We’re back again for another edition of the Personal Growth Carnival.  This week I’ve found 3 very interesting articles that caught my attention.

You ever wonder why people do one thing over another?  It really comes down to priorities.  Family, Money, Health and more influence what you do.  Think about it.  It’s true.  But don’t take my word for it, Spike has a good article that talks more about this with What Influences Our Priorities In Life?

But maybe you’re just confused on what you want out of life.  Warren Wong has some good thoughts (and some big ambitions) on this very topic with How to Find Out What you Really Want.

My third choice is a short article by Tim Kainu.  He talks about Work, Stress, and Attitude.  It’s a quick read reminding us that we choose our attitude (and our stress level). Hmm…  Very interesting idea Tim.  I never thought of it that way. Thanks.

As always I’ve chosen 3 articles that caught my eye.  There were 36 submissions this week.  I removed a few of them because they seemed off topic.  The rest are below.  If you read a good article, please talk about it in the comments so the other readers can read them too.

Enjoy. (more…)

After I wrote last time, I decided to sell my shares of IVV (a simple S&P500 Index fund). I logged into my Zecco account and was horrified at what I saw.

According to Zecco I still had $500 cash in the account.  What? Cash? Apparently I never owned my hot stock: IVV.  I contacted their customer support and here’s what they said:

Thank you for contacting Zecco Trading. Our records indicate that your buy limit order was expired and therefore, it was cancelled. Please note that when you place a buy limit order (good for the day), if it is not filled or cancelled during the market hours, it will be expired when the market is closed
Hope this has been helpful. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again.
Thank you for your interest in Zecco Trading.
Sincerely,
An T.

So what’s the lesson: “Don’t place your order 5 minutes before the market closes I suppose”.
