5 Stocks to Buy in 2007

For stock investment in US, these are top 5 stocks to buy as recommend by Jessica Dickler from CNNMoney.com:

1. Altera (Charts)
2. Goldcorp (Charts)
3. Guess? (Charts)
4. Kohl's (Charts)
5. Schlumberger (Charts)

I’m very happy because out of these 5, I have already bought 2 of them. Based on the past history, the top 5 stocks picked by CNNMoney.com in 2002 are up 63 percent on overage. In 2003, the top 5 stocks have gained average of 41 percent on overage (wow!). Continue by in 2004 and 2005 are 19 percent up. Last years, the picked top 5 stocks which included Apple (Charts) and retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (Charts), are up by 28 percent. So what will be the magic number of percentage increase for these top 5 stocks in 2007? My expectation is 30%, then I certified myself make a successful investment. Wish me luck!

Bad Year for Snake in 2007

For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, I wish you guys Happy Chinese News Year. I know it is a little bit too late but anyway, it is not end yet until 15th in Chinese calendar. I hope I’m right 

This year is a pig year in Chinese Horoscope. Just a quick introduction of Chinese Horoscope for those of you who doesn’t know, you will be represented by one of the twelve animals based on the year you were born. Each animal has its own faith and many people especially Chinese depends a lot of them for their action in the coming months or years. To know more theory about Chinese Astrology, you can just check it out from wikipedia which I lazy to read. Therefore I’m not putting the link here also. I guess you won’t read it also. :D

Ok, here is the bad news. I don’t know for other zodiacs but for snake, almost everything is bad in this year. Although I don’t believe in this, but the sad thing is everywhere is trying to influence me to believe it (i.e. TV, Magazines, Books and forwarded email), all talks bad about snake. Even more sad news, it is not advisable to make any investment. :(

This is called negative affirmation from third party. Sometimes in this world, it is not the matter of discover the real truth or not but it is the reality that the human environment creates. The way how our mind is programmed creates the reality. How our mind is programmed is affected by people around us to think of you. That is the power of “Perceptive Reality” that I’m going to cover in next topic.

I need a way to break this bad affirmation from happening. I have 2 options. Option 1, go and pray in the temple. This is what most Chinese believe that can break the bad luck of snake this year. This way I borrow the power of believe from others to fight with this perceptive reality. Option 2, I fight for myself either by blocking all these negative affirmations from others and transform them to a positive affirmations before they gets into my mind. This way I’m holding my future in my own hand. Which option I should choose? I haven’t decided. Option 2 is a must and I’m still thinking whether I should go for option 1. Isn’t doing both is the best case? I don’t know. What do you think?
