Why I started and how I grew my portfolio to 6 digit figures as a salaryman in Singapore

Hi all,

I am a 30 year old Singaporean engineer who has been working for close to 5 years in Singapore. I first started off investing mainly in stocks and REITS listed on the SGX mainly to generate dividends. But over the years, I have progressed onto the US and HK markets in search of better capital gains so that I would be able to achieve F.I.R.E (Short form for Financial Independence, Retire Early) earlier to escape the rat race. 

This blog is to document my progress as an investor, allowing me to keep track of my investments, my lessons learnt throughout my investment journey, and also to document my research for my highest conviction stocks (like potential multi-baggers).

My investment philosophy is mainly to find 

1. Stocks that have an asymmetrical risk reward
2. Stocks that have multi-bagger potential
3. Stocks that have not reached mature growth status, meaning there is room for growth
4. Stocks that have optionality


The platforms/ brokerages I use are mainly Standard Chartered mainly and POEMS for Singapore stocks. I also have Tiger broker and use Futu's Moomoo as well. 

Please stay tuned for more exciting content, I will share some of my experiences as an investor in Singapore markets and US/ HK markets and perhaps show you what are the pitfalls to avoid as an investor. Let us grow rich together!!



Take note: I am not a finance expert. Whatever that is documented in this blog are simply my opinions and does not constitute financial advice. Please do your own diligence and do not follow my advice blindly.

 Hi all, We are in the midst of earning season again, and this is usually the period which Investors are always worried, as stock prices (usually) follow the earnings. With an earnings miss, the stock can be crashing down to earth whereas for a stock earnings beat, the stock can be seen going to the moon.  For the last week, there are 2 stocks that have shown exceptional earnings, and have potential to go much higher as they grow their revenue exponentially. 1. UPST  So in a nutshell, Upstart is a disruptor and provides a lending platform that uses a unique proprietary model driven by artificial intelligence (AI) to determine a borrower's creditworthiness. Quarter 2 results were exceptional, given by the key results below. Q2 revenues were $194M > up 1,018% YoY (compared to Q2 2020)- Stunning growth which means a 10X revenue growth, have never seen this kind of results before. Quarter on quarter growth is 60% (Meaning Quarter 2 2021 grew 60% from Quarter 1 2021) Bank ...

How to accelerate your investing and learning process

 Hi all, We all have limited time to do research on companies that we are interested in, or already have a position in. Here are some ways to free up your time tremendously. Even though these are simple steps, these methods made my investing journey more convenient and I am able to absorb more information more quickly in a short period of time.

Using the Stock portfolio & tracker in Yahoo Finance I used to have multiple trading accounts, including Tiger Brokers, POEMS (by Philips), FUTU, Standard Chartered trading account.

Plus it is absolutely FREE, which is ideal for me. Below is a sample onl...

Why chasing $DWAC or $PHUN is not advisable

Image
 Hi all, I am sure many of us witnessed the incredible surge and madness that Digital World Acquisition Corp  ( Ticker: $DWAC ) underwent last few trading days when the SPAC (blank check company) went up multiple folds from just USD $10 to over USD $175, and back to $94.20 as of writing. This blank check company was the hot momentum stock when it announced news that it will be merging with former U.S President Donald Trump's Media and Technology Group. Given that Trump was banned from Twitter and Facebook, it was his chance to get back to the media spotlight with his plans to create this new social media platform.  Following the huge surge in price madness for $DWAC, traders began to search for the next stock that was linked to Donald Trump and they have found it in Phunware Inc ( Ticker: $PHUN ). The company which was founded in 2009, went public via a SPAC in December 2018 and was found that it had some links during the Trump/Pence presidential campaign in dev...
