Hawk and Dove!!!

"Dovish
Refers to the tone of language used to describe a situation and the associated implications for actions. For example, if the Federal Reserve bank refers to inflation in a dovish tone, it is unlikely that they would take aggressive actions. Similarly, a CEO might use dovish language to describe an important event facing the firm. This indicates that the firm is unlikely to take strong actions. Dovish sometimes means conciliatory. Opposite of hawkish."


"Hawkish
An aggressive tone. For example, if the Federal Reserve uses hawkish language to describe the threat of inflation, one could reasonably expect stronger actions from the Fed. There is a similar application to CEO describing an important issue that a firm faces. Opposite of Dovish."

Capital Gain Defined

"DEFINITION of 'Capital Gain'
1. An increase in the value of a capital asset (investment or real estate) that gives it a higher worth than the purchase price. The gain is not realized until the asset is sold. A capital gain may be short term (one year or less) or long term (more than one year) and must be claimed on income taxes. A capital loss is incurred when there is a decrease in the capital asset value compared to an asset's purchase price.

2. Profit that results when the price of a security held by a mutual fund rises above its purchase price and the security is sold (realized gain). If the security continues to be held, the gain is unrealized. A capital loss would occur when the opposite takes place."

Months Become Days (Motivation!!!)

Allow me to preface this blog post...I never sit at a table to create, haha!!! I use my smartphone and/or laptop in front of the TV while watching CNBC or Bloomberg TV....and occasionally create while listening to hip-hop of the Trap Music variety as well the Kaskade/Rony Seikaly type of music. I just like the image projected from the picture above :-) *smile*


Anyways...shout-out to all those that read my blog! Let's elevate the collective! Oh yeah....on to the motivation:





Minus the darkness of people using ad blockers (I use adsense, nothing crazy with fill the whole page ads)...and that slowly becoming the norm all credit be to Apple with IOS9. 6-months after launching a couple versions of my blog/website I was able to add adsense. After the first 60-days I was not sure if I could even recoup the yearly domain fee.

However, I stayed the course (Growing my twitter following, increasing my blog posts, increasing my engagement with non Iceberg Gem content) much like the stock market and tweaked as need be through the ups and downs in order to reach my next goal. Granted a small accomplishment several months later, but my monthly accomplishments became daily accomplishments. Rinsing and Repeating as I type! Hustle! Hustle! Hustle!
