Investing Thoughts: December 2007
http://invest-tots.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 28, 2007. There's too much uncertainty in the markets currently and I expect it would continue this way till Feb 2008. Currently, I would avoid India, US and Thailand like plague. India due to its proximity to Pakistan, US with its close ties to Pakistan and Thailand for uncertain political outlook in the near future with the Thai army not ruling out another coup.

Investing Thoughts: May 2009
http://invest-tots.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. For today, the index has started to take a dip. If the dip continues based on this week trend, it would show that a correction is in effect where current prices would most likely be off between 15% to 20%. I would say that having a correction is healthy as it allows the economy to catch up, and the markets would then moderate towards recovery. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Investing Thoughts: February 2008
http://invest-tots.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2008. Sorry to burst your bubbles, I'm not referring to the rising unit trusts nor index. However, what I'm referring to may be of very good news for investors dealing in alternative or niche areas like materials, energy and gold. Recently, there's news regarding the reviewing of prices of iron ore by Chinese firms. It is expected that prices of ore would probably rise 60-70%. Thus, unit trusts dealing with materials are showing an upward trend too. Links to this post. This entails r...

Friday, May 9, 2008. Commodity boom and inflation. Funds for commodity and energy should be booming now with rising raw material prices and oil prices. However, as rice prices reaches a high, this might cause concerns for the economy. For the past month, we had witnessed rises in commodities, energy funds and also in the Brazil sector.

Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Christmas is coming and merry christmas in advance! However, although I see most indexes recovering from their lows in recent weeks, the big question would be whether the momentum can be sustained? However, in light of the festive period, I'm afraid to say that investors would probably be selling of their stocks in get cash for presents. I believe that probably after Feb 2009 then we would see signs of retail investors coming back slowly and this would stabilise the market.

Friday, September 28, 2007. Just an update here. There would be some changes to the investment scheme for CPF. Most notable is the fact that the first $20k in your ordinary account can't be used for investment anymore with effect from April 2008. However, any current standing instructions would not be affected. For more information, you can refer to Ministerial Statement on CPF reforms. CPF-OA - CPF Ordinary Account. T-bills - Treasury Bills.

Thursday, June 26, 2008. Recently, I came across a news article talking about value cost averaging. Basically, value cost averaging is a improved version of dollar cost averaging which requires some active monitoring to managing of your investment account. I had created a simple spreadsheet should you require help in starting up a new VCA investment plan for yourself. Value Cost Averaging Plan. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 18, 2008.

Investing Thoughts: Retirement Planning
http://invest-tots.blogspot.com/2013/06/retirement-planning.html
Saturday, June 1, 2013. It is always best to start retirement planning as early as possible. This would allow your savings to grow due to compounding interests. First of all, you would need to calculate how much you require every month when you retire. Take into consideration inflation or the purchasing power of your money in the future. For example, you might just require $1000 for basic necessities in the future. View my complete profile.
