Antoni Gaudi Buildings – Barcelona

Comments 1 comment

My favorite part about Barcelona, Spain is Gaudi’s buildings! I personally think this is what makes Barcelona Unique and world famous! Antoni Gaudi was an architect who had a highly original and distinctive style ! To me he was a genius ! In his buildings you can see the amount of thought he had invested in each detail. In addition to building flamboyant buildings, he incorporated functional design in ceramics , stained glass iron work and carpentry  ! You could…

Most cities have a building that is used to identify the city  or that comes to people’s mind when they think of that city . Paris has the Eifel Tower , Toronto has the CN Tower and Barcelona has the Sagrada Familia .

I came across Keysight Technologies on BNN . It was recommended as part of two BNN guest’s top picks.

Some points that she highlighted I found attractive: 50 percent of their businesses is repeat business 5 G deployment will require products offered from this company to…

Snapchat Put – 32% Return in less than a week !

I had bought a Snapchat put on  Aug 7th, 2017 to offset  the downside risk of my equity long position. Especially to protect it against large possible downward movements last Friday – when SNAP’s second quarter earnings came out. I paid $505 for a put contract for 500 shares with an Aug 18th expiry rate and a $13 strike price.  The $505 is the premium I paid for the downward protection.  I mainly bought it to offset  the risk of…

About five weeks ago I picked up SNAP for a short term trade. I wrote about it here . I made a few mistakes with this trade. Mistakes  I had bought the stock at $17 per share and had watched it run up to almost $18 – choosing not to sell at this point. Greed can at times mess up short term positions. At that time I didn’t realize a key event that was on the horizon for SNAP. The…

Earlier this week I had opened a long position in Katanga Mining (KAT.TO) for a short term trade. Some earlier posts about KAT.TO .  Today, I had sold my position for a 2.5% gain. If I had set my sell target just a bit higher I could have made a 5% gain. However, KAT.TO didn’t behave as I had expected – wrote about my expectations earlier in this post . I  am human so I do feel bad that I…
