Temporary absence

Dear Readers and Visitors,

This is just a short note to let you know that I will be away temporarily from the cbox for say a couple of months starting next week.

Something has turned up for me this weekend, sooner than expected. It is not investing related but something very meaningful to me that I would prefer to put more focus on. Also, there are other personal projects that I have not started/spent enough time on. Hence this temporary absence.

When I looked back at 2007 year, I thoroughly enjoy investing and trading. Perhaps worthy to mention is that even if I don't earn a single cent from today onwards, 2007 will already be by far, the best investing year in my life. Looking back, investing has grown to occupy far more than what I had orignally intended at the start of 2007, so, this temporary absence seems timely to reseek balance.

I will still trade but occasional and private. I will miss the cbox. To me, the cbox has been a great learning place, very motivational and very enjoyable place to be. I could spend my time there all day, but it would be counter productive to my new goals …

In case some of you may speculate that my sabbatical has something to do with maximizing returns from a market timing perspective, the latter simply has nothing to do with my temporary absence.

So, do continue to chat in my cbox. Treat this like your own home, a place where you can make new friends, keep old friendship, exchange and explore new investing/trading ideas, a place where you generally find it useful for your own personal investing development.

For your information, the cbox still receives over 1,000+ views a day. There are 200 registered members there, and a few gurus such as Dali, Moolah, Newbie, Bullbear and others ... In fact, the first 2 were recently elevated by mainstream media to "super-star" status :-) So, I trust I won’t be missed that much as I have never blogged full-time, but only sometimes.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their fantastic support and for making this blog so enjoyable for me this year. I truly think everyone there is simply the best, and I wish you all the best in the near future!

Merry Christmas, Happy 2008 New Year and A Happy Chinese 2008 New Year to all of you in advance!

Cheers!

Seng.
