When You Should Borrow Money To Invest
One of the most common question I get is this: is it a good idea to borrow money to invest in investment ‘x’ (the ‘x’ can be unit trusts, ASB, properties, business, Bank Rakyat shares, etc., etc.)?
Let me answer the question in real world terms.
What to do with your money in uncertain times
I’ve received a number of queries about the current financial turmoil raging in the US and basically throughout the world.
“What do you think of the subprime crisis in the US?”
The Imminent Collapse of the Financial System
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about the state of the current financial system in the world today. And I’m getting this sinking feeling about the whole thing. I’m beginning to develop the view that the current system cannot go on for much longer. It is so tipsy that it is not a matter of ‘if’ it will collapse anymore. Instead, it is just a matter of ‘when’.
It would take a book by itself (and perhaps even more than one!) to explain the points in complete details. But I’ve decided to summarize the points for your benefits. I must forewarn you that this article is a bit longer and also more complex than the usual. It needs to be – we’re talking about the state of the current financial system here!
The Book Of Excuses
One of the funny things (at least it’s funny to me) is hearing the excuses people give to justify why they are not rich. What’s ever funnier is that the people call them “reasons”; I call them excuses.
Throughout the years, I’ve heard excuses such as “I don’t want the responsibility” to “people would come to rob me” to “I’m too young” to “I’m too old”! I’ve heard the works and now would like to share them with you.
According to Chinese astrology, I am a tiger. “Rrrr!”
Right about now, some people are nodding their heads and uttering the words “No wonder”. Some others are saying, “I knew it.”
As a male tiger, following its namesake, I’m supposedly fierce, moody, strong and protective of my turf. I don’t know; the description applies to practically all the males who ever walked on this earth!

1. FEATURE ARTICLE: FOUR “MUST READ” BOOKS
One of the benefits of being an airline pilot is that I get to travel the world. Whenever overseas, I would take the opportunity to buy books that are not available and those that are difficult to get in Malaysia. I’ve in my collection books from Japan, China, Taiwan, Argentina, UK, Australia and of course, US.
I’ve benefited immensely from these books and know that you too can only get better by reading them. So what I’ve decided to do is to buy the rights for those books and share them with you. Other than making it available for you, an additional good thing is that I have gone through each one personally so you know the books are of proven quality.

“I’m up in arms, Azizi,” a fellow speaker told me the other day. (Though he is one of the top speakers in the whole country, he has to remain nameless. The reason so will be obvious as you will soon discover.)

Pepatah mengatakan “Angin yang sama meniup kita, ianya bergantung kepada kita untuk melayarinya”. Setiap insan mempunyai jumlah waktu yang sama dalam sehari, iaitu 24 jam. Apa yang menentukan kejayaan seseorang itu adalah kecekapannya dalam mengurus 24jam seharinya.
