NTU-IIC I-Night
Intermediate Technical Analysis by Asia Charts

On 25th March 2010, the talk on Intermediate Technical Analysis was conducted to a group of NTU students by our distinguished speaker, Mr CK EE, the COO and chief trainer of Asia Charts. The objective of the talk is to allow our budding traders to know more about the aspects of technical analysis and charting indicators.

The talk was well-received by our students and AsiaCharts where many have gained new insights onto technical analysis. The talk was slightly longer than expected, lasting close to 2 hours instead of the 1.5 hours arranged. Even when the talk has ended, there was a long stream of students which approached the speaker to know more, serving as a good testament to how beneficial the talk was to the students. This is the first time AsiaCharts has collaborated with IIC and I am sure there will be future co-operations given the strong and positive response/feedback from both parties!

Investology

'It's time to get out of the rat race!' was the slogan for NTU-IIC's inaugural event, Investology, which ended on a high note on 5 February 2010. Sponsored by AIA Singapore, Star Horizon Learning, Jack's Place and The Heeren Shops, Investology is a two-pronged approach to challenge students' ability and knowledge on making sound financial decisions, through a Cashflow 101 boardgame competition and three weekly online quizzes. The Cashflow 101 competition featured the use of the Cashflow 101 board game created by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and emulates real life situations in making financial decisions that will affect one's cash flow. Players need to get out of the 'rat race' as soon as they can, by generating passive income. After ninety minutes of adrenaline-rushing action, the champion and runners-up walked away with attractive cash prizes of $500, $400 and $300 respectively, while the next seven players each received a $30 cash prize.
