Daily Market Analysis- 20150714

Yesterday Market Overview



Here are some note on what happened on monday from Briefing.com website 

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market began the trading week on an upbeat note with the S&P 500 (+1.1%) registering the bulk of its 23-point gain shortly after the opening bell. The benchmark index padded that advance during the final hour, settling just below its 50-day moving average (2,100). 
Equity indices spiked at the start after lengthy weekend negotiations between Greek representatives and eurozone officials produced a framework for the third rescue package for Greece. The agreement, which includes EUR25 billion in bank recapitalization funds, was cheered by global equity markets, but it is worth noting that the full bailout will be discussed once the country's government passes a series of reforms on Wednesday. The far-reaching concessions will require Greece to streamline value-added taxes, broaden its tax base to increase revenue, curtail pension costs, and privatize public assets worth as much as 50 billion euros. 
Global risk assets surged in reaction to the developments while outflows from the Treasury market weighed on the 10-yr note, sending its yield higher by three basis points to 2.43% after testing the 2.47% level in the early morning. 
Interestingly, the euro only saw a brief spike that was followed by heavy selling with the single currency sliding 1.4% against the dollar to 1.1000. As a result, the Dollar Index (96.82, +0.80) climbed 0.8%, erasing last week's decline. 
All ten sectors ended in the green with five groups adding 1.0% or more. Heavily-weighted sectors fueled today's advance with the technology sector (+1.6%) holding the lead throughout the session. Large-cap sector components like Apple (AAPL 125.66, +2.38), Facebook (FB 90.10, +2.15), Google (GOOGL 571.73, +15.62), and Microsoft (MSFT 45.53, +0.92) spiked between 1.9% and 2.8% while Seagate (STX 46.28, +0.33) advanced 0.7% despite lowering its Q4 revenue and gross margin guidance. As for chipmakers, the high-beta group struggled to keep pace with the sector, but the PHLX Semiconductor Index still added 0.8%. 
Elsewhere among influential groups, the consumer discretionary sector (+1.5%) finished right behind technology while financials (+1.1%) and industrials (+1.0%) ended near the broader market. Also of note, the health care sector (+0.8%) finished behind the broader market, which masked relative strength in biotechnology, evidenced by a 1.6% gain in iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB 378.89, +6.09). 
Similar to health care, telecom services (+0.6%) and utilities (unch) underperformed while the consumer staples sector (+1.0%) settled just behind the S&P 500. Thanks to today's gain, the staples sector is now up 4.2% for the month, trading well ahead of the remaining nine groups. 
Today's participation was comparable to recent totals as more than 730 million shares changed hands at the NYSE floor.  
Today's Economic data was limited to the Treasury Budget statement for June, which showed a surplus of $51.80 billion while the Briefing.com consensus expected a surplus of $51.00 billion. The Treasury data are not seasonally adjusted, so the June surplus cannot be compared to the $82.40 billion deficit recorded in May.

Friendship

Sometimes we have a friend who like to treat, not because they have abundance of cash, it's just they put friendship over money.

Sometimes we have a friend who love to work, it's not because they are pretending they are diligent, but they understand about responsibilities.

Sometimes a friend ask for apologize before us after a fight, not because they are wrong but it;s because they respect people surround them.

Sometimes we have friends who are willing to help us, not because they owe us anything but because they see as as a friend.

Sometimes a friend who always send you an electronic message or Whatsapp is not because they have nothing to do but because they remember you.

One day all of us will be apart. we will memorize those talks & dreams which were in our times.. days by days, months, years till the relationship become a stranger.

One day our kids and grand kids will see our photographs and ask? " who are all of these people?"
and we will smile with invisible teardrops  and will say 
" I have my most beautiful days with them"

How Do I stop Smoking

I've been a smoker for more than 10 years. long short story I've been trying to quit smoking due to health consideration, i tried hundreds of time in order to quite but failed .. in various durations, some effort last for 1 days, some other effort could last for 3 months, but it keeps me back to the addiction again.

Is it really Nicotine addiction that causes it difficult to quit?I've heard so many people taking substitute product like nicotine gums, as they think that they are addicted to Nicotine, so that they need to maintain the availability of those nicotine in their blood.

My observation to this provide my own conclusion. it's not nicotine which is entering your blood which is causing the temptation ,in which when you are free from cigarette, your blood is so tempting to grab some nicotine. I'd rather think it's the habit that has become automatic, that has become a routines. you'd feel your morning mood is bad when you have no cigarette being sucked, or your lunch would taste plain withouth a puff. this kind of stuff.


So how did I quit?

1. Reason

You need to find out a real reason to quite, a major reason, it could be because of your health, family, or any other special reason

2. Create a new habit

As I understand the temptation as habit rather than addiction  so you must create a new habit those include .. avoiding those places or materials or even social friend that could make you return to smoking habit. for example if you tend to eat breakfast in a cafe where you used to smoke, you can now have breakfast at office kitchen.

3. Keep it UP

When you are able to make new habit the next step is to make a consistent move, those include challenging your own self on those progression that you have made. Keeping it up also means that you need to encourage and remind yourself of the objective of you creating those new habit. those also includes effort o fool your mind, meaning to say, when you have a huge temptation to smoke, you should be able to negotiate with your mind so that you will not fall into 1 puff that will lead you to old habit. this effort also include self hypnosis, visualization or meditation

These are really the effort that i have taken in order to quit. and it's been 3rd year for me now enjoying better health as non smoker.
