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. Hope these methods will be useful to you guys as well. 


1. 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. It was a chore tracking individual portfolios and I had to login to multiple various accounts to keep track. 

The Stock portfolio feature in Yahoo Finance allowed me to consolidate all my holdings easily and allow me to view my total gains and daily gains, it also allowed me to view my gains in my chosen currency. Plus it is absolutely FREE, which is ideal for me. Below is a sample only.
















2. Using the 'Speed up' feature in Youtube/ or any videos

I am always watching videos on daily basis to complement and understand more about the companies that I am interested in. For videos like Podcasts that are more than 1 hour long, in order to learn more information within a short period of time, it is important to cut down the speed of the videos. This has been a life saviour for me, as I am able to grasp so much more information. To think I only discovered this life hack only last year. 














3. Using Twitter to follow news and 'insider' news about various companies

Using Twitter to obtain financial news has been an absolute life hack for me as it has allowed me to follow the top minds in wall street, such as bankers, hedge fund billionaires and financial advisors for FREE. It has also allowed me to gain insider information regarding the various tickers I follow diligently such as Sea Limited and Teledoc.

By being engaged in the online community, it has allowed me also to gain valuable insights and also engage in constructive discussions and debates that help to revisit my investment thesis and question if my conviction in a particular stock.

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 developing mobile apps.

Why Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) might not be the best option for you

I have heard of many reasons why there are some financial experts or gurus highlighting dollar cost averaging in your investment journey, like investing in a fixed amount of cash every month. Here are some reasons why DCA might or might not be the best option for you. DCA is good for the following reasons: 1. It is a form of forced 'savings', it automates your investment journey, and is ideal for someone who does not want to spend time looking or researching about their investments. This can also remove the emotional portion of investing. 2. It is an excellent form of building out your position in a stock if you feel that the stock is overvalued at this current moment, and you are not sure if the stock will keep going up or go down once you get in it (we all experience that sometimes). For example, lets say you want to build up an entry position in SE, and at current valuations it seems very overvalued according to normal market matrices. You can choose to split up the total am
