Confusing NTUC Union Membership Application

When you apply NTUC union membership via the SISEU portal, you are not entitled to the OTO Spinal Support gift even if you pay for the 6 months fees.

Receive a FREE OTO Spinal Support worth $238 when you pay 6 months membership fees and arrange credit/debit card recurring payment.

Instead, you have to apply via the NTUC union main link.

They never mention this when you apply via the SISEU portal but the end result is that you still received the same white NTUC union card.

So, people who apply via SISEU portal feel some sort cheated.  So, does the is NTUC union help on this matter?

Very strange right.

Don’t Be Forced To Sell Because of the Price

The Intelligent Investor
This is one of my favourite line from chapter 8 of TII:

“But note this important fact: The true investor scarcely ever is forced to sell his shares, and at all other times he is free to disregard the current price quotation. He need pay attention to it and act upon it only to the extent that it suits his book, and no more.* Thus the investor who permits himself to be stampeded or unduly worried by unjustified market declines in his holdings is perversely transforming his basic advantage into a basic disadvantage. That man would be better off if his stocks had no market quotation at all, for he would then be spared the mental anguish caused him by other persons’ mistakes of judgment.”

In short, don’t be forced to sell because of the price!

Full Tank vs Fill Ten

The recent hot topic in social media is regarding the BMW driver in a Caltex petrol kiosk.  I do not know who is right or wrong but I think people are angry with the BMW driver who is supposed to be the richer one vs the poorer elderly pump attendant who had to fork the differences.   If the BMW driver were to fork out the 125 SGD, it is still small amount to him vs the poor elderly man.  This is like the old Robin Hood story in modern time.
