Save up and wait for opportunity to invest in potential investments.
Stuff like fixed deposits in Singapore gives only a pathetic interest and other smaller lower risk investment isn't giving a good return either and after the financial crisis, it seems like these lower risk ones aren't that low risk after all.

Have the same thinking as choonseng. But I intend to invest in a hdb resale flat when the price is right. I am not too comfortable putting too much into equities, too much volatility. I think bricks and mortar is better for me. Hope the rental received can help offset some living expenses. Have tried investing in equities, funds, unit trusts, t-bonds & bills, fds, etc. but don't quite like them all.
Anyway, I still keep my eyes open to other kinds of investments too. Anybody has any good lobangs? Hahaha!

There is a common saying that markets are motivated by 2 things: greed and fear. All interactions in financial markets arise from a balance of these 2 emotions.

In the same manner, personal investing is a fine line treaded between these emotions. By being too safe, you are not maximizing returns and beating inflation. Be too risky, and you may end up with nothing. One strategy I heard about is to be greedy when others are afraid and quit when others are greedy.

...Is there any sense to that?

Am one of those who are poor in knowledge about investment... I only have cash, saving acct and insurance, pretty much like other Singaporeans... Losing my job last year end has really set me thinking I should learn to better manage my finance... so here i am to learn~
