I do it every month and the amount i transfer from OA to SA is basically the amount that is below the hundreds of my OA. eg. if my OA is $18,532, i transfer $32 from my OA to SA so that my OA looks nicer as $18,500. Cause i am looking to get a house in the near future and having money in the OA is crucial. ! !

If the loans in p2p get defaulted, it means that the borrower has failed to make repayment. What happen nexts could be the platform tries to get the borrower to do partial payment or persuade them to make repayment at a longer period. if the company does not pay, the platform may get a debt collector to make the borrower pay. End of the day if the borrower really has no money and declares bankruptcy, then your money is gone. Experienced something similar of a company default and wrote my reviews about it here. http://justbeingernest.blogspot.com/2017/07/moolahsense.html

Congrats on making the effort to know more about finance and helping to plan for your mum. Below is an analogy in terms of soccer team. Firstly you will want to build your goalkeeper first which is insurance Secondly to build on your defences which is emergency money. Thirdly your midfielders are your savings account, get those that give high interest rates. Fourthly your strikers are investments, low risk first before high risk investments. Fifthly is the manager which is you on planning what to do next at every quarter Lastly is the fans which are people that you can count on for support and guidance like the seedly community.

Yes you can. A similar scenario is my friend wanted to borrow my youtrip card overseas as his youtrip card was expected to arrive only after he returned. So i lent him my card and told him to login to my youtrip account to do the topup to the youtrip card. So whenever he needed to top up the youtrip card while overseas, he would whatsapp me first, did the login on his phone and when i received the OTP, i would whatsapp him the OTP then he was able to login to my account on his phone overseas.

The straight forward answer is that stocks are subjected to pricing by the free market which allow people to buy and sell based on what they agree. If the price set by seller is same as the price set by buyer, then the transaction will take place. hence if the market feels that the price of the stock should be low and both the buyers and sellers think the same, then the stock price will go down and vice versa. on the other hand, bonds is more like a debt that does not change value over time. If the bank were to lend you money at 2% interest rates per annual, one year later, the bank is to receive principal and 2% interest. there is no one that can affect the interest rates as it was agreed at the beginning by both parties. hence bonds are less volatile than bonds. if you are keen to read more about company reviews and finance, do check out my blog at http://justbeingernest.blogspot.com/
