It’s Friday and time to take stock, everything happening around the markets and everything else that is not.
I spent a few days, earlier this week, at home in self imposed regiment to experience what life would be like if I stopped work. I must say it was an exceedingly liberating time for me with none of the work encumbrances that I have come to loath with increasing intensity these days.
The routine is the same. With the Bloomberg terminal on, flashing headlines, charts and chats with friends and associates.
With less time for noise, there is more time to immerse yourself in the news that make investors tick. For I have come to realise that not everyone comes from a trading environment and the endless bombardment of your senses and nerves in a number crunching, info digesting frenzy. Life is not about reading and hearing then reacting all the time. Sometimes, it pays to do nothing !
My mind transcended into a newfound tranquility that challenged my perception of world events and exposed the great irony in which we live in. Thus I will be sharing these interesting finds here, hopefully daily, of the warped, weird and wonderful world in which we live in where orang utans read Jane Austen , celebrating World Toilet Day on 19 Nov and Singaporeans can’t cry.
Here goes….

Better to replace the wine bottle with used muddy water bottle….
Nice post!
Maybe this can be a small wake up call for retail investors.
