Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding.
The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise.
"White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities.
These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity.
"White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place.
"White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people.
"White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it.
"White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it.
Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.
Qullamaggie's opening range highs / opening range break concept was dervied from fund manager Toby Crabel.
Qullamaggie talked about him in a stream once - "I got opening range highs concept from this fund manager who made a billion dollars just trading opening range highs. Toby Crabel I think was his name."
Pradeep Bonde / Stockbee, Qullamaggie's mentor also has multiple tweets and threads on Crabel.
Crabel's book "Day Trading With Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout" sells for multiple $100s, sometimes thousands online in used and new conditions. One of the most expensive trading books out there for good reason.
Here are a few great takeaways from his work:
"A cumulative total of Gross Profits for the contraction patterns vs. expansion patterns on trades in the direction of the move off the open showed $710,000 for contractions on 7,313 trades and $102,000 for expansions on 7,524 trades. Profits were 7x larger for ORB trades after contractions than expansions." - Crabel
"In general the earlier in the session the entry is taken the better the chance for success. In fact, the ideal is an entry within the first ten minutes of the session. In that case an immediate continuation in the direction of the breakout is likely." - Crabel
"The Contraction/Expansion Principle states that the market is constantly changing from a period of movement to a period of rest and back to a period of movement. This interchange between the phases of motion and rest is constantly taking place.” - Crabel
In summary, data backs that breakouts and range expansions follow periods of low volatility.
The earlier we can take our trades the greater the probabilities, the lower the risk and thus greater the profits.
And the market continuously operates on the backbone of this compression into expansion principle.
Allowing us as traders to net profits by trading out of tight patterns, preferably on stocks with a reason to go up - whether it be fundamentals, a theme or story, or a news catalyst.
And utilizing opening range highs on gap ups for example to have tight stops and big winners that negate losers and leave us with net R (profits).
ON THIS DATE IN 1983: The Iron Bowl was played at Legion Field on December 3, 1983; Ray Perkins first Iron Bowl after succeeding Coach Bear Bryant. The game started in beautiful warm sunshine after a stormy night of very heavy rains that caused severe flooding in the Birmingham area. 9.22 inches of rain fell at the National Weather Service Forecast Office, which was on Oxmoor Road at the time.
In the second half, a line of severe thunderstorms was approaching western Jefferson County and a tornado warning was issued. The radar at Centreville showed a well defined hook echo heading directly toward the stadium.
The game was not stopped. By ten minutes to go in the game, the rain was coming down in torrents as Auburn tried to control the ball and win the game in the horrible conditions as they clung to a 23-20 lead. The rain began to fall so heavily that you could barely see the field on the cameras.
Fortunately, the storm did not produce a tornado in western Birmingham, or the results would have been catastrophic. But later, the same storm dropped an F3 tornado that heavily damaged the Winn Dixie store and Sky City at Oxford's Blue Pond Shopping Center, killing two people. A total of seven tornadoes touched down across the state that afternoon and evening.
Auburn went on to win the game 23-20; Bo Jackson gained 256 yards rushing.

When he won his Nobel prize, Al Gore said the Arctic summer may be ice-free by 2014.
Later he said it was LIKELY by 2016.
Those dates came and went. There's still LOTS of ice.
Turns out alarmists' predictions are alarmist.
But they grab headlines.
