What a roller coaster ride with Tesla

I started a position with Tesla in late October last year. For a good two months before that, Tesla share price was hovering steadily at around US$300 per share. Then it dived suddenly in early October before regaining some support at around US$225. That's when I entered to buy some Tesla shares and hoping for …

Mid Year Review (3) – SG saves the day

The returns of my US and HK stocks have been disappointing - see previous posts. My SG stocks are holding up much better. In fact, STI index is up 4% year to date. Like its US counterparts, it hit the lowest point in mid June this year but has since recovered strongly. Photo by Maxim …

Week 2 Highlights: CityDev, ARA LOGOS Rights & SPH Reit Dividends

STI finally broke through the 3000 points barrier yesterday. However, it did not make as much progress as previous week. The banks were subdued after a spectacular run last week.

Top on my watchlist …

Finally found some quiet moments to reflect on what happened in the market last week and sketch some plans for this week. Confidence was shaken last Thursday when US market tumbled. The seemingly unstoppable rally that started in late March has started to reveal a chink in the amour. Will it crack further or heal …

I am sure all the investors out there will agree that it was an unforgettable 4 months start to the year 2020.
