Stocks

I have been very busy at work so typing in Japanese is just out of the question. Please excuse the name of this blog for a moment. In fact, I have not been reading anything Japanese for about a week!! :-(

Anyways, one thing I still try to do now and then is to trade stocks in between meetings and phone calls. But while making a few bucks is possible in this market, the risks are so much higher now, especially this year. I can still make some gain on one stock but 2-3 other stocks will drop a few bucks each on me!! My original strategy was to hold for a very short term but now I guess I'll have to sit it out, like many of my other stocks from the early 2000. Today, I checked the stock market for the first time at around 11:55 p.m. and saw a stock I sold 3 days ago is now 6 bucks under. Boy, do I feel happy and proud of myself !! :-)

But who knows, they said every 4 year is a big dip and this is the 4th year so the nasty one might be coming...
