Shiny, Shiny

My sister’s company raffled out a Chevrolet and I was  crossing my fingers, hoping and praying  that she wins. As her luck would have it, she didn’t. Well, so much for my plan of giving her chevy accessories.  It could easily have been chrysler accessories; what, a girl can dream!

One of these days, I promise myself that I’m going to save enough money so I can buy my own car. It doesn’t have to be anything flashy, I don’t really need cadillac accessories, but I want something red and shiny. It doesn’t have to be brand new, but it has to work like a brand-new car because I know squat about mechanics and car troubleshooting. My greatest fear about driving, except for unfortunate accidents, is my car breaking down or having a flat tire. It doesn’t matter if it happens somewhere remote or somewhere filled with people, although the latter is always better. Too much hassle, too little know-how and car-fixing skills.

Stock Options Trading

A friend of mine recently fessed up about trying the stock market once. That totally surprised me because I’ve never seen him as the type that is interested in stock options trading. That was before recession took a hit to the world and people are still brave in investing money. I’ve always thought about doing just that although I have zero knowledge about that whole side of business. Truth be told, I have zero knowledge about business. Period. Anyway, my friend’s trial didn’t work out. I guess I’ll need other tips for options trading mentoring or something. The thing is, in such a time like this when people are always nervous about losing jobs or finding it so hard to have supplemental income, it’s kind of hard to take risk on new things. But not taking risk will just keep us wondering, anyway, so if we can take some calculated ones, I guess that would be okay. 

I guess there are books about these things. Like a Dummy’s guide or something.  There is a “Dummies” book for almost everything, right? From the simplest thing to the more complicated ones.  I haven’t tried buying one, though, so I can’t judge for now if those tips work. Maybe I’ll also check those out sometime. Now maybe this is really not the best time to deal on something as risky as stock option trading. I just thought that having at least an understanding might be a good thing.
