    Hey there guys

    kudos to Emiliano for writing a book. I humbly and openly confess I am not able to do that.

    Both for intellectual limitations and frankly, I have nothing to say.

    Right now I am in a kind of idle state. Just like when you turn your computer in hibernation mode, just like that.

    What about you guys?

    Thanks

  2. emiliano says:

    Ja,ja, kudos?

    What is that?

    Thank you so much Dan, and yes, I am doing it, my dream for years.

    Who knows, may be you in future?

    Hello everyone

    On ESL 1048, Zoe is right when she said ” And risk losing my shirt?”. I’m familiar with how the stock market works, I started get in on stock market through IPO in 2007, just the last best year in this market and I bought a lots of shares at that year and you can image what happened since I didn’t have enough idea about stock market and 2008 was a terrible year since 1929 for the global economy. But I survived and after seven years I guess I know better about stock market.

    Thank you Lucy, you really writing about everything.

    Hi Dan

    Happy Birthday to you!

    You see, I haven’t forgotten your birthday.

    The funny thing is, I realised today is also one of my old classmates’s birthday.

    She’s very clever and very pretty.

    Today is also one of my friend’s very attractive daughter’s birthday. She’s a very young grandmother (my friend is a very young great grandmother) who got married for the first time in her life around this time last year.

    So, my daughter, my friend’s daughter, my classmate, and you all share one thing in common. That’s great!

    Have a Great Birthday!

    Betty 🙂
