When I first started off this blog on my investing journey, I had a clear objective of what I wanted to achieve at the end of the day. There are several steps that I needed to follow and habits that I needed to change in order to achieve that and frugality is one of those…
Singapore O&G Ltd IPO – Balloting Results
The IPO balloting results are finally out this evening after quite a number people I know have applied, including myself. I had applied for 101,000 shares and didn’t expect much from it. True enough, the chances of getting 7,000 shares were probably very slim at 5% probability and the bid was not successful. There are…
Pacing Your Buying Activities
We’ve had a couple of consecutive negative returns in the Singapore market in recent times now given the lacklustre start to the year. It feels weird because on one hand it seems like a pretty normal things that we know the market will react but yet on the other hand because we have not had…
Singapore O&G Ltd IPO – Thoughts
I was highlighted from a fellow blogger, Richard from Invest Openly regarding the upcoming healthcare related IPO which will be listed in the Catalyst. Many people are comparing this against related healthcare Raffles Medical which are now trading at around 30x PER. For me, I’d see this more towards the proxy of Cordlife, since they are in…

Recent Action – Vicom Ltd
Following my post earlier this month (here) on Vicom’s Q1 FY15 result, the share price has dropped and I took this chance to accumulate by purchasing 2,000 shares at a price of $5.96. I don’t have too much to update regarding the nature of the business that I have written on previously, so this is…
What About 2nd Chance At This Price Now?
The share price of 2nd Chance has been in severe declining phase since its last failed execution of spinning their properties into Reits. The last time I blogged about this was back in January this year when the share price declined fiercely to the news that it went down from $0.45 to as low as…
