No need. Just buy and keep Nikko Am STI ETF units (as much as your disposable money can tahan) until you retire. Better than FDs. No need to gamble with investments.

True. Lessons from firsthand experience is always better than dead concepts. Painful though.

My yield about 3.5% also
Quite boring and I buy mostly blue chip.

Good also, I lazy to monitor. Can sleep sound.
I see cheap then I buy. I happy then I buy.

Just like I go Supermarket buy vegetable. Cheap then I buy

When sti drop to 2600 or 2700? I forgot . I think my paper loss close to 100k
Then I keep buying and bite finger.

At least Graham and Dodd were practitioners. Kiyosaki is a marketer. No different from Kong hee.

But one year dividend only enough cover my one year medical bill. Phew.
So I have to invest more and earn more for my passive income.

True. Lessons from firsthand experience is always better than dead concepts. Painful though.

for beginners when u are first starting out,learning and studying is more important then doing the actual activity,because u understand very little,and people dont know what they do not know,and u keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again because u are not competent enough to recognize ur own mistakes and even if u do,u do not possess the knowledge to correct them.reading and studying is learning from the experience of others and pros who has been there before u and figured out all the difficult stuff before u,saving u all the trouble of figuring it out on ur own which u will probably never be able to,it is thanks to books and knowledge we are able to stand on the shoulders of giants.

just like poker,when u are first starting out u should spend at least 50 percent of the time or more studying and learning rather than playing,theres a huge learning curve and a lot of things they do not know,but most people dont,they spend 90 percent of the time playing and 10 percent reading and learning and communicating with others and analyzing their mistakes.this is highly inefficient practise.
