Hi Guys,

I have An Investment Approach I which I would like to all.

Dear friends in i3 Forum

Today is Sunday again! I love the LORD's Day.

On this day God rested after creating the world in six days.

Yes!! According to the Bible God created this world. And man being the Apex of God's creation was made on the sixth day.

And let us now look deeper to see how man was first created

26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
 
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
 
God made everything else by calling them into existence. But in the creation of man God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. This is not just physical. This is the impartation of the soul-life. The life that is totally different from all other animals
 
That is why man is distinctly different from animals. At death the spirit of the animal ceases to exist whereas the soul of man continues to exist although his body might decay and perish.
 
See

Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?"

 

So this is it

Man was made in God's Image. Made with an eternal soul that will exist even after physical death.

That is why it is very vital that we should seek to be secured in the world to come which is eternal life or eternal death.

And listen to the words of Jesus Christ

 

King James Bible

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

 

CS Lewis once said. Take a sheet of paper and now draw a straight line on it. And imagine that the 4 ends of the paper stretch to infinity. Then imagine that the line drawn expresses the length of time. Say 70 years, 80 years or 100 years.

 

That is how short our time of physical existence on planet earth in camparison to eternity.

What is 70 years or even 100 years in comparison to a million years or a thousand million years?

Yes. How short is our life on earth. And how long is eternity or as the Bible says, FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING"

Now according to God's word man has fallen into sin when he disobeyed God's command right in the garden of Eden. Man by nature is fallen.

That is the reason for a Saviour

All men through Adam & Eve are now polluted with sin. Only a New Life From God will be the Solution.

So God sent His Son

Ha! How can God has a Son?

Yes! Look at the very words of God during creation

 

26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
 
Read again
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have 
Ha! here is found in the Jewish word for God. God is not singular but a compound. THE GODHEAD IS OF 3 PERSONS: GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON & GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
ALL THREE ARE ONE: OF SAME SUBSTANCE = AND ARE CO-EQUAL IN POWER
One day God sent His Son Jesus Christ to be born of a virgin (without sin)
 

Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
 
WHO IS JESUS?
 
A Religious Teacher like Buddha, Mohammad, Confucius or Krisna?
 
No! No! No!
 
JESUS IS GOD THE VERY GOD WHO BECAME MAN THE VERY MAN TO DIE FOR ALL MANKIND!!
 
See
 
King James Bible
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
 
In Genesis there was creation[ God made Adam. Then indirect creation: God took a rib from Adam and formed Eve. Then reproduction: from which all mankind come into being.
 
JESUS WAS DIFFERENT.
 
JESUS CAME BY INCARNATION THROUGH THE VIRGIN BIRTH!!!
 
All the descendants of Adam being a fallen man has fallen nature. Only Jesus Christ is born with a sinless pure nature just like Adam was pure & innocent.
 
Adam was tempted but fell into sin. Jesus was also tempted by the devil for 40 days but Jesus prevailed & passed.
 
THAT IS WHY JESUS IS NOT JUST A TEACHER. HIS LIFE WAS GIVEN AS THE SUPREME SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF ALL MEN & WOMEN
 
In human man made religion there is sacrifices. BUT IN CHRISTIANITY CHRIST IS ONCE OFFERED FOR ALL OUR SINS FROM ETERNITY TO ETERNITY AS "THE LAMB SLAINED  FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD"
 
All the ceremonial laws of the Jews from wearing veil to the eating of halal foods point to a problem. They only have problems after problems of finding and groping for answers in darkness
 
ONLY IN JESUS IS LIGHT LIFE AND THE SOLUTION!!!
 
Why halal & non halal?
 
An animal like chicken or goat (pig is forbidden in Jewish law because this animal chew the cud but don't part the hoof like a cow or goat).
 
And the killing of chicken or goat must be strictly observed. How? They make incision on the necks of the bird or animal and made sure that every drop of blood is drained out completely!!!
 
Why blood must be drained out completely?
 
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD!
 
Yes! Life is in the blood. Even Christians should not eat blood on its own
 
See
 

Acts 15:29 (CJB) to abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these, you will be doing the right thing. Shalom!

WHY DID THE BIBLE SPECIFY SO CLEARLY ABOUT NOT EATING BLOOD?

 

Because Blood is Life

King James Bible
For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

 

BUT GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR THIS

WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO TELL US?

GOD IS TELLING US THIS

 

ONE DAY HE WILL SEND HIS SIN JESUS CHRIST TO DIE FOR ALL MANKIND

AND JESUS DID JUST THAT

ON THE CROSS HIS HANDS & FEET WERE PIERCED WITH NAILS. HIS HEAD WAS CROWNED WITH THORNS

ALL HIS HOLY (MOST HALAL) BLOOD FLOWED OUT FROM HIS BODY.

THIS VERY PRECIOUS HOLY (HALAL) BLOOD IS THE SOLUTION!!

THE SOLUTION OF PAYING FOR ALL OUR SINS. (No need to good deeds to get good karma)

JESUS PAID IT ALL!!

THE FREEDOM FROM THE POWER OF THE DEVIL AND FROM THE POWER OF SIN

THE SOLUTION OF HAVING PERFECT PEACE WITH GOD

 

AND ABOVE ALL THE COMPLETE FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND THE COMING OF NEW LIFE INTO HIM BY GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

YES!! MAN GETS BACK TO HIS PLACE OF ORIGIN

 

MAN WAS A DIVINE BEING COMING INTO THIS WORLD FOR A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE WHEN GOD IMPARTED HIS BREATH INTO MAN (MADE FROM (DUST) SOIL OF THE EARTH)

 

MAN IS NOT JUST A HUMAN BEING SEEKING TO BE DIVINE. GOD MADE US. WE GONE ASTRAY. SO GOD SAVED US AGAIN THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

 

There was once a small boy living beside a small river. One day he decided to make a toy boat. Happily he put it upstream & chased it as it floated downstream. But to his dismay the water current was too strong & he could not catch up and so lost his boat.

While going to town one day he saw his little boat on display in a shop window. He rushed in and demanded that it be given back to him.

But the shop keeper said, "I bought this boat from someone. If you want you have to pay me a certain sum of money"

Undaunted the boy went home. Worked and worked till he saved enough to buy that that lost boat.

Holding it in his hands he said, "Little boat. I made you. Now I bought you. You are twice mine".

 

Yes!!! Jesus paid it all. All to him I owe

 

Jesus Paid it All
I hear the savior say, thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me thine all in all
'Cause Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow
Lord, now indeed I find thy power and thine alone
Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone
'Cause Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
My sin had left this crimson stain, he washed it white as snow
It's washed away, all my sin
And all my shame
And when before the throne I stand in him complete
"Jesus died my soul to save" my lips shall still repeat
Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
(Sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow)
(He washed it white as snow)
(O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised
 
AMEN & AMEN!!
 
WARMEST REGARDS
 
Calvin

datuk now what stock to buy?

2018-08-05 13:33

Good afternoon

Cheoky

Go in the direction of Tun Dr M. There are three.


1) NUMBER ONE IS INTERNET & CYBERSPACE

Tun Dr. M likes IT & so he started Cyberjaya. His son Mukhriz started Opcom

So Tun Dr M instructed Gobin to give every home Internet connection just like essential utilities = water & electricity

WATER AND ELECTRICITY ARE NECESSITIES SINCE ANCIENT TIMES. When Israel captured Canaan few 4 thousand years ago they made their captives

drawers of water and hewers of wood

See
Berean Study Bible
Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”

BUT INTERNET CONNECTION IS A NECESSITY TODAY

So these stocks will be good

Telekom (owns the largest fiber optic & also fixed line phones)
Opcom (More purchases in coming years. But price now quite high)
ECS ICT (Provider of Computers and IT products)
Complete Logistic (ECommerce will replace conventional shopping)
Inari/Insas (Manufactures Optic fiber connectors)

In Spore SME now using Ecommerce to export their goods
See https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/sme/e-commerce-propels-singapore-smes-to-lead-apac-exporters


And Malaysia has Jack Ma help for export. So this will be our future growth direction.

2) NUMBER 2 IS CARS AND MORE CAR RELATED COMPANIES.

Another cluster of growth will revovle around Tun Dr M penchant for his love of Cars. See he drove Proton Perdana himself
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/video-of-malaysian-pm-mahathir-driving-proton-perdana-goes-viral

So the focus will most probably be in Proton City & Tanjung Malim
Stocks like DRB (already up a lot), Mj Perak, L&G, Talam will be good longer term. No need to hurry buying. If cheap just nibble some.


3) NUMBER 3 IS THE NEW GOLDEN GROWTH TRIANGLE OF PENANG, KEDAH & LANGKAWI

TUN DR M IS MP FOR LANGKAWI
MUKHRIZ IS MP FOR KEDAH
ANWAR IBRAHIM FROM PENANG MAINLAND PERMATANG PAUH
LIM GUAN ENG (Finance Minister) was once Penang Chief Minister

So the Big Guns of PH are all here in this Northern Golden Triangle
Tambun is a good stock which I gave buy call at 80 sen. Now already up 30% (if dividend included) So please don't chase ok?

Hmmm? What to buy then? Still studying. Any one from Penang can share some good companies with prospect up there?

don't waste time read bible la... it's more important to learn how to make money to survive or live a better life...

learn from Duit, he guide us how to make money from HSI...


THIS IS A NORMAL WAY OF LIVING BY MOST PEOPLE WITHOUT GOD

But GOD Already Knows

Listen to the Words of Jesus

Do Not Be Anxious

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?7 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and our heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Calvin comments:

In the beginning Man need not work. Man was made perfect in a perfect world. Then man sinned & so he has to earn his living by the sweat of his brow now.

But Jesus came to restore our broken relationship back with God

So now He tells us to seek God first. Ask, seek & knock on God's door by prayer & all that we need will be provided for.

God being God will answer all His children's prayers

FamousAmos sold his creation away

You better don't sell your soul away ok?

Wallace "Wally" Amos was born in Tallahassee, Florida, USA July 1, 1936. In 1948 he moved to New York City to live with his aunt where they often baked cookies together.[2] As an adult, Amos, an Air Force veteran who worked as a talent agent with the William Morris Agency, would send his home-baked chocolate chip cookies to celebrities to entice them to meet and perhaps sign a deal with his agency. Amos hit a plateau working for the William Morris Agency and decided to strike out on his own.

On March 10, 1975, Amos took the advice of some friends, and with $25,000 from singers Marvin Gaye and Helen Reddy,[3] he opened a cookie store at 7181 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, naming it "Famous Amos".[1] In the first year he sold $300,000 worth of cookies, followed by more than $1,000,000 in sales in the store's second year of operation. By 1982 the company's revenues reached $12 million.[3]

The store proved so popular that the "Famous Amos" brand eventually branched out to sell cookies in supermarkets, a move that would later be emulated by other specialty stores such as Baskin-Robbins, T.G.I. Fridays, and Starbucks.

However, by 1984 sales had begun to slow and Amos started to sell parts of the business.[4] In March of the following year, Amos sold 51% interest to Bass Brothers Enterprises in an attempt to salvage the business.[5] That year the company had lost $300,000 as revenues slipped to $10 million. Investors got involved to try to stop the downward spiral, but according to Amos, they took more of an equity stake each time and did not stay long enough to get the company back on track. By August 1985, Bass Brothers had sold a majority share to an investor group, who planned a major expansion.[6] By 1988 the company lost $2.5 million. That year the Shansby Group purchased Famous Amos for $3 million. After one year as a paid spokesman for his sold company, Amos quit in frustration.[3]
