Insipid Investor: New Journey
http://insipidinvestor.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-journey.html
Sunday, August 16, 2015. As the title suggests, this will be a boring investment blog. Then why create it? I just simply miss writing lol. My reason for this to be an 'insipid' investment blog is that my current investment. Strategy will be very dull and straight forward. No more daily trades like in my forex days years ago. And notice the word investment. I am now taking long term horizon instead of swing trading, and specifically, in equities, and sometimes bonds. Let's fire and forget. I will do occas...

http://insipidinvestor.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 13, 2015. I have come to a cross-road. In my allocation of International Equities Index, my initial plan was to mix Vanguard All-World ETF(VWRD) and iShares World ETF (IWDA), but I realise it was a bad idea. Main difference between the two ETF:. Pay out dividends quarterly. Slightly higher TER (Total Expense Ratio). Only include developed world market. If want to include emerging market, can buy EMIM (iShares Core Emerging Market). At the moment, I have a little of VWRD, more of IWDA, an...

http://www.rolfsuey.com/2015/05/is-work-life-balance-only-for.html
Books, Videos and Courses List. Sunday, 10 May 2015. Is Work Life Balance Only For the Financially Freed? Time flies this year for me. In a blink of eye, 4 months had past. I had been extremely busy in work since the start of the year. This is primarily because of my company being acquired by a bigger company and an expanded role. Do not envy, no commensurated-salary increment! When time is so limited primarily for earning money, we often lament “how to achieve Work Life Balance? WLB is for the rich or f...

Friday, January 1, 2016. 2015 just flew by. I do not have much to review because I only started most of my investing in the second half of the year.

Therefore, I was not active. on top of that, I hv wiped out my savings for my house renovation. Everything from emergency cash, savings and investment starts from scratch. I hv also started following a couple of local investors and traders blog in 2...

Insipid Investor: October 2015
http://insipidinvestor.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 4, 2015. Talking to People on Index Investing. There two types of reaction when I tell people of index investing. 1) "Wow, I don't know how to invest! 2) "15-25 years horizon to build retirement fund? This is not fast enough.". I hv more second reactions though. It is true, most people, including me, wants to see "visible" money. That was why I started off as a forex trader. But life changes, and I am leaning towards a more passive investment style. Have faith my friends. Nikko AM STI ETF.

Insipid Investor: What's Going on the Market?
http://insipidinvestor.blogspot.com/2015/08/whats-going-on-market.html
Sunday, August 30, 2015. What's Going on the Market? I have no idea, and I do not care. I think I only see and feel like its a Great Singapore Sale going on! I executed a couple of positions, my existing position got bad drawdowns, but I'm feeling no panic because I am in for the long run. I have transacted STI ETF at 3.23, 3.10 and 2.90, at 100 shares each. Suntec REITs at 1.51, Mapletree Industrial Trust at 1.40. These should basically sum up the core of my local portfolio. 2) iShares Barclays USD Asia...
