A peek into an oddball teen's mind.

"It's been a loong day , *inserts lyrics to the tune of see you again* " Anyways , 好久不”见“！Of late i've gone on a short personal vacation where i've caught up with people i need to catch up with , cleared my backlog of work , and taken time to do some R&R , chill and drinks sessions with friends. I've got about an hour to kill before my dinner appointment , so might as well do a wrap up post and short portfolio update to remind myself for 2017 eh? Before posting the pie chart and prolly what's in my watchlist for the next year , i might just do a quick reflection of 2016 so far , i think the main takeaway point of this year came from a conversation i had with a friend a month back , when i was lamenting on my happiness level. I mean , from anyone's standpoint , my investment returns this year was decent by any standard lol , but i got bored during halfway this year when the market slowed , i was basically watching sgx on one screen and hk...

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...

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...

Hi all As y'all prolly might know by now.... ah boy doesn't blog about specific counters , but due to a special request by a few clients , i've decided to do a segment on IPOs. Specifically IPOs for Singapore (for now) and IPOs that i've taken a look at... i'm at most times , a frog in a well.... in hiding so forgive me if the news travels slower ah... the well is very deep. For those IPOs you want me to write about in my anyhow hantam way , please , pm me on facebook , leave me a comment below , or just message me if y'all have my handphone number eh :) Ps. all the stuff below are written just for laughs.The serious stuff if you need , there is SGX , other bloggers out there for it. If you do get offended , i apologise in advance, paiseh la , ah boy here leh.... pang zui a bit ah (give chance a bit la). The stock market is a zero sum game.... hear b4 this saying? Cheers! This CMC INFOCOMM Limited ah.... this ginna (kid) caught my attention for 3 reasons....

Hi peeps   Ken back with my naggy nonsense again. So a few days back while i was having a mac meal with a friendly engineer cum trader , investor and another young investor (yes dext, this is for you ) , these terms consistently popped up. (Ps. Please bear with my musings in singlish and for those that don't understand , uncle google is there and i learnt from a friend that there is a singlish online guide? LOL, enjoy) BULL / BEAR Notice i put both terms in green? It's for a reason and the topic at hand today is PERSP E CTIVE .  You see ah , one can b* and tell you that oh , oil is dipping , bull is running on WS and APAC is looking uptrend la bla bla bla .... i'm not saying that they are wrong , but what i'm saying is , are you vested wrongly ?  Or is your portfolio not suited for the current climate? What i'm saying is that people know how to tweak their portfolios , so should you! TBH , u wanna...

Hi peeps , boring Ken is back with another entry . Background Story: Uncle Rich on Facebook aka investopenly in the blogworld :p  : "  Ken  why not share about why u personally like FA over TA? It is not that either one is better, just want to see a young mind's view on this, eh sai boh?" Ken's reply is as follow , i'll ask you this qn first :  " you want to follow the mother hen and be protected or learn on your own ? " I put the 2 pics below for illustration lar , which one would you pick? "Bloody heck , i'll take number 2 man, look how stylo this kid looks! #SWAG " Now , no one is accusing anyone of being a mommy's boy / daddy's girl here . Point in case being , experience being in the market lar , if you don't take that first step , you'll probably hurt yourself even more . To be awfully honest , my style is chapalang , anyhow hantam style . I rely on my gut feel more than others for...

Hi in another segment of my diary , i've turned legal age to go and purchase a bottle of red/white (Those who don't get this , wait for the answer in another 3 years, you'll understand , eventually . )   All right , let's begin proper. So in a Facebook post , i asked my friends what they would like to see me write about and Branson Lee said " The different approaches you make before making a buy   the things you consider etc " For starters , my approach or rather rationale for this way of me investing is simple. Don't pick or go and whack counters that you know that with your holding in it , you'll toss and turn around in bed , in my dialect , it's called " koon bway loh " , so for those that are thinking of doing this kind of move , think again .  MAKE SURE YOU CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT ,  and SOUNDLY TOO! Before i make any move , i'll do these 4 steps .  1) Eyes open big big , legs don't shake.  People...
