Stocks slide as Obama calls for tougher bank rules

Excellent, one would hope that this would be the beginning of the bear market.

If it's one thing I learnt (both painfully and from reading), is that patience, discipline and a cool head are key to investing success.

Bodoh

I guess if this weren't so tragic it would be funny. If one does not pause to think of the dire state of this country, and the fact that we are sinking to depths unthinkable just a few years ago, that this is just the start of true racial hatred and the lawlessness/bias that follows.

No, if you don't stop to wonder, then it is funny that these jokers, who intended to blow up the churches, blew up a bit of themselves in the process. I mean, it says a lot about them, doesn't it?

Breathe

So, it's noon on Thursday and I am incredibly tired. Blame it on the menses, but part of me is also mentally overwhelmed with work. I love the fact that it's an incredibly diverse portfolio I have for this year. And I am truly grateful for the fact that because my new boss needs to go off for 3 months on maternity, I get to take over some of her work and what a great opportunity it is to show what I'm made of.

That said, there is still a large amount of work spilled over from my previous job, because the people who were supposed to fill in for me were released either to offshore or to another project.

Anyway, the fact is that my mind is juggling so many issues right now, and I just need to find space to breathe and think of how I want to tackle this better. I've started working nights at homw now, just to catch up on everything.

But Dear God, thank You for hearing my prayers last year. I couldn't be more grateful, really.

Beginnings

The year is starting out better than I expected. Or AK expected. Go 2010!
