My Reflection - Be Ready When Good Times Return

lost & found in today's world ...

You can make back monies lost; you can find another spouse [not the same though], another job or another hobby but you can never find your loved ones who had passed on ~ only memories remain

It will take me a long while to accept that my mum had departed ~ whenever I have time, however busy my schedules were, I will make time to visit her, buy her her favorite foods & titbits or simply to chitchat

No moments were bored as I shared jokes & make humor & create 'comical & laughable' subjects out of thin air

I was her punching bag, her safety net & her solutions provider ~ come whatever may ~ 她养我大 我养她老

In the world of relationship, you are as good as you are useful 有利用价值 

Who to develop deeper relationship 深交 is a function of your & their usefulness

Do not loss yourself & never speculate your [innate] future ~ calculated risks are manageable though

The world will ignore you when fail, slip, loss or gets entangled with the authorities. Why so? Because the world only loves winners and avoids potential pitfalls & fallen guys

The money world is vastly fluid; you need to have enough wealth to keep going! Oops!! This is not about having more money; it's about cash flows

In a rising market [stocks & commodity], even the fool is a guru; a mirage

In the current omnipresent WallStreet, every sharp correction is deemed as 'an opportunity' to buy despite overly rich valuations and stretched technical indicators. "This time is different" is an oft heard echo. 

In late July, the South Korean stockmarket dropped about 40% from its peak within days   

Gold peaked at around $5,500 & drop [about 30%] to slightly under $4,000 while Silver peaked at $121 before hitting low [about 50%] of near $55: both have recovered [Gold $4,400 / Silver $63.50]. **In case, you think that Gold/metals will rally because of the US/Israel vs Iran war, gold/metals didn't quite rally during the Vietnam War but 'rallied' after ...

Above losses were 'largely unexpected' & most had experienced some recovery, but there are already 'blood on the streets' and many didn't quite make it on the recovery phases - a fool is born every day

The market is old, but the players are new

With adequate capital, diligence, research and unemotive decisions, you can 'make back' your losses ~ markets movements reflect the aggregate of emotions 

In the material world, you can "make some, loss some"! Even if you loss all there is still a chance to make them back, but you can never find nor replaced a loved one lost - that's final & only memories remain

Going forward, there are still lots of money to make but few want to do [their] homework as you can buy/long or sell/short the markets or hedge - the world loves a winner & winning is everything   

This pic captured the roadside barbers#at#work under streetlights who make, say RMB10 per customer along buzzling Shenzhen. Just across the road, in cool, comfort aircon shops, per haircut costs RMB150

There are opportunities for everyone & anyone who are diligent, willing and hardworking

不躺平 不认命 智慧能改运

Making money aren't the most difficult, but unfollowing the crowds is

With the onset of Autumn, cooler weather ahead

Go slow, stay alert and be prepared - when opportunity presents, pounced

Hindsight is always 20/20 没有如果 只有结果和因果

Do not leave everything to chances. The wise anticipates
