4 Things That Need To Be Done


Yeah, I've just turned 35, which kinda sucks. So I've spent the last couple of weeks thinking about things--my studies, this blog, my investments, my life--and I have realized that some changes need to be made.

1. Invest more aggressively. Ever since I got here, the Hong Kong stock market has been nothing but boring. This more-or-less led me to liquidating most my investments a couple of weeks ago. And seeing that things have been doing very well for the Philippine stock market in the past several of months, I have decided to transfer a sizable chunk of what I own to that market. But I don't want to just hop on the bandwagon--I want to beat it, so I am going to pick a few select mining stocks and go ALL IN (I'm looking at you, GEO).

2. Live a little. What remains after investments, I will use to buy a new car. I've gotten tired of Hong Kong's public transportation system, it has become "too efficient" for me. So I'll use the money I have left (plus whatever I can borrow from the bank) to buy a new Audi A3.

3. Get a girlfriend, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ONE. I really hope the car would help.

4. End Investor Juan. I have already given more than two years of my life to this seemingly fruitless cause, and I have just reached a point when I feel that enough is enough. Now I just want to concentrate on finishing my studies and enjoy my life, because ultimately IT'S ABOUT ME AND NOT ANYONE ELSE. I guess nothing more needs to be said about that.


Wait, I lost track of time. What date is it again?
