COFFEE WITH MARKZ ( SPANISH ), 20 JULY

 "Café con MarkZ" Charla del jueves por la mañana 7-20-2023

Miembro: Buenos días maravillosos a todos ustedes, maravillosos miembros del equipo.
Integrante: Buenos días espero que hoy sea un día muy especial!!!
Miembro: El rumor es que el RV sucedería un jueves. Es jueves, así que puede continuar. Dios lo bendiga.
Miembro: Al igual que los niños en el asiento trasero en un viaje... ¿YA LLEGAMOS?
Miembro: ¿Cuál es la buena palabra para hoy?
MZ: Sigo escuchando rumores de que las ballenas tienen dinero. Tengo excelentes contactos con ballenas, fenomenales contactos con ballenas en Reno, Miami, Shanghái, Hong Kong y Zúrich. Y no puedo encontrar uno solo que tenga dólares gastables. Muchos de ellos hablan de tener dinero en sus cuentas pero no pueden llegar a eso. Está en espera.
MZ: Pero, ¿tienen muchas esperanzas de ver pronto un lanzamiento? Sí. Pero simplemente no lo han visto todavía.
MZ: Sigo escuchando que todo está listo y preparado y solo necesitan decidir cuándo apretar el gatillo.
Integrante: deben estar cansados ​​de mirar ese dinero no gastable del año pasado!!!
Miembro: ¡No creo que escuchemos que alguien tiene dinero para gastar hasta que todos nos hayamos ido!
Miembro: Un comienzo de escopeta. Es la única forma en que pueden evitar que la charla se les adelante.
MZ: De Irak: “EE.UU. prohíbe 14 bancos iraquíes en la represión del comercio de dólares de Irán” esto es realmente algo bueno. Estados Unidos está trabajando con el gobierno de Irak. y la CBI para asegurarse de que no haya fondos terroristas que vayan a donde no se supone que vayan. Esto es más en el esfuerzo de asegurarse de que todo esté en orden. El mundo necesita tener confianza en Irak y apoyar la tasa que ellos decidan para su moneda. Esta es otra señal del progreso que está logrando Irak. .
Miembro: (De Dinar Guru) Frank26 [Informe sobre el terreno en Irak] FIREFLY: Los amigos del banco dicen que la clave de todo lo que estamos buscando está dentro del petróleo y el gas porque todos sabemos aquí en Irak que cuando nos presenten la ley del petróleo y el gas será con una nueva tasa porque ¿cómo vas a decidir dividir lo que todos obtienen si no sabes cuál es la tasa? FRANK: La clave de todo está en esa HCL, que está en el presupuesto, que está esperando el nuevo tipo de cambio...
MZ: Hemos escuchado que la HCL es una gran pieza clave y están actuando como si ya lo hubieran hecho allí.
Miembro: ¿Sabemos si el rial está incluido en el RV?
MZ: No estamos seguros si irá al mismo tiempo que el dinar. Les gustaría. Irán se irá en algún momento… no hay duda.
MZ: “Venezuela fortalece lazos financieros con Rusia a través de conexiones interbancarias e integración de tarjetas Mir” Esto es más del mundo sorteando la hegemonía del dólar estadounidense y las sanciones que vienen de occidente en este momento. Ahora están configurados para usar el sistema Russian Mir y no el sistema Swift.
Miembro: ¿Alguna idea de cuántas personas en los EE. UU. tienen dinero para cambiar?
Miembro: No sé cómo alguien puede siquiera adivinar... muchos de nosotros hemos regalado dinero a amigos y familiares.
Miembro: El Dr. Young tenía una gran información. Vi su podcast el otro día. creo de. lo que dijo está todo hecho. solo estamos esperando el gatillo
Miembro: ¡XRP es el nuevo activo respaldado por oro de Nesara! Comercio digital en todo el mundo igual que en los 209 países registrados
Miembro: Acabo de leer sobre la república restaurada esta mañana Irak no puede RV hasta que en BRICS. Lo mismo con Vietnam.
Miembro: Así que tenemos, Goldie Locks, Militia Man, Wolverine, Nadar, Mark y muchos otros, todos diciéndonos algo diferente y contradiciéndose entre sí. Y la única constante es que patean la lata
Integrante: Yo creo que todos están informando lo que sus contactos les están diciendo. Depende de nosotros mantener la calma y esperar que algo de esto sea cierto.
Miembro: Tanto gurú conflictivo Intel. Sí flotar no flotar. RV o RI solo. Ahora tenemos que estar en BRICS o primero tiene que ocurrir una revalorización del metal.
Miembro: ¡El RV es como hacer Hokey Pokey en una boda con participantes intoxicados!
Miembro: ¿Cómo es que la gente de Irak no está formando disturbios? Les dijeron hace un mes que tendrían dinero nuevo en cajeros automáticos
Miembro: Si ve celebraciones en Irak y el Medio Oriente mañana, comprenda que el viernes es Hijri. Hijri es el Año Nuevo Islámico.
Miembro: Me temo que los poderes fácticos están desperdiciando el impulso. Es cierto que estaba mucho más entusiasmado con mis proyectos el año pasado. ¡Aprieta el gatillo, ya!
Miembro: Claro, es necesario que suceda algo real... algo que todos podamos ver... que realmente restauraría nuestra fe en el RV
Miembro: ¡Creo que estamos cansados ​​de la misma información todos los días que nos emociona y luego nunca sucede! ¡He estado haciendo esto desde 2006 y es difícil aceptar que me digan que está sucediendo durante años y no!
Miembro: Ruego que crucemos esta línea de meta antes de finales de julio…….
Miembro: Señor, concédenos la fuerza y ​​la sabiduría para superar estos tiempos.

"WILL IRAQ JOIN BRICS?" BY DINAR IRAQ & DONG VIETNAM UPDATE, 20 JULY

 WILL IRAQ JOIN BRICS?

Today, Monday (July 17, 2023), the Watcher Guru magazine, concerned with economic affairs, revealed “accelerated steps” by the BRICS economic alliance led by China and Russia to end the “dollar domination” of the international economy, stressing that the world is now awaiting a “decision from Baghdad.”
The magazine stated, according to its report, which was translated by (Baghdad Today), that “the BRICS alliance is now trying to persuade the largest oil countries, the most important of which are” Kuwait, Iran, the UAE and Saudi Arabia “to enter the BRICS alliance instead of the SWIFT system currently used and which is dominated by the US dollar, stressing that” in If Baghdad agrees to use the BRICS system, the rest of the oil-producing countries will follow in its footsteps,” according to its description.

AN IRAQI ANALYST TOLD “FARES”: THE PRESENCE OF THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE US TREASURY IN THE COMMERCIAL BANK OF IRAQ IS A VIOLATION OF IRAQ’S SOVEREIGNTY

Iraqi analyst Haitham Al-Khuzaie referred to the interventions of the US ambassador in Iraq’s internal and external affairs, stressing that the presence of the US Treasury representative in the Commercial Bank of Iraq is a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and is rejected by every honorable Iraqi citizen.
The prominent Iraqi analyst said in an interview with Fars News Agency in this regard: How can a country build its internal and international political experience while the representative of the United Nations and the American ambassador are still interfering in its internal and external affairs, stressing that the interventions of the American ambassador and the representative of the United Nations must be limited by official means and binding them to the contexts of diplomatic action.
The media office of the President of the Republic stated in a statement received by Alsumaria News, that “Rashid instructed the need to work hard to implement Article (140) of the Constitution and end outstanding issues regarding it in a manner that preserves the rights of all,” stressing “the importance of following up on the implementation of the decisions of the Supreme Committee for the implementation of Article (140).

WHAT ATTRIBUTED THE DELAY IN LAUNCHING THE GENERAL BUDGET?
Today, Sunday, Member of Parliament Suhaila Al-Sultani attributed the delay in launching the general budget to the government’s appeal against some articles and paragraphs at the Federal Court.
Al-Sultani said in an interview with the information agency, “One of the reasons for not releasing the salaries of new appointees in the current budget is due to the appeals submitted to the Federal Court,” noting that “the coming period will witness the release of salaries for all job grades that were added during this period.

What if one vaccine was enough to get lifetime protection from flu pandemics? EnGen Bio has developed such a vaccine and therapy to save thousands of lives per year and also to stop flu symptoms. More specifically, this is a global protection against the flu and all flu pandemics variations with a universal seasonal flu vaccine, requiring one or two shots at the most.

While many believe such a universal vaccine is impossible, EnGen Bio has managed a significant milestone to identify the influenza virus’ Achilles heel. Other than the human influenza vaccine, EnGen Bio is working on two other products: a human therapeutic antibody and a veterinary influenza vaccine.

The global economic cost of influenza is huge. In the U.S. market alone, it is estimated to exceed $11 billion. EnGen Bio has already issued eight flu vaccine patents in major markets and estimates there is a potential for sales of $2.6 billion in the U.S. market alone.

You can invest in EnGen Bio on Wefunder with a minimum investment of $100.

Women can use the HER-Commerce™ program to make their digital stores and sell goods and services on a nationwide level. It is also cheaper than creating an individual e-commerce website from scratch.

Coffee with MarkZ 07/20/2023

MarkZ  Thursday Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Marvelous Morning all of you wonderful Team peeps

Member:  Good morning y’all I hope that today is a very special day!!!

Member: The rumor is the RV would happen on a Thursday. It is Thursday so you may proceed. God bless you.

Member: Just like the kids in the backseat on a trip... ARE WE THERE YET?

Member: What is the good word for today?

MZ:I keep hearing rumors that whales have money. I have great whale contacts- phenomenal whale contacts in Reno, Miami , Shanghai and Hong Kong and Zurich. And I cannot find a single one that has spendable dollars. Quite a few of them talk about having money in their accounts but they can’t get to it. Its on hold. 

MZ: But are they very hopeful they will soon see a release of it- yes. But they just hae not seen it yet. 

MZ: I continue to hear everything is ready and prepared and they just need to decide when to pull the trigger. 

Member: they must be tired of looking at that non spendable money for last year !!!

Member:  I don't believe we will hear anyone has spendable money until we have all gone!!

Member: A shotgun start. It's the only way they can control the chatter from getting ahead of them.

MZ: From Iraq: “ US bans 14 Iraqi banks in crackdown of Iran dollar trade”  this is actually a good thing. The US is working with the Iraq gov. and the CBI to make certain there are no terrorist funds going where they are not supposed to. This is more on the effort to make sure everything is above board. The world needs to have confidence in Iraq and support the rate that they decide on for their currency. This is another sign of the progress Iraq is making. . 

Member: (From Dinar Guru)  Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:  Bank friends says the key to everything that we're looking for is within the oil and gas because we all know here in Iraq that when they present to us the oil and gas law it will be with a new rate because how are you gonna decide to divide up what everybody gets if you don't know what the rate is?    FRANK:   The key to everything is in that HCL, that's in the budget, that is waiting for the new exchange rate...

MZ: We have heard the HCL is a big key piece and they are acting like its already done over there. 

Member: Do we know if the rial is included in the RV?

MZ: We do not for sure if it will go at the same time as the dinar. They would like to. Iran is going to go at some point…there is no doubt.

MZ: “Venezuela strengthens financial ties with Russia through interbank connections and Mir card integration”  This is more of the world getting around the hegemony of the US dollar and the sanctions coming out of the west right now. They are now set up to use the Russian Mir system and not the Swift system.  

Member: Any idea about how many people in the US have currency to exchange?

Member: I don’t know how anyone can even guess….many of us have gifted currency to friends and family 

Member: Dr Young had some great info . I watched his podcast the other day. I believe from. what he Said its all done. we are just waiting for the trigger

Member:  XRP is the new Nesara gold backed assets ! Digital trading worldwide same as all 209 signed on countries

Member: I just read on restored republic this morning Iraq can't RV until on BRICS. Same with Vietnam.

Member: So we have, Goldie Locks, Militia Man, Wolverine, Nadar, Mark, and multiple others, all telling us something different, and contradicting one another. And the only constant is that the can gets kicked

Member: I believe they are all reporting what their contacts are telling them. Its up to us to stay calm and hope some of it is true. 

Member: So much conflicting guru Intel. Yes float no float. RV or RI alone. Now it's we have to be on BRICS or a metal revalue has to happen first.

Member:  The RV is like doing the Hokey Pokey at a wedding with intoxicated participants!

Member: How come the people of Iraq are not forming riots? They were told a month ago they would have new money in ATMs
                       

Member: If you see celebrations in Iraq and the Middle East tomorrow, understand that Friday is Hijri. Hijri is Islamic New Year.

Member: I fear that the powers that be are squandering the momentum. Admittedly, I was much more excited about my projects last year. Pull the trigger, already!

Member: Sure need something real to happen….something we can all see……that would really restore our faith in the RV

Member: I think we are tired of the same information everyday that gets us excited and then never happens! Been doing this since 2006 and it is hard to swallow being told it’s happening for years & doesn’t!

Member: I pray we will cross this finish line before the end of July…….

Member: Lord grant us the strength and wisdom to make it through these times

Member: Mark, huge thanks as always for bringing all the latest news & updates.

"3 Machine Learning Stocks for Getting Rich in 2023" by ALEX SIROIS VIA INVESTOR PLACE OF NASDAQ, 20 JULY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) exploded in 2023 as generative AI programs, including ChatGPT and Bard, entered the mainstream. Therefore, the machine learning stocks that allow computers to learn without being explicitly programmed are receiving renewed attention. Machine learning is a subfield of AI and isn’t analogous to the broader field of AI but rather a part thereof.

In any case, publicly-traded firms specializing in machine learning are booming as AI booms. That growth presents an opportunity for investors. We’re generally talking about AI stocks when we talk about machine learning stocks, but there are some key differences. Let’s consider those firms and their stocks.

Nvidia (NVDA)


Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has risen dramatically in 2023, primarily due to its AI chips. Its GPU chipsets are the most powerful available, and as AI has taken off, the competition to secure those chips has made Nvidia the hottest firm there is.

Nvidia chips also power complex large language models used to train machine learning models based on technical subfields, including neural networks. Those chips are in high demand in data centers and automotive sectors, where machine learning is utilized at higher rates.

Nvidia’s software platforms are used by developers who iterate their machine-learning applications toward more optimized states. Nvidia RAPIDS and CUDA allow data scientists to accelerate machine learning through the company’s GPUs.


All of this simply suggests that Nvidia will continue to move from strength to strength this year, even as valuation concerns plague its shares. I don’t think those fears are valid or justified. Nvidia remains the clear dominant force in AI and machine learning to this point.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)


Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is the primary challenger to Nvidia’s dominance in AI and machine learning.

It’s entirely reasonable to believe that AMD could attract Nvidia investor capital on overvaluation fears. That’s one reason investors should consider AMD.

However, the more salient reason is simply that AMD is not that far behind Nvidia. MosiacML recently pegged AMD’s high-end chip speed as about 80% as fast as those from Nvidia. Here’s the good news regarding machine learning: AMD has done very well on the software side, according to MosaicML, which notes that software has been the “Achilles heel” for most machine learning firms.


The suggestion is that AMD can continue to close the gap between it and Nvidia due to its software prowess. Nvidia’s machine-learning drivers are considered superior and are subject to more frequent updates. Those advantages favor Nvidia. However, AMD is not that far behind, and it can certainly help investors get rich, as 2023 has already shown.

Palantir (PLTR)


Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock has boomed in 2023 due to AI and machine learning. It didn’t catch the early wave of AI adoption that benefited Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT), AMD, Nvidia, and others — instead getting hot in recent months.


Its Gotham and Foundry platforms have found a following in private firms and, more prominently, with public firms and government organizations. Adoption across the defense sector has been particularly important in helping Palantir take advantage of AI stock growth. The company has long been associated with the defense industry and has developed a deep connection by applying silicon-valley-style tech to government entities.


That relationship, paired with Palantir’s AI strengths, promises to propel Palantir much higher. The company is profitable now, so that hurdle has been passed. It has a huge opportunity ahead, especially as the defense industry is likely to spend heavily on AI due to high-stakes geopolitics that makes the Department of Defense highly probable to loosen its purse strings moving forward. Palantir has already benefited in 2023, but it can absolutely run higher.
