World of Goo

Terrific game. Physic engine is the key. 

Irish Coffe

Cool! Easy to make and great taste. 

2005 Quilceda Creek Columbia Valley

Upon opening, a little nose of alcohol, blackberry. Dark red, a little brown rim. Fruity, plum and tannic flavor, a little chocolate and earthy. A pleasant finish. Show balance and potential to develop already. See what happened after decanting. No big change after 2+ hrs decanting. A good wine, but definitely need time to develop. Will revisit after 5-10 years.

The liquid gold

What are the most expensive bottles for vintage 2005? Romanee Conti DRC, Petrus? For French wines, definitely. But check out this one: Scharzhofberger Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese, Weingut Egon Muller.  

It seems crazy. But TBA is the crown of Germany wines. And E. Muller's Scharzhofberger TBA is the pearl on the crown.

1982 Chateau Gruaud Larose

Brick red color.

Drink after 1.5 hrs decanting.  Very deep nose of chocolate, espresso. In mouth, smooth and powerful. Can feel oaky, black berries, earthy and floral. A long finish. 

After 2 hrs decanting, the chocolate and espresso flavor peaked. 

After 3 hrs decanting, the earthy and chocolate flavor faded. Fruity and floral flavors began to dominate.

A good wine.

Trend Following

If you ask me one way to become millionaire overnight, the suggestion is betting again trend. Again, if there is one way to blow up ASAP, it's betting again trend. 

It's not contradicted if you know the theory of probability and fat tail. Trend is something so smart that can make Richard Dennis as well as something so stupid can bankrupt Lehman Bros. and Bear Sterns. 

Trend following theory may be compensated by Elliot Wave. Or more accurately, it's just another detailed branch of trend following. The reason why it's so popular than hysteria and panic is because when people need a belief, they need that belief so philosophy, so humane, so robust to trust.. That's Elliot wave.

The experience of a trader would be the learning process of how to guess trend from past history, and also, how to exclude his personal emotion from the unbeatable trend going or turning. So my suggestion is: Forget "Buy low and sell high", "timing is everything". These are BS. I will tell you a more detailed nonsense investment motto:

It's all about trend, nothing less, nothing more.
