To The Moon

A review of my earlier comments about Apple.  Well, its the same story - not much improvement in the innovative segment. Can you imagine the company is still showcasing slow motion capability in it's 16 Pro - a feature long available even in mid range of other brand. Confidence in the company's products is sapping and Tim Cook and other executives are selling recently. The app store is the only cash cow for now. However this may fall into the same bin if Apple still continues to charge exorbitant fees as compared to other challengers.. Innovation is lacking in this department too.  If Tim Cook and company still think that the Steve Jobs post strategies he left behind works, then sadly there's nothing left to say except to sell.  Just my opinion, sell now if you can and

Can I say something about this phenomenon? While the historical data helps us to understand accuracy and the risk associated with 2 period in question, it's unwise to challenge the summation for that is actually talking for the sake of talking. So, what doeI want to say? I see this adage as a good opportunity to both rebalance and relook our existing portfolios. Good stocks can be rebalanced while those fails to meet expectations can be either reduced or removed to cut losses. It maybe alsoea good time to take profits either trimming our holdings or sell all if our analysis of that particular stocks has turned lesser as a growth stock and little dividend benefits. I welcome any comments on this as mutual learning helps all of us. Good luck!

Can I say something? While I have no argument about the recommended stocks, it's laughable that an investment publications could say "... Buy and pass down to your children" as if the stocks are forever resilient. Why? Are there great blue chips, you may ask. Generally there's no guarantee that past or present performance will remain the same in the future. This is the buyer's beware statement of every investment advice or tips.  Prevalent investment environment today is and will never be the same in the future depending on the global investment trends and new opportunity and requirements. Just an example, did you hear of Tesla during the Ford era? The caption of " buy and pass down.." goes against other investment basics that we learned in school.  The stocks may or may not

Which bank? May I share my little view? Some may called the banks old fashioned stocks and unexciting. Generative AI, electric cars, are some favourable new fad. So, should we ignore the banks or just choose one? My take is to get all if you can. Or else in ascending alphabetical order I e DBS, OCBC and UOB.  Btw, I own all 3 and looking to add whether price is right. Without the banks, generative AI or electric car ventures cannot operate efficiency as funds come mainly from the banks and financial transactions are carried out with the banks, right? All 3 local banks unlike those in the US, particularly regional and rural ones are safe with their prudent strategies and reserve requirement.  N Being a small island state, Sg cannot afford failure of the banking system and hence th

May I add my 2 cent worth? Apple seems a bit lost about its core business and business strategies. Can Apple be all over the places from smart car, mobile phone, generative AI, consumer wearables and what not without the above business sense and twchnological prowess of the Steve Job's era? Steve Job might be able to help alleviate the solution but not completely if he was still around. His techological brilliance and smart approach may help in some areas such as telecommunications and mobile phone related projects but not all definitely including the strapped smart car.  The smart car never took off likely due to the fast evolving paces of industry which Apple couldn't manage to obtain an advantage from it's late to start strategy that's wisely use in the various generations of

If all hold truth perhaps the 2 rumour mongers should be held responsible for the loss and anxiety to Olam's stakeholders so that they and any other publications think twice before spreading untruth or malicious lies for their own gains.  Shorting a stock for anticipated drop in current price is different from manipulative frauds through shareholders emotional response Your view in this matter?

There are 2 pressing issues that I would like to share my view, namely public housing and government agencies cost control. 1. Public housing. Has anyone in the relevant authority consider or relook at the policy of artificially pricing of new flats via various subsidy that indirectly affect the supply and demand of such flats esp when the owners are quick to resell the flats after the 5 yr MOP for 'gain' from the subsidized price which can be substantiality lower than the si called open market price.  A relook at the MOP and high subsidy giving prior consideration to the control of housing inflation rather than political aims of artificial affordability of such subsidized housing prices. Eg. Putting a cap on the total subsidy vis-a-vis percentage cap of the prevailing

Just my 2 cent worth. Although I hate to accept the facts it's obvious Apple is on downward trends. I sum it that the end long due results is its own doings over the recent years, enjoying the fruits of the technogical prowess from the Steve Jobs days and his influence several years after his demise.  No longer was technology advancement and innovation more important than marketing and reaping its very own customers dry with ridiculous marketing gimmickselike "Apple is red now" banking on offering of new colour cover while it is oblivious to its competitors tossing and out beating on innovation and new technology such as satellite telephony and user experience just to name a few. Apple can still come back if it can adjust it's corporate thinking and look back at whose e

Just my view which I add on from my previous comment.  I shall summarize as follows: 1. Direction - is Tesla an EV company or something else? Even the management is confused, I beg to believe 2. Strategy - is T a leaders in its own right or just another indulging in pricing strategy or the lack of it, I would say price wars for a little bit more of the overall market share 3. Is T a one-man show or seemingly a dynamic management team, Im confused at times 4. Is T still focusing on state of the arts technology prowess as it starts with or... You fill in the blank! Just my 2-cent worth albeit in a question format 

A case of too little too late. 2020 is a long time ago, isn't it? Being a fan of some fanciful product is one time and investing in one is another, altogether.  I was a fan when Steve Jobs revolutionised the mobile phone industry with its first few iPhones until his demises whom I believe brings along the iPhone with him. Since iPhone 8 there's no longer anything that excites and urges to get hold of one. I sold my iPhone 8 for a small profit and got an Android for the first time s. Since then, Apple could not arouse anymore and with the iPhone 15 it's a joke when you compare with its competitors.  However at the same time I continued to invest in Apples and made handsome profits thanks to Steve and his legacy. However as I saw it that if Apple continues the ways it does business
