Sunday, February 11th, 2007There are 2 widely used techniques of analysis of share prices. Fundamental analysis which looks at the bottom line of a company, its management, its people and its products / services. Technical analysis generally looks at the stock chart and looks for known patterns that show good potential of breaking out. But which method is […]
Review: China Farm
Friday, February 9th, 2007What a debut! IPO at $0.345, opened at $1 on day 1!
Sincerely congradulate those who successfuly subscribed to it. But “BOO!” to those who sold it on day 1. This counter is meant to be held on to. For the long term.
So where do we go from here? Having only being vested at $0.995, I […]
Buy: China Farm
Thursday, February 8th, 2007I’ve been off the blogging mood for the last 2 years due to my anticipation for this stock.
“Please give me some lots for my subscription… Please!”
Coupled with the fear for me affecting the subscription (due to the sudden increase in visitors to my blog, and with more people influenced, less chance for me to get […]
Quick Lesson: Unit Trusts
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007As requested, many people have been asking me about my claims for high returns in unit trusts. I think this misconception is due to many not knowing and undetstanding the principles of unit trusts.
The basics
Unit trusts are basically funds “trusted” to fund managers to be invested accordingly. There are different type of funds. High returns […]
Buy: Raffles Education
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007“What a week!!! Its like hitting the home run!”
Anyway, on a serious note, Raffles Education has traded at a high of $2.360, way past my target of $2.00.
Raffles Education has been brought to its all time high due to interest by investors for its dividend (though not much <1%>$2.00), on very low volume.
Fundamentals for the […]
Review: SunVic
Tuesday, February 6th, 2007SunVic made a extremely impressive debut. Looks like the market is bullish about SunVic’s potential. Its is however my opinion that this stock is over hyped, and over priced in a long run. With a poor showing in 1H 06, one must not forget a possible poor showing in FY06. That might cause shareholders to […]
Advertorial: How to make money in stocks
Sunday, February 4th, 2007I’ve been asked repeatedly how I learn my stock picking techniques. Over the years since I became interested, I’ve been reading into the mechanics of the economy, micro and macro. Its only with that understanding that I’ve been able to understand the stock market, quickly.
I’ve been largely influenced by this book, “How to Make Money […]
Quick Lesson: What the Rich Does, and the Rest Don’t (part 3: Compounded Interest)
Sunday, February 4th, 2007It was in an article I read recently, that when asked what was the most powerful math formula known to him, Einstein said it was “Compounded Interest”. Indeed.
The basic idea is simple. For every return in terms of capital gain and dividends, you reinvest them, to see exponential growth.
Lets say you have $10,000 to begin […]
Review: IPO SunVic Chemical
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007In the recent “Edge”, SunVic was hailed as an IPO that would open at $0.60 on day 1 of trading. Thats 100% gain from its IPO of $0.30. But here is why i think China Farm is a better choice over SunVic.
From their prospectus, you can see that from FY03 to FY05, the company’s profits […]
Buy: IPO China Farm
Thursday, February 1st, 2007As the name suggests, China Farm is a farm equipment supplier to farms, in China. They produce harvesters and plough machines (bye bye bulls hello stock bull), and they produce diesel engines for various uses, including in their own product.
In terms of prospects, there is lots. Looking back that the industrial age in USA, farms […]
