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 "Death" Anniversary 07.07.24 ?

The last time I penned a post on my anniversary was in July 2021. As a reminder, I started the blog on 07.07.07

Perhaps it was a sign of things since then, experiencing the slow and painful death on SGX over the last 3 years.



In many countries, the local stock exchanges are supported by government related entities or funds, well, not happening here (see article).

Many have called for action to jump start the stock market, including one from SIAS. The newspapers have also tried to talk up some of the stocks in its commentary but any interest in the featured stocks had rather short-lived.

If I can summarise the state of our stock market - don't bother to list here if you are not a bank or REIT. Even REITs are now challenged.   

So here I am, penning the obituary of my own blog with the article in the Straits Times acting as the final nail in the coffin. ðŸ¤•

I would really urge all the stakeholders to think about how to revive our dire market and time really to get the act together. Could we have done differently and take advantage of the geopolitical tensions to attract Shein to list (or dual list) here instead of London. 
We need some marquee listing to revive our markets and we need global fund managers to set up shops here instead of going to Dubai.

Time for MOF, MAS, IRAS, SGX, GIC, Temasek, Abrn, Blackrock to form a task force? Maybe they might send me an invite to chair the committee? ðŸ˜… SOS.... SOS.... SOS... time to Save Our SGX...
