天天影视更新2020年上映的美国纪录片《非典型女性：时代开拓者》　　Timed with the 2020 women's suffrage centennial, American Masters - Unladylike2020: The Changemakers takes a look at women whose courage and tenacity 100 years ago shaped the political life and future of this nation. Their accomplishments were instrumental in accomplishing voting rights for women -- but also in improving the quality of life for all citizens. This hour-long PBS American Masters animated documentary film will present profiles of five little-known women trailblazers who were active in government, civil rights, and citizenship rights, behaving in ways that placed them outside the mainstream of expected behaviors for 'ladies' at the turn of the 20th century. They include: Martha Hughes Cannon, the country's first female state senator; Jovita Idar, a journalist, and president of one of the first Mexican American women's civil rights organizations; Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress; Mary Church Terrell, a leader in the anti-lynching movement and a founder of the NAACP; and Zitkála-Sá, aka Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, who lobbied for U.S. citizenship, voting rights and sovereignty for American Indians a century ago.喜欢本片，记得分享给身边的朋友。

Private property prices edge up 0.3% in Q2: URA

Private home prices in Singapore in the second quarter edged up 0.3 per cent from the previous quarter, while transactions fell to its lowest in more than two years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, updated data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showed on Friday (Jul 24).

The private residential property price index increased to 152.6 points in the second quarter, up from 152.1 points in the first quarter.

The revised figure for the second quarter reverses the 1.1 per cent decline flagged in the flash estimates released earlier this month.

It is also an increase from the 1 per cent drop seen in the first quarter.

By property type, prices of landed homes remained unchanged in the second quarter, compared with the 0.9 per cent decrease in the previous quarter.

Prices of non-landed homes increased by 0.4 per cent, compared with the 1 per cent decrease in the first quarter. Those in the core central region jumped the most – by 2.7 per cent – followed by the outside central region, by 0.1 per cent. Homes in the rest of central region saw their prices fall by 1.7 per cent.

Rentals of private residential properties decreased by 1.2 per cent, compared with the 1.1 per cent increase in the previous quarter.

In the second quarter, developers sold 1,713 private homes (excluding executive condominiums), down from the 2,149 units sold in the previous quarter. This represents the lowest number of homes transacted since the first quarter of 2018, when developers sold 1,581 units.

Between April and June, developers launched 1,852 uncompleted residential units, compared with 2,093 units in the first quarter.

No executive condominiums (ECs) were launched in the second quarter, while 71 such units were purchased.

Analysts noted that transactions were affected by COVID-19 restrictions.

Singapore implemented a “circuit breaker” period on Apr 7 to contain the spread of COVID-19, allowing only essential services such as healthcare, transport, logistics and food and beverage outlets to continue limited operations.

During that period, showroom viewings – a core marketing activity for property developers – were halted and potential buyers had to view the units virtually.

Showflats were allowed to resume during Phase 2 of the post-circuit breaker reopening on Jun 19.

“Last quarter, private home sales were adversely affected by both the pandemic and stricter safe distancing measures imposed during a two-month circuit breaker in April and May, during which all showflats were closed,” said Ms Christine Sun, head of research and consultancy at OrangeTee.

She added that demand is likely to continue to come from local buyers, who accounted for 80.4 per cent of transactions for non-landed homes in the second quarter. This is the highest proportion since the first quarter of 2009, when Singaporean buyers accounted for 82.5 per cent of non-landed sales.

Property analyst Ong Kah Seng noted that going forward, demand will continue to be “highly opportunity-driven” and dependent on attractive pricing.

He expects prices for overall private residential properties to decrease by up to 4 per cent this year.

“Should prices continue to increase in H2 2020 instead, this will be totally not in sync with economic fundamentals as Singapore is undergoing unprecedented severe recession,” he said.

As of end-June, there were a total supply of 49,090 uncompleted private homes (excluding ECs) in the pipeline with planning approvals. Of these, 27,977 units are unsold.

In the EC segment, there were a total supply of 3,613 units in the pipeline, of which 1,899 units are unsold.

Based on the expected completion dates reported by developers, 2,087 homes (including ECs) are expected be completed in the second half of the year.

Another 12,932 units (including ECs) are expected to be completed next year.

There is also a potential supply of around 5,400 units (including ECs) from Government Land Sales (GLS) sites that have not been granted planning approval.

9% of People Can’t Decide Whether or Not They’re Decisive?

If you’re in a group of people struggling to settle on a restaurant to eat at or a movie to watch . . . can you make the decision?

Even if you’re alone, how long do you spend weighing your options?

A new poll asked people how decisive they’d say they are, and 22% said “very decisive,” while 48% said they’re “fairly decisive.”

So roughly 70% of people are comfortable making a decision.

17% said they were “fairly indecisive,” and 4% said they were “very indecisive,” which means 21% of people shy away from it.

As for the other 9%, well . . . they said they “don’t know” whether or not they are decisive.

If you break down the demographics, younger people say they’re more indecisive than older people . . . people making under $40K a year were more indecisive than people making $80,000 or more . . .

And not surprisingly, people who said they’re “Not Sure” about their political affiliation were more indecisive than the people who said they were Democrats, Republicans, Independents, or even those who said “Other.”

What customers say...

Real Magic. Real Reviews.

Definitely a must-have for anyone with kids! Hands down, the best gift or product any parent should have in this digital age.

I was skeptical if they can really ship in my country. I gave it a shot and received my order in 4 days. Product is amazing and one of the most unique purchase I have ever made.

I use anti blue light glasses and I know for a fact that adding a photochromic feature could be very costly. Magic Specs have both these features at an affordable price.

I bought a screen glasses from another brand but not as amazing as this one! I have never seen anything like it and how it amazingly changes color. I'm like a kid myself!

The magic is real! When worn outdoors or when my kids are in front their gadgets...the lenses and the frame changes color! WOW!

I'm so happy my sons love wearing their Magic Specs as much as I want their eyes protected. They also did a great job making it unbreakable! You know how kids can be. 😅

Received the wrong size but their customer rep is very responsive and was kind to quickly ship me the right order plus a discount coupon. Thank you.

Robyn and Dennis, with each other for a few decades although not hitched, consulted beside me

Robyn and Dennis, with each other for a few decades although not hitched, consulted beside me

because they couldn’t appear to relate with one another. They liked one another but Dennis noticed older women dating that Robyn got a wall up that quit them from getting close.

Whenever Dennis claimed that he experienced Robyn creating a wall surface up-and he desired to understand why, this lady reaction was actually which they both had a wall up. Dennis said the guy felt available to Robyn and really planned to get in touch with her and this he had beenn’t aware of a wall.

It was obvious if you ask me that the ended up being true. We experienced Dennis as open-hearted and Robyn as sealed. As so frequently takes place with quite a few anyone, Robyn ended up being projecting their closed cardiovascular system on to Dennis.

“Robyn, there needs to be a very good reason you might be shut to Dennis. Could You getting ready to explore this?” I inquired.

“He has got become accountable for the methods he has got harm me personally in which he never ever is actually.”

“Robyn, are you currently saying that if or not he or she is accountable accounts for the enclosed center? That he’s in charge of you closing your own cardiovascular system?”

“No, I’m perhaps not saying that. I’m stating that We don’t want to open my personal cardio until he’s answerable.”

“Dennis, how can you feel about this?” I inquired

“We Harm Both Also More…”

“We’ve tried time after time to speak about affairs and also for each one of us to simply take accountability in regards to our upsetting attitude. But the problem is whenever she tells me what I performed that hurt the lady, either I can’t bear in mind or we notice it really in different ways than she do. And the same thing takes place when we determine the lady exactly what she’s accomplished with which has hurt me personally. Therefore we don’t have anywhere therefore we find yourself hurting each other even more as soon as we need these liability speaks.

“So a few months ago I decided to allow all that get and concentrate on maintaining my center open. I made a decision to forgive the lady for damaging me personally, and that might a huge aid in maintaining my center open up. Robyn, I favor you and i do want to relate to your. I am hoping you certainly will opened their cardio and forgive me for whatever I’ve done to damage your, because I’ve never complete things deliberately to harmed your.”

Robyn seemed miffed. “So to hook, we have to do so your way, is that correct?”

“Well, I’ve been trying they your path as well as beingn’t performing. Will You Be saying that you may open the heart as long as we do it the right path?”

“I can’t only opened my center as well as have a clear slate the manner in which you need us to,” she mentioned.

“Robyn,” we stated, “It appears like it’s more critical for Dennis to accomplish issues your way as opposed to connect with him, usually correct?”

“No, I would like to start my personal center and connect to your, but I can’t until he’s in charge of their hurtful conduct.”

“You can not or perhaps you won’t?” I asked.

Robyn ended up being unwilling are responsible for the fact that she got creating Dennis in charge of if she exposed this lady cardiovascular system. She had been not willing to grab the lady vision off your and place all of them on by herself and her very own purpose to safeguard and manage.

“We’re Not Browsing Create In This Way”

I could understand depression in Dennis’s eyes. “Dennis, you appear unfortunate,” I mentioned.

“Yes, Im. I know that unless Robyn decides to opened her cardio, we’re not attending allow as a few. Personally I think as well depressed along with her to continue in this partnership. We don’t desire to be with her if she is producing me personally in charge of this lady closed heart.”

We considered unfortunate as well. We realized why these two wouldn’t allow as one or two if Robyn continues to keep this lady heart closed. I really could read precisely how unloving it had been to this lady keeping this lady wall structure upwards, but that she had not been even available to with the knowledge that maintaining the woman heart shut was 100per cent her very own option. She was not available to since she was not only becoming unloving to Dennis, she has also been becoming unloving to herself.

Assuming that she had been blaming the lady closed cardio on Dennis’s shortage of responsibility, she got stuck becoming disconnected from both herself and from Dennis.

Read With Me #3

Welcome to week 3 of my 'Read With Me' linky. I have found myself really enjoying the time I've made for reading, even if it has only been in 5 minute blocks sometimes. This week I managed to read not one, not two but three books, admittedly one of the books was only 29 pages long but it still counts.!!

Next on my list of books to read was the breach series written by K I Lynn,

This book follows two characters, Delilah Palmer and Nathan Thorne.

When I began reading Breach, I thought it would be about an office romance but I soon found out that it would be so much more.

Both Lila (her nickname) and Nathan are "damaged", having been through horrible things in their past.

Lila is a woman who has no self worth, forever put down when she was younger, she hides behind this confident mask.

Nathan is somewhat of a mystery he has both scars on the outside and on the inside however where these scars came from, we don't know.

With a great mix of romance and erotica, the first book, Breach had me hooked and the ending had me needing to read the next one straight away, believe me when I say there is a huge cliffhanger, not something you see coming.

K I Lynn Breach
As I found out you don't necessarily need to read book 1.5, Dissolution. At only 29 pages long, it is a super quick read and just gives a little insight as to what Nathan is feeling however you could easily read book 2 without reading this however it was a lovely added extra.

Book 2, Infraction, begins where book 1 finished. We find out a bit more about Nathan's past and what has made him the man he is today. We also see Lila and Nathans relationship continue to strengthen. There was a lot more story and emotions in this one but just as gripping as Breach. I was left both disappointed and excited at the end because I was left with another cliff hanger, so now I need to wait for the next instalment, I cannot wait to see what happens next.

So come on tell me what have you been reading this week?? Any post that link up, I will tweet about and pin. It would be appreciated if you could comment on atleast one or two ohter posts that link up.

  1. I love this new linky, a great idea. It looks as though you've been doing an awful lot of reading this week x

    1. I turn into a night owl when I get gripped by a good book :)

  2. I linked up my review for Sworn Secret by Amanda Jennings, it's a YA novel but as a mature adult I enjoyed it very much.

  3. Have linked up what I've read this January

I love hearing from my readers so please feel free to leave comment.

Hewlett-Packard Spins Off PC, Printer Businesses

Mnet 183811 Hplead 4

NEW YORK (AP) — Hewlett-Packard is splitting itself into two companies, one focused on its personal computer and printing business and another on technology services, such as data storage, servers and software, as it aims to drive profits higher.

Hewlett-Packard, like other PC makers, has been facing changing consumer tastes — moving away from desktops and laptops and toward smartphones and tablets. It has also faced revenue declines 11 of the past 12 quarters. The company laid off tens of thousands of people in recent years as sales crumbled.

The planned breakup follows other big companies that have spun off business units in order to drive growth. EBay Inc. this month said it would spin off its fastest growing segment, payment service PayPal, into a separate and publicly traded company.

The shared hope is that the two units will be worth more separately and be able to grow more quickly apart than they can together.

HP said Monday that the PC and printer business will use the name HP Inc. The services business will be called Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. HP CEO Meg Whitman will lead the Enterprise business. HP PC and printer chief Dion Weisler will be CEO of HP Inc.

"The decision to separate into two market-leading companies underscores our commitment to the turnaround plan," Whitman said. "It will provide each new company with the independence, focus, financial resources, and flexibility they need to adapt quickly to market and customer dynamics."

Cantor Fitzgerald's Brian White said that there are numerous reasons why HP would want to split the businesses, including the slowdown of the PC market since the iPad debuted in April 2010. While the PC market has shown some improving trends this year, White said in a client note that separating into two companies gives HP the option to sell off one or both businesses if an attractive offer is made.

The split, if approved by the company board, is expected to close by the end of fiscal 2015. Once complete, HP stockholders will own shares of both companies.

During its most recent quarter HP reported revenue of $27.6 billion, a 1 percent annual gain. It marked HP's first year-over-year increase in quarterly revenue since late 2011. Printers and computers contributed 51 percent of the company's quarterly revenue, with the rest coming from technology services like consulting, software and financial programs.

HP is expected to complete the latest round of layoffs, between 11,000 to 16,000 people, this month. That is on top of the 34,000 people it had already jettisoned from its payroll.

Jim Suva of Citi Investment Research said that HP's announcement may be coming now partly because the stock market has been supportive of spinoffs of late. The analyst also believes the company's stronger balance sheet, stable PC margins, improving services margins, better financials and completion of the more difficult parts of its restructuring efforts played a role in its decision to act now.

HP maintained its guidance for fiscal 2014 adjusted earnings between $3.70 and $3.74 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet predict earnings of $3.73 per share.

For fiscal 2015, the company anticipates adjusted earnings in a range of $3.83 to $4.03 per share. Wall Street is looking for $3.96 per share.

Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co., based in Palo Alto, California, rose $2.11, or 6 percent, to $37.31 in premarket trading 75 minutes before the market open.

White House Unveils New Fuel Economy Rules

WASHINGTON (AP) -- With global talks on climate change looming, the Obama administration sought to gain momentum Tuesday by unveiling its plan to require better gas mileage for cars and trucks and tougher rules on vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson released the proposed regulations at the White House, the follow-up to President Barack Obama's announcement in May that the government regulations would link emissions and fuel economy standards.

"This action will give our auto companies some long-overdue clarity, stability and predictability," Obama said Tuesday during a visit to a General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio.

"This marks a significant advance in our work to protect health and the environment and move our nation to a sustainable economy in the future," Jackson said.

The new standards call for the auto industry's fleet of new vehicles to average 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016.

The proposal will cover vehicle model years 2012 through 2016, allowing auto companies to comply at once with all federal requirements as well as standards pushed by California and about a dozen other states.

The administration estimated the requirements would cost up to $1,300 per new vehicle by 2016 -- but that it would take just three years to pay off that investment and that the standards would save more than $3,000 over the life of the vehicle through better gas mileage.

Jackson said the new standards will have the effect of taking 42 million cars off the road.

The proposal is expected to increase vehicle fuel efficiency by about 5 percent annually and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 950 million metric tons. The plan would also conserve 1.8 billion barrels of oil, Jackson said.

Administration officials noted that the new standards are four years ahead of a 2007 law that would have required the auto industry to meet a 35 mpg average in 2020.

The proposed rules are expected to provide automakers some flexibility in meeting the requirements in exchange for building advanced vehicles. Some luxury automakers and foreign manufacturers who sell a limited number of vehicles in the United States could meet a less-stringent standard in the early years of the regulations.

The agencies must finalize the proposal by March 30 to give automakers enough planning time for the regulations to take effect in the 2012 model year.

Tuesday's announcement could provide the Obama administration momentum on climate change in advance of a series of high-level talks on a new international agreement to curb heat-trapping gases and a speech by the President next week on global warming at a special U.N. summit.

The administration's lead climate negotiator just last week acknowledged that negotiations have so far failed to bridge the divide between developed and developing nations, saying that action on the part of the U.S. by passing legislation to limit greenhouse gases was urgently needed. But with the bill delayed in the Senate by the health care debate, the chances that Congress will act before 180 nations gather in Copenhagen, Denmark in early December to work on a new treaty are growing dimmer.

The new fuel economy standards, in the meantime, could serve as a placeholder -- a concrete step that the Obama administration is taking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

LaHood, meanwhile, said the administration had paid out $2.5 billion as of today for the Cash-for-Clunkers program under which auto dealers sold more than 700,000 vehicles in 30 days. LaHood said the remainder of federal payments to dealers under the program would be paid by the end of the month, taking government payments to a total of $3 billion.

How to follow Liverpool v United

Monday 18 April 2022 10:00

Manchester United travel to Anfield on Tuesday evening, looking to edge ever closer to the Premier League's top four.

Ralf Rangnick's side are bidding to register consecutive Premier League victories after defeating Norwich City 3-2 at Old Trafford on Saturday, and three points against Liverpool would really strengthen our push for a Champions League place.

But the hosts will also be in buoyant mood, having defeated Manchester City on Saturday to progress to the Emirates FA Cup final.

As the clash with one of our fiercest rivals approaches, here's all the important information you need...

Highlights: United v Norwich Video

Highlights: United v Norwich

Watch all the goals, and a great De Gea save, after an Easter Saturday thriller at Old Trafford...

Tuesday's encounter with Jurgen Klopp's side will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage scheduled to begin at 19:00 BST. Meanwhile, MUTV will build up to the game from 18:55 BST, bringing you the confirmed team news and much more, before providing live radio commentary.

And of course as always, there will be coverage throughout the evening on and in the United App, where you can keep right up to date with all the action as it happens on Merseyside.

Enjoying a stellar campaign, Liverpool have only lost twice in the Premier League so far this season and are firmly in the hunt for the title. Sitting just one point behind league leaders Manchester City, Klopp's side have won their last 10 league encounters and are unbeaten on home turf since March 2021.

Mohamed Salah is the division's top scorer at present with 20 goals, while England international Trent Alexander-Arnold leads the assists chart with 12 to his name thus far. Having progressed to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League just last week, and to the final of the FA Cup on Saturday, it is sure to be a busy end to the season for the Merseysiders.

Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani look set to miss out through injury, as they did against Norwich on Saturday. Return dates for Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay remain unclear, while Fred, who was injured against Everton earlier this month, is also likely to be sidelined for the trip to Anfield. Ralf Rangnick may provide further updates in his press conference on Monday afternoon (13:15 BST).

For the hosts, Diogo Jota passed a late fitness test to make a cameo off the bench in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City. Klopp will expect the Portuguese to be available from the off on Tuesday, and has no further injury worries to contend with.

Lindelof relishing top-four race

The Swede is confident the Reds reach can the Champions League places.

United will be searching for consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since February, after overcoming Norwich 3-2 on Saturday. Victory on Merseyside would see Rangnick's men move above top-four rivals Tottenham into the Champions League places on goal difference, with Antonio Conte's side not having a midweek fixture. Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to continue his own rich vein of form, with his match-winning hat-trick over the Canaries at the weekend taking his Premier League goal tally to 15 for the season.

Liverpool have been in scintillating form for the majority of the season, with Klopp's side currently in the midst of an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Last time out in the Premier League, the Merseysiders drew 2-2 with league leaders Manchester City, before defeating Pep Guardiola's team 3-2 on Saturday to progress to the FA Cup final.

Liverpool v United | Brown v Murphy

Wes Brown and Danny Murphy come together to dissect the intense rivalry between our great clubs...

Having unfortunately succumbed to a 5-0 home defeat in the reverse fixture earlier this season, interim boss Ralf Rangnick will hope for a big improvement from United in his first taste of this classic fixture. Tuesday's meeting is the 237th overall between the two teams, with United coming out on top on 89 previous occasions. Our last success at Anfield came back in 2016, when captain Wayne Rooney notched a late winner.

Referee: Martin Atkinson.
Assistants: Constantine Hatzidakis, Richard West.
Fourth official: Chris Kavanagh.
VAR: Paul Tierney.
Assistant VAR: Harry Lennard.

‘Time to unbalance the scale’

Cristiano sets himself a challenge as he reflects on a remarkable 30-after-30 hat-trick record.

Twelve top-flight teams will be in Premier League action from Tuesday through to Thursday. Here is a full schedule:

Liverpool v UNITED (20:00 BST)

Chelsea v Arsenal
Everton v Leicester City
Newcastle United v Crystal Palace
Manchester City v Brighton (20:00 BST)

Burnley v Southampton

All kick-offs are 19:45 BST unless stated.

Tom Baldwin looks at the new wiring at the Agassiz Speedway

Tom Baldwin looks at the new wiring at the Agassiz Speedway

Speedway recovering from theft

Outpouring of support shown by volunteers after metal theft

Help poured into the Agassiz Speedway all week, in an effort to get the long-standing racetrack back in top shape for the weekend’s races.

The Speedway was hit by metal thieves sometime between the Aug. 17 races and the following Friday.

One of the directors was walking around the grounds last Friday and noticed a few wires hanging here and there. Upon further investigation, more and more damage was found. In total, director Barb tenBos estimates they suffered about $10,000 in damages — mostly stolen wiring, faucets and broken door locks.

The gain for the thieves was probably just a few hundred dollars, she said. It was a devastating discovery for the non-profit organization; they just stay afloat enough to manage the track. But that anger and frustration the initially felt has been soothed by the outpouring of support from the community.

Volunteers have rallied around the Speedway, and for the past few days they have been working to get the track ready for Saturday night’s event, the Hornet Special.

On Wednesday, electricians from Moonlight Electrical and Norich Electrical were busy rewiring, while others stayed busy cleaning up the track and weed eating. tenBos and a few others kept the barbecue going to feed the volunteers, all eager to not let the theft set them back.

“These boys have been working now for two days,” she said. “The response has been nothing short of amazing.”

This is not the first time the Speedway has been hit by wire thieves. The first time was about six years ago, when metal prices were high and theft was on the rise, said director Tom Baldwin.

That time, they buried a lot of the wire. This time, they’ve gone a step further and raised the wiring as high as possible, and hopefully out of reach from opportunistic thieves.

It’s impossible to watch the Speedway all the time, Baldwin said. Because of the noise created by the races, the track was deliberately built far away from town, at the end of Cemetery Road. The closest residents are inmates at the prisons, and there is little through traffic.

“It’s way out here,” Baldwin said. “You’d never know someone was in here.”

The Agassiz Speedway has a long history in the local race scene. It opened in 1971, when Langley still had their speedway. In 1977, the original track was paved, and in 2001, the track was expanded to be a full 1/4 mile.

“Bunk Mckay came in and ripped everything out,” tenBos said. With a crew of eight local men, they worked every Saturday from September to May to get the track ready for the Spring opening in 2001.

“We literally paved the addition three days before opening day,” she said. “We were under so much pressure to get it done.”

They’re racing to the finish line again, as cars will start to arrive Saturday afternoon for the Brad Adams Memorial Hornet Special, sponsored by Modern Tire and Towing.

“We’re more upset this time, but the stress has been minimized because of all this support,” tenBos said.

The Hornet Special is a great night for locals to catch some action, Baldwin added. It’s a novice night, and plenty of the racers are local. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. and there will be a meet and greet where everyone is welcome onto the grass where kids can have their pictures taken with the cars and drivers.

Admission for an adult is $12, $10 for seniors and youth (13-18), $5 for a child (7-12, free for children six and under, and $30 for a family of four. The track takes cash only.

For more information, visit

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call the Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211 or CrimeStoppers.

San Jose Sharks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs: Three things to know

San Jose Sharks' Bob Boughner wants Kevin Labanc to refine some details, Melker Karlsson returns and why Alexander True will be a scratch once again

SAN JOSE, CA – SEPTEMBER 17: San Jose Sharks’ Joe Thornton (19) talks to San Jose Sharks’ Kevin Labanc (62) on the bench before the start of the second period against the Anaheim Ducks at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)
SAN JOSE, CA – SEPTEMBER 17: San Jose Sharks’ Joe Thornton (19) talks to San Jose Sharks’ Kevin Labanc (62) on the bench before the start of the second period against the Anaheim Ducks at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)

SAN JOSE — The Sharks will be looking to improve to 3-0 on their six-game homestand Tuesday as they host  Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have turned things around since losing to emergency backup goalie David Ayers and the Carolina Hurricanes on Feb. 22.

Following their 6-3 to Ayers and the Hurricanes, the Leafs (35-23-8) beat Tampa Bay, Florida and Vancouver to help secure their third place standing in the Atlantic Division.

Goalie Martin Jones will make his third straight Tuesday. Saturday, Jones wrapped up an impressive month of February with a 30-save shutout in the Sharks’ 5-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jones finished the month with a 3-2-0 record, two shutouts, a 1.40 goals against average and a .951 save percentage.

“Toronto, very similar to Pittsburgh in their systems and personnel and how they like to play,” Sharks interim coach Bob Boughner said. “We talked about what we need to do to have success.”

Three things to know for Tuesday’s game:

1. Labanc’s game: The Sharks only have 17 regular season games left, and Boughner is still looking for more consistency from Kevin Labanc, who finished February with three goals and three assists in 13 games.

Labanc had 12 minutes and 23 seconds of ice time against the Penguins, his third-lowest total of the season.

“I think his game’s been up and down lately,” Boughner said of Labanc. “What we’re trying to stress with him is the 200-foot game, the little details. I want to see him a little harder on the wall in his own end. Playing a little more north. He gets in the habit of sometimes over complicating the game a little bit and trying to make that extra move.

“I’d like to see him simplify his game, get more pucks to the net and get to the net and score some goals.”

It’s been a trying year for Labanc, who, with 32 points, likely won’t match the 56 points he had last season. He’s also saddled with a plus/minus rating of -32 — fifth-worst in the NHL (the top four all played with Detroit this season).

But he still remains one of the Sharks’ most skilled players, especially with Tomas Hertl and Erik Karlsson out for the season with injuries. With Patrick Marleau and Barclay Goodrow now with other teams, his skill has become especially important for a Sharks team looking to finish the year on a positive note.

“I put pressure on myself, even when we have those guys, to score because we need help from all four lines, not just one or two players,” Labanc said. “That’s what my focus is going into games.”

Since the Feb. 24 trade deadline, Labanc has mainly been on a line with Joe Thornton and Timo Meier, as well as the top power play unit. Thornton’s line has flashed some chemistry of late, but there’s no question the Sharks could use more offense from their top forwards.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 27: San Jose Sharks’ Kevin Labanc (62) takes a shot against New Jersey Devils’ Connor Carrick (5) in the first period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020. (Nhat V. Meyer/Bay Area News Group)

Boughner would like to see Labanc refine the details of his game.

“Sometimes (Labanc) drifts away from the areas he’s supposed to stop in offensively,” Boughner said. “I know (assistant coach Mike Ricci) is working a lot with him there. Not try to do everything from a standstill. Keep his feet moving more.”

“Jumbo’s such a great passer, so he likes to get behind the net and just look for that open honey hole right in the middle of the slot,” Labanc said. “Just kind of stay there. You have to find ways to fight off the check. That’s a big thing, to find that spot or kind of finding the right timing for it instead of drifting away and give Jumbo that open target.”

2. Melker Karlsson returns: Melker Karlsson will re-enter the Sharks lineup Tuesday after he missed the last five games with a lower body injury he incurred Feb. 20 in a game against the New Jersey Devils.

Lean Bergmann, who played the last two games, will be a scratch, along with center Alexander True.

Boughner expanded on why Antti Suomela was inserted for Saturday’s game and True was a scratch.

“My idea before last game was to have True to sit out a game and watch a game and get intense again,” Boughner said. “Sometimes, young guys, they have a habit of maybe backing off once they get comfortable. I’m not saying that’s happened with Alex, but sometimes it’s good to watch a game.”

True played 11 straight games from Feb. 4-27, collecting four assists and averaging just over 10 minutes of ice time per game, True showed himself to be a pretty responsible two-way player.

Among the spots where Suomela has an edge, though, is in the faceoff circle. He’s won 55.3 percent of his 76 faceoffs this season, including 55.0 percent of his 20 draws in the defensive zone. True won 47.8 percent of his 67 draws last month, but just 23.1 percent of his 13 defensive zone draws.

That area is especially critical with the Sharks now without their two top faceoff guys, as Hertl is out and Goodrow is now with Tampa Bay. Suomela went 8-for-10 in the circle against the Penguins.

“When we were struggling earlier, we weren’t very good in the faceoff circle,” Boughner said. “(Suomela’s) been used on the penalty kill a little bit, and he plays with some pace. That’s one thing I noticed with our team. When we’re playing well with some of these young guys — we’ve got (Dylan) Gambrell, (Noah) Gregor, (Suomela), you’ve guys that can skate and can move and it makes our team faster.”

3. Middleton update: Boughner said that defenseman Jake Middleton will not need surgery for his lower body injury, which he described as being “more like a high ankle sprain.” There is some hope that he could rejoin the Sharks before the end of the regular season in early April.

“I think we got lucky on that one,” Boughner said of Middleton’s injury, which, in retrospect, looked scarier than it was. “It could have been a lot worse.”

Brandon Davidson will draw in Tuesday in Middleton’s place. Davidson, acquired Feb. 24 from the Calgary Flames, will be playing his first game since Feb. 15.

Ask Amy: They intruded in the elevator when I wanted to ride alone

I felt trapped, and I didn't want to escalate the situation

Dear Amy: I live in a high COVID-infected area. We are on the verge of a second shutdown. I do my best to stay home and limit the people I see.

Columnist Amy Dickinson (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune)

Our apartment building has signs up requesting everyone wear their masks, and for one person/party to ride the elevator at a time.

I wear my mask from the minute I leave my door to the minute I come back in.

The biggest problem I am facing is with the elevator: people wearing no masks who push their way onto the elevator with me (as in: the door is closing and they stick their hand in to open it).

If I see them waiting, I try to step back and say, “I’ll catch the next one,” but sometimes they push their way on, and I feel trapped in this situation.

Do you have any advice on how to politely handle this?

I have been trying to take the stairs, but I run into mask-less people there as well!

We are already so far into the pandemic that I can’t imagine anyone with any sense still not wearing a mask, but I don’t want a confrontation or to escalate any situation. I just want to stay safe!

 Elevator Blues

Dear Blues: Research I’ve seen about the risk of the COVID-19 virus spreading on an elevator includes many variables: the size of the interior of the elevator, how often the door opens, how long the door stays open, how long you stay on the elevator, the ventilation system used in the elevator, etc.

The overall conclusion seems to be that because your time in an elevator is brief, you are unlikely to face any significant viral risk, especially if you are masked. Transmission happens through more prolonged exposure than most elevator rides afford, and your mask does help to protect you (and others).

Unless the person riding with you is ill with COVID and coughs or sneezes while inside the compartment with you, your risk is likely minimal. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly when you re-enter your apartment.

I could imagine that climbing the stairs along with people who are not masked could also carry a risk, because they (and you) are presumably huffing and puffing your way up the staircase.

Confronting people who don’t wear masks is not a good idea, mainly because they have access to the same health and safety information as you. It is hard to imagine that anything you might say or do would inspire them to behave differently.

If a mask-less person shoves onto the elevator at the last minute, you might want to quickly press the button for the very next floor and exit there.

(The temptation might be to also press all of the other buttons on the elevator on your way out, but I would never suggest such a thing!)

Dear Amy: So many of the questions to your column involve family members — often siblings — who are locked into their own drama or estranged from each other. As you’ve noted, often these estrangements carry on through generations.

My family has sibling drama, too.

When my kids were small, my husband and I started telling them that they would know each other longer than anyone else in the world, so they needed to love each other and be good friends.

We said that countless times, when they were little kids, teens, and so on. Now they are adults and have a healthy sibling relationship.

Dear Healed: I appreciate the way you recognized the unhealthy pattern in your own family, and so you quite deliberately decided to show your children a different model. Their functioning relationship will be a tremendous help and comfort to all of you throughout your family’s life.

Dear Amy: “I’m No Loony” reported that her folks laughed about her grandfather’s post-WWII service guarding a military mental hospital, calling it a “loony bin.”

I hope her grandpa was more compassionate than the parents and aunt seem to be.

Don’t they realize that soldiers in the mental health ward of a hospital during a war most likely suffered from PTSD, and witnessed things the rest of us hope never to see?

Many were young and had never been away from home before.

I also hope your writer has a better support system than her own family.

Angry and Sad

Dear Angry and Sad: “I’m No Loony” recounted her own struggles, including a stay in a mental hospital. Her family’s choice was to never mention it.

You can email Amy Dickinson at or send a letter to Ask Amy, P.O. Box 194, Freeville, NY 13068. You can also follow her on Twitter @askingamy or Facebook.

Robin Williams Tunnel deserves to stand apart

After reading about plans for a mural in the tunnel connecting Sausalito and Marin City (“Southern Marin organizers plan ‘unity’ tunnel mural,” May 31), I think we should consider another local, well-traveled route — the Robin Williams Tunnel on Highway 101 above Sausalito.

Over the years, I have found it a bit out of balance to name that dark, dank, ugly place after an internationally loved local celebrity. Fading rainbows do not quite fill the bill. I think we can do a better job.

Ever since Leo Villareal’s Bay Bridge light display became permanent in 2016, I have imagined how absolutely wonderful it would be to create spectacular tunnel light shows in a similar, innovative way. It would be a terrific welcome both to the Golden Gate Bridge side heading south and for Marin-bound traffic.

Realistically it will take considerable passion, fundraising and community involvement to get such a project off the ground. Perhaps there are individuals or groups in the community who will see this as a worthy project to honor one of our best known past citizens in a more delightful manner.

It would make the tunnel all the more memorable to the millions of visitors who pass through it each year. Let’s light up our lives and imagine the possibilities.

— Larry Minikes, San Rafael

Fishing industry should thank senator for support

As the captain of the Salty Lady and a board member of the Golden Gate Fishermen’s Association and Golden State Salmon Association, I think captains and crew of California passenger sport fishing boats owe a special thanks to Sen. Mike McGuire.

With his leadership in the state Legislature it will become economically feasible for commercial passenger boats to reduce engine emissions over the coming years and ultimately achieve Gov. Gavin Newsom’s zero-emission goals by 2045.

With McGuire’s support, commercial passenger sport fishing boats will continue to provide millions of Californians a year access to all the splendors of the sea — all while attracting millions of dollars annually in visitor spending and jobs all along California’s coastline.

— Jared Davis, Rohnert Park

Honoring memory of cousin lost in World War II

Eighty years ago, on June 15, 1942, my first cousin, Cpl. Roy D. Brindley was killed when his troop ship was torpedoed by a Nazi submarine 75 miles off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He was 23 years old.

We honor his memory and service and all those who served our country. May we never forget.

— Oak Dowling, San Rafael

Pini employee came through in time of need

I want to thank our local Pini Hardware representative who helped me so much when I couldn’t get my bike unlocked at the post office. He graciously came complete with bolt cutter and patiently figured it out. It’s why we support our local hardware store and I am so grateful.

—Carol Bolter, Novato

Airport-style security is warranted for our schools

While we wait for politicians to argue about gun control and the Second Amendment, something can be done to keep our children safer. Officials should apply the security measures to schools that are now applied to airports and some industrial plants.

Is a mass shooting likely at a Marin County school? Probably not. But could it happen? Of course it could. Parents at Sandy Hook and Uvalde did not expect their young children to be shot at school.

If a school is housed in a single building, all the doors should be secured and everyone should be screened at the main door or selected doors.

If a school consists of several buildings — like Redwood High School — officials should erect a secure perimeter fence. Screening could be done at one or more entrances to the campus. This method could be expensive, but our children and grandchildren are worth it.

— Laura Effel, Larkspur

Automatic rifles have no place in our society

Can anyone give me a real reason why anyone should have an automatic rifle? Please don’t give me responses calling it “a slippery slope” or “a Second Amendment right.” Don’t call this a “mental illness” issue. I can’t think of one reason why anyone would need an AR for any reason other than to kill a lot of people at once. It’s not for hunting, it’s not for defending yourself.

I am not an advocate for banning all guns. You can’t kill a lot of people at one time with a Smith and Wesson .38-caliber pistol.

All the excuses are moot. ARs should be banned as they were for 10 years when these mass shootings went down. Where are these politicians that could do something about this? This is a no-brainer.

— Joanne Gotelli, San Rafael

All should agree to adopt more gun safety steps

I would like to share some thoughts about gun safety. At the minimum, I believe we need immediate federal legislation that will do the following:

• Require background checks and registration for purchase of firearms, and raise the age limit for purchase to at least 21.

• Implement behavioral “red flag” procedures to reduce the availability of firearms for people with identified behavioral challenges.

• Outlaw manufacture and sale of “assault style” weapons that enable high rates of fire of bullets with such destructive power. Nobody needs one of those this side of military combat.

• Outlaw the manufacturing and sale of ammunition intended for these assault style weapons.

• Outlaw manufacturing and sale of magazines of more than 10 bullets.

• Require newly manufactured and sold handguns to have safety systems that prevent unauthorized users from firing them. They are sometimes known as “smart guns” or “personalized firearms.”

These steps would decrease the availability of such weapons. They would also decrease the number of suicides, individual shootings and mass murder incidents that have become epidemic in our communities. Other modern, democratic countries — with determined leadership — have taken similar steps and they have worked.

Yes, I realize this is an aggressive agenda with few easy chances for immediate implementation, but it is at least a specific plan, with “checkable boxes” that we could begin working on now.

— Cameron Case, San Rafael

U.S. should stand firm with pressure on Iran

We are at a crossroads to prevent the Iranian quest for a nuclear weapon capability. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action negotiations are deadlocked.

Israel has now publicly proposed a way for a better deal. Eliminate the sunset clause that allows Iran to develop nuclear weapons and the ballistic missiles to deliver a nuclear warhead and stop supporting the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas. Since Iran claims to not want a nuclear weapon, despite all evidence it is enriching uranium and developing the capacities to bomb Israel, and it wants to be delisted as a terrorist state, then Iranian officials should be able to agree. However, these reasonable demands, which would eliminate sanctions on Iran and free up the sale of Iranian oil, seem to be unacceptable to the ayatollahs.

Iran is experiencing civil unrest as the Iranian people want to free themselves from clerical rule that stifles their own economy and society. President Joe Biden plans to visit Saudi Arabia and Israel in July to discuss Iran and increasing Saudi oil production.

The U.S. should stand firm to keep the pressure on the Iranian regime and support the reasonable proposals the Israelis have put forward that are also supported by our Arab allies who fear Iranian intent to destabilize the region. Saudi Arabia and Israel are now aligned in ways that can help ease our gas price inflation as well as secure greater stability in the Middle East.

Surviving a Crypto Market Cycle

Except for the Bitmex news, there hasn’t been a major story to write about this week and with the decentralized finance (DeFi) theme going through a mini-winter since early September, it’s time for an educational piece. Bitcoin and Ethereum have matured a bit, but some crypto investors clearly went through a period of optimism and greed this summer when it comes to the altcoin market. As experienced investors like to say: Markets take the stairs up, but the elevator down. Are we in a new crypto bear market? Let’s have a look!

What’s a Market Cycle?

One of the most famous images when it comes to market cycles is the legendary Wall Street cheat sheet, portraying a full market cycle paired with common emotions felt during the various stages. To simplify, we divide a market cycle into two stages: A bull market (optimism) and a bear market (pessimism). Jason Zweig once wrote: “The market is a pendulum that forever swings between unsustainable optimism and unjustified pessimism. The Intelligent Investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.” Many market participants fail to recognize the cyclicality of markets but to avoid being off-guard, knowing the different phases of the market cycle can be incredibly valuable. It allows one to risk appropriately and position your portfolio for what lies ahead. Market psychology plays a big role in price performance and any investor or trader that spends enough time on social media platforms like Twitter knows how obvious the various emotions can be at times.

Another way to think about market cycles is through different stages, which was popularized by legendary trader Wyckoff. Each cycle first goes through an accumulation phase. After early investors are done accumulating, the market enters the markup phase where prices go up for a prolonged period of time. Once the market reaches its peak, a distribution phase takes place where sellers start to overtake buyers. After distribution at the top is finished, the market enters a markdown phase where prices trend lower until they reach a bottom. Once a bottom has been reached, a new accumulation phase begins and the market cycle is complete.

Crypto vs. Traditional Markets

In traditional markets, a full market cycle can take a decade or more to play out. The crypto market is different in the sense that because of the immaturity of the market, cycles are faster and more violent. Bitcoin, the oldest cryptocurrency, is barely 11 years old and has gone through at least 3 major cycles so far.

Cycles in the altcoin market happen even quicker and can be very obvious in hindsight. This summer the market was filled with optimism caused by the decentralized finance (DeFi) craze. Everybody was making money, prices only went up, private sales became overcrowded and public listing instantly made 5-10x. Barely 2 months later, prices of most altcoins are down 60-90% across the board. No altcoins seem to be immune when it comes to market cycles. That said, Chris Burniske, a partner at venture capital firm Placeholder, posted an interesting tweet in reaction to many investors claiming that another crypto bubble had just popped. He pointed out that, In the grand scheme of things, the crypto market barely moved over the summer. Were DeFi participants too optimistic during the summer? Likely so. Were we in another big crypto bubble? Probably not.

What Comes Next?

I believe it’s useful to make a distinction between the overall crypto market and the isolated DeFi craze earlier this year. Some DeFi projects found product-market fit and optimism surrounding the new innovation was reflected on the altcoin market in general, quickly ending in unstainable optimism once again. Prices are now going through a necessary correction with altcoin charts and sentiment clearly trending down. Unless you’re an investor that focuses on dollar-cost averaging, interesting opportunities in the market have become more scarce. As @QwQiao pointed out earlier this week, there is still a bit of hope in the market despite the strong sell-off, which could imply that we haven’t found an altcoin bottom yet.

If we take a broader approach and look at crypto in general, bitcoin has barely moved despite several (bad) news events in the past few weeks and is this year’s best performer compared to all traditional markets. There is definitely uncertainty in the markets due to the Coronavirus crisis and upcoming US elections and if global markets were to correct further, it is not unreasonable to expect that crypto would follow along. Correlations across all markets have risen significantly so sentiment in traditional markets will likely transfer to the crypto market as well.

The 2018-2019 bear market seems to have ended and different metrics show continued growth and positive signs of adoption. Due to the massive stimulus and money printing attempts by central banks, more and more traditional and institutional investors have started to look at crypto as a possible inflation hedge and ‘smart-money’ continues to enter the space. Crypto is nowhere near the mainstream attention it received in 2017 and it looks like further growth is possible.

  • Ethereum Browser and Wallet App Metamask Now Offers Token Swap Functionality. Crypto’s popular browser extension Metamask now allows users to swap tokens from within the app itself. The news was announced on Tuesday, claiming that the new feature would request token prices from decentralized exchanges (DEX) and aggregators so that users can get access to the best prices available. MetaMask will support Uniswap, Airswap, Kyber, 0x API and more. This approach means that users won’t need to navigate these platforms individually to find the optimal price. On top of the new feature, the Metamask also announced it had reached and exceeded one million monthly active users, stating that ‘adoption of DAOs, Web3 games and the rapid consumer uptake of DeFi products and services has further accelerated our growth curve.’ Read more

  • FCA Bans Crypto Derivatives for Retail Consumers in the UK. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published final rules banning the sale of derivatives and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that reference certain types of crypto assets to retail consumers. The financial regulator considers these product to be ill-suited for retail consumers due to the potential harm they pose, claiming that they could not be reliably valued by retail consumers for several reasons. the ban will affect “the sale, marketing and distribution” to retail investors of any derivatives contract or ETNs that linked to “unregulated transferable crypto assets”, including major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ether and XRP,  issued by entities in or outside the U.K.The U.K. ban will come into effect on Jan. 6, 2021.

  • John Mcafee Sued by Securities and Exchanges Commission for ICO Promotions in 2017-2018. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a suit against crypto investor and promoter John McAfee for his past promotion of initial coin offerings (ICOs) on social media. The complaint read that “from at least November 2017 through February 2018, McAfee leveraged his fame to make more than $23.1 million U.S. Dollars (“USD”) in undisclosed compensation by recommending at least seven “initial coin offerings” or ICOs to his Twitter followers.” Specifically, McAfee is accused of not disclosing that he was paid to promote the ICOs by the issuers and that the encouraged investors to purchase the securities sold in certain of the ICOs without disclosing that he was simultaneously trying to sell his own holdings. In a separate action by the Department of Justice (DOJ), McAfee has been charged with tax evasion. McAfee has been arrested in Spain where he is pending extradition and could face a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each count of tax evasion. Read more

  • Trump’s Tweet Storm Is Swaying Global Markets Again. Conflicted Twitter posts from Trump today have swayed the markets. U.S. stocks slumped on Tuesday while Treasuries surged after Trump tweeted that he had decided to halt stimulus talks. His posts during the Asian hours on Wednesday – calling for support for airlines and the Paycheck Protection Program – helped erase losses in U.S. stock futures and Japanese shares. Most Asian currencies crept lower amid uncertainty over the next round of U.S. stimulus. In total, Trump tweeted or retweeted just under 40 times in the space of two hours. That’s boosting market volatility, which has already picked up this month after Trump tested positive for coronavirus as investors grappled with the existing uncertainty surrounding the U.S. election and a stimulus deal.

  • Central Banks Flip to Gold Sales After Record Rally. Central banks became net sellers of gold in August for the first time in a year and a half, in the latest indication that demand for the metal is slowly following a record setting rally. Global central banks sold a net 12.3 tonnes of gold over the month, according to estimates published on Wednesday by the World Gold Council, an industry-backed body. The shift came just as the precious metal reached a record high above $2,070 a troy ounce in early August. It has since fallen more than 8% to $1,890 per ounce. The latest data reflect the pullback of some major buyers as countries free up resources to deal with the coronavirus crisis. Read more.

  • Black Holes Suck in the Nobel Prize for Physics. On October 6th, the Nobel-prize committee awarded the famous honour in physics to three people who have led a decades long effort on understanding black holes. Half the prize of SKr10m ($1.1m) went to Sir Roger Penrose of Oxford University, who built on Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity to predict how black holes could form in the universe. Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel, of the University of California’s Los Angeles and Berkeley campuses respectively, shared the other half for their decades of work mapping the movements of stars around the centre of the Milky Way. Their studies demonstrated that this is the site of an enormous cosmic object, which is assumed to be a supermassive black hole. Read more

The Importance of Trading Psychology

Many skills are required for trading successfully in the financial markets. They include the abilities to evaluate fundamentals and to determine the direction of a trend. I write this newsletter to help my audience with this but the self-improvement section is designed to help my readers with something even more important: a trader’s mindset.

As my followers will know, containing emotion, thinking quickly and exercising discipline are components of what we might call trading psychology. There are two main emotions to understand and keep under control: fear and greed.

Understanding Fear

When traders get bad news about a coin or stock, they naturally get scared. They may overreact and feel compelled to liquidate their holdings and sit on the cash, refraining from taking any more risks. If they do, they may avoid certain losses but may also miss out on some gains.

To avoid this, we need to dissect fear. Fear is a natural reaction to a perceived threat. In this case, it’s a threat to their profit potential. Quantifying the fear might help. Traders should consider just what they are afraid of, and why they are afraid of it. But that thinking should occur before the bad news, not in the middle of it.

By thinking it through ahead of time, traders will know how they perceive events instinctively and react to them, and can move past the emotional response. Of course, this is not easy, but it’s necessary to the health of an investor’s portfolio, not to mention the investor. For more on this, reread the market meditation that discusses risk appetite.

Overcoming Greed

There’s an old saying on Wall Street that “pigs get slaughtered”. This refers to the habit greedy investors have of hanging on to a winning position too long to get every last tick upward in price. Sooner or later, the trend reverses and the greedy get caught.

Greed is not easy to overcome. It’s often based on the instinct to do better, or get just a little more. A trader should learn to recognise this instinct and develop a trading plan based on rational thinking, not whims or instincts.

Greed as a problem or even an evil is a story as old as time. It is one of the cardinal / seven deadly sins within Christian teachings which are contrary to the seven heavenly virtues. Thankfully since then we have managed to come up with some ways to manage or overcome greed.

The bottom line: if you are investing time and energy into your trading technique, make sure you match that with ample time spent developing your trading psychology. Trading technique is a necessary but not sufficient condition to your success in this space; be sure to use this section of the newsletter regularly to grow and challenge your mindset.
