Long time, no see

Yesterday afternoon I was affected by a migraine attack. I had to go home earlier and lay down. It is certainly at least 7-8 years since I had a seizure last. After 14 hours I woke up. Thought I'd feel rested, but not so.

I am glad the seizure came late afternoon so I could go home and sleep without missing to much work.

Still in the dark ages

Although I should have received several dividends today, not one has been credited in my account.

This causes me to suspect that foreign dividends are booked manually. Each time the estimated payday is in connection with a weekend or holiday, the dividend is postponed. When the stock market goes down, it feels important to continue investing funds. Having to wait another day is incredibly frustrating.

Apparently, not everything is high-tech

I wish I could tell the future

I wish it would be well done domestic political work that strengthens our currency against the outside world and not the long-term fear of the ongoing trade war between the US and China.

Despite that, I'm going to take all the benefits I can of it. Every dividend that is credited to the account will be reinvested as soon as a purchase opportunity arises. I look forward to trading down the acquisition price.

I guess it is far from ATL but because I am a passive income investor and not a day trader my purchases are more long-term. I want to continue to replenish my money factory.

If you don't use it, you will lose it!

In this country I live in, less than 20% of all retail is being paid cash.

Our counterpart to CGD (Center for Global Development) believes that we will have a cashless society within a couple of years.

Even though more than 70% of population wants to able to use cash, they still pay with the credit card. The banks are uninterested in the unprofitable cash handling and will shrink it gradually.

Step 1 has already been taken, almost no bank offices handle cash. Instead, you are referred to deposit machines.

Step 2 is that these machines will be centered to larger cities, after that the machines will be reduced continuously until it is completely discontinued.

The state will speed up this work for the banks by blaming cash transactions as something only criminals deal with.

Personally, I see several advantages of cash. Apart from the fact that cash cannot be hacked, they also protect personal integrity. From bank account statement you can find out someones travel habits, interests, addiction problems and much more.

Why did cash abdicate as king?

Pleased to have "lost" money

Despite the fact that my portfolio has decreased considerably in value, I am happy, even very happy, that the stock market have become more worth buying. It is with great longing that I look forward to next week and the week after that when I expect some dividends.

It will be a real pleasure to make acquisitions in this market.
