Wow!

A big down day for all the stock market, but sadly one we were all expecting. Some stocks were deliberately manipulated by users on Reddit and Robin Hood. Gamestop was hyped to the point of madness, going up 1,000%. This is a disaster for anyone wanting to make genuine money. When it gets like this, the best thing to do is stay away! The Indexes are designed to go up not down and I'm convinced they will recover. There are delegated places where the indexes like the S&P 500 are expected to go... Sign in to see full entry.

Bitcoin and Stocks

Keeping on. Just to keep my hand in, I would love to talk about the stock market. Not the sexiest of subjects, but one which had done well for me in the past months. I've given up on currencies as you can't predict which direction they are moving in. Who would have thought the Dollar would fall so low and then begin to pick up? So there is no way of guessing where it's going. Stocks are very different. Everyone in that company is working towards one goal, and that is to help the company make... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep going!

I'm writing this simply to keep my account alive and join in. Little had happened here, and there is nothing of real note to talk about, but I see other people keeping their writing accounts going and I feel I should do the same. One thing I have noticed since the old days here, is that I no longer use Firefox as a browser. I used Firefox for years, ever since they changed over from Mozzila and had no problems with them. Then they changed things. I had such trouble signing into my accounts that... Sign in to see full entry.

End of Year!

I could not end the year without making at least one entry. Mainly to say: "Hi" and to thank anyone who read these daft entries. Strange year. Good for us, bad for everyone else. This account was mainly for me. To hear the sound of my own voice telling myself how clever I was, and I never thought anybody else would stop by. My business account on Etoro was made more money in the past 2 months than the previous 6 years. So I might as well be honest and say things are going great. Maybe not enough...

Christmas!

The looming of the coming day. I am so glad I no longer have to work at Morrisons the supermarket at Christmas time. The utter dread of the shop being closed for just 24 hours sends people into a panic. How can they survive a day without a bottle of milk? Sadly for most people shopping is their only entertainment. They don't go out. they don't drink in bars or dine in restaurants or visit the theatre. For them, the world has to be served up on a plate and the supermarket offers this with little...

Ivory Towers

I can't help but be alarmed by the news that Phillip Green's Arcadia group have folded talking Debenhams with them. Sure, they had it coming, and if you live outside the UK you will have no idea what I'm talking about. But next year will be one of the worst recessions in living memory unless you are in the stock market. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 are at records highs. Making up all the losses from March. For me, this is the best month of the best year I have ever had. Although I'm in no position to... Sign in to see full entry.

Future You.

Imagine your Blogit account being activated in 100 years time, and writing the same way you write now. Well, that's what artificial consciousness would do. Not just artificial intelligence, but something which is actually conscious and thinking in the same way you would, and with your memories. Would you consider this to be actually you? The YOU which is reading this now is not the same YOU ten years ago or the YOU tomorrow morning. When you go to sleep at night you have no anxieties about... Sign in to see full entry.

Safari so good.

Just dropped in to let people know things are going well. The money is slowly coming in, and although we have been served some real curveballs, we are pulling through. I hope other people are doing well too. Hopefully, we will have a vaccine rolled out by the spring in the UK. Although the commercial world has been dealt a death blow here. Many places will never recover. The knock-on effect on the 3rd world will be horrible. We live in a symbiotic world now. No matter how bad things get, the S&P... Sign in to see full entry.
