I have been looking at the companies listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange more frequently these days. As such, I have added a new link 'Daily HKSE Announcements' to the side-bar section 'Daily Routine'. Interested readers can take a look at it.After looking through a few companies listed in HKSE, I discovered that the valuations of companies listed in SGX are really cheaper compared to that in

I got to know about this company JEL Corporation (J16.SG) after one of my readers dropped me an email asking for help. This company has been halted for trading since 28-Sep-2007, due to accounting irregularities found by KPMG Forensic. As such, many are still holding on to their stocks and are unable to sell their holdings after 4 months.This is one of the worst nightmares for long-term investors

NetJets, the incontestable leader in the private jet business is flying higher these days. It leases planes to customers, and allows corporates or individuals to buy fractions of time to fly in private jets. The rental fees are not cheap, but they are definitely affordable as compared to the purchase of an entire aircraft.10 years ago in 1998, Warren Buffett bought this company. Honestly, we

I hope to educate more readers on the importance of long-term investing, as I realised many around me are still very new to this term. Some are afraid of it, and others are avoiding it. If we continue to put our savings in the bank, we eventually end up losing more money due to inflation, and this will definitely jeopardise our journey to financial freedom.Please help to spread the investing

I chanced upon a good article from Glenn Curtis on how Warren Buffett thinks. Hopefully readers can change their mindsets and think like the greatest investor to improve their stock selections.Following are excerpts by Glenn Curtis:Many years back, Robert G.

The Singapore market has been trending down since the start of this year. When you switch on your machine these days, more often than not, you will see a sea of red numbers. Companies are selling at cheaper prices day after day, but how cheap is considered cheap? And when do we know if the prices have bottomed?Honestly, nobody knows when the prices have bottomed, so do not waste your time trying

I did a brief calculation on a sample company Ouhua (AJ2.SG) and you may download it here. I have added some comments to aid all who are interested in using the worksheet. Any comments are welcomed and I am glad to answer any of your queries.

Peer Comparison is always on my list when it comes to determining if a company is a good buy. When all conditions specific to a company are satisfied, you can then proceed to compare this company with respect to other firms operating in the same industry/environment.

Ever since my interest in investing grew, there have always been 2 sites which I visit every single day. They can be found on the sidebar under the header 'Daily Routine'. I can never go to bed without looking through all the SGX announcements and the research reports which are published by the various research houses. Reading of such information has became a habit of mine and it is through these

I have put up a watchlist for the companies which are worth taking note of. You may view it by clicking here. I will be updating it as I discover more gems. However, due to time constraints, I might include companies in the watchlist even before publishing its research report. Reason being I do not wish to see my readers miss any good opportunities due to the time delayed in my report publishing.

Some of my readers have requested me to share my worksheet on computing intrinsic value of companies. Basically, my primary way of computing a company's value is the forecasting of the amount of cash which is generated throughout the years. Using the discounted cash flow valuation, I will then derive the intrinsic value of the company. There are actually many kinds of valuation tools out in the

Attached is a link which discusses about selling your holdings when your company reports a piece of good news. Ironical? It looks so on first sight, but I totally agree with Glenn Curtis.
