What does “Thomas the Coach” Think?

At INVESTFAIR'08, I was invited to attend a seminar “Breaking the Millionaire Code” by Mr Thomas Mathew. I was told he will also touch on current market outlook and alternative investments. So I signed up for it since it is free. I've attended a seminar by Mr Thomas about 3 years ago and he is a very entertaining and inspiring speaker.

So yesterday morning, I attended the seminar. As usual, it was an entertaining session as he likes to joke. Most of the videos he showed I've seen last time and explains very well the message he tried to put across.

Some interesting points worth sharing here are:

4 Ways to be a Millionaire:

Business, Properties, Internet Marketing & Investment.
One more – Capture Mas Selamat!

Is it time to enter the Stock Market? Points to consider:

  1. Is there Global Liquidity? Looks like funds are getting out
  2. What is the Interest Rate Trend? US$ will be affected
  3. Valuation of the Market? Cheap might get cheaper
  4. Economic Indicator – looks bad?
  5. Risk Premium – how much risk are you taking?

Possible financial market tsunami, so capital preservation is key!

Hmm, he shared the same view as me. Wah, real or not! I mean he also talked about The Joseph Cycle and that the forecast had been very accurate so far!

What are the Alternative Investments?

  1. Gold – he thinks war is likely to breakout and gold price is likely to shoot up to US$1,500. He recently bought gold when price went below US$800.
  2. Some hedge funds which I don't qualify, meant for high network individuals, like SHK Fund, Man Fund which have low correlation with equities.
  3. Avoid infrastructure funds, high risk.
  4. Stay invested despite market shock, but in the right markets.

CPF@55 Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer!

CPF@55  Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer! Do you know that  CPF@55  policy can help you get richer with a bigger SA (Special Account Balance) after 55? Yes, provided your are rich with a big OA (Ordinary Account Balance) and SA which exceeds the FRS (Full Retirement Sum).  Assuming you have $240k (SA), $160k (OA) and FRS is $200k, this is how you can become richer after 55: 1.  2 weeks before your 55th birthday, buy a stable Unit Trust Bond Fund with $200k SA under CPFIS/SA investment scheme (minimum $40k SA must be maintained) 2.  On your 55th birthday, CPFB will transfer $40k (SA) and $160k (OA) to your RA (Retirement Account) to form $200k FRS. 3.  Next day, sell your CPFIS/SA investment of $200k, this will be returned to your SA. 4.  You now have $200k (SA) and $0 (OA) after RA is created! What happens on your 55th birthday if you did not do the hack (ie. step 1&3) above?  CPFB will transfer $200k (SA) to RA.  So after 55, you will have $40k (SA) a

LIFE@55 - What CPFB Don't Tell You!

CPFB started to talk about Risk Pooling only in April 2019 after being queried at Parliament. They have never talked about Risk Pooling since CPF Life was introduced, not even in any Life@55 Talks! Do you know are there other important information CPFB is still not telling you at Life@55 or @facebook? In the past (eg 2014), members have to decide/choose their CPF Life Plan (ie Standard vs Basic) at 55 and part-CPF Life annuity premiums would be deducted from their Retirement Account (RA) for transfer to the CPF Life Pool. Only at 65 when monthly payout starts will the reminder of the CPF Life annuity premiums be transferred from RA to CPF Life Pool. For members turning 55 after July 2015, they only need to choose their CPF Life Plan (ie Standard, Basic or Escalating Plan) if they decide to start payout at 65 or delay till 70. Most members will choose their CPF Life Plan based on guidelines provided by CPFB as follows: Choose Standard Plan if you want more monie

NTUC Fairprice Shares pays 5% dividend!

Yesterday I received the NTUC Fairprice Co-operative's dividend and rebate statement for financial year ended March 31, 2008. I was surprised to receive so much money for this investment! I was holding more shares than I thought. I received 5% dividend and 4% in rebate, which had already been credited to my bank account on September 5, 2008. Too bad, that's the maximum each member can hold. Another very good Capital Protected Dividend Stock to own! Ntuc Income Share Pays 9% Dividend for 2009, credited June 3 2010
