Recently, I went to a couple of property launch and I kept hearing the agents comparing their areas with the west.
Some examples:
1. I went to Siglap V and the agent kept mentioning Siglap is the Holland Village of the East.
2. Then today, I went to Waterbank Dakota and sue to the proximity of the Old Airport Market, he called Dakota the Tiong Bahru of the East.
Still think the west is better… But then again, maybe I’m biased (since I’ve been staying this area for the entire life so far)…

I just scalped using AAPL (Apple Inc) options yesterday and made a quick profits during the iPad announcement.
As a new iPhone user, I must say this blog post is inevitable and let me share more with you.
After all, yesterday night (my Singapore time) is THE DAY they announced their new tablet computer, the iPad, that’s supposed to take the world by storm. Just like you, I’m excited by all the hype and the buzz.
But hype alone does not necessarily make for a great investment. Should you be buying Apple stock before the company sells the first iPad?
My take is as follows:
Because I would normally warn mid-to-long term investors away from buying any stocks when new products are being announced.
After all, they are often unproven and even in Apple’s case there are no guarantees that the iPad is going to be a winner. Except for this name: Steve Jobs.
Since he’s returned to Apple more than a decade ago, he’s the only CEO on the planet with a vision and a golden touch, recently named the CEO of the Decade by Fortune magazine.
His previous visions had created the iPod, iMac, and iPhone – the key drivers in Apple’s $12 billion first-quarter revenue.
His newest stroke of genius will follow in their footsteps. The reason is simple: Job’s iPad is about to take the world by storm and double your money along the way.
If you think Apple’s iMac, iPod, and iPhones were revolutionary products, you haven’t seen anything yet: Apple’s iPad is going to deliver a profit explosion the likes of which the computer world has never seen before with this new Apple tablet computer – large iPod-like touch screen, full color e-book reader that will definitely hit the sales of Kindle all in this four-in-one convergence device (Internet, TV, music and e-book reader).

I just saw read this article from MSN Money and thought that this is a good (or should I say bad) article to share with everyone.
Anyway, there are 10 cases where the rich and
famous got caught in bad financial decisions.

If you stay for the FOMC announcement 6 hours back, you would have see the long spikes in the price charts. After FED announce that they will slow the pace of treasuries purchases at 2.15pm ET, offering some positive news for USD, the USD rose against major rivals (GBP, EUR, AUD & JPY).
If you look back at the charts at the GMT18:00 (which is 2am this morning, SIN/MY time), the candles are almost 100-pips (for USD/JPY and AUD/USD), 110-pips (for EUR/USD) and 125-pips (for GBP/USD) and in an hourly candle. Even GBP/JPY is also greatly affected with a price volatility of 220-pips in that one hour.
WHAT TO TAKE NOTE:
Similar with all major economic releases, there is always significant price volatility with this FOMC announcement. Currency spreads will typically widen just before the release and will remain wide for a couple minutes after.
The spreads widen signficantly and if you are trading with a pending order, do not anticipate being filled at your entry price. You will be filled at the prevailing market price after the release, which could be significantly different from your desired price of your entry order.

I had a group of African (mainly from Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana) early this year coming down to Singapore to learn Forex trading from me. They may be back in Africa now but our friendship is definitely still there.
Earlier this morning (perhaps their night time), one of the graduates emailed me an inspirational speech by an acclaimed Liberian activist Kimmie Weeks spreading the message of hope for ending poverty at Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB).
I hope we all learn something from the message this man is trying to spread. If each of us do a little bit more, together we (with those who are watching this) can really make a big big difference. And one day, we might just see a difficult possibility become a reality!
