Whats the difference between acquisition price and market price ah???

If I bought bitcoin at $5k and current market price is $20k but I desperate to offload so I take @$19k is consider loss ah

Sorry my maths not Pee Haych Dee one

I teach you. 

Today I sold some shares at $1 which I bought at $0.50 5 years ago but I marked to market my shares yesterday and transferred all the profits to my reserve account. Upon sales today, I lost money (due to transaction and 5 years holding cost). Sibei cham. 

This is invented by scholars to measure lost economic profit. Nothing wrong under IFRS or simi financial engineering standards but if you keep shouting deficit and big losses, you leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

They make or don make $$ is not the main thing for me..

looking at the current price and income level.. I dunno what is define as "Affordable housing for the people"..

Sadly the price need to push higher and higher if not majority of owner need to cough money back to OA when selling their flats..

accountants are very creative... you want profits i write profit... you want loss i write loss.

but... the money in the bank.

Profitability and cash flow are 2 different matters

I didn't know HDB selling flats at lelong price until now 💰💰💰

 

 

The story:

G got an apple for $2.

He sold it to his neighbor who is willing to buy the apple for $4.

But he knew that if he sell the apple in the market, he will get at least $6.

So in conclusion, he knew he made a loss of $2 from the sale of the apple to his neighbor.

Short answer is "YES".. dunno got the interest component boh..

Pple very happy that the white give 2.5% in OA.. harlow the accurred interest for the HDB oso at the same rate.. at this rate more will become caught in the vicious cycle..

Of cos pple will say the income had gone up.. no doubt BUT got much the inflation rate? the rate of HDB price? i work in a company with 10000 workers.. abt half (my estimate) or more of them salary is $3000 per month or so.. the top 5% maybe 15K above.. so if base on the magic formula of 80% stay in HDB i dunno how pple can afford..

The 1st generation Ministers want to ensure a roof over our heads. Now is a squeezing tool for our blood.
