Numerous Updates

Well...I've no idea where to start. First of all, many thanks to my readers for giving me increasing support. In fact, the stats show thatyou guys are reading an average of 2 pages when you visit my blog! Well, it's a good jump from the average of 1.something before this. But you guys aren't numbers on the report! I appreciate the feedback, both on- and offline, regarding my blog. But...please...use the comments section alright? Let's develop some sort of communication flow here.

Ok. Investment updates. My "high risk" investment in a duo who uses a system to gain from international horse betting have scaled down their expected profit margin from 50% to 20%. Accompanied with that, they took in more investments, and would be using a more conservative strategy next month onwards. So their strategy is to pay investors first(20%), build reserve funds, pay themselves, and then distribute bonuses. And so the estimate is a week to accomplish each task. Pretty good idea actually, except that the accumulation of reserves would take more than a week I think. And I totally agree with fund managers paying themselves, but not at the expense of investors. Obviously, we can't have fund managers of losing funds who continue paying themselves substantial amounts, and adding to the fund's negative returns right?

Next, tuition. I just realised my schedule is packed, especially for June, during which my tuition with Miranda's brother would double. She's my girlfriend, if it hasn't been indicative in this blog as yet. And so, to track all this commitments and details of each lesson and homework I dole out and et cetera, I HAVE TO GET A ORGANISER! (well, that serves as a reminder to myself)

I'm beginning to feel strongly about acting in the position of a value-adding tutor. And I'm very happy that I am of assistance and able to help my students understand concepts better thru examples (and yes, I remember I'm supposed to develop a game). Have my doubt regarding one of my year 2 students though. She seems well-equipped for now. But that just means I have to build on that foundation and work with her other problems in interpretation of questions and answering skills.

Did I mention I'm going for the FASS(arts faculty) orientation camp? Sure hope I have a rolling gd time meeting and knowing people. And if possible, get closer to some as well. And, no, that doesn't mean towards girls only. But on a serious note, it'll be a challenge to me to develop my social skills, networks and habits. And at this point in time, it's still a tough nut to me. But I'm still positive I would have lotsa fun then!

Last but not least, congrats to Clarence for the successful trading months, and developing a good trading system which has been well-adopted by the pioneer students. I'm gonna go for the course, and I'm sure I'll gain alot from that. Though battling the urge to forget stop loss levels would still be an uphill battle!

Have a good weekend guys!
