Bakso I have to admit that my love for cooking is growing. It's growing and I can't believe it myself. This feeling has been like this since probably two years ago. Before, cooking felt like a hard work that I had to fulfill. It still is, but the difference is I enjoy it now. So it does not feel like I am forcing myself. Back then whenever I cooked, it's either wrong recipe or incorrect measurement. It never tasted right. So I gave up cooking just because I never found the right one. And then I started to feel that I wanna eat better. I don't want to just eat whatever, I want to know what goes into my body. If I prepare it myself, then I know it's good one. I don't eat too much sugar, sometimes it is hard to buy one thing outside and has a lot of sugar in it. So cooking it myself will allow me to control the amount of sugar. So I found recipes and I tried to make them. As to my surprise, they taste right! Exactly how they should have tasted. That made me happy

I saw so many questions of Indonesians want to know about buying stock in the US market. I never thought about it until I am involved in "taking care" of it as a part of my work.
It's not technically mine lol, it's my boss. But, that way I learned a lot about the US and Canadian markets. What we bought for the first time was Disney. DIS.NYSE. It's on NYSE, which means it is in the US market.
So, my boss is Canadian. I didn't know that he can buy stocks in the US market that easily. What a perk of being a non-Indonesian 😅 Long story short, we got our first stock. Then we buy other stocks.
Funny to see how the banking sector most of the time is so stable.
After a few months, they're having ups and downs. We have them working great but why is it seen red in our portfolio? The culprit is the currency exchange. We lost a lot in currency. We use Sharesight to check on them easily because we have them all from different markets.
It's only from Canadian Dollar to USD (and vice versa). But the loss we usually have on average is 0,5-1% of the total stocks and funds we have. It seems just a little, not even 1% but when we buy stocks we need to calculate the broker fees and everything including the currency exchange. I mean, we invest to gain some, right? Not to lose more 😑
DIS is in the US market. We bought it in the Canadian Dollar. The currency loss is around 6%
Look at the capital gain we got from Pinterest. But also the currency loss we have.
Now let's imagine if we buy US stocks with our IDR money? How much loss we're going to get? 😅 There's no way it can survive lol. Well.. it might survive but it's gonna be a lot more expensive, knowing that how unstable IDR to USD is.
So, if you have a lot of money to invest in the global market, keep in mind that you might also lose some currency along the way. That way, you have to figure out something to minimize the loss.
Have fun! 🙌
