We have to wear two hats: one for an investor and one for a socialist. Hope to balance
between the two. Most successful investors share their wealth with the
poor. I share it via my income taxes compulsorily when I make money.
GILD is not doing great recently for stock holders. If the company is
not successful, less funds would be fueled into exploring new drugs.
For poor countries, prevention is more effective than the cures.

No good leaders
I'm
neutral in politics as I want to seek the truths and hope to help our
country.
If we cannot find good leaders, we may have to outsource it to other country (the constitution does not say we cannot and China is not bad LMBAO). Or, we let the computer to govern. At least, the computer does not have his/her own agenda, is totally honest and think more billion times before it expresses his ideas. The above is a humor just in case.
Returning to reality, very seldom we have the same political party having presidents for 3 consecutive terms. But, this could be the exception. I hope I wake up from a nightmare.

Big mouth and small brain
Trump's big
mouth moves faster than his small brain.
He is NO presidential material. So is Hillary. We have to choose the lesser of two devils. Both should go to jail. We REALLY have to fix the political system (and education system with too many 'educated' voters for Trump). We may be in the first generation that we do not have good leaders. Start with campaign financing, promises, budget...

Solar companies and UBer
As
in my posts many months ago, I stated to stay away from solar stocks even
the best ones. They cannot compete with cheap Chinese solar panels (we
fixed it by banning them to come in) and higher quality from EU. With falling oil
prices, you can only compete with tax credits. The ad says "the
government pays for the panels". What happens if the subsidies stop?
UBer works better in China. Every city folk carries at least one mobile phone and their equivalent Apple Pay has been popular for a long while. In addition, they do not carry guns and they do not commit serious crimes (if you do and are caught, you die). The only obstacles are traffic jams and the efficient (clean and advance) subway systems.

Seeds falling on fertile soil will prosper
“Excellent book (Complete the Art of Investing I guess), recommend to all investors… great knowledge. It's fine tuned my investing strategies… Your book is hard to set aside, as I read it all the time learning good techniques and analysis of stocks, ETF...” - Aileron, July, 2016.
It is hard to satisfy all readers as everyone's knowledge, background, risk tolerance... are different. This reader has the right idea to integrate his (or her) current strategies with what he learns from my (or any) books on investing.
Will take a break on books and be back to investing and other tasks. The father of modern trading died losing most of his money. He did not follow his own preaching. Do not want to commit the same error.
Most books are close to final. Will upgrade them less frequently. I write books for fun. So far, all book profits (they're very small) are donated to charities. If you find the books are useful, please write a review in Amazon.com.
Taking a break
I try to make the Table of Content the first post (actually last) in July for easier reference.
I will re-post some I did during this period but not published here. Most of them were posted in Seeking Alpha.
