People should ask why Sporeans are often victims of scams. I think it is because the PAP has failed to develop the local investment scene. In fact I think they actively dissuade it. They prefer to keep the masses ignorant & dependant on the PAP. The schemes they encourage are those which...

I usually invest in bluechips. Like Buffet I believe in holding for the long term. Read somewhere that those who flip stocks don't make as much $ as holding long term. Have held some of my Apple stocks for 16+ years. I still own the Malaysian stocks I bought during the CLOB days. They now...

When I 1st started looking at investing in Spore there were few options available other than mutual funds(unit trusts). This was what Spore banks were pushing decades ago. Back then Sporeans did not have access to the internet because the PAP limited it only to a few. It was when I started...

GLCs can only survive in Spore because of their connections with the PAP gov't. As long as the PAP are in power, expect these GLCs to grow & kill off the competition.

Take a look at what happened in Malaysia & Najib/Rosnah. PAP is slowly cooking the Spore goose. By the time they are finished & kicked out there will be little left. I predict that when the opposition gains power, it will be very, very messy e.g. zero CPF, millions of foreigners in Spore...

Is CPF= pension? CPF is our money. It is money taken from our salary.

I don't bother with the Spore market because of the problems of Spore being a small market & high brokerage fees. The best period in Spore for investors was way back during the 90's where people were punting in the local market. Even students & house wives made & lost $$$. Nowadays the...

He is supposed to be an elite. One of the highly paid MPs of the PAP. So how does he expect to improve the economy of Spore?

The PAP usually uses the old schools as dumping grounds e.g. Lee Ah Moo old folks home at Thomson. They've tried to discard them in Batam and Malaysia. It shows how much they value the old folks of Spore:rolleyes: Doubt foreigners would be interested in going to Telok Kurau when they...

I wonder what would have happened if the stop at two policy had NOT been implemented? Would there be more old and unemployed Sporeans out there who would be struggling under the policies of the PAP ?

Tourists are looking for unique experiences that differ from what they are used to back home. This varies from foods, culture, festivals, environment, ... etc. The PAP philosophy is not about preserving the past but making $$$. You can see this in modern Spore which is a cultural desert...

PAP run Spore must have plenty of mouths to feed. Expensive MPs, civil servants, those working in GLCs, paper generals, etc ST must employ plenty of loyal PAP faithfuls. Laying off the redundant in these organisations might be laying off the relatives & friends of the party. There are...

Nowadays one has to get internet access. Companies like M1's provide home broadband for only $29. per month. This includes internet access at speeds of 500Mbps. The Package includes telephone connection via the internet. One can make & receive unlimited local telephone calls. Just...

Trump is the US version of having the Lee's in charge:biggrin: Except in the US they don't control all the media. If the democrats take control of the house I think the Trump clan will all end up in jail?

What does Trump know? He refuses to listen to his own advisor like Gary Cohen who disagreed with Trump & quit The US economy is overheating & that is why the fed is raising the interest rates.

What investors don't like is uncertainty. Trade wars is just one issue that people are keeping an eye on. For example Apple share prices took a hit when people worried that it would be affected by the tariffs. The following is a warning by Jamie Dimond...

Useful to know. In BKK I would go to the canteen at the basement of Suvarnabhumi airport if I am hungry, However by the time I get back to Spore it's usually at night & I have to rush to make sure it's before the MRT closes. In the past I would end up taking a cab for $50+. If I wasn't...

Used to only buy computer parts in Spore. Remember visiting the service centres for warranty claims for faulty video cards, power supply & HDD. I usually ended up paying $$ for the warrantied parts to be replaced. The alternative was to wait 30 to 60 days to have the parts sent back to...

Restaurants located in airports are usually expensive & one does not expect quality. I often get a few sandwiches from S&P for the flight to Spore because I usually reach Spore late at night when restaurants are closed. I usually get sandwiches you

I've said previously that Trump is going to be bad for the US economy which influences the global economy. He is starting trade wars, removing regulations, running up the US deficit,.... etc. Like it or not If the US catches a cold, economies world wide are going to suffer. If you look at...
