Sunset

Sunset was perfectly surreal today.
Wish I had a camera to capture it and forever keep with me.
Suddenly its like anything and everything in life made sense.
I didnt want it to leave me. I didnt want to live a day without it. I didnt want to forget.


Thats so typical us isnt it?
Why cant we love freely without owning?

Heads in

On Tuesday we were given a project.
RM 100 M to trade. Winning team is the one that makes the most money in a month.


All of us were completely clueless. Super clueless.
Like errr which industry should we look at....which company....when to buy....how to value....
Sooo we called some ppl, read some stuff, threw darts and chose our stocks.


Thats how we started! Whewww what a gamble it has been!
But as days passed, we became more aware of news surrounding us, on industries and companies, and we're sorta learning how to make our own interpretations on candlesticks and charts and volatilities. Right or wrong we dont know, and I guess its the sort of thing you gotta learn and pick up over time.

And being forced to trade has made me realise that trading is actually not THAT scary. I guess sometimes you just gotta take that plunge to rid yourself of the fear and to stop thinking and just do it! Theres still so much to be learnt...But at least I've ridden myself of my biggest barrier- the self-imposed barrier of entry.
So my advice for those wanting to start to trade is to start with a portfolio simulation. Then you'll start picking up stuff and you'll realise that you actually dont suck that bad and voila you ought to have the guts to start for real soon enough.


Its an exciting world out there!

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
(ok you get the picture)



On a slightly Brighter note...
1) No one in THIS and MOST previous batches passed.
2) Passing mark is 70, I got 64.5 (sooo low but not THAT far la).
3) I got 2nd highest for this batch (wah lucky lucky!)
3) Over 4 years and 200 students, the highest mark to date for exam 1 is 77.


Lol, things I tell myself to sleep better at night.
Coz whatever it is, its still a FAIL!!!


4 more papers. I hope I pass at least one.
Hmmmm listen to me now... 2 weeks ago the idea of aiming just to pass would have been foreign. Haha let alone aiming to pass 1 out 5.

I dont know which is better - to never know failure or to know it and be resilient.
