Who Are We?


We're part of a private group of retail value investors residing in Singapore, and other like-minded friends, we seek to add value to anyone who inspires to build a small amount of wealth for their family and friends through the magic of compounding (the 8th wonder of the world) over a long time frame.

Why Value Investing?

Value investing is a proven philosophy and practice followed by savvy investors all over the world.  Though not all value investors will hold the same asset classes or securities in their portfolio, the basic concept of buying lowly (sometimes insanely) priced assets based on its value rather than what is offered by the market, has been followed faithfully by thousands and thousands of people around the globe.

Some people doubt if value investing is applicable in countries outside USA (the origin country of value investing).  Surprisingly, value investing IS equally, if not more readily applicable in almost any country where assets have been greatly mis-priced due to panic selling by speculators.  Human psychology does not differ much irregardless of their nationality, race and religion.  It doesn't matter if one is in the North Pole or the South Pole.  Bulls and Bears and always applicable well, although the Polar Bears seem to be hammering the Ox now.  Opportunity arises often because majority of the retail investors are speculators, whom they do not bother to recognize the value of the assets they hold.  Panic selling is a great opportunity for value investors to buy valuable assets at huge discounts.

Purpose:

The objective of this site is to concentrate on up-to-date information in a one-stop practical solution that is useful for retail value investors who are keeping a close watch on their concentrated basket of Golden eggs (that lay more eggs!).  This objective is accomplish by focusing on news and changes in businesses and industries for current insights and investment opportunities from various online communities.
