Trading a Business?

Have you ever think of “ Trading as a Business ”? The idea of this book is quite good, a successful businesses generate more cash than it consumes, so do the trading. Chinese say, In every crisis, there's an opportunity ! However, the very first thing is having a trading plan – the strategies to make money, minimize the risk and increase profit! “No one plan to fail, but fail to Plan!” Always start with small amount, practice make perfect. Don't afraid to make mistake, as every mistake will give new experience. The experience gain will enhance in your future plan. Most important is admit the mistake done, if you buy a stock, but the share price go down, cut lost first! Stop investing if you are in doubt where's the direction now!

Plantation Stock

I like the Palm Oil farm, it's the gift from Mother Nature - the resource which can grow and sell with high price. It can make into cooking oil, margarine and various oleochemicals. Malaysia having the world's largest plantation company - SIME Darby, which produce 5% of global production. Beside, there are many others small to medium size plantation company listed at Bursa as well. A friend ask, "Do you buy Plantation Shares?" I say, "Yes" Then he ask again, "Do you plan to sell it, as it's almost at the high price now?", I say, "No, because I plan to keep it for long term." Yes, the world's economy may not stable right now, many news from Europe, especially about the financial crisis. But, who care... let say, today you own a Plantation Company that produce very good income for you, do you sell the farm today because worry about tomorrow's news? You can check the Palm Oil's price at this web:  http://www.palmoilh

As of year end closing, we have cash of RM3,554.16 after including the cash dividend and deducted the cost pay for Pavreit.
