Made my first Equity Trade in a long time
Wow, what a reminder. I have not traded stocks in far too long. Last night I tried setting up some charting software. Checked my old trading PC.
Today I setup a laptop which will be dedicated to Trading and Investing. Everything worked. A lot of very fond memories came flooding back. Some of the stocks which I had played in the past were in play today – up over 10%.
Level 2 Bid Ask screen was a joy to see again. I never realized how much I missed doing this.
My trading was based on self taught Technical Analysis. Research is something that I had learned to appreciate when I worked under at IBM Head Office. Research can open doors. Trading and investing is essentially psychological and I know a fair bit about that. Spending time researching obscure trading ideas paid off. Now all I have to do is refresh the memory cells.
It was funny looking at charts, some of old thinking came back.It’s about playing when the odds are in your favour and sitting back and “doing nothing” when they are not. People generally over trade, because they miss the thrill ( I understand that one today) or they want to pay the market back after taking a loss.
Anyhow, the trade got filled. It was a real buzz watching the Bid Ask Level2 to get an idea where the price was gonna go.
I can’t believe how much I missed this.
Have to get AmiBroker setup (love that software) and other pgms. I even have thoughts of setting up my Trading Room again.
Look for more Trading and Investing oriented posts.
One Penny Stock which I had played in the past (no longer own shares of it) was ULI.V UltraLithium trading in Vancouver. It came up on my brokers screen (I think that years back I had added it to the watch list). I’ve included a link to a chart of ULI.V, thanks to the good folks at StockCharts.com. ULI.V would have been a really nice trade in Feb 2016 when the Moving Averages crossed. Moving Average crosses do work, but I would have confirmed that signal with other stuff like the Commodity Channel Index behaviour. Just click on the link below to view the chart of ULI.V
I feel like a kid being let loose in a huge Candy Store.

Gord Downie, of The Tragically Hip, diagnosed with Glioblastoma – a Terminal Brain Cancer.
In Dec 2015 Gord Downie, of band The Tragically Hip, was diagnosed with Terminal Brain Cancer known as Glioblastoma. He’s just a tad over 50 years old.
I have an idea what his family, friends and band mates are going thru. I’ve watched someone deteriorate and die due to Cancer. My heart goes out to them and to Gord. It’s one hell of diagnosis for anyone to receive.
The Tragically Hip are discussing doing one final tour this summer.

To keep the woman of your dreams really happy, you need to give her 4 things.
If you are away on a Business Trip, you will not be able to give her Attention, Love or Appreciation. But the Shoes which you gave her will keep her feeling happy, whether you are around or not. Both of you know that her amazing looking legs deserve some amazing looking shoes. They will make her feel even more beautiful.
A woman can never have too many pairs of shoes. Imelda Marcos for example, had one thousand and sixty pairs of shoes.
Quote:
“To keep the woman

Very well documented explanation why the Earth is “Flat”

Next up is a NASA video from the X15 which reached 96km above the earth. In the video are scenes showing the tail of the X15 with the Earth Horizon in the background. At this height there should have been clear curvature. Yet the horizon remains a “Flat Line”.

Mansion In the Sky listed at $250 Million US at 220 Central Park South
Your new Mansion in the Sky is located at 220 Central Park South, in New York City. No, I was not involved in any part of the design of this highrise. It was designed by Robert A.M. Stern. It is being built by Vornado Realty Trust.
The asking price of $250 Million Dollars US, is more than double the price of the next highest price apartment in New York City.
Click on this line to visit the Refinery 29 website to view their post (with professional taken interior photos) titled “This Is The Most Expensive Apartment In New York City“. Well not any more. That apartment is around $120 Million Dollars US. Might be a bargain when compared to the $250 Million Dollar US asking price for the Mansion in the Sky at 200 Central Park South.
The Mansion in the Sky is unique in that it is on four floors. It is a Quadraplex. To make sure that you have enough space to stretch your legs, your new Mansion in the Sky will end up having about 23,000 square feet of living space.
Click on this line to visit The Real Deal website, where they have floor plans for each floor available to check out. Just left click on a floor plan to enlarge it.
Call your Banker as soon as possible, as this may sell quickly. There apparently really are two buyers considering buying the apartment err Mansion in the Sky.

For many companies the number one priority is getting the fattest share possible of the customer’s wallet. For many companies it’s about making numbers, not about trying to exceed their customer’s expectations. For many companies, it’s about trying to squeeze every extra penny out of a customer, instead of focusing on helping customers.
Jack Me views are different. Here are some examples:
“Focus on your customers. Customers should always be the number one priority. Customers are the one’s who give you the money.“
