Clearly you dont understand their Balance sheets.. It could mean that they use their profit and reinvest in their business right? Any signs that their revenues are slowing?

Hi, I’m a beginner investor. I still do not understand the concept of ETF and how much money should I put in every month. Is it a must to put money every month?

Does it make more financial sense to purchase a COE car (Cars renewed for 5 years, but i get no money back) or a newer car that allows me to get back the PARF value?
