Entering this summer holiday is a bit bore as most of my friends have gone back to Malaysia, leaving few of us here in this quiet Sunderland city. Worst, the remaining people in Sunderland have gone for their Euro trip making the situation more unpleasant but this doesn’t mean I miss anyone that is not here in Sunderland at the moment.P/s: Hey, I don't mind if you miss me....don't tell MJ. She w
It's another boring day! Dear hubby went to work today and we're stuck here. We even missed the church today because he left the house at 6:00 o'clock in the morning.

If you aren't paying close attention to those stocks they'll nickle and dime you to death. Had I maintained trailing stops on stocks like COP in 2006 I would have made a pretty silly return on it. For the most part, although I would buy more when they got crushed and sell a little after a big run, I basically just rode the oil stocks up and down all year. Pretty silly when you think about it.* Speaking of boring, that stupid little 50 cent pop in MSFT yesterday cost me a bunch in my Feb
