Prelude To Stock Market Gyrations

in turbulence, opportunities abound...

It is already late May 2025 and many lives are disrupted and the questions on many people's mind are; will there be [more] aggravated wars, economic disruptions, inflation or recession? Global capital markets had suffered a set back in March/April period [1Qtr], though recovered, but many are still reeling in agony

P Trump's on-off tariffs and erratic executive orders is putting lots of stress and pressures on all & sundry

USA has pushed Europe into a siege amongst themselves; to be or not to be

Russia and China are forced to close rank while the rich MidEast nations have to 'pay for their protection' against potential aggressors, without antagonizing US, Europe, Russia and China   

You can expect less(er) disruption until August arrives & nearer (where) the Total Lunar Eclipse, circa September 7, 2025 ~ another financial shock is highly probable [plus/minus weeks]*

*The technical charts quarterly cyclical lows are January, April, July & September

Between now to end August, traders will have a field day but, BUT, keep tight stops [likelihood to pen another analysis nearer the 'fateful' date]

Everyone wants to make money/profits but few are willing, and discipline, to do 'homework'/analysis

The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient - Warren Buffett

There is no lack of opportunities 危机 In my boredom & listlessness, I read to discover new possibilities and mend my inadequacies 

书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉

Knowledge is priceless; may not be useful now but it shalt be of use some day

The martial artist trained earnestly not to pick a fight but, if need be, he protects himself and his properties with his preparedness when exigencies present

Be there, done that; have a story to tell

I make no attempts, nor claim to be able, to predict the stockmarkets. I do technical and fundamental analysis, sprinkled with lots of commonsense and psychology; I look for values in investing

Like everyone, I learn to stand up after every fall ~ when you fell into a hole, stop digging

Between now to mid-late August, I am a range-bound [dips & rise] trader; no fanfare, no emotions

On a bigger picture, you cannot ignore P Trump - his words & his actions send seismic vibrations across the globe but, although he is a tough bargainer [not negotiator], he can settle for less  

The warring factions and nations will ceased fighting if the supply of weapons stopped 

The world is nearing self-destruction if nukes fall into the hands of a 'madman'; he has no sense of equilibrium

Let wisdom and the level mindedness rule

 

 

 

When You Need To Talk

 when the heart is heavy, it is ...

Sometimes, your heart is loaded & you have lots to share or pour out

But, it is not always possible ~ audiences are not readily available neither appropriate at times

The bloated heart sometimes bleed with glee as it releases emotions in dreams

I have, and will still, lengthen my dreams to enjoy that moment of happiness and exhilaration ~ a harmless indulgence

On the same page, I will awake soonest to estop nightmares 

Mother Nature has no limits in solutions

不是做不到 而是还没想到  

Trust GOD to provide answers ...Oops! HE is busy at times though

Take a walk, cycle, enjoy a long transport travel aimlessly, get lost in the uncharted terrain; do whatever fits. A clear mind works wonder

When the mind wonders, let it wonder - free it

A running heartbeat could be due to fear, love, shock, passion, and/or even discovery ~ the tinge of emotional alarm ringing

The heartbeat and the breathe - whichever stops, life stops

I tears easily, not because I am weak but because my heart overflows with genuineness and compassion

I can take punches but I will never tolerate character assassination; it is better to die with honor than to live the life of a coward and accuse    

Time is slow when you are sad and fast when you are happy   

Friends, no friends, few friends ~ whatever! Be the brave one, be ALONE

没有永远的敌人也没有永远的朋友 自有利益

Not all feelings need to be shared  

In this ever changing ecosystem, you need to be fleet footed or, remain calm whilst awaiting the situation to stabilize  ~ an un-emo heart and a calculated brain help

Remained unmoved by your surroundings as gossips, innuendoes and hearsay undermine confidence

Whatever and however you feel, do not be generous to share you feelings; the envious plot to exploit you, the jealous seek to expose and gossip about you but your true friends will avoid you

When you need to talk, confide in the AlMighty; HE will absorb your excesses and keep them ~ humans will always gossip

You need not live like a hermit; keeping quiet manifest peace

 

 

 

Truths, Lies & Half-truths

empathize but don't sympathize ...

Some people deserve their consequential poetic ends

Nobody know the 'real' him/her as some facades envelop "Jekyll and Hyde" completely but Karma keeps perfect records

Stockholm Syndrome ~   Stockholm syndrome is a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time. 

You may pity, and be concerned, but the victim believed in his self-induced narcissism and lives in a silo, away from reality ~ there are niceties ad ignorance  

When you know it is untrue, lies and half truths yet you accept it as truths, you have pawned your life to the devil 

 

因果轮回 ~ 不是每一个人都可以帮【除非你要（能）扛他人的因果】do

Man proposes & GOD disposes ~  do your best and leave the rest

In "Careless People", author Sarah Wynn-Williams was right to chase her dreams and created a job position out of thin air. She docked a job in FB, devoted her time and life (almost died) to climb the corporate ladder but ...she didn't draw red lines or base lines and ended up packing when she was near the top

Trust NO one when you are fighting to gain steps up the corporate appointments - everyone is your competitor

Use any means and methods toward your targeted pole position; any mercy may mean 'squid game' end

Knows when to quit ; it's best to quit when you are at [or near] the top. Be there, done that

We arrive alone, naked and crying and someone gave you the first bath

When you leave, some others will cry and a someone will give you a final bath

You can't change the world unless you change yourself yet everything that happen around you may affect you

The earlier you realize that being alone is better than be in bad and wrong company, the less disruptive your life will be
