Spare Ribs Noodle with X , My Ta Baos from it.

Hi Peeps



  Ken back with my musings of the world , from my perspective of course. So i was having spare rib noodles for lunch with investor Mr X :) and naturally our conversation drifted to investments and what makes a company or rather a counter worth buying into. we both contributed ideas as to what factors we consider when we buy into counters . For X , it is growth potential , high growth potential.

The counters better have the possibility to wake up and flip a minimum of 2 times in order to be considered for MR X 's list. Let's begin proper with the lessons i've learnt from mr X then, shall we?





1) Do your own research ,know the figures and how it is calculated.


Example 1:

 Liquidity ratio calculations
 

Example 2:

Dividend yields need to be reflected in accordance with current trading prices , if not , you'll judge a counter's performance based on past info , for traders and real-time investors , you'll look for ACCURATE ON TIME information.



2) Multibagger within the time frame of 1yr or bin it. (His style , not for me , mine is anyhow hantam lar)








Learn to let go of counters that are underperforming , put them in a list of "K.I.V" counters and review them once in a while :) The time might not be ripe yet , also binning it reduces the risk of liquidity being tied up there, STOP LOSS when necessary , follow your exit strategy !


3) Do stuff that is necessary , don't overkill though


Come on , you're not him all right? Big Boy?







Buy in at your comfort zone, don't shoot finish the clip to realise your ammo supply is out.









Life lessons from X:

1) Always be humble and nice :)

You will never know when you will meet your benefactor :) so yea, playing the nice card helps





2) Treat one like how you will treat your closest family member and you will find unexpected stuff.                   
(A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow maybe?)




Well Cheerio till the next time , for retail investors , let's come out for kopi sometime , drop me a comment or add me on facebook :)

Boring , compounding , or is it?

Good Evening! I got this crazy (honestly .... if i find it a bit "siao" it should be quite siao la) idea that i've delayed over a year or two. Recent events such as my mum falling ill and the recent passing of my 大舅 (Mum's eldest bro) have helped cement the notion of going through with the idea. THE IDEA in context? A family owned company which buys shares in listed companies with no or low debt and use the dividends to be reinvested together with additional capital contribution on a yearly basis. I've attached a table below for viewing.  Assuming a yield of 5% P.A. from dividends , excluding capital appreciation , aga aga results are as shown below. FYI , my extended family is big so can do it on such a scale if not each shareholder contribution has to be larger to obtain such results. Disclaimer(s): 1) Chart too small don't blame me , zoom in , zoom zoom. Paiseh la , i IT. noob (I provided two snips which should help in understanding the t...

Ah , b4 i begin to even rant, Happy CNY ! HUAT AH! Moving on liao, this is a self-reflection post (enough of financial posts for now , you have my blog list la , visit one of them :p ) , so for those that can't tahan long granny stories (kidding!) , read on. Those who can't tahan ah boy's style ? Obviously you wouldn't be here if you can't tahan la huh... 1) Be TRUE to others and yourself  This is definitely applicable to all aspects of life. Before starting out on commerce , back in my secondary school days , i used to be a lot more reserved , i don't usually put this out, but i learnt over time that putting out the real you has been very beneficial in terms of boosting a bit of self-confidence and also , it also helps you to allow others to understand you better , because , when you don't speak up , others don't know! Treat others like how you would treat yourself , only then will people begin to open up to you , and you will understand them be...

Yo ! Ah Boy is finally "UMEMPLOYED" !! Funny leh , unemployed and yet i'm so happy.... i know what you must be thinking... this ah boy siao liao ah? For me , being unemployed is one of the happiest thing that has happened to me , because i've finally graduated from my studies!! Damn , after endless nights of nightmares , i finally turn from full time student to .... unemployed. Well for my off day , i decided to KLKK ( Hokkien for walking around ). An acquaintance alerted me to a news article a while back in the papers , with a portfolio shown every week done up by CFA professionals as part of a moneysense  initiative  , a short 2 hour seminar will be held every 2 monthsor so ba. I also managed to meet up with my accountant , to settle tax issues (Remember to file your taxes soon ah! ) and also to do a bit of business reorganisation as part of my portfolio review. For the most part , the seminar focused on enforcing or rather instilling the discipline that...
