Before we jump in — if you want to see the tools mentioned in this episode in action, including the 0DTE Trend Spread Engine and the 1DTE Bias indicator, visit AlphaCrunching.com to learn more and join the trading community.In this episode, Eric discusses the recent market breakdown and how current geopolitical tensions, volatility, and upcoming economic data are shaping trading decisions. With SPX experiencing sharp moves and uncertainty rising, he walks through how he's adapting his approach and managing trades during this environment.A major theme is market structure and key levels. Right now, gamma positioning appears scattered across large round numbers, suggesting institutional traders themselves are uncertain. As a result, Eric is watching major SPX levels every 100 points (6600, 6700, 6800, etc.) as potential support and resistance zones while the market “ping-pongs” between them.He also reviews the macro backdrop driving volatility, including geopolitical tensions, sector rotation away from AI stocks, and a busy week of economic data with CPI, jobless claims, and PCE all ahead. These events could determine whether the market stabilizes or pushes lower toward the mid-6600s.Eric then explains how he's positioning his portfolio:Maintaining a core SPY position while actively trading around itUsing covered calls and rolling positions to manage downside while leaving room for upside participationPausing many longer-duration spreads due to increased uncertaintyMuch of the current trading activity has shifted toward shorter-term strategies, particularly SPX 0DTE trades.The episode highlights how the AlphaCrunching 0DTE Trend Spread Engine (TSE) is being used in practice. The system ranks the best times of day for 0DTE spreads based on historical performance and now posts the short strike levels from the highest-probability trades. These levels act as data-backed areas where SPX has historically stayed away from by expiration, allowing traders to use them as reference points for structuring credit spreads.Eric also introduces progress on the 1DTE Bias indicator, an experimental tool that evaluates market regimes using factors like trend behavior and VIX conditions. By comparing current conditions to historical matches over the past three years, the tool estimates the probability of the market closing higher the next day. The recent volatility spike has highlighted one of the challenges of building this model: unusual market conditions sometimes produce very small historical sample sizes.The episode closes with an important reminder about patience and risk management. In volatile environments, it's often better to wait for conditions to settle rather than forcing trades. Sometimes the best position is simply holding cash until clearer opportunities emerge.Overall, this discussion provides a real-time look at how Eric is navigating a volatile market using a combination of macro awareness, probability-based levels, and adaptive options strategies.

While business inventories caught Kevin Green's eye, he says the February jobs report was what rattled investors in an already volatile trading environment. He points to a loss in healthcare jobs as a key sign of weakness for what has traditionally been a strong sector. That said, KG expected this month's report to be volatile. Crude oil discussions continue to dominate the commodity space as he explains what beyond Iran is driving prices toward $90. Don't overlook the grains trade — KG says wheat and soybeans can also see wild price swings. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

And she's worried we're repeating the same mistakes, faster. In this Women's Day Special, she pulls no punches: on why "AGI" is meaningless hype, why governance can't wait, why the Global South matters, and why an industry dominated by alpha males is building systems that reflect exactly that.

ACORE, the power and renewables industry group, is this week hosting its annual Policy Forum in Washinton DC. It's an event where industry leaders and experts discuss how the changing landscape of US energy policy is shaping infrastructure investment, the growth of electricity supply, and the affordability of power. Host Ed Crooks is recording two special episodes from the forum. This first show is focused on the US government's attempts to build up a domestic supply chain for renewables and other energy equipment. Ed speaks with Dr Sarah Kapnick, who is the global head of Climate Advisory at JP Morgan, and Peter Toomey, the Chief Development Officer at Cypress Creek Renewables, which is one of the country's leading energy developers. They discuss how supply chains and infrastructure for renewable energy are evolving. Demand for electricity is booming, but supply chains are under pressure. Volatile government support creates uncertainty for developers and suppliers. The “one big beautiful bill” (OB3) last year, which scrapped tax credits for wind and solar power, created “cliffs” in support for projects as the deadlines for eligibility are passed. That creates challenges for equipment manufacturers thinking about investing in new production capacity in the US. The Trump administration, like the Biden administration before it, faces a tension between its objectives of building up US manufacturing, accelerating US electricity supply growth, and making consumers' power bills more affordable. The ultimate question is whether the US can build resilient, competitive, domestic energy supply chains while balancing affordability, energy security, and surging demand from AI. Plus, Ed talks to Alice Lin, a senior tax advisor at the Natural Resource Defense council who worked on the Biden administration's move to increase tax credits for low-carbon energy with the Inflation Reduction Act. They debate the realities of clean energy tax incentives, and in particular the latest changes to the FEOC (Foreign Entities of Concern) rules. The aim is to stop companies from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran from benefiting from US tax credits. But even though the US Treasury recently published guidance on how it will apply the rules from the legislation last year, it is still not entirely clear what effect they will have. Developers, manufacturers and investors are still cautiously feeling their way.

Stay the Course, Being Steady in the Lord in the Mist of a Volatile World • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We are living in a time when everything around us seems to be shaking. Nations are shaking, economies are shaking, families are under pressure, and even within the visible church there is instability and compromise. Headlines change by the hour, but the Word of God has not changed. The Lord is raising up a people who will not be driven by fear, trends, or the latest crisis, but who will stay the course and remain steady in Him even when the world is volatile. God is not surprised by this hour. He has already prepared a path for His people. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His promises so that we can stand firm, endure, and even flourish when others are losing hope. 1. Steadfast when everything is shaking First, God calls us to be steadfast and unmovable. He does not want a fearful, fragile church, but a steadfast people who know whom they have believed. 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 2. Running with patience, eyes on Jesus To stay the course in a volatile world, we must run the race God has set before us with patience and with a clear focus on Jesus Himself. Hebrews 12:1 2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 3. Guarding your heart and mind with peace In a volatile world, anxiety comes knocking each day. But the Lord has given us a way to walk in supernatural peace in the middle of chaos. Philippians 4:6 7 “Be careful for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.” 4. God is our refuge when the earth trembles There are times when the shaking is not just emotional or personal, but global. Even then, God promises to be our refuge and strength. Psalm 46:1 3 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” 5. Trials that refine instead of destroy Some of the volatility we face is not just out there in the world, it is in the form of personal trials. But in the kingdom, trials are not just random attacks. God uses them to refine, mature, and strengthen us. James 1:2 4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” 6. Not troubled by the signs of the times The Lord even spoke about the volatility of the last days. He told us about wars, rumors of wars, and shaking, yet He also told us how to posture our hearts. Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” 7. Planted, not blown around In a volatile world, many people are tossed like leaves in the wind. But the righteous are called to be planted like trees by rivers of water. Psalm 1:1 3 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Colossians 1:23 “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven whereof I Paul am made a minister.” We are living in a volatile world. There are shaking events, confusing voices, and real pressures on every side. Yet in this very hour, God is calling His people to stay the course. To be steadfast and unmovable. To keep our eyes on Jesus. To trade anxiety for prayer and thanksgiving. To let His peace guard our hearts and minds. To refuse to waste our trials and instead allow them to refine us. To endure to the end. To delight in His Word until we are like trees planted by rivers of living water. To stay steady in the Lord in this kind of world is not something we can do in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit. We need the Word of God dwelling richly in us. We need fellowship with other believers who are also set on finishing well. So today, ask yourself, where have I been shaken. Where have I let fear, offense, or weariness push me off course. Where have I been listening more to the world than to the Word. Bring those areas back to the feet of Jesus. Surrender again. Say from your heart, “Lord, I choose to stay the course. Make me steadfast. Guard my mind with Your peace. Plant me deep in Your Word. Help me endure and finish my race well.” As you do, the same God who steadied Joseph in a foreign land, Daniel in a hostile empire, and the early church in a time of persecution will steady you in this generation. The world may be volatile, but your God is not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in Him you can stand firm until the very end.

Across the grain industry, facility leaders are navigating a level of uncertainty we haven't seen in years. Volatile commodity markets. Weather extremes. Labor shortages. Tighter margins. Rising expectations around safety, uptime, and quality.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz sits down with Matt Koch, Chief Marketing Officer at Sukup Manufacturing Co., to explore what it really takes to operate a modern grain facility in today's unpredictable environment.From macro market pressures and geopolitical shifts to storage strategy, grain conditioning risk, and practical automation, this conversation moves beyond equipment to systems thinking. Matt shares a global perspective from working with producers, commercial elevators, terminals, and processors across more than 100 countries.The takeaway? Long-term success isn't just about buying low and selling high. It's about reducing loss, designing resilient systems, and operating dependably—year after year.What You'll Learn• Why many operators are shifting from short-term optimization to 3–7 year strategic planning • How global trade, energy markets, and geopolitics are shaping grain infrastructure decisions • Why storage is becoming a strategic lever—not just capacity • The hidden risks of large-bin consolidation and long-term storage • How under-designed aeration systems quietly erode margins • Why CO₂ monitoring often detects grain issues before temperature spikes • What meaningful automation actually looks like in commercial facilities • How modular OEM automation systems can improve safety and consistency • Why preventing loss often matters more than market timingKey ThemesStorage as StrategyWell-designed storage allows operators to create market flexibility, improve throughput, standardize multi-site operations, and reduce management complexity. Scale has changed the game—and infrastructure must evolve with it.Grain Conditioning RiskAs bins grow larger, risk grows with them. Consolidated storage requires tighter monitoring. CO₂ levels, moisture control, proper fan management, and active oversight are critical to protecting grain value over long-term storage cycles.Automation for Real-World OperationsAutomation isn't about flashy control rooms. It's about preventing operator error at 2:00 a.m., improving safety, supporting lean teams, and ensuring consistent procedures across facilities.Loss Prevention Over SpeculationWhile commodity markets drive headlines, operational discipline drives profitability. Reducing spoilage, minimizing downtime, and designing dependable systems may be the most powerful competitive advantage.Learn more at: www.sukup.comGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Ever been in a relationship where you felt like it started off GREAT, but over time it became really hard? Ever felt like you had electric sex with someone, especially at the beginning, but then you were often put in the doghouse for doing something “wrong,” and that eventually you ended up constantly walking on eggshells to try not to trigger your partner? Then you'll likely resonate with this episode.If you're someone who struggles with setting healthy boundaries, you may have noticed a certain pattern in terms of the dating and relationship partners you've ended up with.In our work with men we've often seen a certain kind of polarity where men with Nice Guy tendencies attract women with traits of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These women are often brilliant, funny, engaging, witty, exciting to be around … and volatile. Romantic relationships with them can be a rollercoaster with precipitous highs and lows.Fortunately, we've also seen countless men overcome this pattern and grow beyond it. Here we delve into the pattern itself, reasons behind it, and what to do about it.Memorable quotes:“One of the hallmark traits of Nice Guys is overextending.”“It's often the volatile person's nervous system that gets centered.”“If you don't see reality their way, you're the enemy.”“There's a fear that if I end this, I'm going to be alone.”“At an early age, the Nice Guy had to regulate one of his parents, or the family system itself.”“Maybe me speaking up isn't aggressive.”—Mentioned on this episode:Dear Men episode 239: Just realized I'm a nice guy. Now what?Dear Men episode 128: Feel like you're walking on eggshells? Recognizing Borderline Personality Disorder

Sam Miller looks under the hood at the rotation trade and positive signs for equities. The AI trade is changing: capex spend is still staggering, expected to reach $600B this year, but the market is no longer rewarding the spend as business models are called into question. He warns investors against trying to catch a falling knife, urging patience instead. Sam is cautious short-term on cyclicals, calling them overbought, even as he thinks rotation remains the theme of the year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

FOR MORE - Debt Fund Due Diligence Hub: www.passivepockets.com/debtdd Next Steps Join the discussion + access links/resources: www.passivepockets.com/debtdd Attend the community Zooms (or watch recordings later) Dates mentioned in the episode: Feb 18, Feb 25, Mar 3 (check the member dashboard for times/updates) Attend the 2026 Summit Conference: https://get.biggerpockets.com/passivepocketssummit2026/ This Episode We're officially kicking off PassivePockets' new Debt Fund Due Diligence Series built around what members told us they want most: capital protection and steady cash flow in an uncertain macro environment. Chris Lopez breaks down what real estate private lending actually is (fix-and-flip, bridge, and ground-up construction), why senior debt sits in the “first paid / last to lose” position on the capital stack, and how lending can reduce downside volatility compared to equity-heavy strategies. From there, Chris gets tactical on how to evaluate debt funds like a pro, starting with the single most important document: the loan tape. You'll learn what a loan tape is, what to look for (LTV/LTC/LTARV, borrower quality, defaults/delinquencies, interest reserves, extensions, leverage, fees, and more), and how real-time portfolio data can change the way you assess track record versus longer-cycle equity deals. Chris also shares a field-tested framework for deeper due diligence, including the on-site audit process: reviewing SOPs, pulling and verifying loan files, confirming recorded deeds of trust, and “follow the money” bank reconciliation to reduce lending and fraud risk. Finally, Chris outlines what's next for the series community Zooms, expert panels, sponsor spotlights, and ultimately a community-built Debt Fund DD checklist that lives in the membership area as a continuously updated resource. Key Takeaways Why we're starting with debt: members' #1 fear is losing principal and #1 motivation is steady cash flow Private lending basics: fix-and-flip, bridge, and ground-up construction loan types—and typical timelines Real estate credit is massive: a multi-trillion-dollar market many retail investors still have little exposure to Capital stack 101: why senior debt is “first paid / last to lose,” and how it can reduce return variance Portfolio strategy: debt often functions like the “bond sleeve” of a real estate portfolio as you rebalance risk Two approaches: direct lending (control + concentration) vs debt funds (diversification + passivity) The loan tape: what it is, why it matters, and which columns/metrics actually tell you if risk is controlled The two risks Chris focuses on: lending risk (staying inside the credit box) and fraud risk (borrower + fund level) What “real due diligence” can look like: on-site audits, file pulls, deed-of-trust confirmation, and bank reconciliation Series roadmap: kickoff → community Zooms → panels/fund spotlights → group DD → living DD checklist Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 15In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover intriguing discoveries about Mercury's geological activity, NASA's innovative Dragonfly mission to Titan, and the environmental impacts of rocket fuel pollution.Mercury's Surprising StreaksA new study reveals bright streaks, or lineae, on Mercury's surface, suggesting the planet is not as geologically inactive as previously thought. Researchers from the University of Bern utilized machine learning to analyze over 100,000 images from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, discovering that these streaks are likely caused by the outgassing of volatile materials from beneath Mercury's crust. This finding indicates ongoing geological processes and will be further explored by the BepiColombo mission, set to reach Mercury later this year.NASA's Dragonfly Mission to TitanNASA is developing the Dragonfly, a car-sized rotocopter designed to explore Saturn's moon Titan, which features methane and ethane lakes. Scheduled for launch in 2028, Dragonfly will utilize Titan's dense atmosphere to fly to various locations, examining environments that may harbor organic materials essential for life. The mission builds on the success of the Ingenuity rotocopter on Mars, with extensive testing underway to ensure optimal performance in Titan's unique conditions.Rocket Fuel Pollution and the Ozone LayerA recent study highlights the damaging effects of burning rocket fuels, such as kerosene, on Earth's ozone layer. The report indicates that the rapid growth of the rocket launch industry is exacerbating this issue, particularly affecting regions like Antarctica and parts of Australia. Researchers are calling for restrictions on the use of these fuels to mitigate environmental harm.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Communications, Earth and EnvironmentClimate and Atmospheric ScienceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Streaks on the surface of Mercury suggesting it's not quite dead yet(00:11:13) Burning rocket fuel damages Earth's ozone layer, study finds(00:12:28) A new study claims cyber attacks can spark intense social media discussions(00:14:53) Apple bans anti woke Holly Valent song from iTunes in Australia(00:16:39) Apple has now had hypertension notifications authorized by the TGN(00:18:04) Space Time is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through bitesz. com

Kevin Green begins his market analysis with a look at PMI manufacturing's better-than-expected report. However, he notes bond weakness as something for investors to watch even as the U.S. dollar adds support. KG still has a warning for traders: "prepare for February to be very volatile." Bitcoin's stumble below $80,000 shows another warning to the risk-on trade, though KG believes a reversal will signal strong short-term support. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In today's episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I begin with a reality caregivers understand instinctively: disruption rarely announces itself, and caregivers are often the ones who absorb the impact first. From ice storms devastating the Southeast to wildfire threats here in Montana, I reflect on how quickly normal life can unravel. For caregivers living close to the edge, preparation is not fear-driven living. It is stewardship. When power fails, routines collapse, and recovery stretches on far longer than expected, caregivers are often the ones holding everything together. From there, I turn to a sobering cultural moment: the coordinated disruption of a church service in Minneapolis. This was not spontaneous protest or isolated behavior. It involved planning, agreement, and coordinated action, and that distinction matters. When sacred spaces are deliberately disrupted, we are no longer debating policy. We are testing whether restraint still exists and whether consequences still matter. Silence in moments like this is not neutrality. It is assent. I then connect this moment to what caregivers already know through lived experience. Families navigating addiction, mental illness, and chronic volatility understand how quickly situations can escalate when emotions are raw and trust is thin. Caregivers survive by learning vigilance, establishing boundaries, and refusing to respond with panic or bravado. Scripture does not train us for theatrics. It trains us for endurance, clarity, and steadiness shaped by truth. In the final segment, I introduce our hymn of the week, "The Joy of the Lord," drawn from Nehemiah 8, and share a brief excerpt from a recording close to my heart. Biblical joy is not denial or emotional escape. It is strength rooted in the presence of God, especially when lives feel shaken and must be rebuilt from the rubble. I invite listeners to hear the full song on Spotify and other streaming platforms and to let it minister beyond this program. This episode is about preparedness without panic, vigilance without fear, and the kind of calm that is possible not because the threats are small, but because God is not. For caregivers, and for the church, endurance still matters. Truth still steadies. Hope remains.

Jamie Dickerman of Red River Farm Network and Randy Martinson of Martinson Ag Risk Management discuss the way the market is responding to extreme weather events this week on the Agweek Market Wrap.
In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael sits down with Chris Kline, Co-Founder and CRO of BitcoinIRA, to unpack what it really takes to build long-term wealth in an economy where traditional retirement systems are no longer guaranteed. Chris shares the unfiltered origin story of BitcoinIRA, from leaving Colorado for Los Angeles, living in a motel, and grinding through long days, to scaling the company into a platform serving more than 200,000 users and managing over $12 billion in assets. Along the way, he reflects on the leadership tension between scaling complexity and the clarity of early-stage simplicity. The conversation expands into the broader retirement crisis facing North America. With pensions disappearing and nearly half of Americans not actively participating in retirement planning, Michael and Chris challenge listeners to rethink responsibility, ownership, and strategy when it comes to long-term financial security. They explore how Bitcoin fits into a modern, diversified portfolio, not as a speculative gamble, but as an alternative asset shaped by scarcity, adoption, and long-term macro trends. The discussion covers due diligence, dollar-cost averaging, portfolio diversification, and the persistent myth that Bitcoin is inaccessible due to price, despite the ability to invest fractionally. Beyond Bitcoin, the episode addresses the importance of diversified income streams. Michael and Chris share real-world examples of building resilience through multiple revenue channels, passive income strategies, and investments across traditional markets, AI, defense, and digital assets. The message is clear: in an uncertain economy, relying on a single paycheck is a structural risk. The episode closes with a reminder that leadership extends beyond business. Chris shares a personal story about his daughter's passion for helping others, reinforcing the idea that purpose, curiosity, and long-term thinking are skills worth teaching the next generation. Listeners also learn about a limited-time BitcoinIRA incentive, including a $1,000 reward for new accounts opened before April 15th, designed to encourage proactive retirement planning. This is a grounded, practical conversation for anyone thinking seriously about financial resilience, leadership, and building a retirement strategy that reflects today's economic reality, not yesterday's assumptions. http://bitcoinira.com/breakfastleadership
