"It was the best of times,
it was the worst of
times;
it was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness;
it was
the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity;
it was the season
of Light,
it was the season of Darkness;
it was the spring of hope,
it
was the winter of despair;
we had everything before us,
we had nothing
before us".
- A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
The above quote was taken from Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, where he referred to the French Revolution, but he could have been referring equally to the current global financial meltdown.
I received 18 cents per share for my stake in Eng Wah today, and bought 5 books - Show Me The Money, Volume 1 to Volume 4 and School of Warrant, so that I can shore up my financial investment knowledge and invest intelligently.
Based on my current estimations, it would take another 5 years for me to reach my first breakthrough goal and for me to retire in exactly 10 years' time.
