Thought for the day

[jbocker]

The boy walks over to his dad and points to a glass with water sitting on the sink and asks
"Dad is the glass half full or half empty?"
"Depends," says Dad "on what you are doing"
"Daaaaad is the glass half full ...or is it half empty?!" demands the boy.
Depends... what are you doing? Dad asks.
"Huh?" says boy with screwed up face head tilted.
Depends! If you are filling it up its half full, if you are emptying it its half empty, otherwise it is just a half a glass of water.

Speculative shares are just like cats up a tree. The cat goes up and up and then wonders how to get down, Unable to muster enough courage to go down the only thing to do is to go further and further up. The option then is to stay there and hope for help to arrive or fall off and crash to earth. So often the speculative share just crashes back to earth perhaps stopping here and there caught in the branches of speculation.

Gold: Everyone of them true traders who are short are watching carefully and their eagles for the turning point.

Daily we come across many people who are smiling, but behind their smiles, they are going through struggles we don't know about, just because nothing is said doesn’t mean they aren't. Be careful how we treat others. Be kind

Do richer countries give to poorer countries just to stop the people from poorer countries from going to the richer countries and, are they either failing in this mission or just being overwhelmed not only by wars and famine but the fact that there are just too many babies being born?

My method of investing has always been like playing golf. Despite still playing quite a lot of poor shots that land in the rough my only improvement is my experience in getting out of trouble. My good shots are not so long as fatigue sets in but my shorter strikes are more often very well placed and I know the courses I play like the back of my hand. So study the markets you play and learn the going and changes in climate that so often land you in the water to be devoured as bad luck has it by alligators - good luck my friends.

'God's own country' is for all the population but not necessarily for the individual.
Parasurama threw his ax across the sea, and the water receded as far as it reached. According to legend, this new area of land extended from Gokarna to Kanyakumari. The land which rose from the sea was filled with salt and was unsuitable for habitation; so Parasurama invoked the Snake King Vasuki, who spat the holy poison and converted the soil into fertile lush green land. Out of respect, Vasuki and all snakes were appointed as protectors and guardians of the land.
Or is it just the Sutherland Shire?
In 1900 Aussies were very fashionable but in 2014 a bit of a motley crew.

Yes these days way too many are quick to tell you their plans, give you the expected results and probably have the excuses for not achieving them already written. ?
The self righteous, passive aggressive, modern day high achiever.

Unusual Friends​

The Fernandez family adopted a tiger cub after it had lost its
family. It has been raised with the family dog since infancy,
and they are inseparable.

Koko the gorilla is famous for having learned to communicate by sign-language.
For her birthday one year, she made signs to her teacher that she wanted a kitten.
Koko's teacher wasn't surprised, as Koko's two favorite books were about cats.
They adopted a kitten from an abandoned litter and Koko showed it
great care and gentleness.

After a family took in this stray cat, she grew fond of their
elderly dog. Realizing the dog was blind, the cat took on
the responsibility of leading the dog to his water, food, shade,
and toys. She would follow closely under his chin to guide him.
