Well here is a little update for ya all!
I'm happy that I have been out of the stock market, for now at least! They have been in such turmoil with erratic swings, so I guess it was a blessing of sorts.
I have nearly bought my furniture back, well 7,000 dollars out of the 10,000 needed. Jesus I'm being ripped off!
We won the court case with the land lord, but then he appealed, at least he has stuck his ugly head above ground....finally! So we go back to court next week, why doesn't he just pay us what he owes?? A corrupt imbecile I guess!
We have a new car, our son is over and our daughter comes next week. Bubble turned into copycasts.com and is work in progress! All but 1 of our debts are paid up, they were only ever debts to family members anyway.
So come on nasty landlord, pay us back today, it will then clear the rest of the furniture and finally, after a year, buy me a bed!! Anhhhh bliss!

Finishing up
I think I may finish up on marigolds blog.
I don't have enough money to buy any shares, which was meant to be the focal point on here, and I'm getting busy over on bubble.com.
I may come back one day, when my fortunes improve or you may just find me working in the local Ralphs!
Ciao and cheers, marigold

Snap out of it girl!
Well I'm fed up of being fed up! Time to stop and get my mojo back! After all I have my health and I have hope, which is something money can't buy.
I know I put my plans out there, but as the saying goes, make god laugh...tell him your plans!
So no more depression, only good from now on!
I am still searching for money, after all, you can never be too thin or too rich, so weight watchers start on Thursday and I am out actively looking for a job. I did think about applying to be on Deal or No Deal, but apparently it's been canned, in the US anyway! So need to find another game show so I can win lots of money!
Does anyone know any good shows? I will probably need help to stay focused on weight watchers too, so may be calling everyone for help. If any one wants to join me on the diet, drop me a line and we can swap recipes and motivational ideas.
Let's get this thing started!

Giz us a job!!
Still trying hard! How do people get rich?
Just how do they get stinking, filthy rich? Like the shares there must be a secret formula?
I was hoping to make my fortune on the shares, I still do, but I need money first! How can I get loads of money? How do people make money bloggin? Tell me!!
If you want to use this for your advertising, then I will happily accommodate you! Does anyone know how to really truely make money on line? I dont mean by writing adverts for google or anything. Im after serious cash?
Has anyone made money on the internet....let me know how!! If you want me to try a product that you are selling, then If its good, I will plug it to death here and on twitter, and, any where else too!
If anyone is looking and wants to help, my ideal job would be working 3 or 4 mornings a week. I would put in a bit of extra time on occasion if needed. Pay must be starting at $250,000 per year plus bonuses. Full health benefits of course and a company car would come in very handy. Holiday pay would be nice, but hey, lets not be greedy!
It is time, time to move onwards and upwards!

re:question
I had an email about the blog post I did yesterday.
It seems I am not the only one who is disappointed with visa or lack of visa acceptance by the US embassies. It is an ongoing drama in the Marigold household, as the situation is still not sorted out. I have got to the point where I am just fed up with it and I dont even like thinking about it. It stresses me and saddens me, and, it makes my tummy churn knowing we are going to have to go through another application in the next 2 months. If they refuse my son again, I cant see the customs allowing him to come back over. So, if you like, its encouraging people to break the law and stay in the states illegally. If they issue an ESTA, then they should allow someone to travel on it. The average flight is probably $1000, and not many people can lose that amount if they buy a ticket only to be refused entry at the port. My son is not a criminal or risk, he has returned within the 90 day limit every time he has visited the states. Yet he twice has had to go through questioning at the airport. He wants to come to the states because his parents and brother are currently living here on E2 visas. The B2 visa, can be used for a family member who cannot be included on a non-immigrant visa. Its written in black and white, so why is it not used for this purpose? What is the point of having this visa if it is not going to be issued? My son has a place at college, a flat he rents and utility bills in his name, so pray tell, how does he prove his ties?? GGrrrrr im getting annoyed again!
I have nothing against the American people, in fact, they have been nothing but lovely to me and my family. Its the system. My experience with diplomats has only been with 1: trying to organise visas and 2: an ex landlord who refuses to repay a security deposit of nearly $6,000. I have written and telephoned the mexican embassy where he and his wife are based, but they ignore me or hang up the telephone. Let me explain to you, here in California it is law that they repay security deposits within 14 days or give you a written explanation as to why they are withholding it. We have had neither. Infact, we have had nothing. So they are breaking the law, yes, they have broken the law just like a criminal. I have emailed the secretary of state, and explained... they have done nothing. I even emailed President Obama, and, still not so much as a sniff. So the American government are harboring criminals. They are protecting one who works for them, so they can get out of their obligations. Now, how would that make joe bloggs on the street feel? Joe Bloggs, who cannot afford to make ends meet, who has baliffs knocking on his door taking his possessions because he cannot pay his bills? Its double standards and it is not acceptable. Diplomats should be upstanding members of the community, yet they are criminals hiding behind the government and the government allow them to do so. How can they tell us how to behave when they are no better themselves?
Im sorry, but, it had to be said!
It was the down turn in the economy which killed my familys bank balance. No work for 1 year. yes, we are fighting back, but, its a long time coming. Our furniture still has not arrived from Europe. This is because the Removal Group, Birmingham UK, took payment for our possessions to be moved from Italy to USA. Once they had our things, they put the cost of the removal up another $10,000! So we cannot afford to have furniture. So yes, we have been sleeping on the floor for 1 year. We are saving every penny to re-buy our own furniture. We should have just put it into storage. But, now we cannot even do that as they will sue us for breach of contract. No matter what, they want the money. If it was just furniture I would say forget it, but its photos and pictures of my family from the past 20 years. Its personal items, clothes and books. yes, we have made do with 1 suitcase of clothes for the last year too! Again, its upsetting to think about, but if we bought new furniture and clothes, then it will be even longer before we can afford to get our things back!
Isnt my life so depressing!
Anyway, I feel I have a millionaire inside of me! I am so positive that I can make money on share trading. i have read so many books and paper traded for about 5 years, I know that one day I will get there, and, let me tell you....I am gonna have one hell of a party to celebrate!!

Update
Well, its been a while since I last reported back here, so I thought an update was in order! Where do I begin??
Firstly, nothing and I mean nothing has happened on the trading front....ha ha I hear you reply. Yes, feel free to laugh away, I would too if I was in your position! I still dearly want to make a living out of this trading malarkey, but hey, I just dont have a bean to spare. Its so depressing, one step forward and 8 back. I am still charting and reading many trading books, so the intention is still there, just the cash is not easy to come by.
In my personal life so much has happened. My poor nan died aged 93, so sad I could not attend her funeral. Back to the lack of cash, couldnt afford the flight from the states to the UK, so that made me doubly sad. Also a friend died, again couldnt return for the funeral. He has left 2 gorgeous little girls so a real real sad event and such a waste of a decent guy.
My eldest son was twice refused a visa to come over and stay with us. So we had to send every spare penny to him so he could put a roof over his head. They say at the embassy he couldnt prove his ties with the UK. That aside they dont have to treat people with such rudeness. Then the guy kept his passport which is highly illegal and then denied it. We had to fill out a file with the police saying it was stolen, but because it was a us diplomat we were told to forget it. So my son had to get a new passport (not cheap when I am broke), and of
course it looked bad when he tried to fly back to the states on it, they said he was trying to hide something. Its so frustrating. A lawyer told us there was no reason he was refused a visa other than the guy taking a dislike to him. It makes me so mad, we pay our way, pay all our bills and taxes on time. I walk down the street and see the mexicans touting for work, probably all undocumented. Dont want to sound bitter.......
Still havent got my money back from the pathetic guy of a landlord. Another diplomat hhmmmm! All the time I am so broke I am still sleeping on the floor.
So where do I go from here?
Onward and upward I hope. Does anyone have any ideas how to get some cash and quick? How have you made money? Lets pool our resources and get some ideas flowing, then we can all benefit!!

Fed up day
My up has never been so fed today!
I'm so down, fed up with being broke. You have to have money to make money, I haven't got any so I'm not making any! Really could do with 50,000 it so right now!
If anyone has any good ideas or wants to advertise on here, or just donate to me.....I'm all ears!
Oh well, back to the plotting!

Out of hours CTIC
Sold CTIC this morning for 0.40.
This was after a sleepless night when it crashed to 0.06 after hours. In fact it was after after hours, if you get my drift! It scared the crap out of me! I don't why this late night trading goes on, I'm sure it isn't legal?? You certainly can't do it on my trading account.
Anyways, got out of it at 6.31am pacific time, couldn't risk it bombing like that again! Hey ho, better luck next time!!
Happy Friday everyone!

Not a happy bunny
Well I still hold the 3000 CTIC shares, they did great for a few days, now they are just flat lining, so may move on soon. A couple of the shares I'm charting are making boxes, true Darvas style, so may well move my interests to them.
The last few weeks have not been good on a personal level. Everything looked and felt to promising at the start of the year. Life is a roller coaster and you just have to ride it! So that is what I am trying to do, might return to Europe for a few months. I was just starting to settle here to, but it's out of my hands.
I will try to keep my shares rolling, as I would dearly love to make a living out of them, but, have important issues to deal with right now. So I apologise if I don't post here very often, but I will make an effort to tell you everytime I buy or sell a share.
Happy spring time everyone, and hope you all have a prosperous time ahead. If anyone can fix it for me, I'd appreciate some good luck being sent my way.
Catch you all later xx

Took a punt
As you know I have been waiting patiently for the right share to emerge, using the Darvas box method. Anyhow, the markets have been terrible for the past 4 or 5 weeks, and I just have not had a buy point.
As I'm not the most patient of people, I have gone against everything I have learned and jumped in on a punt. Today, I bought 3000 CTIC shares for 0.38 a share. A total gamble and I could get my fingers burned!!
I know the Market dip in the last week has been because of the terrible events in Japan, my heart goes out to those poor people and I hope things improve for them very quickly.

Hang Seng index
I have been noticing lately how the Hang Seng Index has been on the decline. If you look at the monthly chart comparing it to, say, the Dow index, they are going in opposite directions.
I wonder if this will turn out to be significant?

....still waiting
It's been a bright and beautiful sunny Monday, how I enjoy days like these, it reminds me of what we came to southern California for!
The markets also felt the spring touch, they have been steady for a few days now. I'm hoping the shares I'm charting will start to form boxes. There are 3 which seem to be the strongest and are resisting the drops, these 3 are DBLE, DEPO and DTLK. I just need a push from one of them into a new box which will give me a buy point.
There are 3 others which have started to rise quite nicely, MOBI, ALJ and HF.
It would definitely be easier if there was a clear leader, I want to buy the right one! I'm hoping this week will make it obvious, I'm so ready to buy right now and start on the ladder to my millions!!

Super bowl
Hope everyone enjoys the Super bowl tomorrow. I'm afraid I really don't know anything about it, non the less, we have been invited to a super bowl party. So, not being one to refuse a party invitation, I look forward to seeing what all the fuss is about.
Staying on a sporting note, well done England for beating the Welsh at the 6 nations Friday night. Was great viewing and I can't wait for England vs Italia next weeked at Twickers!!!
Well, last week was a really good week. The 6 things I wanted to happen during February, well looks like 5 of them have arrived, don't want to jinx things, but it's not bad going for the first 5 days in Feb!
I hope next week is just as good, no wait, I'm being greedy! I hope next week is even better, and I hope it's a good one for you too!

Freaky monkey waiter
Just been watching Justin Lee Collins show Turning Japanese. I love his shows, but this one is a bit weird. In a bar he was served by a monkey, wearing what looked like a Micheal Jackson wig and mask. It just was not right. The poor little thing dropped some ice and looked petrified. It makes you wonder how it's treated when the tv cameras are not rolling. Seriously, it was disturbing, I don't think I will sleep well tonight, I'm gonna keep seeing the little chap!
Have narrowed my shares down to 3 again, but now I'm just waiting for a box to form and as soon as it pushes through to a new high, I will buy. Was hoping to buy into one by now, but I'm sure I will by this time next week.
Mr marigold finishes at his job next week and starts a new contract. This has been a long time coming, but you know all good things come to those who wait. So hopefully a new car is on the shopping list very soon! We got paid today as well from work finished last November, so feeling happier! In fact, from a list we made last Sunday, of 6 things we wanted to get sorted this month, 2 have happened, a 3rd and 4th are about too, so just 2 more to complete and we will feel we are finally getting there.

Which ones to buy??
Thankfully, the markets are improving after the rubbish that was the last 2 weeks!
If you know the Darvas method of share trading, you will know that the movements of the shares build boxes, therefore the top of the box being the buy point and the bottom the sell. Well, as I said before I had narrowed my choices down to 4-5 which were creating boxes. Most of these shares have bottomed out now and others are pushing through. So I'm still confused as to which to buy, and let's face it, it's not difficult to confuse me!
So I'm not going to buy just for the sake of it, but wait for a strong share to create a strong box and push through the top. I'm eager to buy, but I'm even more eager to get it right!
Please bear with me and as soon as I buy will let you know, then my plan will start.....finally

I'm so excited for the tennis tonight.....woooo go Andy Murray and be the first Brit to win a slam since 1936!!
Will be back to the shares tomorrow, the markets have been crap the past 2weeks, maybe not having a share to buy is my system working, haven't lost a penny!
For now go Andy go Andy!!

Andy Murray
Great game last night and Novak beat Fed woohoo! Now Andy Murray has to beat Ferrer tonight!! That will give me the best Austrailian final possible, and it will shake the rankings up a little bit. It's boring when the same people win all the time, so it's already makes for a nice change.
Also must mention, us Brits have a new kid on the block!! George Morgan is playing his way through the junior rankings at the moment and is already ranked at number 4! Let's face it, we don't have many good players, so we get over excited and have them winning Wimbledon.
Now to rename Henman Hill/Murrays Mount/ what goes with George Morgan?

Novak Djokovic
Good luck Djokovic against Federer in the Aussie open tonight, hope you win and wipe out that smug grin.
Of course, if Fed looses, he will have an excuse ready, and is rarely gracious in defeat. So go Novak, go do your stuff!

Thought I had better give an update on the share situation, since I posted my yearly targets.
Alot of people have said I can't do it, others have said I was brave to put it out there. Well, I have personal targets just like everyone else, I'm simply advertising the fact! If I'm successful then I'll be a hero, if I get no where near my targets then I fail miserably and you have the right to laugh!
In the last week the shares have dipped, but today rebounded quite well. This has changed my charts quite considerably. It has shown some shares I thought were strong, to actually be quite weak, whereas others have bucked the trend and have pushed through new boxes. So now a dilemma. I don't know which one to buy into. I want to be sure and buy the right one. Last week I'd narrowed it down to 3 or 4, but now I have 6 or 7 to choose from!
So instead of rushing, I'm waiting for the right share to show itself. I'm still standing by my targets, but want to get it right!

Roast dinner
I love Sundays! Got a slow roast in the oven and it smells divine!! It's been a glorious sunny weekend and I've overdosed on the tennis. Looking forward to the Murray match this evening, he has played brilliantly so far, please please let him continue to do so. Soderling is looking a little dangerous and Federer as annoying as ever!
The PI has tracked down the crooks which are our ex-landlords. They are down in Mexico. Talking with the courts tomorrow, we can still sue them in California as the house is CA. So just arranging for someone to serve the papers. I kinda wish I was able to do it myself, it would give me the biggest pleasure, but instead, I wait to see them in court!
The markets were crap last week, all my shares have dropped back. I'm hoping they will surge forward and form boxes so I can decide which ones I should buy. At the moment, I really have no idea which one to choose. It's fun charting though and I'm excited to see if I can get a doubler the first month!
Number one son made his acting debut in Hollywood last week, he is in a movie with Erick Avari!! Yay, looking forward to the red carpet!

Yearly targets
OK, I've been doing the maths, and, I have set myself a yearly target! Of course these are only targets, but let's see how close I can get to each one! On the 1st of each month I will let you know!
All amounts are in US dollars
1st February......1,500
1st March.........3,000
1st April.........6,000
1st May..........12,000
1st June.........24,000
1st July.........48,000
1st August.......96,000
1st Setember....192,000
1st October.....384,000
1st November....768,000
1st December..1,563,000
Target for 31st December 2011 $1,500,000
So as you can tell, I'm working on the theory that I can double my money every month, of course this is highly unlikely and I will be happy to make half the amount! But, you should have targets and you should aim high! And who knows, I may not double every month but, some months I may treble!!

Bank holiday
It's a bank holiday here today, Martin Luther Kings birthday I do believe! I didn't realise until about 11am!! Sharp as a button eh?
So no share news today, instead I'm catching up with UK telly, especially Dancing on Ice.Im hoping Comedy Dave Vitty does well. While I lived in Europe, always listened to the Chris Moyles show, so I'm routing for him. Speaking of Chris Moyles he has lost loads of weight, good on him. I miss his sacasim and dry wit, have to get a Sirius radio me thinks.
Not much else happening, number 1 son back to work after a pro-longed Xmas break, so will be quiet around the house. I'm going to make the most of the peace and enjoy the sun. After all, that's what bank holidays are for!! Have a good one, where ever and what ever you do.

Excited
I'm so excited and looking forward to this week!! I have such good feelings that I have reached a turning point in my life!
I'm waiting for a break through in my share charts, well a new break through of current boxes, so it will point me to which share I buy into next. I am so positive that we are at the beginning of a bull Market, I'm literally jumping up and down with anticipation!! Bring it on!
The Australian Open has started aswell... Yay ....... Go Andy Murray!! I would like to apologise in advance, I will probably bore every one witless with tennis talk!! It has already taken over every thing else in the Marigold household. So wee yay to the next 2 weeks of tennis!!
Also this week, I'm hopeful we will find the ex landlord who owes us 1000's in the American dollar. Can't wait to get hold of the slime ball.
Mr Marigold will hopefully get the new work contract finalised then we can treat ourselves to a shiny new car!!
That's what I call a perfect start to the new year......big yay !!!

Getting even
Wooo filled out the forms for the PI company today....yay. Read em and weep ex Mr Landlord, I'm gonna make life as difficult for you as I can, karma is a calling!!
Feel better for getting that out!
Shares have been doing well again, have some new ones starting to march, will tell you which ones next week, hope to buy back into the Market. Have spent the last 2 weeks charting, going for one which is up at least 20% on the month and doubled it's volume. Charting 20 odd shares at the moment, but have it narrowed to 3 or 4. It's definitely the start of a new bull!!
Happy times ahead, and rich I hope !!

It's Wednesday!
Hey everyone its Wednesday, half way through the week weewoo!
It's been a lovely warm sunny day today, just how you imagine so-cal weather to be! Its a pity the world didn't share in my happy mood!
I watched This Morning today and they were slagging off Katie Price, I don't like the woman but they should leave her alone. Then I watched Sarah Palin spout a load of rubbish, she really should not be allowed to walk the streets. Then the floods in Oz, floods and mud slides in Brazil, snow across half the states, money problems in Portugal and the euro zone.
Then it hit me!! Everything and every one is negative. No wonder we are all down in the mouth and depressed, only the bad seems to make the news. Wouldn't it be nice if we sat down to watch Eastenders and someone won the lottery? We put on the news and instead of shootings there was the Queen getting pissed at her local and dancing on her way home with Phil!! It wouldn't happen would it, it just wouldn't happen!
Well, to escape all bad depressing stuff, if I can make a living off the shares, then I have decided I'm going to buy a little house on the beach in Jamaica or some where chilled like that. I want to live a chilled life, with happy positive people.
My new philosophy.... Don't worry, be happy!

Dull Tuesday
Today was as dull as the weather! At least we don't have buckets full of rain like those poor people in Australia, I really feel for them.
Need to find a new share to buy into, have been a little distracted of late, but the markets have been bouyant and I'm certain the right one will make it's presence known, shortly. BSQR would have been ideal, NCT is having another flourish also. But, I was caught napping, so need to find a share building it's first boxes, I've found them before and I'm sure I will find one again!
Decided to get my act together instead of whinging. Have contacted a private investigator to find that nasty piece of work who calls himself a landlord and whose wife calls herself a US diplomat.... Yeah right, I'm sure she is. If anyone has problems with landlords in Carlsbad CA, let me know, and if it's the same one, I will happily pass on their where abouts when I find them!!
So positivity into tomorrow, Mr Marigold is trying to secure a new work contract. The company who brought us over from Italia are not paying enough for us to live on, and, after all, you go to work for the cash not the fun of it! I so miss our Italian villa, it was beautiful. So looking a moving from this tiny apartment in March when our lease is up. It would be good to finally start living and making friends in this new country.
Please shout at me if I get negative, need to be positive and get the things sorted that are bugging me, need to start a new fitness regime also! Care to join me??
Marigold says 'Dont get mad....get even'. ha ha

2nd week off the year
Well we are properly into 2011 now.
It was quite a good week in the Marigold household. Still have not managed to locate the missing landlord and still no sign of the money he owes us from 3 months ago. I came across a web page where you name and shame bad landlords, can't remember what it was called but it was something like Angry Tenents @ blogspot, maybe we should start a revolt! So if anyone has any ideas how to find this annoying individual, then I would love to hear from you. He probably does this all the time.
Waiting to be paid from someone else too, why are we always waiting for money? If i paid my bills this late, I would be disconnected from something or have bad credit, so why is it companies can get away with it?
The DVM is annoying too. We bought a car in August, from an auction. It had no plates on it which is quite normal for over here from what I understand. So we sent the paper work off last September and still have not heard back. This is in spite of emails and letters being sent, so Mr Marigold has booked an appointment to sort it out. Can't get an appointment within 3 weeks and it means taking an afternoon off work and loosing pay. Mean while, he has been pulled over by the cops 3 times as he has no plates. Really, it is such a ridiculous situation to be in. In this day and age, they really should have their act together!
Ok, I've had my moan today, I won't even get started on the postal system and the amount if mail which hasn't arrived or has got here opened! I've never had so many problems! Is all this normal for the states? It's like 1 step forward 760 back!!
Anyway, shares! I have been charting, but alas, all these problems are preventing me from buying in. At the beginning of December, one of the shares I found has done incredibly well, BSQR, it's just so frustrating looking at it and not being able to buy any, it's only gone up 300% since mid november! A real Darvas share.
Well, I'm fighting back and I can't wait to be buying into a share just like that one and telling you how much I have made. Just wish those days would blimmin hurry up!!

Finding absent landlord
Yay it's 2011! Happy new year to everyone
First task of the new year.... finding my ex landlord who owes me approximate $6,000! How do I find him? He doesn't live at the house I rented, he said (while I was renting the house) that he was living in Mexico as his wife is a diplomat there. All mail is re-directed, he doesn't answer emails, probably changed it anyway, and I have no phone number.
I have asked a neighbour who has a spare key, but she is keeping shut to his where abouts. I don't know his SS number.
So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know
Apart from that, I'm moving forward in a happy positive way...bring it on
