    No trading the last 23 pages. It changed to a diary. Pity.

    Well what do you know? Someone actually purchased the book I published through Barnes & Noble...

    I do not plan to publish my book on trading until I'm making money hand over fist, assuming that ever happens. First, I need to lock down the precise modus operandi I consider optimal, which I've probably just accomplished—which depends on an eight-hour framework from a day-to-day perspective and a two-hour framework intraday.

    I've basically deleted all my other chart configurations and now simply need to shift back to devoting most of my time to trading as opposed to spending so much of it writing music, authoring books, starting a business, etc.

    Once I've confirmed that my eight-hour/two-hour approach rakes in the dough like never before (if indeed it does), I'll start chronicling my actual trades in a format compatible with a step-by-step DIY handbook on day trading the Forex market that I can easily insert into the manuscript as it presently exists (or at least that's my plan).

    What is the bright light I see in the southwest sky over Southern California tonight?

    The bright light you see in the southwest sky over Southern California tonight is most likely Venus. It's often the brightest object visible in the sky after sunset and is easily identifiable in the western part of the sky.

    Key points about Venus:
    • Very bright: Due to its thick clouds reflecting a lot of sunlight back towards Earth.
    • Visible shortly after sunset: One of the first celestial objects to appear in the evening sky.
    • Location: Look towards the southwest to spot Venus.

    Was that a rocket I saw in the sky flying over Long Beach, California at 6:00 this morning?

    Yes, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Friday, January 24, 2025. The launch was visible in Southern California, including over Long Beach.
    Explanation
    • The launch was part of a SpaceX mission to deliver Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit
    • The launch window opened at 5:54 AM PT
    • A live webcast of the launch was available on SpaceX's website and on X @SpaceX
    • The first stage of the Falcon 9 landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean

    What is going on with DB Schenker and the Westin Hotel in downtown Long Beach, CA?

    DB Schenker hosted their top customers at The Westin Long Beach with an appearance by tennis legend John McEnroe.

    The company is a global logistics service provider that offers a range of services. They provide everything from land transport to ocean freight, air freight and warehousing. DB Schenker seeks innovative and sustainable ways to shape the exchange of goods and supply chain management.

    John McEnroe shared an entertaining story about his early days as a tennis star. At the age of 20, while staying in a New York City hotel, he taught himself to play David Bowie’s "Rebel Rebel" on the guitar. As he was loudly singing and playing the song, David Bowie himself knocked on his door and invited McEnroe to a party in another room at the hotel. As McEnroe was leaving, Bowie noticed his guitar and told him, "don't bring it".

    John McEnroe is available for bookings for interactive sessions at meetings. He is also noted as the longest-tenured spokesperson for Nike—longer than Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Serena Williams.

    Delivery Robots in Long Beach

    Automated delivery robots have recently appeared in Downtown Long Beach, delivering food to app users. These robots are part of a growing trend in automated delivery services. The city is now in the process of creating regulations for when and how these robots are allowed to operate.

    Companies Involved

    Uber and NVIDIA back Serve Robotics, which develops AI-powered sidewalk delivery robots. Serve Robotics aims to make delivery sustainable with low-emissions robots.

    Challenges and Public Perception

    Delivery robots sometimes face challenges navigating sidewalks, as highlighted in a TikTok video showing a robot struggling with obstructions. Some locals have been observed interacting with and, at times, even abusing the robots already in operation in areas such as downtown Los Angeles.
