Buffett's secrets from Baltimore County Public Library.

I just received a parcel. It contains a hard cover copy of "Buffettology" from Baltimore County Public Library!

The library received the book in November 1997. Wow! Imagine that. I was only 26 years old in 1997.

This book is 16 years old! It was sitting in a public library in the USA and now it is mine. I get a strange, fuzzy feeling thinking about it.

It also gives me satisfaction to know that this purchase from BetterWorldBooks helped to fund literacy for the less privileged.

Some stuff in the book.

New material for bedtime reading.

Emergency Fund: How much is enough?

I want to thank a former guest blogger, Winston Koh, for showing me a video clip by the famous Suze Orman on the topic of "Emergency Fund".



In case we lose our jobs, it could take us a much longer time to get a new job if Singapore goes into a severe recession. Think GFC. Think AFC.

We would need an emergency fund to tide us over and we do not want to be in a situation where we might have to liquidate our investments at depressed prices. The cost of holding an emergency fund is well worth it. There is no question about this.
