It's another beautiful cloudy day without rain, which enabled me to dress my jacket made in Italy I bought back more than 20 years ago. However, the weather has been cool enough during this week, I hope sunshine to be fully spread in Seattle this weekend, then I will grill salmon and bake potato while drinking the wine made in Walla Walla Valley and watching Sounders' home match hosting Crews on Saturday.
I successfully managed to eat the other half bag of chips to go through the day without going out to buy anything else. My cash outflow today was zero and I checked my credit card transactions online, my son didn't spend any money either, though he must buy food at cafeteria on campus through his dinning account, which had been prepaid in early April. Yes, the cash outflow for the whole family on Thursday was zero. My mortgage payment is always scheduled on 28th but it hasn't be drawn from my bank account. What an accomplishment!
It's been an intensive and long day but I still couldn't nail down one task completely because of overwhelming. I need to go back to the office very early in the morning to wrap it up. The hope is that I may call Friday off very early to embrace the weekend: Barbeque, BPL, Bundesliga, MLS, Mariners, HBO, StarZ and Presidential Campaign.
Coming back home, I pulled the mail from mailbox to see the renewed business registration for my LLC. I had rarely worked for anyone else when I was young, though constantly dealt with large organizations, so I am an entrepreneur by heart. Too bad, I don't really care money unless when I need it, so I have never been a great businessman in terms of pulling as much money as I can into my own pocket, in this regard, I am actually an excellent employee for others. The original purpose to registering this LLC is to build up my own hedge fund by focusing on betting long term options, which is my expertise. The source of the initial funds was targeted to the compensation of my property in Chaoyang District, Beijing my parents bought under my name in early 90s but demolished by local government for new development. My Dad was requested to go back to Beijing two year ago and stayed there for half a year to finalize a very mediocre deal. Though it was much less money than originally expected, I would still be able to pay off the mortgage, buy a new car, secure all funds for my son's educational expenses through the graduation of a master degree, put the rest of the total compensation into this LLC trading account to make us a multimillionaire family again in 15 years. As I shared before, Chinese local government never executed the agreement. So, I am still waiting. The name of this LLC came from the name of the street where I lived in Chicago when I pursued MBA degree in late 90s. The studies led me to thoroughly observe and research US Markets again after 10 years. Meanwhile I traded so many Internet Stocks daily during that period of time: AOL, AMZN, YHOO, CMGI, EBAY, you name it. I am confident in building this LLC a successful fund in future. AMZN popped nicely after market as Facebook had done yesterday. Though I no longer trade it, may do it again after getting my compensation one day. I could be a very productive day-trader as well. During the summer in 2007, I took off from consulting projects for a month to take a break for two weeks, within the other two weeks, I made probably almost 20K out of 10K if I recall correctly. When I can't stare at the screen by monitoring the markets constantly, I am not able to make money in fast trade.
Last night, I went to gym pretty late but felt great. This morning, I checked my blood sugar which was 141. Though under 120 was desirable, it was not bad. Tonight after dinner, I was too tired to wake up until 11:00 pm, so didn't go because gym was closed. I need to go there after work on Friday.
Basketball coach at Indiana University made a very controversial comment while endorsing Trump. I presume him being sarcastic and am not sure if he was trying to help Trump or hurt him. From another perspective of being a basketball coach, he might try to downplay baseball. I had a plan to watch NBA final and broadcast my comments on Twitter, now, to play with him, I won't do it.
It's bad news that Sanders had to layoff hundreds Campaign staff due to unlikely nomination. He must feel so ironic himself being a socialist. Senator, you can't isolate yourself from a model capitalism country.
It is 2:05 AM now, I will leave home in 3 hours.
