Last week I tested and built / refurbished two computers from scratch using Pentium Chips, motherboard, computer cases and RAM from 3 old computers from the east end Toronto City Recycle / Trash station. That was why I didn’t have much time to blog, it was quite a bit of work but the end result was that I saved quite a bit of money and it kept me busy.

I just thought I’d share this interesting article about how to deal with crappy bosses, after all in my previous job my new boss was a robot (personality of a stainless steel fridge) and that was one of the reason why I was laid off.
I hope this article would help you the readers to more or less get along better with your boss so you don’t go through the same head aches that I did.

Glad I wasn’t playing the stock market today, it took a huge hit. Luckily I cleared out of most of my positions a week or so ago and sitting on mostly cash, except for a few PUT option contracts. But that is O.K because they are PUTs expiry in August 2007, I am hedging that the market will go downwards from here on in until July. Have to see what happens the rest of this week in the stock market.

I just finish reading the book “The Electronic Day Trader” for the second time. I bought this book back in year 2001 when the whole day trading thing during the dot com boom was hot and read over it once back then but it didn’t really stick. What I mean by that was what I read kinda just went through my eyes and out my head, I’m sure everybody has read a book before but forgot much of it shortly after. I guess at the time I did not treat it seriously, I didn’t take notes.

Exactly one month and two days ago I was laid off, and although it was inevitable, and probably a blessing in disguise as many of my friends and family have told me, it still feels weird. Even though unemployment insurance and my savings will more than adequately keep me afloat for over 10 months or so, I still have this feeling as if I am non-productive and there is a big hit to my self esteem.

Everyone has a different perception of wealth, however I think that most people would agree that wealth in terms of money allows us to buy stuff, but beyond that there is more. For example, it allows you to have more confidence and security. It gives you more freedom for your life and the choice to live your life the way you would like to. Don’t get me wrong, wealth is not just about money, other aspect of wealth include things like physical health, mental health, family, friends, philosophy of life and spirituality. Money is just an factor of wealth that allows you to have more choices and the ability to make the best choices for yourself and your family.

I recently sold or closed my position on some Yahoo options that I purchased.
Let’s examine and learn from this option trade. I purchased on November 16th of 2006 two contracts of the YHOO Jan. 2008 $25 Call options, so basically I bought this option call contract in anticipation that Yahoo stock will hit the strike price of $25 by January 2008.

The meeting with the job recruiter yesterday went very well. I was able to tell him what type of job position I was looking for, how much I was willing to work for, where in the greater Toronto area and what type of industry I would like to work in.
