6:00am: Another day began and I engaged in my customary early morning meditation program. 7:00am: The financial world persisted beyond yesterday’s horizon. Checked out a dozen of my favorite charts. The bullish market action so far this year has probably surprised the gloom and doomers always looking for another crash. 8:00am: Is the worst over for…

Be prepared for a pullback
Most risk assets have been having a good year, in anticipation of rate cuts and monetary inflation. Don’t laugh. A fund manager told me that his team are so far behind their benchmarks and under tremendous stress since late October last year that only a total meltdown would offer a relief. He has remained in…
Exploring Surya Namaskar
One of the things that meditators do every day is performing Surya Namaskar before each meditation session.

Yogis can fly!
People have diverse beliefs and perspectives. I usually avoid engaging in arguments or debates about certain things especially personal beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions or positions, and it is okay to agree to disagree. I find more value sharing my experiences or insights with those who are open or positive to what…

Well, certain people may perceive the TM program as religious rather than scientific due to its association with terms like “meditation,” “pure awareness,” and “transcendence,” or because it was introduced from India by a teacher with a monastic background.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have presented at several private meetings for investors and urged them to think outside the mainstream. No obligation and lengthy sales pitch. With each session triggering a flood of requests for additional meetings. Up until now this year, a significant portion of my time has been spent in…
Beware of extreme volatility
Just look at that chart. They are going to all-time highs. What a surprise for those who have been critical of the digital asset sector. The sector has begun the year with the wind in its sails, with better performance across the industry and a regulatory breakthrough in the US. Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds were approved in the US…
Rise from the Ashes
In my discussions with local investors, I consistently field inquiries regarding my views on Malaysia’s long-term prospects, steering clear of the intricate economic terminology meant to bewilder voters. Utilizing a metaphorical time machine, I transport them to the year 2035 to offer a firsthand glimpse into the country’s future. Malaysia once a beacon of political…
