What’s in a economic recession? Macroeconomically, it has great implications on the economic output and later stability in the market. To us, let’s be more pragmatic. If you have a stable job, all the best for you. If not, the issue for you is continuing employment. Let’s look at it from what you can do, [...]

Ukey Hoo — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 04:22:06 +0000

Where is there the biggest property investment opportunities in the world? The obvious answer is where the property market is hot…..but is it? I have realized so far that counter-intuitively, investment in any hot market will only get you to a point where you better know when you MUST sell, failing which you will lose [...]

As the markets stabilized and economies getting back on track (hopefully), a growing trend is happening that’s creating a discrepancy between eastern and western economies, something that’s starting to create an opportunity for people with my investing profile.

The correction over the past month or so might have come to an end, in the midst of World Cup 2010, a historically period of low trading volume. In taking stock of your finances over the past month, has your net worth fallen in tandem with the market, or had it increased? That’s a tell [...]

Property in Singapore, Boom or Bubble

Ukey Hoo — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 06:57:54 +0000

I’ve been listening to doom and gloom experts for years, and as such had been heavily putting money when times are fearful, and been more conservative during the heights of booms. It had helped me significantly outpace most of my peers in net worth and earnings thus far, and I really hope, will continue for [...]

I’ve Been To The Mountaintop

Negotiation is a part of life. Not everybody understands this, but we do negotiations everyday!

This is an article I took from http://www.afralug.com/wsforum/showthread.php?tid=3668&pid=35064#pid35064. Seriously, I didn’t manage to read about it on the newspaper, so its only now that I saw this. And its something that happens everywhere, especially with Alpha type personalities. Somehow, the “catch up with the Jones” syndrome and “I must be better” disease are heavily infectious [...]
