I found fresh bear tracks on the beach
2020年10月29日 友達Water was all around, so I only had a 16-ounce plastic pop bottle (1 ounce) and a few iodine tablets for purification. I took a good drink before I packed up.
I found fresh bear tracks on the beach. The bear had walked within 60 yards of where I slept. I had a freon horn (2 ounces) that I’d bought after reading that people have used it’s high-decible shriek to scare off bears. I pulled it out. I followed the tracks for an hour, but only because I was going in that direction.
I had two old cabins to explore, another patch of berries I knew about, and a beach full things to check out. The strangest item that regularly washes up is light bulbs. I take them home to use them. After years of finding these, a sailor finally told me that they throw them off the ships to shoot at them in the water. I was finding the ones they missed.
The next day I headed back. The rain I expected never came, so I didn’t get to test my garbage bag rainsuit (2 ounces), but I had used a similar one with success before. Overall, I was happy with my ultralight backpacking "test." Of course, you can get by with fragile clothing and gear when you’re hiking an open beach. Oh, and I never did see the bear.
The UK is a world leader in financial services and one of the newest growth segments
in that market is Spread Betting which, from small beginnings in the 1980s, is
now growing at a blistering pace.
Some operators of spread betting platforms are no so
large that they are now listed on the London Stockmarket.
Circumstances vary from country to country but the
rationale behind this form of trading is the opportunity to leverage up a small
amount of money to control a disproportionately large quantity of shares or
other financial instruments in a very tax efficient manner.( In the UK, bets
are free of both stamp duty and Capital Gains Tax). It also affords the
opportunity to make money from something that is falling in price. On the
downside, the leverage element ensures that any losses are also
disproportionately large compared with the sum of money laid out.
Although technically classed as gambling, financial
spread betting is not regulated in the UK by the Gambling Commission but by the
Financial Services Authority who are probably more inclined to regard it as
speculation.
Spread betting can be used to back ones hunches in
all sorts of financial instruments such as shares, commodities and currencies.
Many investors use it to hedge fully paid up investments in these markets.
In its simplest form, a spread bet is a wager that an
instrument is going to go up or down in price by a sufficient margin to cover
the spread or difference between the buying and selling price. This margin is
the profit accruing to the operator of the spread betting platform which has
been selected. The company concerned is effectively acting like a bookmaker and
undertaking to honor your bet if it comes good.
To illustrate how a spread bet might work in practice,
lets assume our bettor expects Vodafone shares to rise from their current
price of 170p to sell and 171p to buy. If he was to buy, say, 1,000 shares in
the stockmarket, this would cost £17,100 plus stamp duty and brokers
commission, lets say a total of £17,200.
Instead, our spread bettor elects to control the
same amount of shares using a spread bet. If his chosen spread betting firm is
quoting 170p to sell and 171p to buy, he opens a Buy bet at 171p for £100 per
point. If the shareprice subsequently moves to 180 p to sell, anyone who had
physically bought 1,000 shares at 172p including costs, would have made £800
profit on a £17,200 outlay or 4.6 %.
Meanwhile, our intrepid spread bettor has cleared
£900. The spread betting firm he used would have asked for a deposit or
margin of the underlying value to cover any losses and, lets assume on a
very marketable share like Vodafone, this margin requirement was 10 % or £
1,710. He has therefore cleared a very healthy 53% return on his actual outlay
without incurring any tax liability. This clearly demonstrates the benefits of
leverage or gearing when things go well.
The other side of the coin is that, if the shareprice
had fallen by 10% instead, the spread bettor would either have to choose to
accept a loss of £1,710 or deposit another 10% margin in anticipation of a
price recovery.Reducer accessories--https://www.jiahuangtech.com/product/accessories/
