Not to offend you, but honestly, I wouldn't encourage you to have children... even if you're rich!

Having or not having kids is of course a personal choice. My wife and I had made that choice not to have. We're pretty much enjoying ourselves, maybe too much :p :p

Im trying hard to get out of the current stalemate. I dont ask for much. Just a place whereby there is a good balance of life and work, nice environment to live. Both of us love children, but unfortunately still without one. I used to want 2. But now I just want 1 if I still remain in Singapore. This is not the place to raise the kids.

Yes Raiders an environment of good balance is important for kids and not forgetting also for oneself even if you've got no kids.

I would love to try but is a complete dummy in doing that. Are you willing to teach me the basic?

Not that I don't want to help, but I'm no expert:o I'm actually still a newbie in the investing game. Decades ago I simply decided to open an account with Etrade & allocated a proportion of my salary to buying shares in blue chip companies. Over time the shares appreciated.

I remember that when Apple shares were about $250 I recommended to an acquaintance that he should open an account with Etrade & buy some shares. He never took the 1st steps & today the share are around $530 to $550. You don't have to buy Apple shares there are many cheaper shares which provide a dividen e.g. Microsoft. However you have to take the 1st steps. It's a long term project & you need patience.

I know people who flip properties on their spare time However these people can pay cash or leverage their homes & jobs. You've got to have $$$ to do this.

Another option to open an account with Etrade & learn to use options to trade contracts. This is something I am now exploring. Instead of wasting time & listening to the PAP's mantra of "upgrading" One should learn something useful like trading.

I've invested in Malaysia, Spore & US. The best place to invest is the US because it is one of the cheapest markets to invest in.

There are quite a few trustworthy ones, but the safest ones are usually those "investment banks" that are owned by a big commercial bank, e.g. DBS Vickers (owned by DBS), OCBC Securities (owned by OCBC), UOB Kay Hian (owned by UOB), etc.

If you trade using Vickers, OCBC, etc, expect to pay $$$. Using a discount broker like Etrade is much cheaper if you are trading US shares. It will only cost US$9.95 to buy 1 or 1,000 shares.

Etrade has an office in Spore.

but you claim to be a martial art expert that can fight off jaguar or was it leopard bare-handed. you can start a chain of martial schools in singapore with branch in jb and batam even. instead you choose to selflessly share your invaluable experience here so why can't the millionaires?

I think u are too much into yourself or over-indulging in thinking that u can come up with a good peom anytime. u are obviously mistaken. a good peom is not simply one that rhythms. it should be of something that one has to spend some time in interpreting and reflecting. what u have written in all these posts can simply be achieved with a one-liner. So what u have been doing is a pure waste of time. Poems they certainly are not. Rap, maybe, but even for that, it's still of the lowest quality. No wonder u are the greatest balls carrier of Leongsam here.

Thanks for the encouragements, I think one day I need to seriously look into this. The only shares I own are those Singtel shares allocated to us before. Never have the thought to get into shares because I believe one need to have some fundamentals to do this. I really don't have the time. I wonder if this is just an excuse or no guts to get in.

There are people who make but most lost plenty, some even bankrupted. Better to invest in yourself like drifter says and your own business. Buying shares is not so simple and you need to spend time on it and as you said, you really don't have the time. My 2 cents.

No they don't you twit. Don't be fooled by the PR stunts multimillionaires pull in order to appear generous.

Bono of U2 was exposed for the charlatan that he is when the band moved their assets to a tax haven to avoid tax law changes in Ireland. This is a guy who goes around making headlines by taking governments to task for not doing enough to eliminate poverty. His actions tell a different story.

You're obviously a very gullible person. You're getting conned by both ends of the scale. The "poor" rip you off by getting you to do the dirty work of "fighting for their plight" while the rich have pulled the wool over your eyes.

Why u took so long to respond to my post? So much so that those brainless cronies of yours had to come to rescue with nonsensical postings which I didn't really bother to read since it was u that I was baiting.

It's indeed sad that u belong to the group of people who think that there are no wealthy people who are altrustic with their benevolent acts. The fact is there are, even here in S'pore, where there are quite a number of them who made their donations very secretly if not discretely, without any benefits tangible or otherwise accruing to them.

I said it's sad because u with your cronies probably had been cheated or fooled so many times in life that to u people, everyone in this world has an ulterior motive even when they are doing good deeds. I was about to show some sympathy for people like u until I remember that your type supports the very people who appear to have come up with schemes to help the poor and needy but have all the hidden sinister motives ie the PAP. It's a cruel irony that people like u have suspicions of people who do kind acts sincerely and yet are blind to the PAP devious acts. Sigh..........................

it is "rhymes", not "rhythms". "rhythms" is a noun.

I got lucky with a single gambling stock. Buddies from HK told stories of Macau casino stocks that went 10-fold in short couple of years. So when the opportunity came for Singapore, figured there was nothing to lose. Dumped all my savings into it and every month just closed eyes, just on kept buying and accummulated a lot over a few years. Cashed-out most of it when it hit my target price and moved most of it into a few properties for passive rental income instead. Balance keep as future dividend income stocks and standby funds.

Sometimes, it really is about luck, timing and lots of self-belief.

I wait for someone to comment the money was ill-gotten from others' misery, etc, etc, haha... but I did not rob, borrow or steal!
I just live a better life now and try to be useful to society by giving back where we can!

there were two nasdaq stocks that created multi millionaires out of simple investors, and they don't happen regularly or all the time. in the late 90's, it was qualcomm (qcom). stock was hovering around usd32 per share unsplit. it split several times in 99 and inflated 2000%. if you had 1000 shares then, you would have been a millionaire when you cashed out just before the crash of 2000 after y2k was milked and done. qcom had nothing to do with y2k, but it rode the comms wave with every other telecom stock, cisco, sun, nortel, lucent included. however, qcom monopolized the cdma chipset ipr, and when the u.s and europe decided to go big on 3g rollouts with cdma and wcdma, its valuation went thru' the roof. the other stock that was hovering at a very affordable level was apple. it was usd20 after the crash of 2000. if you bought 5000 then you would be a millionaire many times over if you sell it now. google started at usd100 at ipo and is now many times oversubscribed. too late for cheap bargains now. the next stock to watch when it comes online is facebook. chance favors the prepared mind.

 

[eatshitndie]

and by the way, apple has started using the qcom baseband chipset for all their new iphones and ipads. there are still good investment opportunities on qcom. it will ride the apple wave.
