As Flighty As A Butterfly... Or in my case, "Moth".

Yes, if you're a reader of my itinerant ramblings then you must be insane or just very, very bored.

My stock market investments are doing fine. Thank you for asking. No updates lately because nothing has happened. Everything is just about frozen at 30% up from bottom with frequent dips into the 10% and break even range. I'm waiting for the value of my stock picks to at the very least double before selling, and I expect that to happen in the next six months.

If you're laughing at me, fine. I can live with that. The title of this blog is RoyPoi's Neuronics and Insanity. Rationality is often left behind at the door. But seriously, buy some of the lower valued stocks and then forget you own them until they recover their value.

Now, some of my stocks are down, and yes - I came close to losing money when I tried to swing trade on the short term, and I never did try day trading. But my longer term bets recovered whatever value I lost from fees trying to play short term swings. I am much better at semi-long term stock analysis apparently as I'm certainly a poor judge of day to day changes. But the overall trend of my portfolio has been to hold steady on the upside with periodic dips as the market reacts badly to all the manufactured bad news.

The Hot Dog project is still on, but it has been delayed until other projects have matured, and if those other projects mature well, the Hot Dog project may just be filed away as a pipe day dream.

The current project and goal is to develop a web based company for web design, consulting, and development of an online presence for American Samoa. My overall goal is to become American Samoa's WebMaster. The go-to guy for all things internet for the South Pacific. Other people have tried, and the barriers for entry were so low before now that it was pointless for me to even bother competing. But now I have a unique skill and product that is difficult for anyone else to replicate. Oh, it isn't new. It existed before, but I really didn't think about it until recently as being a marketable skill.

Yes, this blog is based on the Drupal code base. My business process will be based on Drupal.

I plan on becoming a Drupal master over the next year, and this will involve my getting involved deeply in coding and studying. This is going to be fun. I'm going to kick ass. (I hope.) I think Drupal is a paradigm changing, game changing development for the web and the internet as a whole. The deployment of CMS's by businesses over the next five years is going to exceed those cheesy static web sites that people find difficult to keep up to date with new content.

Yes, American Samoa is going to come to the 21st century, and I'm hoping that with my help it will get there far in advance of the rest of the region, and if I can manage that, then I can push my own products and services at prices nobody else can beat.

Here's to hoping.
