I’ve written a couple of backtest posting on Vicom and my last article (here) was about their Q3 results, so this will just be a brief updates on the full year results, growth and dividend payouts for future reference purpose. The result was very much predicted with low topline and bottomline growth, though it is pretty…

We are undoubtedly going into the 6th year of the bull run since the Great Financial Crisis last happened in 2008/2009. The STI index last ended at 3,431 and the momentum is clearly on the way up. I have no idea on where it is going to go by the end of the year but…

I wasn’t going to post about this since my focus is not on this section of the blogging but since I have received a couple of emails asking me about it, I thought it will do no harm answering some of those queries and being transparent about it. Even though I have blogged over the past 4 years,…

Merger & Acquisition has been a widely debated topic on whether it will bring value to existing shareholders. Of course, when we talk about this, investors and analysts will think the likes of accretive or dilutive deals.

I manage to divest all my 15 lots of Ascott Reit today at a price of $1.31. This has been a very good performing counters for years and gave me a very decent capital and dividend gains. Thank you Ascott. However, given the recent run-up for Reits in general and the reason why I would…

If you have been following my blog for quite a while, you would know that I spend a whole load of money on dining in general and they can add up quite a bit at the end of the month. On average, I usually spend about $100-$150/week on weekends just on dining alone. Add those groceries…

I am pretty sure that I am going to receive quite a bit of backlash after this post following some unsightly comments from the hardwarezone forum for my decision to divest AHT two weeks ago. Regardless, I will try to be as transparent as possible and hope readers do their own diligence before deciding to…

It’s been quite a while since I’ve last been to AGM which I think was for FCT last year during around the same time. The venue was the same at Alexandra Point which seemed very familiar to me by now. The AGM started at 10am in the morning, and I made my way slowly there…
