3 years ago, I learnt a small lesson on the investment principle of Buy and Forget. One of things I learnt from Warren Buffet is to consider every stocks you buy or sell as if it is the last transaction you do in the next 10 years. (Go sailing for 10 years before you return, […]

The offering has the potential to become the world’s largest IPO. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has set a […]
On Iridum
Just posted a comment on BeyondSG (George Yeo blogs there btw) regarding Iridium. A Porsche for $750 bucks. Re-post here for archive purposes. I done a due diligence on Iridum for a banker in 2002. It was already pretty interesting back then. Iridium went backrupted in Aug 1999 and in Nov 2000 was bought out […]
2003 Performance
2003 is a pretty good year for me. There was quite a few stocks which is quite badly beaten in the poor market sentiment despite their fundamentals. For example, I picked up Crayfish (email outsourcing company) for 60cent on a dollar just on their cash value alone and made over 100% profit when they annouce […]

If you perform well, they might actually hire you to be a fund manager! Interesting… One problem however, my current portfolio is not compliance with the diversification requirements […]

The .com bubble burst in 2001 opens some opportunities to invest. I remember I couldn’t sleep for a few days the first time I bought some shares. […]
My Stock Investment Strategies
I started speculating stocks after my junior college in 1993. But that is pure speculating (or gambling) and I buy and sell without knowing why. I remember I made a bit of money but I did not keep track of my performance then. In 1999, I read about the effect of inflations and taxes on […]
Don’t forget: Buy and forget it
It is a frustrating two weeks. I was bored and tweaked my portfolio two weeks ago (selling off CHRT at 7.35 and it close 9.16 today) and I pay dearly for my mistake. It is not that I am angry with the lost gain. I mean I didnt lose any money on the trade and […]
