Random Thoughts...

Recently and as per every such break, I have been giving extra thought to my life. I am turning 35 next year and am pondering on how my life will or rather should turn out in the near and distant future. Amongst the things that I have been thinking about are of cause lifestyle and cost related. I asked myself, do I really need alot of money to lead a decent and simple lifestyle? Are there things in life that I can give up in order to lead a more stress free and happy life? Too many questions, increasingly more answers. One thing is for sure though, I'm thoroughly glad I started my investment portfolio even though markets have been erratic. Once you have a long term horizon, things like this don't really matter anymore. What matters is peace of mind and letting nature take its course - You really don't need alot to be contented.

As always, stay calm and invest on & look for the pot of happiness at the end of the rainbow.

God Bless

Stock Market and Portfolio Updates

Dear Readers

It's been a couple of months since I last posted. I have been really busy with my CFA exam preparations and just came back from a business trip to Tokyo.

How the stock markets have reacted since Oct. It has been a volatile couple of months but at the same time I see a myriad of opportunities opening up. My position in Sembcorp Industries has fallen a fair bit ever since Sembcorp Marine announced a profit warning a week or so ago. That being said, there are indeed chances to re-enter the market selectively to average down some of my positions. I do not forsee adding any different position at this juncture.

Will provide updates shortly. And rock on folks!
