Mahi Mahi is Not Recommended

On my last weekend, we decided to try to have lunch in new place. So, as many friends suggests, “Try Mahi Mahi, the seafood is good.”

Well, Mahi Mahi is not that good. The place itself is good, it is designed much like Jimbaran, I’m sure its cozy at night. There is also beach sands as kid’s playground. But first thing that counts is the food, and unfortunately the food is tasteless. If you previously had tried Mang Engking, Mahi Mahi is really not a comparable one, in price as well as taste. For example: the legendary honey-fried shrimp (udang bakar madu) costs Rp. 250.000 in Mahi Mahi, while you can get the best one for Rp. 90.000 in Mang Engking.

The Beta Release of portalreksadana.com

alhamdulilah... after a long wait, the beta release of portalreksadana.com is finally up and running... checkout the snapshot below.




The portal has the most comprehensive mutual fund historical data in Indonesia. It covers mutual fund data from 2005 until 2007 (so far: March 4, daily update feature will soon be available), I just need more time to collect the 2003-2004 data. The database size is 15MB, containing over 180 thousands records. It took over 12 hours to get all of those data from Bapepam, and of course, a blazing speed of internet connection.

The portal had a long development roadmap. In the near future, this portal will be upgraded with useful features for registered members. for example: portfolio tracker will help investors in managing their net investment value in multiple accounts. registered members will also have access and download to raw data (not only mutual funds, but also indexes data from JSX), to be further processed with other applications.

Yes, all of these features and information will still be available for FREE. portalreksadana.com aims to be the most comprehensive mutual fund information provider in Indonesia, enabling access to everyone for FREE.

I'm open for comments and ideas, keep up the spirit of investing!
