My Christmas Wishlist for 2023
Thanks to Moomoo for building and maintaining a cost-efficient platform for trading and investing, and a vibrant community for sharing of ideas, experience and knowledge!

2022 Recap
If I’ve to describe my 2022 portfolio in one word, it’ll have to be “boring”. The core and largest composition of my portfolio is in the banking sector and primarily in our local banking trio DBS, OCBC and UOB that have returned over 4%, 8% and 16% year to date respectively before dividends.
I’ve been holding DBS for the longest time, gradually increasing my stake whenever the stock was on sale, such as when investors were rushing for exits during the onset of COVID-19 pandemic.

Thanksgiving 2022: My Greatest Setback and How It Made Me a Better Investor
The greatest setback in my investment journey was my loss of over S$500K literally overnight in a stock speculation, at a time when my newborn was barely 1 month old and my company was retrenching. The stock was suspended from trading after an accounting fraud was uncovered, and eventually delisted.
The loss was the equivalence of a typical 5-bedroom HDB flat or a small private apartment then, so it still aches me whenev...

Will 2022 World Cup open a window of opportunity for investing?
I used to think that avid football fans would be too focussed on World Cup tournaments and too tired after staying up late to catch live matches, that they would ignore the stock markets the next day after matches of their favourite teams, especially if they became disheartened after their favourite teams lost.
I read a study that found that on average after a nation’s football team lost in the World Cup, its stock market the followi...

When to start investing? The standard answer you heard is probably NOW!
This is true to some extent, but if we dig a bit deeper, a better interpretation might be: the best time to start learning about investing is NOW, but the best time to invest is when an asset's market value is below intrinsic value.
Amid such a sharp pullback from last December, some investors have cashed in on their money, waiting for the"right" moment to enter trades again. F...

My Financial Plan in 2022
I regretted selling my global technology fund at the bottom of the market during the pandemic in 2020. I have since been building my own tech stock portfolio. I’m glad to report that I’ve so far managed to outperform the tech fund I had sold. Unlike 2020 and to a lower degree 2021 when almost all growth stocks I bought had performed rather well, this year I’ll need to perform more due diligence and be more selective in my stock picking in order to continue to do well. On...

My mistake in 2020 and review of 2021
One of my biggest investment regrets was selling my global tech fund near the market bottom last year. I’ve since been working hard to invest directly into tech stocks myself and benchmark again the tech fund which I sold. I’m now almost on par in terms of absolute returns in dollars. One learning I had was that while it was almost impossible to lose money last year as any stock one were to buy was almost sure to rise, this year has differentiated stocks with strong fundamentals which remain resilient and maintain strong growth while COVID-19 virus rages on and new variants emerge. Due diligence becomes important to identify these winners in 2021.

FDA Could Authorize Covid Pills This Week — But Pfizer, Merck Stocks Fall
$Pfizer(PFE.US$$Merck & Co(MRK.US$ The Food and Drug Administration could authorize Covid pills from Pfizer and Merck this week, according to a Tuesday report. But Pfizer stock toppled while Merck shares also fell.
A decision could come as early as Wednesday, people familiar with the matter reportedly told Bloomberg. The authorization of pills called Paxlovid and molnupiravir would be a milestone in the fight against Covid, arriving roughly a year after the first vaccines were authorized.
These pills work differently to prevent the Covid-causing virus from replicating. But the Pfizer drug, Paxlovid, worked slightly better in clinical testing of people infected with Covid.
Still, on the stock market Tuesday, Pfizer stock tumbled 3.4% to close at 58.95. The fall follows bullish news for $Moderna(MRNA.US$ on Monday. Moderna rivals Pfizer on the vaccine side. Its Covid booster led to a strong increase in virus-blocking antibodies. Merck stock dropped 1.1% to 75.54 Tuesday.
