It’s been a long time since we saw markets behave the way they are like this. The last time was sometime during 2014 if I recall but the volatility fell short as market continues to go up thereafter. Since, it’s been an easy ride for investors as the stock market goes one way higher and…

Back in 2014, we created a dividend portfolio for Baby B1.0 when he was born. The whole idea was pretty simple – we wanted to take advantage of the power of compounding by investing early and reinvesting all the dividend income received into purchasing another basket of dividend companies. Our idea back then was to…

The days are long but the years are short. This is what parenthood has to offer and those who are parents yourself will understand where I am coming from. My younger son turns 1 tomorrow and coincidentally he shared the same birth date and year as the son of one of the community blogger, LP (Happy…

I recently initiated a new position for Tuan Sing at a share price of 47.5 cents for 40,000 shares. Tuan Sing caught my eye only recently after the report from UOB came out back in Nov last year, highlighting a few of their solid development and investment properties on hand. Since then, I’ve been studying…

It’s been quite some time since the last time I talked about something that is related to personal finance so I think it’s about appropriate to revisit them in the early days of the year. The topic related is about emergency funds and it is right at the heart and foundation of personal finance. Often,…

The new year has started with its first green week and the general sense you get from the market is the people on the street are more optimistic, building up a strong end to 2017. Sir John Templeton once gave a great quote that says “Bull market is born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature…

With just over a day before the new year, I think it’s about time to sit back and self reflect about what are some of the things that I expect in the new year 2018. I wanted to originally do a target to achieve in the new year but quickly changed it afterwards because not…

First of all, apologies for the lack of recent posting as I had just returned from a 2 week work trip overseas followed by a week of holiday thereafter back to back. As we are winding down this year, I would like to take some time to do a self reflection review of the performance…
