2015 May - Pension out of 50/50 euro and US stocks to GBP. How to know if a black swan is coming?

Now to get my Irish pension pot out of the 50/50 Euro and US stocks fund. I will put it into a so called Euro cash fund until I can find a way to get them into GBP or CHF or Hargreaves. I want to do this in case a great or monster unknown black swan comes out of no where like Japan, Spain or Italy to hammer the euro even more than the 25% already beaten down. Russia deserves better long investment too given its low debt to GDP. Meanwhile I played on pokerstars for the first time in two years I finished in 3rd place in a 30 pound tourney and won 230 (eliminated at hand #135767801039). There were 120 hands played and saw flop: - 6 times out of 21 while in small blind (29%) - 9 times out of 22 while in big blind (41%) - 22 times out of 77 in other positions (29%) - a total of 37 times out of 120 (31%) Pots won at showdown - 12 out of 18 (67%) Pots won without showdown - 14 And I played in PokerStars Tournament #1232252470 I finished in 8th place (eliminated at hand #135765936500). There were 69 hands played and saw flop: - 1 times out of 10 while in small blind (10%) - 2 times out of 10 while in big blind (20%) - 4 times out of 49 in other positions (8%) - a total of 7 times out of 69 (10%) Pots won at showdown - 2 out of 4 (50%) Pots won without showdown - 6

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. I will invest 150% of my portfolio for four weeks, the second week in May and then short the same stock 100% or a weak stock that is hitting its 50d or 200d moving average.

2017 July - Always be Scouting for "Blue Ocean" Unicorn Shape Shifters and unicorn asset classes moonshot markets

2017 July -  Behave more frequently like an Aikido Scout Blue Ocean brand new innovative warrior general. And less like your usual strategic less, tactical, jumpy, acute FOMO Aikido warrior self, which is ready to shoot from the hip when a sudden 2 day price move pops up unexpectedly over the last 48 hours up, one that irrationally excites or terrifies you. Unfortunately yes, your Aikido FOMO warrior within, has often tended to tactically react more to a "System 1" gut feeling, or hunch, or shame and new short term rigid belief that has arose first. On the other hand,  when numerous big facts over 3 months proves big time that there is now a change to today's landscape and consensus, like a Great Scout warrior general proudly alter, mindfully and intriguingly, all the previous "non performing" and pernicious dysfunctional harmful beliefs, bets and relationships. And move big. Always be Blue Ocean Shift Scouting relationships, markets, currencies and i...

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...
