in My Journal, Writing

I have not written for awhile because I am working on a book project. I am writing a book. I finished an E-book I had been working this month about computer shortcuts. But that is not the project I am talking about. I am writing a book that I hope will be published. As a result, all of my time has been towards that project. Consequently, I will not be blogging as much either although I will update you on my million dollar journey because the book deal is part of that journey. I am currently writing chapter one. I will posts excerpts of it here and there so tune in for that. But I have been wondering if people read like they used to. And questions have come to me such as, what make people like a book? What kinds of books are you interested in?

I went ahead and bought 150 shares of TRGL and held them until today early trading. The U.S stock market opened about an hour ago minutes ago. Upon looking deeper into the company filing and other information I did not look at yesterday, I realize this stock is not good for my short term plan. I also realized that the graph was heading negative. Which means there is a lot of other information that I did not look deeply into. Even with all the research plus an analysis I got from VectorVest information database, I find this trade to be more riskier than I previously thought. So I caught my mistake and cut my loss. After selling it short with only a 6.45% loss, I watched it tumble down further on the negative. What did I switch to?

I bought 20 shares of Monsanto (NYSE: MON). I have watched this stock and the company for years. It is a solid company with a long positive history. Not only is it a good trade, if all else fail and I cannot make a chunk by shorting it, I will get a nice dividend from it. I am also watching Alcoa to see how it does in the next few days and weeks. It is down from it’s 52 week high of $17+ and it’s trading at a bit over $13.

I bought it months ago when it was trading at $11 or so and I own 30 shares of it but I want to add it to my day trading list as well. As of now I have about 5 stocks I have been following since the market went under. I hope to use them to double the $2000 I am trading with. Well, now it’s down a bit from that principle due to commission totaling $12 and the 6.45% loss from TRGL. I usually start negative and then I make an excellent choice. Last time I did this, my second trade brought in $900. My broker called me to congratulate me. Tune in to see if I can make the same thing happen again.

Million bucks by 35: double $2000 as quickly as possible

The market turned really sour on Friday. The DOW was down over 200 points. Which tells me that there is a huge sell-off going on as a result of earning reports, the uncertainty in the market, the volatility we have been experiencing and a number of other issues as the market tries to find its [...]

Poem: At the light

The feeling has not been lost yet. It happens less but when it does, it reminds me of a past that never really became a past and thus now and then leaks into the present. This time I was walking to the bank to pay a bill and send a package at the post office. [...]

Poem: On the frozen river

Thumbnail image for Poem: On the frozen river

I sat at Ttukseom resort staring at the frozen river and these words came to mind.

On the frozen river

Natures old ways remain forever new,
crack lips, cracked ice
white and gold thrown in my view,
save me from the beams of light
that force me to give up the fight
and accept the rudeness of Winter,
Her imposing presence on [...]

Nowadays there is not much you can do without a computer. So, billions of people across the world come in contact with a computer daily. Some people spend hours just to type an email, especially those old people at the coffee shop holding up the line. But you can’t push an old man to move [...]

On the road

One of the best things about traveling if not the single best thing is the people you meet on the road. I have met a number of people since my travels. Some have remained good friends others have moved on as quickly as their name left my lips. In either case, traveling allows me to [...]

First encounter…we got scammed in China

Thumbnail image for First encounter…we got scammed in China

Our first experience in Beijing was not a positive one. We were on the way to see Tian man square. It was frozen outside; it was below 7. When we were near the square, Allan was approached by two Chinese girls. The girls told him that the square was closed and we were wasting our [...]
