Money FM 89.3 Quick Impressions

January 31, 2018 By KK

SPH launched the first business and finance focused radio station in Singapore, Money FM 89.3, on Monday, 29 January. I mean, like finally. Why it took this long for something like that to exist in Singapore befuddles me to no end. I've been listening in daily since launch, so here's some of my first impressions. The Schedule Each day is split into 4 segments … [Read more...] about Money FM 89.3 Quick Impressions

January 29, 2018 By KK

Today, I exercised my shareholder's rights for the first time by attending the Frasers Centrepoint Property Ltd Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at InterContinental Singapore, mostly for my Continuing Investor Education requirements. (Professionals have CPE requirements, Investors should have CIE requirements :P ) Here are 5 quick highlights and questions raised by … [Read more...] about 5 points on the Frasers Centrepoint Property Ltd AGM

Recent moves: Activision Blizzard

January 24, 2018 By KK

I shall begin this post with a... I mean, how often do you get to nerd out about your interests and talk investing at the same time? I'm already excited at the prospect of writing this post that I'm probably going to write something gibberish andhardtounderstandlikethewayimtypingrightnow. :P With that warning out of the way, let's talk Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: … [Read more...] about Recent moves: Activision Blizzard

The cost of active fund management

January 20, 2018 By KK

I recently met a friend who was a new investor. He had a pile of spare cash and wanted to generate a return on it. However, he didn't know where to start and didn't want to actively manage his investments. As a result, he approached a bank, told the branch manager that "Hey, I have this much of cash, I want to put it all into unit trusts." Sounds familiar? I'm pretty sure … [Read more...] about The cost of active fund management

The FOMO is real

January 18, 2018 By KK

The strength of the global market rally since New Year's Day has been nothing short of bonkers. Which makes it even more perplexing when it was off of nothing. No significant news. This has led to some observers saying that this is a FOMO rally. FOMO is a term familiar with Crypto and Western investors, which means I mean look at the 2018 YTD charts of Tencent, … [Read more...] about The FOMO is real

Augmenting your investing life

January 13, 2018 By KK

Last week, I covered how a new investor can use their life experiences to generate investment ideas. Let's say I was SO INSPIRING that you have implemented it in your life, and now wish to take a more active role in obtaining investment ideas, instead of waiting for ideas to drop from the sky. Fret not, today I'll be sharing the small tweaks I made to my day to expand the range … [Read more...] about Augmenting your investing life

Talk: 2018 Economic & Market Outlook

January 9, 2018 By KK

One thing I wanted to do more of in 2018, which I somehow forgot to include in my 2018 expectations and goals, was to grow more professionally and personally through additional qualifications (if any) or classes. In that spirit I attended a course on Python over the past 2 days (which left me even more confused about programming than when I started) and a Dinner talk organised … [Read more...] about Talk: 2018 Economic & Market Outlook

Investing as a way of life

January 6, 2018 By KK

Friends often ask me where I get my stock ideas, what kind of work I do to find ideas and most often, they don't know what stocks to buy. To be honest, I think I'm one of the most lazy investors out there (Please don't bash me?). I read pages and pages of others' blog posts about how they have projected Company X's future profits and cashflows based on assumptions A, B … [Read more...] about Investing as a way of life

Gahmen assisted Retirement

January 4, 2018 By KK

A seismic event occurred yesterday that most Singaporeans don't know / don't care / don't give a beep about. GAHMEN GAVE YOU MONEY Don't believe me? Check your CPF lor... Yes, your annual CPF interest was credited into your CPF account yesterday. I checked my account and I received roughly $2.6k, up from $1.6k in 2016 after some optimising done on my part this … [Read more...] about Gahmen assisted Retirement
