T.U.B Investing

Building on the success from our 1 st Value/Growth Investing Workshop, Simple Investor and I will be conducting our 2 nd Value/Growth Investing Workshop on the 3 rd November 2017. You can read about our 1 st Value/Growth Investing Workshop from these bloggers whom came for it. Write up by Brian of 3F: http://foreverfinancialfreedom.blogspot.sg/2017/08/review-of-value-growth-investing.html Write up by Christopher of Growing Your Tree of Prosperity: http://treeofprosperity.blogspot.sg/2017/08/ten-year-series-mentality-amongst.html Write up by Richard of Invest Openly: http://www.investopenly.com/2017/08/review-openly-value-and-growth.html In additional to their feedback, we have also gotten other feedback from the participants. And so we will be presenting the investing workshop a bit differently this time and we believe it will be BETTER than the 1 st Value/Growth Investing Workshop. Rather than quantitative, it will be more qualitative. Be it ...

Although I have already conducted a few seminars this year, it is been a while since I have an actual sharing session. But with the creation of our upcoming database website , Simple Investor SG and I felt that we should not be just be marketing the website without doing more. Thus, we will be conducting a Value/Growth Investing Workshop together with the launch of our database website. This Value/Growth Investing Workshop focuses on  the core concepts of Value and Growth Investing. By combining real life experience with the backbone of each investing style, this workshop aims to bring investors back to the basic and focus on what is really useful. Furthermore, I am also glad to have my friend, Poh Lin , to share a useful topic on "What your insurance agents are not telling you". The details of this investing workshop is as follows: - Date: 26 August 2017, Saturday Time: 9am to 12.30pm Location: International Plaza,  10 Anson Rd,  #36-05A , Singap...

When I started this blog, I just wanted to share what I knew about investing. But as I got more involved within the investing scene in Singapore, I felt that there was a lack of understanding towards investing. Scenario that I came across resulting in me having these thoughts: 1. Investors start asking if a particular hot counter (that is no longer hot) can be invested, because its price has suddenly dropped. 2. Investors wanted more returns. This resulted in them getting scammed by others as they go for impossible guaranteed returns unless the person is Warren Buffett . 3. Investors just want hot tips - Buy or Sell. They just don't want to do due diligence. 4. Investors just follow others and buy the hottest counter at that time. Later not, they forget to sell and cannot bear to cut loss. Therefore, being a more experience investor, I just wanted to find more ways to help others . Thus I created my scorecards and upgraded them till The Super Scoreca...

This is supposed to be a post on the part 3 of the review of Singapore Construction Industry. But I came across this 2 articles and felt I had to write about it. Article 1:  Investors cry foul over firm's oil bunkering scheme Article 2:  Now, founder of collapsed JJPTR offers new scheme with 35% returns Why did people still fall for these scams? A conclusion I came across is that because these scheme was proposed to the potential investors as a "guaranteed return" proposal and people are seduced by the high returns. Another reason I came up with is these people do not have experience with other investment and are seduced by these "professionals".  My view is that if you have experience with investment such as shares investment, you will not be interested in these schemes. Thus, I decide I should try to do something about it. I was thinking of re-starting a Super Scorecard workshop. But other than just teaching people to fish, I will a...

Trump claims the White House. That must spell disaster for the market, right? What a lie. Not only did the market not crash, it reacted well to President Trump. Bloomberg didn’t think the market would be remotely excited about Trump as the president. How wrong that was. No one took Trump seriously when he first started. How wrong that was too. Now, we think Asia is in trouble because of Trump’s nationalistic statements. Should you believe that? We don’t have a crystal ball in gaze into. But we do know, Donald Trump is first and foremost, a businessman. Growth in Asia isn’t going to stop. Business here remains as promising as ever, with or without United States. The tech giants, from Alibaba to Amazon to Google are pouring investment into Asia. We are living in a challenging yet exciting times. It will be U.S. loss to neglect Asia. But all these are of little relevance to investors. Unless it answers the fundamental question for investors – What do I do? Here’s o...

This will be my last Sharing Session with T.U.B for the year and it will be relatively different due to the following: 1. It will be conducted on a weekday evening. 2. The session will be shorten to 2.5 hours. The reason for this change is because people have been requesting for weekday sessions and I decided to cater to it. However, since I will be working, the session can only be conducted in the evening. This resulted in the shortening of the session from 5 hours (excluding 1 hour for lunch break) to 2.5 hours. Nevertheless, please do not worry about the lack of content as I will make sure that the full information be presented to the participants. As for newcomers, who intend to come for the 4th Sharing Session with T.U.B, can also come for future sessions that I conduct next year, for recap purposes, for FREE. Repeat participants can come for free as well. Similarly, to the 3rd Sharing Session with T.U.B, partic...

After a successful 1st and 2nd Sharing Session with T.U.B, I have decided to organize the 3rd Sharing Session with T.U.B. As per previous sessions, I will be sharing about the Enhanced Triple S Scorecard . For those that have yet to know, Enhanced Triple S Scorecard is an upgraded version of the Triple S Scorecard and will be the tool to help you to choose good fundamental stocks for the long term . In addition, some of you will know that I am researching on " how to search for the pennies that produce 5% dividend yield ". I had recently completed this research and will be inputting this portion as an Add-On to the Enhanced Triple S Scorecard. Therefore, for the 3rd Sharing Session with T.U.B, this will be the 1st time I am elaborating on the Enhanced Triple S Scorecard with the Dividend Add-On. Participants, who attended these sharing session, will be having a scorecard that is capable of finding value stocks that also...

With the positive feedback received from the participants of the " 1st Sharing Session with T.U.B ", I have decided to conduct the “2nd Sharing Session with T.U.B” to help you to choose good fundamental stocks for the future. I will be showing the participants my Enhanced Triple S Scorecard method which is quite different from other methods and looks at picking good fundamental stocks for the long term. In addition, with Swiber Limited's liquidation news which has caused a ripple effect in the Singapore Stock Market, one should understand that in these difficult times, we have to choose good fundamental stocks that can withstand future unpredictable events. Even thought it is a paid session, I still hope that you can support me and participate in this session as I believe there is much to gain from this sharing session. Basically I will be sharing on: My Value Investing Method How do I screen for stocks? Sharing of Enhanced Triple S Scorecard and how it work...

We have successfully conducted our 1st Sharing Session with T.U.B! Being the coordinator, I have also learn a lot from the audience as well. Being a small group, friendship was also established during the session. Feedback has been positive so far and everyone seem to walk away with something learnt that day. Yup, that's me talking. Thus far, I have been thinking and these pointers seem to have stuck me: 1. My biggest influence on investing didn't come from Warren Buffet or Benjamin Graham. It is James Moniter - an Author of various investment books (Focus Behavioural Investing and Value Investing) and a member of GMO’s Asset Allocation team. Prior to joining GMO in 2009, he was co-head of Global Strategy at Société Générale. 2. I am really getting into deep value investing . This is a high risk, high return strategy and I must really do my due diligence on each stock before I enter. This is a reminder for myself as well. 3. As stated on the slides, Enha...

Dear Readers, I have decided to conduct a "1st Sharing Session with T.U.B" to fulfill 3 purposes: To spread the usefulness of Enhanced Triple S Scorecard - I believe it will come to better use for the user when I explain how the scorecard works and what each criteria meant. Assist readers to pick good fundamental stocks - With “ Brexit ” confirmed, the stock market will be in turmoil for at least the next 2 years. The economy is already in a weaken state, this will only add fuel to fire. Thus, I like to take this opportunity to spread my unique investment methods to the public to help the user to pick good fundamental stocks in future. To spread the awareness of T.U.B Investing Blog - With a successful sharing session, I believe more readers will know of my blog.  This will be my first attempt to do a sharing session with my readers. Although it is a paid session, I still hope you can support me and participate in this session. Basically I will be sharing ...

Recently stocks have risen for almost 1 week and 1 day and STI has exceeded 3000 points. But with the economy still looking weak, any "special" event may disrupt this rising trend. Thus, I am staying on the sidelines for now. So I have been thinking recently...should I try to teach others on my method of value investing and spread my understanding? As you know, my blog started because I wanted to spread what I have learnt over the last 10 years. The establishment of BigFatPurse, The Fifth Person and Value Investing College has also inspired me to try to teach and spread about my way value investing. Obviously, I may not be as good as them. But I hope I can still contribute - such as; 1. My understanding of Value Investing. 2. My way of Value Investing 3. The Value Stock Scorecard Explanation 4. Other Qualitative Views However, I will still be looking for profit - But it will not be a lot. Thus, after hearing what I say, do you have any comment? If you are...
