• Wow! Good to see u back in action after so Long. Keep it up!

• Hi Ee Tat, Thanks for the kind words :-)

• Hihi! Nice to see your update again. Any reason why you sold off OCBC? Just curious.

• Hi EJ,
  No particular reason. Just taking some profits off the table since it has ran up quite abit.

• I was just thinking about you! Kept checking but no new updates. Glad to see you are back and hope you have been well! Not too busy at work I hope.

• Hi Mrs Spoon,
  Awwww...such a sweet msg. You touched my heart. While the industries were trying to transform themselves, me too is also going thru transformation. Not easy... :)

• Transformation isn't easy but a phoenix will rise from the ashes in time! Jia you.

  The SG companies are indeed worrying. I am invested in a lot of local companies - don't really dabble in US shares although I kept thinking of buying into FB and Google. Any reason why you bought tencents in the HK market? It is harder to find information on Tencents compared to the rest.

• Hi Mrs Spoon,
  Thanks. I will and I can :).

  Subscribe to Nikkei Asian Review and you will have more insights into the companies in our region e.g. https://asia.nikkei.com/magazine/20170921/On-the-Cover/Why-Tencent-and-Alibaba-are-China-s-most-powerful-investors. Tencent is dominating the wallet space via WeChat in the China Market besides being famous as a game provider. They are basically disrupting the Banks and are aggressively competing with Alibaba to roll out wallet and buy out ecommerce and logistics companies in Asia. The easiest way to understand them is through their annual reports https://www.tencent.com/en-us/achievement_timeline.html. Please be aware of the risk dabbling into China stocks as they are famous for dodgy accounting practices as well as heavy government intervention.

• thanks so much - i will check out those link.i just saw your latest post on the sale of starhub. wow! the art of selling is not easy as well. i am one of them - holding on to SPH and not sure of when to sell. May i know what you use to buy HKSE shares? I am looking at google and fb but the prices are flying sky high

• Hi mrs spoon, I am currently using DBS vickers. I believe most of the local brokerage houses will support US and Hong Kong markets. Ya. Google and FB are at crazy prices now.

• It had been a long time since I see any updates here :)
  Welcome back :)

• Thanks sleepydevil :). Welcome to the community ! Looking forward to learning from you !

• I just shared your blog with some peers about a week ago but mentioned you didn't post for a while. Good to see you back.

  Anyway, i was sharing your blog because of the US exposures and the progressively deconcentrating in Starhub, which had good lessons.

  Good luck ahead

• Hi Leopard,
  Thanks for sharing :). It's exciting to meet so many new bloggers in the community ! Looking forward to learning from you.

• no more dividend play on singapore?

• Hi StealthNinja,
  If I can find good valued companies for dividend play in Singapore, I will definitely play but I haven't found a good one yet with the right price.

• Hello lady, Glad to see some updates! You are my inspiration!
  The numbers speaks for themselves, the US portfolio is really quite impressive. May I know your thoughts about the 30% tax on the dividends.
  I bought visa, which has given me great returns as well.

• Hi Susan,
  So happy to meet so many ladies getting more engaged in investment :). It is a fact that US stocks will incur 30% tax for dividends. My initial strategy was to invest the Singapore market for dividends and US for growth. But I am currently staying out and trimming down the Singapore Market until I see that the economy and the local companies are capable of transforming themselves against the disruption happening globally. Glad you are making money in Visa. What are you thoughts with regards to digital wallets competing with credit cards? I read somewhere that they predict in the next few years, digital wallets e.g paylah equivalent might displace credit cards.

• welcome back! can i know where do you buy Tencent from? the hkse or nasdaq? thanks

• Hi Ravel,
  Thanks! You can buy from HKSE.

• Glad to see you posting again. I have been following your blog (though I hardly post any comments). Seeing your US portfolio grow is inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

• Hi diyquant,
  Wow ! Interesting that you are using automated trading. Have always been curious about the success rate and feasibility. In fact, have been tracking this Manuel Fx on Twitter which seemed quite good in their projection of trends. Do you think it's easy/possible to program Fibonacci into the automated algorithm?

• sorry for being too direct. are you still single? :p maybe some updates on "about me" would be good.

• Hi man of few ks,
  Coincidentally, I will be writing on this topic in my upcoming post. Watch this space :)
