A few months ago, I divested my position in one of the counters I used to be vested in – Sembcorp Industries (Link Here). Back then, I remember receiving a few criticism coming in from a few readers.  One of the criticism which I remember vividly was from a reader that commented I was doing…

I could sense some form of excitement amongst my fellow financial bloggers and facebook group of friends. Today, the Shanghai and HSI market plunged rather badly, providing contagion to its nearby market Nikkei as well as STI and the rest of the Asian market.

This week, I made a purchase of 15,000 shares of Kingsmen Creative at a price of $0.98. After recently adding Silverlake into the portfolio (Link Here), I am delighted to add another company that fits into my criteria of strong business moats, high free cash flow generating capability, strong Return on Equity figures, and a…

I made a decision to divest all my current holdings for FCOT of 11,000 shares at a price of $1.525.  This has not been an easy decision (just like the recent FCT divestment) because they are two of those Reits that have been with me for the longest of time and have performed remarkably well…
