I have been observing the markets for the past 20+ years and it has never looked so bad....

All the warnings that people gave PxP about the excesses could really for the first time in post independence history come to roost.

Do not wait until the crash is staring in your face then you try to do something about it.

Think, stock market and the property market down 70%.

Will you still be smiling? I would because I have been prepared for a long time...

If it doesn't happen, thank your lucky stars... if it does... make sure you are not driven to killing yourself.......

well, when stock and property market are down 70%, the rich has something to smile abt, cos they are able to put their money there and wait for it to rise, then sell these commodities. So the rich is getting richer, thus the wealth gap is from here.

Is it time to invest in Sunshine Empire?
I heard that James Phang is better than Warren Buffet woh...

they won't smile because they own the expensive properties in Singapore... instead of having a net worth of 1 billion, they are now worth only $300million... poor things...

Those that borrowed money to buy the expensive properties, well sayonara to them...

Same same the stock market....

The scary part for the rest of us that do not owe money for properties and stocks (you do? poor thing) ... is stagflation...

That is when everything is getting more and more expensive... think food and energy, commodities,... not assets like properties and stocks... and your salaries are not keeping up or the government cut your salaries again, like last time..

They will more than definitely cut CPF like last time...

it is time to quit your private sector job and join the civil service...

If what I read from SB is true, Sunshine Empire works like a Carlos Ponzi scheme.

A ponzi scheme is an investment scheme where older investors in the scheme are paid by the new investors in the scheme.

The operators of the scheme will then "take the money and run" leaving the investors holding the bag.

If the company starts to drag payment to the investors, it could be a sign of trouble.

Oh yeah, does the CPF also work like this?

hehehe… if what you are implying is true…. hehehe it will be too tragic to cry about it and we can only laugh…

20,000 Singaporeans invested SGD12k each, not peanuts.

Wonder from which faction the majority of the investors come from? The 66.6% group or the 33.4% group?

If there is a need for a international bailout of the banks and other financial institutions, will you as a Singaporean approve?

hahaha I know that as Singaporeans, we have no say... the despots do what they like and treat us like coolies... but if you have a say, would you approve?

Will you approve of rescuing foreigners? The banks in Singapore are not affected, not much anyway, but if the financial system of the world wobbles, Singapore will probably suffer greatly.

If you are willing, how much will you be willing to part with?

Civil service might not be just as bright as you thought it is....

Unless you're commanding some high ranking post...?

I am talking about survival… civil service is no longer iron rice bowl but still, the bowl is less fragile than pte.

You know what they say... hope for de best... be prepared for de worst... of course nobody wants anything serious to happen... but, the situation looks bad and it is better to prepare for the worst...

you know... talking about marrying lao wais.... I recommend that you find one from the Scandinavian countries... you, as the wife of a citizen... if you don't work, the gahmen pays you a monthly allowance and if you have kids, your kids get a monthly allowance...

If Singapore does not waste its money in foreign investments and paying ministers that kind of money... I am sure this country can do that too... but... *sigh*
