对话华商领袖郭鹤年 FULL VERSION

企业家都有一种使命感。赚钱当然是最重要的工作,可是,当获得大量金钱后,使命感便会油然而生。没有使命感,一个人很快便想到退休,每天在高尔夫球场出现。 许多人比我聪明,不过,聪明的人夜生活比较乱,第二天可能在桌上睡着,我没有睡,所以我的马儿就跑得比较快。 http://wiki.mbalib.com/wiki/%E9%83%AD%E9%B9%A4%E5%B9%B4

Gisele Bundchen, Warren Buffet, and Donald Trump

图片
What do Victoria Secret model Gisele Bundchen and billionaire Warren Buffett have in common? Besides fame, fortune, and investing smarts (yes, models have brains), they both hated the U.S. dollar... and may still to this day. You see, back in 2007, the catwalk princess refused to be paid in U.S. dollars. Bundchen requested she be paid "only euros" because, as Bloomberg pointed out at the time, the dollar "can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means." Even Buffett could be heard laughing when asked about the world's best currency: "Not the U.S. dollar," he'd often say. Today Donald Trump is joining the anti-dollar ranks, having just accepted $200,000 in gold bullion for office space . And it may be one of the smartest things Trump has ever done, knowing that as long as Bernanke is Fed chief, gold will be a great investment moving forward. It's up to you how you want to tra...

None Dare Call It Conspiracy

图片
Government either gets money by taxing or borrowing. The super-rich got that way by leveraging the latter. But does anyone really understand how that government borrowing works? From Gary Allen's famed 1971 classic None Dare Call It Conspiracy: The public is led to believe that our government borrows from "the people" through savings bonds. Actually, however, only a small percentage of the national debt is held by individuals in this form. Most government bonds, except those held by the government itself through its trust funds, are held by vast banking firms known as international banks. For centuries there has been big money to be made by international bankers in the financing of governments and kings. The process through which one collects a debt from a government or a monarch is not a subject taught in the business schools of our universities, and most of us - having never been in the business of lending money to kings - have not given the problem much thought. B...

Provoking Thoughts : Cancer treatment is about making money?

图片
video on internet: from a fwd mail... The below is absolutely 100% true and as a doctor I have been telling people this for 15 years now. No one wants to listen. Folks need to wake up. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a year industry in the United States alone and estimated to be a 600 billion dollar a year industry worldwide. A successful cancer case according to the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology means that the person survives for 5 years. Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology admit that a person is likely to survive cancer for 7 to 10 years even if they do absolutely NOTHING. Of course, only the doctors get those magazines - not you, the cancer patient.  Alternative medicine's track record of curing cancer is 10 times higher than that of conventional medicine. Note that I say CURE. ...

The Thinking Man

图片
Be The Thinking Man Thong Ming Sen Make money your God and it will plague you like the devil. ~ Henry Fielding In today's world, greed rears its ugly head in the form of insatiable thirst for materialistic wealth. We deceive ourselves into thinking that we will be content if we get what we want only to find out that the happiness is only temporary and before long, we are craving for more and better items, just as how drug abusers crave for more drugs. If the remedy for drug abuse is rehabilitation programmes, then the remedy for greed is looking for non-materialistic joy. If criticism are fired at you, remember that no one kicks a dead dog. The fact that you are being criticised shows that you are "worthy" of it. Furthermore, life is a marathon, not a race. The good thing about life is that if you are good, there's always someone better than you, and if you are bad, there are always others who are worse. The sands of time are such that the past, present ...

Mister Potato and Man Utd

图片
The packaging of Mister Potato products, which is exported to more than 80 countries, now comes with the images of football icons like Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Park Ji-Sung. It makes business sense for a product like Mister Potato, which has a heavy presence in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in Korea, Japan and Australia. With an estimated 333 million Manchester United fans worldwide of which 190 million are in Asia, such a deal would have been foreseeable. And believe it or not, it is estimated that there are between four and five million in Malaysia! Football is the world's No. 1 sports and Manchester United is the world's No:1 club and linking it to Malaysia's favourite potato crisps is the ultimate culmination of a deal that provides a global stage for the expansion of the product in markets where the football club's footprints have already been embedded. The endeavour to bring out a product whose quality matched global standards started in a humbl...

In 2035, China Will ...

图片
By 2035, income per person in China will reach the current U.S. level. If they spend that money like American do, here's how the resource picture will look in about twenty years' time. In 2035... China's 1.38 billion people will use 80% as much paper as is produced globally today. That will leave 20% of the paper for the remaining 84% of the population... Hello, forestry boom. China would also need 1.5 billion tons of grain annually to feed those 1.38 billion people. That's 70% of what the world produces annually. Will the remaining 30% of grain be enough to feed the remaining 7.1 billion people in the world?... Hello, agriculture boom. China will also have 1.1 billion cars by then. That's as many as are currently in the world, so imagine every car in the world today being in China...To host that many cars, China would needs roads, highways, and parking lots currently equal to 66% of the land it uses to grow rice. If it has to pave all that land, ho...

Thinking the Unthinkable in Europe

图片
Kidnapping the world with a structured and well planned financial crisis? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thinking the Unthinkable in Europe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Measures will have to be taken to prevent a financial meltdown in the eurozone as a whole. First, bank deposits must be protected. At the same time, the European banking system would have to be recapitalized and put under European, as distinct from national, supervision. Finally, government bonds issued by the eurozone’s other deficit countries would have to be protected from contagion. The last two requirements would apply even if no country defaulted. So there is no alternative but to create the missing component: a European treasury with the power to tax and, therefore, to borrow . This would require a new treaty,...

Ticket to Freedom: A Value at Any Price

图片
The Wall Street Journal recently reported: “Canadian and Chinese agents say Chinese buyers are looking for longer-term investments to diversify their holdings outside of the mainland.” And they’re right. The Chinese want to get their money out of China. And that’s the critical point that will affect you, me, and our financial futures. A Value at Any Price The Chinese are buying up international property largely because it’s the only way they can get money out of the country. There are so many rules governing Chinese citizens and their money. They can’t have money in foreign bank accounts... They can only leave the country with a limited amount of cash... In short, they have very few options by which to shield their money from the Chinese government. The only reasonable way for most wealthy people in China to get money out of the country is to buy property. And it’s why they are willing to pay absolutely absurd prices. They may pay $3 million for a place that’s really worth ...

How To Spot A Bubble

图片
More than Location, Location, and Location What's driving any major real estate bubble is the critical thing here. I’ve been staying in an apartment in one of the newest buildings in the city, the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel. A room here will set you back at least $500 a night during the peak summer season (if one is even available). I’m staying in the residential part of the hotel. And it’s the epitome of a real estate bubble. My place is a two-bedroom, 2,000 square foot condominium. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice. The shower has seven heads, the blinds go up and down via remote control, the view is tremendous... But it’s not as nice as the numbers make it out to be. You see, this condo was originally bought for $3.2 million. The mortgage on that would be about $18,000 a year at current interest rates. And it’s a condo, so there are all kinds of other fees and costs on top of that. The monthly fees exceed $1,500. The taxes are a few hundred dollars a month, too. All...

A Week In Review: 两线制,天下没有白吃的午餐,历史

两线制不外乎两只狼和一只小绵羊决定晚餐吃什么的游戏。无可否认,它好过一只狼一只小绵羊的局面。但现实是,到最后被端上餐桌的,还是小绵羊。 如果你是一家公司的“老板”,在 任何时候 都有权力对腐败或越权的员工进行惩罚,甚至开除他们。在主流媒体渲染下的所谓民主,“老板”们要对犯错的“公仆”进行惩罚,只有少得可怜的那么两年或四年一次的机会,更甚的是,其他“老板们”必须和你站在同一阵线,你才能够真正教训失职的代表(多数票赢)。 沒有免費午餐 No Free Lunch 當你擁有的是民粹主義的民主時,為了贏得選票,你就得越給越多。為了在下一屆選舉中打敗對手,你必須承諾給得更多。這是個無止境的‘競標’和‘成本’(auctions and costs),債務最終得由下一代來償還。 http://www.sinchew.com.my/node/219697?tid=2 為了政治而派錢,將陷入惡性循環。民聯派100,國陣派200,永遠滿足不了人們的胃口。“天下沒有免費的午餐”,人民遲早要償還收到的財援,這個道理有幾個人懂?... http://opinions.sinchew-i.com/node/21004?tid=19 派錢措施固然能為部份國民解決燃眉之急,然而,更實際的紓解民困辦法,還是通過扶貧政策,不分種族地協助低收入的人民增加入息,或讓從事勞動行業、小販及中小型工業者獲得貸款便利、特別獎掖和津貼,協助他們發展生意。 http://opinions.sinchew-i.com/node/21013 看一看, 天下乌鸦一般黑可以怎样诠释: Weekend: Obama's Solar Scandal By Nick Hodge | Saturday, September 17th, 2011 Solyndra was the first green company to get a loan guarantee from Obama's near-trillion-dollar stimulus.

Inflation Nation

图片
Thanks to recent skyrocketing inflation, the citizens could no longer afford to eat. The middle class was starting to starve. There's an old saying that's used to define the temperament of oppressed people: “Bread and Circuses”... It dates back to just before the fall of the Roman Empire in 100 A.D., and is derived from the observation that people will put up with nearly all sorts of tyranny and injustice, so long as the mob has food and entertainment. What's happening across the world is a result of their food becoming too expensive. Feeling the same pain, just days after the first protests in Tunisia, the riot fever spread to Algeria — where protesters hit the streets, carrying signs that read “We Want Sugar!” Next to fall, for the same reasons, was Egypt... Then Libya. You get the point. You hear about it every day. But what many in the mainstream press fail to realize, is that these protests and riots aren't simply because of a harsh dictator. Anyone over ...

If you have the means, the more precious metals you can stock up on, the better off you are going to be. After all, the first time you are blessed with the opportunity to hold actual real gold coins in your own two hands will change your life. Physical gold has been the solid monetary foundation of trade, commerce, and sustainable economic booms for almost all of human history. Again, no one is going to complain about that sort of asset protection. But while the dollar still has ground, I'm showing everyone I know how to take full advantage of it through a handful of stocks positioned to pay investors several times the gains that their physical counterparts make. Over the coming months, it could make you extremely wealthy... Just as it has already increased the wealth of other investors more than 237% since November. You see, while the dollar deteriorates — driving precious metals prices higher — something else happens... The profits — and share prices — of the companies exp...

Some ideas for reference in promoting local tourism (in this case, the biggest winner is Queensland Tourism Board): http://www.milliondollarmemo.com/en/about-the-competition http://www.milliondollarmemo.com/en/news-and-events From The Edge Financial Daily (Thursday, September 8, 2011) Tourism Queensland CEO Anthony Haves said Queensland's tourism industry would be the ultimate winners of the Million Dollar Memo. "When these 20 finalists return to their workplaces, we want them to tell their bosses that Queensland is the best place in the world to reward their starff," he said. The campaign had been in the works for 18 months and was launched in March. Companies worldwide were invited to compete in the challenge by sending a 60-second video on what makes their companies a great place to work and why Queensland is the ultimate reward destination. A total of 291 entries were received - 70% from the Asia-Pacific - and this was whittled down to a top 70-shortlist a...

Sell Gold, Buy Farmland

图片
A few headlines that seems related: 1. George Soros and Jim Rogers Selling Gold, Buying Farmland Here’s a great trivia question for you. What asset has appreciated more than any asset since the year 2000? Answer: Farmland. 1,200% A fund controlled by George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund manager, owns 23.4 percent of a South American farmland venture Adecoagro. Commodities are still the best play for the long term and legendary investor guru Jim Rogers confessed that he has been buying farmland himself... the supplies of food are going to continue to be under pressure. This leads me to conclude that agriculture is going to be one of the greatest industries in the next 20 years, 30 years. http://www.wealthwire.com/news/metals/1769 2.

Unfair Advantage: Debt

While there are never guarantee in the world of money, a legitimate financial education grants you access to the highest returns in the investment world, investments with the lowest risk, and very low taxes, zero taxes in some instances. The first investment is in your financial education. ~ Robert Kiyosaki, Unfair Advantage Some unfair advantage on taxes in the real world, in our own country ... In the long run, looking after the wellbeing of those that need help will benefit everyone. Having a layer of super rich, does not translate into a community of high earners. It just means a select few are growing their wealth faster by taking advantage of a lopsided tax system and other biased mechanisms... If you were to sell any one of these newly acquired property within five years of purchase, you pay a 5% real property gains tax on what you made and still get a RM10,000 discount. However if you decide to hold on to the property (noting that prices generally appreciate) and ...

Deflation

"In the last three years, banks all over the world have printed trillions of dollars, in the hope of saving the world economy. In spite of this massive banking fraud, people continue to try and save money. Saving counterfeit money is insanity…pure stupidity." ~ Excerpt from Robert’s Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin. What is about to happen in the markets and the economy in 2012 and the decade beyond was practically preordained back in the 1970s and 1980s… And as you’re about to discover, there’s nothing you or I, or any politician or government, or any team of monetary experts can do to stop it. As history has shown, these economic trends are virtually set in stone – as certain as the DNA with which we were born. Some of the greatest fortunes have been made, not in boom times, but in down economies… by people who understood exactly what was going on: The Kennedy fortune was made this way, buying up cheap companies and assets during depression era America. Even Wa...
