Today I was attending the CFA Level III course at the Kasturi College at Menara Plaza First Nationwide. During the class, one of the classmates mentioned that when he was parking his car in the car park of Menara Plaza First Nationwide, he noticed a Ferrari sport car was parked inside the car park as well. So he further inquired in the class whether it was the lecturer’s car. Immediately the lecturer’s denied he drove car come to work lah cuz he used to ride motorcycle come to lecture (I think the lecturer was very humble cuz he is a brilliant and knowledgeable fellow who can earn enough to afford a luxury car).
In order to further prove that he has no sport car, the lecturer said that the car could be possible belong to Tan Teng Boo as he is the one most qualified to own a good car in this building (Note: TTB’s office of Capital Dynamics is located at the same building of Menara Plaza First Nationwide at floors 16 and 17 which I have visited before). So I assume that TTB was driving his sport car to work at the office on Sunday, then it is a good news to the ICAP’s shareowners that the FM is so hardworking and productive as he even works on holiday.
By the way, I remembered last time TTB was used to drive a Lotus sport car. Maybe now he buys a more stylish one after last year the bull run (he also opened more news offices during the crisis). Hope he can drive safe and thus the ICAP shareowners can sleep well with his good health condition...^_^!!
Kin Wing,
ReplyDeleteI believe Tan Teng Boo likes Porsche a lot (he still likes the shares, as he still buying more of Porsche shares).
Why not he buy Porsche car then? Is it Porsche car is not up to his standard?

Haha, since it was a rumour, just let me bluff some more over here.
ReplyDeleteThere are few possibilities to explain who is the sport car owner:-
1) My classmate could be a non-sport car fan. So he might not be able to differentiate what is Porsche and Ferrari. So the sport car he saw could be Porsche but he thought it was a Ferarri.
2) TTB could might have bought several sporty cars include Porsche and Lotus, and that day he drove the Ferrari come to work at the office.
3) The Ferarri car could be possible belong to the lecturer though he was denying straight away when his student asked him about the car owner. Cuz I am abit suspicious abut his denial, mb he dun wan other ppl know he is rich. But ppl drive sport car, they should prepare to know this will happen mah?
OK, next time, ask him to take a picture.
ReplyDeleteThis serves as a motivation to all of us.
Hopefully, after getting your CFA III, you can get your Porsche soon.

I think CFA is just a way of learning but not necessary can make me rich enuf to buy a luxury car. I think the strategy of investing such as Value Investing and the entrepreneur skill are more important factor to be rich. Some times nerdish academician is too obsessed into theory without a practical application of investment. I know some of my CFA friends dun even invest any counter cuz they are afraid of risk, unbelievable!!!
