The Northern part of Iceland is very unique. Closer to this area is where I saw my first cluster of trees in Iceland ! Note : In June the region surrounding Lake Myvatn has these buzzing insects that can drive you nuts . A lot of the attractions in the North are near this area . So make sure to take a hat with net to cover your face ! You can also buy it in Myvatn for about $7…
We decided to do drive around the Ring Road in Iceland this summer. The experience was incredible! I been to many places but none compares to the diversity of landscape, untamed nature and beauty of Iceland! We were able to drive around in 5 days with many stops along the way. We spend the last two days in Reykjavik. When we were planning the one thing I stressed about was affordable accommodations. Hotels in Iceland are super expensive during peak…
In all my travels I have found Iceland to have the most amount of travel blogs to help plan various drives ! There are many good blog postings that can help plan your South Coast Drive . I will add some additional tips and share my experience. I have done the South Coast Drive both in Winter and Summer. South Coast Drive for me is from Reykjavík to Höfn. How are the roads ? The roads are mainly flat ,…
Earlier this year I bought Hudson Bay Stocks at $9.20 . My reasons for buying the stock are highlighted here. I bought it as a short term trade , however right after I bought it the market took a hit . I held it because I believed in the fundamentals of the company and I had confidence I could ride it out . My patience paid off ! I sold it last week at $9.87 for a 7 % return…
In Toronto one of the symbols of Spring is the Cherry Blossoms in High Park . Cherry Blossoms are these white/pink flowers that blooms first on the trees before leaves . Entire trees are covered in these pink and white flowers . When a cluster of such trees are together they make for a stunning sight ! All of Toronto waits eagerly for this Season and High Park is usually very crowded at this time . Definitely find the time…
Empire State building is the third tallest building in New York and is world Famous. It is also taller than Rockefeller Center. I have been to both buildings. If I had to choose only one to visit in New York it would be the Rockefeller Center. The view of the Central Park from this building is unreal ! I found the views from Rockefeller Center to be prettier than Empire State building. If you can only choose one and want…
Came across a quote that made me pause recently. “Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.“ I have to admit I am part of the 85 percent! I don’t like to think. Thinking makes you uncomfortable at times . I prefer ignorant bliss . It’s easier to deal with and helps you avoid facing reality. Unfortunately for me I am past an age…
I am currently short term trading . I have recently bought HBC.TO for a short term hold . I bought it last Friday – March 16 th 2018. The market has taken a beating all of this week. Here I am early morning checking to see if I can get a rally today. In my view what goes down must come back up 🙂 ! I usually pick stocks that I have been monitoring for some time for short term…
