I do not think pawn shops contribute to social inequality either. Sometimes, people get confused with cause and symptom. More pawn shops appearing in times of prosperity is a
symptom of income inequality, not a cause.

Do you think there is much difference when you buy your HDB flat under a housing mortgage loans of 10 to 20 years? Or a car under 7 to 10 years credit loan? The only difference is AH BENG takes a loan from pawnshop to tight him over, while you maybe a highly paid civil servant or privately employed salaried man from a Bank. If you lost your job, there is no difference. IMO.

2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

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 was just reading the financial statement of maxi cash, trading at a current valuation of more than 40. Will this stock follow the footsteps of blumont, liongold, asiasons? Not too sure, only time will tell

The PE is high at more than 40, but the PB is approx 3, which is not aggressive relative to the three stocks at their peak. The three stocks' valuation were as high as few hundreds in PE, and more than 50 at PB at their peak.
But I do agree the company stock is overvalued. The fair valuation of the company should be slightly above 1 in PB, IMO.
