Financial Musings
Here’s a site that has some interesting posts regarding the Singapore financial scene. WallStraits.com hosts an interesting forum that appears to have a decent community with intelligent comments. Various members have posted views on unit trusts, ETFs, REITs and some of them are actually decent.
I’m sure a number of them have vested professional interests so I’m normally cautious when reading their opinions. I suspect a number of them offer financial consulting services and use this forum as a means of outreach. As with everything else, caveat lector.
On a related point (I got this link through the above forum), I posted a review of Kiyosaki’s The Business School for People Who Like Helping People last year at Amazon. It came into my hands through someone involved in network marketing, and merited my attention because of Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad bestseller. The author claims to have lots of experience in the real estate market and his book’s claim to fame is revolutionising how people should seek financial independence.
My opinion of him has dipped since I’ve learned about his association with Network Marketing folks, but here’s someone else’s highly critical analysis of Kiyosaki’s writings. Hmm… again, caveat lector.
