Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, Lewis. We're going to post the chart today of the DAX for our chart. As you can see, we had a really nice ABCD pattern down there yesterday. Maybe that's the reason why we had a good rally, but we didn't have anything like this particular pattern because we were still quite high up, but we'd had a couple of really hard days down during Monday and Tuesday and early Wednesday. But we did complete a 61% retracement here on the upside. By the way, folks, these charts that I posed for the DAX and the FTSE, they come for Mr. Alan Smith over in the UK, been a student for many years, has become a very good friend, and he's nice enough to send his charts on to me so that I can share them with you here in the den because I really don't do any DAX trading or FTSE trading. I've traded the DAX a few times when I've been in seminars in Europe and it trades just like the S&P, that you can't tell the difference on the chart. Well, you can't tell the difference on any of the charts, but that's a really easy one. Let's take a look at the FTSE, and then I wanted to make a quick comment here about Tom Hougard. Let me get this up here for the FTSE, and you'll be able to see it's much weaker here, and it has been much weaker for quite some time. We'll get this up here. There we go. We'll get this right up here. There you can see the FTSE had the ABCD. You can see the blue Thunderbolt there. Really nice setting it right. Just a little below the 61% retrace. We get a huge high going up to make a three-drive to a top pattern, and then bada-bing, bada-boom. You can see it has a pretty big drop. That's equivalent to what we've done here in the Dow Jones and in the S&P. Now my comment regarding Tom Hougard. Tom has a telegram site that you can go there and view it if you like. It's TraderTraumaTelegram, and he posts all his trades, and he gives a lot of great information. He gives free books, free, just a lot of free stuff. He doesn't charge for anything, and it's all free. He's got several thousand people in that room. I think right around 2200 folks. Some of those people in that room were the most vicious people I have ever seen in my life, what they say about him. I mean, people, I can understand when you're dealing with the public that this kind of stuff happens, but it's really, really sad. He's taken a vacation. He already took the vacation, and then they started to come in and bombard him with all this kind of things that were just totally untrue. Fortunately, the bulk of the people knew exactly what was happening, and they started arguing back and forth. So, I mean, if there's a recipe for frustration in this business, it's try to please everybody, because that is not going to happen. There is just no way that that's going to happen. So, anyway, we certainly enjoyed having Arch Crawford as our guest yesterday. I'm going to have lunch with Arch and Byron Tucker today, which will be a lot of fun for me, because we've been friends with these guys for a very, very long time, and we get to visit with them. Now, as I left you yesterday, oh, I did want to bring a couple of charts up that I think are very, very important. First of all, let's look at the E-mini S&P here, what we've done here thus far in the last few days. Thanks, Mr. Z. I appreciate the comment. You'll see the big ABCD, the downside down there at 3070. Remember that was really close to that 382 retracement that we talked about. Then the market came up. It made yesterday, it made a 61% retracement there, as you can see, and then we exploded to the upside and where do we stop? That's the 61% retracement of the whole move. That's just 3125. So far, we haven't taken that out. We could easily, but that's neither here nor there. It's very important that 3125, because if we take it out, the next one you're looking at is 3140. And as you know, by tweet, by tweet, these things can always go a whole lot farther than you might want to think that they can, because this is why the market has given us a chance to protect ourselves by using stops. So that's a very interesting one. Now, here is another one. I sent the video out on this last night, I believe. I think I'm pretty sure I did. And you'll be able to get this up here and take a quick look at it. This is the crude oil, the Jan crude oil. We got up to 5900, folks. You notice that little red D up there? That's at 5895. And from there, it dropped to 90 pips in a matter of about 30 seconds. I don't know where it's trading now, but it had a big drop from what someone told me right after hitting that perfect ABCD now. Do we know whether this ABCD is valid or not? No, we don't. All we know is that it backed off almost a full dollar after the sell-off. Now, if it goes back above that, that would tell you that this thing is not right and it's going to be going down. Ruby said we're looking at platinum is going to 880 and then to 850 as we talked before. Well, that's a possibility. Ruby, once in a while, these things work pretty good. Let's take a quick look here at Ruby's chart on the, give me one second so we can get this up here at the platinum and we will see what it looks like. Yeah, we're getting pretty close. Let's just get this up here one second here and we'll be able to take a look at it. Yeah, we're at the 15. Yeah, we're there at the 80. We're getting down to that level by golly. That's what it looks like. Well, we're still sort of negative to the goal because we've not been able to get above that 1490 level which was really important. That was at, hi, we made the other day and now we're at 10 bucks below that. So the platinum does look good. The platinum looks really good Ruby for two factors. First of all, that's going to be a double bottom there. Excuse me, I mean you're going to have two targets exactly at roughly the same price, 840 and that's only 40 bucks from where we are right now and that will also be a 61% retracement of the low that we made way back in June. So I would really watch that one very, very closely. It looks like it's going to be pretty interesting but we get to that spot here for sure. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to have Bill Meridian on this week. He's only one day left but we are going to have Tom Hougard on tomorrow. He will be on and hopefully we'll have him on for a little bit longer timeframe because he's taking a trading break and I want to talk to him about how he's handling this abuse that he's taking because it's ruthless and not only that, he's doing it. He tried to help people. I mean he really does. He gave that beautiful book out. He's not a professional writer but he tells it like it is in there and he bears his soul about what he's doing and I think anytime that you can get inside someone's head to talk to them about that I think it's very important and he certainly walks his talk as they say in the trade. What was that? Walking tall with a Buford purser? Anyway, by the way, his idol is Chuck Norris. So if you ever want any Chuck Norris folks, jokes, he has some really good ones in there. I would have loved to have had a book by Frank Towsher. Unfortunately, Frank died at the age of 59. He didn't even get to finish his sentence. He was standing on a street corner with his son in Tulsa and he was talking to his son and he had a massive aortic aneurysm. That's the big artery in the middle of your body that pumps everything from the heart down and boy, you don't have any, it's instantaneous. Anyway, let's move on here and we'll get back to that story we talked about Larry Bird whose birthday was yesterday. 877-927-6648.

Okay, we're back, folks, and I believe we have a caller from Florida. Bill, are you there? I am, Larry. Good morning. Good morning, Gene. What can I help you with, my friend? Larry, in the newsletter, you sent out a chart of the ES this morning earlier and it shows the, it shows them really perfect Fibonacci retracement and it hit the 618, and now it's pulling off of that at the 3125 level. I'm assuming that this would be, you know, you would put a stop above that 618 level and I don't know how you determine the number of kicks you would go above that, and this would be a pretty good entry point. Again, no guarantees, nothing works 100% of the time, but at the moment the ES is slightly pulling back, not a whole lot, but it's pulling back somewhat off of that 6.618 retracement. Yeah, Bill, it was perfect. It hit 3125 and, you know, you're trading, this is a half-hour chart that I posted, but on a half-hour chart, you can get by by using a 6-point stop, which is $300. Well, you know, this contract's worth $150,000. So, I mean, $300 is really a very, very minuscule amount to see if you're going to be right or not. So, if you sold it up there around that 25 level, your stop would be $31.31, so you're only risking $300. So, that's what I put that there for, is to let you know that it's the amount of money that you have to risk to see if you're going to be right or not, because you don't know whether these patterns are going to hold or not. You know, in fact, it hasn't moved very much. I think we're trading at 3119 right now, you know, maybe it'll work, maybe it don't. And the slightest little tweet that could come out of Washington or Timbuktu, and you can see it 20 points higher, 20 points lower in these kind of markets. Now, I understood, Larry, perfect. What a great tutorial that was, and that was very good. Terrific, thank you, Larry. Hey, thanks for calling in, Bill. I really appreciate it, and may God bless. Okay, folks, as I left you the last time, we were talking about, my grandmother's restaurant, Louisa's, there in Derhout, Indiana, it was 1978, and I had just met Larry Bird. He was a junior at Indiana State University, and he was having dinner with one of my mentors and very, very dear friends, Lou Mies, who owned Mies & Company, which later was bought out by one of the big inclamorants, and Lou lives down in Naples, Florida now at Larry's Country Club there, and it's been a good time. But I did get to meet him, and I was able to attend several of his birthday parties that are always, his birthday was December 4th, but the parties are July the 4th, there in Derhout, Indiana, out of Max Gibson's Lake. It's a big fish fry and stuff, and it's always a lot of fun. So let me get on to the story. This is the same restaurant that Ruth Miller and her husband would always eat in, because they lived in Farmersburg, just south of Derhout, and she taught at Indiana, and she was an economics professor there, and I didn't know her very well. I knew her husband, John, and their son, Terry, very well, because I traded soybeans for them while I was at Drexel, and we did gold and silver, too, but we had a very, very lucrative business going with making some money, which was good, but she would go into this restaurant, and many years later, this is now 1986, and she sent me a little note on a napkin from the restaurant. My aunt, who owned the restaurant at the time, took the note and mailed it to me, and there in, I was living at Avila Beach with Raphoni there at the beach house, and that little note said soybeans, I think it was November soybeans, were gonna go off the board. Yes, it was November soybeans, would go off the board around, whatever the price it was, 865, and I wasn't trading, I was still doing expert witnessing for Gibson Dunn and Crutcher and Kiesl and Loga there in California. I was able to pay the bills and having a little bit of fun. I was going through a divorce, I wasn't trading, whenever I have something like that, you just stay away because you're never gonna do anything right. Anyway, that price came up, and I happened to look at it, and so I still had John's phone number, and so I called, and she said, well, I know we haven't talked very much because you always spent time with John and Terry, but I've been doing a lot of work in astrology and I can show you, I know you really like Fibonacci, but I can show you how these relationships are related to Fibonacci. And she said, why don't you come down to Florida? She was living down there in Sarasota during the winter, and she said, why don't you come down and spend a month. And she was remarried now to a really nice fellow from Illinois and another farmer. And she said, why don't you come down and spend some time with us and we'll go over it. So I didn't have anything to do for Thanksgiving. So what I did was I hopped on a plane and I went down to Sarasota and I was going to spend a couple of weeks. I ended up spending just about six weeks, as I recall, and I got back right about the first of the year and I had all kinds of papers. I mean, my goodness, I had everything. Well, we had done so much work. It was unbelievable. We had Neil Michelson from Astro Computing, you know, giving us the dates. We had 20, but you know, showing us the chart patterns. And so we were matching up these aspects with these things on the charts. And so I got back and I had well over 300 pages of stuff. And so I had it spread out all over the dining room table there. And I knew I had to write a book. That's what my plan was. But I didn't know where to start or do anything. But it was right at the first of the year and they were having a big Capricorn party for all the people there at the beach that had birthdays in January. And one of the people that was there was Pam Hearth. She was the chairman of the publishing department and English department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. And she saw all these papers. I had moved them into the bedroom, you know, when the people were there and she walked by and she saw all these stacks of papers and she said, what's that for? And I said, well, I want to do a book. And she said, oh, she said, please let us do it for you. And I says, what do you mean? She says, well, we have a grant from the U.S. government. And we're trying to find someone that we can do a book for. We want to put it all together, the footnotes and everything. And I said, well, what's that going to cost me? She said, well, it's not too bad. She said, all you have to do is file a $50 fee with the U.S. government and non-refundable, of course. She said, but we can take it over and we'll do the whole book. Well, that was a no-brainer for me. I packed up the stuff the next day. I took it up to the university. And I said, here it is. I said, I don't know what to do. And she said, don't worry. She says, we'll do everything. We'll do the cover and everything. You let us know how we do it. Boy, in about, it was about two months later, she came back with just an absolute, I was nearly in tears because it was exactly the book that I published, Astro Cycles, The Trader's Viewpoint. Had all the diagrams and she had prepared a really good front and back cover, and it was really good. So now all I had to do was to sell it. That's going to be the second part of this show today is how I started to sell the book because very, very, very instrumental in where I am today just from what went on during these times, early 1987, when I finished it up. But I'll cover this when we get back. If you have any questions about the charts that are going on, I'll be happy to do it. But frankly, the reason why I'm doing this, I'm not going to do any more writing. There's not going to be an autobiography. So all I'm going to do is to share some stories. I've got a lot of stuff written, and I'll share bits and pieces of those stories. But my writing days are over, boys and girls. I'm not going to be doing any more books. 877-927-6648.

Okay, folks, we're back and we are talking about how I got started writing this book on astrology and we finally got it fixed up by the fixed it by the people at the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. So I had the book. My first call was to Larry Williams down in San Diego. He was living in Rancho Santa Fe at the time. One of the nicer places to live in Southern California. I called him. I told him I had an idea of what I had done. He said, come on down. He said, well, have lunch and I'll take a look at it. I drove down there the following day and it was about a five-hour drive from San Luis Obispo. I got there. He said, look, he said, let's have lunch and then let me read this and come back in about two hours. And he said, here, take the Rolls Royce and go for a ride. He had a brown Rolls Royce and I laughed at him. And I said, there's no way I'm going to drive a Rolls Royce because I was a little over my pay grade. I was a little intimidated. But anyway, what I did was I went and I, you know, I just, I don't remember exactly what I did. I think I went to a coffee shop and I had a Coke or something and waited a couple hours. I came back and he said, what do you have in mind? I said, well, what I'd like to do is if we could co-publish it, you know, Larry Williams with Larry Peseveno. And he looked at me and he said, Larry, he said, I'd love to do that. He said, but I really couldn't do that. And I said, OK, I understand. He said, no, not for the reason you might think. And he said, the reason is, he said, this is a home run. He said, I would be taking a lot of money away from you if we co-publish this and you can do this yourself. I said, I don't even know where to start. He said, look, he reached in his briefcase file cabinet and he pulled out this list of about 3,000 people. He said, this is a list. He said, I think it's relatively current, but I'm not really sure. But he said, all of these people have been interested in some of the esoteric stuff that I've done over the years because he had done some work in astrology too. He said, use that as a base to see if you can get some business. So he gave me the list, copied it out, I took it back to San Luis Obispo and then I went over back to the university and I asked him, what do I do now? And they said, well, what we'll do is we can go to the Handicap Center and they'll hand-address all these envelopes. We'll send out a one-page flyer to sell the book. And so I picked a price of $89, which was a nice Fibonacci number. And so I sent out those 3,000 envelopes with their little flyer in it. And then I sent those out on a Tuesday and I started to wait to see when I'd get my first business. And it came in Friday morning at about 05.30 in the morning. And it was Irving Feldman from New York City. And he said, I'd like to buy the book. And I said, no problem. And I said, here's how you send the checkies. What do you mean send the checkies? No one's going to send the check to you. He said, you have to have credit cards to do this. I said, well, I don't have that access. He said, well, how do you expect to sell any books? I said, well, I figured people would send me a check. Yeah, they say they will, but they won't do it. He said, you've got to have credit cards. So I said, well, I know how to get credit cards. So that was real early in the morning. I called Michael Weintraub, who owns the Michael's furs and leathers there in San Luis Obispo. And he and his father were very dear friends of the family. And his father was a furrier from Santa Barbara. And he had all the accounts that I needed. He even had diners club, believe it or not. So he had American Express and all the visa and all that stuff. And he was retired. And he said, yeah, you can use these cards. He said, you're not going to sell very many. He said, just put a little bit back for taxes. And he said, yeah, we can do that. And so I had it set up within about an hour. And all the billing went through Mr. Milton's furs out of Santa Barbara for astro cycles that first got started. So I called Irving Feldman back and I said, okay, I've got the cards going. And he said, well, how much is a newsletter? And I said, I don't have a newsletter. I'm selling a book. He said, well, the people want to know what these dates are. He said, look, you got to have a newsletter. And he said, you might as well have a hotline. And I said, what kind of doctor are you? He said, I'm internal medicine. I said, how do you know this stuff? He said, well, I've been around a long time, which he had been. And then I had the book. And I had the newsletter, a book, and a hotline. So he said, let's, we figured it out. It came out to $377, a Fibonacci number for the whole thing. I said, oh, I said, I don't think I'm going to sell many at that. He said, well, you've already sold one. That's me. So I started off my day at $377. And I was happier than a little pig running around in the, as you know, what they run around into the pig yard there. And so at the end of the day, that was Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I was still taking orders. Monday morning, I had $33,000 in the bank. And it built from there. So it was really, it really took off and did really well. And I was really nice about it. The book got some nice accolades from the cycled people and stuff. But the main thing was, is I've never had anybody ask for their money back on these books. So that made me feel pretty good. And they're not very expensive, but they still have a little bit of information. So that's really how I got started doing it. I did the newsletter from 1988 through 1993. And then I just got really interested in artificial intelligence and some other stuff. And I just didn't like writing it anymore. So I basically stopped it. So that's how I got into the astrology part. I've seen really good glimpses of how exciting it can be. But folks, I've never seen the Holy Grail. I thought I've had a few times, but it's not out there. The Holy Grail is in the nine-inch cycle, folks. That's a cycle from your left ear to your right ear. That's the one that really means anything. So just keep in mind it has nothing to do with these patterns. It has nothing to do with astrology. It's all about the psychology of what you're looking at when you're looking at these markets. So that's the key is what's the picture in the mirror, your picture, because that would decide whether you're going to be powerful. You see that in Tom Hougard's book, how he did that. He learned to disassociate himself from technical analysis and realized that what he had to do was to take the knowledge that he had and convert that into something that gave him risk control. And that's really what the bottom line is all about. So those are just a few of the things that I learned over the years that there is no Holy Grail. And believe me, I searched a long time for it. It could have a long time ago to looking for it, but it might be there. And look at Jim Simmons, folks. He's only right 50% of the time, and he's the best there is in the business. No one's had a record like he has. 39% a year for 30 years? Give me a break. Anyway, that's what's going on. So 877-927-664. Oh, there's one other sequel to the book. This is my favorite part. It was my birthday in July of that year, July of 87. And I was really going strong, but the stock market was going straight up and everything was going good. And I had a birthday party. And John Rafoni, who I used to live with John now, is living at the big house up in Pismo up on the cliff. And so we had a party. And Fred Grant there in San Luis Obispo, the ophthalmologist, had a big house, and they wanted to do a big barbecue. And so we had a big barbecue. And Fred had two kids, two daughters that were at Cal Poly. And they're a very attractive girl. So as usual, all the boys were congregating around these girls. And so there were about 100 people there. They had a big basketball court. And because everybody knew us from Indiana and a big Larry Bird fan, they gave me a number 33 Boston Celtics jersey. And so I was wearing this jersey. And I will finish this next part. I think you'll like this next part. 877-927-6648. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First Mortgage Program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable.

The Bull Bear Trading Hour with Tom and Tommy O'Brien. Next. OK, folks. I'll finish up this story about the astrology. It was my birthday, 1987. And it was supposed to be a surprise birthday party, but I finally figured it out that there was going to be a party. And there were about 100 people there, which was nice. And they had brought both my daughters. My one daughter was going to school at Becky's, somewhere near where Mr. Basil Chapman lives. And the other one was at UCLA. So they came up for the party. And so I had this green shirt on and Larry Bird shirt. And these kids from the college were there. They were college bad. They played on the college team for San Luis Obispo. And they were out playing on the beautiful basketball court that Fred Grant had built for his daughters who played basketball. And so they were out playing. And they were shooting around and stuff. And I had more than a few glasses of wine. And so they started chiding me about being from Indiana. Come on, play with us. Show us what you got. And they kept saying, come on out. And so I said, all right, all right. So at that time, I was still in really good shape. And I still played. You know, I used to go out and shoot around, which I was pretty good at shooting. I was very good. So I told them, OK, let's play horse. Those of you that you try to match the basket that you shoot one and the person's supposed to match it. I said, OK, we'll play horse. But the old thing is you guys can't shoot anything closer than 15 feet. You've got to be farther back than 15 feet so that I have a chance because I can't dunk the ball or anything like that. So these have got to be trick shots. Oh, no problem, no problem. I said, let's make it a little more interesting. And I pulled out a $100 bill. I said, on the concrete there. I said, OK, let's play five games, $20 each. And let's see who wins. Oh, they started lining up. There were five of them, five or six of them. They were, please, please play. Put some more money out. Put some more money out. So I didn't know what was going to happen. So I went out behind the bushes. There was about 25, 30 feet from the basket. And I fired one and nothing but net. And then I fired another one, nothing but net. I took the first guy out in five shots. Now they were a little bit reluctant. Folks, I was absolutely on fire for about 30 minutes. And then the combination of old age muscles and the wine got to me. And I could hardly hit the bank board. But by then, I had picked up about $80, which I gave it back to the kids. But it was really funny. The funny part about this, my daughters were there. And then they knew that I knew how to play because they had seen old pictures and stuff. But anyway, four or five years later, I'm in Los Angeles at a dinner. And the waiter comes up to me and he said, you don't remember me. He said, but I was at your birth party. Birthday party in 1987 when you destroyed those kids. He said, I thought that was the coolest thing I ever saw. And I always remembered that. It was really kind of funny. OK, that's enough. Let's move on. Anybody have any more questions here in the den? That'll be the end of that. I will try not to do any more of this. But that's pretty much what it is. Yes, they called Larry Bird the Hick from French Lick because he's from French Lick, Indiana. And he was given that nickname by Al McGuire. Who was a big fan of Larry Bird? Of course, when they had that big game in 1979, the finals between Magic and Michigan State and Kansas City. Is that coffee? Do you want to look at Bob? I don't really have an updated coffee chart because I'm updating data and believe me, I'm in a disaster situation in coffee. I still believe, is it above 120 now, Bob? Because the last time I did check it, I believe it was 120. Remember, Ruby and Mr. Z, we're talking about coffee. Look at that, 124. You remember when Mr. Z and Ruby were talking about that puppy when it was trading at 96 bucks a pound? Hello, that's a hell of a move, Ruby and Mr. Z. And that's why being in the den here can help some of you folks. There's some really smart folks in there. They post their trades, what they're doing. They post their stops, and that's a big help. So if you're alone as a trader, take a look at the TFN in den because they've got some really, really smart people in there that are posting some great stuff, which is really good. Okay, I believe that it's definitely a breakout because once we went above the 120 area, Bob, we did break out. You know what? I do have that. Yes, what am I talking about? I have a... It only takes me a few minutes to catch up these days, but once I get moving, I'm all right. Let's get up here. We get up to the coffee. Where are your coffee? There we are. Yeah, here we go. Oh, wow. There we go. Look at this. We even talked about this last week. There we go. This is what we were looking at. There's the target we were looking at was 123. And we're right there right now. There's your ABCD pattern. Bada bing, bada boom. Look at lay, boys and girls. Look down there in October. You see that double bottom, Gartley pattern at 93? That's when Mr. Z was letting it be, and Ruby was on the tee, telling you this is where it's going to be. And here we are at 124 today, right at the ABCD. I wouldn't buy it here because you're in a very, very strong extension here, and you're due for a correction, and you've been up for 10 weeks, basically nonstop, other than that little 3-8-2 retracement at 104. So I wouldn't buy it here, but it certainly does look pretty good. Some of these patterns just happen to work. Remind me to send you 20 bucks, Bob. Okay, we'll move that on. Okay, Mr. Z, let's see what's on here. What else you want to know about? Okay, I'd like to see a correction down. Yeah, around 9 or 10 cents is what I'd be looking for. Right, there you go. 9 cents down will take you to 116. So take a look at it. I hope that helps. And coffee's had one heck of a run there, but just patterns, folks. I know nothing about the coffee market other than it's mostly of it is Brazil and Africa. Most of the coffee comes from there, as I recall. All right, one other question that someone asked is about the big pattern in the natural gas that we've been waiting for, and if you'll get this up here, we'll be able to see this pattern has completed in the natural gas, and we had a nice 20. We've already rallied. We only got up to 250 yesterday. Now we backed off a little bit in that. So we're still in the correction mode here. Anything above 250 in the natural gas is going to be a big move out of that area. By the way, Bob, thank you for asking me to put up that coffee chart. I didn't realize it was going to be so spot on. So that $20 bill will be in the mail to you as soon as possible. Alrighty, let's see. No more guests this week. Next week, we're going to have the wizard himself. Mr. Winsky will be on on the 11th of December. That's the day before we have the full moon, and he'll be talking to us about some of the exciting things that he's looking at. And then hopefully we will have Bill Meridian on next week as our guest tomorrow. We will have Tom Hougart on, and I hope to have a little extra time with Tom tomorrow so that we can chat with him a little bit more about some of the things that we want to see. Thanks, Bob. I appreciate the comments. Alright, let's take one other look. Someone else asked about another commodity here that we haven't talked about very often. That is the copper. And as you'll see here, copper is still in this nice trading range here. Hold on here. Oh, I have a transport chart, Mr. Bill. You bet you there's the... Basically, copper is in a pinnit here, folks, from 273 to 250. So there's nothing going on there. I do have the transportation, however. Let's get that up, and we will be able to share that with the folks. I believe there it is. And this is it. Now, the transports, this was as of Friday because, you know, it was divergence to the downside. And we've had a pretty substantial move to the downside on this. So let's pay attention to that. So far, that number that we looked at today in the S&P at 3125 is held. We've dropped about 12 points below that, but we'll see. So let's take a commercial break here. We'll get back and wrap up the show.

Since 1984, Basil Chapman has been using the Chapman Wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion. While originally hand-drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later, Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence. Using the Chapman Wave methodology, along with other indicators, Basil Chapman advises his subscribers of his expert market opinion each market day with his opening call newsletter.

I just posted a chart for the S&P cash, the SPY. If you'll notice here that we've completed several major patterns up here. You've got a big ABCD pattern. You've got a 135 pattern. Three drives to a top. You've got everything that you could look for. Remember, this was as a Friday and we had a big drop, as you can tell, from what happened on Monday and Tuesday and early Wednesday of this week. We've snapped back a little bit. So this retracement that we had today at the 61% retracement is certainly very, very important. Folks, I don't know whether this is the high of the year or not. I don't really care. It's just a tradable pattern. Now, there's a possibility that it could. And if we go below that 382 level at 3060, which is a long way from that, but that's one Tweet-A-Way, of course, in the S&P cash, that would tell us that, yes, this is a major, major correction. And we'll know more, of course, in a couple of weeks. But by then, you know, the fat lady certainly will be dancing and singing and most of the menu will be ordered already. So let's keep in mind. Thank you for putting up with my little retropra of whatever you want to call it, of what I did. I've got a bunch of these things that I probably should share because some of them are pretty funny. And I know you get tired of looking at the charts. That's for sure. If you don't, there's something wrong with you because the charts are not really fun to look at. So that's the key to paying attention to this stuff, I believe. So anyway, I've been very fortunate to do what I do. Here I am going to be hitting to the big, going to be a date furlong pretty soon. And it's been a really great race. I hope we got a lot more races to run. I've just been very, very fortunate with the people I've met and stuff. So that's it. So live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless and remember, try not to miss the show tomorrow because we're going to have... Thanks a lot, Jim. You're comparing me. You have a choice between listening to me and Nancy Pelosi. Oh, you picked me. Well, that's good. Gee, that's really great. See you tomorrow, folks. May God bless.
