Jumping onto a cloud of faith.

Wonderful things happened this evening! I received my iBanking device from DBS. That's a surprise because I thought I screwed up my online application for it. The guide said this particular set of numbers on my debit card, but I entered another set. Additionally, I did see that I need to print and mail the application to them for verification. But hey the device came, I was able to remember the pin I chose, completed the iBanking registration and also the premium for my Medishield cover. It was a good load off my back!

Well, quite alot of things happened at work today. I got a warning again from the Indian lady who said my stock picking is slow. But it's all about relativity in smaller numbers! When 4 products divide by 2 min, it may seem like it's taking too long. But if you take 40 items divide by 2min, you think it's super fast. But if between that 40 items, 20 goes to one place and other 20 goes to another place. It's normal speed. And, when we write 1:59-2:01, it means 2 mins to a simple-minded person. But to me, that could mean a range between approximately 1 minute and 3 minutes ! Imagine you start at 1:59:59 and end at 2:01:00. That's 1min 1 sec. If you start at 1:59:00 and ends at 2:01:59, that's 2 mins 59secs. So the margin of difference at the smaller timings may seem to reflect a slow working rate if you see it that way. Finally she and another co-worker gathered all the stock picking ppl for a discussion. Both of them wanted to know why we're so slow and how we can become faster. But we all picking the stock know that it's not possible to pick their targeted 600 stock per hour. It's only possible when you're the only one picking the stock, and all the boxes are empty. That's the ideal situation. But get back down to reality lah!
And finally I told the floor boss "Lao Da" that I'm doing my final week next week.

I still feel bloated! But whatever, I'm going to gym in the morning tomorrow. Then work from 2.30 to 8.30pm.

About the stock and options market, it's getting more ridiculous. 2 days up, 2 days down ! It is probably better if I didn't enter any trades. But I did! 3 put-side positions yesterday when SPY closed higher !
