WELCOME

Welcome to JDouglas Resource

One of the most precious and invaluable things in life is our 'insight' and 'memory'. And for this reason, I dedicate this blog as a channel to express my own insights and memories on my area of interest.

Among the things that I have great interest are self-improvement, motivation, stock market, photography and employment matters. There are so many information in the internet nowadays that goes unnoticed. However, I'm not trying to be a news center or what, but I'm just expressing my point of view.

To dear friends and general public, you are welcome to post any articles or comments in this blog. However, if any of the articles are deemed harmful or unsuitable for public viewing, it will be remove upon discovery.

So, as we traverse this journey of life, no matter how small our contribution to our community or our beloved nation, it is a good cause for humanity.

Let us assume that you have invested RM1,000.00 in a unit trust fund. Then subsequently and systematically you invest RM150 per month in the same fund for about a year. Your total amount of investment is RM2,650.00 and you have acquired an asset of 9566.48 units valued at RM0.294 per unit as of 8 July 2010. The value of unit changes from time to time. If the value increase to RM0.30 in the following month, then the asset value will be RM2,869.94. That give you unrealized profits of RM219.94.
If you decided to sell one third (1/3) or 3000 units at the price of RM0.30, then you will get cash in hand of RM900.00. There are still a balance of 6,566.48 unit in the fund. Doing this again and again over many years, you will eventually acquired a steady flow of income and building up a promising liquid asset.
