New Job, found via Eluta.ca

Surprise, I have a new job and will be starting in March!

Looking back, this is job #4 in 5 years and it does not mean I am not loyal, just better opportunities do exist
Thankfully, each job does get better

Anyway, I just want to announce the good news and also share a few useful sites

Eluta - a simple Google-like Job Search website
- You can set parameters like Keyword, and Distance; as well as RSS and Email alert (I learned of my new job via the RSS feed)
- Much better than Monster and Workopolis in my opinions

RateMyEmployer.ca or Glassdoor.com
- If your company is on there, it's quite a read!

ELLA - Y0.M1 Ella is 1 month old 滿月囉

Ella is 1 month old before we know it, and the feed-sleep-poo cycle still continues
Lack of sleep is the norm for all of us at home

Sometimes I do feel like she should've grown up already (like a 3 months old), but I think I'll miss those days once Ella has actually grown up

• We do have a Chinese name picked up for her, finally
• Ella received her OHIP card (no picture)
• I completed the Newborn baby registration for her Birth Certificate, Child Benefits, SIN

Couple other things

• It's additive to hold her, and smell her, feeling her in my arms!!
• She eats a LOT. We use concentrate formula to supplement. Each case is 12 x 385 mL = 9240 mL after adding water. 8 feeding a day x 120 mL each time ~ 1L/day = Each case last only 8~9 days
• She has been awake after 3 am in the last few days

You Cannot Time the Market ... how I missed out $5400

Today's Bombardier news once again remind me of the impossibilities of timing the market
and I'll always wonder the "WHAT IF".

I'll let the charts explain better, Murphy's Law "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong".
The biggest issue I have is I still don't know why I sold it. If I needed the money, sure; but I didn't >__<

Bombardier BBD.B

• # of Shares: 3000
• Price sold: $4.85 on Jan 4, 2011 <- it hasn't moved much and I didn't gain much either.
• Price today: $6.65 on March 2, 2011
• Gains foregone = 3000 x ($6.65-$4.85) = $5400

Price chart BEFORE I sold, where it doesn't move much (6 months, +4%)

Price chart AFTER I sold, where it seems to only go UP (2 months, +32%)

Lessons Learned (and hopefully not repeated in future)

• If you have to sell your winner stocks, sell in blocks (vs. I sold all of them in one go)
• Don't sell, if you don't need the money for better use (e.g. pay down debts, emergency, better investments)
• You win some, you lose some. I still own stocks over 100% gain, thank god!
