I just routed myself home by way of the Watson’s Deli shop in my neighborhood market place, and I got the following provisions: (a) American Starbucks ice mocca (b) China-made Danone yogurt (c) Australian raisons and sun flower seeds (d) Greek black olives (e) Italian garlic salami (f) German herbal brie cheese (g) English smoked cheddar cheese (h) French Hermitage Red, vintage 1999 (i) French duck / orange pate (j) American ‘Wine De Texas’ – a/k/a Coca Cola (k) Fresh baked round bread will be delivered in the morning (l) I will make some lobster soup before lunch I have also loaded my CD player with happy positive energy music: (a) Cairo to Casablanca by Putumayo label (b) Mediterranean Odyssey by Putumayo (c) Cape Verde by, yes, again, Putumayo (d) Women of Latin America by, you guessed it, Putumayo (e) Islands by, yikes, once more, Putumayo (f) Blue Venture Soca compilation featuring ‘Chances’, ‘Sugar Factory’, ‘Bacchanal’, ‘Maximus Dan’, and more I will stay home tomorrow, arrange the natural airflow to ‘full maximum throughput’ by opening windows in all directions, take an early morning swim, power shower, gyrate to energy music, pump Starbucks ice coffee through my organic system, and furiously play on-line HK Stock Exchange Last Man Standing trading session. I intend to fully savor the thrill of bull market in all businesses China, including its technically insolvent insurance companies. I hope to extract enough moolah via cyber stealth by 12:30 Exchange lunchtime break from the PICC (People’s Insurance Company of China) Property & Casualty IPO finance.yahoo.com IPO. The US ADR should be issued before the end of 2003, allowing more to take their chances with fortune and despair. I plan to take an one hour nap after lunch, and be at the PC wagering again by 2:00pm afternoon session open, have a good time, and close up shop by 4:00pm, then a wind-down swim, followed by happy nap accompanied by John Williams guitar music and visions of ill-gotten gain. Should tomorrow be a success in aggregating moolah, I can then look forward to more Chinese insurance and bank IPOs in the near future. Every one of the IPOs will doubtless be a winner, clamored for by eager investors, with tears flowing down their adorable faces, willing to risk wealth and lose sleep, all to revive the Chinese financial companies’ survivability quotient. Chugs, Jay P.S. I will remember to change the batteries on my wireless keyboard and mouse tonight. Cannot afford to lose control of PC tomorrow :0)
