I recommend to trade Forex if your capital is small. Buying stocks not worthy unless they heavily discounted.

There is a forex thread in ssi.

I get lunch money when I was a JC kia, not much more. However, I was lucky that I did not have to work during my university days.

Just a few points to comment on your situation (you posted a lot).

1. There is more to going to university than a degree certificate. Granted, some people only want the scroll (for getting a job or promotion). However, there is more to it.

a)Firstly, it is the people whom you meet there. If you work as a professional, many of your course peers will become your contacts in the industry. From them you will also get to meet more people. Those working will tell you that many jobs are found via contacts, as well as business deals. There is a reason why people say that MBA courses are not about the course content, but the people you meet in the course.

b) The soft skills. This goes beyond what is taught in the textbook. For example, you need to give presentations, write reports, and work in teams. Those are valuable soft skills to pick up and hone. Communication skills are important in all jobs. You may find workshops offered around the campus for learning different skills. Make use of those opportunities. University level courses are also supposed to make you move beyond simply what's in the textbooks and notes. Also, improve on your analytical skill; they will serve you well anywhere (and it is not a cliche). If you enter NUS, make good use of the library and electronic resources.

Degrees are getting common even in SG, let alone in other parts of the developed world. While certain sectors do not always require a degree, many others do. Let's be frank: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates could have gotten their degrees had they wanted to; they didn't because they had a business idea that they are fully convinced to make them disregard their studies. Unless you have such a business idea, get the degree. A degree can still serve as your backup plan. Besides, if you have no capital to start with, you need it to help you earn your capital.

Find scholarships and bursaries to help fund your studies. With so much information on the internet today, finding such things are so much easier than my time.

Note: I don't know if the Nordic schools are still tuition free. The Swedes are some very good schools.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Investments involve risks. If you want near zero risks, the gains are small (eg. FD).

If you want to pick stocks, you must be prepared to lose some money anytime (cutting loose), and sometimes sit on >30% paper losses (can you sleep at night if the STI is down 50%?). You will also have to fight against selling in the middle of bull run.

If you don't want to pick stocks, just buy STI ETF. Buying ETFs is what Warren Buffett advise most retail investors to do anyway.

Thank you all for your valuable feedback and comments.

Sorry TS for diverting your thread from a stock discussion to a ??? discussion

Peace!

University is useless.

Go trade your money early. You will learn to be streetsmart and pawn local uni students any day.

Ok let's say ur birthday is on 1 Jan
Then u do ippt on 1 Jan 2016 and fail, you will need to clear 18 RT sessions by 31 Dec 2016, before your next window opens. Then on 1 Jan 2017 onwards till 31 Dec 2017, you only need to attend 1 IPPT. If you fail, you can retake IPPT, or do nothing lobo for that full year... and once your next window open, you will once again need to clear 18 RT session from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018.

That's why I said you need to clear only 18 RT sessions over 2 year period.

U have 2 years to do rt with 20 session , assume u take one year to clear 10 ( 1 Jan 2017 cleared 10 ) means by 1jan 2018 u must clear 20

THEN in 1 Jan 2017 your New cycle open ( is it ? )
Then u have 2 years for 20 session 1 Jan 2019
But in 2017 itself u have the 10 session ( owe from 2016) and another 10 ( from 2017)
Hence that's 20? In year 2017 ?

Where I simulate wrongly ?
