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. I suspect this will make the blog more useful as well. Rather than writing about every deal, I can spend more time sharing my thoughts on the handful that I believe deserve attention. That bring...

Happy Chinese New Year!


This is a confusing zodiac. Is this suppose to be the year of the goat or the year of the sheep

Here is a link to explain the difference between the goat and the ram but my view is that since the Chinese zodiac originated from China, it is probably more of a mountain "goat" than a woolly sheep found in New Zealand. 

It is also interesting to note that reference to this animal is usually "negative" in Chinese idioms. I can easily think of a few idioms such as 羊毛出在羊身上, 亡羊补牢, 挂羊头卖狗肉, 顺手牵羊。If you are interested to learn about some of the idioms, the link is here.



I take this opportunity to wish readers a healthy and prosperous year of the Green Wooden Goat.

祝愿大家羊年身体健康,洋洋得意,心想事成!

This post is intentionally scheduled for an auspicious date and time too. 18 Feb 8:08 am. ^_^

Nice post but I wonder for years and years, human have place more faith in external objects outside of themselves more than their god given abilities to achieve what they truly want in life.

And the belief created a multi billion dollars markets for many signs and stuffs that predicts one fortune, relationship and even power in life.

For a little fun sake, I think it is ok if one subscribe to what the goat year has map out for them but take it with a pinch of salt. But if one is serious about their destiny this year and beyond, they should evaluate their options carefully.

Happy new year !
