$C3.ai, Inc.(AI)$  has recently caught the attention of many investors due to its branding and involvement in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). While there is a lot of hype in AI due to its immense potential growth, one must be cognisant that it does not necessary mean that C3.ai is a good investment option. There are several reasons why you should be cautious before investing in it. 1. Loss Making amidst economic uncertainty Firstly, C3.ai is still unprofitable. Despite the AI hype, it has yet to generate any positive net income or cash flow from operations to date. In fact, its net losses have been increasing over the past few years with no clear path to profitability. Given a high interest rate e

Cybersecurity - Red Hot Niche of Future Tech The proliferation and widespread adoption of technology (both corporate and personal lives) has also led to a higher number of data breaches in recent years. Cybercrime has been on the rise at a double digit percentage pace and it is not surprising that cybersecurity is well poised to remain as a high-growth industry for many years to come.  Besides the conventional industries, it is perhaps time for $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$to venture into cybersecurity, the latest red hot nice in tech, that can yield potentially good returns in the decade to come.  Given the rapid pace of growth and development in this industry, it is imperative that one only invests in leaders that have the most lon

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$  definitely rings a bell for most investors out as it has cemented itself as the largest semiconductor foundry. While it may command only a market capitalisation of US$519.8B, it certainly has the potential to join the prestigious trillion-dollar club due to its leadership role in the semiconductor industry. Rising Demand for Semiconductors Semiconductors are the backbone of most modern technology, powering numerous industries from consumer electronics to automotive, data centre and many more. With the rise of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous vehicles, the demand for high-quality semiconductors will continue to exhibit an exponential

The COVID-19 pandemic has attracted a wave of new investors who may think investing is simple and the stock market is platform to get rich quickly. Some may have probably realised that the market is probably a bigger and way more complex animal than it appears to be as most portfolio get decimated under a rising interest rate environment in 2022.  With 2023 likely to another challenging year as recessionary fears starting to haunt investors, it is critical to know the common pitfalls and be prepared to avoid them.  1. Failing to diversify the portfolio It is human nature to have favourite or preferred companies. Posts containing headers such as "How much you have earned if you invested $xxx in xxx stock" are plastered over social media, and also

Despite the recent massive tech sell-off, my conviction for $Microsoft(MSFT)$remains unwavered. Microsoft's recent Q3 earnings in late April was stellar and proved that it is not just a leader,but a dominant one as it continues to innovate. Key highlights of the earnings are as follow:· Revenue was $49.4 billion and increased 18% YoY· Operating income was $20.4 billion and increased YoY· Net income was $16.7 billion and increased 8% YoY· EPS was $2.22 and increased 9% YoYMost notably, its revenue in Intelligent Cloud was up 26%, of which Azure cloud services clocked a revenue growth of over 46%. With most companies adopting a cloud-first for scalability and flexibility, demand for Microsoft's Azure will remain robust as it continues

The implementation of the new Vaccinated Travel Framework, otherwise known as reopening, is a positive catalyst for $SINGAPORE AIRLINES LTD(C6L.SI)$. Target price may be in the range of $5.80-$6. Looking at pre-pandemic levels, SIA share price has been on a downtrend, having averagedaround $8.50-$9 in the year prior to the Covid-19 breakout. The intense competition from budget airlines, coupled with the constant price war from other regular airlines, put great pressure on SIA's share price. Before one gets overly optimistic on the magnitude of VTF on SIA's near-term prospects, it is imperative to look at some key aspects driving share prices: revenue, cost, profitRevenue - SIA has shown that passenger capacity

2022 - Year Full of Challenges & Test of Conviction 2022 is coming to an end with the much hoped-for Santa rally nowhere in sight while recessionary fears start to weigh on stocks again. As we move into the new year, it is good to reflect on some of the mistakes made this year, re-calibrate and prepare for an equally (hopefully not more) challenging 2023. To start off with, my overall US and SG portfolio are in the red though they fare better than the key market indices. While I am not generally worried about my portfolio (primarily due to avoidance of speculative stocks and focusing only on fundamentally strong stocks), there are areas which I could have done better to improve the portfolio performance. 1.
