Getting Pinged

Trying to work out the mark up on the close price, adding 1%, checking the spot price, placing a CFD buy trade and getting my boarding pass to the stewardess all at once was quite interesting. I got 2 tips from Specutip at 8.30am, did my sums on the back of my boarding pass, placed 2 buy trades and got on the plane for Jhb.

When I arrived in Jhb I called Deal Stream and asked if my orders had been filled. The trader. who said I should get an automated sms when a trade was accepted, checked and confirmed I was not on the sms list (persona non grata)... he registered me and said I'd be sms when activity took place on my trades.

I checked spot prices with him and placed sell prices for the 2 share into the market.

What a great sound as the sms "pinged" in my pocket, telling me I had sold out of a position at a profit. I got "pinged" 6 times today...a good day in the market. I didn't sell out of any positions at a loss, as I didn't have any stop losses on my trades. All "pings" are good news! - well today anyway.

BLOG about "BUYING TIME" and making sure you "BANK IT!!"

My life has been an adventure with many milestones, with many directions and ambitions, but the one underlying theme been "BUYING TIME". I believe time is a commodity which can be bought like any other commodity, and can be stored up and used at will later in life.

I am a businessman, an entrepreneur, and hope my journals will give you hope, that's it is possible to live your dreams.

In this site you'll discover two terms I use frequently, "BUYING TIME" and "BANK IT!!", a term I share with my life long friend, photo journalist Roger Horrocks.

I know that these two sayings will enrich your life and define it as a life with purpose, if you grasp them with both hands and embrace their concept.
