kiva

Do you know "kiva"?

It's a microfinance non-profit organization that mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

I thought that this site has some good schemes.
I could select some partner who the site writes down their activity, country and more information. If I donate to them I usually don't know what to use. But this program is different.

And I felt that the long tail effect for internet technology has huge power.

Wordbook

I make a wordbook for learning English.

Because I need to refer to my dictionary a lot when I write posts on my blog. But I don't have a chance using word of refer to my dictionary everyday. So I almost forget what word mean. I referred the same word many number of times.

I made my wordbook on Google documents. If I made it online, I can check it anywhere.

Since 578

What's since 578? It is a oldest inauguration of business in Japan (maybe world's oldest) and it's Kongō Gumi Co., Ltd (金剛組) for over 1400 years!

The work contents of this family-owned company was a carpentry that they constructed and repaired Shinto shrines and temples.

The company collapsed under huge money in debt in 2006. But now other company helped and they start a new company.

Margin Trading

I'm learning about the point of view of stock chart. I want to try it. And now, I think that Japan's market is a bear market. And I'm ready to margin trade at the securities company.

I think that I use 3 signals of stock chart.
  • The 1st is MACD (moving average convergence and divergence).
  • The 2nd is Bollinger band.
  • The 3rd is moving average line.
But I basically think buy-and-hold strategy such as famous investor Warren Buffett.

ประเทศไทย -The Land of Smiles-

Now, I'm waiting for the company van. Because, today is Saturday. So I reserved it yesterday, but it didn't come for 30minutes.

I'm not angry in Thailand because this is the land of smiles and "maipenrai " is mean that it's "no problem". Thai people are often using this phrase with smiles.

I called the company, a van nearly come here.

ประเทศไทย -Without Me-

I am in Thailand. Now I arrived at the hotel.

Today, I waited for the company van at Bangkok airport. But it didn't come... I was concern. I had a mobile but it didn't have a SIM card. I bought it and call my company. He confirm to SO. He call back me, he said ''van went back to the hotel, other co-worker picked up. they went to the hotel without me!!'

Oh my god!! I took a taxi and went to a hotel...
That's too bad from first day.

Work on a holiday

Today, I went to work on a holiday after a few weeks. I will go on a business trip. So, I must make some handouts.
Before a business trip, I always have a lot of things to do.

But I think, did you really needs to go to work on a holiday. Why I didn't finish it on the weekday? How was my operating effectiveness? I must think about it once again.

If I contrive ways to work, it's my guess that I finish it on a weekend.

Cherry blossom shed

The cherry blossom shed this week in the Kanto area. Because there were strong winds and a lot of rainy days.

The life of cherry blossoms are short. So I think many people likes it.

In Japan, usually new term is April. This season tends to start new things.

Lefe like old age

I didn't have a holiday work for a few weeks. I spent learning investment and taking a walk on the weekend.

I talk with a co-worker at lunchtime at the office. He said that it is your life like old age... He spend active holiday surfing and fishing every weekend!

I thought he is absolutely right. It was very amusing.

Why Japanese Stock Market is falling?

Last week, I posted about the Japanese Stock market. When asked why the Japanese Stock market is falling, I thought that the reason for the credit crunch was the US subprime mortgage crisis.

I studied other reason in this week.
When US fund try to make a tender offer for a Japanese company, poison-pill succeeded by Supreme Court's decision.

In short, foreign investor thought that Japan doesn't welcome foreign capital.
