I recently needed a few mice for my computers & bought them from Amazon. Once of the mouse was $22 cheaper from Amazon compare to buying the same model from a Spore store. The other, a wireless model, is not available here.
Shipping & handling was free because the order was over $125. It took 2 weeks for the order to reach me.
I'm waiting for Black Friday when prices are usually cheaper. I already have a shopping list ready
Was talking about shopping at Amazon. I guess it also applies to investing. If you are investing in Spore they hit you with all kinds of charges. As a traditional buy & hold investor, it didn't make financial sense to hold in Spore because of all the extra charges.
In the US you only need to pay $10 for each trade whether you are buying/selling 1 share or 1,000 shares. There are no extra charges if you decide to keep these shares long term. Have owned many of my US shares for 10+ years without having to pay anything.
I've also held my Malaysian shares for many years because of the dividends. Made the mistake of holding them in Spore because the broker would charge me every month for safe keeping. Finally transferred them to a Malaysian brokeridge company & now pay nothing
When I started my investing career I invested in 3 markets: Spore, Malaysia & US. I didn't want to put all my money in a single basket(country). However now I only have investments in US & Malaysia.
The Spore market is heavily influenced by the famiLee or their cronies. I suspect many of these people have insider information .
