My New Side Business - Jakarta Yacht Club: Charter & Travel Service

People who have been reading my blog know I love doing new businesses. I have created many sides hustle businesses since I have a passion for creating them. Recently, I decided I wanted to do something about the yachts that my dad owns.

Similar to this blog you are reading right now, Jakarta Yacht Club is aimed at people who are interested in the yachting world.
 
Jakarta Yacht Club is a new blog and website that provides content for readers about the yachting world. I believe starting a new business in this niche is perfect for me. I have created a dedicated website and blog for this business all by myself. Luckily, I have many skills when it comes to creating a new website. Because of this, I didn’t have to hire anyone to make the things I have created. In this blog post, I will explain why I decided to start this blog and business. Moreover, I will explain how this new business is going to generate cash flow for me and how I can monetize this business.

Why I'm Buying More of Pfizer Inc. Stocks

My last article on Pfizer Inc. (Ticker: PFE) was back in October 2020, titled "Why Pfizer Stock is a Great Buy Now." I have Pfizer Inc. stocks in my portfolio, and it is one of my largest positions. My average purchase cost in Pfizer Inc. is about $35.25, and I own 3,975 shares of this stock, making it 14.28% weighted from my overall portfolio.

If you are not familiar with Pfizer Inc., the company develops, manufactures, and sells healthcare products worldwide. The company is responsible for the vaccine for the Covid-19 virus. The company's stock price has fallen by 7%, from the $37-38 range to the current $34.72 close on February 13, 2021. I am thrilled when I see a company I like to go down in value. This allows me to purchase more shares of the company at a discount price. This article will explain why I am purchasing more Pfizer Inc. (Ticker: PFE) stocks into my portfolio. Moreover, I believe the fallen price is an excellent opportunity for me to get a great bargain for shares of the company.   

I Am Working as a Property Sales Agent

I am now working as a property sales agent in my friend's property agent company, Prop2Go. My friend, Stanley Yap, is the founder of the company. The business is operating in Jakarta, Indonesia, and it has been running for quite some time already. I know that this blog is based on the international market; however, working as a property agent has a niche related to this blog.
 
As a property agent, I am required to get my name out there so that the public know that I am a property agent. I want to become a successful property agent in this company, and hopefully, I can gain some valuable lessons from this. This article will explain why I decided to become a property agent and my strategy of becoming one. This article's primary purpose is to broadcast to the public about my new job position as a property agent. 

Intel is Looking Very Interesting for Value and Dividend Investor

Intel Corporation (Ticker: INTC) has been in the news lately, and most of the news was bad. The worst news is such as process delays or perceived threats to Intel's business model. In 2020, the stock dropped by 17%, whiled the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indices rose by 15% and 45%, respectively. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (Ticker: AMD) and Nvidia (Ticker: NVDA), Intel's biggest rivals, rose by 90% and 120%, respectively. Many Wall Street analysts have written how Intel is no longer a viable investment.

I have seen Intel's stock price dropped significantly, which has made me curious about the company. I decided to do my research on Intel and discover that it is an excellent opportunity for value and dividend investors to purchase the stock when undervalued.
 
I believe that, overall, the market is too bearish on Intel for now and that the company's shares offer considerable upside potential over the coming years, mainly thanks to a very low valuation. Intel also has access to very low-cost debt thanks to a strong balance sheet. In this article, I will write about what's happening with Intel stock and why it is an excellent stock to purchase for a long-term investment. The stock fundamental is very attractive, which has led me to want to invest when I have extra spare cash in my portfolio account.

Why You Should Ignore Market Noise When Investing in the Stock Market

The stock market is always reacting to recent market news. The price of stocks can go up and down every single day from current news that’s happening. Warren Buffett famously said that like dieting, successful investing is far easier to understand than to accomplish. This is because it requires discipline. However, many investors did not realize that they are always affected by market news from various outlets. They are impacted by the market noises that are happening in the stock market. Market noise has become appreciably louder for most consumers since the internet has become widely available. 

If you are still new to the stock investing world, you need to read this article. Many amateur investors fall into this market noise trap. In this blog content, I will explain what market noise is and what causes the market noise to occur? Lastly, investors should ignore it and use this market fluctuation to their advantage when investing in the stock market.  

 

Why Living in Indonesia is an Advantage for Me to Build Wealth

Jakarta, Indonesia, is my hometown. This is the country where I was born. However, I was mostly overseas, living in Singapore and the United States when I was young. It was a privilege for me to receive my education from developed countries. If it wasn't because of my father working hard, I wouldn't get this kind of opportunity.

After graduating from San Francisco State University with a finance major, I decided to move back to Jakarta, Indonesia, to pursue my career. I did regret coming back too soon since I wasn't making the kind of income I was hoping for. I should have tried to apply for a job in the United States after graduating from university.

 

It has been almost 8 years since I moved back to Jakarta, Indonesia. I did think about how my life would be if I had stayed in the United States instead of moving back to Jakarta, Indonesia. I know I could have earned and accumulated wealth if I had a decent paying job in the United States. However, after doing some critical thinking and comparison, I concluded that deciding to move back to Jakarta was the right thing for me to do.

 

I know working in my father's company doesn't generate much income for me. I could have made a better wage if I was working in the United States. However, I believe living in Jakarta, Indonesia has its own advantage for me. Despite earning a meager income, living in Jakarta, Indonesia, is still perfect for building my own personal wealth. In this article, I will explain why living in Jakarta, Indonesia is excellent for me to build my own personal wealth. Moreover, I'll explain why moving back to my hometown is the right thing for me to do.

 

The Janitor Who Became a Multi-Millionaire By Retirement

We always portray someone who is a multi-millionaire to have lavish lifestyles. Usually, we think they live in a big mansion, drives a nice sports car, and own many other expensive things. Moreover, we often believe that to become a multi-millionaire, you need to have a high-paying job such as becoming a CEO, Doctor, or Lawyer.

I was also naïve when I was still young. I always thought that to become a multi-millionaire, you need to make a lot of money. However, did you know that to become a multi-millionaire does not require many of these traits? You will be surprised to find out that you do not need to earn a massive paycheck to become a millionaire. In this article, I want to tell the story of a Vermont-based janitor and gas station attendant name Ronald Read who secretly amassed multi-million-dollar wealth. I will explain how he did it and how we can apply it in our life as well.

Altria Group Inc. (Ticker: MO) has been a stock that I have been monitoring for quite some time. I have stocks of this company in my dividend growth portfolio. Suppose you have no idea what Altria is all about. In that case, this company is an American company that is one of the world's largest producers and marketers of tobacco, cigarettes, and related products. I did a stock analysis report on this company that I have posted in this blog. When I wrote that report, its stock was trading at a $50 to $55 range. The company is recently trading in the $39 to $41 range as of (November 11, 2020). I have incurred unrealized loss for holding this company in my portfolio; however, this does not stop me from believing in this company.

This stock has the potential for even more significant capital gains and total shareholder returns if valuations normalize. It is a strong investment opportunity, and recent price weakness presents a compelling entry point for new investors to enter. This blog post will explain why Altria Group Inc. (Ticker: MO) is an outstanding stock to invest in now. I love the high dividend yield this stock provides, and it can be an opportunity for new investors to enter.

How I Became a Millionaire by the Age of Thirty

I have become a millionaire by the age of thirty. Yes, you read it right, a Millionaire! I am delighted and content about this achievement since I actually made it without asking my dad for more capital. In total, my dad only let me inherited $200,000 for my U.S. portfolio and approximately about $150,000 for my Indonesian portfolio. So technically, I started with a total of $350,000 that was given by my dad. It's indeed a large amount of money that was given to me. However, I grew it to over a million dollars with living below my mean and being consistent and disciplined, investing in the stock market.
 
I'm thrilled that I could become a millionaire with the low wage I'm getting for working in my dad's company. Each month, I receive Rp25,000,000 for my paycheck. That's approximately about $1,778 if converted to U.S. dollar (November 17, 2020). The amount can still fluctuate since the currencies always change every trading day. My wage is considered a lot in Indonesia; however, if you compare it with the United States wage, it's really low.
 
Despite my low income, I was able to become a millionaire by the age of thirty. I believe anyone out there can also become a millionaire if they are willing to learn and manage their personal finance well. Becoming a millionaire is not as hard as you think it is. Anyone can achieve it if they put the work and dedication to it. In this article, I will share what I did to reach millionaire status by thirty. Most of my personal wealth is invested in the stock market; I will show my assets. Moreover, I will explain how you can do it too.
 

Why Did Warren Buffett Invest Heavily in Coca-Cola in the Late 1980s?

I have been a fan of Warren Buffett since the beginning of my investment journey. I knew about Warren Buffett from my older brother, Peter Bun. My brother was the one that introduces Warren Buffett to me. Warren Buffett was someone I idolized. I was amazed by his investment skills that led him to become the world's legendary stock investor. He was not only one of the wealthiest people in the world but also a great teacher. Warren Buffett wasn't stingy about his investment techniques and liked to share how he did it to the public.

 
His success made me interested in following his teachings and the advice he tells the public. I like how Warren Buffett picks his investment. He always chooses companies that are very easy to understand but has a great business. One of the most significant investments that led him to become wealthy was Coca-Cola Inc. (Ticker: KO). This purchase was made back in the 1980s and was one of his top holding in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. He bought more than $1 billion of Coca-Cola Inc. shares in 1988, equivalent to 6.2% of the company. This turned out to be one of Berkshire's most lucrative investments.
 
Even today, Warren Buffett still holds Coca-Cola Inc. stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. He didn't sell it and planned to hold it for a long time. Coca-Cola Inc.'s stock price has increased in value since his purchase in the 1980s. Warren Buffett had become wealthy because of making this smart investment pick. Because of this success, it made me curious about why he decided to invest in Coca-Cola Inc. in 1987. I decided to research as to why he did it and how I can use this as an example for my next investment purchase. I will explain why Warren Buffett decided to invest most of Berkshire Hathaway's cash balance in Coca-Cola Inc in this post. This post content will demonstrate and teach you guys how we can replicate Warren Buffett's investment ideology. 
 

Want to Learn about Stock Investing & Build Wealth: 9 Reasons Why You Should Buy My Book that I'm Soon Going to Release

I have been a dividend growth investor for quite some time already. It has been a few years since I have started the portfolio and this blog. If you readers have been following my blog, you probably know that I have done pretty well in stock investing. Through discipline saving and investing, I became a millionaire on my own (not dad's wealth) at the age of thirty. I do not acquire any debt in my life and have built my personal wealth just from living below my mean and religiously investing most of my income. Moreover, I didn't reach millionaire status because I have a high-income paying job, but from managing my personal finance really well and always investing my money in the stock market.

Because I felt I made a tremendous financial achievement at the age of thirty, I felt that I wanted to share the knowledge and information with the world. I felt that many people out there are not managing their personal finance wisely and have no plan at all for their retirement. During my free time, I wrote my own book about building wealth through dividend growth investing & creating new income streams. The book's title is called "Snowball from Zero," but this is still a prototype, and changes might be applied.

I have not finished writing the book yet, but I am currently halfway through writing. So far, I have written approximately close to fifty pages, and believe I still have many things I want to write. I have designed the book front and back cover, but I might still want to edit it. My goal is to have the book finish written by the end of 2021. Hopefully, I can finish writing and have it published at that time.

The book I'm currently working on is intended for the people out there to learn basic building wealth through dividend growth investing. Moreover, it also teaches people new ways of creating a new stream of income. I really believe that the book I plan to have published is excellent for anyone curious about building wealth and stock investing. It is great for beginners and someone who already has some understanding.
 
I am really confident the book I am currently working on can help people learn the things I'm already implementing in my life. Whatever I am covering in my book is the knowledge and experience I have gone through to create the personal wealth I have right now. Yes, I have received quite a large sum of starting capital from my dad from investing in the stock market; however, I believe this book can help anyone out there start building wealth starting from zero. I want to be able to help others reach the financial freedom that many dreams of. Also, there are many things that the book covers, creating new sources of alternative income. Some of these methods are things I am also currently working on in my life. It might not pay much money now; but, I will explain the potential revenue from working on these side projects.  
 
Once I finished writing the book, I am planning to have it publish and sold. I am not planning to price it at a high price, but at a meager and affordable price. I don't want to make a lot of money from selling this book because my real intention is for people to learn how to build wealth through stock investing. Also, I want people to know and learn about the side-projects I am working on that can potentially make me a good income aside from working in my dad's company. In this blog post, I want to explain why purchasing my book is beneficial for readers out there to learn about building wealth and stock investing. Moreover, the book also covers the things you can do to create a new stream of income. Buying my book is value for the money, and it is something you should not avoid before starting investing in the stock market.
