About Me

Dear Readers,

My Economic101 professor once asked the class "What's so good about McDonald's burger till the company can expand its business around the world?" A student replied saying that there is nothing great about the taste. It lacks flavor and tasteless, yet people buy it. I added that burger in my place tastes way better and costs you lot cheaper. The professor then explained while many people put numerous effort to know how to make a better burger, McDonald studies how to sell it better. They may not produce the best burger, but they know how to sell it. That is how McDonald makes more money that we do. 

InvestmentKopitiam is not about McDonald selling its burger, neither about to tell you that RamlyBurger tastes way better. It is mainly to open up discussion and sharing of ideas about investment in my pursuit of financial freedom. Having zero experience under this topic, I decided to join other blue-collar army to dump all my saving to different avenues of investment to earn whatever is there, at least to the point that it would satisfy the need of my youth towards satisfaction.

For the past 25 years of my life, I was raised with the ideas of “simpan sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit”. While there’s nothing wrong to encourage the kids to start saving from small, my way of thinking started to change when the economic downturn slowly affecting my own life. The price of goods and services increase tremendously caused by the uncertainty of current economic situation (well, albeit the announced rate of inflation by the government is rather low, it seems that the price goes the other way around. it keeps shooting up! Yup, money doesn't grow on tree. If I continue to put my saving into saving account, I’ll eventually lose out to inflation as the interest given is very low. So yea, help me to figure out the best way to maximize my saving folks!!

Last but not least, I wish to express deep appreciation to the many wonderful people who have inspired me to make this blog possible;  

• to AhWang who indirectly gives ideas for this blog; 
• to Prime Minister whose I hate most for perma ban all my dupes;

• to my future babies who will read this blog. Once you're rich, you will never forever alone like your daddy.
