Investing does not require frequent trading. Frequent trading is akin to gambling.nhyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856759147801825744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-49601294926182271042008-10-05T02:29:00.000+08:002008-10-05T02:29:00.000+08:00mr Tan, remember to code in a 1 in 10 year event t...mr Tan, <BR/>remember to code in a 1 in 10 year event that slaughters all the sitting ducks (ie theorectical finance/investment ppl) that believe crisis happens 1 in 1,000,000,000 years..ymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507282903179047830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-50076679874705303962008-10-04T23:48:00.000+08:002008-10-04T23:48:00.000+08:00Nowadays, it seems to become like the law of the j...Nowadays, it seems to become like the law of the jungle, if can eat, eat lah. <BR/>In other words, charge as high as possible as long as no backlash is expected or possible.<BR/>No backlash means<BR/>1. Demand will not drop because consumer has no choice (bcos no competitor) or is not aware it is high and not worth it.(eg some insurance and structured products)<BR/>2. Consumer don't mind and think it is still OK eg so called "branded" products at very high prices.<BR/>3. No boycott or anger.<BR/>4. Consumer can still afford it comfortably.<BR/>Ethics can also be thrown out if there is no backlash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-39228696965904299542008-09-12T11:42:00.000+08:002008-09-12T11:42:00.000+08:00I have a question, that might be a good blog post....I have a question, that might be a good blog post. What is the appropriate balance for profits to shareholders versus price to consumer?<BR/><BR/>Should this balance be different for different products? i.e. for food providers? for banks? for insurance companies?<BR/><BR/>When choosing a stock, should you look at the company's profit margin? If the profit margin is too high, should you avoid this company as they may be ripping off the consumer?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191812704406627194noreply@blogger.com
