Child Portfolio – “Mar 16 – SG Transactions & Portfolio Update”
I’ve made some small purchases lately for the child portfolio so I thought I made a quick update here. In the past week, I’ve invested his share of money into the STI ETF (ES3) at $2.85 for 300 shares which I thought was reasonably priced here for the long term. This is in addition to the…
Recent Action – Kingsmen Creative
This will be an update to my latest additions as I accumulated more Kingsmen shares at a price of $0.61 for 23,000 shares. This is now my 3rd largest holding in my portfolio. The basic thesis to the company remains much similar to what I have previously written (Link here and here) so I will not…
Consider Every Single Aspect Before Leaving The Corporate World
For anyone who evolved from a salaried employee to an entrepreneur or business owner, the consideration for the loss of the total cost of employment needs to be evaluated and considered at some point in time. As an employee worker myself, we are often over-represented by the amount of gross salary we earned, without factoring…
Should You Be Taking Profits In This Recent Rally?
The recent rally since we hit the bottom in Feb implies STI closes officially flat since the start of the year. If you have been buying aggressively when STI hits the low of 2528, you should be making quite a decent profit right at this moment. I was fortunate to participate in this small rally…

How Do You Plan For Your Travel Itch?
One of my long term objective is to travel the world to learn and experience things. I like to travel because I can educate myself and my kids on things they will never experience in school while keeping abreast of constant learning on the go myself. In fact, I am always constantly challenged when I…
Observing The Market – “Fear of Missing Out”
The stock market has rallied very strongly to close the week at +188 points to end at 2,837. Sentiments have certainly calls for more bullish as we can see from how different certain individuals behave. You can sense when there are generally more positive news coming out from the media and individuals who started to…
Recent Action – Neratel
I recently made a purchase of Neratel of 13,000 shares at a price of $0.55. This was not a company I was unfamiliar with as I have previously been vested with them in 2011 before a couple of takeover saga takes place and I divested the share thereafter at 76 cents early last year. In…
