Don’t forget: Buy and forget it
It is a frustrating two weeks. I was bored and tweaked my portfolio two weeks ago (selling off CHRT at 7.35 and it close 9.16 today) and I pay dearly for my mistake. It is not that I am angry with the lost gain. I mean I didnt lose any money on the trade and […]

Dyson on the world of blogging
Here is a rant from Esther Dyson, the editor of Release1.0 on Goggle of Blogging, Technorati. Although the premise of the blog world is decentralized, bottom-up, user-centered content, the value of Technorati-like services is in clustering: helping users to find like-minded people, or unlike-minded people with similar interests. (Incidently, a little bird told me in […]
