Playing the TAG game :-)

I hope you wanted to know 5 things about me that you didn't know because I've been tagged by Canadian Dream 45 :-)

Let's see if I can find 5 entertaining facts ...

1. I learned valuable stock trading lessons early on(and I'm really glad it happened before I had time to do more damage!): I had bought 3 Nortel stocks at 120$ and finally sold them at 12$. That was when NOT to buy. I've then bought 100 stocks at 1$ and sold them at 10$ ...that was when to buy :-)
2. Despite all my good advice, I keep trading too much outside my RRSP (because I like stock picking). I'm not a day trader though!
3. I had setup an Adwords campaign to see if it would boost traffic to this site ... not working that well :-) (links from popular blogs seem to be the most traffic generating event)
4. Yes you know I practice martial arts now, but did you know it's Wing Chun Kung Fu (and we should really say Gung Fu)?
5. I got lost in translation in Japan! Imagine my wife and I having to go to our hotel in Tokyo, 11:30pm and no cab (of a specific type we learned later) would take us and we couldn't understand (literally!) why so we walked with our luggage in the middle of downtown Tokyo and finally found a cab that took us after when he looked at our paper (but he still didn't speak English!). The rest of the trip was fun though :-) Basically, fact #5 is that I like to travel a lot!
