Friday morning ... last day of the month as July 1st is a Monday, and new time0-table and schedules start. Last day for the first-half-year of my groups --- tratles, stock watch and stock-analysis group. So, those pages will be deleted today. I have created new pages for those continue to be with the respective groups.

While I do still have a full-time job to look into, with my new tuition classes commencing too ... I will place my focus into these three main group of mine, and many of them been with me since last year. To show appreciations ... I will improve to do better. Seriously, I have too many things in hand ... and it is very difficult to stay focus and do one thing at a time. TIME management is very important and I hv to accept that I need to 'let go' of few things ...

I will not let go of this blog ... it meant a lot to me. I have spent my 5 years blogging here ... yes, by AUG ... this blog will be 5yrs old ... and I may 'celebrate' the anniversary for my blog. Haha ... I used to spend hours reading many materials ... and putting my thoughts here, i dailyn basis. Along the way, I do got distracted ... with only 30+ readers initially ... obviously it grew ... and I could not stop the un-wanted attention. I have managed to drive many readers out of my blog some years back ... but things changed after I do have 'advertisements' and many followers. Indeed, it is an 'honour' to be recognised as a blogger ... and a financial-related blog?

Somehow .. along the way, I got upset ... as I m not a financial-blogger. I am not even a KLSE-blogger ... I m just a person who want to jot-down my thoughts in my own space ... talking to MYSELF. When I said I blog for my own views, some suggested that I might as well put it under 'private' and no one could view? Is that what I want? At a point ... yes. But ... now ... I realised that my blog could generate me some income!!

You see ... there are bloggers ... created blog, writing ... just to earn some money. I am not saying it is not right ... in fact, that is supposed to be? I dont know ...for years, I never bother to monetise my blog ... example, placing a google-ad and earn some 'extras' when people click on the ads. That is how the blog could be sponsored ... and the bloggers being paid!! Another one is to get some companies to advertise in your blog ... they do place conditions etc etc. Yup ... restrictions which I dislike. Already our gov controlling our media, our thoughts ... placing those advertisements with their conditions(example .... I cant blah-blah  ... or wash my laundry in public?) ... and needs to put good front for their products?

So ... I will use the blog to promote my own 'products' ... my group!! Yes, my trading group ... with those learning to trade and sharing ideas together. As I do know I have followers now, I should be more careful with what I am writing ... while I will still talk out-of-trading-topic most of the time, I will still place some analysis ...of some stocks.

You see, it takes me TIME to write an anlysis ... I prefer to write my blah-blah(example my ranting on the haze or the permanent ink?) anytime ... it is more emotionally beneficial for me(but an irritating read for many). It takes time ... and also trading idea ... sharing the learning-corner, with a hope those newbies-novices could learn something worth-while ... reading my blog!! With so many blogs to read out there, who will want to waste their time to read about your personal lives, right? haha ... true also ... haha.

To worth my TIME jotting down those analysis, I will want to take it private. So, last year DEC ... I spent some money, creating a new site(www.tratles.net ) but I could not keep up with it. The whole site been dormant for months now ... and I need to wake him up from hibernation. Time to re-start the pages or else it is a waste ... I have attended an internet marketing course too(costing me RM3.2k) last year FEB ... to learn the so-called tricks to market my 'products'. I started my stock-watch group last year Jan and my e-tratles too. SW is ok ... but e-tratles was not well-done, and I failed in that.


Failure : We need to celebrate failure more often.

Actually,I failed quite badly in promoting my blog ... as instead of making it 'friendly' to read ... or perhaps, writing what readers expect to read, I self-sabotaged my own blog? Haha ... I am good in chasing away readers ... and one of my tratle being frank with me said ... 'I no longer read your blog' ... hmm ... but, I have the history of doing that. Only those 'old' readers could know that I have huge mood-swing. haha.

market is opening soon ... I will be writing about the limit-down on 'Coastal' and 'HSPLant' later on ... but those still reading my blog from i3, you need to click on www.cpteh.blogspot.com or search for 'my trading adventure', ok?

Yes ... I am going to try to be 'friendlier' ... may be.

stock-watch : If you wish to join my trading group, do contact me at cpteh@yahoo.com as a new JULY group is starting new week!! All are welcomed.

Off to sell my MayBank and SKPetrol soon.
