Youtube online news: News on Youtube Nov 6 2018

are you trying to build the business online but find yourself feeling

overwhelmed or stuck you really can't figure out what actions to take what

steps to take or maybe you've been doing it for a while but you're just not

seeing results and you kind of feel a loss well stay tuned because in this

video I'm gonna give you some helpful tips that I learned from my entrepreneur

journey to really help you get past that overwhelming feeling of I don't know

what to do and that's coming up right now

what's going on guys my name is Gabe Ekemezie and I'm your internet marketing

guy and welcome to my channel on my channel I talked everything

entrepreneurship and I helped you build a business and brand that you are proud

of so that you can live the life that you deserve so this is your very first

time on my channel feel free to subscribe and help the channel grow I

really appreciate the support and today I really want to talk about how to get

over this feeling of not really knowing what to do or feeling overwhelmed you

know where you want to go you see other people there and you just can't seem to

figure out the steps to get to that point so as an entrepreneur especially

if you're just getting started this is a very common thing to have so don't beat

yourself up about it it happens to the best of us it happened to me too when I

first got started I was a student back then and I realized you know I want to

start you know making some extra money on the side and I think doing something

online would be the best way to do that so I started researching started looking

up different things I saw other people doing it but as I started going deeper

and deeper into it I started getting overwhelmed and realizing wow there's a

lot of things to do that I don't even know what to do like where do I even

start I don't even know how to sell anything

like what do I do and that's one thing I really want to address first it's this

thing called information overload and I'm sure you heard of it if you've been

in any of the space for any amount of time but if you haven't information

overload is basically when you overload your mind with all the stuff that you

think you need to do in order to accomplish what you want to accomplish

and this is a really dangerous place to be and it's not your fault that you end

up even being in the situation actually it's the school systems that really do

this to us let me give you an example when we're in

school we learned that we have to study hard so that we can do good and test the

point is to learn as much information as we can perfect that knowledge so that on

the test we make less mistakes as mistakes equals better grades better

grades equals opportunities praise the whole nine yards and so when we take

that mentality and we bring it into real life when we bring it into building a

business or being entrepreneur that doesn't really work because you can't

really learn everything to be able to ace the test of entrepreneurship doesn't

really work like that in fact the way that you learn in entrepreneurship and

in business is to just do it is to just get started which is my first tip to you

guys you just got to get started on something because you're not gonna be

able to develop learn what you need to learn and

provides and change things that are not working if you don't have anything to

work with it's kind of like trying to renovate a house when you don't have a

house to begin with that makes no sense gotta build the house first and then you

realize you know I really like the way the kitchen looks and then you renovate

you remodel and you change things up same thing applies to starting an online

business you just got to start somewhere so don't let the overwhelm of looking at

the grand scale picture of things confuse you and really hold you back

from starting something and there's another great example you could be the

world's expert in knowing how to ride a bike I mean I'm talking you got the PhD

and riding a bike you've studied by ecology and the study of pedal ology or

whatever you know you get what I'm saying right you know all the theory

everything in terms of knowledge when it comes to riding a bike you can study

this for 30 40 50 years but until you get on an actual bike sit down and try

and write it you'll never actually know how to ride a bike in fact even with all

those years of experience and knowledge I promise you the first time you got on

a bike you're gonna fall it's just gonna happen you're gonna fall again and again

and again it's not until you actually learn the mechanics of riding a bike and

you actually get the the muscle memory of riding a bike and then that's when

the knowledge that you know as well as the implementation and the experience

that you get from riding the bike come together and then you can ride that bike

same thing applies for building a business you can sit and try and figure

out everything but that doesn't matter even if you did know everything it's not

going to really help you unless you pick something and implement first it's the

implementation along with the information that's gonna help you

actually get clarity on where you want to go my second tip I have for you is

pick one direction there are many different places you can go do I start a

YouTube channel do I create a blog do I build an email list do I create a

product or sell are the people's products do I do affiliate marketing and

network marketing or e-commerce and drop shipping there's a lot of different ways

that you can make money online and there's a lot of different routes that

you can go so for you in order to clear up this whole feeling of overwhelm and

feeling stressed out about not knowing what to do you just need to pick one

thing and start with that one thing so when I first got started I saw people

had blogs and websites and all this kind of stuff and it was kind

confusing for me so then I realized I just have to pick one thing and stick

with that one thing so I started making videos and I suck at it it was terrible

I just kept going at it and I started putting my videos on YouTube but then

that's when I started building traction and then from there I started learning

okay I need a website now oh I need to create a capture page or a landing page

to get people onto my email list so I got to start emailing now and and you

know things just kind of sprout from there but I picked one thing I picked

one direction and I focused on that one direction so pick one direction and

focus on that first yes you can learn multiple things and nobody said that you

can't eventually do multiple things because obviously and clearly okay it

can be done but people learn multiple things well by learning one thing at a

time well and especially as a beginner you want to start learning one thing at

a time same thing goes for what kind of business do you want to build do you

want to do a philia marketing do you want to do network marketing do you want

to build your own products pick one that you resonate with most something that

you feel that would be a good mix for you and the more you do it the more

you'll learn and the more you'll know what you need to learn in order to

master that thing and make it work for you my third and final tip is seek

mentors now I know you've probably heard of this before but when I first got

started this confused me a little bit because I was like oh work I got a

mentor I'm let's do it in you know I don't know any famous people who let

alone any successful entrepreneurs you know how am I supposed to just walk up

to some old guy and ask them can you mentor me that's kind of weird I

realized that what you can do is you can follow mentors okay and what I mean by

this is you can have digital mentors follow people that inspire you follow

people who've gone through what you're going through and who can give you some

guidance based off of their life experience and it doesn't matter whether

they're currently here or you know passed on for example Jim Rohn was one

of my first mentors and he was an amazing mentor to me his content is

still on YouTube he still has courses and seminars that I started to dive and

deep with and learn as much as I can he really helped change my perspective he

helped me with my personal development he owe me get the mindset of being an

entrepreneur down first and built that foundation for me the list goes on and

on and on of mentors that you can follow so find people that do what

do and follow them and emulate them in whatever space that you're doing whether

it's entrepreneurship whether it's a brand whether you're trying to be a

youtuber whatever it is follow those people and learn from them okay but

don't get stuck and just watching their lives this could also be a problem okay

watch what they do learn from them but then also turn back and implement and

take action in your own life focus on what you can be doing in your

circumstances in your situation to help you move the needle forward other great

mentors can be found in books in audiobooks which is my personal favorite

websites social media accounts whatever you can find even if you can go to

seminars that's great too so fine mentors out mentors help cut your

learning curve and have to help you save you a lot of heartache a lot of time and

really serve as some inspiration and motivation to get you to where you want

to go alright guys so I hope this video helps if you're feeling stuff if you're

feeling overwhelmed if you're not really sure what action steps to take remember

guys that it's okay to feel that way especially if you're just getting

started focus on that one thing and take action on that one thing consistently

when you do that the doors seem to open up and you really start to figure out

what the next step is for you if you liked this video give it a thumbs up

How much should I charge for my work? - Duration: 5:31.

well hello my friends I hope you're doing well I hope you had a fantastic

weekend back to work the best day of the week it is gonna be a super busy week

but you know what I realized that I forgot completely to talk about so over

the last month a bunch of you have very kindly commented that you like a lot of

the music I've been using recently in my vlogs and where do I get it and I

created an intro all about this in like 10 different vlogs over the last month

and then at the end of those days I'd ended up not vlogging and I doing some

other video and I completely forgot that I never actually even told you the

exciting news I don't think unless I just forget the vlog all the music so my

youtube channel comes from music bed and I am proudly a music bed ambassador they

asked me to be a part of the program about a month or so ago before they

introduced their membership program and it has just been unbelievable I've

always thought the music bed has by far the best music selection but like a lot

of you obviously can get expensive if you're paying $50 or $100 a song to use

it so a lot of us go to other sources they have an awesome new membership

program for youtubers for filmmakers for wedding filmmakers a little bit of

everything where you pay one price to get all the music you want to use it's

been amazing for me I've been able to really utilize the catalog loving the

music in there as they always have but now having a one price fits all it is

just the best so yeah there's a link down below you can sign up for and learn

more about their membership I really think you'll love it no matter what type

of films you produce whether it's for YouTube or your business great selection

by far the best thanks for having me a part of this family music bed

sorry completely forgot to talk about it so I got a phone call recently from a

new potential client that was asking about rates and asking about our pricing

for things obviously that is usually the most important thing to most people and

a question that a lot of you ask so often is how do I properly price my work

how do i price my weddings how do i price commercial work how do i price the

random video for the coffee shop down the road and here's kind of the way that

I do pricing I don't know yet if it's actually the way that I want to continue

with or not but here's the way I look at it in my head I have a set amount of

money that I want to make per day when I'm doing work whether that's editing

whether it's shooting whether it's instructions whether it's education

whatever it is I have a set amount of money that I want to make on a per day

basis for the sake of this video and making it really

simple let's just say that rate on a per day basis is $10 so if I wanted to make

$10 for the entire day and someone approaches me about a video project I

think about the project and I think about what kind of work is going to go

into that project from start to finish pre-production shooting editing

revisions whatever it is I think about that total overall price and I take my

ten dollars and I times it by the amount of hours that I think I need to actually

make it happen so let's just say someone approaches me about a video project and

I know that it's gonna be about a half day to shoot it and only maybe two to

three hours to edit it totaling let's just say one whole day of

work well then I'll price it $10 accordingly because I just know that

that's how long it'll take me if I know the project we'll take two times that

length well then I would charge $20 for the whole project if I know that it

would only be a half day project top to bottom let's say it was just super

simple in-and-out talking-head no sort of fancy editing and I knew I could do

it in that amount of time so let's just say it was only gonna be half the day

and it only was gonna take me five hours to do everything top to bottom then

maybe I'd only charge $5 for the work you see what I'm saying I basically

think about my day as worth X amount of dollars and then I priced accordingly

for it so I don't really charge more for the size of the company or the scope of

the project I charge more just because of the hours

will take more and it makes it easier for me to calculate and figure out what

kind of work is involved in something I found it really hard when I started in

video production to try to find like what do i price myself at how much

should I charge for like a basic video or an advanced video or how do I even

know what to price and I think that this is a good strategy if you're starting

out I am fairly new into commercial production so I'm still really figuring

out like what what I really want to charge do I want to charge on an hourly

basis or a day rate or a multi day rate I'm liking the day rate and then kind of

dividing it by the amount of time it takes because it makes it easy for me to

just kind of process and think about how much time and how much money needs to go

into it this approach also feels like it works good to me in the manner that as I

want to raise prices or as I want to grow my business and charge more all I

have to in my head do is just charge what I want to make on a per day basis

and then just continue this same strategy instead of just figuring out

okay I used to charge two thousand dollars for this type of video now I'm

going to charge three or I used to charge five for this I'm going to charge

ten I can just say I used to charge ten dollars a day now I want to charge a

hundred dollars a day and I just do the same multiplication in the midst of that

if that makes sense so will I price things like this forever no but I feel

like it's a good strategy when you're starting out and then in terms of what

you want your day rate to be really just depends on you how much do you want to

make for any type of work that you do and just divide it and make that happen

accordingly for that there's no set amount that you have to charge you just

have to be able to give accurate quotes and accurate rates and then decide if

that's worth it for you and when you get that down and then you figure out what

your actual rhythm is well then it just makes sense to actually just price it

that way so hopefully I was helpful to you if you have any questions of what

that all meant just let me know but I think I'm supposed to record a podcast

with someone right now so let's do that

IBM Bought Red Hat for How Much?!? - Duration: 20:51.

Mac Greer: It's Monday, October 29th. Welcome to Market Foolery! I'm Mac Greer, and joining

me in studio, we have Motley Fool analysts, Emily Flippen and Jason Moser. Welcome!

How are we feeling? Emily Flippen: Feeling alright!

Greer: That did not sound very enthusiastic. You have to pump it up!

Jason Moser: I feel good! Greer: There you go!

Flippen: Mondays. Greer: We have a big deal to talk about that

we're going to get to. We're going to talk some Amazon and Twitter because we didn't

really get to talk about Amazon's earnings or Twitter's earnings last week.

Moser: It was an abbreviated week. You guys were out there in Denver, partying, having fun.

Greer: That's right. We had a great member

of in Denver, but it means that we didn't get to talk about some of the big stories

from last week. We're going to begin with a big story this week.

IBM making a big deal. On Sunday, IBM agreeing to buy Red Hat for $33 billion or

$190 in cash per share. That's a 63% premium to where Red Hat closed on Friday.

That sounds like a lot, right?

Flippen: It is. Moser: It sounds like a lot.

Greer: Not bad. IBM CEO Ginni Rometty says

the deal is all about, "resetting the cloud landscape." Emily, I want to get into that

here in a minute. The press release announcing the deal describes Red Hat as "the world's

leading provider of open source cloud software." When you look at the deal, shares of Red Hat

up around 47% today. IBM, down a little. A good deal for IBM?

Flippen: I think it's a necessary deal for IBM. It's an interesting deal for Red Hat.

For a little fun fact, this is actually the third largest deal in the U.S. history for tech.

Greer: That's kind of fun.

Flippen: It's a fun fact. That is to say that, you'll notice that Red Hat shares are not

exactly at that $190 price. That's attributable to the fact that this will need regulatory

and shareholder approval before it moves forward. I would expect that to happen.

It's an exciting deal for IBM. IBM has been posting really stagnant growth over the past

few years. They needed to do something. They were losing out horribly to competitors like

Amazon and Microsoft in this space. This acquisition for them is an attempt to control every part

of the cloud ecosystem for an enterprise. If you're an enterprise, and you have a lot

of physical assets, in terms of traditional information storage, and you're looking to

move towards a cloud environment, what they do is, they have an inter-between phase where

you're operating in a hybrid cloud environment. This deal is going to allow IBM to get in on the

hybrid cloud environment space and help companies transition to that cloud environment.

They're using Red Hat to do that. Moser: I think she hit the nail on the head there.

It was a necessary deal for IBM. We've been talking about IBM sort of just sitting

there doing nothing over the past decade, more or less, as every other tech company

we discus seems to be flying right past it. Typically, with big tech companies like this,

that are a little bit more based on legacy success, you have to go in there and make

a big deal like this. That's why it's such a premium, I think. IBM really wants this.

They don't want Red Hat to go shopping around and see if someone wants to up the ante a

little bit. So, they're paying a very heavy premium today.

It more than likely goes through. Perhaps there's some scrutiny there. But when I looked

at the two companies, I think this really tells you everything you need to know.

When you look at the companies, you note the disparity in the research and development line item

on their income statements. If you look at R&D as a percentage of revenue, for Red Hat,

it's about 20%. They're plowing a lot of the money they make back into the business because

they need to keep relevant and keep advancing. IBM's around 7%, and they're basically doing

that just to tread water. And that's what they've been doing for a long time now.

To see them make a big deal like this isn't surprising. I think Red Hat's a good business.

The fundamentals are sound. Whether IBM actually does anything really good with it remains to be seen.

Greer: When you look at IBM the stock,

it hasn't even been treading water. You look over the last five years. Emily, we were talking

about this before the show. Shares are down. You have lost money on IBM over the last five years.

That's pretty tough to do in this market. Moser: Yeah, it had the reputation for the

longest time of, if you couldn't really figure out what kind of market it was and how you

should be investing, you could always just buy shares of IBM and no one would hold that

against you because of its standing in the tech space. But obviously, tech has changed

so much in just the recent years, and IBM hasn't really been spearheading that change.

Greer: I want to talk more about this idea of resetting the cloud landscape. IBM's CEO

says that big companies have moved around 20% of their work to the cloud. Let's just

take that as our starting point. That leaves around 80% that all of these different companies

are competing for. IBM and Red Hat can go after that 80%. But we've got a few competitors.

Let's just review some of the names in that space. Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet.

Flippen: What's interesting about Red Hat is they are focused on open-sourced platforms.

When a person goes out uses Red Hat as a provider,

they're not actually buying any type of material software.

All the code is already out there. If they wanted that, they could quite literally

go onto GitHub and copy and paste it. What they're doing is, they're buying Red Hat support

-- the technology, the expertise that's needed to implement that. It's going to be really

interesting to see how they compete. You'll notice that a lot of their competitors actually

use Red Hat. What IBM is trying to do is saying,

"Hey, we're not going to be the big cloud provider that is Amazon Web Services. But, we can at

least be the system which Amazon Web Services is operating on." Red Hat's most widely-subscribed

product is Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It's the operating system that all this technology

is running on. What they're trying to do is get in on the base level of that and try to

be a player in the space without necessarily directly competing.

We mentioned earlier the culture around IBM, how it's been a slow growth company, not doing

much in this space. I think that's where the controversy for this deal comes from. A lot

of people see Red Hat as an innovator, completely open-source. Any company that can make

$2 billion selling something that's free is a good company in my book.

Moser: [laughs] That's a good point! Flippen: So, the opportunity there for a cultural

disillusion, as this company that's been such an innovator, that's been open-source, moves

to this conglomerate, this large, slow tech company, it could be a hard pill to swallow

for some employees. But IBM definitely needs the growth.

Greer: The old culture clash. We've heard that story before. I think back to AOL and Time Warner.

We will see how the deal shakes out.

Let's talk about one of those competitors. On Friday, shares of Amazon had their worst

day in four years, down around 8%. Concerns over slowing growth in the wake up their earnings, Jason.

Shares not doing much today. We should add that Amazon is still up around 40% for

the year. Perspective is an order. But, what do you make of Amazon?

Moser: Every quarter, when we talk about Amazon earnings, for many of us, the first thing

we look to is top line growth. It's less about earnings. We know that typically,

they're going to be reinvesting a lot of that money into the business and fulfillment and cloud infrastructure.

It's more about top line, less about bottom line.

Taking that into consideration, it makes sense that the market was at least a little bit

concerned here. Top line growth was a little bit lighter, perhaps, than what the market

was expecting. I think really, the selling is more from the guidance for the holiday quarter.

It's difficult for Amazon to go in there and offer a tight window of where they

see that top line going. They even made the point in the call that really, most of their

money in this holiday quarter is made from this tiny window between the middle of November

towards the end of the year, and it's just difficult to predict. They offered a range.

That range didn't quite meet up with what the market was hoping for, and you get the sell off.

But it's not to sit there and think,

"This is a business in trouble." Clearly, it's not. But it's a business that does a lot of different things.

I think one point worth noting is that when you look at the actual retail business,

third-party sales now represent 53% of total units sold on the platform. What that means

is that Amazon is bringing outside partners in and using their commerce platform to sell

their stuff. It's terrific. It's very profitable, but it does play out on the top line number

a little bit. Taking everything into consideration here,

I think they're doing a lot of great things. Amazon Web Services continues to grow.

It's now a $26 billion run rate. That was $18 billion a year ago. So, let's not get too worked up.

I'm going to hang on to my shares for now. Greer: OK, deep breath. I'll keep my shares,

as well. Emily, what do you think? Flippen: I totally agree. I think the high

margin business, which is the Amazon Web Services, is really going to be the main growth driver

for Amazon, along with initiatives that the company probably hasn't even thought about yet.

This is a blip on the radar. I will just add, though, that I think

a lot of concern is coming from the growth of Prime subscribers, and the question of whether or

not the market has been tapped out for people who are going to pay a premium of $119 a year

for a Prime subscription, especially when you have a lot of people who have one account

per family. Is the growth there really maxed out? And did they achieve the Prime customer

growth that they were hoping to when they acquired Whole Foods, and started doing the

discounts for Amazon Prime members at Whole Foods? Was that a better deal for Whole Foods

than it was for Amazon Prime? I think that's to be determined. Either way, I think it's

going to be concerning for a lot of people, seeing the growth of Prime subscribers starting

to slow down as the market begins to get tapped out.

Moser: We're faced with the conundrum of Prime or Costco, Mac. Which way do you go?

Greer: Oh, my gosh! Moser: Is it one or the other?

Greer: That's Sophie's Choice. That's a totally offensive analogy and I apologize, but I never

want to be left with that. I would probably choose Amazon over Costco, if I had to say that

and please do not repeat that to Jim Sinegal. But I don't have to. I don't have to.

This morning, we ordered something on Amazon, and it's coming later today. My question is,

do they have a distribution center in our front yard now? I mean, how?! That's voodoo magic.

I don't understand it. Moser: The past couple of years,

they've spent a little bit more on fulfillment than they had historically. They have made the point

here that this holiday season, they're going to be spending a little bit less,

because they've spent so much in the preceding couple of years. That could play out on the bottom line

favorably for them. Whether it does or not, I don't know that it really matters.

But it's worth noting. They continue to invest a lot in fulfillment.

Bottom line is, much like Costco, Amazon is looking to provide low prices and awesome

customer service. There was a quote on the call. For me, this was the best quote of the call,

and it's the best quote I've heard from them in some time. It came from Dave Fildes,

the director of investor relations. He said, "It's easy lower prices, but it's much harder

to be able to afford to lower prices." That, to me, tells you everything you need to know.

That really, I think, is the crux of the competitive advantage. Anybody can lower prices,

but can you afford to do it? And for a while, it didn't look like Amazon really could, until they could.

Greer: That makes a lot of sense. I'm thinking

back to your question again, and I don't like my answer, so I'm going to modify it and say

that I don't want to give up Amazon or Costco. Costco has the treasure hunt. Amazon will never,

in my humble opinion, be able to replicate that treasure hunt mentality. That's a wonderful thing.

And, they don't have the free samples. You're not getting free samples on Amazon.

Moser: It's a fair statement! Greer: OK, so, lay off Costco. Let's wrap up

by talking Twitter. Jason, I know this is a company near -- I'm not sure it's

dear to your heart, but I think it is near to your heart. I want to talk about the changing narrative.

It seems like the narrative is changing a bit. Last Thursday, Twitter reported better

than expected earnings. Shares up around 20% since they reported earnings.

I use Twitter. I like the service, but I had kind of written off the business.

Should I give it a second look? Moser: A second look... I'm going to get back

to that. I'm not terribly convicted one way or the other there. It's funny to see that

what has been held against the business for so long has now become more or less a passing concern.

What I mean by that is the monthly user growth. For the longest time, the question was,

how big can they grow that user base, they need to grow that user base as big as

you can so you can monetize it. I think we've hit the point, as investors,

you need to look at this and say, "Twitter's basically maxed out its user base."

It's not going to get much bigger than it already is. It's somewhere around 326 million monthly

active users. That was 335 million a year ago. From 335 to 326, and that's going to

go lower this coming quarter, as well, they've already guided. The market buying the stock

was a little bit odd, but I think it makes some sense. What we're seeing now is,

at least they've proven there is a business there. To put some numbers around that, if you look

at the trailing 12 months, Twitter actually has an E to go in the price to earnings ratio.

The P/E ratio is not very helpful if there's no E.

Greer: The E has arrived! Moser: For the longest time, there was no E!

But over the trailing 12 months, they've recorded $0.47 in earnings per share.

Real GAAP profitability there. That makes a difference. I'm not sitting here telling you the stock

is dirt cheap, but at least we know there's a business there. I think that's where investors

can start to say, "Maybe there's a way to leverage this platform." They're doing some

good things on the video side. Advertisers are saying good things. They're realizing

some return there. It's proven itself to be pretty resilient as a platform for the purpose

that it serves. I think there's a lot of trouble that still

comes with a lot of these social networks, and we're seeing a lot of the downside of

this so-called connected world. But it's good to see them changing the discussion a little bit, for sure.

Greer: Emily, what do you think of Twitter?

Flippen: Since I'm not a Twitter shareholder and I'm not a Twitter user, I would just say

to the extent that it plays into my life, Twitter could have posted earnings of $100

per share and it probably wouldn't have changed the needle for me at all. Social networking

sites are, in my opinion, very faddy. To me, it's hard to predict where a market goes in

that direction, monetizing what I consider to be a relative fad.

Greer: Jason, how about one person I should follow on Twitter? I don't want anything political.

I get enough politics. Just someone I should follow on Twitter, whether it's going to make

me smarter or happier or it's just going to be worth following. Present company excluded.

Moser: This is going to hurt, Mac, but given the results of this past weekend, I think

you need to give the Boston Red Sox a follow. Greer: Oh, you had to mention that?

Moser: I mean, they ran one hell of a feed all year long. It was the dream season.

Greer: They crushed my beloved Astros. Moser: It'll bring a smile to your face.

At least you'll say, "You know what? I was pulling for the Astros, but these guys keep me smiling."

I think that's what you'll say. Greer: You need to enjoy your one-year run,

because a year from now, it's going to be the Astros' return to greatness. I feel it.

Which means the Red Sox will win again, because I predicted the Astros would sweep the Red Sox.

Moser: It was a pretty phenomenal year for them, for sure.

Greer: Incredible, incredible year!

Great players! It's an easy team to like, and I say that as an Astros fan. The Red Sox are

an easy team to like. Moser: No Manny Machado's on that team.

Greer: Oh, God! For those of you not following the World Series, Manny Machado, here's what

you need to know. He's a great baseball player who, basically, hustling is not his thing.

There's a situation where he hits what he thinks, I guess, is a home run. It's not even

close to a home run, by the way. It bounces off the bottom of the wall. And he's walking

to first base. You have to do better. I don't care if you're a baseball player,

I don't care what you do in life, you have to hustle. You can't just show up, you have to hustle.

Moser: You have to put it out there, man!

Greer: Terrible!

Moser: In all seriousness, I hope you're following Industry Focus' Twitter feed, Mac.

That's a universe of information there that will benefit any investor. Any and all.

Greer: I'm not going to answer that question right now, but I think that sounds like a

good idea if I weren't already following it, which I may not be.

OK, desert island poll, let's end with that. Once again, you're on a desert island.

It's a totally unfair, never-invest-this-way, arbitrary question. I'm going to give you some stocks

and you need to tell me, if you're going to buy one of these stocks for the next five years --

I'm going to make this interesting. I'm going to throw in some of the competition

for IBM in the cloud space. We've got IBM, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon or Twitter.

Flippen: I'm torn, throwing those out there. I love Amazon's business model. I think over

the next five years, Amazon might have some struggles with their employee base. That problem

has been festering for a while. I also like Microsoft. I like Microsoft a lot. I think

they're doing a lot to compete in the cloud computer space, much better than a lot of

people predicted. So, I'm torn between those two, possibly leaning towards Microsoft.

But I will add that if IBM hadn't acquired Red Hat, if I was looking at Red Hat on Thursday

or Friday last week, like I was, I would easily pick Red Hat out of those two. I loved the

open-source nature of the company. Moser: Yeah, I think that's good. That's fundamentally

a very good business. I'm going to surprise you, I think I probably would actually go

with Microsoft. I think Alphabet is really going to be dealing with some privacy issues

in the coming years. That ad business is a difficult one to keep on knocking out of the park.

I tell you, Microsoft, Satya Nadella has done

a great job of turning this thing around, changing the discussion towards the cloud

services they offer, really growing that business out there. A tremendous cash machine.

And they'll keep raising the dividend, buying back shares, and staying relevant.

Greer: Thanks, and we will see how it shakes out. Jason, Emily, thanks for joining us!

Moser: Thank you! Flippen: Thank you!

Greer: I want to give a shout out to our listeners who I met in Denver. We had a great

listener meetup. We had a great member event. I've said this before, and this gets a little

a little hokey, so indulge me here for a minute. It is a joy and a privilege to do the show.

We know you have a lot of listening options. Jason and Emily, I know, sometimes we're in

this studio, and it's hard to really see how the show's being received. Then you talk to

people, and they're like, "I listen on my way to work!", "I listen when I walk the dog!"

And I'm like, "You do? You're the one?" I really, really appreciate all the conversations

I got to have with our listeners. Most of all, we appreciate our listeners giving us

their time, because that's an incredibly valuable thing. As always, we will try to hold up our

end of the bargain. I'll try to hold up my end of the bargain. And when I don't,

here's what I can tell you. There's a very good chance that Chris will be hosting the next day anyway,

so just move right along. Moser: Hang in there!

Greer: Hang in there! One day does not a show make. With that in mind, you can always e-mail

us at marketfoolery@fool.com with your questions and your comments. As always, people on

the show may have interest in the stocks they talk about, and The Motley Fool may have formal

recommendations for or against, so don't buy or sell stocks based solely on what you hear.

That's it for this edition of Market Foolery. The show is mixed by Dan Boyd. I'm Mac Greer.

Thanks for listening! We will see you tomorrow!

How far would you have to go to escape gravity? - Rene Laufer - Duration: 4:56.

More than six thousand light years

from the surface of the earth,

a rapidly spinning neutron star

called the Black Widow pulsar

blasts its companion brown dwarf star with radiation

as the two orbit each other every 9 hours.

Standing on our own planet,

you might think you're just an observer of this violent ballet.

But in fact, both stars are pulling you towards them.

And you're pulling back,

connected across trillions of kilometers

by gravity.

Gravity is the attractive force between two objects with mass—

any two objects with mass.

Which means that every object in the universe attracts every other object:

every star, black hole,

human being, smartphone, and atom

are all constantly pulling on each other.

So why don't we feel pulled in billions of different directions?

Two reasons: mass and distance.

The original equation describing the gravitational force between two objects

was written by Isaac Newton in 1687.

Scientists' understanding of gravity has evolved since then,

but Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

is still a good approximation in most situations.

It goes like this:

the gravitational force between two objects

is equal to the mass of one

times the mass of the other,

multiplied by a very small number

called the gravitational constant,

and divided by the distance between them, squared.

If you doubled the mass of one of the objects,

the force between them would double, too.

If the distance between them doubled,

the force would be one-fourth as strong.

The gravitational force between you and the Earth pulls you towards its center,

a force you experience as your weight.

Let's say this force is about 800 Newtons

when you're standing at sea level.

If you traveled to the Dead Sea,

the force would increase by a tiny fraction of a percent.

And if you climbed to the top of Mount Everest, the force would decrease—

but again, by a minuscule amount.

Traveling higher would make a bigger dent in gravity's influence,

but you won't escape it.

Gravity is generated by variations in the curvature of spacetime—

the three dimensions of space plus time—

which bend around any object that has mass.

Gravity from Earth reaches the International Space Station,

400 kilometers above the earth,

with almost its original intensity.

If the space station was stationary on top of a giant column,

you'd still experience ninety percent

of the gravitational force there that you do on the ground.

Astronauts just experience weightlessness

because the space station is constantly falling towards earth.

Fortunately, it's orbiting the planet fast enough that it never hits the ground.

By the time you made it to the surface of the moon,

around 400,000 kilometers away,

Earth's gravitational pull would be

less than 0.03 percent of what you feel on earth.

The only gravity you'd be aware of would be the moon's,

which is about one sixth as strong as the earth's.

Travel farther still

and Earth's gravitational pull on you will continue to decrease,

but never drop to zero.

Even safely tethered to the Earth,

we're subject to the faint tug of distant celestial bodies and nearby earthly ones.

The Sun exerts a force of about half a Newton on you.

If you're a few meters away from a smartphone, you'll experience

a mutual force of a few piconewtons.

That's about the same as the gravitational pull

between you and the Andromeda Galaxy,

which is 2.5 million light years away

but about a trillion times as massive as the sun.

But when it comes to escaping gravity,

there's a loophole.

If all the mass around us is pulling on us all the time,

how would Earth's gravity change

if you tunneled deep below the surface,

assuming you could do so without being cooked or crushed?

If you hollowed out the center of a perfectly spherical Earth—

which it isn't, but let's just say it were—

you'd experience an identical pull from all sides.

And you'd be suspended, weightless,

only encountering the tiny pulls from other celestial bodies.

So you could escape the Earth's gravity in such a thought experiment—

but only by heading straight into it.

How Much Sugar Do You Need? - Duration: 1:01.

Hi, Dr. Kent Ferguson here,

from Oliver Chiropractic Wellness Clinic.

How much sugar do you need?

The World Health Organization's recommendation

is that sugars ideally make up about 5%

to no more than 10% of a person's daily calories.

So what does that mean?

If you consider an average 2,000-calorie-a-day diet,

calories from sugar should make up about six teaspoons

to about 12 teaspoons per day.

Consider that a can of Sprite

has about 7 1/2 teaspoons of sugar

and a Big Mac Meal has about 10 grams of sugar alone.

The best sugars for you to consume

on a daily basis come from, guess what?

The produce section of the grocery store.

I'm Dr. Kent Ferguson.

How Much Time Has Passed on TWD? S09E05 Spoilers | Heavy.com - Duration: 2:51.

How Much Time Has Passed on TWD? S09E05 Spoilers | Heavy.com

On Season 9 Episode 5, the episode ends with a second time jump.

But this is much longer than the first time jump at the beginning of the season.

How long is the jump? This post has spoilers for the end of Episode 5 and the trailer for Episode 6. .

During Talking Dead after the show, Melissa McBride (who plays Carol), revealed that six years have passed during the second time jump.

Fans guessed it was this long, since Judith was significantly older after the time jump.

She was the only one we saw in the actual episode, and now she's as talented with a gun as her dad, maybe even more so.

And she's wearing Rick/Carl's hat.

In case you missed it, Judith is carrying a katana like her mom Michonne.

:) But I still wish we had Carl and could see him after a six-year time jump.

In the time jump, we saw that Carol has now let her hair grow long.

We also saw Daryl, Negan still in jail but without his beard, and a few other characters.

Melissa McBride didn't say much about her character after the time jump, only to mention that there are some hints involving "arrows" now.

So maybe she's now focusing on defending with a crossbow rather than a gun? Or was she hinting at a new relationship with Daryl? That's unclear.

But from the trailers, Daryl still appears to be very Daryl.

It will be interesting to see what happens next week, after a six-year time jump.

This is a developing story.
