1 Share of Amazon is RM500 + after Stock Split


On June 8, 2022, Amazon the e-commerce giant performed stock split 1 to 20 . Amazon pre stock split is so expensive to retail investors at USD2000 ++ each share.

In order to participate the financial roller coaster of USA stock market, I need to have at least Rm600 to buy a single Amazon stock as a retail investor.

To achieve that I have an account with Rakuten Trade. They in recent years have been promoting USA stock market. A good platform for retail investors. Leave a comment if you know any platform does a fantastic job to secure market share in retail investors. 

In a rising of USD to MYR, it is much more expensive now to trade. 4.4 Ringgit to 1 USD is really high compared to past currency performance we used to have like 3.5 Ringgit to 1 USD.

Let hope currency will not have any large fluctuation in the future. We might stand to lose 40 percents just by currency exchange. Let say currency strengthened in MYR, when we perform stock selling, Rakuten Trade will automatically convert the currency to MYR. 

The good future for retail investors are Amazon stock price sky rocketed and Ringgit remained weakened or lower like 5 MYR to 1 USD.

As a retail investors with limited fund and limited knowledge in stock market, there is no need to put all the eggs in one basket. 

The last Amazon stock split was year 1999 before dot com bubble in the year 2000. I was just in primary school. After the bubble, Yahoo stock never recovered. In fact, Yahoo was quite a huge household brand I still remember the giant search engine till today.

Stock market is a risky to invest with a good return. If you don't invest, nothing will happen but if you do, stay investing and enjoy the ride !!

Blog : RTS Link Malaysia and Singapore

How beautiful will it be the new Rapid Transit System Malaysia and Singapore?




Woodland North MRT
Year 2019. A completed Woodlands North MRT station. This new MRT line will enable passenger travel to Marina Bay


Had an opportunity to be at Singapore on 2019 witnessed newly built MRT station. the new MRT line is closely located at where the RTS will be built on. The joint venture provides a win-win situation for the dire need to address traffic congestion issue at Causeway bridge.



Woodlands North Malaysia and Singapore



Grateful that good initiative were taken promptly. Thousands of people travel to both country in seek for honest living. Any nature of business can be facilitated. Leisure, Culture and Religion.



Is causeway bridge safe for foot passenger ? Yes. but, it did not have any safe parameter. The other alternative is bus. The bus fare is varies. From my account, the cheapest fare was RM2.00 from Malaysia to Singapore.



RTS link Singapore and Malaysia
"Honest Living" is the reason alone for no further delay in the project



Public livelihood is at stake any further delay in the project.



Besides, a grand shopping mall situated at princess cove by R & F group has a grand opening in the year 2019.



In the wake of economic downturn, delay in the project can be justified due to low economic benefit. The project is rumored to be opened on the year 2026.



My humble opinion, I would like to have a dedicated safe walkway. The world is changing rapidly and world class standard should be taken into consideration. A healthy approach should be taken seriously. Automobile and motorcycle owner should not be weigh more important than foot passenger ! The world look seriously whether a facility or amenity providing a due concern for incapable individual.


Weakness in Cryptocurrency / Blockchain

Robert's Google+


Bitcoin is more of a digital lesson than a real money



Bitcoin started from 2009. From that day they had published numerous articles from their own website "Coinbase" about challenging the financial system. In fact, big companies are not buying their product. Amazon, Google and even gaming platform Steam never liked them.



Bitcoin is really good in marketing their strength. About transparency and security. What most of us did not know the system is slow when lots of people were using it. The team in Blockchain failed to address it cant sustain large amounts of transactions. If millions of users made transactions, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin will fail miserably. This is a certain because all of them are using Blockchain technology. 



The bank we are using today has the ability to make instant transfer. Payment never went through ? A call to bank will help.



Despite failed to woo big corporations to use their payment service and fix the loading time from a sender to receiver, they continuously creating articles in their own news network about new corporation taking up initiative to recognize highly fluctuated cryptocurrency. The value fluctuated so much it benefit investor and ward off big corporation.



Using our hard earned cash ( fiat currency) to buy cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. In this era of digital wallet, they are trying to create a confusion for those slowly adapting cash to digital wallet.



One nasty thing that put everyone on rage was transaction cost. A cost is incurred every time you make a transaction that go through the Blockchain network. For your knowledge, the transaction cost varies. If you want a faster transaction, there is a premium price.



In current economic climate, domestic bank never charge a fee for domestic transfer.



Human makes mistakes. We bought wrong date for flight ticket. Who are going to help when we wrongly transferred 1 bitcoin equivalent to 9,000 USD ? Can we give a call to Satoshi Nakamoto or Vitalik ?



The first question is Where are all the traders accepting bitcoin or even Litecoin in the year 2020 ? Mcdonalds or even kfc ? Have they shown interest since 2009 ?



Imagine a guy with bitcoin walks to a McDonalds with all the problems mentioned above. Slow transaction, high transaction cost and even worse the bitcoin payment service is not available. What do you feel ? As if the deal is possible, it will change your price perspective, a 0.00030 for a McDonalds burger ? Then additional 0.00005 for transaction cost from you to millions of bitcoin miners out there.



Bitcoin is in mercy of innovation. Stopping it will somehow detrimental to innovative ideas.
