About Myself

First of all, I am just a small dealer sitting behind my trading screen in one of the dealing rooms in Singapore, helping and advising my clients to trade.

I learnt stock investing through the hard way during my early days while I was still serving NS. Then as a naïve investor, I thought share investing would be as easy as ABC after reading a few investing books, and started to dabble in shares with my pathetic savings. Anyone would be able to guess my outcome.

Nevertheless, my interest for the stock market continued to grow while I was in University, to the extent that I decided to join the dealing industry. That opened my eyes to the world of stocks, or rather Singapore stocks. I saw and learnt more things than I had ever imagined. Now, I thought it will be good for me to share my passion and knowledge with whoever is interested, because I had fumbled through the hard way myself, so I understand how challenging it truly is for a newbie to start from scratch alone.

I will start this blog slowly because (1) I’m very new to blogging and am still trying to figure many these things out, and (2) I’m a workaholic who works long hours monitoring the markets and doing research for my clients, so I hardly have any more free time. (Yes, the first truth to being a good investor is: hard work is essential.)

For the beginning, I guess I will start my posts with more of the basic stuff to do with stocks investing first. And I will only focus on the Singapore market as it is what I’m more adept with. Once the basics are done, I will follow up with some of the contents of my daily market updates to my clients. From there on, if there are more theories involved, I will throw them in.

Just to disclaim about my future postings: while discussing about the market or certain stocks, I may express my views. My views here should not be taken as recommendations because the issues to be discussed are time and sentiment sensitive, meaning that they are very likely to be outdated by the time you read them. Therefore, always contact your broker for the most updated financial news. Being kept updated will make a very big difference to your investing decisions and thus your performance. And secondly, my views might turn out to be wrong for all we know.

Side-track a bit, not sure how true it is. But I was once told that the dealers in the finance industry are more updated in the current affairs than the Prime Minister office, all thanks to the Bloomberg machine and Reuters.

Ok, stay tuned!
