Quote:Hi, I personally have spoken and meet with the Salisbury company. In revert to you comment of 'I doubt', perhaps you do doubt however you do not know! D.O.G is so confident in his summary that he hides behind a set of initials for mans best friend. Next you'll be asking your mum or girlfriend if you can invest.
Now, I am totally convinced that this investment sucks.

See what Jason Zweig wrote, some extracts,
Finance professors Brad Barber and Terrance Odean have found that women's risk-adjusted returns beat those of men by an average of about one percentage point annually. In short, women trade less frequently, hold less volatile portfolios and expect lower returns than men do.
That was in fact what Jason Zweig's advice ie. when it comes to investment, better to consult your wife / girl-friend for a 2nd opinion! 
For me, the other thing is, having followed many of the faceless, anonymous gurus in this forum (since Wallstraits days and ~7yrs?), I'm more inclined to trust them rather than any newbie who's very likely from the 'Gu' co. Quite interesting to read broken English interspersed with Good English phrases. I could swear that it must be Phua Chu Kang himself!
Note : The above is the sole opinion of yet another faceless, anonymous person who happened to be hiding behind a Kopi drinking Kat. So, don't take it too seriously!

so what did the salisbury company say?
if 26% return, i'm SURE temasick/GIC will want to INVEST TOO!!
1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same!
3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR!
4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

I share similar view. I trusted more on D.O.G opinions. It is reasonable to do with his track record in VB (or further to Wallstraits?).
But IMO, English proficiency should not be a factor to judge credibility of an investment's opinion

Girls and women knew it instinctively.
Never appear "too desparate" or "easy".
When you have a better mouse-trap, you don't need to hire up-lines and down-lines to "sell" your "koyok" (snake oil).
If I am the entrepreneur who have found a way to consistently make 25% a year, why do I want to "share" my good fortune (dilute myself out) to "free-loaders" out there?
I can borrow from bank at even 10% interest and pocket the balance 15%.
I too shy to show my books to the bank?
And if I am really altruistic, I can always donate some of my new found wealth to my religion or charities. Why share it with strangers who may not share my altruism?

Most of us i think are most probably more than happy if we can get 8% to 10% annualized return from investing in the market long term. A 25% annualized return must be from outer space. It can happen for a short period but why a company like this needs or wants to go public?
Investors not only must survive on discipline but also on skepticism. It is best not to invest even if there is still just a wee bit of doubt. Chinese saying, "Where can you find so many bullfrogs jumping all over the street"? is true saying. 
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

I visit value buddies on a daily basis, but I have been more a passive reader than a frequent contributor of this investment forum. On this discussion, however, I would like to weigh in by saying that I have benefited from the knowledge and experience shared unselfishly by many investors here whom I do not know or who "hide" their faces behind some names. And D.O.G has certainly been one of you whose opinion I appreciate very much.
Having been burnt by investing in areas like currency link products (introduced by the banks), I now stick to investing in what I know best, and that is equity investment, like most of us here. I also buy this old saying of "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"

You can also read about the above in Jason Zweig's book, "The Little Book of Safe Money: How to Conquer Killer Markets, Con Artists, and Yourself" (scroll down to read some free Chapters) in Chapter 16.
Chapter 20 on Fraudian Psychology would be most applicable in the case of such "investments" but unfortunately, no free read from that site. It's available at the library though under 332.6 ZWE-[BIZ].

You can read all the self-help books and books by psychologists yet i know some people will just believe a "sob story" from anyone. Even one from the street. They may be educated too. They are just some simple kind souls without guile. And i think everyone of us has come to know someone like this in your life. Woe to those who take advantage of such kind and simple folks.

Hi Guys,
Firstly I thank you all for doing your research on my company and no doubt we have exchanged emails over the past month or so. What is it you actually need to know about the product? I am more than willing to answer any of your questions.
