Credit Cards another “Source of Income”?


Wow! What a Paradigm Shift!

Some people are applying for credit cards to get rebates or “free money”. Rebates viewed as “discounts” on spending/expenses. Rebates viewed as “free money” or “source of income”?

Some people apply, then cancel, then re-apply for the credit cards to get application rebates, “free money” to spend. Some people know what to do to get the rebates without having to spend! Wow! Rebates as “source of income”?

I only learnt or fully understand this Paradigm Shift end of 2012 and decided I should also have a share of this “Pie”! But I only qualify for secured credit cards, so at a disadvantage, cannot benefit from all of these.

Just when I thought I could benefit from these, the bank decided to cut off/back the rebates! From 1 April 2013, no more rebates for payment via NETS! Rebates for charges against the Mastercard will be reduced to 1%, at a lower cap of $200 per mth. Yes, I'm referring to the Standard Chartered Xtrasaver Account which comes with a Debit Card (Mastercard). So March 2013, last chance to get the maximum rebate of $300 per mth, which includes $15 for NETs payment. I'm going to max it, then close the account when it hit 6mths. Many people are talking about it and planning to close the account after March 31 2013.

I cannot share how Credit Cards or rebates are viewed as “Source of Income” as the Bank might slowly close all those “loopholes”. But next month, I might share how I max the rebate with Xtrasaver. Even without the Xtrasaver Account, there are other means to get that other “Source of Income” or “Source of Pocket Money”! I'm waiting for my cards lor!

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

Fengshui Forecast was Spot On Again!

Fengshui Forecast for August 2008 Stock Market was spot on again! STI had a major correction of more than 10%, dropping from 2906 on August 1 to 2574 on September 5. Too bad, I was not ready to short sell this bear market. But I felt very happy that I've exited the market before this crash. Thanks for the Fengshui Forecast! I prefer to simply wait on the sidelines, with my cash holdings earning interest from the bank or money market funds. This is a bear market! Capital Preservation is Key! Cash is King! Survival first, make money afterwards! Patience will be rewarded when the Time is Right! "Mr Market has never failed to recover from every setback. But not so for individual stocks!”

Stock Trader's Almanac 2009

After I started working, I was always at MPH or Times Bookshops on weekends, reading books to upgrade myself. With internet, I no longer do that except when I cannot find the information I want. Recently, I started visiting the bookshops again. I went to Kinokuniya this time as it has a wider range of books and uncontrolled (ie not shrink wrapped). I found the Stock Trader's Almanac 2008 and read it. I was disappointed as I thought I can find things mentioned in Amfraser's STI Forecast or useful information for the rest of 2008. A very expensive book costing S$70+, but I read it free! Ha ha, times are bad, many people do that at the bookshops! When the Stock Trader's Almanac 2009 is out, you can see me at Kinokuniya again!
