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 12th Anniversary


Today is 7 of July 2019 - 07.07.2019. A whole 12 years has passed. My first post was horrible 😫 and my last anniversary post was here!

I started this blog with a very simple intent, to blog about why i decided to punt an IPO or not and this blog has actually grown to have a life of its own ðŸŽ‰ 


It 's really quite heartening to see the readership base growing to 7,154  albeit the growth has slowed to a single digit 4% in 2019. ðŸ¤•  I will need to find some ways to improve ðŸ†™ the growth rate again. 

The poor growth rate is probably a reflection of the poor IPO markets in Singapore that affects my readership bases and lack of good quality companies seeking listing in Singapore. Other than REIT sector that is still going strong, the market cap of those de-listings probably outweigh those seeking listings. This is a structural problem that require almost immediate attention but i don't think the relevant parties know where to begin.🤒


Hope the 2nd half of 2019 can be a better year for Mr. IPO, he has been eating "grass" 🌵 for a long time already... and if this continues ... may end up in ðŸ˜‡ 

On a lighter note, thank you all for walking this journey with me. My life would not be the same without your companion.
