Financial Goals

Having financial goals is important part of planning for the future. Having attainable financial goals is also as important since it gives you the feeling of having accomplished something.

January Market Run!

There is not shortage of nut cases out there who make outrageous claims and issue dire warnings every 5 seconds for the last 50 years.  Statistically, some of them is going to be right at some point.  

Free Starbucks Refills

Did you know that you get free Starbucks, non-crafted, refills for free as long as you do not leave the store?  I did not. And, I probably spend few hundred dollars buying coffee post buying something else.

CAKE

I have been short CAKE for a little bit.  I made money on it but let it ride because I thought it will drop further.  But the market in general bounced and sod did CAKE.  Now, I am short and short, i.e. lost some money on it.

You hear that statement all the time, market support. This means anything that increases the value of equities, i.e. the stock market. But how these markets are supports is key to understanding how things are going to work out in the financial markets for the future.
