Stocks AGMs

A number of companies will be holding their annual general meetings (“AGMs”) this month. I am considering attending some of these AGMS as I feel that it is my right to do so as a shareholder. I am not sure how many people actually turn up at the AGMs for the free buffet reception after the AGMs? I am...

SMRT stocks: SMRT fares increase

Yesterday, as I exited from the MRT station gantries, I saw to my surprise that my train fees have increased by six-cents! This six-cents translates to quite some percentages of my fare per trip and if I multiply this amount by the number of days in a month and two trips (i.e “to” and “fro” trips)...

Noble Group stock: my analysis

Noble Group has rallied so many percentage points so much so that I thought it is like Ezion Holdings which rocketed up and up in its stock price in Ezion’s heydays. The news which prompted the stellar northward climb of Noble Group was nevertheless the acquisition of the agricultural business of Noble...

What I know about Singapore Stocks

The STI rallied again today (2nd April 2014) led by strong manufacturing figures from abroad. The STI has added quite a fair bit since March 2014 and I must congratulate readers who have profited from this seeming uptrend. But is this uptrend a rally? Is it still timely for investors to enter into the stock...

SMRT stock

While SMRT stock may not be doing well, I read the report that SMRT has signed an agreement with Huawei to develop some e-commerce products. The foray of SMRT into an area which is not its core business in rails, trains and buses may be surprising to others, but I am not really surprised as this is not the...

My Zen-like Investing

Around me, there are folks who are quite fixated with the monitoring of stock prices daily or even intra-day. Some of them like to comment out loud how they have picked a winning stock while behaving or “behaving” “secretive” and comment how their trading methods are that accurate. There are also...

Of Money and Stress

I read the report that says that city dwellers are more prone to stress. Let me give you one reason why we city dwellers are stressed: most of the stress has to do with MONEY. First work.

Rich Dad Financial advantage

After reading this post, you may feel sceptical and think that I am cynical but I would think that the “Rich Dad Financial Advantage” if I may coin this term is quite applicable for some. So what is the “Rich Dad Financial Advantage?” Well, I have a friend who needs not look for a good and proper...
