I speak with a clear conscience. I have nothing to hide.
In Bentong, almost every family has a few acres of land to supplement his livelihood, and having two condos is no big deal either.
I treat all my readers as my friends. There is nothing wrong to let your friends know about yourself and your achievements. Only those who have dishonorable hidden agenda stay hidden.
Linking my name to the super rich is an honor. However, I really feel ashamed about it because I don’t even have 1% of what they have.
Telling your success stories to your friends is not boasting. Those who think it so have nothing to show.
Graduates have a convocation ceremony when they receive their degrees. Do you call that boasting? To me it’s is something to be proud of and a motivation to others.
In the recent downturn, if I say that I lost 1m, does that make you feel any better, demon or angel?
Upgrade yourself or downgrade your dreams. Don’t be jealous of others.

Agreed. And I find it an inspiration rather than boasting.
I don't have a million. Haha I always say this. But I believe that one could in fact trade or invest to a million. I ve seen people done that.
And "meeting" you reinforces that the dream that I have will not remain a dream.
I ll be catching up :P
Cheers!
Ben,
Agreed. To me, you did not boast. The information you shared is relevant, as it allowed me to better understand the author of this blog better. There is clearly no harm to readers here - if any reader should feel harmed, my advise to them would simply be - don't visit this blog. That's what I would tell my family and friends if they felt harmed by any blog.
If there is genuine curiousity to know why Ben disclose his personal wealth, just ask Ben directly a simple one sentence question - don't assume that Ben is boasting and then lecture Ben about other blogs. Why accuse, and lecture and create unnecessary war and friction, and divert Ben from doing what the vast majority feels are good advice?
Ben, you have my full support, and I believe the support of many of the silent readers here. Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
In recent downturn i lost more than RM90 000. I felt very down and coming to your blog help me to gain my confident.
I hope i can be as successful as you and share with my friends my achievements.
Ben,
I fully agree with Maxforce, Seng and Philip's comments. I have frequently visited your Blog and Maxforce's Blog also. Both of you have done wonderfully well with the great articles posted on your respective blogs.
Ben, I know you have a clear conscience, so, just keep up your good work and ignore the negative comments posted by people with ulterior motives.
We must always keep in mind that "what goes around, comes around"
Cheers and best regards !!!
There are 2 categories of ppl in this world that will shine more then others.He with the heart 2 teach & he with the will 2 learn.If one doesn't falls into either of these,then his life is just a waste of time for him.
Success stories are here 2 inspire,never meant 2 show off.Sad 2 know there are those who think so.Knowledge & wisdom need 2 b acquired throughout our life time.
In this world one life time is just too short 2 accomplish everything on your own.If there are those who are willing 2 show their knowledge n wisdom 2 us then a lifetime is worth two.
Mistake will always remind us and success will will always inspire us.I will always b here 2 learn as long as Ur willing to teach.It will always b my gain.
Best regard.
As a teacher I hv always reminded my students tat "Learning is a life long process " Learn from other who r willing 2 teach u.Then teach others who r willing 2 learn. But sad to say tat there r still so many bloks out there today.
Here we r trying to share :
1. How 2 win in stocks.
2. How 2 share our expertise - i.e. many head r better than one.
3. How 2 utilise gains - investing in other areas.
4. How not 2 fall into mistakes made by others with past experiences.
A job well done Ben & Max......U hv my support.
Ben,
Absolutely agreed.
I don't see any boasting nor frequent updates on amount won (sampai jadi broken record hehehe). In fact never seen that XD... Although I did accidentally come across a certain wow number in the chat (I want to do that too XD!).
Today, almost all information on a counter's FA/TA is readily available on the net. Irrespective of trader/investor, one must spend time on the analytics. In blogs one can request help to confirm analysis, or discuss/compare/share a recommendation and it's rationale. It's like a virtual forum.
Like Max, I rather be optimistic and look forward. Some of these articles give me, inspiration, hope, confidence, smile, and some a sense of virtual togetherness :)
I say keep these stories/poems/wisdoms coming and JIA YU!
Cheers...

Ben, you have my full support. Never mind with the joker trying to make fool of you and us here. Life goes on and we know you very well. No one aint shall be disturbed with the baseless allegations on you. I suggest we set up a chatbox akin to investssmart's in which registration is required for those who are keen to participate in the discussion. Max or Leremy, perhaps you could help Ben on this. Or investssmart, if you do read this. Thank you.
The support shown by all of you is greatly appreciated.
I shall remember this for a long long
time.
THANKS
Uncle Ben, eversince I know you from your blog, I have never once feel you are too proud about your success. I use your achivements as motivations. I am very glad you feel comfortable to share your personal info. It not only let me understand more about you, it also shows me how you handle the ups and downs in your investment journey.
You hv my supports Uncle Ben. Your blog is like my breakfast in the morning :P Keep on writing. I find your blog very inspiring. Thank you for your generousity to share.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for all the Wise Articles and Wise Words.
It never crossed my mind that you have been boasting.
Keep it up. Btw, I believe both Max and you have many 'fans'.
Peng
Ben i find the articles u have posted are actually the compilation of many wise investors advice and understanding.
In order to compile this idea into thoughts it will take at least 10 years of serious work.
I m amaze you can do this u are the actual Warren Buffet disciple of Msia and fortunately, willing to share with us.
