My Property Investment - Manhanttan in Cairns?!
Despite anticipating for the purchase of the property at 132 Smith Street, I think I have waited for too long - almost half a year already.
Anyway, this is the one I have decided to go in.
Manhattan (left) & Central Park Cairns (right)
[Picture from centralparkcairns.com.au]
Manhattan is in Cairns, Australia. Ya, Manhattan is the name of the property. It's very near the largest shopping centre, Performing Arts Centre, Convention Centre, City Mall etc. Furthermore, with the recent tourism boom and the scarity of land in Cairns, I trust my property investment will be in good hands especially with this market leader property developer and management.
On top of these and the world famous one-and-only Great Barrier Reef, the biggest point to me (and which is why I was sold to this property) is the proximity to the CASINO (only 600-metres away).

Crude Palm Oil Plantation Investment
I just went into a new investment today on Crude Palm Oil. I got to know about this Country Heights investment from my friends Paul & Joenia.
The returns will be based on the guaranteed return of 8% for the first 3 years and subsequently it is projected to distribute the average returns of 11% p.a. (up to 17% max) throughout a period of 20 years.
It also allows me to enjoy capital appreciation at the end of maturity years. When the investment maturity years end, the palm oil land will be put up for sale based on the valuation of current market price. The sales proceed will be distributed equally among the plot investors.

S$5,000
I was talking to a long-time primary school asking me to help her invest S$5,000.
She regarded FD as low returns, but when I told her about trading and some high-yield investment returns (which is in the range of 100% to 300%) as quite 'impossible'. I found that people normally gave all sorts of excuses to part their money into investment, yet readily spent them off as christmas gifts and some de-stress excuses.
Back to the S$5,000, I didn't give her an investment mode in the end. But rather, I told her to understand her own financial situation. Before I can tell her the right investment medium, she has to know her risk profile, expected returns, required liquidity of funds etc. And don't go for free gifts (this is especially silly when we look at investment products offered by most banks).
As always, one size doesn't fit all. Same goes to investment! Only by understand your own financial status, then will you be able to plan your Financial Routemap accordingly. When the whole Financial Routemap is firmed up, you can then consider the ERP* with the concept of Capital Preservation Model in mind.
* ERP = Early Recruitment Plan
p/s: I will talk about the ERP and Capital Preservation Model soon.

S'pore residential market is world's hottest this year

S'pore residential market is world's hottest this year
By Nicholas Fang
SINGAPORE'S booming housing market is the world's hottest this year, with local home prices recording the fastest increase.
Residential property prices in the Republic surged 24.3 per cent, after adjustments for inflation, ahead of other bullish markets such as Shanghai in China and Bulgaria, said property investment research house Global Property Guide.
In a report published online, the firm said Singapore's strong performance, like those of Japan and South Korea, was due to robust economic growth.
The survey was compiled using the latest official data from 42 countries, though other statistics were used for a few markets, such as Japan and the Philippines, where such figures were not available.
The latest Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) numbers used in the survey show that Singapore home prices registered a 27.6 per cent annual jump at the end of September, significantly higher than the 7.6 per cent posted a year ago.
This nominal, non-inflation adjusted figure was below the 30.6 per cent recorded by Bulgaria in September and the 27.9 per cent recorded by Shanghai in October.
But in real terms, after adjustments for low inflation of only 2.66 per cent, the Republic leapfrogged these two markets to reach the top spot, said the report.
Singapore's strong showing underscored a more general recovery in Asia, where several markets gained momentum in the first three quarters of the year.
Global Property said this reflected, to some extent, continued recovery from the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
In contrast, the United States housing market crashed due to the sub-prime mortgage crisis, while high interest rates were behind the slowdown in European house prices.
'In Europe, most countries registered unimpressive year-on-year house price changes in 2007, aside from Norway and Estonia,' the report said.
Looking to the year ahead, Global Property said property prices in much of Asia are still undervalued compared with pre-Asian crisis levels, despite strong increases this year.
It expects potential improvement in rentals in Singapore.
'We believe gross rental yields are now too low, at 2 to 3 per cent.
'Nevertheless, Singapore is attracting and admitting more foreign-born workers - which is positive for prices,' it said.
Elsewhere in the region, Global Property also recommended Cambodia, Thailand, Japan, Australia and New Zealand to property investors.
It, however, cautioned against investing in Europe, apart from a handful of Eastern European states, because of high valuations after a long period of price appreciation.
In the Middle East, it found Egypt attractive for its high rental yields and low taxes, but warned of a possible oversupply in Dubai as more properties come on stream over the next two years.

Millionaire Mind Intensive (SG) - Day 1
Just want to share what I've learnt today... Some key concepts include:
1. Your money zone is your comfort zone. To expand your money zone, you have to change your mindset to win the money game.
2. FINANCIAL FREEDOM
= Working Income + Savings + Investments + Passive Income + Simplify
3. Separate your income into different accounts for specific purposes
4. Always Pay Yourself First. Our part-time business is managing and investing money, and creating passive income streams.
5. Do a declaration by touching your heart (or chest) and point to your head and say 'I have a millionaire mind'!
6. Your Physical world is a printout of your Mental, Emotional and Spirtual World. So, to permanently change your outer world is to first change your inner world.
7. The Process of Manifestion:
Thoughts -> Feelings -> Actions = Results
8. 3 methods of Conditioning:
Verbal Programming, Modelling & Specific Incidents
9. Motivation for money should be based on purpose and joy vs. fear, anger or proving yourself.
10. 'I rule money, money doesn't rule me.'
11. 3 steps to change:
Awareness, Understanding & Reconditioning
Finally, How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything!

21 pips on Thanksgiving Day!
Today the US market is closed for Thanksgiving Day. And I have not been trading for a couple of days because of a couple of reasons.
I went JB Jusco to learn how to create Flash on tuesday evening. Then when I was happily back from dinner and learning Flash, I was caught up in a minor road accident. I ran up a kerb at high speed and the whole car bottom was severly damaged. Thus, I was busy running to Toyota and LTA for inspection and application etc etc.
Anyway, this is one trade on my favourite GBP/USD currency pair. Result is not as fabulous as before, probably because the US market is not open. Anyway, it's 21 pips!

8 cents profit from an US$1.7K investment!
On friday, I entered a credit spread on $SPY. I 'risked' US$1,725 to earn a measly US$75 profit(which translated to only 4.3%). There's a total of 18 pairs of spreads (i.e. 36 legs).
Unfortunately, the trade was executed on optionsXpress and the commissions summed up to US$74.92! If you still don't understand what it meant, my net profit is only US$0.08!!!
Once again, Stupid me to invest US$1,725 to earn US$0.08!!!
