Beware! Monkey see Monkey do

I heard this story from a seminar, it inspired me and would like to share, with some modification. 

The story goes when a certain tribe hunts monkeys, they cut a coconut in two, place an orange in the middle and then put them back together again, with a hole cut in the middle that is big enough for a monkey’s hand to go through. When the monkey smells the orange, he puts his hand in the hole, grabs the orange and then cannot free his hand with the orange in his fist. The monkey would refuse to let go of its “precious” even when the hunters came to catch it.  The monkey is clueless of the trap in a first place, when trapped it insists to hold onto the orange eventually lose its freedom forever. 

In current world of investment, we usually hold onto something so called "asset" which eventually become a debt for a long period of time.  We are framed into investing in future but rather get ourselves stuck in modern enslavement succumbed to the wealthy corporate interests.  The more you wanna yourself catch up with the current market trend, the more you turn into a monkey yourself.  After all, the word "money" and "monkey" different by a letter "K" which is so called KNOWLEDGE. You want money but do not want to become monkey, then throw all the so called modern investment "knowledge" away!as they are ultimately devoid of facts and deceiving.

Besides the inspired story, listed the key words I can still remember...

1. make money ≠ grow money
2. silver - industrial demand - inventory - essential for barter
3. gold - investment demand - wealth preservation 
4. 5G: Gold & Silver - Ground - Grubs - Gas & Oil - Gun
5. money mastery
6. invest in people
7. food - sex - money - politics
8. invest to flip (>30%) - invest to rent(>8%)
9. fast - desired income - prolong - loan instalment - legacy
10. 2 years from now (i.e. 2015) are we ready?

Beware to get trapped when Monkey see Monkey do.  Share with you this jazz song and wish you all the best in this ruthless world of investing.

First ever scale of Pleasure! Marketing Gimmick?

    With 80 participants, neuroscientists from Birkbeck University and Myndplay EEG brainwave reading headsets, the study want to find out how every day pleasures compare. Then make the first ever scale for measuring pleasure.  In association with chocolate brand Beyond Dark and technology company Myndplay, the first ever 'measure for pleasure' has been formulated.

    In an economy where every penny counts, an unexpected windfall generated the highest and most sustained level of pleasure amongst all participants. And winning £10 was all it took to dramatically increase people’s feelings of pleasure.In addition men were revealed as most affected by winning money, scoring as high as 90.1 when they were surprised with £10, while women were less impressed, scoring 79.3.  This EEG experiment proves that money can really buy happiness!

Who are the genius coming up with this scale? Let's put our hand together to welcome ...

Now you vote.

Is this a Marketing Gimmick?
