Saturday morning with Victor Chng: Level Up!

Thursday, March 6, 2014

My blog about how AK feels like Bilbo Baggins might still be quite fresh on your mind. In case you are wondering, I am still meditating on the issue and wondering what kind of disguise would work.

While I am still meditating, the boat has to leave without me. Well, it can't be helped, I guess. There is always another boat and, maybe, by then, I would have made up my mind.


However, quite honestly, I didn't know about this particular boat until 2 nights ago.

Well, at least, I can help spread the word about this event which is happening very soon:

Venue:


 
SPH News Centre, Auditorium
1000 Toa Payoh North
Singapore 318994
 
Date:
 
15 March 2014, Saturday
 
Time:   9:00am - 1:00pm
(Registration starts 8:30am.)

It is just slightly more than a week away. Rather short notice.

Hear from one of the brilliant analytical minds I mentioned somewhere in my blog's comments section before. I spoke with him at length again recently and I was really impressed. His name is Victor Chng and he will share with you his insights on what is currently unloved by Mr. Market.

Someone else whom you might learn something from is Chris Chan. I learned quite a few things from him about insurance in his presentations before. Get the right kind of insurance at the right prices. Although I have taken his advice to heart, I have yet to defrag my insurance policies. Maybe, one day, I will have a chat with Chris.

I was told that there are only about 200 tickets available for sale. So, if you want to attend the event, you have to be fast.

Oh, I haven't told you the ticket prices:

$9.00 for one ticket.

Bring a friend and you pay only $15.00 for two tickets.

Here is the link: Level Up Life Series.

If you are a student, just show up at the venue and flash your matriculation card. Why? You get to go in for free! This is the promise my friends made. So, go early and get your free seat!

Remember, go with an open mind and I think there will be plenty of useful knowledge to take away.

If you do not think you need more guidance or the services offered, don't sign up for anything. This is the same thing I said about attending Value Investing Summit in 2013 and 2014.

However, if you feel that you need more guidance or if you feel that you do not have time to do due diligence, then, consider signing up with Victor for his discussion forum!

The forum will not cost you thousands of dollars. It will not cost you one thousand dollars. It will not even cost you half a thousand dollars.

Victor has put a lot of thought into the design of the discussion forum and I believe that it will be truly value for money.

My friends are taking baby steps to fulfil their vision of promoting financial literacy without charging high prices and to channel a percentage of their earnings towards charitable causes at the same time.

If you have the time and a few dollars to spare, spend a Saturday morning with Victor Chng and see for yourself this young man in action (and you will know if AK had postage stamps over his eyes).

Invest $10,000 and get a 24% yield in 24 months.

Wednesday, March 5, 2014


I received an email from a reader regarding an investment opportunity and he asked me for my opinion:

Hi !

I heard about your blog from my father and I am very impressed! I would like to ask you if you know about the German Real Estate Investments through XXXXXXX Wealth Holdings. The minimum cash in is $10k and the yield is 24% over 24 months. Is it too good to be true? Is it a scam? Could you help me look into it please and give me advice on whether to cash in or not. Thanks!!
IL





My reply:
Hi IL,

Ask them how is that 24% return on investment over a 24 months period achieved. If they cannot explain it to your satisfaction, don't touch it with a 5 feet pole.

If an explanation is given, see if they are paying you from cash flow generated by the properties or are you simply taking back some of your own money.







I visited their website.

Their "dedicated and talented management team" has over 25 years of combined industry experience. I wonder how many people are on their team?

At the bottom of the page, it says that they are not regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. That doesn't sit well with me.

I don't know if it is a scam but when in doubt, I stay out. :)

Best wishes,
AK








Apology: Due to an administrative oversight regarding an advertorial earlier, I had to take down this blog post and re-publish it today. Very sorry for causing any discomfort to some readers. :( - AK, 4.52pm, 6 March 2014.
