2 Start writing book again, due to sheer boredom.

3 Got my OptionsXpress account. Read up on financing before looking at possible investments. New possible area of investment: relatively important future product with scant information on the web. So far, read up on business structures; political, business, and consumer viewpoints; patent laws.  Lost quite a bit of faith in patent laws due to business practice and trivial ideas patentable. Patent process needs procedural revamping. Now how do you start a business? Keep business idea inside head and practice as a vendor on transaction site such as eBay if possible.

General lessons learned:
~Stock prices will not rise forever, no matter how hot a stock is.
~Analysts often sway the public.
~Slope stuff; calculus is actually somewhat useful here.
~One market can influence another; one company's performance can influence another's value; certain types of seemingly unrelated news can have adverse effects on specific sectors.
~Reliable news in lesser known places can sometimes give earlier forecasts to stock prices.
~Know the sector before jumping in.

What do I need to do over here?

12/22: Investing in a stock. Hoping to get in at $7.50, so I can get 453 shares. The board members have a lot of past experience even though they are the smaller company. Still hasn't gone through due to Christmas break... Why does everything stop during Christmas?

Update: Bought stocks at $7.375. At $7.41, I break even. Stock tumbled: sell or long-term wait? Hopefully sell at $11 to reach $5000 goal. Jia yo CEO Mel!
Update: Very important lesson. Remember it for the rest of your days!

4 Is it possible to use a pointer to link these comments to the Task or Task Type in order to give the appearance of simplicity and elegance? In terms of Database, Priority is a foreign key for About and listing the numbers for About seems redundant. Possibly a unique key for the tuples listed?

Implemented the bookmark function to link to tasks more quickly.

Note: Some tasks are continual or procedural and completion cannot be asserted with a number-based system or check.
