巴比倫首富‧7招教你做有錢人


2010-01-25 11:54

要致富,先要從基礎的理財智慧著手。《巴比倫巨富――給你的12黃金定律》一書的故事背景為古代的巴比倫,透過巨富傳授脫貧之道,讓讀者看故事學理財。

故事講述巴比倫的國王發現,只有少數懂得如何獲取財富的人壟斷了財富,而一般國民都缺乏有關知識。為了令巴比倫成為世上最富裕的城市,國王找來巴比倫最富有的人阿卡特,向100位老師傳授7個致富方法,再讓那些老師把知識進一步傳授給其他人。

陳先生是經常在外跑動的高級執行人員,除了用電話來溝通之外,他也大量使用短訊。現在他使用BlackBerry®方案,不用一直去找地方上網來回答電郵,更不用塞車趕回公司處理一大堆郵件。

方法1:持續儲蓄

阿卡特指出,任何人只要持續地將收入的十分之一用作儲蓄,並作出聰明的投資,就肯定可以創造出一筆可觀的資產。

不過,阿卡特亦指出:“把儲起的資金投資在自己不熟悉的事情上,或強行作出不賺錢的投資,又或過份自信於自己的粗淺經驗,黃金就會棄人遠去。”

方法2:勿亂花費

阿卡特說:“不要把‘必要花費’和‘慾望’混為一每個人都有很多收入無法滿足的慾望,因此我們需要仔細想一想日常生活習慣中,有哪些自以為是理所當然的花費其實是可以減省的,從而把支出控制在收入的十分之九之內。

方法3:投資賺錢

阿卡特認為,“擁有一個裝滿黃金的錢包會讓人愉快,但它不會替你賺錢。”

讓儲起來的錢為自己賺錢,才可以建立真正的財富。

方法4:安全投資

“每個擁有黃金的人,總會被眾多機會所誘惑,而這些機會看起來都似乎會讓人賺大錢。”

阿卡特認為,明智投資的第一原則就是安全,確保在安全的情況下如期收回所投資的財富,並要在能夠獲得合理利潤的情況下投資。

方法5:購買房子

阿卡特建議擁有財富的人購買自己的房子,因為擁有房子可大大減低租金開銷,讓收入用在享受生活和滿足慾望上。

方法6:未雨綢繆

人人都應該在賺錢能力逐漸減少前,準備好一些足以備用多年的投資或存款,為日後不再年輕,或因離世而無法再照顧家人作好準備。

阿卡特說:“有些人可能會購買房屋和土地……當你出租或變賣,所得的就可以達到確保未來收入這目的。”

阿卡特又預期,有朝一日有智慧的人會想出一套保障死者家屬的計劃,人們會定期支付一筆小額款項,而這些錢會累積成一筆可觀的金額給申請人家屬。相信阿卡特所指的,就是保險這現代發明。

方法7:提昇技能

阿卡特表示:“隨著智慧的增長,我們賺得更多。一個人如果對於自己的工作精益求精,他自然會得到豐富的回報。”

要擺脫貧窮的最後一個方法,就是培養自己的能力,令自己變得更有智慧及更有技能。

1st trading day in 2010 already announce the change of the Chairman.. the new 1 look like got some background.. haha.. good sign for SCOMIMR?

Last few days spent some time to understand the company. Although generally she is almost in the same field as SEALINK but what they actually doing is mainly in the logistic of the coal. the business is also more in Indonesia and Singapore, and few from SME.

The business profit are mainly contributed from the logistic that they are doing as above and only few ten % are from offshose support. I'm refering to their latest Q report for this info.

For seen the company is really taking some action to overcome the bad economy that they are undergoing last year and the year before, and this results with better profit even revenue reduced slightly. thay had improve their operation cost and this use to cover their lower profit in offshose section.

Atleast the company is doing something, this increase some of my confident onto this company.

Cash on hand is <>140M, don't think is a big deal for the time being. As long as the company is making profit. Anyway.. will KIV this.

For the business, offshoes support should recover anyway just the metter of time and for the logistic section, i have no idea on it.. haha.. must read more... This company mainly is doing logistic business around SE Asia, Dubai effect will not be that big anyway, so still in save region.

On top of this the PE is only 5.++ at the time i bot in with the share price ~0.40. i think this is save enough for this stock. Long terms wise it should be a good sign and potential. OK.. this is all for the 1st posting in 2010.. Wishing everybody outthere who invest in stock have a great great earning in 2010!! cheer!!
