Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn how to pick ourselves up.
Holy crap, I broke even! NOT!
Holy crap, I made a loss!
Haha. My paper gain has now become paper loss. LOL.
The very same factor (surging crude prices) driving up the prices of my unit trust, was its own undoing.
Prices tumbled slightly, due to the fact that companies are wondering what effect the oil crunch will have on present and future growth, leading to slight decrease in stock values.
Then today right, I was listening to newsradio 93.8, (which I find rather useless, cos they broadcast news from the whole wide world for 55 mins of an hour, and cram all business news in 2 mins. But I need it cos SCDF doesn't allow internet acess on its computers.) they said that Citibank needed to raise 30 billion bucks of capital because of some losess due to the sub-prime thing. Citibank's shares dropped 8% and world stocks tumbled like how I do after running 2.4k.
So i checked my colleague's com, and whoppee-doo, the Hang Seng dropped by a thousand points plus. Haha. That's a huge current loss for me, but it's finally here. The minor market correction. So I popped slightly less than half of my remaining investment reserves into my HSBC china fund.
I'll reserve the other half for the government induced correction later this month.
But enough on money. That's all I talk about these days. But its what drives me nowadays. I need money to go to camp, need money to eat, to go out, to buy nice things.
Yes, I lead a lonely life. But its not all my fault. I'm in CD for goodness sakes. I can't exactly go out with CD people to smoke under the block.
Anyways, I got promoted today. finally, after missing the August promotion, I got promoted today. By right, I'm supposed to be promoted in January, due to too many MCs from meningitis, but my officer got the help of my director who used her 2 crabs to get me promoted.
But you can't penalise me for contracting a deadly brain membrane infection? After all, I'm one of the few in my dept who has a functioning brain, so you have to promote me right?
And now I have to give a treat with another guy, which amounts to me forking out around $50-$60. COME ON! My pay increase as LCP is only $20. Hello?
They said its no sweat, cos I earn money from tuition. Like Hello? I drag my fat ass to class every night. I put in my sweat and blood into earning my meagre $17/hr.
Speaking of tuition, my incumbent EM3 student passed, and against my expectations made it, with all passes. YAY! Going to ask for pay adjustment soon.
And my expenses have skyrocketed ever since I bought my phone. Haha. I adopted the 'I busted my budget for this month, I might as well go all the way attitude'.
Yup. I got more interesting stuff to share, about the markets, CD and stuff in general.
But my fingers are aching, and I don't want to get carpal-tunnel syndrome.
That's all for today folks.
