Last year, I recall blogging about mentally preparing for the markets. That's no exaggeration – the Markets are a test! It literally is played out like this:. Bobby: I'll give 1,000 Kwacha. Crowd: BOO! Seller: 2,000 Kwacha. Paul did really well today. He found his price, stayed committed, and came out with some awesome deals! PS: GO CANADA GO! Links to this post.

A Canadian Credit Union Manager’s Experience Working with SACCOs in Malawi (2009 and 2010). Tuesday, March 9, 2010. There is no snow and it was 13C yesterday afternoon. Awesome!
