on life, meaning, and everything in between
After many days of tinkering around with WordPress… www.tweak-me-site.com is active! Took so long to understand how the hierarchy of pages work. As you can see… it’s 3 a.m. already, so I am really really SLOW at learning…
Just a quick check.. with Super Green and Tony Robbins… I have had 20 hyper days and counting.
Enjoying life man… enjoying life.
Read about what I did over the weekend tomorrow! It’s time for bed!
Have you read this about this 27 year old engineering who gambled on the stock market and lost 700K?? You can read the original article here.
He is no kid, he is about the same age as me. What could have caused him to have so much confidence in himself as to gamble on nothing?
Yes, gamble. There is absolutely no way we can call what he did investment. He gambled on high-risk contra trading. (Contra trading just means selling stock that you ordered but have not paid for within the 3 day period before you have to buy. So despite the bad name caused by irresponsible traders, it is a neutral feature of trading.)
He made some money, 80K to be exact, picking some counters that managed to perform within the 3 days. A few friends called him “Prince Midas”. He suddenly felt like he was an expert, and he had the Midas’ touch.
Probably enboldened by the 300K from his father’s savings, he bought shares with 700K that he didn’t have. Crash… boom… bang… hundreds of thousands gone.
Overnight, this guy made his father and himself bankrupt. This guy had been gambling on nothing. Less than nothing is what he has now.
Is this how investments work? Trading? NO. Please do not believe it is!
True investments are logical, emotionless decisions based on clearly defined entry and exit points. True investments are managed carefully, weighing risk appetite and gains.
Zeag has some comments on money management that would be worth reading. He’s 27 too. Read to find out how his brain ticks. He doesn’t have astronomical gains like the guy in the article did once upon a time. But I’ll entrust my money with him, anytime.
Who wants Midas as a friend anyway???
Haha…
I’ve just installed the Google Toolbar for Firefox, and checked my very own PageRank. Zero. Kosong.
Hee hee… What do I expect right? I hardly update this site, and hardly anyone visits anyway.
At the very list, it seems google has at least cached my page, but nothing to be proud of, the cached snapshot was from February, the “Who is Rich Schefren?” post.
So what have I been so busy with these few days? Trying to get my site www.tweak-me-site.com up. You can take a look now… quite empty, but I will be working full steam ahead. The seminar will not be too many days away now. MUST COMPLETE ONE MORE VIDEO!!!
I’ve decided to redefine myself as a video blogger. Most of it will be posted on tweak-me-site.com. This blog shall remain my personal blog. Hwei Min could be coming on very soon as a guest. She will have a cool ‘super hero’ name, Pepper Mint.
So this page might be called TWeaK Me and Pepper Mint! Cool?? COol??
Yeah! I’ve got my name cards!
Let me tell you, nothing can describe how thrilled I was to get hold of these as they were printed and cut.
I overhead the staff joking as she passed one of my cards to her colleague, “Wanna play poker?” When I hear that… I know I have something good.
I can’t wait to give these out. I can’t do so until www.tweak-me-site.com is up, though… So full steam ahead!
It’s been confirmed. I will be going for Stephen Pierce’s seminar from the 23rd March to 26th March. So I have a few tasks to complete by that time.
The idea now is to bank on aggressive offline marketing first, to get the first influx of traffic. I am targetting Singaporeans who are interested in Internet Marketing first, since I am going for a couple of seminars this year.
So, I’ll be creating hype using a cool name card, and at least 1 fun video which I hope will be viral. I say hope because there is no way you can predict such things…
These are the tasks at hand:-
So far.. I am behind time.
