Let's give it up for August!

It has been decided, August is the month of the year 2011!
Such an unprecedented occurrence since the dawning of my blog.
We have seen not 13, not 14 but *drumroll* 15 blog entries! Woot!
September 2010 finished closely with 13 entries but that was when things just got started and I was just releasing the pent-up inspiration?! haha

Dear August, this song is just for you <3

Gone in 20mins!

fo shizzle my nizzle?

First of all, US Futures fell, so did the rest of Europe.
MTD jobless reports have been the highest in a month.
BOFA is involved in a legal tussle.
Bloomberg's headline reads: US Stocks Tumble on Global Growth concerns and showing a picture of distressed dealers with a head of white or no hair at all.
Oh and DJI and S&P 500 lost over 4% in the 1st hour of trading.

I must be going bonkers to even think of embarking on this!

My broker probably doesn't take me seriously at all, well, he did make quite a tidy commission from me this month.

The squinty eye candy man and smurfs

I had "I like It" Apple Pie while he had Banana Caramel.
Oh and before this post I had spicy popcorn chicken. Plus a donut for brekkie and fried wanton noodles for lunch.
Goodness gracious, I'm no closer to Nicole Scherzinger's body :S

The giants mocked the smurfs and tried to gatecrash the smurfs' party!

Oh and I spotted this amusing scene amidst the smurfs' soccer game!

He may be a queen but he's gorgeous!

Eh be my baby.. oh oh oh

Raawwrr! Hot stuff!! I need to get those abs and booty!

In retrospect

I sat in front of my lappie looking at this screen from 2040 till 2352.
My eyes were like saucers at 2115 when I got confused with the SGX timings, I gobbled a Magnum Almond in minutes to calm my jitters.
Watching the numbers dance from 7.43 (pre-market) 7.35 7.42 7.53 7.57.
My pulse was racing and my palms were sweaty while fighting the impulse to hit the Buy at 7.35-7.38.
The NYSE ain't for the weak-hearted and buttery fingers.
In retrospect, what were the events and conclusions that could have foreseen this jump?
Bloomberg reported that Stock futures were up.
BAC is liquidating it's Canadian CC division, relieving itself of $1.1 billion in debt and $8-9 billion in assets?
Google is acquiring Motorola Mobility, allowing Nokia Corp to jump on the bandwagon.

Luck + Timing + Courage + Emotional Detachment + Diligence
