I’ve seen many people struggle with basic budgeting, even high-income earners! Buying that RM23,000 Hermes Birkin bag and the limited-edition RM32,000 Nike Yeezy 2 Red October sneakers for your collection is likely to be detrimental to your long-term financial freedom goals. One thing that gets many people is lifestyle creep. What is lifestyle creep? Lifestyle […]
It’s that time of the year again! As 2020 draws to a close, Malaysians are rushing to maximize their income tax returns. 2020 has not been a great year, with COVID-19 and the subsequent economic challenges. It’s often said that the only two constants in life are death and taxes. I couldn’t think of a […]
If you’ve never stared certain ruin in the face and laughed, can you say you’ve truly lived? 🤔 The tight, nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach when going all in with your life savings is indescribable. Betting everything on a roll of a dice, knowing that failing means catastrophe, is almost like an […]
Uncle and aunty investors in Malaysia are a bunch of hardened, no nonsense motherfuckers. They don’t do fancy-schmancy keh kiang (pretend to be clever) stuff like fundamental analysis or technical analysis. Candles and moving averages are foreign to them. A stock is either Good (hoot 9 ee!) or Bad (sell ah, don’t catch falling knife). […]
Pfizer, makers of the iconic blue pill that has rallied men of a certain age to engorged tumescence, has announced their COVID-19 vaccine is 90% effective.

Bitcoin is like that song Lao Bengs love and belt out enthusiastically at karaoke joints nationwide, 爱拼才会赢. 有时起 有时落. Sometimes up, sometimes down.

You may not know it, but under my pressed Oxwhite shirts is a chiseled, muscular body, sculpted by many hours in the gym. Okay la, it’s not Greek God standards but give face a bit and stop laughing at the back there. I started working out before investing but realized the mindset and skills are […]
I know people who do not own credit cards coz they believe it’s inherently evil. And it can be. Credit cards have extremely high interest rates if you miss the payments. Getting cash out from a credit card lagi teruk. That one worse than loan shark man. Does this make them bad? No. Like all […]
Hartalega and Supermax announced their quarterly results today, posting record net high profits of RM544.96 million and RM789.52 million respectively. “SELL ON NEWS!” scream investors from the less savory forums. “Aiya you first time play stocks meh?

The game is afoot! Unless you were hiding under your mother’s skirt for the past week, you’ll have heard rumblings about certain political maneuverings culminating with an Emergency (Darurat) declaration.
