Wolf Money(Singapore Savings Bonds May 2024 review)

-
Image
  The yield on SSB is creeping up slowly as 10 years SGS yield is on an uptrend. The rise in 10Y UST yield is having an impact on our own 10 years. The higher and longer interest rate narrative by the Fed is putting pressure on bond prices. There is a good chance next month SSBs yield will be higher than the current issue. Closing date for the current issue ends on 25th April 2024@9pm. Good luck.   Please consider following us on telegram for the latest update on Lone Wolf investor by clicking on the link below.

Wolf Review(Strictly Business, The Kwek Leng Beng Story by Peh Shing Huei)

-
Image
  (Contents) Welcome to another book recommendation. When this book was out a couple of months back, I knew I was going to get one. The subject person of today’s reading happens to be the Legendary Chairman, Kwek Leng Beng of City Development Limited.  Strictly Business, The Kwek Leng Beng Story by Peh Shing Huei is probably the only book written about the Chairman and his company. He is well known in the business circles for not giving many interviews or ever had a book written about him before this latest title. After much persuasion from his friends, he thought it might be time to give his thoughts on how he sees his family, friends and business.  If one mentions Kwek Leng Beng, one can’t go on without mentioning his father, Kwek Hong Png, who had a profound role in shaping his business philosophy. His father came from Fujian, China, seeking a better life in Singapore by working for his uncle’s company supplying construction materials. He eventually founded the Hong Leong Group wit

Wolf Bargain(Bruno Mars giveaway winner)

  A winner has been chosen among all the many entries. Congratulations to Guek Choo. Guek Choo entered the contest because her son is a Bruno Mars fan. I told her she is the best mum ever for her son after winning the T-Shirt for him.  I asked Guek Choo who comes from the financial industry, on how is she investing her money presently. She has a balanced portfolio. A portion of her investment dollars goes into unit trusts and insurance policies. She is also vested in Singapore market(Phew! 😮‍💨 at least I know I am not alone investing in our local market🤪). She and her clients are quite conservative investors. They prefer passive income through dividend investing.  We had a long chat about the financial industry on how investors’ expectations have shifted over the past few years. The high risk-free rate changes how people invest their money. She is quite sanguine about the market. The recent changes to the CPF rule on special account can give the market a much-needed boost. I hope so
