Market not bad leh,esp during Fri.
Ha ha, MM remarks during yesd meeting Nippon Industrial n commerce leaders was worth pondering. He stressed that country leader must hv good brain n foresight.
Co-relate to d funny fuel tax rule going to impose in our neighbour. No singaporean wanted to go Johor Bahru for leisure anymore, at least till next May, as spore car must not hv more than 20 litre of fuel in car once leaving JB custom.
Spore car must hv 3 qtr tank to cross custom, u hv to drain away d fuel before u re-enter spore, if not your car is liable to be confiticated being violation of d funny local fuel rule .
They wanted sporean to invest in d Iskandar Industrial area, ds rule will kill their plan as well. Alamah, otak(brain) is d problem. Cheers.

That boss is kind at heart.
Knowing fully well office workers always, as a rule, lose money if they continue dabbling in stocks.
Furthermore, losing money will definitely affect their work performance directly on account of their mental state...
I just think that your boss is too busy body... playing shares is your own business. He can only prevent you from doing so in office but in your free time, it is your own business.
What talking u? People trying to say teach the young ones to be alert on potential threats and protecting themselves lah...what confine them??? Some more what about internet 247365??
You are naively thinking that today's kids can be so easily controlled by simply buying a condo and then confining them to the condo?
Not that simple, especially with the Internet available on 24/7.
Furthermore, a child's character cannot be simply changed or controlled by simply living in a condo....
Anticipating more gamblers by next year since it is now more accessible to newly open casinos. I am fearful that crime rate might increase and for those who have little ones or teenagers at home,do teach them be alert all the time and learn how to protect themselves from unforseable attacks when one is in the lift or alone walking around secluded areas. One of my friends has already considered buying a resale condo at a reasonable price cos he and his wife both working and his teens come home on their own after school and sometime quite late at night and this has set his mind free from worrying of their safety. What a wonderful daddy he can be! I guess he travels a lot and the first thing in his mind is safety of his family. :)
People here have the nasty habit of casually blaming the victims of tragedies for being gamblers, borrowers, etc., and not thinking of what drove them to it in the first place.
They may not be gamblers, but perhaps having many money problems, tried ways to make some money (stocks, lotteries,etc) which they very desperately need for the sake of their families and loved ones.
Criticizing others is the easiest thing to do, without thinking of the underlying circumstances..
But of course when they play stocks, they are are actually gambling because it such a highly risky thing.

Who knows that there might also be some non reported tradegies related to stock market losses. Maybe families or marriage problems coming up too. Imagine a bread winner, for example losing his savings or money for children's education or supporting old and sick parents. Too much evils of society to mention.
So boss is doing the right thing. A friend nearly wanted to end his own life had not been for friends stopping him on time and conselling. Now he has given up stocks and concentrating on his work. Your boss has a kind heart though a bit too harsh.

I think your boss means Good for all his staff . In recent years,there just too many suicides relating to 'stocks and shares' and debts which have caused some precious lives....

I know my boss is strict, but he is not harsh. Think he is doing for everyone's own good. It also helps company in productivity if everyone refrains from using company's time for stock speculation.

If you take your boss' advice, you will be much wiser than now...
Unless you can tell me which office worker ever made money dabbling in stocks?
Even if they ever made some in a roaring bull market by simply 'whacking' blindly on any stock.
They always end up losing money...
and then they will ask their boss for a raise... or more bonus!...

| I recently saw my boss put up a poster which say no staff is allowed to invest or play Singapore Stocks during office hours or off duty hours. I am wondering why. Any good or understanding person can explain his action? I can't think of any reason he should do this. |

You are a smart fellow.Stocks are alway control and they are at the winning end.

My job is important of course. The stock market cannot pay me $5K a month. SGX esp, always eats my money. China, Europe and US mostly pay me handsomely, sometimes all-in US$4 K a month and quite regularly.

I-phone can download streaming stock prices from SGX or not? I know it can download streaming US Stocks if you install the brokerage's softwares, right?
But playing shares during office hours is unfair to my boss since he raised the issue already and I think all staff must be responsible to stop playing unless off-duty or on leave.
Sacking someone for playing shares is a bit too much lah.
Why don't you buy an iPhone with data plan? Then you are not using company resources and your boss can't do anything.

Not surprising because even some financial institutions do not allow their staff to play shares. Last time my broker told me he was not allowed to play shares also, don't know if that was true.
However, by threatening to sack even if caught off-duty playing shares can be a bit undemocratic. We have a democracy mindset or not? If not, then I think your boss ok. LOL.
