Means to an End

How would you feel...
if you finally landed the job you wanted since way back in freshman year?

Been getting away with too much luck all my life.

Take Profit AUDUSD Crncy

AUD/USD pair has been on steroids in the past few weeks. It's now flirting with the all time high, at resistance set in July 2008, at a level above 0.99 to the dollar. Well think about it, this basically means parity to the USD. I think sell la. Enough profit already.

Pity the Fool...

... Who isn't long on something right now!

Welcome to the 4Q rally, fool!

Drawdowns

From a drawdown of 50% on my equity at the beginning of September, I managed to claw myself back up to square one by the end of the month. Phew! Longs on EUR/USD, AUD/USD and GBP/USD paid off. Shorted USD/CHF but this was stopped out with stop loss order (though while in the black, so no complaints).

One exciting month.

EUR/USD has busted 1.37. I dont know what to think anymore, but heuristic biases should be ignored; just follow the trend (though the gap from the MAs are widening like crazy).

The 2010 Bull Run

Don't you think the fence in the Ferrari picture looks like Bloomberg auto-regression bands?

What money is spent on...

Office Badge of Honour

It is disturbing to me that gout has become somewhat a badge of honour among the upper echelons in the office. It's the disease to have, if you must be afflicted with something.

Because if you don't have gout, you haven't been eating and drinking finely enough.

@#$%@^^%#%$???!??!?!?!?!

I've been trading like a complete noob this past week!!!!!!!!!! I should be executed.

Pimps & ...

... World Head of Research & Equity Sales.

W.h.o.r.e.s, get it?

From a decade back...

My pals Shawn and Yunfei, who came to visit me in Hong Kong. Long way since messing around in an all-boys school, yeah!

Sigh, Singapore English

Bad grammar undermines credibility...

Hit it for all it's worth...

...Like it were a pinata.

Been bashing at the EUR/USD and GBP/USD for 2 weeks now, flogging every last pip out of it. Kept whacking away each time it retraced. Musta made something like 600 pips from the EUR/USD.

Now the EUR/USD and GBP/USD are ripe for a big pullback. I got my candies, I'm outta here. Turning to other risk currencies like AUD and NZD.

"Oh my god, your girlfriend looks like an actress!! Very stunning!!"

Convocate your Head

Contrary to popular misuse, the verb convocate has nothing to do with the noun convocation, that refers to a university graduation ceremony. So stop saying it like a verb, such as in the context of "woohoo I convocated yesterday now I feel like my IQ is 200", because it clearly isn't.

I'm going back to Singapore on Wednesday night!!!

All Summer Long

Went and got a new camera today. The old one has served me well, but it's showing weakness. Someone told me people celebrate a first paycheck with a self-congratulatory gift (like a bag or a suit or a watch). I guess this is how I embark on the long and swirling path of consumerism--acquisitions, trade-ups, upgrades--that comes with disposable income.

Next week I'm returning to Singapore to officially mark the end of my undergraduate days with a convocation ceremony. Back for a weekend that'll pass too quickly. However it'll be good to go back to school, for old times' sake. More photos (with my spanking new camera) with the gang.

And then...
I have about 5 weeks left in Hong Kong. Quick, huh?

I feel so on top of the news these days. Maybe it's just the job, maybe it's a line my boss said at the end of our last day in the orientation week back in the beginning of June.

"I expect all of you to know the latest news. If I ask you what's going on and you can't tell me, I will fuck you."
