SGX to reduce lot size potentially from 1000 to 100 to 1
SGX has announced that they are studying to reduce its lot size from the current 1000 to 100 and eventually to 1. So imagine if that were to happen, I would have owned 260 lots of FCT instead of the 26 lots I owned now 😀 I think we might get a general consensus from…

Based on the diagram, intelligence without experience equals to “knowledge”. This is a typical student traits. A student who learns and knows the theory on the back of the head…
Is this new investing strategy worth the effort?
I’m just thinking aloud of the recent patterns I’ve noticed in the pre and post Ex-dividend strategy for the past couple of months. I’ve personally known of people who trade shares just before a company announces its results. While the results may go either way, a certain level of predictability is required to mobilize its randomness. …
