5. Warren Buffett Stock Basics
Here is the link.
18:00/ 19:30
The importance of patience and individuality
Patience
Anytime you find something that looks like massive return usually means massive risk
Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered
Patience is truly a virtue. Take your time don't try to get rich overnight. Never break your rules!
Individuality
Think for yourself - that's what all the great investors do!
I've often found that if I was doing what everyone else was doing.... I was probably doing it wrong.
In lesson five, we learned that Warren Buffett has four rules that he uses for investing in stocks. All the rules must be met in order for him to purchase shares of a company. Those four rules are the following: Rule 1: A stock must be stable and understandable Rule 2: A Stock must have long term prospects Rule 3: A Stock must be managed by vigilant leaders Rule 4: A Stock must be undervalued We also learned a very basic valuation technique that Warren Buffett used when he worked for Benjamin Graham. The technique multiplies the P/E ratio by the P/BV ratio and the result needs to be lower than 22.5. A key fundamental of Warren Buffett stock basics is the idea that the stock market is nothing more than a location where he can buy or sell his shares. The market only provides a platform for him to purchase undervalued companies. He always buys on the assumption that they stock market could close tomorrow and not open for five years ñ and it would have no impact on his decision to buy a particular company.

Finally, we learned that Warren Buffett possess great patience. He never tries to make enormous gains, but instead consistent gains at reasonable levels. He always thinks for himself and always determines the value of a stock based on what HE thinks a company is worth - not the market.

15 Reasons Why You'll Always Be Poor
Here is the link.
TIMESTAMPS: You spend too much money on your phone 0:55 You use shopping as therapy 1:59 You treat your credit card as if it were your own money 3:36 You don’t plan your vacations in advance 4:12 You pay for subscriptions 4:55 You don’t buy in bulk 5:35 You don’t join loyalty programs 6:27 You don’t haggle 7:00 You never ask for advice 7:30 You leave the lights on 7:56 You spend money on bad habits 8:30 You drive to places you could walk to 9:06 You buy clothes that don’t match the rest of your wardrobe 9:35 You start your day with coffee-to-go 10:17 You never have any money left by the end of the month 10:44
SUMMARY: - Mobile providers like to make long contracts with tons of small but important stipulations and limits that you might be completely unaware of. You could be using way too much data without even knowing it, and you’re likely paying a pretty penny for going beyond those limits. - If you feel the unstoppable urge to shop when you’re stressed out or depressed, it’s time to stop and give it some thought. - Credit cards are a great way to build up your credit, but it can be dangerously easy to use them irresponsibly. If you treat your credit card like a source of income, it might be high time to cut that thing into pieces! - Paid subscriptions to music and movie sources can be pretty expensive. More often than not, users have no idea that they’re subscribed to a paid service since it happens automatically. - There’s nothing wrong with buying a large number of goods at a discount, especially for non-perishables that can be stored for a long time. - Plenty of companies offer discounts and bonuses to regular customers. So it’d be silly not to take advantage of loyalty programs! - We all know that smoking, drinking, and fast food are bad for our health; no news here. But if you’re struggling to get by financially, then you just have to kick these bad habits! - Be smart with your style and make up a wardrobe consisting of fewer pieces that can be combined into lots of different outfits. Don’t neglect websites with second-hand items either. - A $5 latte on your way to work seems pretty harmless, right? Well, some simple math of multiplying 5 by 300 work days a year gives you $1,500 of hard-earned cash spent on your morning energizer. - If you keep running out of money long before it’s time to flip the calendar, I’ve got some bad news for you, my friend. You’re doing something wrong when it comes to planning your budget.

5 Things I Had to Give Up to Grow My Career
Here is the link.
Options
The silent killer of success
The best decision is to reduce optionality
Job hopping - learn and grow with one team
1. Other people's judgement
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
- Lao Tzu
Give other people to manipulate you.
2. Information overload
People today are in danger of drowning in information; but, because they have been taught that information is useful, they are more willing to drown than they need be.
- Idries Shah
3. What I thought I "should" become
Market - least practical decision
Learn how to adjust
4. My own judgement of other people
It is humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked. - Gillian Flynn
5. My desire to be perfect
The pursuit of perfection is a disguise for insecurity.
- Paulo Coelho

A tooth story
Feb. 24, 2019
It is a busy Sunday. I felt the swollen of an upper tooth. I should extract the tooth this January when I visited the dentist. I like to write a short story about the tooth.
I visited the dentist this January. And the dentist asked me the option, extract the tooth and pay $120.00 dollars. Or deep cleaning for $90 Canadian dollars. I chose to deep clean.
Now it is only one month passed. The tooth is so painful, and swollen. I decide to pull it out as soon as possible.

My financial plan
Feb. 24, 2019
It is my personal financial plan. I like to write down my financial plan 2019.
I like to live under my means. My grocery should be less than $300/ month. I need to continue to rent the same place to save money. I need to push myself to learn how to invest.
If I have pay check coming in as usual, I like to save at least 40% of income every month. I like to cut expense of vacation to less than $500.00 dollars.
I need to understand what relative means, say no to relatives. As a single woman, what should I do to prepare my living in Canada.

加州湾区生活是怎样的：一个典型湾区人的人生轨迹
Here is the article.
我85后，女马工，7年工作经验，在一家小初创公司，没股票，年薪14万。除去税和养老保险到手多少钱呢，我每个月到手工资6800*12 = 81600。这6800又是怎么分配的呢：
1。房贷2000*12= 24000
2。房产税+HOA = 13280
3。房屋保险+车保险 = 2000
4。电话费+煤气水电+网费 = 2400
5。汽油 + 保养 + licence renew= 3000
以上时必须消费的钱，就是没工资，这些钱必须交。
剩下4万，平均每个月有3700左右。这些钱抛出必须的人际交往，出去小规模旅游，回国探亲，每个月吃饭买菜的钱，大家可以算一算每年能攒15000已经非常不错了。
这算是我一个人没孩子，湾区一个孩子daycare一个月少说2000左右。一个人省省略有结余，要是已育有房基本月光。
I am working on personal finance research. I like to work on the above case, and see how t o work on investment based on my learning.
$86,000 dollars net income, $15,000 - pay herself first into investment, or saving.
$70,000 dollars goes to payment.
$70,000 dollars does not generate any passive income?
This is ridiculous stupid expenses.
再写一下我的老板，今年60，中国老头，没赶上所谓的互联网红利，但是做到小公司 VP 级别。开的是一辆马自达，大女儿大学私立之后，二女儿供不起了，只能读个公立。我 VP 当然也有中国老人的节省，天天带饭，穿的衣服我感觉是三十年前他出国的衣服。在 PALO ALTO 住，但只是 2B2B 的 townhouse。十几年前买的。前几天聊天说他 401K 才存了十几万，因为当时女儿读书用钱就没再存。

Principal application with Hong Kong office
Feb. 24, 2019
It is time for me to help the principle applicant to file documents. I spent over three hours to read and write, and then prepare things for the case yesterday.
It is so hard for me to work with 25 years old young Chinese male. I have to read the immigration letter dated on Feb. 20, 2019, and then translated word by word, and then paragraph by paragraph into Chinese. I shared the information through wechat.
Later I had to spend time to explain everything again in Chinese, and also explain every detail in wechat.
The young Chinese does not learn how to respect other people's hard working. He does not have work experience, and he does not understand the basics of politeness, and respect other people.
It is so hard for me to work with him.
I called his father twice, and his father told me that he would give his son a call to tell him take my call. I called again, he did not answer. And then I called his father again. He answered the first time.

Weeky contest 125 performance review
Feb. 24, 2019
I move my research to personal finance. But I still like to continue to work on algorithm and data structure if I have time. One thing is to review my weekly contest performance.
Weekly contest only has 90 minutes. I will have 4 algorithms to work on. Usually last algorithm is hard algorithm, I do not read at all to save time.
Last week the third algorithm is tree algorithm. My strategy is to work on any tree algorithm, since it can be really easy to write and also I push myself to master all tree algorithms. Usually they are very good algorithm to practice, and also I like to give out tree algorithm to interviewees on interviewing.io most of time.
Usually it takes me at least 5 five minutes to read one problem statement. If I cannot fully understand the problem, then I will have to take risk and learn from failed test case. It takes me extra time to pass online judge.
Right now, I do have time to write algorithm and data structure in weekdays, all week days after the work I have to push myself to learn personal finance, and also study more topics to explore the area first.
I do need to push myself to practice daily. It is difficult to build good habit to write code daily. But it is easy to break the habit. This time it is my personal finance research.
I spent 60 minutes to study lead board with ranking 1500 - 1700, I like to figure out some statistics related to those players with the score from 10 to 14.
My contest performance is here.

weekly contest 125
Feb. 23, 2019
It is my favorite weekly contest. I enjoyed the contest, and was happy to solve two algorithms. I like to write a blog to document my performance.
I wrote the third algorithm first. I really like to challenge myself on tree algorithm, since I interviewed over 100 people on interviewing.io and I got a lot of experience. In other words, I work on tree algorithms every week and I was amazed to work on top talent people in the world all the time.
I spent 30 minutes to work on the tree algorithm, but I still could not pass all test cases. The phone ring and I had to tell my sister to wait, I was in the contest and I need to get back to her after the contest.
I moved on the first algorithm first. I was in the pressure to score zero, so I had to push myself hard to solve the first algorithm. I finished the first algorithm, but only 14 minutes left. And then I went back to work on the third algorithm, I read the problem statement again, and I read the statement "the value should be appended to the end of the array". I fixed the bug and wrote very simple code, since it is the end and it should be right subtree.
I only had 8 minutes left, I did glance the second algorithm. I know that it should be simple but I did not have enough time to finish it. I started to play with my ranking and figured out what my ranking was.
I just played with ranking system until the end.
Here is my ranking.

Schwab S&P 500 index sel
Feb. 23, 2019
It is my personal finance research. After more than three months work, I finally have chance to put together all paper work I had with Par Technology 401 K, and I like to study one of options called Schwab S&P 500 index selection.
Here is the fund statistics.
I sold the mutual funds in 2008 or 2009 and stayed in money market fund or bond from 2009 to 2019. I still park those money on there, I like to wait another correction before I put the money into index fund.

Personal finance research
Feb. 23, 2019
It is my personal finance research starting from Nov. 2018. I did look into who are best mentors as a self-learner, I wrote the first blog about "My best coaches in personal finance". Today I found out that I start to watch the content related to Warren Buffett. This is the first time I start to work on learning from Warren Buffett.
I think that the learning starts from financial difficulty to find a home in Canada in 2018.
I have a roommate who is good educated young graduate from university of Victoria, she keeps reminding me to go to Willingdon church. Somehow I learn that I like to find time to do more study related to personal finance research instead. I could not believe that I can learn so many things once I come out the idea to work on.
I try to figure out how to manage myself as a self-learner, I like to start from small case studies based on my past experience, based on transactions on my citi bank credit card statements from 1996 to 2019.
