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!!

Dubai in trouble??!!



  中新網11月27日電 中東阿聯酋迪拜出現債務危機,迪拜政府宣布重組旗下的主權投資公司迪拜世界,並尋求延遲6個月償還債款。

  據香港媒體報導,迪拜世界一旦無力還債,將成為自2001年阿根廷違約以來,全球最大主權基金違約事件。外界擔心可能觸發新一輪金融風暴。

  迪拜財政部前日宣布透過發債,從阿布扎比政府持有的兩家銀行籌集50億美元,但負債590億美元的迪拜世界未有受惠,財政部要求其債權人允許“暫停”償還債務,至少延長到明年5月30日。

  迪拜世界最大債權人是阿布扎比商業銀行和阿聯酋NBD PJSC,其它貸款人包括匯豐控股、巴克萊銀行、萊斯銀行、蘇格蘭皇家銀行和瑞信集團等。分析指匯控等銀行可能要為此撇帳。

  暫停償債行動將立即影響到迪拜世界旗下房地產子公司棕櫚島集團(Nakheel)一筆35億美元下月到期的伊斯蘭債券。

  迪拜的最高財政委員會主席發表聲明說,明白市場特別是債權人的關注,但迪拜政府必須採取果斷行動,處理迪拜世界的債務負擔,並強調幹預迪拜世界的行動經過深思熟慮。

  迪拜世界總負債達到接近600億美元,面臨破產危機。外界擔心迪拜的違約風險急升,評級機構大幅調低迪拜政府的相關資產評級,部份更降至垃圾評級。

Sealink 3rd Q results

*****

KUALA LUMPUR: SEALINK INTERNATIONAL BHD saw net profit for its third quarter (3QFY09) decline by 48% year-on-year to RM10.4 million from RM20 million.

Revenue fell to RM61.6 million from RM83.3 million for the same period.

According to the notes accompanying the announcement, the lower net profit was due to the timing of the sale of offshore support vessels (OSV).

On a cumulative basis, for 9MFY09, Sealink reported a net profit of RM41.8 million compared to RM50.2 million from the previous year’s corresponding period.

Going forward, Sealink is cautiously optimistic about the OSV industry but admitted that the road to recovery may be longer than expected.

“We believe that Petronas may announce the awards for OSV contracts in the near future. These awards would be timely for the group as it has several OSVs that will be delivered in the first half of 2010,” said Sealink. Also due next year are the group’s ship repair facilities that will contribute additional revenue.

*****The Edge


So Q results for Sealink not so good lol.. hold / sell?.. ppl always say market trader always behave like this: if price up they active trade stock, if price drop they invest for long term.. haha..

Another OnG dai ko... Q report, no wander drop so "heong" in this few days..


*****

KUALA LUMPUR: Tanjong Offshore Bhd posted a net loss of RM10.28 million in its third quarter (3Q) ended Sept 30, compared with a net profit of RM5.08 million a year earlier, due mainly to the loss at its UK unit Citech Energy Recovery Systems UK Ltd (CERS).

The company said CERS registered a net loss of £2.70 million (RM15.1 million) in the quarter and had ongoing late delivery charges payments and escalation of costs in its manufacture of waste heat recovery packages.

Revenue for the quarter fell 21.3% to RM154.88 million from RM196.91 million. Loss per share stood at 4.18 sen, compared with earnings of 2.49 sen previously.

"Recently, the group reshuffled the top management positions at CERS so as to have more direct involvement in the day-to-day operational matters. Moving forward, we hope to turn around the losses at CERS and register new sales for the financial year ending 2010," it said in the statement.

For the nine months to September, net profit plunged 86.6% to RM2.46 million from RM18.35 million in the corresponding period of FY08, while revenue jumped 38.3% to RM513.4 million from RM371.13 million.

The company said that it remained "cautiously optimistic" on prospects of the oil and gas industry in the international market .

It said despite the losses registered in 3Q "we remain confident that we are able to overcome short-term losses" as the company continuously enhanced its services to the oil majors in Malaysia and overseas market.

Buy Sealink at 0.68 (Avg down)


Enter Sealink with $0.68 today! Average price is now 0.73

Initial plan was to get 90 Lots but until market close, i only able to get 61 lots. sian! haha.. Let see how it will be.

Will keep Sealink for some time until the Q report out, then decide my next step.

Why 0.68? What i'm thinking is:

1) Of cause PE low.

2) Moving around tht price for almost 2 months.

3) Low volume, should be violate 人和 theory.. but it also give confident to me on reflecting the actual situation of the company share price. I will wait for up-coming 人和 by end of Nov ^V^!

4) Average down my price.

For this stock, this is the 1st time i do average, i make it at the share price after -10% drop from my initial buying price. Will i average it again? if another 5-8% i will do another average but will not be a big amount, because i need to keep money for other good counter.. haha

current cash vs share ratio is 30:70.

Capital is small, bo huat.. haha

Good nite
