Withdraw CPF Medisave Savings above MMS by Dec 15 2015

For those above 55 years old, here is the last chance for you to withdraw your Medisave Account Savings above the current MMS (ie $43,500). You must submit your applications to the Board by Dec 15 2015. However, because CPF has a special method of refunding balances in MA/SA/OA, it will be better for you to first submit a request (email) to CPF to calculate the amount you need to withdraw such that your MA balance will be reduced to $43,500. Then send a formal request online or by post using the withdrawal form to request the withdrawal. CPF actually calculates interest on MA/SA/OA up to month of withdrawal, these will be refunded first, followed by other amounts. The formula is not disclosed at the website yet, oops, at least I cannot find, hahaha Oops, there is no formal announcement by CPF Board nor is above written on the website. However, some information are hidden in the withdrawal form, take a look at the form at the website.

Medishield Life vs Integrated Shield Plans

With the implementation of Medishield Life next month, would I still need my NTUC Enhanced Incomeshield Plan? Two weeks ago, I had a fall and was sent to SGH A&E by ambulance. Doctors identified a dislocation of my hand at the left shoulder and managed to fix it back for me. Also had a big “bualuku” on my forehead, haha, it is still there now, but subsided somewhat with blueblack mark still there. Last week, doctor found a small fracture at my arm joint location. I stayed at the observation ward for 1 night, was discharged next day noon, exactly 24 hours from admission. SGH submitted hospitalisation claim to NTUC, now waiting for NTUC to approve the claim. I guess I would be able to claim under NTUC Enhanced Incomeshield Plan (NEIP) for staying at least 24 hours in hospital. Should the claim fail, I would have to pay using my CPF Medisave account. If I can claim under NEIP, how would I benefit: I'm covered by a rider which gives me 100% coverage, ie...

CPF Life Plans: Basic or Standard?

Image
Assumptions: A lower monthly payout is not a major concern for you. You have max Full Retirement Sum (FRS) in your Retirement Account (RA). You still have more than 60k in OA/SA/MA. With or without dependents. When the CPF Life scheme was first started and my brother was required to make a choice, I advised him to opt for higher monthly payout as his income was/is low. He only has one child and I told him he need not worry about bequest to him as he should know how to take care of himself. At that time, I did not study the scheme in detail, only comparing monthly payouts and bequest amounts. Now I study the plans in detail. Under The Standard Plan: 1.  If I do not have dependents and should I die early after joining CPF Life, I do not mind donating my money under the Standard Plan to fellow Singaporeans in the CPF Life Pool since my beneficiaries will get less or nothing in bequest monies. 2.  However, should I not die early but inst...

Elliott Wave Theorist August 2015 PDF (Free)

Dear reader, With the market action during the last few weeks, many investors have been operating in panic mode; subscribers to Robert Prechter's Elliott Wave Theorist haven't. Why? Because they were prepared . Elliott Wave International prepared them for the 2007-2009 crisis, and they did it again. In fact, in the calm of Aug. 18, Bob wrote a sharp critique of the U.S. stock market in his newest Elliott Wave Theorist , in which he said to expect market "pandemonium." (His commentary was published the following day.) "as shown in this issue, time and price factors call for an immediate end to this dream state. When the alarm goes off and the dreamers awake, it will be pandemonium in the stock market . As the next few chart...

Watch Out! Adam Cheng “Ting Hai” Effect

Wow!  Hang Seng Index Futures dropped more than 700 points last night !  Will another stock market crash or crisis occur?   Why?  Watch the "Ting Hai" effect, the Adam Cheng stock market crash indicator is on!  And that coincided with my Stock Market Timing calculations! Read the news below: The Standard HK news on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 "If there's anything guaranteed to get television viewers on the edge of their seats at the moment, it has to be The Greed of Man. And it's back next week. The topical TV drama produced and aired by Television Broadcasts in 1992, whose lead character Ting Hai, played by Adam Cheng Siu-chow, pictured, made enormous profits short-selling Hang Seng Index futures, coincided with a slump of 20 percent in the index. That set the scene for Cheng's ominous tango with a bearish stock market in the two decades that followed, thus breeding the dreaded Adam Cheng Effect, suggesting every appearance of the actor on the s...

U.S. Investors Face a Giant, Historic Bubble

What you are about to read is highly contrary to the majority opinion on Wall Street ... Then again, Wall Street also missed: The 2007-2009 market meltdown, The bear market in gold, silver and oil over the past several years, The dot com bubble at the beginning of the millennium, and ... Believe it or not, almost every major market reversal in history. The following report is from three market analysts who forecast the major market reversals of 2000, 2007 and 2009 in stocks, in 2011 in precious metals, and just recently in oil and other commodities. As a result, their subscribers were prepared to position their portfolios to benefit -- no matter the market direction. Now these three same analysts have a warning about tech stocks that you need to hear, right now ... Suffice it to say that they think all the recent "not a bubble" talk is in fact a bunch of BULL (and we don't mean bull market ). See what they see, then you can prepare ...
