The US Federal Reserve initiated its easing cycle with 50 basis points rate cut last week. This week, Chinese markets joined the trend on Tuesday by cutting the rate by 50 basis points. This decision sparked a rally, with the $Hang Seng Index (800000.HK)$ and $SSE Composite Index (000001.SH)$ rising more than 4% in a single day. On the same day, the Reserve Bank of Australia left its cash rate unchanged at 4.35%. Howe...

My ETF holdings are mainly the leveraged ETFs which have higher risk profile compared to other type of ETFs. However, my problem with my ETF holding is their lackluster performance. ![]()
Luckily though they are only a small position of my overall portfolio and I am not looking at profit near term.
That being said, if you google about leveraged ETFs, you will see the red flag as below immediately.

I did gradually realize that dining costs were going up. ![]()

For dining out, Toast Box raised their prices again this year!![]()
But then you see news like Putien restaurants absorbing GST and waiving service charges.![]()
It's a mixed bag...but I've personally cut down on eating out. Instead, I've been buying groceries and cooking at home – it's cheaper and fun for gatherings with friends and family.![]()

Since young, I have been told by my teachers that a car is a depreciating asset. Besides road tax, parking fees, ERP and petrol/electrical costs, it needs regular maintenance and will require repairs at one point or another. It is recommended not to spend more than 20% of one’s disposable income on car expenses. Although owning a car provides convenience (especially if one is laden with shopping or has young children or family members with mobility iss...

Many people like to plan their getaways during long weekends due to public holidays but I’m the exception. I prefer to travel during off-peak periods as I dread long queues (like when crossing over to Johor), large crowds and the air fares and accommodation will be cheaper. What do I do then during long weekends?

Singapore is my home and where my heart lies. There is nowhere else in the world where you can find authentic Singapore food. I hope Singapore and her people will never forget how far we have come as a nation and continue to maintain racial harmony and forge a better life for everyone, regardless of the challenges that lie ahead. Happy ![]()
Singapore!

My very first bucket of gold was actually from way back when I was a student and I won the lucky draw 1st prize Apple ipod touch which I subsequently sold it for a good profit![]()
