Portfolio of PAF on 7MAY2015

VZ     2,000


T      23,300

MRK      100

GSK 100

_______________

         25,500

total share-wealth-units last reported which was 4MAR2015 was 25,370 
and total share-wealth-units today 25,500


real-estate land 3APR03 of 3 lots $19,000.
real-estate land 30JUL03 another lot $11,500.
real-estate land Sept05 another lot $75,000.

Alright, with excess cash today I bought 100 shares of Glaxo, GSK, the huge British pharma at 44.17 per share. And then bought another 30 shares of ATT, at 33.40 per share.

Some rumors that Pfizer was interested in buying GSK. But I do not buy on rumor, I buy on value. GSK represents much of the biology research of the British nation, and the British have been excellent in biology.

So I now hold two big pharma, MRK and GSK. I like the new era of drug research where they are finally going after "real health -- cancer, malaria, HIV, Ebola" instead of the past of "cosmetic drugs-- cholesterol, viagra". Hopefully they will get into human cloning in my lifetime. Recently, the British allowed for a intervention of the human dna, which the USA dismissed.

Also, I wanted to say in the original post that the British election weighed in on me deciding to buy shares of GSK, Glaxo. In the fact that the British probably spent only millions of dollars in a election and spent only a few months in doing the election campaign, whereas here in the USA, we spend 2 years in a campaign and billions of dollars thrown out the window, and a seige on voters. In other words, Britain does elections in a civilized manner whereas in the USA we are primitive, time wasting and money wasting.

I bet the U.K. by their streamlined, efficient elections saves them so much money that they could afford to build 2 huge Geothermal Electric Power Plants on the savings in their election system. Whereas in the USA, every election we have in this country throws away the resources that could build 2 or 3 huge Geothermal Electric Power Plants, all because of the 2 year process and no limit on money thrown at windbag politicians. If the UK can figure out a "good leader" in 2 months with a million dollars, it is crazy that the USA spends 2 years and billions to figure out the next leader.

So, Congress, enact a law that says "be like Britain and have the campaign over and done with in 2 months, and have a cap on money spending that Britain" The USA is likely to be the world's largest waster of money and time in elections.

Also, I want to thank the British Royalty for wanting to save elephants and rhinos and wildlife around the world. I am one who firmly believes that upon the death of any human going to be Judged in Heaven or Hell, that the prime question for judgement is -- "how did you treat animals while alive?" If you treated animals poorly, you end up in Hell, and end up back on Earth or another planet to live a reincarnated life where someone does the pain and suffering to you as you did to animals. That is a firm belief of mine.

So I wish the British Royalty continue and increase their advocacy of animals and wildlife, because to me, they are going to heaven.

Now, the above ideas were adopted by me about early 1990s, when I was fresh off the discovery of the Atom Totality with its reincarnation. And my past has not been anything remotely sterling towards animals before 1990s. In my prayers, every night, a key line is "please forgive me of my sins, especially the killing of animals". And so my behaviour and attitude towards animals has changed, and I suspect that I can redeem myself by helping animals in distress. For example, every year I catch millipedes and ladybug beetles and spiders in my house which I catch in a bottle and then release outside the next day or when convenient. So the saving of animals is a positive that goes towards the negatives I committed on animals in my life. Now, I do not go overboard on this, such as some Asian monks who watch their step and walk so as to not kill ants. That is paranoid overboard to me. Nor do I save mosquitos or flies trapped in the house but swat. So there is a happy balance and a aversion to causing stress or death to animals.

Now I even try to apply that to plants, although I cannot say I have found satisfaction of saving plants as saving animals. Especially weeds, but what I have done is make the lives of plants under my care have a great life, by watering, fertilizing and pruning for more sunlight.

What is money? See econ101.
Is the loss of unutilised resources [to eg. build Power Plants]
compensated by the software/education to the public that 'you can't
mortgage your house to buy beer'?

If your ancestors lived in equilibrium [like the pre-colonial sub-
saharan africans and wild animals]: with population blanced by the
number of hours a year available to produce sustenance, and current 1st
world productivety, able to similarly sustain with merely 1 hr/week
labour, how can you justify economic thinking of pre-industrial days.

Yes, that's starting to see the BIG picture.

The money spent on elections doesn't disappear, it just changes hands. Generally from the wealthy to the working class.
