 well I can't figure it out I had we had such a great weekend it was my dear just 21st birthday and my mother's 92nd birthday and my brother and sister came up so we just had a blast yeah we went to the hockey game the sabers and the rangers there was 29 of us oh my god that's fantastic did your mom live with you guys no so my mom still lives in new jersey she has two homes in new jersey one up north and one down the shore but she's 92 she was dancing on the on the tables on friday night oh my god that's great yeah yep and now she's uh fixing dinner well i won't take up too much your time i just wanted to talk to you because we haven't done a video in a while and sometimes no did you look at tesla i did well sometimes people ask me about that video we did well we did a couple videos it's been a number of years but sometimes people say how's jackie doing and i haven't featured you for a while so i said the other way we have to do a video we have to do a video you know i'm doing i'm doing good i just i think because i don't know how long i've been with you now melissa but i want to say is is it since 2018 it's i think it could be 16 i want to say even 2016 it might be and i just i i find myself getting insight the longer i'm with you i mean i know it's because every time you open the room up you teach us something yeah but i sometimes get feelings about things now too no you had great picks you have great picks but you never you always put them in so late like you know i was afraid about tesla this morning oh i did schwaab and i did the i did the spy because you said if you want but i also did schwaab and i took it down two hours you know i know but actually you did good so you did that on your own on friday you did really good yeah so i'm hoping april again turns out to be a really really good month because earning season is starting in a week you know i just i think the market's gonna catch up with itself you know i think after a while the jig's gonna be up and the market's gonna realize that it's been rallying on on crappy news and crappy numbers and all for what the fed's gonna do you know i don't know i don't even know why we ended up falling today i don't know why i didn't even care because i said i'm not dealing with this you know i figured a one two-day rally last week and that was it i really didn't change anything but again i have no idea we're falling today but this is the kind of thing we've been dealing with yeah and with the how bad the market's been i i mean calls intimidate me like shorts don't intimidate me calls intimidate me because you know that it's up on on you know junkie stats so you know at least when we do earnings it's earnings you know yeah but you know i know you've been great with the pic so i don't know if you're raining stuff on your own before you come in but you but you put it in the room so late so what i try and do is i try and put it in at nine and then i put a bunch of asterisks after because i i'm i'm imagining that everybody is reaching out to you in the mornings so i understand how things get lost yeah some people do some people don't some people don't talk at all i like that you talk i like that you write comments well that's the way i learn yeah you know with you and with gyro that's the way i learn yeah you know so what do you think has been the best thing that that that you've gotten out of the program now that you've been in it for whatever is 2018 i think it was before that for the five years like what do you think looking back when you first first started because people always ask me this what's the most difficult thing you know and i never know what to say to anyone because i've been doing this for so long like what if you could give any advice to somebody since we're doing this video like what would you say to people that are new i would just say you can't be greedy like i always saw like i could make a thousand dollars in my first week now i have a smaller account yeah but i you know and i i set a realistic goal for myself if i make a hundred dollars a day and you have to think of it this way a hundred dollars a day is 500 a week that's and at the end of like so you have to look at it little and then okay a month that's a thousand and then a year it'll be interesting to see going into an election year they're not going to show the unemployment rate over four percent i don't know how they're not going to but i don't see them doing that because it'll look really bad going into an election year but i mean all these people being laid off it's that's what i said i think i think sooner or later it's it's gonna hit the fan and then there was also a little piece of news i heard about russia today that they said they had this ukrainian town surrounded and that it looked like russia was going to take it well the market hasn't been reacting too much to ukraine but i don't know if they would react to something like that well that's a concern about being overnight in something if you're in a call something happens that you can't predict you don't know about you have no idea and then boom and it hits you know what i mean but i think you know and even the fed you know you could be going along and the market could be sailing it's going up and then all of a sudden jenny yelling opens your mouth and boom like it doesn't even say much of anything i know but i think we would do a really good finding specific things but it's like a hundred percent focus and it's like a thousand percent focus like if i look away for a second i feel like you know what i mean it's like nine thirty six we have to be out i dropped another dollar but you never know i never know i know well that's what happened with us with snow remember oh no we were in we were in and we were up a lot of money and then we we were waiting for more father and but again this isn't a normal time right now that's what i'm saying yeah anything yeah costco did the same thing i mean there were certain ones that dropped a lot even lou right lulu we've been looking for lulu but that's what i try to do i try and remember the ones that you want to follow and then you know and i oh i i read on the news today about tesla their deliveries they were down for deliveries or something like that so that's why i said that this morning when i heard that i said oh i said we should check tesla and that's why i took tesla and i said well it's down and sometimes things don't have to be down too much and they go you know like even if it's a little bit of resistance i i can't get that either but that's why i said to you in the morning in the room i said tesla if you want a short but then i thought you would look at it and say okay yeah it's good to go well i mean i knew that stock could move so i knew if we got in and out quick and we could make a dollar really really really really quick so that's why i thought if it sets up and goes but even that we didn't do right away we didn't do it right away and and it was backing up for a while there too it was i mean again this market i think is going to weed out people that don't know what they're doing it's a take no prisoners kind of market you have to do well and you have to be focused and i'm just going to take this opportunity to try to get better but i mean it's it's it's unfortunate because 2022 was a really good year to short everything we did whether it was options whether it was day trade some months or better than others like december was so easy i thought september was august august was good september was a difficult month but every time then we got back into a group it just seemed like it was never ending and now clearly this is a different market you know yeah well i even noticed so this earning season every time they could have terrible earnings they were down and then it would flip you know like it wouldn't go the way you think it would go or some of them again didn't even look like they had earnings that was like during covid and and that's just so strange so yeah i mean that's why i like being in the room like like even okay so i've been doing this since 2016 so you see oh i must be able to do it on my own but you know it helps with the group of us yeah because you kind of can bounce things off of each other and so you know and like you were looking at something or somebody's looking at another stock that that got missed by the you know the scanners and stuff so well i mean we don't trade i'm happy to do the lessons but obviously we want to find something to make money if i can find that day but again i think the room just makes it easier for people because my brain works so fast to see that one-minute chart so i can see if it's going to work or it's not going to work if we're off of it or we're on it and i just think i make it easy for people to do it but you but you do have to make sure to size yourself and then you got to get the stop in which i think takes practice for people after class but i don't i mean i don't think it takes that long to get in a group of it i really don't no all you have to do is get burned a couple of times and then you like especially like if these people don't use stops you know i've been and i never mind bumping the stop up like just five more cents or ten more cents like even if even if you don't like yeah uh today in tesla it was uh it was 200 oh i have it right here hold on you said 202 well it was like 202 60 and i i had it at 202 80 you know what i mean but 20 cents you write it down after i call it or how do you do it oh i write it down or you write it down first yes i write it down and if if you change it then i put the line through it and i put that so i could see where the stop started where we wind up having to go you know if you have to go five or ten cents just before you know so it doesn't stop you out yeah that's good but you know you know not having to stop i think is ridiculous i mean i think that's ridiculous too but anyway so then do you do you just do you just look at your pnl when you're up lately now and just get out as soon as you see it hit a certain number whatever you're well usually you'll call a target so when you say you said today that we want to take we want to like get a flush through 199 so when we were here heading towards 198 50 i'm like okay okay okay and then it hit 198 and i could i could you know what i made one r i'm good you know what i mean and and i'm out yeah so when you call that target i also write that down too so i write the stop the entry and our target and then when it hits that target like you know bar by bar yeah yeah for sure well that's the other thing i think it makes it easier for the room because i'm doing all those numbers in the morning in the pre-market so i have them like in my head besides right now down i have them in my head so people don't have to mess around with that too whereas right doing it on your own you have to rate it you have to write all the numbers down you have to get the entry you know yeah and sometimes i i'm getting better where i can just sometimes look at something and you know like you know ba one day is going to shape up to be a really nice short i know well we that one day that it fell over and then i was waiting for it and it backed up and then i'm glad we didn't do it that one day and then it went with the market last week but yeah that's another one i wish we could get into a group with one thing it was starting to be schwa but now again like if we could just get into a group with one thing that was our side thing we had that a lot in 2020 and like like just one thing that we could always be the go-to thing like we don't have which is usually ba was always ba you know there was a lot of people that got knocked out of there so i'm you know so it's something i always love when we keep an eye on things you know you know like you've been waiting for meta we should make a list where we don't do anything we should make a list of secondary things that's what we should do the next day you were waiting for lulu to make a move did lulu make a move yet let's see yeah not really i mean that that's another good example of something where again should have taken off like a rocket should have gone yeah still go tomorrow but again again symptomatic of this market you know and that was the video as well same thing yeah well that finally did but it took weeks and weeks and then i didn't get it i didn't get it i just didn't go back into it because i didn't forget it yep you know so so it's been fun it's been fun to you know and then when we finally figured out you know we can't be in longer five minutes well you got the whole day to yourself now oh my gosh it's been awesome yeah i mean you know mom and i were doing a million things and then we're cooking so we're having a good time and she's here till after Easter yeah so that'll be good so she drink wine with you uh you know what she loves your manhattan's oh my god hard out she loves manhattan's uh like only one got special like we don't you know not every night but like when we go out to a restaurant she'll either have a manhattan or oh the other an old-fashioned but they have to have the bottom being cherry she's very particularly how funny where are you gonna drink with her and watch the whole news tonight with all the scuttle butt with the drama with the trunk thing well are you gonna be there tomorrow obviously i'm not gonna go out i'm obviously just don't get arrested i'm interested to see if they start blocking off the some of the streets just because they don't there's all sorts of fences around there now it's it's awful all things awful do you know anybody in the city that's uh no my my uh stepson's living one lives in queens no i don't know anybody in manhattan anymore yeah because i i mean i i've just figured i'm not going out tomorrow you know what i mean oh but i'm going to see uh uh sweeney todd um on the 15th is that good josh grobin oh sweeney todd so that my parents were big broadway people my mother always knew what plays were coming up and what had like a good you know scuttle butt about them like they tell me like that's a good i will but i want to hear josh grobin it's a dark story though that's not one of those it is i know man or anything i know i have to tell you but we're going in the 15th and we're coming home the 16th i'm sure it's going to be great singing yes i i like him so yeah we'll see well it was great talking to you keep in touch yeah yeah it's been fun it's been challenging fun and like i said i learned something every day every day i'm in the room well that's good to hear that makes me feel like i'm doing something good oh you are i love i love when we re-rate things you know what i mean because it makes you think and i get out my old notes and so well i love that you have a notebook and you write down what i say because that that really does help because i do that i do that for myself yeah i mean i do that for myself every day i still have notebook after notebook after notebook writing yeah because that helps you you know look at it see it make it really for what you're doing and we're practicing like you would think you know sometimes people think this is all luck but it's a system and it requires practice just like anything else whether you buff whether you bowl you know whether you play music right you have to practice yeah that's right bowl yeah yeah are your knees dancing oh my gosh i love watching your videos oh my niece yeah she was in a show actually at the Lincoln Center on saturday that my whole family went to see i don't even know i didn't even think i posted that whole thing i posted a different one that was another one she was in it look like she had a starring role in it i mean look like she was front and center yeah she had a lead i mean she's gonna end up trying out for the rockets actually i talked her into it i talked her into it and uh because they lowered the height now used to have to be five nine now they lower the height i think it's only five six so i talked her into doing it and she's like oh my god it's so many people i said she she would be a perfect rocket i mean she looks like a rocket she's tall thin beautiful has a great smile so well i have a none
