Gladys Edmunds: Dealing with distractions

Hi, Gladys, I am at the end of my rope. Last year I started a home-based business and every possible obstacle keeps getting in my way. I can't seem to concentrate on my business. I don't have small children at home and I am a widow, so there is no one living here to bother me. The problem is the outside interferences. I have had to cancel three appointments with possible new clients because of an emergency that my best friend had. On another occasion my car wouldn't start. I was all set to work the other day only to discover that the furnace was not working so I spent my day dealing with that. The furnace man ended up calling the gas company to check things out and the gas company found a leak and red tagged my furnace. I had to have my front yard dug up and a new gas line put in. Needless to say my nerves are shattered. How do I handle all of life's issues and concentrate on my business at the same time? Thanks, C.L.

There are some things in life that we just can't explain; your car and furnace would fall under that category. The other things – your car and helping with a friend's emergency -- are another matter.

Why did you allow your car to stress you out? There are alternative ways to reach destinations other than driving your car. As for the emergency that your friend had, only you can say how important or necessary your help was in that case. Self-inquisition can help you to get to know yourself better and will reveal why you are letting things come between you and your business.

The philosopher Socrates was famous for his "know thyself" approach to life. He spent his life talking to himself, asking questions, and seeking better and more truthful answers. He and the Socratic philosophers who came after him believed that the meaning of life involved the ability of man to know himself.

What I have found to be helpful in getting to know yourself better is to write about the things that are bothering you and ask yourself why you are doing what you do. In other w! ords it's like interviewing yourself. Writing the things that are blocking your progress gives you something to review and note the progress that you've made in overcoming them. Write the question: Why did I allow my friend's problem to stop me from doing my work? And then begin to answer yourself in writing. Don't accept the first answer that comes up. Continue to ask yourself the "Why," throughout and keep writing until you feel a breakthrough.

Putting our fears and problems on paper helps us to face them better and find solutions. As long as they are tucked away inside it is easy to bury them or hide from them.

Top Paper Stocks To Own For 2015

So bring these issues out into the open by writing them down. And you will find that when you face situations in this way you stand a good chance of removing problems and solving situations much easier.

    We're in the same shoes as the consumer, the cost of ! fuel is less for us.

    "We're in the same shoes as the consumer, the cost of fuel is less for us," says Kevin Beyer, who owns Performance Fuels, a filling station and convenience store in Smithtown, New York. That means profits for Beyer and the nation's 127,000 filling stations are rising. Before they sell gas to you, station owners buy gas on the wholesale market. When the wholesale price of gasoline falls quickly the difference between the cost of wholesale gasoline (including taxes) and the price at the pump gets wider, boosting profits for stations. The steeper the drop, the better. "It's completely antithetical to what people believe," says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. That difference has stretched to 21.7 cents a gallon this year, the highest ever, according to an OPIS analysis of 16,000 U.S. stations. That compares to an average of 17.1 cents over the last five years. On a percentage basis, station profitability is at its highest since 2005. And profits on diesel sales are even higher. "They are off the charts," Kloza says. Yes, that means you could be paying even less for gasoline than you are. But before you cry foul, you should know that after all the ups and downs in a year, gas stations do not make much money from selling gasoline. After credit card fees and other operating costs, net profit for gasoline sales averages 3 cents a gallon, according the National Association of Convenience Stores. Scraping By When gas prices soar, and drivers think they're being gouged, stations are barely scraping by or even losing money. When the wholesale price is soaring, like it did in 2008, 2011 and 2012, station owners can't increase the price at the pump as fast as their costs are going up or they risk losing customers to competitors. When the wholesale price is going down, like now, there isn't the same pressure to lower the price. Drivers are so happy to se

    That's not to say that Apple should mimic, say, Lenovo (NASDAQOTH: LNVGY  ) by putting a 3200-by-1800 display on the next generation MacBook Air, particularly as the veryhigh resolution may have diminishing returns in image quality and could negatively affect battery life. However, a 1920-by-1080 panel on the device (rumored to feature a 12-inch display) -- up from 1440-by-900 in the current 13-inch Ma! cBook Air -- with best-in-class brightness and color accuracy would do wonders.

    Alamy Late last month, Chinese hardware giant Lenovo (LNVGY) was the subject of many headlines -- not all of them complimentary -- when it signed a high-profile deal to buy the Motorola Mobility smartphone unit from Google (GOOG). The Asian firm is ponying up a cool $2.9 billion to acquire the business, which is monstrously unprofitable to the tune of a $645 million operating loss in the first nine months of 2013. The market didn't appreciate this. Disturbed by the idea of gallons of red ink spilling from Motorola Mobility onto Lenovo's results, investors traded down the firm's stock by as much as 14 percent after the deal was made public. This might have been compounded by the firm's previous announcement, made only days earlier, that it was spending $2.3 billion to purchase IBM's (IBM) x86 -- read: lower-end -- line of servers. Was such a sell-off, in reaction to either or both, justified? At Home Abroad Lenovo is one of those companies that likes to expand by acquisition. Few Westerners had ever heard of the IT manufacturer in 2005 when it closed its first big buy -- the personal computing division of IBM, for total consideration of around $1.75 billion. The purchase seemed a counterintuitive move when everyone knew that a future stuffed with wireless Internet and portable computing was just around the corner. But guess what? Lenovo not only sold plenty of notebooks and desktops, it managed to grow into the top PC manufacturer in the world. According to figures from Gartner (IT), in Q4 2013 the company was the clear market leader in terms of PC vendor unit shipments. It moved nearly 15 million PCs during the quarter, a figure 6.6 percent higher than in the same period the previous year. This was particularly impressive considering that total shipments for the industry dropped by almost 7 percent over that time frame. Lenovo was able to do this because, for most of its l! ife, it's! made big strides in less affluent markets and is continuing to do so. In

    Apart from the above-mentioned business areas, HP's core competency still lies in PC markets and we are already aware of the smart devices wave that has almost swept the demand for desktops. In spite of battered demand in consumer PC market, HP increased the unit shipments by 6% y-o-y due to improved demand conditions in the commercial PC markets. As a result of a sturdy performance, HP's market share is now just slightly lower than that of Lenovo (LNVGY), the leader in the PC market. A report from Gartner showcases the shares of enterprises that occupy this market.

    It is prudent for investors to watch out for the development of Apple's share in China, especially after Google announced the sale of Motorola's mobility division to Lenovo (NASDAQOTH: LNVGY  ) . This deal can prove to be a major threat to Apple in the Chinese markets, as Lenovo has a better position there . Thus, the onus will be on Apple to maintain its innovation streak and develop a robust way to capture the Asian markets amid competition from low-priced devices from Lenovo and Samsung.

Hot Supermarket Stocks To Invest In 2015

Hot Supermarket Stocks To Invest In 2015: Paragon Shipping Inc.(PRGN)

Paragon Shipping Inc. provides shipping transportation services worldwide. The company engages in the ocean transportation of various drybulk cargoes and containers. Its fleet consists of 11 drybulk vessels with a total carrying capacity of 747,994 dwt. The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Voula, Greece.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Lisa Levin]

    This industry fell 1.80% by 11:00 am ET. Paragon Shipping (NASDAQ: PRGN) shares dropped 3.9% in today's trading. Paragon Shipping's trailing-twelve-month ROE is -21.70%.

  • [By Roberto Pedone]

    Another under-$10 name shipping player that's starting to move within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Paragon Shipping (PRGN), which is engaged in transporting drybulk cargoes, including such commodities as iron ore, coal, grain and other materials along shipping routes worldwide. This stock has been on fire so far in 2013, with shares up sharply by 114%.

    If you take a look at the chart for Paragon Shipping, you'll notice that this stock just recently took out its 50-day moving average of $4.19 a share with strong upside volume. Shares of PRGN are showing relative strength today, despite the overall market weakness, which shows this stock is in strong demand at current levels. This move is now starting to push shares of PRGN within range of triggering a big breakout trade

    Market players should now look for long-biased trades in PRGN if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $4.90 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 25,811 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then PRGN will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 52-week high at $5.70 a share. If that level gets taken out w! ith volume, then PRGN could easily tag its next major overhead resistance levels at $7 to $8.35 a share.

    Traders can look to buy PRGN off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below its 50-day moving average of $4.19 a share, or below its 200-day moving average at $3.74 a share. One can also buy PRGN off strength once it clears $4.90 a share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point. I would add to either position once PRGN takes out its 52-week high at $5.70 a share with strong upside volume flows.
