Tesla Stock: To buy, sell, hold, or ignore? | VI College

Every investor would have heard of Tesla… or if you haven’t yet, for sure you’ve heard the name “Elon Musk” -- #2 on Forbes 400 world’s wealthiest list, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, and the one who recently bought social media giant Twitter.Some would argue that Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) isn’t exactly a stock for beginners, as its price point is relatively high. At US$309, Tesla is seen as overvalued at the moment. It’s not exactly a stock that beginner investors with limited capital would put their hard-earned money into, but that’s understandable.But why does Tesla stock keep dominating the news? Why do investor circles panic with just a tweet from Musk or a newly released analysis by some banking experts?With all these noises surrounding Tesla, is it wise to invest in this stock or at lea

3 Best Stocks for Hyperinflation | VI College

We’re all familiar with what inflation means, but do you know what hyperinflation is? It is a “rapid, excessive, and out-of-control general price increases in an economy.”Think of it this way: hyperinflation is the worst version of inflation. While inflation tackles the speed at how much the price of commodities is increasing, hyperinflation is the rapid spike of price increases.To better put it into context: the Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to assess the strength of the dollar. On the other hand, the CPI is a price index of more than 90,000 commodities and services.So, how, then, do we determine if inflation is high?The Federal Reserve aims to preserve a healthy inflation rate of about 2%. The economy is relatively manageable as long as general rates fall

5 Inflation-Resistant Stocks To Consider Buying | VI College

How wealthy would you say you are?Fairly enough, there are different kinds of wealth. Unfortunately, the only kind that matters in the stock market is the one that involves money. And we all know good money doesn’t come easy these days, especially with the pandemic negatively affecting global economies. As a result, you’re most likely to pay more for the goods and services you already consume.Because inflation involves the increasing of rates (did you know it’s currently at 8.6% – the highest in 40 years?!), it will become extra challenging for us to afford everyday commodities if our earnings don’t keep up.Nonetheless, financial advisors tell us that there are still a few things we can smile about. For starters, inflation-resistant stocks almost always promise bright returns. When the eco

How To Outrun Rising Inflation Rates | VI College

Inflation has been a hot topic lately. The rates have been rising for the past year and many people are worried that they'll keep going up forever now that we're recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.According to Singstat's report in November, Singapore's headline inflation rate is now at 3.8%, higher than economists' forecast of 3.4% and 0.6% more than October's previous high of 3.2%.In another article published in early January by Bloomberg, it is reported that the US inflation has hit a 39-year high at 7%! Subscriptions like Netflix and Peloton also announced recently that they will be increasing their prices in 2022.So, what exactly is inflation?

5 Tips for a Comfortable Retirement in Singapore | VI College

They say retirement is just like a never-ending vacation. Ideally, it is. But some of us get caught in the “vacation” part in the early months of retirement and eventually lose the means to enjoy the rest of the decade or two as a retiree.Most seniors in Singapore fail to understand that retirement is also a journey that requires money-- and a huge sum at that, considering we live in one of the world's most expensive countries.In 2019, The Straits Times found that a typical retired Singaporean needs at least $1,379 per month for his basic needs, not considering leisure activities and living upgrades. This amount will still go up over time because of inflation (roughly at 3 to 4%). So who says retirement in Singapore is cheap?Some would argue that CPF could help. But do you really

5 Stocks Parents Know | VI College

Out of all the "coffee shop talk" that we hear when the aunties and uncles gather, one of the most-discussed questions is probably "what stock to buy ah?"Then stock names will be dropped: oil companies, pharmaceutical companies that no one has ever heard of, or upcoming IPOs, mostly "hearsay" or "hot tips" from their friends.And this has always been the weird part for me: With most of these people being parents, it never occurred to anyone to discuss the common stocks parents know.It is right under their noses and yet they choose obscure stocks that are far away and they can't physically see. Or maybe to them, it is much cooler to invest in things like oil and pills compared to diapers?Parents always look for a great deal on things for their children.

3 Ways to Start Earning Passive Income | VI College

Imagine doing something once and getting paid for it every month. Wouldn’t it be something you’re dreaming of?

Now, who wouldn’t want that?Let money work for youRobert Kiyosaki, the author of the all-time bestsellerRich Dad, Poor Dad once said: “Don’t work for money, let money work for you.”We used to think having a stable job is the ultimate measure of fulfilment... and well, having money to buy what we need and what we want.
