Writer’s Island: Time Travel
It was 1997.
For weeks he had waited, today is the day as he watched the stock continued to tumble across Asia because of the Asian crisis. No daring soul is willing to stake their hard earned money into the market just yet. But he did the opposite.
By the end of the day, he had invested all his money as he accummulated the remaining stocks. Soon enough the stock prices, true to his prediction began to stablized. Within a year, the Singapore economy recovered and his stock rose to way above the mark that he had waited. Then he dumped his stock and earned close to a billion dollars
Earlier in 1996,
he had sold everything including his business to raised the funds after browsing through the internet. By a stroke of luck, it brought him to ratanaong blog dated 15 Feb 2008. On a page titled, Writer’s Island: Time Travel, he saw this article.
