Yes, agree with Albert. OCBC is the cheapest so far charging at 0.3% but I am not sure how long it will last because OCBC stated it is promotional. POSB charging at 1%. Phillip charging at $6.42 for investments between $200 to $1,000 per month. In percentage, 0.645% to 3.21%. Go for OCBC first. If n...

every cfd broker should allow you to do the test and trade after you pass.

then go with poems share builder plan. you can sell less than 1 lot, but of course, the price won't be as good. I saw the POSB invest-saver plan on the news as well and checked it out.

here is my version of the seminar: Market Views Bernanke words have no meaning. Bernanke is stepping down on Jan 14 and his words no longer carry much weight anymore. US is playing the money game. USD is the world’s currency. Other currencies can be printed without much impact. The 2008 financial cr...

No doubt the cost of such Blue Chip dollar cost averaging plan is high. I want to give a practical aspect for this. When I started working, I did not have much money to invest. And I was a poor saver. I have to start somewhere. I want to have a discipline way of saving and yet, give me returns. The ...

How many people can be a millionaire by picking one stock? We all know the odds is not high. Will you put all your money in one stock? Let's say it is possible for the person to pick the right stock to be a millionaire, how is he going to survive for 40 years without cashflow (income)? Both cashflow...

I just did a post on bigfatpurse.com which is relevant to helping all of us to frame the purposes of trading and investing. Rich Dad will advise you to focus on building your cashflow if you want to be rich. When Dennis Ng was still alive, he would say that is not true. He got rich by capital gains....

Yes, Candy. Graduates can consider investing in STI ETF through POEMS if 1) they have small capital and do not have enough money to invest in a few stocks (using all your money on one stock is very risky!) 2) they are not confident in picking stocks like Dennis. Invest in something stable and in the...

3.9% is real returns. If the inflation is 5%, meands their nominal rate of returns is 8.9%.

I do not think they will ever go to 68% cash. They have to beat inflation

Cash on hand increased from 3% to 11%. Our geniuses at GIC think the market risk is eminent. Just as what Dennis has been warnin...
