Same here. Getting no traction with Mohan at all. My guess is either he is super busy clinching BIG deals or he is not interested to spend his time on small wine investments like mine. Maybe we need some BIG wine investors eg. Dennis to see if he can get in touch with Mohan to respond to all his gra...

Hi RTan, May I offer you a contrarian view on this. Once a person sold off his/her current home, in the long term, they will still need to hunt for another perm staying location. So after they sold off their current place, with the cash/cpf in hand, how many of us can really afford to lose this amou...

Hi James, Sorry to hear your plight. I believe your wine should be Chateau Ausone St Emilion. A quick search online shows Robert Parker rated the wine of 2007 at 94 which under their wine classification, should still be classified as a good vintage wine, though the higher the score will be better. I...

Hi James, I had bought through Assetton as well. However I am not able to advise you on selling as I had not sold any yet. As for experience with them, for me so far has been good. Who is the person dealing with you? I believe they have a lot of enquires recently as the wines from the 2009 harvest h...

Wine, Land or traded endowment for now?

To add to traded endowment, I read from latest Jim Rogers Blog that UK outlook is bad and the deficit is getting larger, much like US. So how are we able to guarantee that the UK govt is able to give 90% guarantee to each person's traded endowment?

Anybody has any insight into this?

Thanks.
Adrian

Re: Ref : UOB Silver account - Some doubt

Thanks Dennis for your explanation. I guess I was misled by the lady at UOB who told me that most of her customers who opens the Silver depost account used to go in and out of UOB frequently to buy/sell which led me to think its more like short term than long term. Moreover, the fees stated on their...

Re: Ref : UOB Silver account - Some doubt

I had gone to UOB and the impression I got is that Gold/Silver investing is more for short-term traders than for long term. Correct me if I am wrong but for example I put in 5K to open a Silver account with UOB, UOB will take away a fee every month in terms of Silver ounce or interest. And I need to...
