Adubs becomes a stock investor $$$

So a few weeks ago I started to seriously look at entering the 'stock trading world' as an investor with some money/duckets/benjamins I have saved.

Being Canadian and not sure I know EVERYTHING about what I was doing, I invested a small amount in a company I have tons of faith in...Ford Motor Company.

So basically I set up a 'Self Directed Stock Trading Account' with my bank CIBC. It cost me $28.95 to purchase up to 1,000 shares. I bought $1k worth and the bought me 136 shares in 'F', at $7.07 per share. It's gonna cost me another $28.95 to sell my stock. So basically at this time and about 1.5 weeks after my initial investment this is where I stand.

Own 136 shares which were purchased @ $7.07 USD = $961.52.
Today each share value is $8.47 and net change of $1.40 per share.
This means I made $190.40 - $57.90 ($28.95 x 2 purchase/sell) = $132.50 (give or take a few bucks for the currency coversion).

So I have made approx. $130 in 1.5 weeks...not bad...keep going Ford. I want to invest more...dunno if I go big in a smaller stock hoping it will explode...or put more in my long term plan...'F'.

The other company I have been watching is Zenn Motor Company from Toronto (ZNN-X). Their stock has gone from $4.25 to $6.00 in the last 1.5 weeks as I have been tracking...should have put some there too.

In any case, still lot's to learn...warning...VERY ADDICTIVE!

Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes (Music Video)

Some Animal Collective I get, other Animal Collective I don't get so much. I feel like they are pretty chill bro's that just got high with their keyboards and drums and made really 'high-level' indie dance music.

'Summertime Clothes' is one of those AC songs I actually do like...I dunno...makes me want to dance, but also makes me want to chill at the same time. This video freaks me out. It features Brooklyn's FLEX dance crew.



Apparently they even danced with AC in real life on Letterman...



So glad I didn't eat a pound of schrooms before watching that video. I think I may of freaked out even more and ate my arm or something...

Regina Spektor - 'Laughing with' (Music Video)

Regina Spektor first got on my radar with her last album 'Begin to hope' in 2006. This year she is back with a new album 'Far'. 'Laughing with' is her first single of the album and here is the video.



This song is 'ok' in my eyes. Lyrics are great, but I feel the song could be more. I feel like this song reminds me of Ms. Osborne in the 90's.



In any case, she is a wicked cool artist and though I haven`t had a listen to `Far` as of yet I recommend you check out the album `Fidelity`...it`s friggin awesome!

Kanye West - Paranoid (Music Video)

Hey ya'll....it's me again. I've been busy and straight lazy lately, but now I am back. Time to catch up on posts this week. First I'll start with a light one.

This is the new video for the song 'Paranoid' off of Ye's '808's and Heartbreaks' album (some people hate the album, but I like it...fresh sound...not the best Ye, but ok nonetheless).

The best part of this video is all the hot Rihanna shots obviously. Ye also changed the beat up a bit on this mix...a little quicker and dancier IMO.

Is this some type of 'anti-Chris Brown' video? What do ya'll think?

Eating a standard fast food combo

I just realized something today, post the hoovering of a Whopper w. Cheese Combo (obviously a Diet Coke to wash it down with, need to save calories somewhere!). I eat my 'standard fast food combo' the same way every time.

Here is my process:
- Consumer half of the fries (preferable with a dipping sauce)
- Consumer burger and fries at the same time
- The whole time consuming the beverage of choice

How do ya'll eat shit?
