5-6% inflation

**yellowcoral** · 14-11-2007, 10:49 AM

i read ST ytday.
it's talking abt singapore can expect 5-6% inflations 1st half 2008.

my god, even Tbills, NTUC saving cannot fight 5-6%.
Will insurance rate increase to fight 5-6%?
even CPF will not make money with 3.5%. will will become of our retirement funds!!!

i think it's time to seriously consider shares, but risky...
:handsup:

Now it is a damn good time to buy, highly discounted. I buy until not enough cash liao but we are sitting on a paper lost of $120k. 10% discount to our portfollio. Technical Rebound detected.

Lost is still manageable. Not really alot. Always wipe out everything when "tsunami" comes.
10% off my total lor, simple calculation. I think recover some already, not looking too bad now.
Some contra, some pick up. Noon will be terrible again. More blood shed.

yellowcoral can't help thinking lautouzhi must be a very rich man.

120k lost is only 10%???????

i have a weak heart, stock is really not for ppl like me.
but i wanna try small one

Car investment meh.... its a depreciating asset lay...... haha unless you say u rent it out =p

**yellowcoral** · 21-11-2007, 06:14 PM

well, got car already, so it's either pay bank 2% interest or pay up all.
hmm... now stock keep falling n falling, when to go is also a problem.
if i quick enough, i think i would have lost 1k. so lucky!!

Invest your CPF funds lor. Do it before next April when they cap a cpf minimum.

A lot of companies have got good CPF investment funds, especially those China funds - I know of one, rose 300% in the last 3 years!

Oh, importantly, Try not to invest in those structured ones if u intend to buy a hse in the near future.. Make sure u can withdraw your $ when u need it

**yellowcoral** · 23-11-2007, 01:25 PM

hahaha.. my CPF balance? <$300 all invested already.
thanks.
