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.

2016 May - Seek answers to new questions. Templeton

" The wise investor recognizes that success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions using bets."   - JOHN  TEMPLETON " THERE’S NO FREE LUNCH " Never invest in an initial public offering (IPO) to “save” the commission. That commission is built into the price of the stock.  DO NOT BE FEARFUL OR NEGATIVE TOO OFTEN. For 100 years optimists have carried the day in U.S. stocks.  Even in the dark ’70s, many professional money managers and many individual investors too  made money in stocks,  especially those of smaller companies  OUTPERFORMING THE MARKET IS A DIFFICULT TASK BEGIN WITH A MEDITATION - LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. Forgive yourself for your errors. DON’T PANIC. Don’t rush to sell the next day.  The time to sell is before the crash, not after.  Instead, study your portfolio.  If you didn’t own these stocks now,  would you buy them after the market crash?
