But by then you may have already invested much time (sometimes not of you own choice) that you have to or want to make it a win win.

Prices have come down because a much smaller competitor outside the big 3 has thrown down the gauntlet.<br /><br />Imagine what will happen if a new meaner and hungrier competitor can come into the smart phone market and offer 10G free data mobile plans?<br /><br />Competition and liberalisation have brought down the transaction costs for buying and selling equities.

Things that are seemingly free will cost you a lot when you include your time. <br /><br />Recently, I had to return a tv set back to the telco station. It was given to me free of charge for 2 yrs. In fact, before this two years, I also had a free tv set. I used it maybe less than 5 times in 2 yrs. Then I returned it. After waiting for 1 hour+ just to return it, I swore it off. Then, after being offered FREE again, plus FREE DELIVERY to my home, I took the bait again. This time, I used it for 0 times in 2 yrs.<br /><br />I just recently returned it and swore it off again. I hope I don't make the same mistake again. Waste of my time! These days even when it's FREE, i'll be inclined to refuse it...there's always a cost somewhere, even if it's just my time.<br /><br />Esp when it's just my time.la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.com
