In conversation with AK 2019 (Part 2).

Thursday, August 1, 2019

Reader #1 says...
Do you feel that there’s a REIT in Singapore which we could buy and hold forever?

AK says...
I thought I could hold First REIT forever.

I changed my mind. 😜

Now, I wonder if I could hold AA REIT forever?

I think we have to be prepared for changes because they do happen.

I noticed that you hardly talked about Forex Trading.

May I know if you could share your thoughts on it?

Actually I’m asking this because one of my friends is doing it and he advertised it on his Facebook recently

AK says...
FOREX trading.

Hmm.

I dunno anything about trading in currencies.

It isn't something I can value.

I made a mention of this in my blogs on Bitcoin.

Bad AK! Bad AK! 😛

AK says...

Been a while since I took a photo of my breakfast.


Two hard boiled eggs eaten with a sprinkling of salt and black pepper.

A glass of warm water infused with ginseng roots.

101 investment choices

Friday, December 25, 2009


There are so many things we can invest in these days. Basically, it's a whole gamut of stuff including stuff like wines, art, watches, jewelry and antiques. Heck, I collected comics when I was in school because a friend of mine told me how they could appreciate in value over time! The comics are probably still mouldering away at home.

For the average person, there is no need to be knowledgeable in all or even most forms of investments and there is definitely no need to diversify into 101 areas in investment. I am quite contented to have the following:

1. Bank deposits
2. CPF
3. SRS
4. Foreign currencies (RMB and IDR)
5. Gold buillion coins
6. Single Premium Endowment Policies
7. Regular Premium Endowment Policies
8. Regular Premium Life Policies
9. Unit trusts
10. Equities (High yielding types mostly.)
11. Real Estate

I am able to manage these on my own and, in aggregate, if they outperform the returns from fixed deposits and outpace inflation, I'm happy. To me, investment is not a complicated matter. It's quite simple.

Keep things simple. Don't complicate things for ourselves. Land banking? Wine? I don't need these. There are many money making opportunities with the tools I have now. That's enough for me.
