Singapore IPOs: Why I No Longer Cover Every Listing

Some readers may have noticed that I have not been writing about every Singapore IPO since last year. The simple reason is that life has become busier. Between my day job, an increasingly packed travel schedule, family commitments and desire to play more golf, I have become much more selective about how I spend my time.  Writing detailed IPO reviews takes time — reading prospectuses, analysing financials, comparing valuations and understanding the competitive landscape. While I still enjoy investing and writing, I no longer feel the need to cover every IPO that comes to market. Instead, going forward, I will probably focus only on IPOs where I am seriously considering investing my own money or where there is something particularly interesting that is worth discussing.

Friends of Mr. IPO Update

As promised, i will do an update on my post on 2 Sep 12 where i set a target of 1,000 friends by end of the year.

The number of friends have increased from 372 to 549. An increase of 47% over 1.5 months. This time round, i will attribute the increase in friends to the sudden influx of companies seeking IPO on SGX. These companies just have to do this don't they?! Can they just queue up in an orderly fashion!


My readers continue to be predominantly male! In fact, the number of female readers have dropped by a 2% but the number of younger readers in the 18-24 age group has increased from 11.7% to 16%. It is good to see that because the readers from the 18-34 age groups will be the ones that will benefit the most due to their longer runway.


I am only at the halfway mark to the 1,000 friends. It needs to grow by another 82% from now till 31 Dec 2012... wow... seems like a tough target to achieve? 

Happy "like"ing. :)
