My Investing Strategy for 2012 [ February 5th, 2012 ] | 214 views | Leave a Comment

Although the market outlook is uncertain due to the European debt crisis but I will also plan to make minimal stock investments. I will only invest my savings in high yield dividend stocks when the market plunges. I think property is the best hedge against inflation. Therefore, I will invest in a medium cost apartment soon. Besides, gold is another option to preserve our money and diversify our portfolio. It would be great if you can plan to allocate some funds for gold of 20g to 50g.

My recent strategy is to invest for income and capital preservation in view of the market volatility. For my unit trust investment, I will try to diversify by allocating one third of my portfolio into medium term aggressive fund.

Do You Think RM50 Credit Card Tax Should Be Dropped?

As we can see, the number of credit cards usage had been increased since year 1997. At the same time, the number of people get into debt also been increased. Our government had responded to that issue and proposes that principal credit card service tax of RM50 per year and supplementary credit card service tax of RM25 per year be imposed in order to encourage our citizen to have prudent spending. It will be effective from 1st January 2010.

Many people are not happy with that suggestion. This is bad news for those who own multiple credit cards and it is advisable to do cancellation of their card so that they won’t be taxed next year. Just imagine how crazy of our government: RM50 (service tax) + RM50 (annual fee usually more than that amount), this is only for single card. If you have more, the amount will be crazy!

However, this service tax will not be imposed immediately on January 2010 for all credit cards. For those existing credit card holders and their renewal date is at the end of the years. Then, they still got time to enjoy benefits.
