As a financial blogger and a secret food explorer myself, there is one common attribute that I am always on the lookout. That attribute is Value. I have tasted plenty of great food with great ambience in my life, but they usually come at a high price to it. It is rare that I find…

It is the time of the year again when I had to undergo the appraisal for my KPI objective for last year. I just completed mine recently and it was a fairly straightforward process. No politics, no suggestion and no comments. Sign-off and get done with. The yearly appraisal is not a stranger to most working employees out there. Every year at around…

LMIRT has just announced their full year results this morning and it appears that the fourth quarter is doing pretty well. Sillyinvestor has done a very good job dissecting the figures especially for the projection of the newly acquired Kemang figures so I will just cover it very briefly. There are 3 things that basically I wanted…

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.

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…

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. In general, almost all existing investors would be happier to see an accretive deal being carried out. They would suck…

We hear a lot of wise advice throughout our investment journey from what we feel as the best investor of all time, Warren Buffett. There are many of them which I vividly remember but there is one in particular which I thought was extremely going to be useful. I came across the Buffett’s analogy of…

I went to HK last Wednesday to settle some personal matters which needed my attention, stayed there for 2 nights and returned back to Singapore yesterday night. I took an SQ flight this time because I thought the price was pretty reasonable (not sure if it’s related to the oil falls) as compared to the…

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…
