So i'm definitely glad that we spoke about this yesterday, but i'm very sad to see that it's kind of um actually happening. So yesterday i made a video. A lot of people were asking. You know, hey ricky.

What happens if russia attacks ukraine um? What are we gon na see? Go up? What are we gon na see? Go down. Obviously, if there's an attack in ukraine, uh, which obviously tensions were really really high, right, there's a lot of uncertainty and if this attack ended up happening, um we've seen the nasdaq market we've seen overall markets already begin to bleed right due to the uncertainty with that. Being said, oil was a really big focus today, just a couple minutes ago, uh, according to my understanding, putin announced that russia is declaring war against ukraine um and not only that, but he also stated, according to this article, that i read, i don't know if it Translates exactly like this, i don't speak russian myself, uh, which i think is pretty pretty just scary, um, that if any country interferes with russia's actions, it will see consequences that have never been seen before. I don't know i just forget about how it is that i feel about it: let's go ahead and just dive right into it, um nasdaq market.

Where is this at or where's the focus right? We talked about the oil companies that russia is one of the largest producers of oil right. Therefore, they're going to be blocked off no one's going to want to work with import anything from russia, especially while this war is happening right. Why? Why would you help someone or or fuel someone right economy, while this is all happening? Blockage, meaning that again we import a lot from russia. Therefore, russia being one of the largest importers or exporters, we should see oil prices rise.

Oil prices are now per barrel over a hundred dollars. We talked about this yesterday. Did we not be careful tomorrow? If this continues, we should see a lot of momentum in favor. Tomorrow's gon na be probably a really big day for oil and for crude oil check.

This out crude oil futures, wti futures right now right, we talked about wti wti futures up nearly five percent, so for those that are unaware, futures trade beyond normal trading hours, you guys can look at the nasdaq, not the nasdaq index. This is the nasdaq future. When asking the question: hey, is tomorrow, going to be red, there's no simple way in putting it. The nasdaq market is already down 2.78, that's on top of what it was already down today.

So that means, if you're in tqq, which is triple leveraged, then it's three times that it's down nearly nine percent based off of current values. But where else maybe should your attention be? One of the things that we did not talk enough about is the vix um. All right, so i actually want to take a step back just so you guys can look at this. The vix is a great indicator with when there's fear in the market.

Right when there's uncertainty and just to put into perspective, we can go all the way back again, this huge push up to 85 right 85. that was back during the pandemic. We shot up the only time that i've ever seen it be at those same levels was actually back in 2008. It was at 89.

other than that. There's a common resistance level right around 47 to 50 dollars, which i think that tomorrow we might hit. But as of right now we're a little bit more on the overbought side, but again right sitting right around that 30 30 price point: it's it's very important to understand these levels right because do they last forever? No, this uncertainty or the sphere does not last forever, but when it does and when it does hit again, the vix is a great kind of index to use as a reference uh which follows if i'm not mistaken, um overall options activity for the s: p, 500. Btc for all of my crypto wizards out there, i'm not even a big investor in btc, but right now, it's already down below 35 000 a coin.

This is from previous highs. At 69, the cheap keeps getting cheaper. So what are a couple steps that you can take to prepare right? We talked about position size, we've talked about risk management, that's something that you should already know. What should you or can you do tomorrow right if you're part of my learn plan, profit group, and if you watched yesterday's video, we talked about oil prices right.

The demand of oil is is therefore only going to increase with the scarcity and the blockage of russia. Not only oil but also natural gas, not only natural gas, but crude oil may be shorting the market. If you see a continuous direction to be in your favor right now, just taking a quick little step back, we could see we could see overall markets. It's not just ours, it's not just going to be your stock, and this is what i need you to understand.

I need you to know this, and i hope that you know that i'm trying to look out for you. It's not just your stocks that are down. It's not just the stocks that you're invested, that are it's not just tesla. That is down right.

I don't know what stock you're invested in that's just the popular stock right. It's everything! It's the overall market sentiment. This is not something that you know a year ago. We could have predicted right, but it's something that you have to anticipate or tolerate and if not and if you can't then this is where you manage or mitigate risk again, i don't ever want you to feel that you're alone with this.
