Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

My Christmas wish list for December 2008

December 24, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 1 Comment

I had only one item on my Christmas wish list last December 2007 and you can read it at my post entitled “One of the gifts I hope I will get for Christmas” That item in my Christmas wish list last year came true. So I am posting a Christmas wish list for this year again, I hope it will become true hehehehehe For this year, I also have one item on my Christmas wish list. Perhaps my Christmas wish list might also give you an idea on what to give this Christmas to your loved one. The only item on my Christmas wish list this year is an ebook reader. People who know me quite well will not be surprised why this is the only item on my Christmas wish list. I am such a voracious reader. I could finish off 2 to 3 books a month aside from my regular daily reading in my work. An ebook reader would help me save on books since it is a lot cheaper to purchase then printed books for obvious reasons. Some say it is also environmentally friendly; others might however disagree with this … [Read more...]

Nostradamus 2009 socio-economic-political prediction

December 23, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 7 Comments

A brilliant stock market analyst and economist found a Nostradamus 2009 prediction hidden in the top of Nostradamus pajamas. He claims he had a hard time translating the Nostradamus 2009 prediction from medieval French. The Nostradamus 2009 prediction was amazingly accurate. I was surprised how Nostradamus was very good in rhyming the words of the Nostradamus 2009 prediction. The Nostradamus 2009 prediction includes the catastrophes that hit us in 2008 and furthers gives us a glimpse of what 2010 holds. Here is the Nostradamus 2009 prediction: “For the year two thousand eight, it will be too bad to contemplate. It will start with a deep recession that will become a great depression. A million people will lose their dwelling and unemployment will be swelling. House prices will keep declining but there will be no silver lining. And President Bush whose sheer inertia gets him booted out of Persia. A bearded one named Ben Bernanke will regulate the hanky panky. He will … [Read more...]

Follow Warren Buffett’s signal on when to buy stocks – Part 1

December 17, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz Leave a Comment

Warren Buffett is undoubtedly the world’s best investor. Aside from his excellent ability to analyze a company’s fundamentals, he is also very good in knowing when to buy stocks and when to sell it. While knowing when to sell is quite tricky, knowing when to buy stocks the Warren Buffett way is easy. The ideal on when to buy stocks is to “Buy low and sell high.” Ironically most people only pay lip service to this fundamental principle on when to buy stocks because what most are doing is exactly the opposite. For example in 2007 people were asking the “experts” when to buy stocks. The “experts” said “now” in order not to be left behind. The Philippine stock index (PSEi) was at 3800 points (from a mere 1000+ points) The “experts” at that time were saying that it will reach 4400 points. At 3000 points, people want a slice of the action so they jumped into the band wagon and bought when stocks were at its all time high. The PSEi eventually reached 3800 points but never went … [Read more...]

Applying value investing in the Philippine stock market

December 14, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 15 Comments

Ever since I started reading Warren Buffett books more than 3 months ago, I had been hooked on value investing. I bought all the value investing books I could get my hands on. Perhpas I should consider taking some diet pill to stave of my hunger for value investing books. hehehehe :-) I wrote about my value investing book purchases in the post entitled “How Warren Buffett made me poor” and “I’ve got the latest Warren Buffett book!” Recently, I read some Benjamin Graham books. Benjamin Graham is Warren Buffett’s mentor and is considered the “Father” of value investing. “Value investing” according to Wikipedia “involves buying securities whose shares appear underpriced by some form of fundamental analysis” Graham refers to value investing as buying an item worth $1.00 for half the price. The definition of “Value investing” has evolved throughout the years and has been refined by Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett is said to have a consistent above 20 % return per annum for more than 50 … [Read more...]

December 5, 2008 by Zigfred Diaz 1 Comment

Finally, the fight we all have been waiting for and dreaming about is coming on Saturday, November 6, 2008 (Sunday in the Philippines) when Manny“Pacman” Pacquiao trades fists with Oscar “Golden Boy” De la Hoya ! The delayed telecast will be broadcasted in the Philippine local channel, GMA 7. However I am sure that people will be all over the internet looking for the Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao vs. Oscar “Golden Boy” De la Hoya youtube video and live streaming So will experience and size overcome speed and sheer force? Oscar “Golden Boy” Dela Hoya will try to prove to the world that the former will prove to be an asset than the latter while Manny“Pacman” Pacquiao will try to prove otherwise. For some it is a mismatch. Others say that Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao should wake up from his dream of beating Oscar “Golden Boy” De la Hoya. Their advice to Jinky (Manny’s wife) is found in Kenny Roger’s song “Don’t fall in love with a dreamer. On the other hand Freddy Roach is telling the … [Read more...]
