Investment in Gold vs Coal

These two are occupying my mind for the past few days. Hmm ... both will give me substantial profits but I m spoilt with choices due to my vast readings and knowledge. At times, being ignorant is a bliss? Like those majority around me, they don't have to use much of their brains. They dont have to think of investing and grow their wealth.

Anyway, I can't decide. Now, majority investors(a small friction of our population, actually) will go for gold as a hedge against inflation(which is inevitable, going at the rate FED and BOE printing of monies). Going at the current rate, gold will be possible to breach USD1000 level sooner or later, and hence gold-related investments could reap huge profits. That is quite a cretain.

But, as I read a lot about "Energy and Power", I find coal-mining stocks as very attractive. Yes, the arang-batu ... the main source of energy in US and China. So, assuming I m going for coal instead of Gold, then I have 5 choices in my coal-mining stocks. Which particualr one should I buy? I m still unsure ... tho ALL will surely(95% confidence interval placed) benefit.

When we are spoilt with choices, we will be in dilemma(is the spelling right?). I have Jane, June, Jine, Jene or Jone to choose from ... all are as pretty. Which one will be my choice?

That explains why I m a 'simple' person ... wanting my life as simple as possible. I simply do not know how to choose from choices. If u give me 5 cards with 5 colours and ask me to choose ONE, I will be in stress. I will choose it RANDOMLY. If you give me 2 colleges to choose from(to teach), I really don't know. Some will look at salary, conditions etc etc ... but these are TOO STRESSFUL for me to handle. So, I might end up flipping a coin!!

In short, I really dont see the difference between a chicken-rice and wan-tan-mee. At Inti, I can take ONE dish(the chicken rice at a coffee-shop) for past 5 years there and all my colleagues wonder what is so special about that chicken rice??! I just said I like it(which is half truth) ... as I dont see using my brain to choose what else to eat? At current school now, I m 'more' flexible tho I will surely go to the uncle stall and have the honey-chicken rice. I could stick to it for another 5 years?

Well ... back to coal ... YanZhao Coal, China Coal and Dynamic Energy to choose from. All with PE lower than 10 and still at very attractive values. Should I choose Dynamic Energy as it didnt have 'coal' attached to its name? So, it should move higher, right? Hmm ... hey, finally I broke the code and YES, buying Dynamic on Monday!! Phew .. finally, by blogging here, my mind cleared!! Hehe ... will buy RM10k for the beginning. OK.

陳奕迅 十年 <--- one of my fav song by Eason. This song is very meaningful to me ...


Eason Chan - Shi Nian

如果那兩面個字沒有顫抖
Ru guo na liang ge zi mei you zhan dou
我不會發現 我難受
Wo bu hui fa xian wo nan guo
怎麼說出口
Zhen me shuo chu kou
也不過是分手
Ye bu guo shi fen shou
如果對於明天沒有要求
Ru guo dui yi ming tian mei you yao qiu
牽牽手就像旅遊
Qian qian shou jiu xiang li you
成千上萬個門口
Cheng qian shang wan ge men kou
總有一個人要先走
Zhong you yi ge ren yao xian zhou

BRIDGE:
懷抱既然不能逗留
Huai bao ji ran bu neng dou liu
何不在離開的時候
He bu zai li kai de shi hou  
一邊享受 一邊淚流
Yi bian xiang shou, yi bian lei liu

CHORUS:
十年之前
Shi nian zi qian
我不認識你 你不屬於我
Wo bu ren shi ni, ni bu shu yi wo
我們還是一樣
Wo men hai shi yi yang
陪在一個陌生人左右
Pei zai yi ge mo sheng ren zhuo you
走過漸漸熟悉的街頭
Zhou guo jian jian shou xi de jie tou
十年之後
Shi nian zi hou
我們是朋友 還可以問候
Wo men shi peng you, hai ke yi wen hou
只是那種溫柔
Zhi shi na zhong wen rou
再也找不到擁抱的理由
Zai ye zhao bu dao yong bao de li you
情人最後難免淪為朋友
Qing ren zhui hou nan mian lun wei peng you

BRIDGE CHORUS

直到和你做了多年朋友
Zhi dao he ni zhuo le duo nian peng you
才明白我的眼淚
Cai ming bai wo de yan lei
不是為你而流
Bu shi wei ni er liu
也為別人而流
Ye wei bie ren er liu

Yes, you need another 10 years to see another economic downturn, and benefit from your investments. Shhh ... I m not going to wake up the humanoids tho I m sincere in helping them to gain substantially($$-sense). Never mind ... I will be back 10 years later, perhaps they will be more convince after I change my Kancil to ... hmm .. MyVi? Haha

TEH
