Yes, it was my birth anniversary - January 18th - when my “new year” started. The time of the year when I do my self-evaluation, reflection and again, thankful for another year to prove my existence in this world. 
Thankful for my family, my friends, my network. All proofs of my existence.
And yes, as always, this year will be better. There will always be opportunities to every problems, solutions to any challenges, joy for every sorrow and so on.
My birth anniversary - my new year. Thank you Lord!

“Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others,
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing,
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart’s possessing,
Returns to you glad.”
– John Greenleaf Whittier

Have you bought a stock, bond, or mutual fund only to watch it go down and wait for that time to sell it once you “break even”?
Have you been told by an agent that it’s the great time to buy because all issues (especially blue chips) are cheap, only to find out after a few days that these issues just became “cheaper”?
Are you already getting dizzy with reading and joining different forums just to come out with a “concession” for you to finalize your “decision” on whether to buy or sell an issue already?
Sounds familiar? It happens to a lot of us. And I’m sure it’s happening to some of the investors now.
I made this study sometime last week of September and knew that it was really going to be a bad market. Target downside was achieved last October 23 when the market closed at 1,995 points.
So, what are we doing now?
Well, we’re still teaching people about Technical Analysis. We believe that this is the time for them to learn and realize what happened to them and be responsible for their trades.
Those who saw this got prepared, either cut their losses and liquidated. Some are still stuck though because of fear and greed and hope. It really pays to know your technicals.
Mabuhay!
