Back to the future.
Happy New Year!!!
I know this is a bit late. There has been death in the family that almost deter us from celebrating the holidays altogether. My father's youngest sister died of heart attack. She's 43. It was painful to see her leaving her family with three young children. She's not only my father's sister but a second mother when I was in college. I get to live with them for 6 years. And the news that she's gone was particularly shocking.
I guess it's one of those black swans in the family the author Taleb is talking about. We know death is just waiting for the right (or wrong) moment to strike, but it always never fails to surprise us. And, sometimes, crush us to our very core. We always see death as something in the future, but when we see it in the face of our love ones, we are always reminded how vulnerable our mortality is.
But this new year I'd like to think of a new beginning. I got a new job. I reconnected with my family. And of course, more opportunities to open up along the way. I'm excited as always every new year brings. This is somehow a restart button to everything and I will be taking every initiative to make things right.
For my stocks position in 2010, it ended with a marginal profit of 6.41%. In a bullish market, this seems to be a bit off. But I don't mind. There's always learning process and as the market players always remind us, we all have to pay the tuition fee that goes with it.
