2005 Nov - Short Techs - Let success not failure affect you.

I am still negative on American indexes for the next two years so I will be more inclined to bet all of my porotfolio on weak fishes than strong salmons. However if there is more profit on a weekly basis with a long position than a short position then I will go take the opposite stance. It is only logical and I have to get better at mathematical logic if I am to succeed. I failed miserably at this subject in university and I am determined to not fail again but rather be addicted to a succesful mathematical logic in my investment gambles.

Ireland lost last night and RIMM has gone up to 65.5 from 63 today. This is not good news but I am not going to let the feeling of failure affect me more than any success.

2005 June - What Tech stocks look good? SYMC INSP IACI. Prioritising use 50d 200d attributes rather than outer group circumstances

Which top stock is heading for their 4th dip in 4 months? I feel these are ready for reverse throws up, SYMC, INSP and IACI. They are touching their 50 day or 200 day moving averages.

2005 June - Brighton - My cover strategy protects my downside but divorces me from good wives

My stocks are going up. IACI and EBAY are in the money, AMZN is 15% down and SYMC is 5% above what I bought it at even though my cover has taken me out of it two weeks ago. My faith in my trend picking is restored, my point of going long seems always out by a month and my cover strategy seriously questionable although I never did get burnt by AAPL or INSP. I won a killer pool competition last night in the Polar Bar and pocketed a sweet little 20 pounds.

1999 Nov - China Prosper - Watch out following the next pump dump chart, the runaway big movie can not lose truck

The pick up truck swerved to stop from running me into the tarmac of the hot afternoon. At this moment, I am not the usual happy go lucky Irishman that everyone knows me as. Instead, I am walking the streets of Guadalajara Mexico numb to the outside world, in a daze, just muttering to myself. All I can think is, that I am a truly worthless individual, that I am stupid, that I am a sucker, that I am a fool, that I am an eejit, that I am really just another gambling addict and I really don't care if I die right here and now. But let's go back a day! I get up and log on to my computer and my internet stock broker account. Financial news on the internet centres around a China/US trade agreement break through. One click to an internet news provider and the word on Wall St is that China Prosper, a Hong Kong construction company, is said to be one of the main beneficiaries of the breakthrough. Luckily, they say, it's shares are also listed on the reputable stock exchange in Ne...
