RIP: The American Hustle

February 11, 2019 Published by

However, after being settled as a country for some time now, you know post industrial revolution and now post tech revolution (the first one atleast) it seems we may not be falling into the land of the complacency.
Being on the grind is what made this country great.  No one expected anything, they went out and got it themselves.

ScaredyCatGuide to Being Ambitiously Lazy

February 11, 2019 Published by

The title kind of seems like an oxymoron. How can someone be both ambitious and lazy, wouldn’t one effectively cancel out the other?

Let me ask you something:

Do you consider yourself ambitious?
Do you consider yourself a hard worker?

Do those the two terms go hand and hand?
I contend they do not!
 
Ambitiously Lazy
Most people consider me ambitious, they also consider me to be a hard worker. They have this idea that I’m hustling all the time because I have the ambition to pursue multiple things.
This may have been true in my twenties, but in my late thirties – not so much!

Life and Times of an Honest Business Man: No Good Deed Unpunished

February 1, 2019 Published by

Anyone who has ever done business for themselves knows that you rarely get 100% transparency in most transactions.
Business people have their best interest in mind, even if a win-win would make things better for everyone.
Don’t get me wrong, there are honest people out there going the extra mile, but they are not the majority
Maybe they should be, sometimes you can be too helpful and honest.  I’m guilty of it and it does lose me deals sometimes. I’d rather have the goodwill I suppose.

Why I’m Trying a Short Trade on SPX

January 10, 2019 Published by

Generally I like to see clear entry signals, but sometimes I try to anticipate a move if it is offering me a low risk proposition with a solid reward.
Taking a Shot on a Spinning Top
There are many names for candlesticks and candlestick patterns.  Spinning top is one of them and it is what I am seeing on the daily chart of the SPX.

After seeing the SPX gap higher three consecutive days and then create a spinning top yesterday I thought why not get short at the close of trading and put in a stop loss at the day’s high.
