泰国浅旅 2009/08/30

为什么称为浅旅呢?因为走完这一趟后,觉得至少还可以再来5次,才会对它的文化有深一点的了解。加上语言不通,少了许多乐趣。

上次台湾之旅,比较多照片,这一次,文字会多一点。

2009/08/30 4.00pm : 到达Phuket Airport. 一阵喧哗。到处都是Taxi 的Service provider. 网上看到到达Patong Beach 是 500 B, 不过还是给人唬了,650B , 到最后 550B. 后来才发现,外面的,价钱从550B起跳。所以最后应该可以减到500B。

2009/08/30 5.00 pm : 到达Patong Beach Resort. 27 SGD 一晚。奇怪的是,原来在网上订购,还比现场便宜。下次一定要网上订购。现场订要1000B一晚,晕倒。

2009/08/30 5.15 pm : 饿到七彩,赶快去吃东西。一路上,有很多按摩女郎,在招揽客人,感觉很红灯。吃Pat tai. 吃的时候,还看到两个疯狂的年轻人,沿途跟人家说,叫鸡很爽,还抚摸下体。真的是 -__-|||. 我还拍了他们的照片。
2009/08/30 6.00 pm: 忘了说,其实当地时间,慢我们这里一个小时,所以其实当时只是5.00 pm 而已。Patong Beach 很大,风也很大。不过我相信他不是最美的。
2009/08/30 7.00pm : 去Patong Beach 最热闹的街,不过它好像还没醒。
泰国独有的Mc Donald 叔叔
2009/08/30 8.00 pm : The night is still young, 所以我们先去吃了。很特别的饭。
2009/08/30 9.00 pm : 去看Tiger show. 500B 一个人,本来打算说去见识一下,哪里知道货不对板。简单说明,就是随便派几个女子,在上面跳舞。跳了几分钟,再换四个。有些已经是老阿姨了,真的是晕。然后就表演。Ping Pong, banana, balloon 之类的。 跟之前想象的落差很大。带着希望进去,失望出来。

2009/08/30 10.00 pm : 遇到一堆人妖,被(他/她)们捉住要拍照。只好拍了。100B每个人。晕。
过后,就回家了。终结第一天,花了很多钱,而且很多都是不甘心的被 diok 的。真的是很会砍人,可能之前一直去那些文化之都旅行,所以来到这里,有一点不习惯。

Good Bye risky doggie

I should wrote this article earlier, early July, when I get burn from sudden trend change from bear to bull, with GS better than expected earning announcement. Eroding all the gain, with > 70% of initial capital, I start thinking am I betting too much, too much than I can afford to.

Start then, I decide to think back, and invest on fundamental stock. Really cannot get used with the portfolio only fluctuating <1% every day. When the age grow, we are not able to take risk as we are young. When our portfolio is 10k, we can put 100% in the options, but when our portfolio is 100k, we cannot do the same.

So many veteran investor i met, told me to invest, and not gamble. But, when you earn money from it, you thought you got the method, you think all is in your control, and trade bigger and bigger. This is the most common mistake amateur failed to do, position sizing, especially when you trade in high risk position.

I am old, and cannot afford to lose big money anymore. I will focus of manageable position, and only put small portion on trading high risk counter. Kiss good bye, risky doggie.
