 All right, I guess that's enough time for everyone to get in here. So let's get started. So today's webinar, guys, is gonna be similar, but also different. So we have Chad Hessing, who is the president of Cobra Trading, joining us today on our webinar. So he has a couple of things that he wants to talk about. So the format, the structure for today's webinar is gonna be, Chad is gonna come on. He's gonna talk about Cobra Trading for a little bit. We're gonna be fielding a brief Q&A after. And then after that's gonna be the normal new member webinar where Tosh walks you through the platform. He kind of shows you the nooks and crannies of MIC, the little secrets around here. And then at the end of it, him and Joe Kelly open it up to a Q&A. So without further ado, Chad, you wanna get started? Absolutely, yes, sir. Well, thank you again. First off, well, thank you for having me. I really appreciate it. It's not too often we get a chance to speak through this forum. You know, my guys and me included spend day in and day out answering questions in that the Broker Talk channel and I know Dan is on the Cobra Sales channel. So we do our very best to answer every single question you guys have for us. So that's the first and foremost. You know, we really pride ourselves since day one of MIC in doing what we do best is customer service. I think any of our customers, you know, any of our customers that have spoken with us, I hope you find the experience to be something worthwhile. But yeah, yeah. Number one thing, Chad, is access, right? So it's like when someone signs up with Cobra Trading, it's not like they're just another number like at Robinhood, E-Trade, all these other places. They have direct access to their team, right? They have access to you. They have access to Chris. They have access to Dan. You know, whenever there's a problem or whenever there's something good, you know, you have access to your team. So I think that's also something that's very important that people should really understand is, you know, when you are a part of Cobra Trading, you join their family. There is a reason why, you know, Bao and I use Cobra Trading. There's a reason why we recommend it, you know? We only want to give you guys the best platforms out there to make sure that you guys have the best odds for success, you know? And Cobra Trading has been with us since day one. You know, they've shared our vision. They have been a true partner in every sense of the word. And, you know, we're gonna make sure that Chad keeps innovating. He's gonna make sure that we keep innovating. And, you know, this is the way that it should be. So sorry, Chad, continue. No, no, hey, thank you for putting in there. Yeah, Cobra's been around since 2003. So we're not the new player on the block. I've been in the industry 25 years. So I've seen it all. I've seen the dot-down boom. I've seen, you know, everything in between the biotech boom. Oh, shoot. I think we lost you, Chad. I don't know how the hell that happened. Let me get you back. That's funny. Problems here. Are you back? Okay, good. Okay, yeah, I know we flipped away with the connection there. One of the big questions, you know, how are we different? And it comes up all the time. What makes Cobra different than, you know, a thinker swim or a trade station or a trade zero or something like that? And the big, big thing there, you know, there's customer service. You know, people always say, hey, but you're not free. I mean, we're not free for a reason. We get you the best fills. We're not selling your order flow. You know, the selling order flow is a huge thing. People don't realize all the time that the Robin Hoods of the world are taking your orders. They're grabbing hold of it and they're rerouting that to a market center and getting paid on it. We don't get paid on this order flow. You know, with a truly direct access platform, your order is going directly to the exchange, the route that you pick. So, yeah, you know, you don't like the way that bats is filling. You send it to ARCA. You don't like the way ARCA is filling. You send it, you know, to another route. We do have free routes. So you can send it there as well. But that's your choice with a direct access platform. So that's a big key there. You know, another thing, making, you know, the difference between the free brokers in Cobra, you know, if you use margin, Cobra has a 5.25% margin interest rate. With an E-Trade, you're looking at a 10-plus percent rate. So that is a huge, huge discerning factor. I mean, they're gonna get their money somewhere. It's just hidden, you know, with that. So that's kind of the main thing. You know, also fitting in that same category, but a big niche of Cobra is the short locates. You know, that is a big topic that always comes up. You know, what can you get me for locates versus the other firms? Probably my best answer there is, if it's available on the street, if it's a legit stock that one could get a borrow, we're gonna get our hands on it. So there's a process and I can do my best to explain it, but the process is pretty simple. The first thing you wanna do is come to us for the free shares. There are no brokers in our space that give free locates a non-easy to borrow stocks. So the way we do that is we're gonna, you're gonna reach us on chat. We're gonna come back to you. If we can get it for free from our clearing firm, Wedbush Securities, if we get it for free, we give it to you for free. We're not marking it up. We're not trying to make a buck on that. Everyone wants to benefit, of course, and everyone wants free locates. Of course, you know, there's 10,000 names loaded in every day that are easy to borrow, but we're talking about the ones that are not easy to borrow, the ones that are not readily available in which we have to go out and find. So if we get it from free from our clearing firm, we give it to you. If it's not available there, we have four separate locate sources on the platform in which you can select the different, you can select availability and it's go through and see what's available and you can also see what those prices are. So you can shop. You're not stuck with a broker that says, oh, yep, we have a locate monitor, but we have one source and you have to just pay whatever we feel we want to charge. The third party sources that we have through the platform, their prices are completely determined by those venues. So we have no control over that whatsoever. You can take the cheapest locate, reserve those shares and they're yours for the day. So that's a big piece of that. Yeah, I want to kind of chime in again and just kind of mention that having free locates is something that shouldn't be kind of passed on, right? So every single day, we're looking for stocks to trade. Every single day there is crazy movers happening and if I am able via Cobra Trading to get the borrows that I'm looking for basically free, I'm saving myself hundreds and $100 a day which equates to a bunch of money on the year. I mean, I was using a previous broker before Cobra Trading and my locate fees were like 10 or $15,000 a month. And ever since I switched to Cobra, my locate fees went down to $2,000 a month or even a thousand. And the point is that you want a broker that is your partner as well, right? So you want a broker that if they're getting free shares they're passing that along to you for free. They're not marking it up, they're not doing anything like that. So to me, the fact that if you wake up early, if you contact the chat, if you are in there and asking that if there is availability, you guys are gonna give it. And it's not like you guys give a big chunk to only the big traders. I know that you guys divvy it out and make sure that it's even and fair. There's other brokerages out there that save all their heart to borrow stock for people with million dollar accounts. But what I like about you guys is you guys keep it fair. There's no special perks, there's no special benefits. Everyone is treated equally. And I think that's really important. Right, and to add to that, we don't have a special locate source for their big dollar traders. You're right, it's a first come, first serve. You guys know that and we do our best to limit the number of shares so that everyone gets some of those free shares. But in the end, it's a first come, first serve. We're not gonna deny the first person that comes in because they're the first person that comes in. We're gonna give out those shares. And a second piece to that in terms of, I guess the quote on fairness in this market, there are a lot of brokers that charge an overnight fee. They charge anywhere from a two times overnight fee, a multiple of that initial fee up to a seven times locate fee, just for holding that stock overnight. I, you know, at Cobra and my knowledge of the regulations, I don't believe that to be a valid charge. We do not charge that. So you pay for what you paid for that day. If you hold it overnight, there's no extra charge. So someone tell me, you know, I may be not right, but you know, our audits and our experience, no one said that that's a fee that is a valid fee. So, you know, if your broker is wanting to charge you a fee for holding overnight, I mean, so be it, I just don't fully agree with it. Yeah, you guys keep it fair, right? If you guys aren't, you guys are kind of just making it so that the people that are using Cobra trading are getting treated the right way. They have access to you guys. They have relocates from time to time. And you know, also an additional benefit is, you know, if you're an MIC member, you get to save on commissions as well. So, you know, Chad's been with us since day one. And you know, what we do at MIC is we try to provide our members, you guys, with the most value possible. And that's where Chad comes in and gives us, or gives you guys an exclusive discount on commissions as well. So imagine, not only are you gonna sometimes not pay for locate fees, locate fees, you're gonna get discounts on your commissions, which essentially makes the whole proposition of using Cobra trading a no-brainer, right? Right, right. And you know, we have Cobra, you know, a little differentiation. We have Cobra trading, which is our main, you know, focus from day one. That is for accounts that are above 27,000. That's the threshold for opening an account with Cobra. We also have Venom Trading at www.venomtrading.com. That has a lower $5,000 threshold. The big difference between the two is the clearing firms. Now, the clearing firms, Cobra trading clears through Wedbush Securities, which has been in business for 60 years, rock solid, huge balance sheet. And then we have Interactive Brokers, which clears for Venom Trading. So both very, very big name clearing firms, very stable, you know, heavily insured. So there's no fear there. That's where your money is held with Cobra trading. So if you haven't heard of Cobra and you wanna know, hey, where's my money sitting? It is sitting with those rock solid, huge clearing firms. And that's something not to overlook with the other firms. Always ask where your broker clears. It's pretty obvious that in each trade or a TD Ameritrade or an Interactive themselves, clear for themselves. But smaller firms, in order to save a buck, sometimes clear through unknown and ill-funded clearing firms. So it's a good way for them to save a buck and they may or may not be as stable as the firms that we've chosen. So that's, we've all often been asked why we don't add more clearing firms. I honestly don't feel that there are that many clearing firms to choose from. So that's some more, you know, that's just a little bit of more on how we look out for your best interests. So, you know, it's everything we do. Yeah, and one more thing is kind of going back, going back to access. You know, if you ever need to withdraw money or you're trying to pay yourself or give yourself a paycheck, I mean, you guys know from even my account personally that I wire out almost once a week, maybe once every other week. And, you know, the money comes in the same day, there's no issues, there's no problem. So, you know, oftentimes, if you're using the wrong broker, you might have to kind of push them to even give you back your own money. But point is that, you know, if you're making money in the market and you're pulling out and you want to reward yourself, you know, you guys send a check, you guys could wire, you guys could do everything as well. So, they have access, they have access to everything. Right, and that access is really as easy as going to our Cobra Trading website and clicking on that little chat link, that goes directly to all our licensed brokers. So that if you click on that button, it is going out to every single one of our brokers, including myself, it flashes up on my screen that someone's trying to reach, you know, into Cobra. And everyone that responds to that is a licensed broker that is fully capable of answering every question. So you're not bouncing through a phone queue. You're not bouncing through an automated assistant. It is us. I mean, it is, you know, when you hit that live chat, it is a representative of Cobra. We're all sitting here in this building and yeah, you know, that's it. Also, I feel like I'm kind of didn't lead off in the best way in terms of explaining Cobra Trading. Cobra Trading was a company I founded myself in 2003. We have a small team. We have, you know, less than a dozen team members. We are here to serve active traders. That's what we do. We don't have, we don't give advice. We don't have banking. We don't have all this other fluff that other firms have. We have the best software platforms that we feel are out there. If there's a better one out there, we're more than happy to look at it. You know, we have, you know, I mentioned the clearing firm, I mentioned the customer service, but we are here to serve active traders. So it is nothing. You're not two million people that are all in the dark when their servers go out. You know who we are. And you know, if you reach that, you know, click that live support, you're gonna get us. You know, if you call our number, you're not gonna get a phone queue, you're gonna get us. And any service request like Alex mentioned is going to come through us directly and we're gonna handle it. It's not, we're not shoving you off. We're not treating you different than the other trader. You're gonna, your problem is gonna be handled and handled now. Awesome. I have some questions coming in chat. So let's, let me start to field these questions out. So does covert trading accept Canadians? No. And I, you know, we've tried, we've tried breaking that barrier. And I honestly, it's near impossible. So as a U.S. broker gaining access into Canada. But you do accept international accounts other than Canada, no? Every, almost nearly everywhere, right? Canada and Australia. Those two countries, they do very well in protecting their own and only allowing their country's accounts. So we would literally from my understanding have to set up a branch in Canada to offer Canadian accounts. So no on that, I wish we could. And I don't know the magic recipe that anyone else can as well, not being a Canadian firm. Awesome. So does anyone else have any questions? We'll kind of go through all the stuff in here as well. Another question that I think is important is what time could people start locating shares of covert trading? You know, what time is the best time for free shares? What time is the best time for paid shares? Can you kind of maybe expand on that? Yeah, yeah. So right now, 7 a.m. central. So an hour and a half before the market is typically when the live cues come up. So if we, people send an email request, people send in chat requests. We do see those, but we still literally turn on the systems. Our guys are here earlier, early ramping up the shares and getting in the queue. So I'm not gonna tell you not to come in the chat and say, hey, I'm looking for this share, these shares, these shares and these shares for free. You can do that. The each one of the locate sources come up a little bit different. They come up, I believe, still at seven. I can come back in the message and find out which one of the locate one, two, three or four come up the soonest or in that order. But 7 central is about that go time for all of them. Gotcha. And someone else asks a question. There's no overnight fee when holding a stock short. So what these other brokers do is they charge you a three times or six times locate fee plus short interest at co-operating. You guys do not pay that additional locate fee. You just have to pay short interest which is industry standard. There's no way around short interest. So you don't pay an additional multiple locate fee. So for example, let's say you located 1,000 shares at two cents a share. Well, if you hold it overnight, you're gonna have to pay 12 cents a share just to be able to hold it and short interest fee. So with Cobra, you don't pay that additional locate fee which is a big, big saving. Absolutely. And the short interest fee, we have no control over that at all. That's WebBush, that's a street rate. Yeah, that is a clearing firm, not you guys. Some firms market up. I've heard of some firms charging a 2%, neg rate is the official term, but some people are three, four. So maybe clearing firms are different. In my 20 years of experience, they should all be the same. So if I would love to compare with someone sometime if they think their neg rate is high, especially on a high flyer. But yeah, I have no control over that and that's just passed directly along through from the clearing firm. Yep. Will you guys ever offer poor order pricing instead of per share? You know, we don't just due to the fact that we clear clearing firms that we use charge us on a per share basis. So it makes it difficult. You know, we've worked out some custom schedules where, you know, a 5,000 share max or something like that. But it always comes down to what our cost is on a per share basis. And that's the true definition of the direct access is that we're paying, you know, a small, small amount on each share, you know, just like you would on some of the routes. We do have free routes. We do have a handful of free routes that don't charge any fee there. But the per ticket, yeah, it kind of goes back to the payment for order flow item. And we just don't have a clearing firm that, you know, kicks us back anything where we can make money on a 50,000 share order. Yep. Do international, I mean, do European clients who joined Venom have to abide by the PDT rule? Yes, every US broker has to do PDT. So it's not just Cobra, Venom, any firm that is based in the US has to follow SEC PDT rules. Gotcha. One question is, if I locate shares, are those shares mine for the entire day? Yes. If you locate shares, you have them all day. You could use them in and out as many times as you want. Correct. What is the minimum amount to open up for international traders? Well, for MIC we've lowered it. We've always had a $50,000 threshold for international accounts. For MIC, I know there's a lot of international people out there. We've lowered that to the same 27,000 as the normal account. So yeah, we'd love to have you. It's a little more legwork on our part, but it's worth it just to make sure we service all the MIC members we possibly can. Yep. Does Venom trading offer the same locates as Cobra? And I think the answer is they're similar, but not the same because they use two different clearing firms, correct? Right, and Venom is going to share the same locate inventory as Interactive Brokers, the clearing firm. Whereas Cobra, of course, has everything that Wedbush has, thus the free shares, but also we can stack on top of those third party locate sources. So it honestly is quite a bit more aggressive and quite a bit better at Cobra, but not to diminish how good Venom still are. The Venom's locates are still going to be better than a TD Ameritrade or a Schwab or something like that, in my opinion. Exactly, and it's what you get what you pay for as well, right? So if you have a $25,000 account with Cobra, you're going to have more access to locates. You're going to get free locates. You're going to get the top notch stuff and Venom is still great, but at $5,000 to start, you're going to get the Interactive Brokers type of stuff and it's not that they're bad, it's not that they're good, but I think Cobra is the king of the castle when it comes to locates, when it comes to commissions fees, but the benefit of Venom is not only are you getting access to the Interactive Brokers list, you're getting the customer service, you're getting the perks, you're getting the benefits as if you are trading at Cobra. Right, yeah, so you're going to have the award-winning IB platform, no software costs, no nothing, but the added benefit of coming with Cobra, number one, you get the same 25% discount, so that comes in lower than the first tiered IB, but you're going to get Cobra support, no phone queues, still the free software platform, and it's definitely a win-win for you guys because no one wants to wait through an IB queue and then have to verify your first three children and your dog's name to get in, to get any help, we're going to do our best to know who you are and be able to help you out. No, a question from Bao is, can you talk about the ECN rebates, which helps pay for the commissions? Right, right, okay, so for those of you that don't know, many of the ECNs have a add liquidity and a remove liquidity fee, that's add liquidity fee gives you a rebate, so if I offer out on a sale, I get a rebate, that, for example, two-tenths rebate is going to reduce your commission, so if you're paying a three-tenths commission and then you get a two-tenths rebate, your net on that trade is a one-tenth commission, so that is something you definitely, definitely want to take advantage of as you progress with trading. If you can, many of our traders will use a free route to enter a trade and then offer out on an ECN, so in the way in, even if you remove liquidity, you only get the three-tenths and then on the way out, you offer to out into the strength or whatever it might be and then it reduced your commission to only one-tenth, so that, I think that's what you're referring to, correct? Yeah, exactly, so if you add liquidity, you get a rebate, if you take liquidity, you have to pay a fee, so if you are using the CAR KL, the CAR-CAL route, which I use, if you add liquidity, you get money for that if you're just sitting on the bid or sitting on the ask. Someone asked in the room about allowing trading prior to 7 a.m. We allow trading anytime there's the markets open, so as far as allowing trading, not to be confused with getting a locate, we are open, you mentioned that ARCA route, that route is gonna be open when that, the first trades of the day to the last trades of the day, so I think believe it's 4.30 in the morning until 8.30 at night, so we have no restrictions as to, we have, Cobra has no restrictions as to when you can trade, it's limited to when the ECNs or the routes will allow trading. Yep, and Cobra is not just for stocks, right? You guys have options and all that stuff as well, right? Correct, Cobra is equities and options. As far as the Venom piece, because of IV, it's equities, options, 4X and futures, so it's kind of the whole spectrum there. So you're telling me I could convert my account to a 4X account? Yeah, same account number and everything, so yeah, you could trade the Euro dollars spread all you want. All right, well, it was nice knowing you guys, I'm gonna go to 4X now, so. Chad, sign us up, bro. Yeah, no thanks. I mean, 4X, I guarantee there are traders out there, but that is definitely not my expertise. Nor are. I think there's one last question and then I'll let you go Chad, because I know you are busy and have a lot of stuff to do. What is the catch for the free shares? I'm sure that it depends on some things, but I think the truth is there is no catch. If you guys have access to it, you guys give it out. The only catch that I would see is, you can't expect to wake up at 9.25 in the morning and ask for free shares when someone like me is there at 7 a.m. getting in there earlier, so. The catch is, it's first and foremost, only available through our live chat. I mean, so you can't go into one of our locate one, two, three, or four in the software system and get free shares. It's gotta come from us. It is a first come, first serve basis, true, but the biggest thing is the inventory. I mean, if it's a big name stock and we have almost unlimited inventory, we're gonna pump it out and pump it up and pump it out, but sometimes, we get the first 100,000 shares and we think it's gonna just keep rolling in and that's it, that WED Bush is out and then we hope they refresh it, but often they won't and that's it. And then we just gotta tell you, hey, go to the locate sources and that's all we can do is give out what we have. Yep, awesome, awesome. Additionally, when we're able to kind of post meetups again, we wanna have our first meetup back at Colbert Trading's headquarters, so stay tuned for that. Hey, it's a brand new building. You guys, I can't wait to show it off. There's one more thing. Someone said, I use Schwab and the commissions are free. The locates are cheap, but they don't have the small cap locates I am looking for. Going from paying zero commissions to paying commissions with a higher locate fee is something I need to think about. Well, for me, if someone tells me, all right, you could trade, what was something moving today? You could trade Kodak for free, only on the long side, no problem, but if you pay a small fee, you could have access to shorting it. For me, it's the cost of doing business. If I have to pay a dollar to make $10, I'm always gonna choose that. So instead of sometimes maybe people are a little bit cheap and they don't wanna think that way, think about how much money you can make by investing in that as well. Whatever Schwab has, Colbert Trading has, plus more guys. You know, and with that, back to that free commission question, and it's a very valid question. We answer it all the time. The thing to consider there is you're paying three 10s of a cent per share to Colbert, but you're slippage on that trade. You're allowing them to work your order, and no one even hesitates when you go to buy it at $8.15, and it fills at $8.16, you're like, oh well, and that is the slippage. So you just paid a penny without even knowing it instead of just taking it from the ECN that was showing there and paying three 10s of a cent. So you really, it appears free, and it appears like you're getting a great deal, but they don't do anything for free. So they're getting, you know, they're selling your order to the best taker. So, you know, there's best efforts in terms of execution, but that just means they have to stay within a bounds. More often than not, you're gonna have slippage, and I would argue that it's often more than the three 10s you'd pay for commissions. Yep, exactly. And one more thing is balancing. If you guys are using the Robin Hood stuff, you know, how can you compete against someone like me and Bao that are using a broker like Colbert Trading that is, you know, like the Ferrari of brokers, you know, at the end of the day, I want to be able to give myself the best opportunity to succeed. And like Bao said, you try to save five bucks and you lose 500 bucks. So guys, invest in your platform, invest in your broker, choose a broker that is going to be your partner. And that's basically it. So I don't know if you have anything else to say. Also, one other thing too, one other quick dig. We, you know, in our 18 years of business, we've never had an outage that lasted more than, you know, minutes, let alone days with no explanation. So I think, you know, you play stupid games, you know, you get stupid results. And I think the platform you said it all, you know, really is your lifeline into the market. So if you're relying on refreshing your browser and clicking from screen to screen to make a living, you know, that it's kind of silly in my opinion. Don't jinx us by saying that, that you've never had an outage. Knock on some wood for me, please, somewhere. I crossed my fingers and knocked on wood. So where would we go? Where the hell did Joe come from? I know, that scared me too. Awesome guys, awesome. All right, Chad, thank you so much for coming and helping us out. I look forward to having our meetup in your new offices hopefully soon when this all ends. Perfect. Well, I will put myself on mute and if there's questions at the end, I will stick around as long as you need me. Sounds good. If anyone has any questions, Cobertrading Chad is in our chat. So you have direct access to the president of Cobertrading in our room. So thanks guys. Hey, thank you. All right, it's your show now. All right, brother, let's, let me see how I can switch this over real quick. It's just the same as usual, right? Start share, let's see. Yep. Host disabled attendee screen sharing. Can you allow me access? Okay, try now. All right, let me try again. One sec. So you guys can see my pretty screen. All right, can you guys see and hear me? Yep, looks good on mine. Awesome. Naked man on there, what's wrong? Oh shit, I didn't clear my history. So this is the new member webinar guys. Now we're going to get back to kind of like the usual routine we do each week where I'm going to basically introduce everything. So we got a lot of stuff to talk about today. I'm really excited. I definitely, definitely, definitely just wanted to voice my own and kind of last opinion when it comes to Cobra guys. I have been using them for years. They are my main brokerage of choice. I have a couple of brokerages, but dude at the end of the day, Cobra is king. They're amazing. I've never, ever had an issue with them. We partied with Chad. He's the coolest guy ever, man. They have the best customer support ever and I would vouch for them every single day of the week. And if you are talking about something like Schwab or TD Ameritrade, look when it comes to day trading, man, that's like a Honda Accord versus Rolls Royce, man. There's just no comparison. And especially if you're a short bias trader, you need, need, need a DMA broker like Cobra. So just wanted to voice my opinion. Hope you guys take that into consideration and hear what Chad had to say. And because it's the topic of conversation right now, I'm actually going to show you how to access Chad right here. If you go into broker talk, this is the channel with all the information on our brokerages and Chad is in here. So you can just scroll up, see the links, see what you need. They're in here literally all day guys, making sure that your questions are getting answered. As you can see, Chad is right here. All you got to do is click this, open up a message and that's how you can create a personal DM with Chad. One of his team members and gets you started the right way, guys. So all the links are in there and definitely take advantage of that. So the first thing I want to talk about is our accelerator course. If you guys are not familiar with what this is, we have created, actually Joe Kelly created, I should say it took him six months, our main moderator, Joe Kelly, who just popped in here to say hello. This is an eight hour course, seven, eight hours guys. It is literally designed that if you know nothing, if you know a ton of stuff, if you've been around for a couple of years and you're still having trouble, this is literally a combination of everything we have ever taught at MIC, everything that needs to be discussed and everything that is going to cut your learning curve down and make you a profitable trader. And by the end of it, by the end of it, you are confidently going to be able to place your first trade with the knowledge at hand. So like I said, guys, all inclusive, everything we've ever discussed or taught, it is in this course. If you don't have this course, you can text me at 213. In fact, I'm gonna write it out just so you guys can see it the whole time as I move through this webinar. Text me at any time for anything MIC related at 213-458-5997. And I'll keep this up here for you guys who don't see it later on. So the thing that I wanna get very clear to you guys is just like what a couple of you were asking, like, is it worth it to spend the extra money to get something like covert trading or is it worth it to get something like the accelerator course? Yes, guys, this is a career. If you wanna make this a career, you cannot treat it like a hobby. You need the accelerator course. You need to get in our chat. You need to understand what we're talking about, right? You need to know that there are sharks in this industry and there are like minnows, man. And like if you're competing with guys with a certain level of quickness because they have the pro broker like Bauer Alex and Alex is waking up, dude. When most of you guys are asleep, he's Eastern Standard Time. So he's waking up at like 4 a.m. and his time. So you gotta have the edge and these are gonna provide you the edge that you need. Simultaneously, we are actually announced kind of like an unadvertised Labor Day sale. All you have to do is text me to get rates, guys. Yeah, Alex is up before the first print of 4 a.m. and I know that sick bastard has already probably two Espresso's to three Espresso's deep, dude, I'm telling you. There's nobody more dedicated to his trading career than Alex, so you should be following his lead. You should be watching and reading his watch list every day. You should have the same broker. You should be doing the routine and process that has made him very successful and know it didn't come from Forex. So right now, guys, like I said, just very quick, I'm not gonna harp on this, but we are having a Labor Day sale. So if you guys want, man, we're trying to give you guys a little bit more time to lock in some really nice promotions right now. Just text me this sale and everything goes back to full price. This ends Monday the 7th at midnight and that'll be Labor Day. So just text me, my number's right here, it's right there, and we'll get you started in the club if you have any questions about trading in general, if you have any questions about the accelerator course, what are packages include, anything like that. Now, when it comes back to the webinar, this is our handshake into MIC for you guys. We're extending our hand, like we're so excited to meet you. If you just signed up, man, we couldn't be more excited and we want to prove to you guys that this is the place to be and we want to show you that we are here to support in every way further. So I wanna, especially for our new guys who haven't had a chance to really kind of see what MIC is about. Maybe you just joined today, maybe you joined yesterday. Today I'm gonna talk about the MIC website, the video library, our proprietary trading strategies, how to start trading, Slack platform, how to contact us. And then at the end I'm gonna bring my friend Joe on and we are probably gonna discuss the craziness that is this market and what happened today. So first thing I wanna do is introduce the tab program. Woody, if you are here, give me a thumbs up or not. If you aren't, then I'll just introduce myself. But if you are here, buddy, I'd love to bring you on. All right, you are. So let me allow you to talk real quick. One sec. Let me find Woody. Woody's our tab manager, guys. So one sec. I'm gonna, Paul Nelson, there we go. Loud to talk. Hello. Woody. Hey, what's up, Josh? What's up, partner? How you doing, man? Good, good. So let's say apologize for not being around last week. Just come ahead, Fry. Had to get straightened out. So I'm back myself. Sometimes we just gotta take a day to ourselves, right? You know, being in this industry, man, because we're on such constant adrenaline all the time, whether you're a profitable or unprofitable trader, you know, we are, there's a small version that is gambling and we're always on a sense of adrenaline and we are chasing the next P&L and hopefully sticking a process in the meantime, but I get it, man, every now and then you need a day just to get back to your thoughts, calm your mind, because this is, you know, it's kind of a crazy job we have, isn't it? It is, it is. And I gotta say, you know, I have multiple tabs and they got me out on the straight and narrow, helped me get my head straight faster and quicker, you know, and we had issues about like, you know, styles and setups, but having someone to bounce those ideas off, it proved to me personally, again, that you need one, because when you sit there by yourself, your learning curve takes forever and that doesn't matter if you're studying or you're bouncing ideas off each other. So, you know, get one, get one, get one, it helped me out dramatically. So- That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, so sorry to go on the ranch, but yeah. Guys, we designed this program, this is what's called the Trading Accountability Buddy Program. We have a channel for this up here. This is our Slack chat. So if you guys were to go to Trading Account Buddy, this is the guy in charge of getting you set up with what we call a tab partner, TAB, a partner in crime, man. That one, Alex, have had each other for years. I've had various people, you know, you could have two members, you could have one friend, you could have seven, whatever you want, we are designed to help you link up with traders of a certain skill level that it hopefully matches here so you can grow together. And you know, just, I don't want to get too much into it because I want, what do you say? But what does it look like if I'm a brand new member? Like what is a tab partner? Like why do I need one? Like maybe, you know, things like that. Well, like you said, you know, go to the Trading Accountability Buddy channel and check that out. I mean, this week, Klaus working and making matches. And you know, if you're still a shy trader or you feel like you don't want to be too tiny to your other tabs, send me a DM. I can help you there, it's not a problem. But yeah, you know, it's your brother in arms. You know, we make a gym analogy all the time. It's so, so true. And I really sort of think of each mod as a specialist for the gym. You know, you have one that's really good at rowing, you have another one that's really good at weightlifting. And so when you have a tab, you can balance these ideas off each other when you're talking with a mod. And so your learning curve goes a lot faster and it makes it better because the redundancy as a mod, like you guys get, if you have three or four traders asking the same question, it makes it easy for you. You know, you don't have to explain it one time or go check out this one video. So it is a learning curve for everyone. It helps everyone be faster and better. And this, yeah, that's, I love that, that's nice, pal. That is funny. But yeah, I mean, and I must say, we've had great success because we're really trying to push what we call, like the tag trading counting groups, you know, three or more, you know, I wouldn't go over six, but you know, sometimes someone has to take a day off. So if you've got two other guys to trade with instead of your normal three, you're not alone still. Yeah, like one of those, like one of those cowboy guns, right, like with this, like a revolver, like with the six chambers or whatever. It's like, if two guys are out, man, you still got four bullets left. Yeah, exactly. So I mean, you know, we're just here to help you get through that learning curve. And you need a tab to go through the accelerated course. Please, I had that happen all the time. In fact, last week, you know, I went through the accelerated course again, from beginning to end, but I did it with some new traders. And it was, it was a nice thing for me because there's some stuff I forgot. So, you know, if you want to study body, not a problem. If you want to do paper trading, paper trading, you need a tab, not a problem. If you do a lot of it. You know, Woody, I want to say it like this because the thing that's so cool about the tab program guys, and specifically if you have a couple of partners, which I actually really am for, I'm really for, you know, having two to three. Here's why, because if you really get on a hot streak and maybe you, maybe blow way past in talent or skill level, your tab partners and stuff, it's a way to remain humble. It's a way to remain grounded. It's a way for them to sometimes pull you back from your own fucking ego and be like, hey dude, you know what, man? You're kicking butt. We love it. But just remember, man, you know, you may be, there's always a stock around the corner that you can't keep adding to until you're right. Or you can't keep doing this, you know? Yes, because it killed Tesla yesterday, doesn't mean you've got to do it today. I mean, it's, you know, every day we all started zero, but then, you know, when you go on a 10 day winning streak, you do not want to give up half of what you made or all of it. So, and that's what a tab does, keeps you accountable, you know? You wake up every day and you remind each other, and you all start out at zero. So, yeah, it's so true, man. Have someone keep you in check. And especially like, you know, if my wife gets mad at me, you know, I could talk to my tabs and they can help me straighten out so I don't take it out on the market. Dude, I'm telling you right now, Mormons figured it out, man, they got like seven wives, dude. I mean, they figured out the tab program in marriage. But here's the thing guys, here's the thing. I'm gonna wrap this up a little bit earlier Woody, because I have so much to get through with the whole tab presentation. We're a little bit usually behind schedule than we usually are, but dude, I'm telling you, I'm telling you guys, we have a full team to help you. You know, Woody is here to help, man. Klaus here to help, dude. Contact the individuals in the appropriate channels. We got a Trading Accountability Buddy channel. And guys, we're here for you, man. Seriously, reach out to these guys. They're here to help, man. We're here to organize. And everything that you need at MIC, we won't promise seven wives to you, but we will teach how to train. Yeah, you're all on that one. But, you know, and I will say, we will keep working with you until you find a tab that works for you. That's exactly right. I mean, so, you know, everyone wants a Blue Moon, does work out, but we'll keep going it back for you. So. Dude, I love it. I love it. Woody, thank you so much for coming on, man. Let's definitely link up next week, brother. And, hey, man, make sure your tabs keep you on the right track. All right, thanks a lot. Take care, Tosh. Be safe. See you, brother. All right, guys, let me just mute Woody's microquake just so he can go back to his business. All right, there we go. Yeah, Faye's like, Faye are moderators like, so you want seven wives? Oh my hell no, I don't even want one wife, dude. Like, that's not necessarily the smartest financial decision if you talk to financial literates because, man, knowing me and my high maintenance ass, dude, I'ma tell you, whoever marries me the first time, I'll be her first husband, man. I feel bad for the chick. I'm too high maintenance for that shit, man. I like to do what I do when I do it. So here's the thing, guys. We are a family at MIC. We are a collective. We are an ecosystem. We are a community. We are so much, in fact, we don't even like the word service, man. That shit is just, look, services out there, man, are here to upsell you all day. They're here to promote their product. That's not what we're about, man. We're about the true process of learning and getting a support system to help you guys, man. What a lonely career this is, man, and it doesn't have to be. So this is why we created things like the TAV program or introduce ourselves. So let me just take a second, guys, to kind of introduce my team really quickly and why we're so proud to be in front of you today and just at least meet you virtually as best we can. So this is myself speaking, of course. As you know, Bow and Alex, we really don't need no introduction, but there they are, the two legends. And here it is. So we've got a full team. Like I said, whether you are a small cap trader, whether you are a big cap trader, whether you're an options trader for God's sakes, we have a man or a woman at the helm ready to teach you and or help you along the way and kind of handhold if you need it. So let me kind of group a couple of people together because I'm a little bit more short on time, but let me introduce all the small cap shortstellers that are really gonna be there for you if you wanna learn the short side outside of Bow and Alex. You have myself, you have Fay, you have Vic, you have James Freelander, you have Tom Diesel, you have Bear guys. We are all very much tailored to the small cap short side, but then you have big cap long traders like Joe Kelly and even swing traders like Tay or you have Austin who's literally tackling both sides of the trade guys of both niches. So not only is he doing small caps, he's doing big caps and he's doing the long and short side of both. That's kind of like what Joe does as well. If you want, if you're brand new and you're like, dude, how do I get started in this wonderful club? There's so much crazy content, like what's the best way to start? The first, I almost have to read this. What spirits needed to go with tab guys from? I was like, it goes well with any spirit. Oh man, I had to see that, but here's the thing guys, Joe Kelly, our main moderator, he's kind of like our head moderator. He created what I just showed you, the accelerator course, which I think will absolutely help you. Text for promos. He is also the creator of the trading basic series. So if you guys are brand new and you're like, man, Tosh, I don't know my ass from my face in trading. I don't know my hands from my feet. Dude, what is a long, what is a short? His trading basic series is gonna teach you that and he's gonna teach you it in such detail that you're gonna know about position sizing, risk, reward. You're gonna know how to not fight trend. You're gonna know everything that you need to know. If you don't know your ass from your face, you should not trade exactly. Next is the fundamental analysis series. So if you guys want to take it a step further, once you kind of watch the trading basic series and you're like, dude, I don't know why stocks do offerings or T12 halts or all this stuff. Then I'm telling you right now, Matt, who goes by Chicago traders, put on one of the best series, if not the best I've ever seen on this matter alone. And you guys are gonna understand jargon like S3 and effect and offering and ATMs and dilution and all that good stuff that a lot of people have very, very, very much made a boring subject and failed to teach. Matt did a really wonderful job. So definitely check that out once you understand price action. Oliver Tan is the curator and runner of our shop. So guys, if you go to the MIC website and you wanna get a hoodie or a mug, definitely reach out to him on order processing that. Just a fun way to be a part of the brand and rep MIC. So when it comes to long traders, like I said, Harry, Aloha trader who goes by Austin and Joe Kelly are really our long bias traders and they're gonna help him and of course, Bao. So we have moves that are not just tailored to the short side. We have the VWAP reclaim, we have the first bounce. These are wonderful setups. And seriously, like Bao just said, C-O-R-T today, can you see how many short sellers, short sell trades I did today? Look, none. Why? Because this is what we teach in the trading basic series guys. This yellow line is called VWAP. I've always butchered the full title, but it's like volume weighted average price and anything above is generally speaking in over under for strength and or weakness. So obviously the trend is intact. You can literally just draw an arrow from here to here. If you shorted this at any point today, you're kind of guessing tops. There's really no reason to. So traders like Bao, traders like Harry Haas, traders like Austin, we are teaching you that there is a way to do process on both sides. And there's a way to make money on the long side and simultaneously both the short side when quote unquote, the timing is right because timing is everything in trading. If you're a part of a service right now and they're getting in C-O-R-T and just holding short until they're right, that's not process. They're not teaching you shit, but how to eventually just blow up and lose your account. Make sense? So if you want to talk to a couple of our veterans basically any matter of them, MIC or price action, Edson and Tay are really well versed in the community and they kind of seen it all. So definitely learn from their experience. The last guy I want to introduce real quick is El Duderino. His name is Fernando. If you guys are having any trouble accessing content whether it's the accelerator course, maybe you just bought or maybe just any technical issue kind of like an error. Guys, he's your man to reach out to. He goes by El Duderino and chat. He's our coder. And he created the MIC Secretary. So check this out. We have an MIC starter pack for our new guys. We have a bullish and bearish checklist pre-market game plan. This algorithm that we programmed exclusively into the MIC chat room will give you dates. It'll give you content. It'll give you reminders. It'll tell you if a stock halts. It's a wonderful, wonderful resource that I think you guys really want to take advantage of. Next, we have a content structure that we're very proud of every single week at MIC and it's very, very on point guys. We almost never miss a day if one guy misses a day cause maybe bowels on a flight or Alex is out. We like to cover up and literally fill in for the next guy. So we're a full on team here and we make sure that you guys are getting updated content every single day of the week, man. Seriously, this is not DVDs that were created. Yeah, who put that pull up? Which stock is gonna drop during the webinar? Kodak, Genus, NNVCR, TSRI. That's hysterical. I haven't seen any of them up today, but I'll check some more when I'm done during the Q&A. So here's the thing guys, every single Monday, Alex at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and with a little bit of fluctuation, it might be 11 to 1115 before he starts is going to put on a YouTube live. He's gonna trade in the morning. He's gonna discuss those trades and he's gonna show you why he does what he does. And like I said guys, I can't harp on this enough if you're just listening in. This is a brand new day of content or a brand new week or a brand new month. We do not regurgitate bullshit stuff where the market that they used to teach in, you know, 10 year old DVDs from Furus, that market doesn't even exist anymore, man. OTCs are dead, shorting is different. Zombies just didn't fucking happen 10 years ago, man. Now they do all the time. So we're gonna teach you guys have not only stay safe but you're gonna benefit from it. I remember dude, seven years ago, you could practically hit the short button and almost close your eyes and just cross your fingers. Nowadays, dude, you have to cut off at certain points. You have to talk about the zombie hour. You have to know when the reversal hour is. You have to impregnate yourself into the mind of the opposing side as a trader. If you are long, you need to know how shorts think and what they're thinking at the current price level vice versa for short or long. It doesn't matter, but you gotta know. You gotta know and be prepared for any eventuality. This is why we teach hard stops and most importantly at the end of the day, we teach process and process is the only way to ever be a profitable trader. Bow, don't mind what I said, man, impregnate nobody. No traders better be, yeah, stay safe out there guys. Put a hard stop in with your girlfriends, with your boyfriends and also in the price action. So here's the thing, on Tuesdays, Bow gets on an IG live instead of a YouTube live and what he does is he is really, really big on psychology. He is gonna take 20 years of experience and he's gonna get face-to-face. He may bring on a member or perspective, member looking in, maybe even a troll. He's done it before and literally converted them live to show you how real we are, to show you our teachings, to show you our psychology and why it works. And again, at the end of the day, man, don't judge a community by the mentors or even the team, judge it by the success and the testimonials of its member basis. So if you guys have any questions about the legitimacy of MIC or our people learning, do they get what they pay for? Like, do we meet the requirements of a wonderful community? Dude, just take 10 seconds and read the MIC testimonials that we get probably 10 a day, literally, no joke. We post them, these are not actors. God, dude, do you realize that if all these people were actors, we'd be broke? Dude, all those other services paying for testimonials, we have so many testimonials, dude, we'd be freaking broke paying all these actors. They're not actors, man, they're normal members and we're making a difference in their trading and we wanna do that for you. So just take a second and look. Oh, check this out, Cobra Trading, open an account with Cobra and we'll get you a free month of DOS or Cobra Trader Pro and a free Cobra Act. Dude, that is very generous. You know what, dude, Chad, let's, hold on, man. Let's show everyone, that's huge, man. Channel, it's one of these. Hopefully that alerts everybody. I haven't done that giving a webinar, but everybody needs to see that, man, that's huge. That's very generous of Cobra Trading right there. So guys, every single Wednesday, I obviously do this webinar. It's at 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. This is my new member webinar and kind of like a fun talk show that me and Joe kind of shoot the shit and talk about current market conditions and bow trades live and kick ass each week. And while I have opportunity, cost of missing trading during reversal hour, he's making it up for me and then hopefully Ben mows me later if I beg him enough. Every single Thursday, Austin, who goes by a low hot trader, is going to do a, he's gonna do his version of what me, Bow and Alex do on Thursday and he's gonna tackle that in his own trading, whether it's big caps, small caps and he's gonna teach you guys at 7 p.m. Eastern on Thursdays. Friday is a total free for all. It's kind of like a Hail Mary. It can be anything. Alex might do another YouTube live. Bow might do another IG live. It might be a day of rest if there's nothing to teach you guys. You know, we're a little bit slower of a market right now in small caps guys, which is not, it's not a problem. You just gotta learn a little bit of patience. This is what separates the men from the boys. It's just, it's a part of the game. You know, some months are a little bit slower. You should be using this time to study. You should not be watching tick for tick on level two all day on stocks where you're forced to trade. You should be networking with traders. You should be learning the ropes. You should be studying. And we've put all this together so that you can do that. And there's no better time to do that than a little bit slower of a market, which we have this week. So every single Saturday, I want you to come here. This is the weekend mentoring channel. What this is, is a full hour on the weekend. Yes, every Saturday from 1 p.m. Eastern to 2. And we are gonna answer all your questions in a text format. So you guys can ask us anything, myself, the moderators, we're gonna get in here, man. We're gonna answer all your questions. We'll jump through hoops, dude. We'll do what we gotta do to make sure that you guys learn the proper process. Next, on Sunday, like I said, Joe Kelly does his weekly video series. Now, the only reason why I wanted to introduce this last is because it's kind of a double up. So remember I said Tuesdays, Bow does his IG live? Well, simultaneously, it's 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time that night, depending if you're on, you know, the East Coast or the West Coast, Joe Kelly is going to do his Big Cap webinar. So on Tuesdays, it's kind of like a double whammy. And then any day of the week, Bow might do a live daily recap, in which case he's really gonna, you know, screen share, show you guys some great lessons, maybe do some live trading, whatever he thinks is a really good lesson for you. He's gonna teach you. Let's just take a real quick second at Go-Go. Hold on one sec. Where is, here we go. I haven't been watching this, Bow. Oh, shit, nice. Yep, there you go, man. Look, pop right back to resistance. Dude, you can go where the tops are. Seriously, I just drew it in the middle of all this consolidation of the tops and look at Bow, live trade, man. That's a scout. That's a nail and bail, man. That's process. That's what we teach. So when it comes to the video library, I'm gonna show you guys a couple of things, but really quick, he's keeping the traditional live of trading live during these webinars every single Wednesday. Dude, Bow's in here literally teaching you guys live. So we have exclusive proprietary trading strategies at MIC. We have the first bounce for longs on day one. We have the first resistance for shorts on day one. We have the death line short, which is probably one of our biggest account builders for new shorts on day one. Usually first red day, kind of like what we're experiencing in the big cap market today is why like Tesla and things got slaughtered today or at least the last time I checked. The first red day is a very powerful setup and it, you know, I can break down all the psychology with Joe in a little bit, but guys, I'm telling you right now, if you want a really good strategy that is not only both small caps and big caps, we have that for you and that's the first red day. Low hanging fruit is exactly what it entails. It is a stock, whether, you know, usually a small cap, it is really beaten down day one, offers what's called kind of like a relief pop of bag holders into previous tops, kind of like what Bow did here, but on day two, where the previous tops and resistance are, and we can grab a very expected move out of it, which is a nice account builder. So if you can't get shares on day one, definitely look for the LHF low hanging fruit on day two. All right, let's see. I'll take a second on the MIC archive. Let me actually go to the website guys real quick and show you a bit of our pricing and I'll show you why. So the first thing I want to show you and trust me, this is not to sell you at all. This is literally just to show you what's offered. I don't want to harp on this too much and come off as one of those used car salesmen, but check this out guys. We have three options at MIC and I want to show you what's included in each package just because I get a lot of questions on this daily. I, apparently people don't even know we have a website. I'm like, dude, you gotta check out our website. So we have everything within the monthly annual and lifetime options with the descriptions right here, with the check marks and you guys can see what lines up with each one of them. So if you guys wanted the monthly package, it's 197, I'll actually go back to here. It's 197 a month. The annual is 1890 at full price, which we have some promotions right now. So you can text me. We do not have promotions off a single month of MIC. We have promotions on annual and lifetime. Lifetime is 7,000. What is included in each, right? So the reason why I wanted to bring this up before the MIC archive and to just make it very clear real quick is the annual membership and a lifetime membership guys have probably, I'm kind of spitballing this, but I would say about three times the content of a monthly package. And you're gonna get about five times the structure. Why are you gonna get all that because of the features that are included? You are just gonna get so much more with the annual lifetime. You're not only gonna get the MIC archive, you're gonna get exclusive webinar series or live trading boot camp footage or live trading footage from our moderators. If you became a lifetime member today at our discount rate, text me. I'm gonna get you set up with Joe Kelly, our head moderator, the creator of our accelerator course who literally spent six months creating this. And guess what he's, and maybe we'll put trader tax CPO in there as well. What he's gonna do is he's gonna do an hour screen share with you guys. If you know nothing about trading, dude, Joe's gonna get on there and literally give you a one hour coaching session because you're a new lifetime member. We are never gonna sell you something, whether it's package, of course, or anything without making sure you are taken care of, you're handheld, you have all your questions answered, you got what you needed, and then you're gonna have repetitive mentoring after that. So we do live trading calls. If you guys need a trader call during the day, let me skip down a little bit. We have what's exclusive to MIC, we have literally daily phone calls and we call these trader calls and all the moderators participate in these and you have access to this. So we definitely want you to take advantage of MIC and the mentorship behind it. I mean, there's a reason, guys, why we built a team of 15 plus moderators and three mentors. This is not a service where you sign up, you get fed a 10 year old DVD and then you're gone, dude. We are coaching you guys all day and here's the thing. If I'm not a master at the VWAP Reclaim Strategy, because that's not what I practice all day, Austin is. And if Austin wants to give you a different perspective on the first bounce, you got Harry. It's like we've created a full team to cater to every need that you guys have and we want you to know that. So we just make that very clear. And let's see. I wanna show you guys really quick the archive and then I'll talk about Chad for a second, even though he kind of already answered everything, but I will just recap for you. So let's go to the MIC archive right here. It's gonna, oh shoot. You know what? If it makes me sign in again, I might not be able to because it's two way authenticator. Let's see, hold on. Service is so bad here where I'm staying at that the, I can't. Oh, perfect. All right, cool. I didn't need a code to enter like a bank, but if you guys don't know, I have put a two way authenticator on my account like many of us have. So if you guys just wanna protect your account further, just like a bank or anything, so nobody gets your login information, your Slack or the MIC archive, literally just put a two way authenticator on, but it will have to have internet connection to get texted to your phone when you log in. So sometimes depending on my internet, I'm like, oh shit. So check this out, guys. This is what's called the MIC archive. The reason why I wanted to bring this up real quick is this is a free included feature and one of our best features at MIC, but only in the annual lifetime membership that you are gonna have to upgrade or directly sign up to these packages to get it. And for anybody who's sending me a DM right now, don't worry, I will get to you as soon as this webinar ends. So if you were to look left and see our Slack channel and you were to see these custom technical emojis, they line up with what's called a community voted folder and in my personal digital notebook. But first, the thing that I want you to introduce with this is this is a full backup of chat. So if I were to go to the main trading chat today, right, guys, this is kind of what it looks like. We give commentary, we give scans, we give thought process, we give everything that you're gonna need it. We give reminders, we give you guys advice, warnings, not to get in a stock because it's the wrong side. Bow is gonna show you examples. You are gonna be able to now go to a random date for the last two years, we'll go to a random date. Let's say, God, let's say January the 21st of 2020. If you click on main trading chat, check out. We are now in that day. You can scroll down as needed, you can look at examples, you can look at everything that was talked about that day and you can now, now if I go back to home, I wanna show you guys how to take it a step further. So if we were to go in chart recaps and fills, this is a channel in our Slack platform that we ask that all the members, unless you're a moderator or a mentor, please post your charts in here. So if I were to read Danny's charts today and I was like, dude, these are awesome. Let's put these under technical analysis, right? This is a community voted folder guys linked to these specific emojis linked to whatever you attach them into chat of our Slack platform that are gonna get saved for the community. Meaning everybody who has an MIC archive because your annual lifetime is gonna have access to and see what was saved. All you have to do is put that emoji. So if I were to click reaction and I were to scroll all the way down and let's say technical analysis, well, technical analysis right on the charts. This is a wonderful, you know, wonderful group of charts. I wanna save this. If you go to the community voted folder which we're in right now, now you have endless chart examples of first red days, stuff moves, you know, triple tops, double tops, your volume increase, literally everything that you're gonna need. This is gonna cut your learning curve down by an exponential amount. Now, if I wanted to save this in my personal digital notebook, this is nobody else's, this is mine. T Bradley 90s, obviously, I am literally going to do the handwriting emoji and this is instantly gonna save it now in my personal notebook and nobody else's. Obviously I took these off just for the sake of the example. I don't really have time to look at these charts but you see you guys get the idea. So now let's actually go back to the presentation and bear with me guys because I know there's a lot to talk about. Now, oops, hold on one second. So Chad just got done talking about why Cobra trading is so amazing. Just to give a quick recap guys, I think they've got some of the best customer service in the game. These are for all our US based guys. Canada unfortunately has a couple of restrictions. They also do enter a little bit international. They also have Venom trading which is their sister company, sister brokerage which is much a lower amount startup. So if you need 27,000 at minimum to actually open up a Cobra account when it comes to Venom, you're gonna need, I think Chad said around the five mark, here are the links and if you are a member of MIT 25% off commission structure just by proving that you are. Victor, hold on. When it comes to TZ, we also have a partnership with them guys and right now, special perks for MIC members are 5% off locate fees, platform fee is free for the first three months exclusive then after the third month, 20% off, you can DM and I'll show you who to DM. You can just go at Tauneel. This is the person to contact for trade zero information and or opening account or getting your questions answered and you can put that in the broker talk. So they are for international. We have our US based and we have our international guys. So definitely take advantage of everything that you need. Now, when it comes to, I'm gonna wrap that up guys and we're gonna talk about the Slack platform while I have some time before I bring on Mr. Joe Kelly. All right, so I showed you guys the main trading chat, what that looks like. I showed you guys the chart recaps and fills where to post your charts if you wanna get some feedback if you wanna show them outside of a direct message that's what we're gonna do but check this out. We have a large cap and options room. Dude, large caps were fricking hot today. Seriously, I have it somewhere but like if you guys take a look dude me and Alex were actually more in the large cap room today than we were in the small cap room dude. I was shorting Tesla this morning. I was shorting Apple. Dude, these things were offering literally wonderful. Just QQQ was going down today, man. So we have a room for this guys. Obviously we cut off by a certain time because what did I say earlier? Things zombie like a mad dog in this market. So don't fight the Fed, man. Don't fight the goddamn Fed. So we were shorting these pops towards VWAP and these pushes kind of thing and that was a lot of fun. I made some money with Apple today. All right, yep. AALP and boom. I was shorting right here at VWAP like we had planned and it was funny man. It was kind of like back and forth with like where guys were in the dips where we shorting the pops. It was a lot of fun, man. Market newsfeed. We have up-to-date newsfeed information in here. After hours, this is... Oh, let me actually welcome some new members. We do this. This is not an automated thing guys. I go in here every single new member and I welcome them to the club. This is how we get hands-on. This is a way for us to make it a very personalized experience. You are not just a number at MIC. If you join, you are part of our family and we go out of our way to make sure that you know that you are. So, you know, there's memories, dude. This is when we were speaking in Philly. This was so much fun, man. I think my eyes were so blistered by that goddamn Philly sun, dude. It was a thousand degrees that I didn't take my glass off the whole day, dude. I was like, I'm blind as a bat in freaking Philly, man, the humidity, bro. I don't know how Chad and all of them do it, dude. Over there in Texas, man. I'm telling you, bro, it's crazy. That East Coast stuff and all those areas, man. It's too humid for me, but I'm a Californian. So what are you gonna do? I complain all day. Oren, wherever you are, bro, that is amazing. Holy shit. Is it humid there? So this is just fun, guys. You can network, you can have fun. This is a text chat that me, Bal and Alex, are in. Bal posted today. Alex was saying, man, just by puts on Tesla that day. Or I'm sorry, Bal was saying that. And Alex was like, dude, any other day, you lose like 10,000% hindsight. We're only saying this because small cats are slow in this. Like the joke is like, trading is easy, man. Of course. Look, trading is simple, but it ain't easy. You know, Joe's showing his family. I love it, man. This is a really interactive community. Alex makes $21,000 today, dude. Trading the big caps. He was on Apple, Amazon, Docu. A couple small caps like MDIA, that low flow, low flow TSRI. Trading things like Tesla. It was a lot of fun, man. We just have fun every single day. Networking, keeping tabs on each other, making sure we're getting to our desired goals. Watching Tom Diesel, you know, break his discipline of his diet all day. I'm telling you, Tom, dude, I'm watching, man. I'm watching. But it's just, it's fun, man. So let's see. Turkey comes filled, trading accountability, buddy. I showed you guys watch list. Check this. Every single day in chat, Alex is the first one to wake up, man. He is literally putting together a watch list for you guys that you need to pay attention to. It is usually spot on. We speak in a language that is both for shorts and longs. He said, Tesla not really interested in this today, but if we go red, looking to scalp it for a quick wash out and Alex did just that and made quite a bit of money. I don't know about all you, but I don't care who you are in the world unless you're a billionaire, $21,000 is no joke and that is some serious coin. So great job, Alex, and just sticking to process. So let's see. Daily report cards, guys, this is a great resource. If you want to download the report cards, share your data, keep track yourself. I know David's really big on this. Let's see, swing trading. You can reach out to Tay and some swing traders in here. I know Faye does a little bit of swing trading now. Reach out to them for help, pick their brains, see what they're doing, stuff like that. And then let's see taxes. So check this out. I know Brian's in here. So if I don't plug my man, then well, then I failed him. So Brian is a dear friend of myself and all of us of the MIC crew, guys. He is a moderator. He is our tax guy. If you guys need help on taxes, let me tell you something. There's probably no one I've ever met at least more knowledgeable than Brian. He is a trader himself. He's a successful trader himself. He's in the large cap and options room quite frequently. He is here to not only get your tax questions answered, but he's got packages that is gonna save you a lot of money. And I know what some of you are thinking like, oh man, so I have to buy a package to talk to a professional tax guy. Yeah, dude, how the hell else do you think you're gonna save money, man? Again, a $500 investment in Brian who knows everything about how to save you money in taxes and get around things like the wash sale rule or make sure that you're protected as a high-frequency trader, whatever you are, just some kid scalping all day in his parents' basement. It doesn't matter. Brian is gonna save you a fortune on taxes, man, compared to a normal accountant, dude. Most people don't know this game. They don't know this shit. A normal accountant will look you dead in the eye and say that he knows and he doesn't know shit, dude. So definitely talk to Brian, watch this introductory video, reach out to him. It is a wonderful investment, man. And he's a good dude. I like Brian a lot. Tech support. If you guys have any tech support questions, contact, like I showed you before, L-Ditorino, and he will help you get you started if you just purchased the accelerator course or something and for some bug, couldn't access it. L-Ditorino will clear that up in a frickin' second. Trading stations definitely show off your trading stations. Wow, that's cool. Spy trader, very nice, man. I love that. That looks really cool. Dude, great stuff, man. Great stuff. Show us your stuff, man. Show us your stuff. VIP meetups, when we do something we'll put in here. I showed you guys weekend mentoring. This is how to access PMs, one-on-one conversations, or you can get a couple of people and do a group PM with your tab partners. If you were to scroll up up here, see my name right here, if I were to click edit profile, remove or upload an image, put in your data, boom. We also, let me go to the main trading chat. We have a search feature, guys, to check this out. Let me put this down. If I wanted to see, you know, Bao's commentary on GoGo today, right? Like GoGo was talked about today, type in GoGo the ticker, and now timestamped in order, you're gonna see everybody's commentary, because mostly Bao was talking about this on the ticker symbol, G-O-G-O. Now, if you wanted to see, like I said, what a specific trader is talking about, only type in from, colon and boom. We'll use Alex as an example. Alex comes up, timestamped in order. Here was his $21,000 day, he's posted. There's the links, what he was saying about Docky, what he was saying about Tesla in, and it says in every channel where it was, large caps, main trading chat, everything that you're gonna, after hours, for God's sake, everything that you're gonna need to know, Slack is very customizable. It is very hands-on, and it's very specific towards like grouping things together and just staying very coherent. So, dude, oh yes, trader tax CPA, that's Brian guys, definitely send him a PM, bombard him. If you don't have the right tax guy right now, I want you to bombard this individual today and say, dude, how can you help me? I want you to, I want you to land rush him, dude, I'm telling you. As a thank you for listening to my pitch, anyone that sends your email to cobra at mg at cobertrading.com in the next 30 minutes, I will send out one of our Cobra trading t-shirts, very nice. We only have about 50 left, so like locates, their first come, first serve, let us know your t-shirt size, dude. This is one of our members guys, I think her tag is escaped LA, she did the same thing. Chad hooked her up, dude, guys, I'm telling you, man, we are here to take care of you, and most importantly, our brokers are, so wonderful. Thank you, Chad, again for being so generous. Without further ado, guys, I'm gonna bring on the Joe Kelly Meister. I know- Hi. Oh, he brought on himself, oh my God. What's up, dude? What up, bro? All right, let me start recording, man, so people can see this nastiness later. Talk about all this junk in the market, talking about big caps and all that good stuff. Yeah, let's talk about your transition. My transition today. Coming back to your roots, huh? Dude, I'm coming back to the roots, man. Oh, very nice. Back to the roots, baby. Oh, shit, but then I see what Val's doing, and he's giving me goddamn FOMO, dude. Look, again, guys, when the first line doesn't necessarily, say it breaks, you go to the second line, this is process. If the lines are close together, you scale the line. So if this was a line at pretty much 950, Val is going up to what's called a previous top. Look what he just did there. Look how we scaled that, a perfect short into previous resistance. So again, this is process every single day, guys. Val, watch out for that timeframe, man. We're getting a little close to sure it's not having the edge anymore, but dude, solid stuff, man. Bro, you want to talk about FOMO? Just go look at the QQQ. Dude, I- Just look at that long, baby. Bro, I can't hold on. Look at that long. All you gotta do is just buy it and then just walk away. Bro, I literally was shorting this morning. So actually I'll go to the large caps. I posted one. I was so pissed, dude. Check if this was any other day, I would have held this shit, but look. Me and Alex for nailing Apple and Tesla and EWOP. Dude, look at my pike job. Where is it? I know I put it in here somewhere. Yeah, it's up there. Friggin' Brian was like, dude, it's going to the moon. I said, nah, dude, I'm gonna get a nail and bail out this shit. And I was hitting like right here, guys. Cause like I just like on webinar day, man, I like to nail and bail. Big caps are not my niche like Joe anymore. I used to years ago. So I was like, dude, I was happy with that, but everybody was like, oh shit, dude, there's so much more downside. Bal was the only guy that stayed trading large caps or small caps today. Yeah, but I think if you asked Bal, he's over-agredited. He was like, shit, I should have focused on the big caps, dude. Bal texted Alex and I later and be like, damn, dude, I should have big caps. Me and Brian been trying to tell him for, I mean, Brian longer than me, we've been trying to tell him that pivot lines work better in that market than in small caps, but he just won't convert. Isn't that crazy, man? He's just there. He'd smoke us all. He'd run circles around the rest of us. Here's the thing though, Bal can say it himself, but I almost can answer for him in small caps, dude. Bal could literally be on autopilot and make money because he's got his process so down to a formula and a reactionary science, but I think he'd have to focus a little in big caps. Dude, but in small caps, Bal could do this with his eyes closed, man, literally. Bro, honestly, I mean, after trading small caps and large caps, I focus less in large caps because as long as I stay long, I'm okay. If I'm short, I'm just glued to the screen, but if I'm long, I'm like, yeah, I'm a walk away. Because I'm Asian, half-mise, half-mise, half-mise. Always close. So here's the thing, I have to harp on it. Yeah, Brian's like, shit, I can't buy the company. That's Bal's thoughts. Bal's like, hold my beer. Dude, here's the thing, man. I just have to make as clear as I can to the general public right now is listening. Dude, we have a large cap room with professionals, with so many mods and traders that you can network with. The MIC is unfortunately tainted in people's eyes is like a small cap room where all we do is short. Dude, it's not, we literally trade everything but cryptocurrency, everything. Well, I mean, all you and Alex were doing this morning was shorting everything that we were longing. So let's talk about that. Hey, but we were still in the big cap room. We were still in the big cap room. Yeah, I know. But dude, the difference in large caps versus small caps, man, is in large caps, man, there's meat for everyone. In small caps, if you're not quick about it, like you can get roasted on either side. Large caps, man, just long it and just wait for it to work out. You don't really even have to be that particular about it. You know what I'm, here's the thing, and like the buckle just asked, can you talk about the difference between large and small caps, guys? Here's the thing that I've come to realize because I actually started in big caps, guys, for years and then I literally transitioned over but the thing that I love about big caps is everybody thinks that like, oh my God, I gotta have a $300,000 account today to even play. No, dude, it's not true. With good risk management, with a margin account, you don't need a crazy number because small size on the, dude, small size on these moves, look at this. I was shorting, dude, at Tesla Day. I forgot to save my chart because I had posted the Apple one. Dude, I shorted it BWAP and basically did the same. Like I covered literally do like right here for nothing, right? But look at this move. But it's a smart thing to do because, I mean, you were shorting it like, pretty much right at zombie times and so it had all the odds to push. On a usual day, right? But, Joe, look at, dude, look, bro, I was probably one-tenth the size I put on small caps but had I held that, I would have made more than what I do in small caps because, dude, there's $50 of downside on the right move. Like, this is the thing I love about big caps, man. You can size down and ride the trend like for a really long time, a lot of the time. And small caps, it's not so much, this as much as it is strong and big caps in my opinion. But what do you think? You know, this is not everyday type of action. Not in this market for sure. And this is what happened last time. You know, every time Alex or someone from main chat starts to come over from into large caps, everybody goes, oh, my God, this is every day. No. Definitely not. No. This is not everyday. This is once in, you know, every four or five months, maybe twice a year. I mean, it's really not that, it's really, it's just- That apple looks like death of all that. Yeah, it hardly looks like, that looks like a small cap. Right? Yeah, funny. This is how small caps look like just for a whole day. Most days, most days, we just dip at the open and then bounce. Dude, this is, okay. Look at Bowden, a missing large cap. Yeah, he's looking at all the moves going. Alex is like, dude, I made 21,000. What were you training? He was like, small caps are dead. Fuck, I should have trained him. Oh man, here's the thing, man. The funny thing about training, dude, is like, Bowden's been training for 20 years, dude. I've been training for seven. It's like, dude, we still experience FOMO. It's like, dude, just because you've been training for a long time does not make you a robot. It's not that you're not human anymore. You just know how to combat these things better. But I'm gonna tell you right now, man, we're still human beings at the end of the day and we're gonna have frustration. We're gonna cry and we're gonna puke and we're gonna complain of the shit we miss. But when you have a proper process, you know that you're just gonna have opportunity tomorrow. So it's like, dude, right? It's like at the end of the day, man, if you have something that's repeatable that you can count on, which we teach at MIC, it doesn't matter how much you miss today. It really doesn't, inbound knows that. I know that. Yeah, it's just, do what you do. Do what you do. Dude, you do what you do, man. If a girl turns you down at a bar, man, it's a numbers game, there'll be another one tomorrow. Right? Dude, literally, what do you miss Tesla and CT Bradley, 90 pike of $50 move? Bro, I probably made three points on my position and I could have made like 30 plus. That's sick. That's sick in the head, dude, what the fuck? Well, it doesn't, you know what? And this is something I think a lot of people can learn from it is like, you know, Tosh is over here taking small gains, but when you look at the large cap room, all of us are like, nope, buy the dip, buy the dip. Like there was like 40 of us buying the dip and Alex and Tosh are the only two people shorting pops. Bro, literally, dude, I'm not even kidding you. We can't, here, I'll even show you guys some of the commentary today, man. Literally, dude, Alex came in and we're not usually, me and Alex are usually more in the small cap room today, dude, Alex came in and was like, bro, where does he sit? I know he says it somewhere. It's like verbatim. He goes, bro, today's the day. And I was like, dude, I came in and I was like, today is the fucking day, man. Let's show these big caps that they're wrong because all you guys were trying to long this shit. And I said, it's time to fade some bigs. It's 658 Pacific standards. Yeah. Or I'm sorry, 658. So that's like just in the open because that's actually 958 market time. But look at Alex's pike on Apple, dude. We come in and we're still trading like small caps. Yeah, yeah, Alex was like, soon as Joe said he's going long, I wanted to short everything. Joe's like, I'm long bounces. He's like, y'all can have the short, I'm long and dips. Everybody's like, I'm dipping in me and me and Alex are like, nah, dude. They're like, short it, short it. Oh my God. Dude, I'm not trading Apple and that shit. I'm not long and dips on the stuff that just screamed higher. I traded ZM. And the reason why I traded ZM is because of the statistical odds of ZM happening the way it did today. It's not like, this is not the Tesla. This is not the Apple setup. It's a different setup. This setup was yesterday, Zoom had earnings. And so today the odds are that when it tanks, we're going to hit these key levels that me and Brian have talked about in the large cap room for God knows how long. And dude, that's what me and Brian did. We just longed it right off of that level that we talk about it. And me and him both are like, we're long. It wasn't, it wasn't. And I'm staying long. I'm not selling. Bro, large cap room today was so much fun. It was literally me and Alex versus the main guys in here. Brian and Joe looked at Brian. All bears can exit stage left. What a thing. And the best part is, the best part is he said it right here when this shit was literally bottoming out. And he was like, aren't you bears? Exit stage left. And I was like, the day ain't over, son. And I said, you might just step in a bear trap and then look at all this stuff. Yeah. Just tanks, man. And then we piked the shit out of it, dude. I was laughing my ass off this morning, man. Oh my God, how much fun. And that's the thing is about, in small caps, there's like one or two stocks that like, that's what you can play that day, right? That's what you can play. That's all your choices are. Joe, in the long run, bro, you guys were right, man. Me and Alex just wanted to scalp. You guys were so right. Dude, it's like, I mean, I've just been doing the, I don't, yeah, like Alex said, I just, I'm doing, I'm tired. I'm not fighting the Fed anymore. I fought the Fed and the Fed won. What was that? I found the law and the law won. Well, I fought the Fed and the Fed won months ago. And so I was like, nah, fam, I'm long and everything. And that's what I've been doing. The last thing I shorted was Tesla yesterday and I covered it. Like I showed the trade in the webinar last night and I shorted it like 4.95 and covered it 4.80 and made like 15 points. And I was like, and I'm gone. And I was like, I was just made 15 points, whatever. Last time I was like, yeah, I was bearish for, I was bearish on Tesla for 90 seconds. And dude, small gaps are so slow this week. Dude, we're like, oh, we're lucky if we can get like 20 and 30 cents this last week in Joe's. Yeah, man, I used to when I wanted to long something, because the problem is that I was so short biased, dude. I would used to be so short biased that when I finally wanted to long something, it was time to short. Like it was a guaranteed time to short. And dude, Brian's been smashing my brains in with like, dude, no, you got to long here. You got to be long these. You got to be like, you got to be doing that. And you got to be, and I was like, all right, fine, Brian, I'm listening. I'm done shorting. Okay, fine. And dude, it's a different ballgame, man. It's a different ballgame. So when are you going to do what Alex just said? When are you going to get a tattoo on your forearm that says just buy the fucking dip, dude? BTFD. BTFD, baby. Dude, I think one day we're just going to show up to like another Philly event, and you're going to have like a tramp stamp and buy the BTFD. The BTFD. I'm just going to get a big chess tattoo like Conor McGregor, big lion. Oh, shit. And in the lion or I'm going to get, I'm going to get like a bull, you know, on my chest, big bull on my chest in between the horns. It's just going to say BTFD. Wait a second, wait a second, Conor. That's a lion? I thought that was like a gorilla. Or is it a dragon? Dude, chest tattoo. Dude, no, here it is. Is it a Chinese thing? Does anybody know what that is? It looks like a panther, maybe. A tiger? Tiger, I thought. Maybe something like that. Is anybody like, There you go. Do I hear piranha? Like, what is that? I mean, dude, the guy's a badass. I love that guy. Yeah, it's a Liger. What the hell is this? Ask Ed Hardy. Oh my God. Man, I'm going to tell you, dude, I hate to eat his own, man. If you want to buy the dip, if you want to put up. Yeah, but that's what I'm getting at here is you and Alex are over here shorting Apple and Tesla. And there's 30 other tickers to play that are not doing what Apple and Tesla are doing. You know what I mean? It's like, there's just so much opportunity to trade in large caps. That's the difference. So that guy that asked the question, what's the difference between large caps and small caps? Everyone has something to do in large caps. Like, there's a million ways to trade in large caps. There's only a few ways to trade in small caps, in my opinion. There are very few ways that truly work in small caps. And if you don't do certain things, you get roasted. Large caps, man. It's like, you can be anyone you want to be. It's less forgiving, right? Like it's less brutal. It's like, dude, if you're trying to short and you're brand new guys, like you're brand new and you don't know what a two million float can do when pumpers get involved and the right, you know, like literally tailwind behind the sails of that stock can go. Dude, if you don't have a hard stop and if you don't know how to do that, you're done, man. You're dead. One trade and you're like, you blink and you're like, oh my God, down three points. You know what I mean? Yep. So, yeah, I like the fact that big caps, because look, not all days are gonna offer a hundred points of volatility, right? And Tesla's a very volatile stock to begin with. So if you trade, like even Apple today on this huge move since the split, dude, this is still only like, what, 10 bucks? So it's a lot more forgiving with the right risk management and stuff. Oh, dude, I beat all you motherfuckers. It is a gorilla. Oh, is that a gorilla? I knew it, dude. I'm wearing a crown. That is the weirdest looking gorilla I've ever seen in my life. That's what I was thinking, but I was like, dude, that's gotta be a gorilla. Cause like, look at the ears. It's like human ears, right? You can see like- Okay, I see that. Yeah, I see that. All right, well, I'm not trying to zoom in on his nipples, but I'm trying to show that there's like an ear drum on the gorilla. It's a bearded gorilla, though. It's like, it's weird. He's got like that millennial hippie goatee going on, right? Like, you know- Yeah, he's got that Confucius. He's got that Confucius chin hair. Yeah, Confucius chin hair. So I'm sure you guys understand that this is the talk show part of the webinar. Yeah, the difference that I would compare small caps to large caps. Small caps, again, is there's less versatility I guess would be the word. There's less vehicles to trade, like in less ways to be able to trade them. Like that's, a lot of people like small caps. I'm, I don't have a problem with small caps. I'm still all about small caps. That's fine. I'm just not really trading them anymore. Well, that's like- You know the outcome, right? We know the outcome. There's only really two things that they can do, right? They either scream higher and rip shorts a new asshole, or they just die. But timing guys. So it's like- Yeah, it's timing. This talk is probably a piece of doo-doo. In fact, I haven't really done any research on this because I didn't have time to. I mean, there's much better examples, but most of these go back to where they started from, but timing is everything. So in big caps, it's just very different, man. It's very different. So you don't necessarily, at least in my opinion, Joe, from what I've understood from what I used to do, is a lot of small cap traders unfortunately trade their bias first. If they're not educated, if they're not part of the MPC, and we like just freaking stand- Do what they're comfortable with. Yeah, that it's processed. You need to trade the chart, not your bias, but they do trade their bias a lot of the times, the uneducated, but with big caps, I think a lot of traders trade the chart. I mean, I hope so. I mean, of course, there's variations of both, but. So let's put Apple into perspective here. So go to a daily chart. All right. When did the split happen? Okay. The split happened on Monday, three days ago. So just zoom in. Hold on a minute. I'm trying to get rid of VWAP. It just looks so stupid. I guess the only thing I hate about TOS charts is like that. There we go. We need that Trump meme thick. So thick. It's just a thick line. You like it so thin or thick. So, I mean, look at this in comparison, right? Yeah, Apple split to Tesla split. You know, everything's planning to split. Everything's splitting these days. Look at this and put it into perspective, okay? People are bearish on the split news, right? The split news was like, no, it was, I think it was during this here, I believe. Oh, gosh, during that time. Oh, you mean the news of it? Not the actual news? Or did they announce in earnings that they were doing a split and Tesla was the one that followed? Okay, so it was right here that the announcement was the split was happening and then Tesla followed along and was like, yeah, we're splitting too. And so the point here is this. When the split occurred, right? Everybody thought once the split occurred, that's it, that's a wrap, right? That's a wrap. So here, okay, is the day, here's Monday, right? We still have not even given back the range that it's made in two days. It's funny when I was shorting it, dude. It's like here, let me actually- It's still not bearish, look at this. It's still not bearish, look at that trend. That's, dude, that was the exact thing I was thinking as I was shorting it. I just wanna show you guys one second. When it comes to now, think of BWAP is like right here. When it comes to big caps, dude, you have to give a lot of room for bounces, man. Like these things really bounce. And I was like, dude, if this doesn't bounce at least, cause like Chasers wanna hit at one, they just see weakness like this. They just wanna keep hitting. I was willing to put a starter here and scale up to like 137 because dude, this is still like not underwater at all. Even from the start of the split, man. Like this is not in trouble even on a day like today. It's just profit-taking or it's a cascading effect based on the QQQ with things like that, right? So psychology plays such a role in this, man. I mean, you really have to think about it. Yeah, it's a dangerous business trying to pick the top on Apple and Tesla. And it's a dangerous business trying to pick the top on the market. So a question earlier was, sorry, let me get back to it. So we've got bowel with all these live trades here. Longing small caps, or I'm sorry, longing large caps still at this time with spy hitting highs in this current economy. Does that make sense or no? Feds printing the cash money, crashes coming, do we talk longer term, shorter term hour two or nail and bail? Well, the thing is in large caps, go ahead and try to pick a top. And I bet you in 90 days, you're not gonna have an account. 1,000%. Follow the trend until the trend's broken. Who gives a rat's ass whether the Fed keeps buying or not? Follow the chart. Does the chart say we're going higher? Yeah, it does. And it has every freaking day since March 27th. Dude, let me put it very simply. If you guys are interested in big caps and you keep trying to pick the top, you're better throwing all your money into AT&T and just collecting dividends annually for the rest of your life. Bro, yes. Not trying to pick the top speaking of which. Dude, for every 200,000 you have invested in AT&T right now because they're eliminating most of their, they're eliminating right now most of their companies that are extremely volatile because they want to control the volatility to lure in more dividend investors. Bro, $200,000 invested in AT&T right now will pay you annually about $14,000 no matter what the stock price does. As long as they don't bring that yield down. I'm like, shit, dude, I'm like $14,000. Damn, that's not bad. $14,000 G's laying on a beach with 200 G's invested in AT&T. That's like a rental house. That's a rental house with a $1,200 a month rent. I'm like, damn, dude, unless AT&T, yeah, unless they fucking tank and then you lose 100. So again, don't pick tops and don't just. It's only a loss if you realize the loss. Is AT&T going to fail? Probably not. I mean, let's just say a 10 year outlook. Is AT&T going to lose 50% of its market cap? I don't know. Who knows, dude, this pandemic should be a better thing, man. Who knows? We could go to an entirely, like, I'm like, yeah, hashtag AT&T. I can't, dude. I'm not promoting dividend investing. I'm just saying, if you're going to pick tops all day and try to guess tops and give up your account, you're better off just going for the dividend. I know, right? Just learn a process, learn how to make money on a repeatable day-to-day strategy and then you're in the driver's seat of your career. Putting money in companies, then you're investing in the company. Say you did have 200 grand to put in AT&T. Dude, now it's up to the company. It ain't up to you. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, that's why they're getting rid of all their freaking volatile companies. Man, they want to keep this shit at 30 for the rest of their life. Yeah, dude, yeah, exactly. Yep, exactly. You got to learn something that you can be in the driver's seat of, man. So, unless you're Warren Buffett, dude who made $650 million on Coca-Cola dividends in 2019, maybe just learn a process. Yep, and the process that we've been doing, that we've been following around is just following these companies with earnings and good reactions to those earnings and just buying the freaking dips, bro. And or writing trend, which is what Alex and I did today, guys. Yeah, let's see. Is there anything, any questions left here? Yeah, so Joe, this line right here is about where the split happened. Look at all these people still not underwater since the start of the split and where everybody was like, it's going to take to 100 now. Yeah, it's like, I thought that Tesla, once Tesla split, it was going to be a sell the news situation. But dude, after it ran, I said that before it ran to 2,500 and after it did that, I was like, I don't know about that. Yeah. TSRI, where's that question, brother? There was a question earlier about TSRI. Maybe repost, I totally missed it. No, I got it. You got it? You got it? Yeah, hang on. Talk about TSRI this morning. Thought there was a death line around 570, bottomed out at 518 and then fought its way back where my strategies flawed. Could I short them up anyway? Better. How much is TSRI even up? You are a much bigger fan of the death line in your own trading than I am. Like, I'm actually, I focus more on outer lines, but like, what would you say on that? Like, what's here? It's not up enough. I was just going to say the exact same thing. I don't like the fact that there's not a crazy amount of meat on it. Yeah, it's, well, I mean, where is it? How many percent is it up? I can't even, it's super small here. Let me hang on. Oh, I'm sorry, brother. Where do you see that on TOS? It's right there, right? Right here. Was I saying 19? 19 percent. Is that what that says? Yep. My quality's kind of low. No, no, no, yeah. 19.48 percent. Yeah, so. This is a microcat, man. This is a one point, like, dude, I'm not trying to hit lows on a microcat. If you look at, if you look at how we teach the death line in the accelerator course, I talk about all of the special criteria that is needed for a death line. And one of those criteria in that course, you would know that TSRI did not have a death line because there was not enough meat on that bone. There, there, I mean, if it breaks the lows, it's running into support. I mean, if you look at the daily chart, I'm sure there's support that's coming into that. It's just, there's no meat on that bone. Oh, water out of a rock. This ugly thing. Yeah, look at that. Ew. Ew. Yeah, so like, if you go to the daily chart, it looks, it's like needle-dicted. It looks terrible, but here's the point. It's like, I don't care. It looks like my heart when I trade a small cap. Oh, God. Oh, my God, that made me laugh. You don't talk about it. Here's the thing, guys. Yeah, that was me shorting Apple today. I was like, I know this today's the day, but I'm still shitting myself. I went through three training days. Heart rate through the moon. And you're like, how come they don't talk about my needle? Breathe. Val is forever a legend for saying that. Yes. So, Mr. Connor, yeah, jump back in the library. And I did a video on death lines in the very beginning of Trading Basics. And it was like an hour and a half webinar just in the middle of the day, because I saw a bunch of people just, like, butchering the death line play. And I was like, no, for the love of God, folks. We got to watch, we got to talk about this. We got to talk about this. Right here, check this out. I am on the M.I.S. video library, all categories, death line, baby. Search, you need to watch all these. Go to the beginning. Go to the last page. Oh, let's go to the last then. Oh, five. There you go. What is the death line? How do you- There's Alex's first video of that. And then, so go to page four. Joe's in here somewhere. And right there, developing criteria for the death line. Right there. Here we go. And then you can watch, bow, trade them live. You've got all kinds of stuff, but you need to start back at the beginning of the videos and work through those. And there's all the criteria in that video. I literally talk about everything in that video. Guys, this is gonna be your best start, though. For anybody that doesn't have the accelerator course, I promise you, this is the best way to start in our club. This is going to narrow down every major bullet point or topic that we've ever needed to cover for questions like this. And dude, this is the way to go. So if you do have access to this, go directly to that part of the accelerator course. If you don't have it, just text me and we can figure out about how to get it to you. Yep. And I mean, there's a great example right there. TLSA, not to be confused with Tesla. You had it there on the screen. The small cap Tesla. Yes. This is such a piece of shit. Look at that. Dude, that is so funny. But there was a video where y'all talked about trading that where Alex talked about it. And I think maybe it was a lifetime video, I don't know. But there's all kinds of content in there. I'm not gonna give away the deathline strategy and how we trade it on a free public webinar. It's all in there. So I mean, jump in the videos or jump into the DMs and ask us, because we'll tell you. DMs, man, we're here for you. Yeah, there's the link to the video right there. I mean, y'all have to watch. You gotta watch it. I literally give like every piece of the sauce away right there. Y'all would have literally looked at that. He would have eyeballed this today, especially according to Flo and just said, dude, this is not kind of great. Dude, the Flo would have been a big red flag. And then the second big red flag is at the deathline, at 570, I agree that that would be a deathline. Yeah, if that was not, you know, we're not up 15% at the deathline. Like how much more meat is there? There's none. When this shows 90% and a ton of overhead, it's go time, but it's gonna have a bigger flow. All about it, all about it. And that's the problem that a lot of people do is they learn these strategies and they come in and then they try to curve fit. They try to find stocks to make them work. Just stabbed a thumb in a sewing incident. I need to lay low for a while. Can you help me out? He ties down. I know of a haystack. Oh yeah, just what the fuck. That's funny. That was good. No, I was just dying over there, man. That's like dad humor right there. That is good. That is kind of like a dad joke. That's freaking funny. Thankfully the paper trades are no capital loss, but this is good for learning when to go. Dude, 100% man. Yeah, if you're not going live, brother, definitely practice on paper until you get it down, Joseph. And then once you hit a couple, you know, real nails on the paper account when it comes to deathline and you got your confidence up, it's time to switch over to real brother and start small so you don't, you know, shake yourself out and just understand the process and just understand how to get your emotions right in the trade, right? Yeah, and don't, what's running right now? Go-go? Go-go, yeah. Yeah, don't go apply to a deathline to this now. Definitely. It ain't coming. Deathline is not this. Deathline is not this. There's no deathline here. Is a multi-day runner. Don't touch it. Let's get a first red day on this by Friday, huh? Huh? Let's get a first red day on this by Friday. That would be sick. For real? I might come back to small caps for a second. I'm like, keep going, man. Yeah, dude, 15 bucks, that'd be great. It'd be all about that. Court. If it was under 17, was the deathline potential? Oh, I didn't even see this one today. What's this? Whoa! Oh my God, that's gross. That's right. Oh, Bob posted this earlier. Dude, you know what this reminds me of? Oh. You know what this reminds me of? Is PLAG, when PLAG ran like this, and then what was that other one? YECO, Y-E-C-O, right? That they used to, it was like, it was last year sometimes where like, they would start the move here and then all of a sudden Algos would just walk it up and then just squeeze the living crap out of shorts. And it would just do this. And then there's like no news ever. And then the SEC would come in and halt it and then Longs would be like, and then it would open up at four bucks. Dude, I don't know. None of them took profits in any of this. They're like, it's going to a hundred. I'm gonna pay my mortgage off. And then nobody would take profits and then it would be like. Guys, if I've learned one thing in seven years from trading and if you're listening in on this, you probably have experienced the same thing one point or another. If you are ever in the feeling of like, dude, this trade's gonna pay off my mortgage, you're dead wrong. You're so wrong. You're so wrong. So wrong. No, you're not gonna pay your mortgage. You're gonna take out a second mortgage to make up for the error that you just made. Dude, I'm telling you. Any time that you think you're the big dick in town, guess what? Life comes and sticks a hot poker where it shouldn't be and it humbles you. There's a few trades I wish I took a mortgage on. Yeah, HMMI. Oh my God. Ryan, are you kidding me, dude? You trade big caps, dude. There's everyday potential to take a mortgage on any one of those trades, although you shouldn't. Yeah. Oh man. So much potential in big caps, man. It's like, honestly, Joe, I gotta tell you, dude, I love big caps and they will always, I mean, small caps, they will always be near and dear to my heart, but there are times where I'm like, man, I really wanna just go back and focus on big caps because big caps, man, you get in, you set a stop, you go on vacation. Literally. Really, dude? Yeah, for real. I mean, you just ride it. Just ride. And then you just ride the trend, man. It's like, it's almost like actually court. Like when you have action like this, guys, that's like how big caps trade. Like this is like just a riding of trend, man. It's like, do not buy. And this trend will hold for the in forever. It ain't never gonna come back down here. I like what Buckle just said. If you think you're the big dick, you're really just a needle dick. Yeah. Yeah. See, see, Bao's biggest hurdle is not the actual trading part. It's showing up to the trading part. This is Bao's deadline. Oh, shit. Before we go. But you know what, guys? I'm telling you right now, I know we don't have a lot of time left. If you guys are brand new to trading and there's one thing I kind of want to end this with is if you have like a $2,000 account right now, guys, and you're brand new and you don't know anything in part about trading and you're not part of something like MIC, I cannot stress and I'm not even saying MIC. I'm just saying for your education. I can't stress enough how quickly, almost guaranteed you will lose your $2,000. Just invest in your education first. You have to invest in yourself. You're, you know, for the P, I just don't understand the mentality man because I get a lot of people that text me daily on interested in joining the club. And a lot of people would say, hey, brother, you know what? I love what you guys are about. You guys are legitimate as hell. I've read the testimonials. They're fantastic. But I'll tell you what, I'll join when I make the profits from trading and I go, dude, I will never see you again. Or after you are broke, you will not make it from trading or make the profits to pay for an education because you don't have the education, bro. For real. And I'm not even just saying this about MIC guys. Obviously we teach here at MIC. I'm saying your education in any industry you can't just expect to go not know how to not fight trend or overstate. Look what happened today. If you thought today was the day for spy and you short in the morning and then it rips your face off and you hold a winter too long. I'm telling you, take advantage of our Labor Day sales, man. Right now, dude, we have some of the best promotions we've had in a very long time. We wanna make sure you guys are taking care of and actually as a very special bonus this week, Alex and I thought it would be a really good idea that I'm gonna go a step further, man. On Friday, I'm gonna give a 30 minute Q&A webinar. Joe, you can join me totally if you want. But for all of our new guys who signed up in the last like week or two weeks, literally all of our promotion guys from the anniversary of the boot camp, we got a lot of guys that really just don't know anything about trading. And they came in and they're asking questions where I'm like, you know what, man? I'm gonna put on a webinar for you guys real quick. So guys, Friday at 12 Eastern Standard Time, which is very easy on me because that's about nine my time. We're gonna do a kind of like a webinar. What's that? Yeah, so noon. Noon on Friday. Noon on Friday. I'm gonna just at least take a half an hour for all of our new guys, all of our brand new guys specifically. And we're gonna do a webinar for you guys and just answer your questions, man, whether it's me and Joe or just myself, just need to make sure that you guys have the basics down, man, because I don't want to see you guys annihilated or destroyed, man. Dude, I'm telling you, man, you're not a number at MIC. You come in, we know your name, we shake your hand, you know, more in the past when we could actually meet people based on the pandemic, but I'm telling you, man, if you're new, man, we got your back, but you gotta put in the time, man, and we're gonna help you as best we can. Text me and we're gonna get you in the club for a very nice rate. This is not a single month discount. We are not changing that again. We did that for the anniversary as a one time off. This is for other packages, but I will hook you up. So, you know, whether you guys want, you know, talk about accelerator and annual, something like that, stuff like that. Dude, I'm so glad you like it. Buckle, man, it looks like you're a new member. There's so much I love here. I love that, dude, awesome. Yeah, so, you know- Text Cobra to special, for special, do you? Yep, text Cobra this number, guys, and we're gonna hook you up, man. We're here for you, and I'm gonna put on that webinar. I will definitely remind all of our new guys. I will definitely send a reminder, but Friday at noon, I got your back. Let's go in, send me fucking charts, dude. Send me your questions. If Joe has time, that'd be awesome. If not, I'm there for you, and we're gonna get this done, and dude, we're gonna do the damn thing, man, just like we do every day, and make sure that you guys have the knowledge that you need. I promise you. Joe- TZ for tiny international account? Yeah, that's- I mean, that's why the TZ connection is there. If you're international and you have a small account. I mean, that's, that's, I mean, that's why the promotion's there for MIC. Yeah, guys, we have a partnership with TZ. So, you know, TZ is a wonderful option for our international guys. If you have a smaller account, and that's what is gonna be the best resource for you, we don't partner with anybody we don't support. Think that they're doing a wonderful job and are helping the community just like we are. Our number one vision was to open this up. You know, open MIC up, you know, create the best chat room online, price it extremely fairly, not upsell you on all this bullshit daily and outdated content. We are here to make sure that everything is up to date, and you are getting, you know, the information that you need. And also, you know, if you're part of a service man, like where they're swinging hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, you know, they're up 500 grand. The next week they're down 700 grand. Do you really want to learn from that? Is that repeatable? Like you got to think, man, you got to think are people pumping positions with an agenda, which we don't do, you know, we're going to teach you how to actually trade. We're not going to give you a stock pick. We're going to trade the stock market. Like there's a very big difference, man. Right on, man. Well, Joe, I'll leave you at the bell, brother. Well, let's go and enjoy some lunch, man. I'm on West Coast, so I got to eat something, man. Right on, dude. All right, we'll see you next week. I love you guys. I love you guys, man, Friday, and we'll get the damn thing done, man. Thanks everybody for coming. And if you have any questions again, two and three, four, five, eight, five, nine, and seven. See you guys. Oh, what's up, Trev? See you guys later.
