Meditations on an Eyeball: August 2009
http://meditations-on-an-eyeball.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Meditations on an Eyeball. Sunday, August 30, 2009. The Absence of God—Love in Inaction. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus. Was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. It's hard to imagine Jesus not leaving immediately when he hears of this illness. But he chose to wait. Earlier, when Jesus was in Cana an official asks that he travel to Capernaum (located 20 miles away) to heal his son. Jesus sends him home, saying,. Perhaps the delay and ...

CDN Trader: July 2008
http://cdn-trader.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. After some excitement last week, it is back to waiting again. Waiting for the markets to finally collapse. Last Tuesday there was a brief moment when it looked like it might. MARKET POSITION: EQUITIES - short SPX (5 units); short S&P/TSX (5 units); short EAFE (3.5 units); short energy (2 units); short real estate (2 units). Monday, July 14, 2008. Sunday, July 13, 2008. Sunday, July 6, 2008. Performance to 4 July 2008. I remember the old trader's maxim: do not sell a stock just beca...

CDN Trader: May 2008
http://cdn-trader.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2008. I funded the trade by selling one unit of HGU (gold). Gold has had a nice run over the last month, but I fear it too is getting near its top. A return to $1,000 is looking unlikely (in the short-run). I will probably look to exit my other gold position over the next 1-2 months, depending on price action. MARKET POSITION: SHORT EQUITIES (10 units); SHORT REAL ESTATE (3 units); LONG GOLD (1 unit); SHORT ENERGY (1 unit). Sunday, May 18, 2008. Everyone's confused (me too). 1 Never pu...

CDN Trader: Quick mid-week post
http://cdn-trader.blogspot.com/2008/10/quick-mid-week-post.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. In terms of the broader indices, there seemed to be about an even chance that SPX could fall by about 10% (to its 2002 low) or jump 20% higher. Those are pretty good odds that one does not see very often. As it turned out, I was luckly in my timing, as the market exploded upwards late in the day Tuesday. Certainly did not expect that! All in all, it's been a good few days, and my portfolio is up another 9% since last Friday, and is up 34% since the end of September. Ideal hold...
