How I earned $9,216 with a mug? (Or $32,000?)

Reader:
I used to buy a Mocha Frap every day at work. About a year ago, after reading your blog, I challenged myself to stop. 

For each day I didn't buy a Mocha Frap, I put aside $10. 





I am pleased to report I have managed to put aside more than $2,000 so far. 

The secret is in your blog. 

I got myself a mug and I will earn more than $32,000 with my mug in 16 years! 





If AK can do it, I can do better!

-----------------------
I was making a cup of hot Milo in the office pantry like I sometimes do and the sight of my mug suddenly gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. 

No, it was not from the hot water or the steam.

Nice? 

Got a bit chipped over the years but still nice.

I bought this not long after I started work. 

I needed a mug to use for my tea breaks.

It must have been 15 or 16 years ago by now. 





How much money have I saved in those years by not buying coffee or tea or Milo from the coffee shop (or from Starbucks) on work days?

Conservatively, $288 x 2 x 16 years? 

$9,216? 

Not bad.





Gives a new flavour to the phrase "old is gold". 

OK, who threw something at me? 

Who? Who?

NeraTel: Added to my long position.

On 22 July 2013, I mentioned that if the 200d MA did not hold, share price could fall to 66c.

The counter closed at 68.5c yesterday.

Could 66c come to pass? Your guess is as good as mine. Remember that TA is about probability, not certainty.

So, I made a smallish addition to my long position.

If price should test 66c support, I will buy more.
