  (Free Image Credit: Freepik) This article is a tribute to a close friend who passed on 5 years ago. His wisdom, his generosity and his brotherhood will always be remembered. His kindness towards everyone will always be an inspiration to me. God bless.  Welcome to the new investment year of 2025 when everyone starts on a clean slate. If you have done well last year, give yourself a pat on the back, if you had not done so, there is no need to be despondent. Just dust yourself off and carry on. I wish everyone a profitable year ahead. For those who are new to my blog, let me take this opportunity to welcome you. I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.

Wolf Money(Against all odds)

-
Image
  (Source: CBS; Jerry and Marge Selbee, a retired couple in their 60s manage to beat the odds) Against All Odds I took an interest in the various kinds of odds associated with table games in a casino after my trip on a Genting cruise recently. The casino enjoys a house odds over the players in any games. The game of Blackjack happens to have the lowest disadvantage to the gambler. The house has a 51% chance of coming out as a winner in every game. The second game that has the lowest house odds happens to be the favourite game of high rollers, Baccarat. The odds are 48.94 vs 51.06 in favour of the house. One must be thinking the house odds weren’t that great; 1% is negligible. The odds stay at 49% vs 51% if the players played just one game. If the rule of probability is added to the equation, that 1% becomes a very big advantage over several games.  As I was indulging in my research, I came across a couple from Michigan that managed to beat the house in the game of lottery. Jer...

(Image credit: Freepik.com) Lone Wolf Fund(LWF) Portfolio as at end of Dec 2024 1.) Cash 2.) Genting Singapore 3.) Boustead Singapore 2.)  Wilmar International   *Stocks are not rank in accordance to capital invested .  *Just for sharing. Not an inducement to buy or sell . Commentary   My thoughts and prayers go to the victims’ families of the failed Jeju Air flight 7C2216. I wish all the affected passengers and their family members a speedy recovery.  I thought I had seen everything after living through life for close to half a century, but 2024 never fails to amuse me. Return of Trump, a $6.2m Banana, a 6 hours martial law in South Korea, bitcoin at $100k, Syrian dictator, Assad, as sad he can be is out of power and the shocking death of a friend. If 2024 was unpredictable, buckle up, here comes 2025.  2025 is the year of the snake in the Chinese Zodiac. Some major world events happened in the previous snake years, including The Pearl Harbour Attack, The ...

Wolf Money(4 questions shareholders need to ask on SingPost’s woes)

-
Image
  (Image Credit: Singapore Post) First of all, I have no share in the company. I did owned the shares a couple months ago, but I have sold them. My commentary is for public interest only. I was asked about this saga happening to our beloved national postal service. I had a look at the board statement. There are many questions unanswered than having more clarity out of reading the statement. SingPost shareholders need to know what had happened. This is not witch hunting. I continue to have great respect for the b.o.d and the staffs for providing us an essential service. The board did the correct thing in my opinion. There are lingering questions which I will asked if I am a shareholder of the company. 1.) Why is the investigation and the subsequent actions took so long since it was discovered early part of this year?  2.) Will the revelations affect or delay the sale of the Australia business since the ex chief executives were actively involved in the deal? 3.) Since it involve...
