Your Money Your Investments: Preserving and Growing Your Wealth in Good and Tough Times

by Ben Fok

The year 2020 marks the twelfth anniversary of the 2008 global recession. In the last decade, economies were seen to have weathered the global recession relatively well. From each financial crisis experienced, there is always something to be learned. However, one of the hardest parts of investing is to have control over one’s emotions. The ups and downs in the stock market are perfectly normal and it is how an investor reacts to each of them that makes a difference in their investment strategy. Following on the success of the first edition, veteran financial adviser Dr Ben Fok offers rational, well-documented insights and tips on ways to maximise your returns for your hard-earned money. The 36 articles featured here, previously published in The Sunday Times and The Business Times, were written during the times of bull and bear markets. It serves as a timely reminder of the importance of managing your money, and in particular financial planning, understanding the investment world, and devising strategies to protect your investments.

First personal finance book read in the context of Singapore my birth country. Much more relevant to me since I earn SGD, spend SGD, so learning to invest to earn SGD in SG macro context is much more useful to me. Thank you.

Old book which was written during the recession in the early 2000s. So not very applicable to current market. But good for learning what to do in the next recession.
