A lil part of life .. ... ...

I've always been competitive and have always let some peer pressure push me along as I dwell into my career and personal goals.  From the outside looking in, one will see that I've achieve a lot. Moving from being a top boy of a little known school in Malaysia, to getting full scholarship to study at a top university in the UK before starting a career in Malaysia followed by a career in the US.  Little do people know the internal struggles I've been fighting. I'm fully appreciative and proud of my achievements. BUT, there's always some buts in life, 10 years into my professional career, I've noticed many of my peers become Directors of big organization. Because I've been bounded by one organization and despite the many opportunity within, I've moved from being an engineer to an operations manager then to a sales rep. I am far from being a Director, maybe assistant Director is of closer reach.  A title may only be a title but it is also one that is of hig...

This week has been a good week up to now:  I executed my new strategy:  1) When you see a major spike or dip post earnings AH, go the reverse and sell PH  My argument is that it takes an overnight to subdue to shock so you are in to capture to 1-2%.  This worked for every stock I've tested it on:  1) Shopify  2) Starbucks  3) Apache  4) Microsoft  5) Netflix  - All of which worked excellently. Then I decided to deviate after the strategy failed with AMD. I used the same strategy and it backfired. AMD continued spiking post 10% AH rise. I had to cut loss, so instead of 2% gain that I was going for, I ended up losing 6% the next day.  This threw a curveball at me. I decided I will bet on the market on big tech earnings. I decided since Microsoft and Netflix dropped despite amazing earnings, I will use the same logic.  Of course, it backfired, I am now staring at a 5-7% loss across Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook.  So the ulti...

There are multiple ways of investment and managing your fund. I am no fund expert nor am I trained on any certified level. The levers I know are as following: 1) Real estate - rental income 2) Stocks & ETFs - company, industry dependent 3) Bitcoin - future potential of a decentralized currency To dive deeper - Real estate  You don't have real rental income until you actually own one, and rent one out. Essentially, you need to have 2 properties to start this. Staying in one then selling it for another better place is not passive income. In prime location and prime cities, it is no longer easy to find rents that will match, let alone exceed your mortgage payments. That said, unless you have a high downpayment (20-30%), paying some to top off your rental income is highly possible. Stocks & ETFs Fortunately and unfortunately, this is the most volatile time but also the most exciting time. There is a lot to gain, and also a lot to lose. I've lost the most he...
