Observation
Reflecting on the Past, Celebrating the Future
A PERSONAL MEMOIR My 45th birthday came and went in an almost uneventful manner. But it marked a most significant moment in my life. It started in Penang after completing 4 days of tutorial there. Lucy and I woke up in a hotel room at 7am to get ready to leave after breakfast. While checking […]

Guess who made the cover story for this month’s issue?
My 2008 In Review
Up till this year, 1992 had been the best year of my life – I bought my first car, won Group 2 of Toto, got my first HDB flat in Pasir Ris via ballot, won three of the biggest pitches in the advertising industry that year including the Army TV Commercial and I got married. […]

The Last Week Of October.
This coming week, for me, marks the anniversary of many occasions and milestones in my life. And three years into my trading career, it also marks a critical time in the market as we endure the worst financial crisis the world has ever experienced. Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the infamous Black Monday of 1929 […]
What To Do With Your Money Now
Before I begin, allow me to apologize upfront if what you are about to read is either arrogant, untimely or retardedly opportunistic but I am prompted by the massive write up in today’s Sunday Times about the current financial situation that is affecting everybody. Firstly, screw the bankers who are complaining that they are not […]
Choosing A Mentor/Teacher/Coach/Guru?
I don’t envy the people who have to make the choice of picking an investment mentor today. Everyday, in every publication, we find ad after ad screaming ‘success’ and ‘profits’ and ‘make money’, with testimonials of massive profits and extraordinary percentage margins. And here you are, with not a lot of money to afford attending […]
