Two Keys to Parallel Skiing

Dec. 31, 2021

Here is the link.

Parallel skiing is a great milestone when you first learn how to ski. When you are able to keep your skis parallel, you are no longer a beginner skier, but have transformed into an intermediate skier! Let's go! In this video, I share two effective keys to achieve a more parallel position on your skis. Each key is presented with a step-by-step progression, so you can learn these parallel skiing skills in a fast and safe manner. 0:27 The first key is to balance on your outside ski. This will liberate your inside ski, so it is no longer “locked” in a snow plough position. 2:31 The second key is to make an up and forward move to release the edges from the old turn and easily start the new turn with parallel skis. These two keys for parallel skiing have proven to be important and effective in transforming my students skiing from skiing in the snow plough to skiing with parallel skis. I hope it will work well for you too. Enjoy!

HOW TO SKI WITH CONFIDENCE WITH AN OLYMPIC SKIER | Ice, Steeps, Fog and Slush

Dec. 31, 2021

Here is the link. 

Everybody has felt scared on a mountain at one time or other, whether it’s racing down an icy World Cup downhill, dropping into a couloir, or trying to negotiate a slushy crowded home run at the end of the day. No one can ever conquer the mountain, and even the very best skiers will admit to being scared from time to time. We met up with 5x Olympic skier, presenter of BBC Ski Sunday, and founder of ‘Perfect Turns’ coaching app Graham Bell and gave him the task of providing the everyday skier with some tips for building confidence, and overcoming fear while skiing. Graham covers some useful coping strategies to help you next time you run into, steep slopes, crowded slopes, icy slopes, slushy slopes, and white-out conditions. To quote Denzel Washington “There is no such thing as tough, only trained and untrained” The more you can expose yourself to the things that scare you, the better trained you are to deal with it. Enjoy this video and please leave a comment if you have any questions about this topic or coping strategies that have been useful in helping you become more confident while skiing.!

Questrade TFSA account: 2021 performance review

#GreedyLesson #StopLoss 

Dec. 29, 2021

Introduction

It is the most important task to conduct a short performance review on my TFSA account on questrade.com. I like to summarize my performance, and my loss is less than $5,000 Canadian dollars, less than 10% up to Dec. 28, 2021. 

My stock gains and loss

I wrote down on a paper on my performance. 

1. Nok stock gain $1407
2. Gte.To $667
3. Rig $600
4. PFE $890
5. BMY $220
6. HON $220
7. SABR $420
8. CMCSA $166
9. DIS (961)
10. AZN $220
11. ARDX $750
12. GRAY (5443)

My gain is around $4490, and my loss from GRAY is (5443). I have to learn from my own experience. How to cut loss early on GRAY stock. 

10 reasons GRAY stock is not good for a beginner

I like to put together 10 reasons GRAY stock is not good for a beginner. 

1. GRAY stock price went down from $30 to $6, and I was attracted to make first purchase.
2. After that, I continued to make purchase to cover my loss. 
3. I did not learn how to cut loss, so that my loss was around $4000 dollars; My investment is more than $5000 dollars. 
4. After a few months, there was a short squeeze. The position went up more than $5000 dollars in one day; I did not sell with $1000 gain, I wanted more. 
5. After that, I held the position with $5000 dollars loss, and hopefully I will not miss any short squeeze. 
6. The stock price went up around $4.3 and went down $3.00 dollars. I got emotionally attached to the stock, especially after I spent hours studying AMD disease, eye disease, my late mom's eye problem in her late 50s. 
7. I did not review my portfolio since too many positions in crash in Nov. 2021, DIS, PSFE, SABR, AAL. All my funds are in equities. 100%. GRAY is a small equity, which is easy to manipulate. 
8. I decided to cut loss at $1.78/ share, I did add 1500 shares at 2.20/ share after drop from $3.0 

There are so many lessons I learned from my own investment. Those are my 10 years savings from Canada. The road is tough for me to invest in by myself, I need to get more educated and learn from my own experience.

Oct. 19, 2023

I should cut loss early. I should not invest in any stock like biotech stocks. 

Nov. 10, 2023

Biggest problem is related to GRAY stock (5443). 

1. I should invest GRAY stock at all. It went bankrupt. 

2. The loss is bigger than all other gains in 2021. 

3. I should spend US dollars $5000 to purchase morningstar.com and tipranks.com, but it was not clear that I did not take initiatives to purchase any professional service on equity investment.

大家周末愉快！ 群里专家给我分析一下我的gray 股票。拥有1900股。账面亏损5000美金。市值6000美金。公司还有现金78mil. 公司试验6到12个月。

无言 12:31

这是药股吗，药股要问小君，是他的长项。炒这种小股票，都要低位埋伏，有时等很久，冲高就要分批出，不能报幻想。[Grin]

陈建敏 12:38

谢谢！ 是药股。我是有幻想，最高30美金，现在3.1美金。

BH 12:44

多谢，多谢! 继续耐心潜伏。

不能看历史前高，他花多长时间回历史前高，这谁也不知道。我曾经有一支小药股，技术指标看着都没问题的时候买入的，买入就被套，等了半年它冲高我才解脱了……药股有时不能看技术指标。

二郎神君 14:25

GRAY它平均一年的研发开支3000-3500万之间，行政费700万，8千万可以撑到2023年，因为没有收入和专利费用，(当然这个上年9月份的新IPO也没債务)但主打GB-102商业化的路仍然艰难，FDA对眼科药要求跟成瘾药一样多，如果明年中下旬它没有更新它更多的GB-102病患数据(加大临床范围和稳定性，上次剂量更轻的耐久性较高)估计增发募资机会大，但基于现股价，增发成本不合理，所以期待公司提供新的临床数据,它的三期临床因疫情影响推迟了，按进度开始后二个月有评估，六个月后才有初步结论，空窗期得耐心了，或许出数据不久如果理想将很快启动新募股，如果不理想，那，，，，[吃瓜]

二郎神君 14:34

当然它还有GB一103，而且这个老年视网膜药市场潜力非常大，(湿性AMD对老年人视力影响极大现在病患在眼球玻璃体每年要做注射十次以上，它可以减至一年一至二次)

无言 14:41

如果仓位不大，如果还在深水里，就只能耐心等待，等冲高了卖，好多小药股都是潜伏，等待，冲高分批卖。@Jing
