《施氏食獅史》

石室詩士施氏, 嗜獅, 誓食十獅。

氏時時適市視獅。

十時, 適十獅適市。

是時, 適施氏適市。

氏視是十獅, 恃矢勢, 使是十獅逝世。

氏拾是十獅屍, 適石室。

石室濕, 氏使侍拭石室。

石室拭, 氏始試食是十獅。

食時, 始識是十獅, 實十石獅屍。

試釋是事。

forex game -- just like scuba diving with a small tank of air, thrills

in trading bet, we just use (not enough) our instinct and maybe 1 indicator and keep on believing our impulse entry is correct; just like catching a flying object(know where it start, where it will be landed==we thought we knew in advance) hope that it recoil and rebound -- if we look at other indicators, we could be wrong

after your entry, the price will eventually move away from your entry price

so you think it is 50 / 50 that you either win or loss

but everyone could tell you , that it is unlikely to win

and holding a losing portfolio get you so much irritation

and every mistake you made probably cause you lot of money, rather than luckily gain some profit (( not in your favor ))

therefore, unless you are damn sure that you got everything right, don't dip your feet into the pool

ice cream company doing a promotion

each box got 4 icecream cone

last 2 months, I bought only 2 boxes

first box, 4+2 , 2 out of 4 got token to exchange for another one

then second box , first 2 got nothing, then last 2 got token, 4+2 again

when I exchange these token, 1 icecream for each token, out of these 4 gifted item, I got another 1 more icecream cone

i.e. 2 boxes , suppose to get 8

but I paid for 2 , I got 13 in total, I wish that in forex, it is just that SIMPLE

as when we are not watching, only limit order will get IN PLAY and exit is simply not feasible during not watching period

~~~

the poem is like shakespear old chinese, very very tough to get those meaning as oldtime people use least amount of words, so it is just like abbreviation

GSKpharmaceutical pay fines to federal govt

they use too much push tactics to sell un-necessary medication

but we should know it better-- lot of test could have side effect, statistical uncertainty, misdiagnosis, side effect could look like the symptom itself, i.e. most medical doctors are not that GOODNESS SANTA GOD -- by nature

eurcad pair

last week onwards, I did notice eurcad is ranging its weekly high and low

but my limited captial don't really allow me to bet 1 more on eurcad down this week -- even I knew that it reach high last firday, damn 100 pip there while just holding losing position on euraud (did not set up locked loss, so it drains me dry)

This is very cool.

 

True story from a Novell NetWire SysOp:

Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"

Tech: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"

Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period.

How do I go about getting that fixed?"

Tech: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"

Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."

Tech: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped. It's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"

Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional.

It just has '4X' on it. “

At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it off the drive!

"Statement" of the day :

_____________________________________

"The decision to cooperate with regulators before its competitors in exchange for more lenient treatment has backfired, analysts and investors say.

They had a difficult tactical and regulatory decision to make, and they have paid the first-mover penalty,”

Just a short clarification : it refers to Barclays constantly inventingdata worse than they actually were in order to raise libor rates in their (own) favor. And they have been doing so since 2005. "Statements" piling in ...
