Rotten is worst than...

Is market down scary? No at all, it's more scary if the company become rotten. The "rotten" company is the one making loses year after year with sign of going bankrupt soon. In my earlier year of investment, I like to buy this kind of company, because of it's low price, thought can buy more with less money. Later I noticed what's the point to buy this kind of "rotten" company as the share price keep on lower and lower and is unable to recover when market up again. Usually the rotten is very hard to cue. From past experience, 10 out of 9 times, all these "rotten" company will turn bankrupt, so why invest in these type of company since there are so many others out there doing better? (Recently, another S company turn rotten and the share price drop from 70 cent to 18 cent now) Market crash is not a problem provided you invest in quality stock. We know in long run, the economy will grow and big company with good management will always grow in

It's time to receive annual report again... I like the last page of report from Public Bank: Quote If a share holder of Public Bank had bought 1000 shares in Public Bank when it was listed in 1967, and assuming the share holder had subcribed to all right issues to date and had not sold any of the Public Bank's share, he would had in the end of 2009, 135,398 shares worth RM1,529,997 based on the share price of RM11.30 at the end of 2009. In addition, he would had received a total gross dividend of RM632,643 whilst only spent capital outlay of RM48,760 for rights issues. Unquote As of 17 Sep 2010, Public Bank share price worth RM12.70, let do some calculation here: 135,398 shares: RM1,719,554 Dividend: RM 726,643 Minus Right Issues RM48,760 So, total return is RM2,397,437 for 43 years, or RM55,754 per year. The conclusion, one need to invest in good company (shareholder friendly with growing business) and invest for long term will able to see the power of compound

Invest for future

Many think that they don't have any money, there's no point to investing. The truth, investing is the process of building wealth, you can start with any amount, $100, $200 or $500, the earlier the better. Do you know that what ever amount you invest per month for 7 years at 10% is the same amount you can withdraw per month for-ever without touching the principal? If you set aside $500 per month for 7 years, you can take $500 per month - forever. (as long as you able to get 10% annual return)  This is the way how to build stable monthly income!

Recently noticed a lost making investment product from my father, guess what -- Mutual Fund. Invested 12 years ago with principal of $4000, today the market value is worth $1512.
