I think AK_Francis is working in  Meryl Lynch.  All what he wrote smell like them.

Med , no illing feeling from us lah. Don't take it so hard leh. As far as one can express himself in reasonable words in the forum, he/she is a wise guy/gal. Ha ha.

 

glad that u all found it amusing ... :  )

now that Farmer had mentioned it .. i realise that i might have used a phrase in some chinese dialect that could have some unpleasant/ rude etc meaning ...did i ? ... if that is the case ..it was purely unintentional ... actually it is a typo .. sorry .. thanks for understanding ... :  )

 

 

Wise baseerahmed indeed,few good points about the food crisis...hehehe.

 

 

Fair enough.... his mentioned of Chiam See Tong as "Chiam Chee Thong" already making me laugh lah. Hahaha! Hohoho! Kekeke!


 

 

BaseerAhmed... :)

Abang... awak baik... 
Saya bila bila pun suka pengtauhan awak...
Awak mesti mahu selalu ajar kita ... hehehe...
(Saya bila membaca pospos awak pun mahu senyum-senyum, lah...

[I always like your knowledge...
You must frequently teach us a thing or two...
(I always smile whenever reading your posts)]

 

hiiiiiiiiii ! iPunter !

welcome back !

where have u been all this while ... were u posting under a new nick that we were unaware of ....hahaha !

good to see u again .... ! hahaha ....!

 

hahaha ! ... scratching my head ! ... since when did i become so wise ???!! ... i am just a suvaku .. again, i am the last one on planet earth who could know all these things .. i am not even a speck of dust ... perhaps u should call up IMF, WFO , UN etc .. to get the news .. .. hahaha !

but ..anyway ..for some sunday afternoon fun and amusement ..here goes....

....in this age of literacy and instantaneous transfer of data/information sometimes i think that there is a conspiracy/wayang at higher levels ... they know a lot of things but are releasing as they feel fit .... maybe to distract the masses / to 'entertain' the masses ... now that the ' terroists' bogeyman is losing its 'glamour' ... so have to bring in a new bogeyman to keep the masses in line so that it would be easier to manage the world populations...hahaha ..

looking at the rice issues .. maybe after a few weeks they will say that had a bumper harvest and the market will be flooded with rice ....

but seriously ... maybe this could mobilise agricultural nations (see Malaysia) and rich nations to invest in the production of food and encourage more research in food production .. maybe now the oil rich nations (Arab, oil rich ? )could turn to investing in agricultural produce instead of just building the tallest , the most luxurious apartments ... hahaha !

consequences ... mmm ..well they have identified that there is a problem ..therefore will seek solutions towards that end and maybe in a short few years there will be surplus of food items ... and our aussies and yakees will dump the over produced food in the sea or burn them off to maintain the price of the food just like last time hahaha ... i just pray and hope that they are more wiser now and send it to somalia and other starving nations ....hahaha !

in singapore ... maybe our younger generations will realise that we can't take things for granted and always expect a free flow of food ... good that they understand/learn the frugal way of life .. prioritise the things in their life ....maybe more will cut down on eating out at restauarants and start self-cooking at home ... bad news for reatuarant owners/staff in the short term ... maybe the sales of cook books will rocket and more cooking classes will sprout just like stock market trading schools ... hahaha .... NWC might recommend an increase in wages for the lower income group while freezing the salaries of the upper group ...and maybe Chiam Chee Thong will visit his pet idea of growing rice on HDB roof-tops ....hahaha !

all for fun ok .... hahaha ! *wink*

 

 

BaseerAhmed... :)

Adoi ! Saya sangat suka awak punya cakapan... awak mencakap banyak betul...


(Wow! I like what you said... what you said is so true...)  hehehe...

 

Wise baseerahmed,what do u think of the food crisis that is going on and its consequences on the world???

Also how will it  spore in particular???

Just ur views.....hehehe 

 

the wise ones ... the discerning ones  ... those who know how to separate the wheat from chaff ... will listen/take the advice of even a 4 year old if it is good ... what more with someone with super self-confidence who calls himself  'stupidfool' ... hahaha !  *wink*  :  )

 

 

hahaha...baseerahmed...who ever will take stupidfool tips or advise seriously????

As such,being stupidfool means that i oni have one princple in investment,that is,KISS.

keep it simple stupid(KISS).

Hehehe....

 

hahaha ! stupidfool ... i'm the last person on planet earth to give any hot tips .. for i am just a beginner/novice .. unlike many Titans in here .... perhaps they are the ones who could give very hot tips ...hahaha ... i too , am like u .. care to share some hot tips? .. .. hahaha !

anyway .. going by ur style in some of ur postings  ...  like Jim Rogers said below :  Just stay with what you know and invest accordingly... in other words .. stick to what works for u ... hahaha !

------------------------------------------

and Jim Rogers also seems to indirectly answering ur query about the rise and fall of empire ....

The 21st Century is going to be the century of China,especially Asia and China . Moving to Asia now is like moving to London in 1808, moving to America in 1908. If I'm right, this is the place to be for the next century.

( mmmm 1808,1908,2008 .... and his 5 years old daughter speaks 'perfect Mandarin' )

 

Hahaha...baseerahmed,like that stupidfool will not be successful because i cannot do research or home work b4 investing.

I oni want hot tip.U have any???Tell me.

 

 

His Golden Rules

What am I doing with new money? I'm buying Taiwan, I'm buying a few Chinese shares, I'm buying the Singapore dollars,the yuan, the Swiss fran and the Japanese yen. I'm buying commodities -- more agricultural commodities today, as a matter of fact -- selling short investment banks in America if they rally. They have been short for a couple of years in the United States. If these things rally, I'll sell more .

That's basically what I'm doing, but who knows whether I'm right or wrong ?

Everybody has to make their own decisions. The only way you are going to be a successful investor is to figure out what you know a lot about , do some homework and invest in it. Don't listen to anybody. If you know a lot about cars or hairdressing or style, invest in it. Do your homework and then invest in it. People always want a hot tip or want to say: " Tell me , tell me , tell me. "

That's not the way to become a successful investor. Just stay with what you know and invest accordingly.

Thanks  baseerahmed,stupidfool is trying to see whether history can repeat itself.
