Thought it wise to let you know that I’ve managed to find a few spare minutes to put together my new Beer page. It’s very much in draft format and needs loads of work to get it into shape but it has started me to think about the many beers I drink. So whilst I’m getting it into shape take a look at just a small selection of my favourite beers. More will be added soon.
OK so I’m really into being creative and I therefore create lots of pieces of art, in fact thousands of them. The vast majority of these I offer to the world over the internet free of charge. Anyone can download an image I’ve created and use it for any non commercial use. That’s great and it works for me, works for the end user and works for the hosting site WEBSHOTS. If you click it should open a new window to my WEBSHOTS albums. I’ve had some of these up for a few years now and my account Id is Pete1111. Feel free to browse and download what you want, they make nice background images for your desktop, which was the original intent when I first started creating.
So free is cool…
But I also like the idea of selling my art in a variety of mediums such as cards, prints, posters, mouse mats, mugs, t-shirts… the list goes on. At first this seems like a daunting task until you quickly do a search on Google and find there are many company’s out there offering artists the ability to upload their work and sell it without having to break a sweat on any of the messy bits such as web site design, hosting fees, manufacturing processes, credit card facilities etc… in fact you only have to concentrate on making the art the bit I like.
So I’m selling stuff on Fotolia a great place to pick up Royalty free stock images.
the little animated logo should take you straight there, alternatively click here to go straight to the stuff I create for Fotolia.
I knew my investment in Greene King would be well worth my while. Apart from drinking their beers I now see my shares on the move in the right direction, still plenty to go but they are on their way.
In the mean time to keep me happy they have just announced a dividend payout of £0.15 per share so another nice little earner in my journey into beating the system, playing the stock market, doing it myself rather than pay others to under-perform – what ever… it’s always fun as a mate of mine tells me.
onto other share news as today has been a busy time for me…
Decided to sell my Tesco shares today. My buy price was £3.45 and I’ve punted them back onto the market at £3.93 so a good growth and all this achieved in 135 days. didnt make the 15% profit I was after when taking all costs into account, more like 10% but the growth is still strong and pays much more than any bank can offer me. A key reason for shifting this stock was the desire to buy into another company. I could have sold some of my others but thought Tesco would be the best option. So Tesco it was.
The stock I purchased to replace my Tesco shares was in a company called Tenon (TNO). Watch this space for news on this company as I monitor my investments.
