Another hectic week is over with Dow hitting 33200 for the first time in history. For investors and active traders, where the stock markets are heading from here can be tricky. Multiple factors from inflation to no more stimulus can disrupt this gravy train suddenly. It will be very interesting to see where the stock market will be in a few weeks.

I watched this interesting video about a fiverr freelancer who grow her business to making more than $300,000 a year over a few years time. It is definitely an inspiration to anyone who want to do better financially. It is another example of hard work and persistency that pays off.

For Jordan Peterson’s fans, it looks like he is recovering and this podcast from Bret Weinstein with Peterson is delightful to watch. It is rare these days we get intelligent discussions these days let alone open discussions among experts.

It is fascinating to see what cells actually look like. And it is nothing like what I imagined. I didn’t know the technology has been there for sometime already. This busy schedule I am keeping seriously affected my ability to keep up with the latest development in medical science.

More work to be done this week including some hardware upgrade I have planned late last year. The whole project was on hold due to shipment delay from pretty much everywhere in the world. Once this is taken care of I can happily cross it from my “must-do” list.

Have a great weekend all!

Another interesting week is about to end. First we started the week with panic on interest rate spike up. Then the market spent all week going higher with Dow minting a new all-time-high today while Nasdaq 100 dropped 200 points. The narrative of the stock market being represented by the indices looks very much broken to me.

It looks like nothing can stop the stock markets from going higher. That’s what I was told by the Robinhood crowd. That Tesla will be the most important company of the future.

Once upon a time there was the belief of a better future build by calculators. Those leading companies making calculator back then are now all gone. Calculators no longer something of importance. No matter how transformational the technology is, they will all be just part of a bigger and better future. Tesla may contribute to a better future for the world but that does not translate automatically that its stock price will keep going higher and higher.

Since I can’t deliver the message properly without going into hours of lecture on finance, I guess I should just wish this generation of momentum traders, who call themselves investors, good luck.

I am experiencing the seasonal f$#k up of my internet connection again thanks to Rogers. It is very frustrating when you need stable internet connection but there is no real options available. The fake competition between the two biggest infrastructure companies here in Ontario Canada is kind of funny in a dark humour way.

As usual, youtube found me some videos that is totally unrelated to what I am searching for. This time, a video on robots from Veritasium. It is a good one though.

For those of you looking for a way to improve your finance or, simply to find some way to squeeze more money out of your income, it can be as simple as what this video says. I am not sure if anyone would follow the advice though.

I am trying to learn more about cryptos and the more I learn about it, the more they feel like a elaborate scam to me. I am not dissing crypto here though. What I am saying is that they are as good as the government printing schemes. Check out this video on ethereum from Tim Ferriss having Vitalik Buterin to talk about his vision about cryptos and where things are heading.

So many things I like to get done yet it is already Friday … never enough time!

Have a great weekend all!

Another week started with extreme events and ended up with almost nothing serious happened. It looks like the transition into a new four year cycle has finally begun. It will be very interesting to see how the world reacts to the storm of executive orders from the new US president.

Due to the continuous lockdown, I need to find more space at home for getting work done. Traditionally, Chinese people like to tidy up their home before Chinese New Year and I am one of them thanks to learning the habit from my parents. Let’s see how much garbage I can throw away this year.

Here is an astrology tidbit – for those of you who think that Chinese New Year is February 12th this year, think again. February 12th is the first new moon of the year of the Ox. The official Chinese new year is always between February 2nd to 5th. This year that day is the 3rd.

To simplify what I said above – year of the Ox starts on Feb 3, 2021.

My quest on studying history continues and I bumped into this very interesting story of a stock market crash that happened in Shanghai in 1910. And for those of you who can read or listen to Chinese, you can watch this video instead.

For those of you interested in chess, here is a video about the game between Bill Gates and Magnus Carlsen back in 2014. Enjoy!

I find it getting more and more difficult to make any meaningful comments (or open discussion) on current events without triggering the mobs to cancel your video or your website from being searchable by Google, etc. I have some content that I am advised to not posting them in the current environment. It looks like the only alternative is to keep all the content inside the membership area to avoid future trouble.

Here is an article illustrating how the media can influence the public opinion en masse – how Einstein’s Theory turned into a sensation back in the days.

Time to roll up my sleeves and start cleaning.

Have a great weekend all!
