Word of Wisdom:How to show and earn respect

Posted by financialplanner8 on July 18, 2008

The words you speak today should be soft and tender..for tomorrow you may have to eat them. By showing respect for others and listening, we can increase our own ability to think creatively,clearly and effectively.

When you catch yourself needing to be right or needing to be in control, imagine that there is a big sign over your head telling the world what a fool you are. You can’t see it but the rest of the world can. Stubbornness and anger can rob you of other’s  respect and when you lose respect you lose your integrity as well.

It is never too late to change for better tomorrow… One may have lost the most valuable thing in life and never repeat the same mistake…

Words of Wisdom-Negative attitute

Posted by financialplanner8 on June 30, 2008

A man is but a product of his thoughts what he thinks that he becomes.

Always look at what you have left.Not look at what you have lost.Our greatest glory is not in failing but in rising every time we fall. I guess we have to learn to turn a difficult past into a dynamic future.

Is success something you have to be certain age to achieve? NOT necessarily. Does success of this type come with a price tag?YES. By clarifying what you want, don’t waste time and even more important not to continue end up in doing the wrong thing over and over again!

You might even find with careful evaluation and deep thought that what YOU have right now (failure, success, debts, happiness,sorrow & etc) is what you really want and that is why it exists for you.

If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn’t follow. I’d be at the bottom to catch them when they fall, however we often mistaken as naggy and troublesome.

That’s all for now till later cheers.

WHAT IS NEVER MENTIONED IN Mainstream Media like NST/TheStar/Utusan/BH are these facts….

Posted by financialplanner8 on June 22, 2008

Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia ..

For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!!

Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax , driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!

For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in Singapore Dollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oil exporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?

In economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in M’sia is much cheaper than durian in Japan!! Of course-lah, Japan is not durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thailand durian make more sense!!

For Indonesia we might say is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income!

Malaysia VS USA Dollar to Dollar

Posted by financialplanner8 on June 19, 2008

Eat Till You Drop!

Dear Malaysians,

I just got back from the States and this is what I bought and would like to share with my fellow Malaysians. I decided to take a snap shot and bring it back.The above pictures are Honey Turkey Ham, Cheese Curls,Hotdog and DishLiquid. Consume until you drop death!!

I am sure you can see the price is clearly printed on the product. I almost went crazy when I saw the price. A box of compact Turkey Ham which cost only $2.99, hotdog at $1.99 , Cheese Curls at $0.79 and dish liquid $0.99!! This is madness. Let’s compare dollar to dollar.

Yes their petrol there is expensive but the consumer goods are cheap.The people there can survive with a salary of $400 a week but we cannot survive even draw a salary of RM3000 .Why can’t we do the same especially for locally produced/manufactured goods such as cooking oil, net exporter for petroleum and we are charged through our nose!They are killing us one by one, day by day…

Tolls…petrol..vegetables..poultry…cili padi…rice…flour

Do something about your savings otherwise you will never beat the inflation.

Posted by financialplanner8 on June 17, 2008

The KLCI fell in tandem with lower
regional markets to the week’s
intraday low of 1,221.6 points on
Thursday. The index closed at
1,229.3 points to register a loss of
1.5% for the week.
• Regional markets fell on continued
worries over rising inflationary
pressures and expectations that U.S.
interest rates may be raised later this
year to curb inflation.
• The market is anticipated to move in
tandem with overseas markets as
investors monitor the outlook for
economic growth and interest rate

STOCKMARKET COMMENTARY
The KLCI fell in tandem with regional
markets to the week’s intraday low of
1,221.6 points on Thursday. However,
selected buying of blue chips helped the
KLCI to close at 1,229.3 points to
register a loss of 1.5% for the week.
Average daily trading volume during the
week fell to 0.4 billion units from 0.5
billion units while average trading value
decreased to RM1.2 billion from RM1.5
billion in the preceding week.
On Wall Street, share prices closed
slightly firmer following the pull-back in
oil prices from record highs and the
rebound in the U.S. dollar against major
currencies. Sentiment was also
supported by news of the 1% month-on month
growth in U.S. retail sales for
May versus a 0.4% increase in April due
to a rebound in automobile sales. The
Dow closed 0.8% higher for the week at
12,307 points. However, the Nasdaq was
down 0.8% at 2,445 points due to losses
in selected technology stocks.

Inflation Threat to poor Malaysians

Posted by financialplanner8 on June 12, 2008

This is worrisome. We’re in the midst of a macroeconomic adjustment by the government which hasn’t been able to bring down inflation. Many developing countries were imperilled by soaring consumer price inflation. Particularly vulnerable were economies that attracted big private debt inflows, which triggered a rapid expansion of domestic credit, stoking inflationary pressures. These price increases posed a disproportionate threat to poor people in emerging markets because food and energy costs represented a larger part of a consumer’s spending. Food, Petrol, Tolls..outrages.

After all, inflation is caused by oil prices, isn’t it? And rising energy costs have pushed prices higher in recent years. And some people, opps! I mean many people take major advantage on this.

Last night I bought 2 loaf of bread for whooping RM7.00!!! Come on! what the heck! Gardenia Whole Meal RM3.00 and Gardenia Raisin Oatmeal for RM4.00 Not so much for myself but for family. Normal Gardenia RM3.00 consume 2 loaf a week =RM6.00 x 4weeks=RM24.00 per month x 12= RM288.00

I am considering getting a bread maker and I can make as many loaf as I like. Long term investment ha!
