1.Briefly introduce yourself and share your personal investment growth experience.

I am MilkTeaBro, the user name in the Tiger community.

My family live in Singapore, me and my wife originally came from China.

I began to do some financial investments since I started to work, including cash market fund, stocks fund, Singapore savings bond, and stocks.

I used my idle cash account to invest. I only started heavily investing in the stock market after COVID-19.

There are two reasons for active investment in stock in recent years.

First, I am in the middle age, I don't have any house loan and my salary income savings are more than 400K SGD.

Second, COVID-19 and Fed interest hikes crisis created bargain hunting chances.

2. How did you make your first bucket of gold?

The first bucket of gold was from oil stocks. $WTI Crude Oil - main 2311(CLmain)$

Oil prices was once negative in 2020 COVID-19 crisis for a while. I invested more than 200k USD in two oil company stocks, then I sold them out after vaccine was applied in major economies. I earned about 30% profits, and held them for more than a year.

During the darkest days in 2020, I really felt stressed sometimes.

"Will the big oil company go bankruptcy?"

Logically, COVID-19 will end and the world will still need oil. So the simple common sense helped me to buy and hold oil stocks.

$Royal Dutch Shell PLC(RDS.B)$

3. What is your investment strategy when it comes to different market conditions?

I am a conservative investor. I only invest stocks, not options, futures...

And I only invest in stocks when markets are bad.

If stocks are in fair value, I put most money in Singapore savings bonds.

4. What is the most impressive investment experience you have had?

During the COVID-19 period, Top Glove $TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD(BVA.SI)$ earned good money. But it is a value trap, good money only lasts for a short time. Then rubber gloves became over supplied, and the financial losses occured.

I learned a lesson from it with 3000 SGD case learning fee.

5. How do you select stocks and control risks?

I always start and add positions in the bear market. I chose low PE, PB and high dividend stocks. Most of them are matured company with slow pace growth.

I don't touch sexy stocks. I don't understand their business and can't judge if their high PE are reasonable.

6. What is your follow-up trading plan? What are the key directions you pay attention to?

My current investment cycle started from Q1 2022. I called it "Fed interest hike campaign."

This time, the common sense is that US can't hold restricted interest for long term.

US government and high tech industry can only survive in low interest rates environment. High tech research needs to burn money.

I kept adding positions following FOMC meeting pace in emerging markets ETF, HK ETF and Singapore dividend stocks from Q1 2022.

I am sure the US Fed interest rate will go below 2%, but I don't know when it will.

When the US interest rate is at a normal level,

"Emerging markets ETF, HK ETF and Singapore dividend stocks will rise up to fair value."
