Time really flies these days when we are in our mid 30s, pegged by a combination of busy work and heavy loads of watching our children grow as each year past by I wanted to wrap things up for the year given that I will be taking a holiday trip to Bali with my family for the next few days until Christmas, and wanted to do a reflection of my equity performance this year before I then wrap things up…

I never had brain farts that cost me dearly monetary wise for some time (touch wood). Brain farts, for those that are not acquainted with the term, is some temporary mental lapse in judgement. I think the closest was in 2009 January. That was in the midst of one of the greatest financial crisis of our time. I decide to spend $2,107 on a STI put warrant. The idea was to hedge my downside exposure…

2018 is a rather slack year for me. I don't think I work as hard as I do in previous years in terms of work, so the time that is otherwise spent working is channeled to my family, especially my growing child. This year is also a bad year for those who invested in equities. It seems like if you put money under your pillow, you'll end up being better. Will it affect my net-worth? Let's see.The last…

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are popular among income investors since they generally offer dividend yields that are higher than the stock market average. By investing in REITs, investors can also receive regular distributions, usually on a quarterly basis. With that, let’s take a look at three office REITs that have the highest distribution yields (yield data as of 7 December 2018): REIT …

I am going to cover some of these insurance retirement plans, since I have the resources to do so. I am doing this in order to let readers see it from my perspective. This is so that, if you met up with an adviser and this is put in front of you, you got another way of looking at it. Since I written a whole section on retirement planning & financial independence , it does make sense for me to view…

Can someone just give me some advice. I have been observing price action for sometime. But i do not understand a few things. Really appreciate some sincere coaching. Thanks 1) why would anyone wants to sell lower than what it is trading now. Eg instead of $1, throw down at $0.80 2) likewise, the buy up. 3) i always hear fake queues. Whats the purpose/ objective of it?

Yesterday, I posted the latest yield that you can get if you purchase the Singapore Savings Bonds . And a few readers main comment is that the yield curve is inverting and we should be careful. As you can see from the 1 year and 10 year SGS bond yield, the yields look to be narrowing. And if the yield inverts, it is a really bad thing. I think there is validity about respecting the yield curve…

Many companies borrow to finance growth and expansion, and this is the way businesses grow and expand in a capitalist society. Loans are extended to companies, some of which may not have the equity capital to invest and grow, and interest is then charged on such loans. Investors have to study the cost of using this debt (also known as “leverage” or “gearing”) as expensive debt can work against the…

Suppose you need to spend $40,000/yr the next year for your family. Based on the proverbial 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate, you would need to accumulate $1 million in order to seriously think about whether both spouse could both retire or not. The 4% withdrawal rate is tested through historical rolling 30 year periods, on a 50% equity 50% bonds allocation. 4% gives a high probability your money would…
