Karim recounts a story of when he bought a penny stock without knowing much about risk management, only to watch it go to zero. He advises traders to always have access to charts and to use trend lines to identify when momentum has broken down. It's important to not become attached to any asset and take profits when possible. Stories may change, so continually look for chart-based evidence. Wait for a breakout before investing.

Gold and silver prices are indicating that the current recession may be bottoming out. Charts demonstrate past performance during recessions. Silver often bottoms out before a recession was formally declared. The Fed funds rate chart and total public debt suggests that there may still be room for a spike in initial jobless claims, implying that a bigger recession may be around the corner. Patrick makes the argument that fundamentals should be prioritized less and more time should be spent on the price of assets. Since that is what causes the markets to react.

Patrick shows several charts which demonstrate past correlations with recessions and the utility of heat maps in quickly determining market sector trends.
