5 years time, KCChongNZ? I invested 200k in a penny stock in October - November 2013. And it wasn't even the Mother stock, but a newly issued Warrants. By mid-August 2014, it was worth 565k. Now why wud I want to bother with a strong-fundamentals 3rd liner, mid-cap or 2nd liner giving roti-canai dividends & then hv to wait for 5 years for it to double. That is, IF it does ever double.

KC, I like this statement you had shared here

"During the bear market, Apollo share may go down to RM2.00, but you would not feel too scare as the dividend yield then is 12.5%. In other words, it can provide a “floor” for share price when bear stampedes, and you won’t get too worried and still be able to sleep well"

a 'head I win and tail I don't lose much" style of investment

I always follow this principle to invest because I don't like to run and do not know how to escape during the market price crashes

so I play safe, the company I invested in must have (i) yield at least better than bank SA can give you,(ii) foreseeable growth for the coming year 1 or 2 years , (iii) buy in at a reasonable price based on the valuation techniques I had learnt from your article and (iv) wait patiently for your turn to enjoy your harvest.

you must know, every investment needs some luck. God need time to decide who should take the money. it is definitely not those who can't wait.

do not tell me , how smart you are to have made 100%, 200% or 300%,..
just refresh the history of datasonic or prestariang, there are buses of people making that score including me.

conclusion:

SAFE money is always better than FAST money. sometimes SAFE can be fast also

LUCK IS UNPREDICTABLE. Stay safe and sleep well and keep good health to enjoy your winning

Tony Blair apologises for Iraq War

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/tony-blair-apologises-iraq-war-mistakes-230814028.html#sR9KTLR

The war that according to BBC Television killed more than 500,000 Iraqis. The majority of them children, women & the elderly. And the war that some dudes reckon was the ultimate cause for the rise of IS.

Now, as an Englishman would say, 'Well, it's bloddy late, ain't it?'

Told you you wont be interested. and by the way, the book writes nothing about meditation.

And while we are on the topic of meditation, there are US soldiers fighting in Iraq that uses meditation to deal with the burden of war and the probability of death at anytime, talk about escaping into unreal perfect world.

i have great respect for old folks trying something new each day
than succumbed to thoughts that they are dying and hopeless..

remember its all about having the right mindset.
not all things abou money money money..
well money can buy happiness and arab women..

but definately cant buy .... what made you - you.

have faith in what you buy while making money
please help those unfortunates.

positive message - nothing but doa for you all to success in life.
got money but having broken families with divorce also no use.

its all about your own unique experience and journey
not everyone created equals in their journey..
some stumble , some falls but some given all luckiness, faith
and perseverance...

will succeed....

Now dreampredator, let me explain. Firstly the book written by Marcus Aurelius has totally nothing to do with the meditation youre thinking.

So what just happened? You are bringing preconception and belief, you are making assumption without clarifying, now that is very dangerous when it comes to investing. Preconception is a psychological bias that can harm you in investing.

2nd. You do not seek to understand what is the purpose of meditation and you have already shrug off as something zen-like and only monk would do, or some hippie that wants to escape reality does it. So what just happened? You are carrying your ego into conversation thus you do not bother to ask what is meditation, that is very dangerous in investing. You have to constantly challenging your assumptions to minimize capital loss.

Now Stephen Hawking would be disappointed because considered that your intelligence is way above him. Making this kind of mistake is considered a grade 1 mistake. Scientist always challenge their own assumptions, they are not to be treasured.

Since you're such a big fanboy of Marcus Aurelius, JT, I hv decided to gv ya some face by quoting some of his 'meditations', which would rather hv been more rightly termed 'contemplations', or 'ponderings', by my judgement.

And the precise title is, JT, 'Meditations' with an 's', rather than just 'Meditation', hence my initial misjudgement of what it was really all about.

1. “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”

Which was in essence what I was talking about, mixing work with fun.

2. “You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

Got no disagreement with that. Been cultivating this thing for quite a while.

3. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

This too.

4. “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”

Oh yeaaahh. One can say that again. And again. And again. And it includes what everyone - including author KCChongNZ - is saying in this thread.

5. “When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...”

Same comment as for Philosophy #2 & Philosophy #3

Good day ya all.
