A week or so ago my wife was looking for a pair of Puma running shoes online and the price she saw in u.s dollars was $90. At the malls in the Toronto area they were asking about $120 CAD plus 14% tax. So on a recent business trip to Houston, Texas to attend a tradeshow I went to the Galleria mall in Houston, Texas. When I was at the Galleria mall I located a Women’s Footlocker and they had the Puma shoes that she was looking for called the Cell Therid.

Just like any other mobile tech worker out there, my company needs me to be accessable at all times. So several days ago, my BlackBerry Curve 8310 finally arrived. What is great about the BlackBerry 8310 Curve is that it is the smallest BlackBerry of the bunch that offers a QWERTY keyboard, so it fits nicely in my pocket or feel less bulky on my belt. Also when I talk with it, it doesn’t look like I am talking into a brick like the BlackBerry Pearl which is bigger.

Today mark the 1st week at my new job. Although working for myself (internet business and trading) was fun over the last 1 year and 1 month it did not necessarily make a lot of money. In the end I realized that making a living trading is very difficult and not everyone can do it. You have very little control over the market and therefore having a consistent stream of income to pay the bills can be difficult. As for the internet business, I realized that this may take some time to build all the websites up to a point where they can generate an income that I can live off of.  I am not going to stop those two activities however, I will continue doing those things on a part-time basis from now on, on my own free time.

Year 2007 as the title of this post suggest was an extremely volatile year for me. At the beginning of 2007 I watched on CNN a gentleman from Hong Kong, talking about the Chinese pig or boar zodiac, and calendar prediction for 2007. The man said that usually years ending with the number 7 are very volatile, and he also mentioned that 2007 has metal, fire and water elements associated with it. Well, when you mix hot metal and water you get a lot of sizzle and volatility and that is exactly what I got for 2007.

As promised, here are a listing of option trades I made on Apple (AAPL). Apple’s stock and option contracts are great to trade when it experiences some weakness. When the stock price takes a hit down to near its stock price major support level, and all the technical indicators (MACD, Forecast Oscillator and DMI) on the chart looks to be all in line, I have been buying some DITM CALL option contracts, then selling the options when it rises near AAPL stock price resistance level. Today, AAPL was down in early trading about $5 or 4% to $137.50. However, it has come up a bit since.

I read an article recently about people who are in their fifties looking for work that get passed up because of their age. Employers are choosing the younger workers over the older potential applicants even though this practice of ageism is illegal. Age discrimination is illegal when it comes to hiring practices, but very often this type of discrimination is very hard to prove in court and because of this it is commonly practiced by individuals who are in the position of power to hire employees.
