Chucknorris Neutral Newbie July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 Yes, invest in casinos may die because of escalating costs, but play in casino die even faster I rather be a banker than player anytime. Its sad, but if we dun make money work for us, the rate of interests from saving can nvr beat the rate of inflation, then die liao. I know I'll nvr reach my financial tgt w/o investing, because my pay promotion and bonus is only that limited, and I'm nvr heng enuff to win toto. But I'm no Jim rogers or warren buffet either, so gotta do some homework, do small bits investments, diversify, and more importantly, monitor portfolio closely and know the biz of the companies i buy into. anyone wants to share his/her investing principles?

"Albert Einstein was in heaven. He met some of the residents there and hence chat up with some of them. He asked one of them what his IQ was & he mentioned 165. Well, Albert says lets discuss about the principle of relativity. After which he met up with another, Albert asked about his IQ too. He say 85 and hence Albert says lets talk about the stock market." Hope you all like the joke! I like to share a few little pointers with fellow MCF colleagues: 1. You must know there are hidden hands in the market who are professionally trained to drain your resources. If you think you have 10 millions to play with, they probably have a 100 million or much more 2. Some are known as hedge funds, some are known as stockists and some are known as 'Big Boys' and some are just syndications 3. How sure you are don't put all of your money in at one go 4. How sure you are don't take out all of your money off the table at one go 5. Remember that stuckists commonly called themselves long term investors Happy investing!

Throttle2 Supersonic July 5, 2008 Share July 5, 2008 Long term investor = GIC = "stockist" ? heh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedspeed Neutral Newbie July 5, 2008 Share July 5, 2008 Dear Throttle2, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. & Temasek Holding are definitely not stuckists. It is their strategy to go long from the word "Go!". With their fire power, it would be plain stupidity for them to trade. And, trading like certain funds may sometimes be deemed unethical to a national owned entity like GIC. Maybe I should clarify my stand on the word "stuckist". They are actually traders with the intention to earn quick buck but gotten caught in the process and left with no choice but to stay put - at least for the time being. This group of retail investors, termed traders (they are not professional traders) turned investors are very different from true blue investors who invest in super blue chips but may or may not do money averaging at certain support levels. But, would likely be smart enough to tack up their stakes when the market's turning around (you would be grossly surprised to find that actually many retail investors who waited for years for the market to turn around actually bail themselves out early upon seeing a little profit). I must also clarify my stance that I am not against long term investments. Retail investor primarily 'play' the market on temperament which is actually very dangerous. They listen to market noises & react accordingly. Hence, long term investment must start as a strategy & not as a no-choice alternative or one would be playing a loser's game & into the hidden hands of the market. Happy investing!

Throttle2 Supersonic July 5, 2008 Share July 5, 2008 thanks for info.... So I'm like GIC in other words. My horizon is 20 yrs just continuously adding more along the way. sometimes taking a bit of profit as i deem fit here and there. keeping my fingers crossed all the time.

Limitedspeed Neutral Newbie July 5, 2008 Share July 5, 2008 Well, assuming that you are as good as Ho Ching (can't say you are better okay, haha), then your per annum ROI should not be less than 18% You are probably five folds above ordinary citizens who have their money in time deposits Happy investing!
