“Investing should be as exciting as watching grass grow.”
If we understand how businesses operate, we will have to note that they will release their results at the earliest every quarter. Even listed companies will have their accounts audited and reported on an annual basis for all their investors and the public. In other words, it should be highly unlikely that we invest today…

It’s ALSO the ‘last-mile’ closure, not just more leads
A senior manager with a property developer was speaking to me the other day. He told me that these days customers are taking ever longer time before buying. Similar views as his have been shared to me by many real estate negotiators (REN) as well. When I asked if the number of people visiting the…

Co-working is working, really. Will work even better in future.

On the way up the developer’s office which was in Tamarins House, I saw Scoopoint (social collaborative opportunities), a co-working office which I read about in Facebook many months back. After the meeting with the developer ended, I went down…

Operating since 2014 and duping hundreds of ‘investors’
18 percent returns per yearly. Sounds too good to be true? Actually, based on the current interest rates even for Malaysia, 18 percent per annum is still considered extremely high.
