Just an unrelated thought; If you wanted to make a second channel to cover miscellaneous non-finance topics that you still think would be interesting to talk about, you could call it The Everything Bagel.
The daily compound interest lady is a fool. If she were more disciplined , and kept her money interest for an extra year she would have $783 billion, or another year (4), she would have $1,079 trillion. Who's laughing now, if she were more disciplined she'd have several times the global economy.
@@carrettone bruh forget the trading fees, If someone was able to compound like that and if they did it for a few decades then soon their net worth will be more than the entire planet, Corporations would put Hitman on your head long before that
Yeah, I also ended up thinking about that again. The 2% is impossible. But she brushes over it as if it was normal. I guess that’s how she catches the idiots that believe her
"Don't ever be embarassed by how much money you make" .. The sincerity with which you said that tells me that you are genuine and want to impart good financial advice and habits. Kudos to you and your mission. I will definitely continue to be a subscriber. :)
I find it sad he still had to explain it. It's so ingrained in the psyche on modern (american?) worldview that even smart, really thoughtful people like him has to reason it. Truth is it really doesn't matter how much one makes, if (s)he can afford good living it's enough. The actual amount is meaningless.
I'm still so embarrassed that I haven't bought my first private jet hangar yet 😢 Seriously, I don't own a single building in New York and my private golf course only has 9 holes! This 400k a year is killing me! I can barely survive
As my snobby grandmother used to say, "You can spot the nouveau riche from the prétendre riche because the last thing legitimate new money wants is for you to find the secret of exactly how they got it. No one sells tickets to a real golden goose."
Or they’ll rent the goose out, so to speak: start an investment fund and charge clients a percentage. Hedge funds often have a provision where they get a share of any excess returns. Of course the gurus always have a reason why they don’t do this, some vague appeal to democracy and helping the working folks, or conversely an attack on the ruling caste: “Wall Street’s trying to suppress this information, so be a brave rebel and give me $500.”
@@silkroad1201you say that but i doubt it. Everyone else getting rich drives down the value of your money. And you'd still be focused getting richer. Don't pretend you're not human.
Only problem with her statement is that many people with new money DO want the recognition they think will come with sharing how. The thing is, their "secret golden goose" invariably involves a crap ton of work up front. Indeed, 99% either don't want to do that work, or won't be able to keep it up.
"All you need is 3x your money! Those happen all the time!" And all it takes to whipe you out is one of them crashing before it goes up. Pro tip: if your strategy has 1 point of failure, its an insanely risky strategy
Last year I only made $399,999. Had to sell a kidney, put down the dog and pull life support on my dying mother to make ends meet. Really is a struggle when you're poor.
LOLOLOL...Before you unplug Mom, all you need to do is get 3 10 baggers in a row and then take those profits and earn 2% per day...after that compounds for a while, you should be able buy yourself a new kidney, dog, and possibly a new mom; depending of course on how long you have to wait for those 10 baggers ;-)
@pinuyasha, you just haven't been disciplined enough, had you used the softwares with a 2% daily return you'd possibly even been able to buy your dog fresh meat (I think... 399k x 2% compounded over 250 days is like almost 1 million aka minimum wage right?)
A portion of my brain has an instant aneurism upon witnessing even just the delivery style of these tictok videos. You cant imitate your way to riches.
I love how the guy just lists his stock picks. And Richard googles them. And it's terrible. And it looks like the graph of a scam. And Richard doesn't say a word. Because there is nothing else to say.
it looks like the old pump and dump, is a penny stock is not that hard to move the price, he said it has a telegram group where he says the people what they should buy, and later he makes it public, and we all know what happen next
Like Jhonny said, that guy was straight up pump-and-dumping, with penny stocks, which is illegal. A lot of these crooks got used to the lawlessness of crypto and forgot that they aren't allowed to do that crap outside of crypto. Hopefully he fucks around and finds out.
These people are targeting young people whose plan is get educated and get a job. The girl said you're not disciplined enough. Abandoning your current educational and financial plan in exchange for her hands in your pockets scheme is also not being disciplined. While being a cog in the economic machine isn't for everyone, there is no shame in it. A full stomach and your needs being met are dignifying and things to be grateful for. Edit: always appreciate your videos.

It sucks because the people that genuinely need good advice the most (low income w/ long work hours and limited free time) are even less likely to find it when you have all of this horrible information being posted and shared.
@@vertvlogs675 There are plenty of investor education material and some general advice available. Sadly, nobody wants to hear that managing money, whether your own or as a profession, is a skill. It takes time to learn and less entertaining than these tiktoks but you'll get the hang of it (or the basics at least) if you keep at it.
Because that’s what you have to do. The hard part is learning how the market moves and how the cycles work. But yeah… that’s not advice since it doesn’t really give you anything. You have to study and learn a lot of stuff in order to be able to do that. That’s like saying “well if you’re homeless, just buy a house” And it’s actually something that I’ve heard someone say😂😂
I really like your videos and this time i exceptionally liked your outro where you said "never be ashamed of the amount of money you make.". You had a face of sincerity and this is a great message. I definitely am behind my peers in this area, but i often just go back to basics and realize things could be so much worse. Trying to just improve yourself is enough of a measuring stick vs looking at everyone elses success, the envy will drive you mad. Just focus on leveling up what you can do, the rest is noise
There's a reason he put NASDAQ into the name. I imagine a lot of people thought it would be similar to an ETF, bought in and got dumped on. Sad really.
one of the biggest challenges with Quantitative models is that they are "situational". Once the situation that they were taking advantage of passes then they slowly become ineffective in their ability to predict market behavior and thus price direction. And the guy who used Pine Script just showed a back test, not actual results lol
I really like how you are very objective when evaluating those TikTok stuff. I mean, you aren't just disregarding everything they say and considered everything useless. But instead pick out the bad ideas from stuff that actually make sense. So yeah, as a result, it feels very educative. And less just for boosting viewer's ego by dismissing bad advice. For example, comparing stocks with dividends, and explaining the concept behind algo trading (low margin, low durability, constantly work on new algos) feels really helpful!
You have to realise that the TikTok target audience is Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber so by saying 1 in 125k chance they hear "there's a chance". Thank God this is the only time I have been put through TikTok influencing !!
Also Chat GPT is not a knowledge tool nor proper AI. It is Language Prediction model. Yes it can 'code' based on language it learned on the internet. With all the flaws and risks with that involved.
I don't think he was trying to shoot down ChatGPT. He was trying to shoot down the single shot, "I just asked it for the best trading strategy and it made it! 😲" kind of BS. Obviously, there is a lot of code that could be written to do a lot of wonderful things, with ChatGPT. But it's a try/fail/try/fail/try/fail effort.
Love your channel, very grounded and sound advice. My family are chinese americans. When my parents came here , they were poor graduaate students who made $25/month back in China. But with dedicated and diligent investments, mostly in broad indexes and some real estate, they built up several millions over 25 years. I suffered along, but watch and learn from my dad, and now I'm able to expand upoon their success. There is no realistic easy way to riches, but there are lots of high probability to success roads that are long and often tough. But it's the journey that also instill the self decipline that one would need to keep thaf wealth.
I just love these videos! Normally I’m no fan of reaction style videos and often find them boring and would rather watch the original video with no annoying commentary. However your reaction to these TikToks are absolutely hilarious and educational at the same time. Keep em coming!
In all seriousness, that was really good advice to hear, especially from someone like you, Richard. I am not in a place where I want to be financially at my age, so it's really reassuring to hear that validation. I hope we all get to a point where we can provide for our families and communities enough to be comfortable. This life is short, and you can't take money with you.
Richard was far too generous about 10X returns with crypto. Not only does the investor have to choose 3 investments that return 10X, they must invest 100% of their assets into EACH investment. I've been in the markets since 1998 and have been fortunate enough to have multiple 10X (and larger) returns over the years, but the idea of throwing every cent I have after each investment is overwhelmingly nauseating. Investing is NOT gambling. Risk management is ALWAYS priority #1. FANTASTIC video! 😀👍
And unlike with regular investing (where you can do your research first) you have to invest so early that you have no way to predict if a specific shitcoin will get rug pulled/pumped and dumped.
Great video! Please keep making these, as it is an entertaining way to inform young people about the types of red flags to look out for in order to spot scams in the wild.
Thanks for the input, Agent Bagel! Seriously, though, I always find myself checking your viewpoint on topics last to help make sense of complicated issues. Thank you for that.
Thank you. In a sea of anxiety inducing bulls**t, this kind of video is a huge relief and extremely satisfying to hear. A breath of fresh air. Thanks again.
Just so it's said, the reason you should under no circumstances trust ChatGPT with any kind of trading is because it's an AI for talking. It talks well. That's nice, that's impressive, but that's the one thing it does exceptionally well. It's guessing at trading strategies or just copying one it was trained on. It's currently stuck in 2021 so it's most recent data says we're in a low interest, low inflation bull market. Large Language Models will bullshit you with unimaginable confidence about things that are easy to disprove. The more open to interpretation an answer is, the more likely you are to get royally screwed
Even professional ER people are just making informed guesses, and those guys grinded their ass off (or nepotism'd in) to their position, there's ultimately no way to predict the buying and selling behaviors of the entire market.
I don’t really conceptually get the point of “owning” a part of a company if it never actually pays me. I still invest in index funds that include stocks that don’t pay dividends but I still don’t “get” it.
@@itsacorporatething Conceptually, you have a claim to a percentage of their value if they are to be liquidated or sold, and a claim to a percentage of their potential future distribution of wealth to owners. More concretely, if the company has one million dollars on a bank account and you own 1% of the company, then conceptually you own among other things 10,000 dollars of that 1 million. However, I agree things can get more complicated for example when you add that the company might not get sold or liquidated or distribute wealth to owners for the next 10 or 20 years. So you can argue that a share in such a company is in some sense worthless, because no money will actually come out of it and back to you. The only reason why it is worth anything is that other people is willing to pay you for the share, which is pure speculation and 'greater fool'-gambling :)
If you get 10$ of dividend, your company devalues in the same proportion (your share is worth 10$ less). Dividends are irrelevant. AND you pay tax on that
To be fair it is hard to live on $400k a year when i have to pay property taxes on my multi million dollar house. Not to mention the insane insurance and maintenance on my 2 ferraris. I literally couldnt even add an addition to my house this year. Plus utilities are up! Can you imagine what i have to pay to heat a 20000 square foot house! I barely have enough to pay my team of maids, gardeners and pool boys. Just ridiculous.
8:04 no, it's not that common to multiply by 10 your money in cryptos, it happen sometime but only the first holders of those cryptos will multiply by 10 or more the amount of money they have invested, the others will not
In the long run, most if not all, cryptos will go to 0. Because it is largely useless and massively overvalued "industry". Also 9/10 are straight up scams.
5:29 As a person who knows something about coding: No, chat gpt won’t build an entire app for you. For real guys, it’s really just an autocomplete on stereoids.
I do admire the composure you keep while hearing all those bullshit from crappy people who should NOT be given any permission to talk about such relevant and delicate topics. What I also appreciate of you is your honesty: there's no shortcut to make easy money, but to have control over your spending habits, and rely on a professional who actually knows what they're doing. Keep the good work up!
I appreciate your nod to salary not equaling happiness as well as the Plain Bagel breakdown of the FOMO hype others profit from spreading. (see what I did there?)
Way to save the most ridiculous TikTok for last. You’re a failure for not making $400,000 a year? He doesn’t know how you can live on $35,000 a month? I don’t get how people can even say stuff like that with a straight face.
Your comment on the 2 year compound investment strategy. Why I don’t hit the “Join” button. Why I don’t discord. Why I don’t watch anyone who sells a course.
I have actually created a bot with chat gpt via python, but its not how UA-cam channels make it look like, you gotta specify all the necessary parameters and it'll provide a code (you manually have to resolve the errors from it tho), but the code bot will be completely based on your strategy, the AI is not gonna make yourself any money by itself.
Your face says it all to each of these! Its so horrible that people are basically being scamming like this still. I always love your editing, its peak passive sarcasm :p
"Don't ever feel embarrassed about how much money you make". I've just been checking your videos out a bit the past coupla days and this bit just earned you a subscriber. I really appreciate you saying this for all to hear
It just occurs to me that the salary of the US president is $400,000 a year. Fortunately, getting free room, board , and travel expense helps stretch out those $35,000 a month paychecks.
You can tell how credible a TikToker is by whether they can keep their lip sync (the speaking audio matches their mouth) going for at least 30 seconds, and it's kinda nuts how many of them can't accomplish that. Pretty much every UA-camr I've ever watched has that down pat, often for an hour long video, so yeah, guess how much effort that guy has put into his work, and how useful his advice is to you.

Once the situation that they were taking advantage of passes then they slowly become ineffective in their ability to predict market behavior and thus price direction. And the guy who used Pine Script just showed a back test, not actual results lol
Thank you PB. Love the grounded and calm talk with only slight memeage.
I really like how you are very objective when evaluating those TikTok stuff.
I mean, you aren't just disregarding everything they say and considered everything useless. But instead pick out the bad ideas from stuff that actually make sense.
So yeah, as a result, it feels very educative. And less just for boosting viewer's ego by dismissing bad advice.
For example, comparing stocks with dividends, and explaining the concept behind algo trading (low margin, low durability, constantly work on new algos) feels really helpful!
You have to realise that the TikTok target audience is Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber so by saying 1 in 125k chance they hear "there's a chance". Thank God this is the only time I have been put through TikTok influencing !!
So you're telling me there's a chance?!
Petey didn't even have a head!
Also Chat GPT is not a knowledge tool nor proper AI. It is Language Prediction model. Yes it can 'code' based on language it learned on the internet. With all the flaws and risks with that involved.
I've heard it's really funny to ask it about advanced physics.
I don't think he was trying to shoot down ChatGPT. He was trying to shoot down the single shot, "I just asked it for the best trading strategy and it made it! 😲" kind of BS. Obviously, there is a lot of code that could be written to do a lot of wonderful things, with ChatGPT. But it's a try/fail/try/fail/try/fail effort.
@@tymondabrowski12 It´s suprisingly decent at advanced physics, but seems to make more mistakes in simple physics when I´ve tested it.
Love your channel, very grounded and sound advice. My family are chinese americans. When my parents came here , they were poor graduaate students who made $25/month back in China. But with dedicated and diligent investments, mostly in broad indexes and some real estate, they built up several millions over 25 years. I suffered along, but watch and learn from my dad, and now I'm able to expand upoon their success. There is no realistic easy way to riches, but there are lots of high probability to success roads that are long and often tough. But it's the journey that also instill the self decipline that one would need to keep thaf wealth.
Thanks
Truly informative and useful, I will now proceed to go home and simply grow my portfolio 2% per day instead of what I was doing before
Thanks!
I'm usually surprised by your ability to analyze absolute nonsense so calmly but it's just on another level with these tiktoks
I just love these videos! Normally I’m no fan of reaction style videos and often find them boring and would rather watch the original video with no annoying commentary. However your reaction to these TikToks are absolutely hilarious and educational at the same time. Keep em coming!
In all seriousness, that was really good advice to hear, especially from someone like you, Richard. I am not in a place where I want to be financially at my age, so it's really reassuring to hear that validation. I hope we all get to a point where we can provide for our families and communities enough to be comfortable. This life is short, and you can't take money with you.
Final PSA about not feeling bad about your income was nice to see, very succinct way of wording it. Well done as always
Love this series! Thank you for part 5!
16:10 came here for lols and ended up getting the most wholesome sentiment ever, thanks richard!
Richard, from a licensed associate to another. Thank you for your content. Its awesome
Please keep making these videos! Aside from being hilarious, they do a good job of exposing scammers trying to take desperate people's money
as someone who doesn't make 400k a year, I approve of this message.
I don't think I have made 400k period
You are not a real man...of course, I guess that applies to me as well😢
as someone with an monthly equvalent of over 400k per month, I can approve this message.
Richard was far too generous about 10X returns with crypto. Not only does the investor have to choose 3 investments that return 10X, they must invest 100% of their assets into EACH investment.
I've been in the markets since 1998 and have been fortunate enough to have multiple 10X (and larger) returns over the years, but the idea of throwing every cent I have after each investment is overwhelmingly nauseating.
Investing is NOT gambling. Risk management is ALWAYS priority #1.
FANTASTIC video! 😀👍
And unlike with regular investing (where you can do your research first) you have to invest so early that you have no way to predict if a specific shitcoin will get rug pulled/pumped and dumped.
Also…. Liquidity…yes these crypto coins 10x all the time. But only $50,000 trading volume.
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SIDE EYE THE CAMERA AS YOU LOOK UP THE STOCK SDŞLFKSŞDFK
Great video! Please keep making these, as it is an entertaining way to inform young people about the types of red flags to look out for in order to spot scams in the wild.
richard I must say that your comedic timing in this video is absolutely astounding, had me loling everytime!😂
Thanks for the input, Agent Bagel! Seriously, though, I always find myself checking your viewpoint on topics last to help make sense of complicated issues. Thank you for that.
'well at least he has his confidence' that was priceless
Thank you. In a sea of anxiety inducing bulls**t, this kind of video is a huge relief and extremely satisfying to hear. A breath of fresh air. Thanks again.
Love this! Waiting for part 6,7, 8, 9 and 10.
I almost choked on my dinner around 14:00 Richard " no you don't".
Please please please do another video especially a funny one with Patrick Boyle!
In Australia most dividends are paid Annually, Not monthly
Just so it's said, the reason you should under no circumstances trust ChatGPT with any kind of trading is because it's an AI for talking.
It talks well. That's nice, that's impressive, but that's the one thing it does exceptionally well.
It's guessing at trading strategies or just copying one it was trained on. It's currently stuck in 2021 so it's most recent data says we're in a low interest, low inflation bull market.
Large Language Models will bullshit you with unimaginable confidence about things that are easy to disprove. The more open to interpretation an answer is, the more likely you are to get royally screwed
I could watch a lot of that kind of videos from you! Thank you that you are on youtube!
Thank you Mr. Bagel, but your advice is for people interested in earning money and I'm more interested in losing it 💎🤲
Oh my bad, carry on
Buy high, sell low
@@steamedbryce Easier said than done, buying the surge only works 50% of the time
@@steamedbryce ** Butt high, sell low. I'm gay.
I’ve found that the easiest way to lose all your money is to become heavily addicted cocaine and alcohol
1:17 Your excitement permeates the room!
Even professional ER people are just making informed guesses, and those guys grinded their ass off (or nepotism'd in) to their position, there's ultimately no way to predict the buying and selling behaviors of the entire market.
It is a gambling market and everyone uses confirmation biased
It’s that dry delivery that keeps me coming back😂. Your the best bagel!!
The reason I like dividends is that I feel the point of owning a company is to get paid by it without sacrificing ownership.
Agreed! It feels very much like you truly own part of a productive business, much more than just owing shares that fluctuate with the market.
I don’t really conceptually get the point of “owning” a part of a company if it never actually pays me. I still invest in index funds that include stocks that don’t pay dividends but I still don’t “get” it.
@@itsacorporatething Conceptually, you have a claim to a percentage of their value if they are to be liquidated or sold, and a claim to a percentage of their potential future distribution of wealth to owners. More concretely, if the company has one million dollars on a bank account and you own 1% of the company, then conceptually you own among other things 10,000 dollars of that 1 million.
However, I agree things can get more complicated for example when you add that the company might not get sold or liquidated or distribute wealth to owners for the next 10 or 20 years. So you can argue that a share in such a company is in some sense worthless, because no money will actually come out of it and back to you. The only reason why it is worth anything is that other people is willing to pay you for the share, which is pure speculation and 'greater fool'-gambling :)
If you get 10$ of dividend, your company devalues in the same proportion (your share is worth 10$ less). Dividends are irrelevant. AND you pay tax on that
Great video! You had some arguments I hadn’t thought about that make the case against these wild TikTok claims even stronger. Thank you!
These kids' heads will blow when they discover casinos
Another gem! Thanks for bringing sound responses to these claims.
At 9:30 LITERALLY, the funniest 35 seconds EVER on financial youtube 🤣🤣🤣
These are great! Love your content!
9:22 This entire TikTok and Richard's reaction had me absolutely DYING! SO FUNNY!!
This video is so wholesome
I like watching him try to process such advanced stupidity, no anger, just confusion
To be fair it is hard to live on $400k a year when i have to pay property taxes on my multi million dollar house. Not to mention the insane insurance and maintenance on my 2 ferraris. I literally couldnt even add an addition to my house this year. Plus utilities are up! Can you imagine what i have to pay to heat a 20000 square foot house! I barely have enough to pay my team of maids, gardeners and pool boys. Just ridiculous.
2% A DAY? I would be happy with 2% A MONTH. I got a bank paying me 1.8% A YEAR as I'm watching interest rates go thru the roof.
Interest rates are high right now. You should be able to get better return, should look at other banks savings accounts.
GD I love your approach. Thank you for continuing to keep me grounded!
“If you fail it’s because you weren’t disciplined enough.” The girl is literally telling people to nuke their accounts and HODL 😂😂😂
15:47 The positivity I honestly needed to hear.
Mad respect to our man Richard his TikTok for you page must be complete and utter dog shit at this point
Amazing video as always, love this series
8:04 no, it's not that common to multiply by 10 your money in cryptos, it happen sometime but only the first holders of those cryptos will multiply by 10 or more the amount of money they have invested, the others will not
In the long run, most if not all, cryptos will go to 0. Because it is largely useless and massively overvalued "industry". Also 9/10 are straight up scams.
5:29 As a person who knows something about coding: No, chat gpt won’t build an entire app for you. For real guys, it’s really just an autocomplete on stereoids.
Me watching this: Furiously moves all my money into S&P Index Funds.
I do admire the composure you keep while hearing all those bullshit from crappy people who should NOT be given any permission to talk about such relevant and delicate topics. What I also appreciate of you is your honesty: there's no shortcut to make easy money, but to have control over your spending habits, and rely on a professional who actually knows what they're doing.
Keep the good work up!
I started with $1,000 10 years ago and with a 2% daily return I've managed to accumulate over $500 billion thanks to these Tik Toks
I did the same but with the right math, so I now have about 47 billion times the global GDP.
@@TR0LLREIGN I think youtube crowd doesn't deserve you
Great vid. Thanks for taking the time.
I appreciate your nod to salary not equaling happiness as well as the Plain Bagel breakdown of the FOMO hype others profit from spreading. (see what I did there?)
Love your content, very nice, highly intelligent information thank you
You were under the impression that that trading bot was based on AI, but it was regular script written by AI. The bot itself was quite unsophisticated
Loved the blunt responses. Make another one.
Way to save the most ridiculous TikTok for last. You’re a failure for not making $400,000 a year? He doesn’t know how you can live on $35,000 a month? I don’t get how people can even say stuff like that with a straight face.
I mean, he doesn't need to believe any of that. He just wants to make you feel insecure so that you'll buy whatever scheme he's shilling.
Making 35k a *year* would be me more than doubling my income. I can't imagine what it would be like to make that in a month
Well when that's all mommy and daddy left for you in the trust. And your mean trustee will only let you have that 35k a month. I would be mad too.
Your comment on the 2 year compound investment strategy. Why I don’t hit the “Join” button. Why I don’t discord. Why I don’t watch anyone who sells a course.
I have actually created a bot with chat gpt via python, but its not how UA-cam channels make it look like, you gotta specify all the necessary parameters and it'll provide a code (you manually have to resolve the errors from it tho), but the code bot will be completely based on your strategy, the AI is not gonna make yourself any money by itself.
Your face says it all to each of these! Its so horrible that people are basically being scamming like this still. I always love your editing, its peak passive sarcasm :p
I'm embarrassed too because I don't make $400 thousand a year. I need those fake guru courses please.
"Don't ever feel embarrassed about how much money you make". I've just been checking your videos out a bit the past coupla days and this bit just earned you a subscriber. I really appreciate you saying this for all to hear
10x returns equals one hell of a tax bill
If you're making 10x returns, the tax bill isn't even a problem.
I would accept 8x after tax returns, but I'm a modest man who doesn't need much to be happy.
If you had a mythical repeatable 10X strategy, you could do it in a retirement account, even if you don't have a single penny in there. 😀
To be fair, I don't think anyone turning 1k into 1,000,000 would care lmfao
It just occurs to me that the salary of the US president is $400,000 a year. Fortunately, getting free room, board , and travel expense helps stretch out those $35,000 a month paychecks.
You can tell how credible a TikToker is by whether they can keep their lip sync (the speaking audio matches their mouth) going for at least 30 seconds, and it's kinda nuts how many of them can't accomplish that. Pretty much every UA-camr I've ever watched has that down pat, often for an hour long video, so yeah, guess how much effort that guy has put into his work, and how useful his advice is to you.

Nice video as usual. It is cool that you add some further explaination aside their strategies to make it educational for us.
Be safe out there too! :)
