Fonds Communs de Placement

L'histoire est continue au sujet d'investissement. Ce temps est fonds communs de placement. Fond communs de placement est appele mutual fund aux Etats-Unis. Il est aappele interest fund en Grand-Bretagne. Bien qu'il soit connu dans nombreux pays, Je ne suis pas sure si les reglementation des fonds communs de placement sont les memes dans tout les pays. Dans l'histoire, je voudrais presenter mes connaisances au sujet de fonds de placement.

Fonds communs de placement est un systeme financier qui recuillent de l'argent de plusieurs personnes. Les fonds sera gere par le gestionnaire de fonds. Le gestionnaire de fonds est responsable de faire profiter des fonds en l'investissant dans le marche boursier.

Habituellement, Le gestionnaire de fonds va acheter des actions des societes en tete du marche. Cela depend de l'indiceque le marche utilise. Par exemple, si le gestionnaire acheter les actions au NASDAQ. Le gestionnaire va utiliser S&P 500 indice. Si le gestionnaire acheter les actions au NYSE, le gestionnaire va utiliser Dow Jones Industrial indice. Le gestionnaire peut, et habituellement, acheter des actions de plus d'un societe dans l'indice. Apres, le gestionnaire surveilles le prix des actions. Si la hausse de prix, toute les personnes qui ont investi leur argent dans ce fonds communs de placement recevoir argent. L'argent est preleve sur le benefice produit par les actions.

Ce type d'investissement est plus sur comparer a d'autres type d'investissement dans marche boursier parce que les actions sont les meilleurs actions sur le marche. Mais, comme autre investissement, il y a toujours des risques. Si le marche est en baisse le prix des actions sere en baisse aussi.

Be Grateful for What You Have Because You Can Always Have Less

Last night after tiring day of apartment cleaning, I did some video walking on youtube. The video was about successful Indonesian people living abroad. The video was broadcast on one of Indonesian TV station last December when I was in Indonesia. I watched this show at that time but only for few minutes since I had a guest at that time. I realized yesterday when I found it in youtube that I had not finished the whole show.
OK, long story shorts, the show was about few guys who left Indonesia and made brilliant career outside. There were one group (I think it was part of PPI) who gathered all of this kind of people from all over the world and they exceed their target from getting 50-80 people to be gathered (or probably contacted and collected their data) 400 people with the criteria. Due to the short time provided for the show, only four people was interviewed.
Those four people interviewed are extremely smart and achieved a remarkable achievement. However, I always put preference on the people who suffered the most compare to other people who suffered less when it comes to comparison. Why? Probably for me the success level of someone is measured from how hard he struggle for success. And people who suffered the most are better than the others.
Among those four the one that I choose was Prof. Ken Soetanto. IMHO, he was outstanding. He is one of the Dean at Waseda University and had four doctoral degrees. He said (at least he didn't denied when the host said) that he did not finished his high school. Later on I found out that he finished his high school but was not on time since his first school was closed and he had to work since then until few years later he start again his high school in another school.
He went to Japan when he was 23 and struggling to live there for three years before he got admitted to Nokodai for bachelor program and continue for master in the same university. And then, this is the best part, he took four doctoral programmes afterwards. He was disappointed because the Japanese at that time did not accept him to be a researcher. He went to US and work there in 1 or 2 universities for around 5 years before he returned to Japan again to be a lecturer. Afterwards, his career was shining than ever.
Amazing stories. The video somehow gave me another point of view to see life. Recently, I was soo ungrateful about almost everything that I have. My story with this people have some similarity. At least I was like them studied overseas and experienced living in abroad. I also most probably shared the same problem to decide to go home for good or not. Have I been as successful as them? No, at least not yet. Knowing there stories makes me think that there are other goals that can be reached beside coming back home and give to do everything, no matter that does not suit my qualification or worse does not fit what I want, just for some money. So, a new set of directions? Yessss....

Wrap Up

It's been a while since I wrote in this blog. Many things happen. It is sad that I didn't write my life in Sweden. But I will try to wrap up everything here. Okay, my last writing was about comparison between Ronneby and Bolzano. It was my first impression when I arrived and lived for several weeks in Ronneby. The next story is about my life in Ronneby after those period.

Ronneby was a small town in south-east part of Sweden. One of the most impressive finding when I was in Ronneby is the environment. Yes, it is a small town, not many people life here, no malls and so on. But what I mean by environment here is the living environment. There are still many trees, I saw rabbits many times and the most impressive one is I saw deers in the student housing.

My student housing was fun for most of the time. Yes, there are some times that I don't like the housing. One of it is when I come back from supermarket after buying groceries. The steep road to get to the housing was quite troublesome if you carry many stuffs. And you can imagine when you have to do it during winter when the temperature can drop to -20 centigrade. It is also not so near to the town nor the train station. Which takes some time if I went to shop or to go to out of Ronneby (Karlskrona most of the time). The positive side about the housing is that it is very close to the campus. Getting there can take 7 minutes if I walked slowly and enjoying the scenery along the way and 2 minutes if I took shortcut down the hill through the trees.

Unlike my previous housing in Bolzano, the housing in Ronneby was very warm. Thanks to 24 hours non-stop heating that did not cost extra charge. Ow I forgot to tell one of the unpleasant impression that happened during my last days in that housing. They did not give my deposit money back until now. I heard that the housing company went bankrupt. But still, not giving the deposit money is not a good impression for me.

I finished my study at BTH little bit late than I expected. I expected to finish my study in June 2009 but it last until September 2009. The reason is my master thesis took so long to finish. I even have to work on it during summer. But finally thank God it was over. I felt soo relieved. The result was like I expected. Although somehow until now I still think that I can get the same result with less effort. But nevermind, que sera, sera.

October was my last month in Ronneby and Sweden. It was marked by marathon of farewells, confusion of degree certificates applications and another confusions of what I am going to do next. Many friends that spent time together during my staying period in Ronneby said goodbye. It was sad. But life must go on. Meeting and separating are two things that happen in live. Applying for degree was not so easy task neither. I have to found out what the first and second university wanted and also, ofcourse, what the consortium wanted, BTH was quite helpful and it takes only 2 weeks for the process and I got my transcipt and degree certificates. For FUB it takes months. I received the diploma supplement on December and the certificate on January. Even during November and December I still have to send to them several documents that they need. But thank God I got all of them now.

And ofcourse, the most “romantic” part I did during that October was the planning of what I am going to do after I graduated. It was like the same thing happened when I graduated from my bachelor degree. When I think about this matter, it's not just about where I am going to make money for living. Its more spiritual to me. I put present tense in the last sentence on purpose. I do still think about it until now. I thought about this even before I take the scholarship. But at that time several close persons of mine convinced me to take the scholarship and postponed the thinking of this matter later. I thought about it several times during my first year in Bolzano. And I thought it seriously since my last semester at BTH. In general the results was I did not want to take PhD, at least not for now unless I have no other options. So based on the result it is set to find a job. Where? This is when the spiritual factor comes in. The place where I am going to work will influence my spiritual life. Especially I am planning to have family in the future. Therefore, their spiritual life will be also my responsibility. Knowing this fact, thinking about this matter was more heavy than what I did few years back.

Like most of the Indonesians, I want to come back and live in Indonesia one day. At least until now. This willingness that most of the time I found less or absent when I talked to other non-european friends. I have experienced lived in Indonesia and foreign countries. Based on my findings, nowhere is perfect. There are always pros and cons when we compare living in one country and another. Or when we compare living in Indonesia and abroad. Its just up to us which one that will make us happy.

I have seen a family lived in small house in Indonesia and the father has to work extra hard day and night, way much harder than any europeans that I know of, just to keep his family fed and get shelter. Their home is sheltered with zinc alloy which during summer the temperature inside the house could rise up to 50-60 centigrade and no air conditioners. Only one small old fan that sometimes breaks. Even during rainy season, still you can feel the heat. Which part of that picture that tells happiness? I will leave this question for you. But they said they live happy. I also have seen a family live in one of the city in europe. In small apartment with only one room in it (bathroom doesn't count), have children and afford a good life. Although only small portion of their earnings goes to saving and they are far away separated from their big family in Indonesia. They said they are also happy.

Many reasons to be happy as well as many reasons to be unhappy. We just have to come up with our own formula of happiness that combines those reasons in order to make decision on what do we want to do nest or where do we want to live. During my process of creating this formula I learn one thing. Try not to put people's opinion reason/factor in it. It only cost you more CPU cycle of your brain to work way much harder and no significant advantage in the result. We cannot satisfy all people. No matter how good our formula or decisions that we make there are always people that put bad comments on it. This is our life. Just do it according what we want based on our knowledge and preferences.

Kehidupan di Ronneby vs. Bolzano

Posting kali ini sengaja dibuat dalam bahasa Indonesia untuk menghindari kalo ada orang2 eropa yg tersinggung gara2 baca postingan ini. Walaupun ada kemungkinan mereka niat banget copy seluruh postingan ini buat diterjemahin si translator seperti Google language tool semoga saja mereka tak serajin itu :D Sepeti judulnya, kali ini saya coba bandingkan apa yang saya alami di Ronneby dibandingkan apa yg saya alami dulu di Bozano.

Meskipun kurang lebih sudah saya setahun di benua dingin ini tapi culture shock masih ada ketika masa2 awal tiba di Ronneby. hmm, mungkin lebih tepatnya bukan culture shock karena dgn culturenya sih more less sama. Mungkin lebih tepat kalau geographical shock.

Ronneby jauh lebih kecil dibandingkan Bolzano. Wilayah Swedia pada umumnya meskipun luas tetapi tidak banyak penghuninya menyebabkan jarang menemui keramaian apalagi di kota yang bernama Ronneby ini. Sama seperti shock ketika di Bolzano lama2 jadi dibetah2in di Ronneby. Sisi baiknya sih gak ada kemacetan dan kebisingan. Kota ini bener2 tenang buat belajar dan istirahat. Sisi buruknya adalah ketika belanja dimana mesti jalan ke kota yg cukup agak lama sekitar 15-20 menit yg kalau PP jadinya 30-40 menit. Mungkin lebih karena perjalanan pulang makan waktu lebih lama karena jalanan nanjak dan bawa belanjaan yg bisanya bikin ransel overload.

Kenapa overload? jawabannya sudah dijelaskan tadi. Karena ke kotanya jauh dan gak ada angkutan jadi mesti jalan kaki. Karena kotanya jauh jadi kalau cuaca sedang ngambek, perjalanan ke kota jadi cukup mengerikan. jadi belanjapun tidak bisa sesering ketika di Bolzano dulu. Belanja disini maksud saya adalah buat kebutuhan sehari2 seperti beras, sayur dan lauk-pauk. Sedangkan untuk belanja yg lain ditunda sampe bener2 butuh supaya banyak uang buat jalan2 dan keperluan lainnya :D

Suhu dan cuaca jadi momok buruk. Ada teman orang Swedia yg bahkan menyatakan kalau pulang malam yg ditakutkan adalah tidak ada angkutan sehingga mesti berjuang melawan suhu minus sampe ada angkutan lagi kesokan harinya. Di Bolzano juga dingin tetapi tidak ada angin yg kenceng dan karena asrama dan univnya di kota jadi tidak jauh kemana-mana.

Satu lagi yg mencolok Ronneby adalah susahnya mendapatkan bumbu2 asia. satu-satunya toko yg menjual bumbu asia adalah toko arab yg bumbu2nya tidak begitu "menggigit". jadinya mesti kuat makan berhambar-hambar ria di Ronneby. Atau kalo lagi gak beruntung masakannya terlalu asin. Bolzano cukup banyak toko2 yg menjual bumbu asia selatan dan ada satu toko yg menjual lengkap barang2 dari asia timur bahkan termasuk the legendary Indomie :D

Mengenai sesuatu yg berhubungan dengan kampus dan kuliah disini cukup berbeda dgn Bolzano karena cuma 4 mata kuliah tiap semester. Satu semester dibagi menjadi 2 learning period @ 2 bulan. Pembagian 1 semester menjadi 2 LP ini yg bikin seolah-olah kuliah disini padat. Karena tugas-tugas selalu ada tiap bulan. Beda dengan ketika di Bolzano dimana satu semester untuk 7-8 mata kuliah dan tidak dibagi menjadi learning period dimana semua kesibukan dan kehebohan adalah di akhir semester, menjelang dan ketika ujian. gak kebayang kalau di Bolzano juga diperlakukan learning period.

Perpustakaan di Ronneby atau BTH pada umumnya sangat bagus secara virtual. Maksudnya mereka punya koleksi ebook yg saya belum pernah cek apakah cukup lengkap atau tidak, tetapi koleksi journal dan database yg sangat sangat lengkap. Mencari paper dan artikel menjadi lebih mudah. Di Bolzano setahu saya masih kurang lengkap untuk sarana dan prasarana virtual ini. Tetapi perpustakaan di Bolzano ruangannya sangat nyaman dan tenang untuk belajar. Sedangkan disini perpustakaannya cenderung berisik. At least yg di Ronneby.

Akomodasi disini cukup bagus. Ada heating yg siap terus2an nyala. Suatu kemewahan yg tidak bisa dirasakan ketika di Bolzano dulu kecuali ketika di kampus. Kemewahan lain yg didapat adalah kebebasan dimana bisa lebih manusiawi dimana diperbolehkan membawa teman masuk pada saat suhu diluar sedang dingin. Sisi manusiawi yg saya dengar di asrama di Bolzano susah sangat dikurangi dengan peraturan. Sisi baik asrama di Bolzano adalah jaraknya yg sangat dekat kampus sehingga bisa sering pulang untuk sholat atau makan. Juga kehadiran cleaning lady yg cukup membantu terutama bagi saya yg malas bersih-bersih kamar.

Sisi buruk akomodasi disini adalah semua furniture mesti disediakan sendiri. Hal ini sudah saya coba penuhi dengan melobi sana sini supaya mau memberikan furniturenya ke saya walapaun beberapa furniture yg kata pemiliknya cukup bagus telah lenyap tak berbekas meskipun udah diberi label nama.

Demikian laporan perbadingan sampai saaat ini. ngantuk. tiiduur....
