  • Speculators, Interest Rates and Over-Leveraging

    “Prudence is a key accounting principle which makes sure that assets and income are not overstated and liabilities and expenses are not understated.” I seriously think this should be a personal principle that one should have when investing. Reason is because there are so many people who are so desperate to know if the interest…

  • Apple and it’s HUGE cash reserves

    Which is better? Android or iOS? In terms of handsets, Samsung or Apple?

  • If you do not ‘qualify’, please don’t buy

    A man went down on his knees in Penang today. His plea? He hopes that the developer would not force him to pay extra on top of the RM72,000 that he has paid for the medium low cost housing that he is paying for. He said that the developer is forcing all the buyers of…

  • Property Investment is not ‘everything’

    A close friend asked me since I love property, do I invest everything I have into property. I told her, no. It is important to understand the limitations and cons of property. When you need sudden cash, property would not be able to provide you with such a flexibility even if you are willing to…
