Here I am on Saturday night working on this blog and seeing as it is my birthday, it is not really how I would have liked to pass the hours. But in Lockdown Windsor on a miserable wet evening, this is pretty much as exciting as it gets……..
Obviously I don’t want to spend ages on this and I am really eager to get looking at the Charts because the Markets were pretty truculent last week and I want to get a good sense of where we are most likely to go next. I put some Shorts on the FTSE100 to hedge my Portfolio at the end of the week and hopefully this puts me in a good position to ride out any more rocky waters (see my ‘Trades’ page on WD1 for the details).

From what I can tell those words are the title of an album by Lewis Capaldi and it did make me smile (to be fair, he probably didn’t mention BGO). I heard it during an interview with Ken Bruce on Radio 2 the other day and although I am no fan of his ‘work’, I must say Lewis was a great interviewee and has a charming self-deprecating manner.
I am so pleased to be about 95% ‘fixed’ now and incredibly the root of my difficulties seems to have been because a Doctor had told me to take Senna Tablets (nothing to do with Ayrton Senna but they do make you go fast !!) which are clearly quite a powerful laxative. I always assumed they were pretty mild because they are just chopped up and dried plant stuff, but I learnt the hard way that they are seen as quite ‘aggressive’ by the Health people.
Peter C3 and myself had been planning to have a ‘Guest’ on an episode of the infamous, award breaking, ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast for ages and never really got around to it; until C3 had this genius idea to coincide with our Xmas output, of having a sort of opportunity for a Listener to appear in a future episode with us.
The basis for choosing who was going to attend was based on a simple Tweet response to explain why the Listener enjoyed Investing, and then we looked through the responses and chose one that stood out for the deep meaning within it and the simplicity of the message. Anyway, we had never spoken to Ryan before (although we have both interacted with him textually on Twitter) and of course we ran a huge risk of picking someone who really wouldn’t make an enthralling episode.
I’m hoping I can complete this Blog but there is a real possibility I will have to abandon it partly written !! Sadly I am still suffering from these tedious health problems and what I believed was caused by a Bladder Infection seems to be continuing despite the Infection being cleared up with Antibiotics. I have no idea what is wrong and unless I have a miracle recovery tomorrow (I am typing this on Saturday Night), I will be talking to my GP again on Monday with regards to what can be done next and I suspect a Blood Test is needed and maybe that will highlight a problem.
Anyway, I will do what I can, but it is very awkward trying to sit at my desk and type and if it gets too uncomfortable, then I will have to abandon it. I will try to keep this short and get it done as fast as I can with a focus on updating the usual ‘admin’ type stuff and hopefully looking quickly at some Charts. |
