I guess this is very good advice there is no point thinking hard about the past, it's gone and the future begins today. Just live today fully is a very good advice.
Some people forecast many problems that never happen and they agonize while think about bad outcomes. I am not like this guy at all.
“Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.”

What i tend to do is to accept whatever god sends. And this is very liberating. Just live today with what god gives you. It's a lot.

ECB poised for battle to ward off deflation
Where are located the Brands, monopolies, biotech, etc.... USA, Germany Switzerland, etc... The center is benefiting from Globalization. We see people on the streets on some EM but their leaders can't do nothing. It's a battle difficult to win.

Nintendo & Best Buy

Nintendo & Best Buy just missed earnings big time. To me it's no surprise because i Blogged about Best Buy in December. No way they are going to match Amazon. sexta-feira, janeiro 17, 2014 David Barradas 0 Comments
http://thoughtmeme.blogspot.pt/2013/12/how-to-beat-amazon.html
Best Buy slumped 31% in opening trading after the company reported an unexpected 0.9% decline in U.S. comparable sales. The company said its price matching and other promotions to stay competitive also came with a higher-than-expected cost. Its fourth-quarter adjusted operating income rate as a percentage of sales will be as much as 1.85 percentage points lower than last year. Best Buy, which promoted mobile phones aggressively, said the market also turned out disappointing.

About Nintendo i just can say my kids play on the I-pod & PlayStation. As Peter Lynch used to do just look at home & the people you know. I think Nintendo is also a short.

Accomplished Silicon Valley investor Vinod Khosla likens modern healthcare to witchcraft, and says technology will replace 80 percent of doctors.quinta-feira, janeiro 16, 2014 David Barradas 0 Comments
His views, offered up in a talk last week in San Francisco, sparked outrage from doctors.
http://venturebeat.com/2012/09/02/vinod-khosla-says-technology-will-replace-80-percent-of-doctors-sparks-indignation/
No surprise here, since with the same set of symptoms and exams 10 different doctors can diagnose 5 completely different problems !
Khosla said that machines, driven by large data sets and computations power, not only would be cheaper, more accurate and objective, but better than the average doctor

Aren't School grades a good predictor of future success?

Recently, I discovered that Pulitzer prize author Charles Duhigg says essentially the same thing in his 2012 book,“The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business.” terça-feira, janeiro 14, 2014 David Barradas 1 Comments
At the core of that education is an intense focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of studies show that willpower is the single most important keystone habit for individual success. In a 2005 study, for instance, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania analyzed 164 eighth-grade students, measuring their IQs and other factors, including how much willpower the students demonstrated, as measured by tests of their self-discipline.An excellent synonym for willpower is self control. Another one is conscientiousness. It should not be necessary to point out that conscientious, self-controlled schoolchildren behave well in school. Nor should we be surprised that classroom behavior robustly predicts present and future success.
Students who exerted high levels of willpower were more likely to earn higher grades in their classes and gain admission into more selective schools. They had fewer absences and spent less time watching television and more hours on homework. “Highly self-disciplined adolescents outperformed their more impulsive peers on every academic-performance variable,” the researchers wrote. “Self-discipline predicted academic performance more robustly than did IQ. Self-discipline also predicted which students would improve their grades over the course of the school year, whereas IQ did not.… Self-discipline has a bigger effect on academic performance than does intellectual talent.”

Still Deflation, the GaveKal Price indicator is at -7 the minimum on the scale. It's possible that we see CPI near zero in 2014. I don't see the FED ending QE soon.sexta-feira, janeiro 10, 2014 David Barradas 0 Comments
Why are we in a deflation trap?
a)Automation & Technology make it cheaper to produce
b)Unemployment is huge
c)Excess capacity everywhere
I agree with this view. Treasury yields will not go trough the roof.

As luck would have it, the good habits that make you healthy and energetic help to make you happy at the same time, so it’s a double win.segunda-feira, janeiro 06, 2014 David Barradas 1 Comments

I agree 100% with Scott Adams. I think the best investment you can make is to stay healthy. Why? Because when you are healthy and in good shape you fell happy, confident and the people you interact with notice it. In my country the Ministry of Health should be called the Ministry of Sickness because they only care about the sick people. The Ministry of Sports (Doesn't exist) should be the real Health Ministry.
How do you stay Healthy? Health = movement+don't eat to much garbage food
If you move 90% of your Health problems disappear. Just move a bit every day on top of that my experience indicates that if you move depression disappears almost for ever.
To move is something that you can control, to stay healthy is something that you can control, many things in life are out of our control. This is in our control. So do it and be Happy.
New year resolutions
