I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

In the name of security

Most of us are so enamoured of the idea of security that, even when we are unhappy with our jobs, we will stay with them, day after day and year after year.

The truth is that staying in situations which are unsatisfying only increases our sense of insecurity.

We begin to feel there is no other choice but to sell our souls in the name of security.

Quote from Robert Kiyosaki's book, If You Want To Be Rich & Happy

Wednesday 27 December 2006

Financially, there are three classes of people. The rich are those who play to win. The middle class plays not to lose.

For the middle class, financial security is more important than financial opportunity. Ironically, today there's far more financial opportunity than financial security, yet the middle class still seeks security.

The third group, of course, is the poor, who often work very hard yet have lost the spirit to compete in the world of money. Without spirit, it's tough to win financially, even in the richest country in the world.

Kep Corp - Accumulate more

Kep Corp came under selling pressure for the past few trading days. There will be time when fundamentally strong stock got sold down and there are many reasons why investors sell these stocks such as better investment elsewhere, rebalancing their portfolio or balancing book account.

Bought more Kep Corp @ 17.7 today in view of ease in selling pressure and good news from Semb Marine on new contract win. Expecting good FY06 result in end Jan 07 and better dividend and capital distribution like the past few years to move price towards $19.0

false sense of financial security?

Staying employed may give us a false sense of financial security and we do not realise that being employable is uncertain as we age. We are likely to be the one to be retrenched and will start getting concerned whether we could then support our kids through university and have enough food and shelter over their heads. Some of us may already have witnessed some senior colleagues being sent off.

We need to have other source of passive income while currently being employed and working towards the goal of staying employed as an option and we are ready to be sent off when it comes.

Investing is one way to achieve this goal but it requires us to put in fair amount of effort and time to acquire knowledge, skill and discipline to accumulate wealth. We could start with any amount of capital and slowly add more capital as year passes by and through prudent investing to reach our goal.

Two good books to read: "Rich Dad, Poor" and "Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires ". It teaches us how to accumulate wealth to achieve financial independence

FRASER SECURITIES (S) : StatsChipac --technical

StatsChipPac ($1.24) – broadest monthly breakout since Jan 2004 on heavy volumes paves way to reach next price objective of around $1.35-40

The stock has staged significant price breakouts since mid-Nov, which should mark the start of a decisive recovery phase with the first objective at this year’s April-May highs of $1.35-42.

Given the 41% mid-year plunge to 84 cents and the lengthy consolidation around 90 cents to $1.05 since then, this month’s breakout seems overdue and is on solid technical grounds.

Although short term indicators as RSI, momentum and MACD are overbought these are neutralised by similar medium term measures which point to further recovery in the weeks and months ahead.

The swift recovery today to a new 6-month high of $1.26 after yesterday’s pullback to $1.18 from the previous day’s $1.25 high further proves the strong momentum of the current rebound. The 50 and 100 days moving averages have just made a golden cross.

In fact Nov’s volumes are the highest since Jan when the counter started its ascent from the then year’s low of $1.01 to $1.42 in April.

This month, starting off at 97 cents, Stats has already created the widest monthly gain of 29 cents to reach $1.26 today, which has never been recorded since the 32 cent gain in Jan 2004 when it was at much higher levels between $2.12 and $2.45.

Nevertheless the stock has always fallen short the 38.2% mark recovery ($1.45 and $1.48) between this 3 year-high of $2.45 and 2005-06 lows of 88-84 cents, managing modest highs of $1.34 last year and $1.42 in 2006.

Now given the strong recovery momentum which is unlikely to die down in the next several weeks, Stats appears poised to test these highs and once the $1.36-44 area which contains key quarterly resistances since 2001 is taken out, the next level will be $1.61-64. Support is at $1.12-16.

STATS

0034 GMT [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: UBS upgrades STATS ChipPAC (S24.SG) to Buy from Neutral, target to S$1.60 from S$1.05 as company "is an attractive margin recovery story and we think current restructuring can deliver a doubling in earnings in FY07"; ups FY07 EPS forecast 58% to US$0.071, though advises caution on 4Q06 given weaker 3Q outturn. Notes Carlyle Group bid for ASE but doesn''t view STATS as takeover target "as it does not have the right characteristics to be attractive to a private-equity buyer" - it''s indebted, its margins are below peers, it''s considered high risk business and it only recently started to generate free cash flow. Shares off 4% at S$1.19 yesterday.(JEM)

Happy liao. Bought @ 1.04 in Aug 06, it is really a long wait but worth waiting.
