To nibble some now at the best price you can get or to wait for the engines to ignite first then you chase, this one, will depend
on your risk tolerance and investment philosophy.

Young people have this perception that if you buy a property in Spore " sure make money one" becoz property prices will always go higher.
True for only some properties, not all. Plus if you bought at the peak of a property cycle, you must have holding power to ride the downside
of the property cycle until your property is back up at the peak. And to do this, your property must be a freehold or a 999-yr leasehold and
not a very old 99-yr leasehold property with only 30 years of lease remaining. Your property must also be in a good location, on a high floor
(if it is an apartment), has a good facing away from the afternoon sun and if it comes with a good view is an added selling point.  Proximity
to MRT stations and bus stops and shops  and amenities are very important be it for self occupation or for rental income. If you go to a new
property launch showroom, you will find 99-yr leasehold condos selling at high 2k psf to more than 3k psf. Meaning a small unit consisting
of only 1000 sq ft will cost $2.5m to $3.5m. If you pay that type of price and you hope to resell your property after 20 to 30 yrs, you will need
to find an even greater fool who is willing to pay 3k to 4k psf for your property. If you can' t find such a greater fool, then you are that greater
fool when you bought your property from the developer.

The whole world now get to see what type of people make up the Iranian leadership.
They kena whacked until Beh Jin Chu leow but still so yaya and anus still so stubborn can spout nonsense some more.
So can you imagine what will happen if Iran has the most powerful military in the world, if Iran has nuclear weapons and
ICBMs and aircraft carriers and US and Israel are non-nuclear states? Even though they are losing and their air force,
navy and military infrastructure have been reduced to less than 10%, yet they still talk like that and dictate terms as if
they are the stronger country with the stronger military. Imagine is Iran is really the stronger country with the more powerful
military than US and Israel combined, what will Iran do ? Probably nuke both the US and Israel out of existence and wipe
them off the face of this planet. That' s why the biggest guns must always be in the hands of the good guys. Evil must never
triumph over good. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. So if nobody does anything about Iran' s
quest to develop nuclear weapons, once they have it, they will use it on Israel. And not use just one. But as many as is
necessary to cover the whole of Israel. And perhaps they will also use it on Saudi Arabia. Why ? Becoz for many decades
now. Iran and Saudi have never been on good terms. Tension between the two states is an ongoing afffair. Iran wants to
be the leader and the most powerful nation in the Middle East. She sees Saudi Arabia as the main obstacle to her being
the  king of the Middle East.

Iranian leaders are not talking with their mouths.
They are talking with their anus.
Their latest proposal to US is:
1. End the war within 30 days.
2. Blockade to end immediately.
3. Iran to have control of Straits of Hormuz.
4. US forces to leave the Gulf region.
5. Nuclear issue to be discussed next time.
They talk like they have the stronger military and like they can crush US anytime like as if I Chia Mai niah.
Really shake head.
Its like a pig telling a tiger to kneel and say sorry and back off.
That' s why I said they are talking with their anus.
To make this type of proposal means you are insulting the US.

Bitcoin broke above US$80k.
Bitcoin usually leads the crypto market in a bull run.
Ethereum will follow. Currently at US$2373 per token. 
Update on Bitmine for the small pool of Bitmine investors here.
- Bitmine has recently crossed the 5m mark for the number of ETH tokens it holds.
- Bitmine' s goal is to reach 6m ETH tokens.
- Bitmine' s stock price is directly pegged to the price of ETH.
- Bitmine' s price rises and falls with ETH. The co-relation is direct and immediate.
- So far, ETH price has remained at the US$2100 to US$2300 range.
- Bitmine doesnt want the price of ETH to rocket just yet. Why ar ? Very simple. Becoz Bitmine is still accumulating ETH tokens.
- At the current rate of accumulation, Bitmine is expected to reach 6m ETH tokens within 10 weeks to 15 weeks. After that, Bitmine
will want the price of ETH to blast off. Becoz when ETH price flies, Bitmine' s share price will fly even higher.
-How can Bitmine cause  the price of ETH to blast off ? From Day 1, Bitmine has been accumulating ETH tokens not by buying at an
exchange. They cant do  that. It will absolutely cause the price to fly to the Moon. Which will then make it very expensive for them to
keep buying to reach 6m  ETH tokens. It is like shooting youself in the foot.
-So during this accumulation phase, Bitmine has been aggressively buying ETH from  sellers over the counter in privately arranged
deals. The equivalent of our " married deals" when big lots in one trade is transacted  between a willing seller and a willing buyer.  A
married deal has no effect on the BUY and SELL queues in the order books of an  exchange.
-After Bitmine has reached their 6m accumulation target, what she can do is to buy more ETH tokens at an exchange  which will send
the price to the Moon. When the price of ETH rises, so will the value of the 6m ETHs Bitmine has on her balance  sheet. This will cause
the NAV of Bitmine to explode to the upside. With that, the share price of Bitmine will go parabolic. Its like  a self-fulfilling prophesy. But
who cares whether self-fulfilling or due to market forces so long as Bitmine shares fly to the Moon.
You have read my story. Now go do your own due diligence. Does the self-fulfilling strategy make sense? Will it work?
Obviously, Cathie Woods of ARK investment, Blackrock, Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase all think it will work. That' s why they are in
on this one and they are in BIG.
Bitmine has been trading at between $20 to $24.
A few months back she was trading at $17 to $20 but those days are gone.
If you think the above strategy will work and you wish to particpate, you need to get your boarding pass  during the remaining period of
the accumulation phase. Once it ends and if what investors think will happen comes to pass, the  price of Bitmine will start to move and
probably go ballistic. If you want to participate, you can either get in early and get your    boarding pass at the current trading range OR
if you prefer to wait for confirmation that this space shuttle is taking off by waiting  for its engines to ignite first and then you pay more for
your boarding pass, also can lah. To each his own.
Not financial advice  and not a suggestion to buy or dont buy. Just sharing what I have been watching and hearing on Youtube.

For those of you who have difficulty understanding what I mean when I said the ability to scale up will enable you to become
wealthy much, much faster than an investor with a smaller capital and hence does not have the ability to scale up, consider
the illustration below.
If you have 100k to invest and you make 10% each time you invest, you make 10k.
If you reinvest all your profits and you continue to make 10% each time you invest, after 8 rounds of investing and making
10% each time, you would have doubled your money to $214,358. And you need to repeat this performance 25 consecutive
times, ie. reinvest all your profits and make 10% each time, to reach $1,083,470. 
But if you are a very wealthy person and you have $100M to invest, you only need to make 1% and do it only once. And you
would have made $1M. 
Depending on our income, lifestyle and family commitments, it may take 25 years to 35 years of work and investment to accumulate
$1M in cash. But once you have $1M in cash to invest, you wont need 25 to 35 years to make your 2nd million. Assuming you are one
of the better investors/traders, it may take you 4 to 6 years to make your 2nd million. When you are there, ie. with a war chest of $2M,
you will find that the ability to scale up will empower you to make your 3rd million within a shorter time than it took to make your 2nd 
million. That' s the beauty and sheer power  of scale. But the hardest part, as always, is getting your 1st million. Some of us are already
there. Some  are getting there. And some will not get there. That' s the way it is. Yes, life is unfair. Get used to it. Quote unquote Bill Gates.

Why I prayed for prize money to be won by 20 people worth $500k each.
Becoz $500k properly invested can give one a decent monthly income.
Let me use one illustration...
$500k can buy 202,400 Ascendas shares at $2.47 per share.
At 15 cts dividends per share, that' s an annual income of $30,360.
Or $2530 per month. This is on top of your income from your day job.
Or if you do your homework to invest your $500k into a REIT which pays 7% dividends,
you will have an annual dividend income of $35,000. Or $2916 per month. On top of your
salary from your day job.

From my recollection, the highest Group 1 Prize money ever won by 1 single winner was.....
.
.
Instead of one person winning $10m, I prayed for 20 people to each win $500,000.
Instead of the prize money making a positive impact on the life of just one person, it is, to me, a better outcome
if the same  prize money can make a positive impact on the lives of 20 people and their families. And I prayed too
that I will be one of  those 20 people to be blessed. 
This afternoon, wifey and I were having a casual chat at a bus interchange whilst waiting for our bus to come.
She was talking about how people are investing hoping to achieve financial independence.
I remarked that reaching the 1st million is always the most difficult thing to do.
But once you reach it, making your 2nd...3rd...4th million and so on becomes a lot easier.
I have read the above many times said by different people at different times. So it must be true.
And it all has got something to do with the ability to scale up. Once you have a million to put to work,
you can roll your capital. You can scale up. And substantially increase your ability to win. Not only that.
Each trading cycle for you becomes substantially shorter as well. Becoz you have the ability to scale up,
you can keep averaging down to bring your cost down closer to the bottom. When your stock recovers, 
before long, the price will reach you. And surpass you. You get your window to get out if you want to. And
if you stay to ride the recovery higher, your profits will be significant.
Compared to another trader who bought  near the high but does not have a million to keep averaging down.
For him, he has to sit tight there and wait  long long for the rebound to reach where he is. Which is much higher
up. If the price eventually reaches him,  the time taken for him to have a window to get out is definitely much, much
longer than the first trader.
So yes,  size does matter. The size of your warchest, that is. The ability to scale up means when you win, your profits
are exponentially higher. Phenomenal is the more appropriate word actually to describe your profits. Which  explains
why after you have made your 1st million, you will find it relatively easier to make your 2nd and 3rd  and 4th million after
that. After you have made your 2nd million with great help from your 1st million, you will  have 2 million to put to work.
Which is why making your 3rd million becomes even easier than making your  2nd million.
Becoz of this, it is said that the rich becomes richer. Becoz the rich makes their money work for  them. Which makes  them
even richer. And with that, they can scale up even more to produce vast riches.  But the poor will always have to work for
their money. And becoz they live from hand to mouth and have  little or no savings, they are forever stuck in a situation
where they have to keep working for their money. 
Instead of the prize money making a positive impact on the life of just one person, it is, to me, a better outcome
if the same  prize money can make a positive impact on the lives of 20 people and their families. And I prayed too
