Profile
I am a 23 years old student currently studying Chemical Engineering at National University of Singapore. I first picked up investment knowledge during the lull periods of my army days. My first purchased stock goes back to 8 November 2011. This translates to me heading into the third year of my investment journey!
My interest in stocks are primarily due to my relatives and parents who trade stocks for capital gains and also to stave off their gambling needs. My investment influences come from successful individuals like Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffet. As you can infer, I am more of a investor rather than a trader. Consequently, I will touch on fundamental aspects of companies.
Purpose
- To help my peers who are not well versed in investing.A number of my female friends have already started on their careers. However, when quizzed about their savings or thoughts on investing, I was surprised to learn that they have no such plans. While I promised to teach them, I have no much spare time to individually introduce them to the world of investments. Hence this blog
- To share and receive good investment ideas
Like many other investment blogs floating around in the internet, I strive to share ideas about undervalued stocks and also receive feedbacks. This will aid me in my journey to gaining more insights in the stock market. Furthermore, I am currently at a crossroad between pursuing a engineering career or an investment career. I hope to meet people from these two industries who can provide valuable advice!
- Archival purposes
Anything written by me here is as it is. Years down the road, this blog will serve as a record when I look back at my investment decisions.
So, this is the end of my first post and I hope that it gives some foreshadowing for what is to come later. The next post shall be about the types of books I've read as a beginner and recommend to newbie investors. In addition, I will give reviews of the brokerages I am using and let newcomers decide which one to use.
