INVESTFAIR '08 – End of Final Day 2!

Yesterday was the final day 2 of INVESTFAIR '08. I was there very early to ensure I get a chair to seat to listen to Ray Baros. Wow, it was full house again! For traders, what determines success? - winning psychology (60%), effective money management (30%) and written trading plan with edge (10%). But the single most important factor 95% of traders fail is because of unrealistic or unreasonable expectations, ie expectations that they can make high returns trading. I guess this is very much influenced by the newspaper advertisements and the talks of profits claimed by most trading courses! Ray said if Warren Buffet can only achieve 27%, don't expect too high!

As usual, I liked the panel discussion on “Market Focus for the Last Lap of 2008”, this time a different panel. Somehow I liked Mr. Ray Baros' views compared to the rest, I just feel they are not so independent in their outlook, you know what I mean - the paid analyst or journalist or with business interest! So we must do our own homework! By the way, Mr Ray is hedge fund manager, trader, etc, multi-hats guy! His view is the bear is here to stay until 2012.

I liked the talk by Mr Robert Miles on Warren Buffet Part 2. It was full house again and I've to sit on the floor again! This time I already heard about his closing joke, anyway I still laugh!

I look forward to another INVESTFAIR in 2009!

How to Stop SA to RA Transfer at 55!

How to Stop SA to RA Transfer at 55! Your monies in CPF Special Account now earns 4% pa while your OA only earns 2.5%. But CPFB will empty your CPF SA into RA at 55. How can you stop this auto transfer of all monies in SA to RA at 55? Yes, you can do it because there is a big loophole created by CPFB policy makers. If you know the loophole and how to “protect” your SA funds (except 40k) from being automatically transferred to RA on your 55 th birthday, you can continue to earn higher interest of 4% on SA balances. Do I need to explain why having a higher balance in SA is better than a higher balance in OA after 55? One obvious benefit is you are “guaranteed” of a higher cash inflow from the 4% pa interest on SA which you can either withdraw every year or leave it in SA to compound and snowball into a bigger retirement fund. So what is the loophole and how can you “protect” or stop CPFB from transferring all your SA monies into RA? Click here to learn ho...
