Investing in Asia

Reading back, it looks different, clearer somehow.

As I've mentioned before, my strategy for the recession was to have a year's worth of cash on hand in case of emergency. I made that goal a while ago at the expense of being considered a cheapskate. Oh well.

Oh well? No, you should be congratulated for having a recession plan that makes good sense. Not just in case of emergency, but as a life plan even during good times. Most people don't have 6 months cash on hand, let alone a whole year.

Not sure how you could be considered a cheapskate when you bought a co-op in Manhattan, took some nice trips, bought some tech gadgets, gave nice gifts during holidays, and even bought a vintage car. All before your 30th birthday.

Sounds like you've got some guilt complex going on (where did that come from?) and you're looking for validation. No wonder you get upset when "we" discuss ethical investments or social justice?

Keep your head straight and logical, as you've done quite well that way. But don't lose compassion for others or thinking with your heart. Donate or tithe 10% of your income. Give your time and talent to others, it's more valuable than money. That's the best investment anyone can make, with no regrets.

It looks clearer? I have some guilt complex while trying to put together a stock portfolio? I'm significantly below the age of 30?

No, this is a lot less clear. And it feels like this thread all over again.

You're not 30 yet, right? I said before your 30th b-day. Giving you some compliments turns into.....feeling links to another thread?

Dread, no offense, but this forum isn't suited for "trying to put together a stock portfolio". You're smart enough to know that, so I went with the underlying intent: validation by a few in front of many.

Sorry if that was wrong.

Umm, bullshit. It's as much for talking about mutual funds as it is for 7AM rants about what's at the dollar store. I try not to make things so damn personal, why do you?

[Loki]

Do you have to judge anyone you come across?

Do you have to judge anyone you come across?

I try to be honest, and I try to help people when they ask questions.

Why do you take that as a negative judgment, Loki?

[GGT]

Maybe you should think it's pretty damn "personal" to put together a stock portfolio. You didn't just want to talk about mutual funds or general investing, you wanted to talk about your investments in Chinese mutual funds. You even put up links!

I don't see how my 7am "rants" about things Made in China compares.

[Dreadnaught]

And why is this such a personal thing for you? I asked for a gut-check on a specific assumption I was using for a potential investment in a specific fund. I put up specific links to these specific funds.

Yet now you're still ranting about...well, I don't know what the hell you're ranting about. It's honestly not coherent.

Ban Dread for advertising penny stocks!

Nah, Dread is just doing what he feels is best for him...asking for financial guidance from us.

So if I mention this sounds a bit from envy, will I get screamed at again?

Why would you get screamed at? I'd actually agree with you.

You did use the phrase gay underwear parties, even if it was in air quotes, don't be sorry
