Beginners' Guide

 So, you're a (young) Singaporean and have been hearing about investing, but have no idea where to start...

Well, I've got good news for you, because I've created and compiled a series of articles that I've written to help you get started on your financial journey! Plus points if you're someone young like me just beginning, since I'll be writing from the perspective of well, a Singaporean youth. Of course, I'm not providing any financial advice here. Simply click any of the below links to get started! I recommend reading them in chronological order from top to bottom!

My motivation for creating the "Beginner's Series Guide" label stems from my close friends always asking me something along the lines of "How do I get started?" to which I would jokingly respond to them "I would have to write about a book to answer that question!" Despite the sheer amount of content needed to be produced, I decided to tackle this question bit by bit, slowly writing posts relevant to this topic. 

I would greatly appreciate it if you follow me as well to get notified about my latest posts, and follow me on my investment journey as well! Feel free to contact me as well via the contact form should you have any enquiries regarding any content, or if you would simply like to share your journey :)!

Should You Invest in Haw Par Corporation?

Image
If you didn't know, I've always been a big fan of Urban Exploration (Urbex) in Singapore, and by extension, have gained an appreciation for the history behind Singapore's iconic and forgotten sites. I don't think it'll be too much of a stretch to say that the great majority of Singaporeans have heard of the renowned  Haw Par Villa , a theme park revolving around the central theme of Chinese mythology, illustrating various scenes from punishment in hell to certain aspects of Confucianism. Not to mention, it's an all-time favourite haunt (pun absolutely intended) for paranormal investigators, hoping to capture evidence of the notorious legend involving the park acting as the portal to hell.  Have you ever actually wondered how is it funded though? I certainly do not see it being paraded around by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), and it seems like too much of a niche to have been considered economically viable in the first place since entry to the park is free...

How I Would Invest $200,000 Today As A Singaporean Youth

Image
 Recently, I've had a lot of friends ask me for some good stock picks, with no idea on how to invest their funds. Of course, like I said earlier, I'm not  an investment guru or certified financial planner. Hell, I don't think I'm even generating alpha or creating better risk-adjusted returns. Nevertheless, I figured that it would be fun for me to try to create a $200K SGD portfolio and briefly justify my picks. Do take note that this is from a 3-5+ year investing time frame view, although there are still some picks which would be good long-term holds. It's more of a mixed bag really with a focus on value investing.  Enough chit chat then, let's get straight to the point with some brief description / rationale for each stock! Here's how I would Invest $200,000 Today as a Singaporean Youth... (If I was Responsible) *Information accurate as of 17/3/2022 derived from (Source: SGX Stock Screener ) In descending order from highest weightage to lowest weightage: VW

United Hampshire US REIT 2H DPU Drops 27.9%! Should You Be Concerned?

Image
Introduction  It's no secret that the US Retail REIT comprises the majority of my portfolio. It could even be said that my portfolio IS UHREIT, and I can safely say that this will continue to be the case. If you're a regular reader of my blog, then you may recall in a previous post that I mentioned the fact that I would cut my UHREIT holdings if it reached 0.60 USD per unit . Obviously, that never materialised and instead of shooting up to 0.6, it has recently fallen to 0.44. Hence, in the spirit of doing things in an "opposite" sense, I believe this calls for a time of accumulation, foolish as it may initially seem.  United Hampshire US REIT's Logo (Source: UHREIT's LinkedIn Page ) The headline of UHREIT's 2H DPU drop of 27.9% is  scary . I mean, it's understandable. Living on $60,000 per year of income is extremely different from living on $45,000 per year, so investors are naturally spooked by the seemingly dire results posted by the REIT. However,
