High Risk / High Return Investment Opportunity in Batumi Real Estate
After spending a weekend in Batumi I decided to take a closer look at the booming, but somehow stagnating Batumi real estate market. At the start, I couldn't believe that there are real estate offers starting $750 per square meter. Now I have a feeling if I would look more carefully, and bargain a bit I could get something even for $500 in the new development projects.

Batumi Central Park / 6th May park
Batumi Central park is really cool and relaxing attraction with a huge lake in the middle located in front of the Hilton Hotel. It's said that the park/garden is more than 130 years old and was constructed together with Batumi boulevard back in 1881. Despite I've visited Batumi zillions of times, I even have lived there some 10 years ago, this was the first time me visiting this park. Indeed very nice, with a little nice mini-zoo inside 6 May…
Best Western Premier Batumi Hotel
Best Western Premier Batumi hotel is one of our best finds in Batumi, the price corresponds to the service. Budget-friendly 4-star hotel with a swimming pool.

I think we saved at least 500-600 GEL. Quite nice. If you prefer online booking, here is…

We went to the newly opened Domino DIY shopping mall in…
Bitcoin, Gym, SP 500 and Tbilisi
Another interesting week has started here in Tbilisi. At the night I woke up I placed a long position on Bitcoin futures at $40,017, later in the morning before going to the gym I noticed Bitcoin in but under $40,000. Once I was at the gym Bitcoin tumbled another 1000 points, and I had a chance to think a lot about liquidity issues. Post-processed a few photographs and made a short movie about our Easter adventures. I know Bitcoin correlates…

How to profit from Earnings Trades (Buying Straddles)
Earnings trades are advanced options trading strategies offering massive income potential vs limited risk. Constructing an earnings trade will ask to buy straddle or strangle options. I remember times when I was still learning a lot about options I was wondering what are all those iron condors, butterflies, straddles, and strangles.

5-min chart Bitcoin Trading Strategy with Parabolic SAR, RSI and Heikin Ashi candles
For the past two months, I've been experimenting with trading Bitcoin and Ethereum futures on the Deribit platform. So far I can report mixed success. For most of the time, I was trading a 1-min chart, as it seemed to offer more trades, more excitement, yes it worked quite well, even profitable, but in the end, I always ended up blowing up my account, because of some open overnight trade e.t.c.
