精华 苦辣酸甜难书尽,成败得失笑谈中

Amazing you had the opportunity to Nova Power so early ... I believe having children reading Buffett's letters a few times when they are in college is a must ...

What you or I believe in or what opportunities Mr. Market has presented us doesn't mean squat! At the end of the day, what matters is that Mr. Market is full of millons of participants each and every day or if you or I have the vision and courage to grab what Mr. Market presents! I also had the opportunity to own NT (BNR when I first arrived in Ottawa) around 2.5 or JDS around 1.5 or RIMM around 10 --- all before many forward splits! What matters is that I did not grab those opportunities under the circumstances. I also had the opportunity to own DNDN at 2.7 just this year. I did grab the opportunity but I sold my May 10 calls after a double in 3 days when DNDN was trading in the low 4's in early April. It is all water under the bridge!!!!!!!

There is only one Buffett, one Livermore, one Lynch, one Graham, dude! And that kind of positions is already occupied long before you or me. Grand vision is great but obssession with big names without actual actions will get one nowhere. Mind trading is fun but one's blood boils and breathing fastens only when he/she puts money on the table.

As of today, I can tell you that my portfolio value has declined over 50% since the peak reached in mid-September. Does it bother me? You bet, it does bother me like hell! But when one plays with house money, one feels less pressure. Further, my trunk is loaded with SVA Jan. and April call options at 7.5, 10 and 12.5. All I need is SVA to move up a couple of points and I will laugh all the way to the bank but I firmly believe it will move upwards far more than a mere two or three points. Let me give out a bold prediction: SVA will move upwards very violently before next April and as soon as next week. I feel great about SVA partly because the co announced it is moving from AMEX to NASDAQ listing just three weeks after I sent in one of my suggestions --- whether management takes in my suggestion is moot but the point is their train of thought is alligned with mine!

Again, I very much appreciate your grand vision and your thorough analysis. But frankly, your obssesssion with big names like Buffett or Fairfax is way beyond me. Best of luck to you!
 
长时间无奈的按兵不动

1991-92[FONT=宋体]年全加月平均失业率高达[/FONT]15% [FONT=宋体]以上,我是生不逢时、毕业不逢时,大学很少雇人,我当教授的梦当时是无论如何也没法实现的,现在更不可能了。极度幸运的是,学界泰山北斗般的恩师在政界也识人无数,几通电话下来,我没接受面试,我们全家的饭碗就有了着落。实际上我的奖学金还有一年才到期,并且因跟多重身份的恩师(兼雇主同事好友)处得极好,我当时是极度舍不得离开学校的。他老人家当时语重心长的劝告是“[/FONT]You can’t be a student for life even if you are the best.

You have come across many opportunities. I am sure you will come across more in the future. It is great that you are open with your commitments.

I like to swing too. It is just that I don't recognize SVA as an opportunity at this point. It may sky rocket as you mentioned. However, I haven't recognized it yet as a next elephant. Just my limitation ...

I think WFC is worth $100 in the next 10 years and I have a commitment there. It is rather plain. Of course, nothing is for sure but the chance is realistic.

I am looking into Central Pacific bank at this point. This is rather tricky and may turn out to be nothing....

Replied to your email on TSPT with my thought. H1N1 is real and won't go away tomorrow or the day after!
 
别了,心中的香格里拉

此烂文单独存麻烦,索性也放到这里,省得以后又没了。

此文写于与前女友分手四个月后的2005年10月,旨在为一段没有结果的感情划上句号,了却一桩心事。岁月如梭,事过境迁,文中所涉有些已不复存在。但文成于彼时,道的是彼时的心路历程,墨迹以不改为宜。

写在前面。

问世间情为何物?直使我寒夜立中宵!天高云淡,气爽风轻,千山红遍,万鹅南飞,景物依旧人事非,几多惆怅?三度春秋,月圆月缺,似胶似漆,如痴如醉;时至今日,天要下雨,娘要嫁人,情何以堪?心潮起伏,汹涌澎湃,提注铅秃笔,涂片语只言,寄对生离的哀思、托予旧爱的祝福!

益友良言,既然放不下,何不再继续努力努力,甚至让步妥协呢?毕竟退一步海阔天空嘛。不!择偶乃相互挑选,成人为事,三思后行,分手之沉之重,谁敢虚言戏语?既互不相适,迁就又能济事几何呢?已为人父人母因目的地有别都不再为伴、分道扬镳了,更何尝未诺未娶!此其一。

其二,语重心长的三番恳劝已达苦口婆心的境界,谋回心转意可谓已穷移山心力。凡事不过三嘛!江郎才已尽,回天尚乏术,除了无奈,夫复何言之有?

其三,人既去,情自了,断弦哪能再续、破镜岂可重圆?

再者,自视千里马一匹,岂有待食回头草之理?过去种种已如桥下之水,是否再遇巫山只看造化如何了!

涂鸦一片,诗不诗,词不词,联不联,赋不赋,旨在缅怀过往的温馨、哀悼逝去的缠绵!收下吧,亲爱的,这是为你写的。

别了,心中的香格里拉

旧痛方消,霹雳轰,新哀又添几许?茶还热,人已去,楼阁空。痛心疾首,撕肝裂肺,欲语泪先河!

故事神游,多情已令我华发丛生。忆往昔,公园巧遇,悦目赏心!回首一笑魂消,曼言些许魄散。电话未留,悔摧人憔悴。酒未思,饭不香,夜无寐,牵肠挂肚衣带宽,飘上雕鞍马不知!

喜从天降,电邮到,心率速,呼吸促。曲径流连忘返,湖畔倾诉难归,雄鸡唱消了残月,鸟语未闻花不香。灯下空天阔海,枕边暴雨轻风,颠鸾倒凤春闺乱,开怀写意逍遥尽,林二自此不早班,笑问今宵是何宵?嫌夜短,恨无能长锁时光,不转!

花同赏,酒共醉,影成双,梦长随。不曾花前月下的地老天荒,更不曾冰天雪地的海枯石烂,愿只愿沧海曾经的相知共山河俱在、巫山除却的相惜并日月同辉!

到如今,咫尺天涯,锦书难托。痛饮狂歌,唱不尽惊天泣鬼的千种惆怅;词百联千,书不穷刻骨铭心的万般无奈!缘乎? 份乎?命乎?不!不!!不!!!举杯邀月,嫦娥应笑我 --- 痴?纵张口即诵、下笔成章,怎敌那名车没买、豪宅未置,还有那破衣烂裤、缠身债几多!

烟灭酒酣,联尽词穷,罢,罢,罢!说再见,太沉重: 别了,心中的香格里拉。此去,关山万里,几许茫然?宇宙无穷,“谁悲失路之人”;盈虚有数,“尽是他乡之客”。 鸣呼!珍重珍重再珍重,愿无风雨也无晴!
 
Come on. Jia's Chinese poems and articles are pretty good.

We should at least respect each other. I think this is the basic protocol here.
 
Sinovac: a diamond mine or disaster mountain?

Boys and girls:

SVA has enjoyed steady climbs over the last few days. Nov. 16 is a game changer: it graduates from Amex to Nasdaq on or about Nov. 16; and the 3QER CC is at 9am, Nov. 16. As the PPS and trading volume rises, more and more traders will get in and out. As such, volatility will surely increase. Answer to my question in the heading will be given in a few days or more importantly, over the longer term.

I loaded most of my January or April options when the PPS was low- to mid-7's and now am enjoying some handsome paper profits. I regard these as house money and plan to let them ride.

这里是我储藏破铜烂铁的仓库,有人看我赚钱或者看了我的烂文不舒服,但请想开点,可别跳楼投河喝毒什么的。再来一厥歪词:

水调歌头 --- 2007中秋夜,为前女朋友填

才饮柴多内,再煮铁观音,吉普一路朝北,断崖绝顶处:眼前隔岸华灯、脑后凡尘喧恼,宁逸向谁买?心声相听时,只有你和我!

风习习、径悄悄、野茫茫。千古一摸,羞闭了当空皓月;更是拥抱长吻,嫦娥妒吴刚恨,凡间胜天堂!但愿情长久,余生如今夕。
 
I can't figure out SVA. Next Monday's presentation is a tradable event and I took a look at November $10 call but passed a few days ago.

The crisis of H1N1 in China certainly plays into SVA's hand ...

The crisis of H1N1 in China certainly plays into SVA's hand ...

I don't get into stuff if I can't figure it out. I was debating if I should get into SVA November 10 calls last Thursday at 0.05 as a lottery ticket. I finally decided against getting 200 for $1K as I could not emotionally afford another wipe out, even if just $1K. At today's close, that call would have been a 10-bagger and it is going higher comes tomorrow.

Since the big ARNA loss, I have stayed away from front month options.

Once China's H1N1 vaccine demand can be met by all producers, SVA will be able to export and that is when the PPS will really take off.

As of today, SVA makes and sells: Healive, Bilive, Anflu, Panflu (H5N1), and Panflu.1 (H1N1, world's first to market). I am treating Monday's CC as an information clarity opportunity rather than a trading event. But if the PPS skyrockets, I will sell some Jan. calls. I really don't want to sell any this year as my tax liability is already rather heavy but if I know the PPS is going to decline in advance, I will surely sell a portion.

Here are my SVA holdings, all up handsomely. I have sold the shares for a small profit.

SVAAU (1.72)
- SVAMU (1.63)
SVADB (1.27)
SVADV (0.82)

SVAAU and SVADV are my heavy holdings (rather significant number of options). I don't want to be a Monday morning quarterback but I am very confident these holdings will make me a boatload of cash come OE days if I can hold them until then.
 
SVA: What is in store Monday and thereafter?

Two monstrous events simultaneously: Nasdaq debut and 3QER! How will Mr. Market react? Can the performance of CAGC uplisting be repeated? Monday will tell all! Here is how CAGC perfromed moving from OTCBB to Nasdaq on September 21.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=CAGC

There was a combination of factors in play yesterday that destroyed the steady rising pattern and caused the extreme volatility:

1) Rumours had it that two H1N1 vaccinated people died, cause unexplained;

2) SVA registered with the SEC to trade on Nasdaq and at the same time delist from AMEX.

Big boys monged FUD over the death rumour and the share registration as shell registration and effected a violent stop loss harvest.

Anticipating a shakeout of some sort during the course of trading yesterday, I grounded myself firmly. Being fully loaded, I did not take advantage of the nosedive to add on the cheap. The only thing I did was swapping some SVAAU (7.5 calls) for SVAAB (10 calls).

Positions are taken, can't wait until Monday to judge if I am brilliantly right or deadly wrong!
 
1) Rumours had it that two H1N1 vaccinated people died, cause unexplained

that happened in China, since it happened in China, I guess SVA will be fine.
