A Room with a View

New York City - nothing quite like it.

My positions are flying

LIKE A CANNON BALL!
AND IT HURTS...

Look at the mild winter we've been having. How can the price of oil be going up that much again?! The Chinese, I'll bet. Imagine what will happen if their demand persists and next winter becomes really cold?

Avisen.dk featured on Springwise

So, our newspaper project made it onto the latest edition of Springwise.

It seems that one of the 8.000 Springspotters from over 70 countries spotted the site. The news has since spread to more than 210.000 business professionals in more then 120 countries. I wonder who gave them the hot tip?

Back in Black

Here are the profits I have made from trading so far (in DKK):

Longs:
Ford Motor Co: 11.899,58
Natural Oilwell: 6.984,80
Alcatel-Luce US: 4.798,08

Shorts:
Cisco: 33.890,35
Dow Jones (index): 1.630,47

Total profits realized: 59.203,28

Here are the losses:
Long:
Alcatel-Luce US: -9.262,56

Short:
Petroleo Brasil: -1.424,12
Dow Jones: -780,09

Total realized trading results: 47.736,51

However! I still have a few nasty open positions. If I close these postions I will incur a net loss of: -38.729,28.

Add to that the interest I've been paying on the CFD-trading etc - and I come out with something close to a 0,00.

What I need now is for Statoil to perform and Petroleo Brasil to take a dive.

To continue a disussion I've been having at the office ..

The goal of advertising is not to be liked, to entertain, or to win advertising awards; it is to sell products!

Hence, the biggest mistake you can ever make as an advertising professional is to judge advertising as laypeople judge it. If you do, you'll end up as an artist or an entertainer - but not as a salesperson. And then your work will be a waste of the client's time and money.

Back from Vacay

Vacation was great. Mike Lee imagined that I was:
frolicking like a gay lark on the beaches of mauritius... so carefree, like a gentle summer's breeze on a cloudless day...

Right on the money!

Now I'm back - only to discover that I really should have closed my positions on the Saxo Trader. Lost about 12.000 USD on Petroleo Brasil alone. Very, very uncool!
