Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is the top-selling song of all time. It was also the first single released from Queen’s then new album titled “A Night at the Opera”.

When it was released no one was sure if Radio Stations would ever play it, since it was a tad over 6 minutes long.

I was lucky to have seen Queen perform live. Memorable performance. That was the best concert that I have ever been to. I had shot that concert on slide film using a Nikon F2, with a legendary (and huge) 50-300mm f4 Nikkor zoom lens.

The BBC in Britain put together a great documentary about the making of Bohemian Rhapsody. It is full of interesting insights. The progrock70s YouTube channel has that BBC Documentary posted. YouTube permits embeding, so I thought that I would do so in this post.

Since the Wayne’s World take on Bohemian Rhapsody was mentioned in the BBC documentary, I decided to make that video easy to find.

A-Z of Dance. Fantastic video directed by Jacob Sutton for i-D fashion magazine and DIESEL jeans

Visiting the Dancing Astronaut Facebook page, I watched a neat video which they had posted May 02 2015, on their Timeline.

So I did some research and found the source video. It’s title was “A-Z of Dance“. This video had been directed by Jacob Sutton and was produced for i-D fashion magazine and DIESEL – the Italian Jeans manufacturer.

DIESEL is a wonderful story about Renzo Rosso ( an Italian farmers son) who had a great idea. Click on this line to read the typicaly superb Forbes article titled: “Blue Jean Billionaire: Inside Diesel, Renzo Rosso’s $3 Billion Fashion Empire”. Yes, from farmers son to a member of the Billionaires Club.

“How would you like people to remember you, after you die?” Steve Wozniak, APPLE co-founder, answered that important question.

Steve Wozniak (better know as the “Woz”) co-founded APPLE Inc with Steve Jobs.He was in Springfield, MA and had a public questions and answer session.

As the session was about to end, Steve Wozniak was asked “How would you like people to remember you, after you die?“.His answer may surprise many. The Woz never let his Apple fortune go to his head.

His reply was:  “I really want them to remember me as being a caring person, gave a lot, cared about others, and shared,

You will note not one word about his fame and fortune, because to Steve Wozniak those things do not matter.

What mattered to Steve Wozniak wasBeing a a caring person, gave a lot, cared about others, and shared,

Something for each reader to think about, on their journey to Infinity…

FEYE and CSCO trades, new Sell Stops

The new Sell Stop for FEYE will be the Low which occurred on Apr 14. FEYE Sell Stop is now $40.81. If the prices falls to or below $40.81 the Sell Stop becomes a Market Order and the 1,000 shares of FEYE would be sold off. Sell Stops can protect you against a big loss. So far the FEYE trade has not done well. We’re still in the game until the Sell Stop gets hit.

The new Sell Stop for CSCO will again be the Low which occurred on Apr 14.

CSCO Sell Stop is now $27.68. If the prices falls to or below $27.68 the Sell Stop becomes a Market Order and the 1,000 shares of CSCO would be sold off. Sell Stops can protect you against a big loss.

So far the CSCO trade looks good. It has hit a Resistance Level, but the trading volume has held steady. If it can fill the Gap which was created on Fen 12 2015,  by hitting the price of $28.84 or higher, that will bode well for a further rise. The Feb 12 Low of $28.84 looks to be the next Resistance Level for CSCO.

UPDATE Apr 17 8PM :

FEYE Sell Stop got hit today. Sold 1000 shares at $40.81. First loss, of many to come…

UPDATE Apr 20 11:30PM:

Guess what FEYE closed today at $42.43. I may get back in, but usually do not play the same stock for fear of trying to get even. I’m not upset since I strictly followed selling once the Sell Stop got hit. In the long term doing so will pay off, as it has in the past.
