This is is basically a fundamental value investing book. I learn some trading philosophy from him.
He started up ShareInvestment and subsequently sold it off to SPH, making good profits on selling the biz.
His experience in the investment field is much likely to be anamoured, as he did achieve success in this investment.
However, there is one point where I still struggle to accept, is that there are not only buying, but also selling as well. Maybe my stocks hasnt trigger the selling points yet, so I do not have the feeling of selling at all.
But I often wonder, if I don't sell at all, and ride out the economic crisis, then I will not be able to capitalise on the fall of the stock market. Though I will still be buying in. This is one scenario that I always ponder and haven't yet find a solution about. Hmmm...

BreadTalk Sold!
On 27th June 2012, I sold BreakTalk at $0.49 and making a total profit of $39 after all the commission was deducted. Lol. My initial target was $0.56 and a profit of $510. But guess I still wasn't patient enough for capital gains stocks. And Breadtalk didn't seem like it was going to grow. I was simply capitalising on its fall in price and its fundamental strength to rebounce back. Lol.
Well eventually Breadtalk will grow back, but I'll rather put it in someplace that is either faster, or has more long term growth potential. I don't really like to buy and sell, buy and sell. Lazy. :P
Still looking around for more stocks to go in for long term.
Probably Second Chance Properties or OKP. :)

Book review - Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill
This book is wonderful. I learnt so many things from this book.
It talked about MasterMind Alliance, which is to have superb relationship with the people around you, thus making your own dreams possible with faith and confidence.
Inside the book there is alot of teachings, all of whom impressed me the most is the chapter on the Art of Sex Transmutation. This chapter strongly suggests that sex itself is an energy, reproductive energy. And by reproductive energy, it is a life force, which represents action. Its so strong, that if one knows how to channel it into good use, the result is tremendous and amazing.
I also like the chapter of invisible counsellors, where the real life story told is so amazing yet I can truly feel that it is true.
Everything in the book goes in line with the teachings of Buddhism. So for me, I find it fairly easy to understand. And everything makes a perfect circle of understanding. :)
So I really recommend this book to anyone who wants a better understanding of life and how it works.
Coz this book is simply amazing. :)

Breadtalk
The other day when I was sick at home and diablo server was down, 22nd May 2012, I went to buy in 6 lots of BreadTalk stock at $0.475 each. Now present price is $0.48. According to the historical price chart, it seems to be at the bare support level. And my longest time frame is 3 months max, so it's by around 22nd August that I will sell of this stock. Price target is $0.56 (around 20% returns). I only set aside $3000 for capital gains stocks investment to try it out first.
Cross my fingers and wish my luck! :)

Whimsyshire!

Got my Black Mushrooms today after 9 runs of Cathedral Level 1 (2 hrs) ! :D
Got my Black Mushrooms today after 9 runs of Cathedral Level 1 (2 hrs) ! :D
E = Mc2
Sorry for not having come in and updating this blog for sometime. Diablo 3 just came out on 15th May, and I kinda stopped all activities to fully concentrate on this game. Brings back nostalgic feelings as I played D2 extensively. Hehe. Now that I'm level 60, can relak abit. Lol.
I chanced upon a video about Einstein today. And it talks about his life and his most famous equation : E = Mc2. Now I've heard about this equation a zillion times and never knew what it really meant. But today I finally know, E = Energy, M = mass/matter and C2 = Speed of light x speed of light.
Its so intriguing, as in the video, it talked of Einstein, who, was one day sitting in a train, and wondered what it would be like, if the train he that was sitting on, was traveling at the speed of light. In his vision, to his amazement, on an old famous clock that he was passing by, the hands stood still. It means, that, at the speed of light, time stood still. This is so interesting! Because I remember that I read or heard somewhere, that if you travel faster than the speed of light, time actually goes backwards. This goes to show that space is relative to time.
More interestingly, in Buddha's context, space and time is bendable. They are illusions, and in actual fact, they actually do not exist. He talks about dimensions, and that different dimensions have different time zones. For example, in Hell realm, 1 day, is around human life time. Probably around 70 - 80 years of earth's time. But for the heavens, half a year, is around human time, centuries.
Linking all these up, I suddenly realized that Napoleon Hill's words of vibration of thought was referring to all these! Vibration of thought, actually is also energy. And different vibrations of thought/energy would have produced different images of matter, matter here being constant, but the images varies. And this, in return, created different dimensions as mentioned by the Buddha. If I am not wrong, many scientists have already found out that on earth, there are actually 4 -5 dimensions occurring at the same time. For example, in one of the scriptures, it was written that, we, would see water as liquid, gaseous air and ice. Deity/ Bodhisattva/ Buddha, would on the other hand, see it as crystal. As they say, that the heavens are clad in precious jewels and stones. Ghosts and spirits actually see water as blood. It apparently applies to tastes as well. Now I am beginning to understand why this is so.
Everything that is on earth, is energy and matter (as quoted by Napoleon Hill). Vibrations of thought are essentially energy. E = Mc2.
Means Energy = Matter x Speed of light x speed of light.
If vibrations of thought are energy, and what we see, need light to translate into our eyes in order for our minds to register the picture, then, Matter, which is picture in this sense, would variate, according to the level or type of energy in the vibration of thought, assuming that the speed of light is constant. So if this theory is proven right, then it would only be logical that different people with different vibrations of thought, would have visions that varies from one to another.
Actually this equation can be best seen in Solar Panels. Solar is light, and solar panels transforms light into energy. E = Mc2. We have Energy and C (which is speed of light) in solar panels. As I mention earlier, if C is constant, then E and M will be variant. (And actually M, matter, will be really small in volume.) Since time and space is relative to energy ( E = Mc2 there is energy and speed of light in the equation), and solar energy is mainly transforming light and heat into energy, I would assume that if light can transform into energy, it is actually capturing kinetic energy. And not just light. Because photons (light particles) travels in the speed of light to the solar panel, and the panel captures, not just the particles, but actually, the energy in the speed of light itself, which is kinetic, and transform it into energy stored for later use. If speed of light can be captured, or rode upon, then, as Einstein envisioned, Time can be stopped, slowed down, and even go backwards. So if time can go backwards, then space can be bent as well, since Time and Space are relatives. If Time stops, then Space would change too. So is it possible that a Time Machine lies in the mechanics of Solar Panel? If our mind clear to its purest form, where it returns itself into pure form of energy, would we be able to travel 'faster' then the speed of light, and discover our past lives like many people who do in Vipassana Meditation? Notice that I hypen the word 'faster' as I do not know the relative term for light used here.
All these are just my thoughts and I want to document it down before its gone. Its funny but I'm getting all sorts of 'hunches' nowadays. Its like my mind is opened, and all sorts of information comes in. The world is getting more and more interesting. : D
Interesting footnote: C, which is speed of light, is a huge number. C2, which is Csquared is a even bigger number. Imagine that C2 in E=Mc2 is such a huge number. Can you see how small M (matter) is?
They say that if the Empire Building in New York is being teared down, and the spaces between the atoms are taken out so that only the actual matter remains, it would not be bigger than a grain of rice in the hand!

Connection in growing up environment + a person's mind
Today I just posted this in Facebook:
"A person's growing up environment, will greatly, greatly, shape his/her mentality, subconscious beliefs and outlook in life. Any negative traits will have to be changed through constant awareness (outside and inside) and understanding of oneself, and great effort to transform the genetic beliefs that are deeply rooted in one's subconscious mind."
We can see that each up growing environment, has greatly shaped, in fact, has shaped, almost 80% or more, one's thinking in life. Their goals has been shaped while they were young, perhaps even before they reach 10 years old. It's no wonder that they always say, that we all have our destinies planned out already before we were born.
"A person's growing up environment, will greatly, greatly, shape his/her mentality, subconscious beliefs and outlook in life. Any negative traits will have to be changed through constant awareness (outside and inside) and understanding of oneself, and great effort to transform the genetic beliefs that are deeply rooted in one's subconscious mind."
Today I have this sudden awareness, or realization, that a person's growing up environment, actually shapes the entire person's thinking and mindset, values, and whatever that is important in life.
My colleagues had a small difference of opinions during lunch today. One of them say that being financially able to support the entire family every weekend to have good meals in restaurants, and financially free, is one trait of being successful. But the other colleague didn't agree with him. He says that eating good meals and being rich, is not a way to state whether one is successful at all. They were at odds with one another.
While the one that feels richness is a successful trait is confused about why the other person wouldn't think so too, I casually mentioned that the other guy, come from a rather wealthy Indonesian family. He probably sees and knows dozens of rich friends, who maybe are lazy, but are rich. And naturally, he would not think that they are successful. And eating at restaurants and paying for whole family of 6, is already a common sight and a must-do to him, that he hardly consider this anything at all.
When I said this, my colleague suddenly realized that the other guy, has a very different growing up environment, and thus thinking is obviously shaped in a different way then his. He suddenly saw that, to the other guy, because being rich is already a pre-requisite, he wouldn't consider that as anything special.
Interestingly, as he said this, I also come to another realization.
This colleague of mine, when he was young, his parents was not rich, scraping by, but definitely not rich. At a young age, he promised himself that he would earn lots of money to break this chain of poverty in his family. His whole life, he desires for wealth creation.
Whereas the other colleague, whom said richness is not a successful trait, leaves his wealthy family to work on a regular pay in Singapore, working very hard on this art and achieving quite some recognition on his artwork as an artist. His whole life is devoted to being a great artist.
So are we shaped for life the moment we are born?
With great awareness, one can sees this, and change at will, to whichever trait that comes from genetic sources. But there are a few conditions that I can think of right off the tip of my fingers:
1) one must be aware of oneself (thinking and actions)
2) one must be aware of the right and good principles
3) one must be impartial and open-minded to all circumstances
4) but in order to be open-minded yet upright and strong, one has to have strong basic foundations (values) as a person
5) constant coaching from enlightened beings to be opened-minded to outside factors which let one compare to inner values
Here's a case to further emphasis on this statement that I posted in facebook:
I have a friend and we got know a couple together. And she would tell me, that the guy, was ill-treating the girl in the relationship in our meetings with them. And I wondered why she said that, or that I would think she probably is a tad too sensitive, and over reacting to it as I don't feel so much to such an extent of ill-treating. Later did I realized the reason, when she told me, that before her dad married her mom, his dad actually liked another lady, but because of arranged marriages, they got married. And her whole life, she saw how her dad ill-treated her mom, that she begin to distrust men in general. She even prefer ladies to men in relationships. This subconscious belief is so deeply rooted into her subconscious mind that she has somehow, shaped her whole life to these exact conditions she saw when she was growing up.
This I believe, is a very powerful awareness. If one can have the mindfulness to be aware of one's resulted actions in life, and really sees it, one can change his/her destiny. With great effort, one can most certainly turn one's life around into the most fulfilling way to his/her own values in life.
