Homo Sapiens Sapiens

For quite some time I have had the thoughts that there are today in the world two different human beings. One are the highly evolved Homo Sapiens, which many of us belong to me included, and the second I like to call Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Homo Sapiens Sapiens are just like it sounds the next step in the human evolution. What is then the difference between them and me?

Personally I spend a very short time actively thinking about something. Either I find a solution to the problem I have directly or I do not come up with a solution to the problem directly but then I on the other hand also stop actively thinking about the problem. What goes on in the corners of my mind I can not give an answer to but I am very certain that my brain keeps thinking about the problem.

Dividend from IBM: September 2014

I did not step in as shareholder in IBM that long ago but still I was entitled to receive dividends. IBM like most US companies pay dividends each quarter.

For my 16 lonely IBM shares I received 1.1 USD per share so 17.60 USD in total. The conversion rate was 1.2981 which gave me 13.56 €. From this I paid 15% taxes in a quantity of 2.03 € and I end up with 11.53 € cash on my broker account. Nice!
