Emerging markets submerging

I received so many good wishes yesterday. Thank you so much. You made my day. I'm posting from a hospital bed and I will keep doing it because this tells me that life is turning back to normal just like walking and having a shower by myself. I'm doing something I truly enjoy and I love sharing these charts with you. For the ones who asked, no, no motorcycle anymore. There is too much at stake.

    Dad was in hospital early this year fell from tree and needed to insert plate. His room has another 3 that went for operation that has 2 of them in motorcycle accident. One of them has retired and enjoying life doing what he likes riding a big bike in countryside. Never does he realise he would crash into herds of cows. He said life is just so fragile. And it happens when one least expect. Take care and get well soon.

    I applaud your decision to ditch the motorcycle. I had a small one for a while. Every time I got on it to go for a ride or run an errand, I would think: I could die on this thing, or end up badly damaged. I was always hypervigilant while driving it, but with so many SUV's and trucks and cars out there whose drivers are on the phone or texting or just not paying attention, there's so much that's completely out of your control when on a motorcycle. I considered selling it for a year or so and finally put it on the market and sold it last Spring. I consider myself lucky that I was able to enjoy the bike, get it out of my system, and then sell it without having experienced a crash.

    I had a small city scooter to take me from A to be quickly and since 3 years I never had an incident. But one day, some idiot taxi driver didn't stop at the junction which was showing green for me. I'm thankful I didn't get injured more seriously.
    Thanks Thomas.

    Mine was a small one too. A city scooter. I thought if I do the right things and never make a silly mistake I would be fine. Boy I was wrong. There are too many reckless drivers in London. Anyway I learned my lesson and that's it. Motorcycle has to stay as a distant memory. Thanks Pima.

    These nasty things always happen in a blink of eye. Bouraq, I hope you jump around the streets again very soon.

    A London doctor once told a friend of mine that he should expect to visit the hospital once every five years if he used a scooter in London. I'm glad you've given it up - you're right that this sort of incident puts a lot of things into perspective.


    Get well soon!
