Disney-5% since recommendation at April 15th.

The Dow Jones is as expected not the fastest horse in the barn these days but it all depends to the amount of capital to make a satisfying gain.:)
The chart:

Five % is still a lot more as costumers get on interest for saving acounts,five % in two weeks is even better.:)

The mentioned recommendation:

Alcoa-3 % since recommendation at April 15th.

This "heavy" blue chip is not the fastest mover in any direction,but they continued as predicted and Investors are 3% in the plus since i mentioned Alcoa in this posting:
http://lifeisajourney2010.blogspot.com/2011/04/alcoa-buy-for-long-term-investment.html
I would sell soon because as you see in this chart the trend is still valid but lost on strengh:

The €uro today

The €uro is now allmost at 1.49 and retraced a bit down from 1.4880:

I would sell my futures or options at 14950 and wait a while first,but in fact i've not much hope for the $ at all after the press conference of Ben Bernanke yesterday.
I guess the 1.50 will likely fall soon as well-it's getting cheaper day by day for us in Cambodia.:)

Google Chrome 11 has arrived

The upgrade to the new version is very recommended because of 24 important bug fixes as well as a integrated speech recognition.

The English version can be downloaded here:
http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer.html?hl=en

By the way,at this page many languages can be choosed on top before kicking off the download process.Don't miss to download only what you need.They are trying to add a bunch of additional stuff to the download as well.:)

Google is known for collecting infos about their users by tracking their webside usage.Since this is public i wouldn't use Google Chrome anymore.
For the Chrome 10 was the "Uncrome" programme available.Uncrome blocked the contact between the browser and Google(As XP Antispy blocks the contact to Microsoft).The company fixed that by disabling this software in this most recent release.

36 hours in the "darkness"

Our internet did quit the service two days ago at midnight.Metfone said it will work the day after tomorrow again,oh man!
This morning it didn't work anyway as promised.I went to their office and asked about it.
"They are all in a meeting right now,please come back later."
This was the moment when i went a bit louder and said that they can't efford a meeting anymore pretty soon,if they have lost all costumers through this lack of costumer service!
That oviously helped and the tecnitian fixed the problem as fast as Speedy Gonzales can run!
After beeing back in the internet i saw that the stockmarket made a nice jump meanwhile,great!

Every fourth between 35-65 is dying through Alkohol

Today at N-TV.de:

The sitiuation is dramatic says the central office for addictions.Responsible is the politic as well."

Investmentfonds

This morning when we had our coffee at the Oechheteal beach i talked to a gentleman from Europe who is making up his mind how he could make a living in Cambodia.He seems to be a nice guy,so why not helping him a bit.
I offered to check the top performers for him and will introduce him the investment later in the afternoon.
After few minutes i found what i was looking for-a high quality 5 star Investmentfond of DWS,investment core area Germany.The fond is among the best performers of European fonds since a long time.
The DWS Deutschland ten year chart:

http://www.dws.de/DE/facts/FactSheetOverview.aspx?FundId=426
This Asset is moving allmost as volatile as the market itself.Therefore the investment needs to be treaten like a buy of individual stocks and sold imidiately when it get's bumpy-The stockmarket isn't a oneway street.:)

At next i'll check the best Russian and China fond for him.

My personal global orientated fond investment strategy would be divided this way:

50 % Germany (The best performing European market)
25 % Russian blue chips (Had no time yet to compare the different fonds)
25 % Chinese emerging markets ( "" )

I'm not doing Investment fonds at all anymore since 11 years and trade individually instead.This requires 0.5 to 14 hours work per day and the market is "my boss".

The Investmentfond strategy is a more than adequate alternative for investors who don't want to put that much effort into it.:)

Addition:
After more research about Asian & Russian fonds i would not decide right now for investing in this markets,contrary to my first statement above.

A remarkable quality Fond from DWS investing in Asian small/midcap companies:

They are apparently talking a break since the beginning of 2011.No wonder after the outstanding performance in the privious year.
The facts sheed:

The approaching end of Europes social benefits

The Washington post this morning:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europeans-shift-long-held-view-that-social-benefits-are-untouchable/2011/02/09/AFLdYzdE_story.html?hpid=z2

In the likely following scenario i would rely definitely more on my guns than on insurances nor state provided safety alone.Who knows but maybe it's getting ugly-very ugly!

Be smart when it matters at most and arm yourself,learn to protect your family with a gun.
Ladies should learn of course shooting as well.( IPSC for instance )

Charity work

Today morning i joined a catholic Pastor for medicating the poorest of the poor.This efforts take place every Sunday in different villages and i intent to continue this work once a week.
We supplied medical treatment as well as healthcare advice like gymnastic against neckpain and so on in a fishing village close to the port and medicated within two hours more than 50 patients.
The pastors mission is urgently in need of drugs as well as helpers.

The following Sunday i'll put our efforts on Youtube to gain hopefully more supporters for the project.

Intel yesterday

If you followed my advice yesterday to buy Intel(i gave this recommendation hours before market opening)you made up to 7.8 % in one day!!!

They'll likely continue the rallye but a retracement after this plus is also possible.Keep this in mind if you intent to buy very soon.
At the time of my second advice they was still down at 1.22 % at 19.86 $:

Notebook offering in Phnom Penh

I suggest to compare this offering with the best you can find.The Toshiba price on the German page was 799 €uro,but with the 460M chip,just by he way.It's delivered without a Windows operating system,just how we would like it.:)
(XP Pro+SP3 is our operating system of choice at any computer.)

Wow,that was a good one today and i made the following month in 5 minutes-i do really love the stockmarket.:)

Microchips are coming back

Economy news:

The chart technic background looks quite convincing as well.:)

I allways recomment own research,gaining knowledge in the field stockmarket and stay on alert when you're invested.Get some good books of definitely sucessfull traders and investors.Take your time to learn through "theoretical papertrading"from expierences and so on.

I bought my first stocks after half a year learning via Comdirect online broker when i was 20 years old.My first trade with VW stocks went successfull and i made 13% in three weeks of the 7700 DM's i invested.:)Half of the gain went straight into the next bookshop,economy department.:)

The Bushido

While repeating knowledge about the Samurai code-the Bushido i just thought let's publish some details from Wikipedia for readers who are interested in Asian culture:
The five main requirements to a Samurai(Dōjōkun):

Faithfullness:
Towards the Emperor and the homeland
Towards the parents and respect.
Towards yourself as well as dilligence.

Politeness:
Love
Modesty
Etiquette

Braveness:
Hardness and Cold bloodedness
Patience and Persistence
Repartee

Openess and Honesty:
Sense for honor
Justness
Simplicity
Clarity
Wisdom through the study of warfare and philosophy.(文武両道, bumbu ryōdō)

The seven virtues:

Rectitude (義 gi)
Courage (勇 yū)
Benevolence (仁 jin)
Respect (礼 rei)
Honesty (誠 makoto)
Honor (名誉 meiyo)
Loyalty (忠義 chūgi)

Associated virtues

Filial piety (孝 kō)
Wisdom (智 chi)
Care for the aged (悌 tei)

To have violated these ideals meant for a Samurai to have to commit suicide until 1868(Seppuko 切腹)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido

The economy of Greece

What is still keeped behind the cutains in European newspapers are quite alarming facts:
Insurances and fone companies are most treatened by bancruptcy.The first vitcims are allready laying in the sand.
Many greeks began two weeks ago to withdraw their money in a rush from domestic banks in billions since this run started.
For instance two university clinics in Athen had to close medical services because they can't pay the stuff nor the drugs anymore.
The interest on Greece bonds took off and is right now at 18.4 % for the onces with 2 years validity.
The parlament is unable to take any actions exept accusing each other.The ruling coalition is breaking likely appart while new elections aren't planed for soon.

That was just the consense of a article about the current state of Greece economy.

Opera 11.10 Portable

After we downloaded the browser and imported the bookmarks from Firefox 4 we liked the Opera just better than the Chrome 10 after a while.The unique feeling while scrolling...
After a while we decided to deinstall the Chrome 10 and replace it through the new Opera,because one backup browser is plenty for us.:)
By the way:
As many readers for sure know it's suggested in computer magazins to take a portable version over a desktop variante if available,because the portable one is less interfering the system.

A busy Saturday

After time with the family i'm actualysing all the installed programms and still find some we don't need anymore to deinstall them.I keep the system as slim as possible and exept the 70GB personal files on the PC and of course the only OS(XP Pro)is everthing else saved on external HDD's plus the backup of the personal files included the software collection.
Three of our five partitions are empty and got recently fresh formated-more than 500GB.
The computer runs very fast and reliable this way.:)
I upgraded before allready:
Q-Dir Filemanager
For us a very important tool and the only one to organize the computer,open files and movies and so on.We don't open the Windows Explorer at all anymore.
(Install file is less than 0.7MB.)
SiSoftware Sandra
System Analisis-Detailed and helpfull program,finder of weak points within the system.(Install file 56MB)
Sumo Updater
Scans all installed software for actuality and manages the update,too.(Install file5MB)
HDDlife
Provides a insight in the condition of used HDD's.(Install file 6MB.)

I'm not done yet,but more than half the way.

Virus on your Computer ?

Then i would recomment to download a 60 day trial version of
Norton Internet Security 2011
,install it,update it and scan the PC afterwards with the integrated 'Scan Now' feature.
http://www.pcwelt.de/downloads/Anzeige-Norton-Internet-Security-2011-586871.html
If your partitions are containing any cracks,keygens etc,safe them to disk before even touching Norton,or he will likely delete them.:)

You should deinstall Norton after the trial period only with the
http://www.nortonremovaltool.org/
again.
Then restart the computer and install NIS for another 60 days right again with the privious described process.:)
P.s.:
We keep of course all installers of downloaded software well sorted in a seperate folder from where we can install anything right away.Our software collection is quite large,by the way.:)
