Observation
Personal Thanks and Tribute to a Selfless Coach
Here’s another really nice testimonial. It’s one thing to get such nice words from a fresh student but to get it from a student that has already been trading for some time is another thing altogether and it means a lot to me. And it means even more when lessons in life are appreciated above [...]
It has been a long two months.
I have had two of the busiest months of my last five years and needless to say, I am knackered. I don’t know if I can remember everything that happened in the last 60 days but I’ll do my best to get everyone up to speed including what is going on in this rock-n-roll market.

May 2010 In Review, June Preview
What a May that was … there was that flash crash that went into a 400-point relief rally and then slow-bled only to go into another 300-point rally. All three benchmarks fell below their 200DSMAs and only the NASDAQ closed out May above its 200. The Dow Jones Industrial Average held above 10,000 in spite [...]
Beware The “Top Of The Market” Gurus.
It has been one of the most profitable years in the history of the stock markets. Anything, well almost anything you bought a year ago is probably making a lot of money for you right now. I am quite please that so many people have written to me thanking me for “Profit From The Panic” [...]
February 2010 In Review – March Preview
This is going to be a short post because February was quite uneventful in spite of the Chinese New Year celebrations. February was also my last chance to get as much rest and family time before the mad season began – which always happens the week after Chinese New Year. From this day forward, I [...]
Where’s The War?
On 27 April 2009, in “What Now Brown Cow? … Bull Run or Bull S**T?”, I wrote:
Didn’t I write somewhere on this blog that three things normally accompany a recession?
Pandemic
Natural Disasters on a national/international scale
War
Well, one down, two to go.
That was in April last year at the end of the H1N1 scare. Since then, we’ve [...]
Why I Keep Long Hair
This is one question many want to ask and few actually dare to ask. So for what ever it’s worth, here it is once and for all – the “long story” I usually use as an excuse to not explain it.
I was born into the hippie era in the 60s and grew up on songs [...]
Reflecting on the Past, Celebrating the Future
A PERSONAL MEMOIR
Tuesday, 24th of November 2009 came and went in an almost uneventful manner. This was my 45th birthday and it marked a most significant moment in my life.
It started in Penang after completing 4 days of tutorial there. Lucy and I woke up in a hotel room at 7am to get ready to [...]
The Banks – Boomz or Bombz?
“My impression of the U.S. banking system is that it is quietly going insolvent in a manner that will become evident only when the slack for “significant judgment” (provided by the FASB earlier this year when it altered mark-to-market rules) is taken up so tightly that the rope snaps.” ~ John Hussman
Yup, we’re talking about [...]
What a Unique Monday … 14 Sep 09
If this morning is anything to go by, this week is going to be a really “Boomz” week for me! Already, now at 16:00hrs (SG), everything seems to be falling into place right from the time I woke up.
After sending my kids (who weren’t late for a change) to school, Lucy and I decided to do [...]
