RECESSION ????
Hi,
The signs are here !
We had a recession, there is recovery;
and we are warned that we may face a double dip.
Perhaps the signs of the time are telling us where we are heading.
I have just come home from a walk at TampinesCentral shopping area.
At the BestDenki I picked a mouse and looked for the CASHIER,
what with all the things hanging all about the ceiling.
To save time I asked the woman womanning a counter where I might pay.
She pointed somewhere and I went there; but the cashier was not there.
I went back to the same girl, and she pointed to another distance,
saying go there turn there and there and there.
Now what do I do,
I am buying something and I have to hunt for the CASHIER.
What should one do then ?
Well, calmly and quietly I went to the unattended CASHIER
and deposited the mouse thereon.
Goodbye to BestDenki,
and certainly goodbye to RECESSION !

Living ?
Seng,
I have a very simple philosophy: every day 24 hours, live as I like within the laws of God, state, society within my means, guided by the teachings of the wise, and do what I can for myself, others to leave my surroundings a better place than it received me. My 2 cents effort, yet better than letting my day pass me by; and so far so good.

Is GST Evil ?
Really, is GST Evil ?
The main purpose of taxation is to accumulate funds from citizens for the functioning of the government machinery. Taxes are levied against citizens directly and indirectly, through various ways. Taxes are made on personal income, on income from wealth, on facilities, on expenditure, on enjoyment, on legacy and on living like the GST, when the government finds itself short of funds or under dire circumstances.
1. Personal income – citizens gladly pay this, the more they pay for the more they earn.
2. Wealth – there is not much to pay if there is not much to own, companies or spaces horizontally or vertically.
3. Facilities – only those who use these pay, in advantage over others.
4. Expenditure – certain types of lifestyle may not make society healthy or harmonious; it is a kind of disincentive.
5. Enjoyment – if citizens do not contribute here how do they get the setup to enjoy the fun.
6. Legacy – this cannot be taken on departure, so leave some to others.
7. GST – there are reasons for this, but are these holistically administered ?
Taxes are levied on earnings and possessions; from what citizens have citizens contribute accordingly. Citizens who are against this must first search themselves on what circumstances were they able to be in that situation, to earn and to possess. Citizens support the government and the government administer to the people, a holistic or total system.
The issue arises when citizens do not earn nor possess. Is it sanity or clear thinking to want these people to pay GST ? GST is the goods and services tax, a system that taxes comprehensively everyone from before birth to after death, for everything we eat and shit, excepting those who eat air and shit gas. There may be those who are not able to see that there are such over-burdened people, for the simple reason that those who dwell in the sky cannot see what lies on the ground.
Besides non working people and people on the dole, or people dependent on others or on charity, there are people who survive from hand to mouth and yet have to support their families and dependants. Is not GST an inappropriate burden to be placed upon them ?
There are senior citizens who have shouldered their responsibilities and are now living on their savings, wait for death so to say; would removing the yoke from their shoulders cripple the government’s finances. Does a citizen have to carry this responsibility to the crematorium ?
There are also people who are chronically sick, people on perpetual medication, people in palliative care and people in intensive care units. Taxing those who are capable is fine, but taxing those who find life difficult and are unable to uphold their dignity is beyond sanity. The coffin, ah, do people buy and store their own coffins anymore ?

The SPOTTING of WHEN in Make Money on the Stock Market
For the interest of fellow investors,
Buying at a good price may not make money,
yet surely gives one a grand feeling of ownership.
Just buying at the right time does make money,
it balms one with cool joy on the way to the bank.
The former is usually an act of a calculated strategy, while the latter may be said to have been the instinct of a real fluke. Or is that it ?
Fluke or not, clever technical chartists will attest to their art of doing just that most of the time, while their skeptics maintain that they are just masters of alacadabra. Well, while the technicians scan at their complicated charts and the seers peer into their crystal balls they both do survive, and live quite well among us.
These aside, are there other ways to spot this timing ? To most people there is not, but to keen and sharp observers there is. Presently, under the computerised trading system, the trading process is open to participants, on the personal computer screen, transmitted from the broking companies.
The Time&Sales column tells the action of the trading while other information show the status, results and other statistical data. The Time&Sales is the column to watch in conjunction with the Price/Buy/Volume and Price/Sell/Volume figures. The action in these columns will reveal whether the shares of a counter are being accumulated or distributed, these are actions engineered by the BigBoys, the market movers. They do not actually move the market, it is their action which moves it. First they accumulate a sizable portion of the freefloats from which they distribute, or distribute what they have or borrowed and later accumulate back; and that is how the share price rises to its zenith or falls to its nadir at the end stage of the frenzy.
So, the trick here is to detect this kind of action. This occurs when the volume shows sizable activity. There are days when there are more selling than buying and yet the share price rises marginally; and vice versa, the share price falls marginally when there are more buying than selling. These are actions investors do not see unless they are aware of it. The BigBoys do not chase shares, they do not overbid and undercut; they just put their bids and queue, loading or unloading, and let their monkeydogs lead the punters. The monkeydogs are clever at buying and selling one lot shares, or negligibly small lots, now and then opportunely to maintain the buying and selling momentum while the BigBoys keep replenishing the supply or demand at the queues. With strategies like these the BigBoys are able to purchase treasures at the front yard and selling lemons at the backyard at giveaway or snap-up prices without punters losing their interest. How else are they called the BigBoys ?
Being in step with the BigBoys any time will be the right time.

The Monkeydog
A dog is faithful to its master.
A sheepdog is a dog trained to guard and herd sheep.
It is also called shepherd dog.
A monkeydog is not a dog;
it is coined here to mean a person doing a particular kind of work.
Investors who trade through a broker or a remisier does not see the mechanics or antics of the buy and sell involving the transactions. Investors who trade on their own through the computer are able to see this on the computer.
There is a feature provided by the broking houses whereby the Time&Sales of transactions are listed live, showing whether each transaction is a buy up or a sell down and which last price traded is also displayed under the LastDone column. Usually buyers or sellers make their offer somewhat depending on the last transacted price displayed under LastDone. And here is where and when the monkeydog plays his part, to influence an upward or a downward trend depending on whether his boss is selling or buying accordingly. If his boss aims to sell he will try to keep the last traded price up with a minimum one lot buy up; or he will try to keep the last traded price down with a minimum one lot sell down if his boss is buying. This one-lot transaction is very evident when a counter is very active, it appears counter to the trend of trading. Investors who do not see this one lot transactions will not know that the last buy up or sell down was maintained with a scarificial transaction of one lot only. And what is one lot when huge gains are made with multiple lots encouraged with this scarifice. It is another kind of Phishing.
Dogs serve their masters and it pays to know what the monkeydog is doing.
