I read a blog today, and I learnt something new.

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.

But—- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It’s called the  401-Keg.

I find it rather true. Thats why we should always invest the right way. It’s easy to say, but what’s right?

If you bought stocks of Cosco Corp (COS:SP[bloomberg]/F83.SI) for some long term investments, you wouldn’t want to just retire so soon.In the past 1 year, Cosco has performed weaker than the Straits Times Index.

I’m still trying to learn a lot about the stock market, and different instruments to make more money. Share with me your comments and let’s learn together.

After blogging about my previous web host being slow, I’ve subscribed for another web hosting package for this blog to run smoothly. For the past few days, I’ve been working on this blog to ensure that the web hosting migration will be smooth.

Migration is now done for felixker.com and from now till June next year, this blog will be hosted with FRRO.

Do comment and let me know if anything here isn’t working well. And also, don’t forget to tell me how you feel about this blog.

I’m looking for semi-budget web hosting or VPS. It’ll require around 5-50GB of bandwidth monthly. As for disc space, we’ll go with 1GB to 10GB. Preferred server location: Singapore/Malaysia.

Currently I’m on a web hosting that gave me 97.144 uptime and it’s real bad. It’s often facing downtime at weekends or at peak hours. Uptime for August is 96% although August has yet to end. It’s very bad.

I’m not going to list any budget now, but I hope prices can be as low as possible.

Anyone has any hosting firms to recommend? Contactable via Comments/Email – felix (aatt) ker . sg (aatt = @)

P.S Currently I’ve got Skydio for my own blog. They’re quality (99.9% or 100%), but they’re too costly for another site!
