Download or read book The Extent of Singapore s Investments Abroad written by Samuel Bassey Okposin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume explores extreme openness of the Singaporean economy to international trade through the role of Foreign Direct Investment in Singapore and Singapore’s investments abroad. It provides much valuable insight to how changes in the economic and policy environments impacted on the individual Singapore-based firms and their decision making processes. The book is particularly strong in the manner in which the firm level material is linked to the overall outflow of capital, the macro-level conditions and the established theoretical explanations for the export of capital. Samuel Bassey Okposin has four aims: to examine the causes of direct investment in Singapore’s economy, to investigate the motivation for Singapore firms to invest abroad, to explain overseas direct investment from Singapore and to examine Singapore’s overseas direct investment strategies, strengths and weaknesses, considering if the current trend of outward direct investment will continue into the new millennium.
Download or read book Investing Made Easy written by Gan Kok Ann and published by Gan Kok Ann. This book was released on 2019-05-25 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows that money is essential and that without money, many wishes cannot be fulfilled. There is, however, a widespread misconception that high-income earners have an unfair edge to gain wealth and that ordinary wage earners will lose out in the race. In fact, these are just ridiculous fallacies, because as long as young people adhere strictly to the delayed gratification lifestyle, resist the attraction of "keeping up with the Joneses" and make good use of savings to invest wisely, they can become rich before they reach old age. Always remember that it's not rocket science that is the secret to getting rich, but it's just common sense. As the saying goes, "Investing is not about getting rich overnight, but to amass wealth gradually and steadily." For anyone perpetually living in a state of anxiety for the future, struggling to meet ends, worrying about immediate debt settlement, or simply committing to financial freedom, I believe this book is a godsent gift to help you. Not only does it serve to get you out of the abyss of mounting debt, but it also guides you to open the door of riches. Gaining financial security is just a matter of time if you are committed to understanding and harnessing the insights covered in this book.

Download or read book Create A Secondary Income Stream written by Chua I-Min and published by Chua I-Min. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To achieve real financial independence, it is important to make yourself less dependent on a specific income stream (i.e. your primary job). Everybody would agree that a secondary income stream would be great, yet few actually do it. Most people either lack motivation or become distracted with other things in life to put effort and discipline to make it happen for them. Investing is one common means of developing a secondary income stream but the lack of a viable investment plan is a common reason for most failures. Warren Buffet taught us that: ‘What is needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from eroding that framework’. This book attempts to provide amateur investors an easy-to-read guide on knowing your objectives, risk appetite to develop an investment plan, the macro considerations and the use of some basic financial tools to help in stock selection. You may wish to test your investment plan on paper and then in the market with real money to boost your confidence and understanding of the knowledge learnt. Happy reading & investing to all!
