Chill out

It was nice when I was doing an internship making money instead of paying an institution of 'learning' for a scrap of paper.

Now that I am back in school for 8 months, the final 8 months I might add, I am back to being stressed by logistics. I've been a busy beaver buttering people up and pissing people off trying to get things done this week.

The logistics are complete for now and I can focus on trying to squeeze out some good from my courses. This directly cuts into my time to think about new investments so I will probably just be playing around with my current portfolio.

I've already decided on a strategy for the fall. I'm just waiting for a pullback to make some more purchases which will should include some smallish cap tech names and shorting the USD against the CDN on pops.

That's all for now.

Brrrrrrap

Investing is so much about the investor sometimes that it doesn't matter what the investment is. In the spirit of that, I have a suggestion to you; focus on getting to know yourself more. Find out who you want to be.

Maybe I'll get into my philosophical ideals sometime but for now I'll just say that once you start to appreciate yourself, others will follow.

Why the hell are you reading this dead-beat blog anyway?

Test time

Looks like all the shit I've been talking about natural gas is going to be put to the test as we are now seeing '09 lows and I am looking at a pretty hefty loss on my hands. I suspected as much coming into this position, so naturally I am ready to suffer the consequences should I be wrong. That being said, as usual I will find more cash, namely from my other wins, and buy more natural gas. I'll have to write a pretty big 'lessons learned' post if I'm wrong on this one, but I'm sticking to it.
