we're talking about here. So this is the optimized Bradley here. So let me explain to everybody what this is. So the black line that we have here, this is the S&P, and this is just the S&P as it's moving through time. You can see this little thin line here. This is the S&P here, just kind of meandering around here. You can see it stops right here because this is where we stopped the back-test. So everything from this point backwards here is what's called a back-test, right? So I don't ever assume that these things work because especially on Alfi software, I don't have the ability to do advanced, you know, walk-forward optimizations, which test into the future. But this particular model is unique because it tends to continue going. So this portion here, this is what we would call the future, or this is the out-of-sample. So this is the out-of-sample. And so this is actually, how did it actually do? Like, did it work? Did it not work? I mean, we stopped this last June. I mean, we're six months past this point. Did it work or did it not work? And so what I'm going to show you here in this yellow box is this is the actual portion where it was into the future. It stopped, it was predicting into the future. And so I labeled these one, two, three, four, and five here. And I corresponded it on the graph here with the S&P here. This graph into here when this came down. So this was one here, two here. This two should be a little bit over here, but this is one, two, three, four, five, and you can see the S&P came down. It should have been a little bit further here, but it came one, two, three, four, five here. And now, and this was, I think this was two shows ago. I predicted this. This was when I was on the show and I said, okay, now it's predicting that this is going to go up. And this is when I gave you, this is when I shared this information with you about this. And by the way, for the listeners, I have to thank Larry for this because he calls me and asks me, he says, hey, what's going on with the Bradley? What about the Optimized Bradley? And he actually got me thinking about steeliums. I never even really thought about that. So Larry's, you know, when he contacts me about this information, he kind of, he really stimulates me to kind of look, look in that direction. So, so I shared the graph with him and say, here's what it says. It's supposed to rally here based upon this model. And you can see here from October is predicting this forecast and this was what predicted. And so what it actually did here, if you go one slide forward here, you can actually see that the market did, it did bottom right at that point there in late October as this model predicts here. And it did, it did head higher according to this model. Now, this is not the only model that I look at, but this particular model has been working very well. And I think it has, it's a large part, it's a large part due to the fact that the Fed is tightening and we don't have these constant interventions like we normally see where it just causes the market to keep rising and rising. So that's one example here. I have a closer example here. This is a closer zoom here where I labeled these, these, you know, I zoomed it in so you can see even more here, but you can see on this graph, label A here corresponds to the graph here. This was a low, the label B here is the high here. The label C here is a low, label D here is the high. And then of course at E it predicted this rally and that's exactly what happens. So yeah, I haven't touched this graph since June. This is the exact forecast from June. I typically like to let these things run about six months. So I'm probably going to be re-optimizing this in the next month or so just to see how it continues into the future. But usually it's pretty close. And so I think that just demonstrates how powerful the Bradley is and how powerful, if you do this right and you're careful with it and you make sure to check and make sure that this is actually forecasting out of sample and you're not just looking at a back test. I think it can be very powerful. So this is what I have to do and I call the eye test out of sample because I don't have the software. I have other software that I use for my other systems. But this particular system, sometimes it's okay to do that. You can just look at a system and just say, hey, does it work? Does it keep going out? Does it keep going out? I call that a dipstick test. Like when you run a dipstick test in science is when you just do a quick test to see if something's positive or negative like a COVID test or something, right? It's a dipstick test. So what I do a lot of times on these, this is a term that I use. I call it the dipstick test. I run it and then I let it go out for six months to see how did it work. And this one is pretty good. So that's the background on that Bradley. So I just wanted to kind of go through that to give everybody an update. And we do run that with our S&P service and we also have gold in a 10 year as I've also shared with Larry too. We've got to pay a few bills here, my friend. I've taught him everything he knows, folks. This is all second nature to me. I give up. The Gold Report. As a precious metal, gold is still king.

Okay, folks, we're speaking with Shane Smollin, the WolfTrader.com, on a very important subject near and dear to my heart. So please continue, my friend. Absolutely. So we're going to move on to Planetary Steeliums. I wanted to give that background of the Bradley because the steeliums are generally only positive. And I'll get into this about the meaning of this in a second. And you're the one that kept sending me these charts of the low in March of 2009 and 1987. You sent me all these charts over and over again and I really couldn't make sense of it because I was so used to looking at the transits between the plans. But I realized, hey, and I think Arch knew about this for sure. He talked about this tight steelium back in 1987. He used to talk about this in his newsletters. But planetary steeliums happen when planets line up in a conjunction. This is a longitudinal conjunction when they're basically crowded in one space in the sky. So this is not transits. This is not the angles that they make with each other. I guess you could say they're making a zero-degree angle with each other. But it's more about are they crowded together and working together? So the conjunction can be wide or tight. And the planets are working together in a conjunction. So if you think about vector mechanics, if you have two vectors pointing in the same direction, they add up almost in a linear fashion. They're completely working together. You can think about it in physics like the dot product. It's like you're taking two vectors and you're turning it into a scalar and you're finding out how much of one projects onto the other. That's kind of like a conjunction. These planets, they tend to be positive. So when they line up. Now, I created a planetary steelium index in none other than Alfie Levois software. This is the market trader titanium I have, right? So I make this index because I took what you were sending me, Larry, and I thought about it and I said, well, damn, I was looking at these steel lamps. This happened to me a couple of years ago. I saw these steel lamps and I said, man, why is the market hanging up here? I don't see any transits. I don't see anything. The transits weren't really that big, but they were all packed together. So I said, well, let me let me see what I can do here. So I created this index. It measures how tight the steel limbs are. And so there's ways in Alfie software. You can write all these logical operators and add things up. And, you know, as I figured out, okay, I'm going to put these together and figure out when this custom indicator is going to predict these steel limbs because it's kind of hard on a chart. You kind of have to flip through and flip through and flip through and see whether they're together. But this is a custom indicator, like I said, that I wrote and it's by the orb of the tightness. And so the higher the orb, the higher the peak in the graph. Okay, so sorry, the tighter the orb, I should have said tighter. Tighter just means an orb, just for those of you who are familiar, it's just how close the plants are. So if they're very, very close, we say the orb is within one degree, two degrees, three degrees. And so we measure this. So this is an example of what the planetary steel limb index looks like. This is from 2000. And like I said, I wrote this custom so it doesn't exist in his software. I just have it in my file here, but it's 2000 here, this is 2010, and this is 2020. So you can see they do happen relatively frequently. And you can see they're not all the same strength, the same peak, but when you do see these very sharp peaks, you do tend to get positive effects. And they can last for months and months at a time. You can see down here in the two, I think this was about nine, eight, seven, six. 2006, this is right where the market was making a high. 2006 into here. And then this was the financial crisis here. I'll talk, if we get to that, I'll talk about that. But these tend to show up where the markets are making big highs. And the wider the orb is, usually the more planets that are involved with this. So that's it on a big scale. They tend to be positive events and the higher the peak in the index, the tighter and stronger the steeling is. Now, here's the thing about this. I've been studying these. And so they're a little bit different than transits because these are generally just positive events, right? So there can be delays after a steelium leaves. So a steelium can show up at a market high. And then like in 1987, right before the crash, there was a big steelium that summer. And then slowly it's like the air's coming out of the balloon when the steelium leaves. So steeliums can occur at market highs or they can occur at market lows. In other words, if the market is going down, like in 2009, the great recession, these steelium show up right at the bottom. In other words, it's kind of like a backstop against the market where it stops it from going down at that point. So this is just some observations I've made, but much more research needs to be done because I just created this index. So let's go back and start studying all this. But each indicator has its own peculiar behaviors and whatnot. So we're going to go back in time here. I'm going to give you a brief history of the steeliums on the Dow Jones Industrial Index. So I did a webinar last Saturday on this on part one. So we're probably just going to cover some of what we talked about in part one. And then this Saturday, it's going to be 10 o'clock, not 8 o'clock, 10 o'clock. I'm going to continue this webinar. So if you want to show up and go into more in depth about this, we can talk more on Saturday. So the webinar is free to attend. It's free to show up. It's on YouTube. And you can chat your questions. And so just to kind of put that out here, if I don't cover enough today, we will go more into depth of this on Saturday at 10 o'clock. So the steelium, the first one we're going to look at is May the 4th, 1890. So this is Dow Jones. We got more data on Dow Jones. We go back. And some people like to splice together different markets from Great Britain and all, you know, they try to do all the Elliott way people do that. They splice this debt, you know, the South Sea bubble and all stuff. I don't really do that. I'm just focusing on the Dow Jones right here. But I'm sure if you had enough financial information, you could go back and find these correlations too. We're going to start just with the Dow. And so what I have here is this is a typical chart of the planets. And what you can see here is that you have a tight, you have a tight steelium here on these planets. So when it's with the steelium is down here, you can see these are the plants. The steelium down here. So you have Venus, you have Neptune, Mercury and Pluto. Okay. So this is your steelium right here. And what's going to happen here is that this is the sun here, right? So the sun moves always in direct motion one degree a day. There's no retrograde motion. It's going to move across this steelium, right? And so what I have, what I have found, okay, with these steeliums is that when the sun moves across the steelium, it tends to trigger this. This tends to be the peak of the event. So you have a steelium of planets and the sun moves across and that's the peak. Okay. So that's just something that I've observed. I've been studying this. That's what happens. Okay. So what does this actually look like in terms of the planetary steelium index? I'm just showing you a bunch of planets here. So it may look like, you know, like, what is all this stuff? What are these symbols? These are just the way that we represent the different planets. If I go here on the graph, this is what it looks like. So this is the planetary steelium index here. This is 1890. We're going way back. And like I said, the markets tended to follow the stuff much better back then. We just didn't have the type of intervention that we have now. But you can see here that there's this peak here. It comes up at peaks here, right? It comes down and then there's another peak here in the steelium index. And like I said, when this goes away, what happens a lot of times is the market tends to almost have like a slow deflating balloon effect, but eventually it does tend to kind of fall down here. So hope springs eternal. I know a lot of market technicians talk about market tops as being very diffuse and broad. But this really exemplifies that because it's mainly just positive effects. Even if you go back here, you can see this little blip here in this steelium here had a little bit of an effect on the market here. So it does affect these markets in a positive way. And there's some pretty dramatic examples that I'm going to keep going through here. But this stuff shows up, by the way, in market crashes. It shows up at market peaks. Just like the planetary speed index is another one, Larry, that I've talked about with you. That's another index I've developed. That one shows up, too, in market crashes and market peaks. So this stuff is just a big clock. And this stuff is always kind of working together. And so we're just kind of intertwined with this. At least that's the theory behind it. It's working. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back with Shane Smollin. This will be available in an English language as soon as we can translate it. This is good stuff, folks. It ain't easy, but it's good. We'll be right back. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball. After all, it's impossible to predict the future, right?

Shane, I can't tell you how important this is to me because this is what Dr. Miller set me down with back in 1986 when I first started to take a really close look at this. And 20 men and I set with, we just couldn't believe what we were seeing. So this is really great stuff. Someday this will be... Larry, you inspired me to do this. Yeah, well, I made a phone call to you. That's the inspiration. Well, no, I mean, to be completely honest, I mean, look, to the audience, to the guests out there, Larry always asked me for these charts. He said, send me the chart of this date or you just give me some random date. And I would look at the chart. I'm like, what is he looking at? And I would send him the chart. And I realized that Larry was seeing these steel lamps. Like Larry, you spotted these like in the March and every time you would ask me for the, you know, you say this matches this date and you were looking at the steel lamps. And to be honest with you, I never even considered this as a market indicator. So I always, you know, what I try to do if subscribers or people ask me questions or give suggestions, I always try to research that because I think, you know, especially my subscribers, I don't mean to brag on my subscribers, but they usually ask really good questions and they're very knowledgeable. I just answered the whole, a whole explanation is weakened on the market update video about this Chicago financial conditions index and how that, you know, what did that mean in terms of the Fed? So, you know, I always look when someone asks me a question, I always try to take that information and run with it and try to see if I can expand upon it. So this is an example of that. So anyway, I digress there. This is, so this is 1891. Now we're not even to the 1900s yet, man. This is like, we're way back in time, right? But you can see here, here's our steelium here. This is in September. So this is 9, 12, 1891. And you can see here, this is our steelium here. And then this is the sun moving across. So again, one of the things I've noticed, and it just, it's just for whatever reason, you have to have the steelium and the sun has to show up in that picture. Okay. And we call this in the uranium astrology, we call this a planetary picture. Okay. The sun is really important because it represents things that you can see. It usually represents things that happen on earth. In other words, people can see this stuff happening. It's not happening behind the scenes like a Pluto Neptune or a moon aspect or something like that. It's visible. So this is what this one looks like. This one's pretty stunning actually. This is coming to 1891. This is the early summer here. So you can see the Dow Jones here is kind of just moving down, but it has these little rises here. And every time there's a rise, you can see the steelium pops up here and the steelium pops up again here. Now fortunately, we can go back and check like I just showed you on that graph. And you can see here, this was the actual big peak here in this one here. It goes all the way up into, this is the September the 12th date. It comes down. And like I said, it's kind of like at the air coming out of a balloon. It's not always a sudden crash down, but it does tend to fall down and eventually it just tends to kind of deflate after that aspect. So it's kind of like, like I said, it's just mainly just positive. So it's unique in that way. Like I said, it really can be positive or negative. And the solar storms are just negative. So for whatever reason, that's just how they manifest in the psyche. So I got another one here. This is November 23rd, 1895. We're getting closer to the turn of the century here. This one's pretty dramatic. And this was a very tight steelium. Okay. So I talked about this. I'm not going to get into 12th harmonic too much here, but I did talk about this fact that this one was really tight. You can see how tight these orbs are into here. And the sun had just moved across this. You can see the sun is in Sagittarius here. In other words, it moves in this direction across. And so there were other planets too at the same degree of this one. Okay. So we're looking anywhere between 12th to 16, 20 degrees somewhere in there. This is relatively tight into here, but there's other plants also in here at these orbs into here. Okay. So I think this one was in particular, this one was very strong because on the 12th harmonic, which is a whole nother thing we're not going to get into, it matched by degree too. So in other words, we had a steelium here on this conjunction on the first harmonic, and then also it touched on those other angles. That should have been a much tighter steelium. And when we look at the actual chart here, you can see that one actually had a more profound effect on the market falling tighter. So when we have those really, really, really tight steeliums, and 1987 was a really tight one, we tend to get big, big market highs. And this is one thing I want to point out here too, that this, you can see here, there was this jog up here in the early year it matches the steelium rise here. And these steeliums can be backstops, like I said, they can just like, in other words, the market wants to go down here, right? And for whatever reason, there's supply and demand balances, equilibrium going on here, but the steelium comes along and it kind of provides this as a backstop. In other words, it wants to go down, but the steelium's just kind of making it go sideways. So this is where market technicians come into play and we look at these things and we say, well, that's a negative divergence because it should have been going higher type of a thing. And so when the steelium actually leaves here, you can actually see that the market plunges pretty quickly here. And notice there's a little bit of a bump here at the low and that shows up too, by the way, a lot of times. You'll see that at the actual low. You'll actually see like a little rise, we saw that in 2009, we saw that during COVID. During COVID in 2020, there was a big spike in the planetary steelium index right at the low, I mean, right at the low. So the one thing I would tell people is we have to take the context of the market into effect here. In other words, just because we see a steelium doesn't mean that the market's going to rally to some peak high, but what it does mean if the market is rallying and there is a steelium, there's a good chance that it's going to mark some type of a high or some type of a turning point. And if it is falling when that steelium comes, it's a very good chance that that's going to mark some type of a low, a very substantial low in the market like we saw in 2009. So we're getting closer to 1900 here, man. If you guys want to see the rest of this, like I said, Saturday at 10 a.m., we're starting a little bit later this week. We usually start at 8. 10 a.m. Eastern, they go to wolftrader.com. It's the YouTube channel. I have a YouTube channel, Wolf Trader Futures. You can look it up. But it's free, free. I mean, you just show up, we just chat. It's kind of like very open-ended on Saturdays. And this stuff, as you can see, it takes a while to get through. So 1899, this is right at your Thanksgiving. You can see here, here's another very tight steelium here. And again, what I like about these steelium index is I can actually go to the chart and see this visually. It's very easy to see. And you can see there's a very tight steelium into here. And so you can see these planets are here too. And so the sun is moving across once again, it's moving across this whole steelium into here. So eventually when it gets across there, that's going to be the peak of the steelium. And so this particular one here, you can see the graph. This one was very dramatic. It actually at the peak of the steelium here, you can see this is the peak of the steelium here. This is this November 26th. That was the graph I just showed you. You can see in this particular case, the market did decline in lockstep with that steelium going down. So there are cases where it does go down instantaneously with the steelium. But what I've seen most of the time, there is a little bit of a lag in there before the market starts to decline. So that's the basic idea. Does anybody have any questions on this right now where we're talking about this? I don't see any questions in here, but folks, I know this seems like a Greek mythology to you as it does to me, but it does work. And it's all related to numbers. And all we're trying to do is match these patterns up with some of these things. And, you know, they're so spectacular sometime, especially when they line up with the patterns like we had on October the 28th. And why that's so important is that's such a big one that if that breaks by some stretch of the imagination, that tells you that this thing is lopsided, and you better look out below. Hey, Shane, we've got to leave now, but stay with us for the break. And I want to hear more about this YouTube thing you're having on Saturday at 10 o'clock Eastern time. Correct? Absolutely, yep.
