Wolf Money(portfolio update end March 2026) part 2

(Image credit: Mindef/CNA; The Singapore Spirit) The Singapore Spirit I would like to join my fellow Singaporeans to praise the RSAF for a job well done. It takes all the skills and bravery of our servicemen and women to pull off the dangerous repatriation operation to the Middle East. The rescue has the making of a Hollywood movie, but this was no Hollywood movie, the danger of getting caught in a crossfire was real. The government has sent 2 round trips using a Multi-Role Tanker Transporter, in short MRTT, for the rescue. It is one of the most advanced refueling transportation planes in the world. It comes with radar avoidance and stealth capabilities. I have been on one of these planes before. The interior of the plane is no different from an Airbus A330. I am not here to be an Airbus salesman. I would like to show my admiration to the RSAF aircrew for putting themselves in harms way to rescue our fellow Singaporeans stranded in a war zone. The RSAF professionalism is 2nd to none. S...

Wolf Money(Hotel Grand Central)

(Image credit: Hotel Grand Central) The below article is for educational purpose only. Kindly refrain from taking any action. It shouldn’t constitute as an investment advice. Please read the disclaimer . I bought a position in Hotel Grand Central. To be honest, this stock is not my idea. I got it from a good friend who is very knowledgeable. He is a value investor that always manages to find hidden gems in the most obscure corner of our market. My hat off to him. Just before the month was up. I received a well-written report by him on Hotel Grand Central(HGC). There are many people dropping ideas on me, but very few ideas go past my initial interest to the buy basket. I will summarise the main context of the report and some of my comments in point form.  1.) The report starts by explaining the poor share price performance of Hotel Grand Central since covid. One of the main reasons was the weakening AUD and NZ. Given HGC has the bulk of their hotels in Australia and New Zealand. Mos...

Wolf Money/Bargain(8 things you need to know about Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

Image
  (The Iconic Petronas Twin Towers) (Hello! Anyone there?; Menara Merdeka Building that resembles the Motorola “Brick” mobile ) It has been close to 35 years since I last set foot in Kuala Lumpur(KL), the capital of Malaysia. I vaguely remember the last time when I was in the capital as a teen. You could see many street hawkers along the road. Nowadays, gone are the messy traffic, although jams are still a common occurrence. The street hawkers are replaced by modern skyscrapers. These are the 8 things you need to know about Kuala Lumpur. History   The name Kuala Lumpur refers to “Muddy Confluence”. The city was founded in 1857 at the junction of the Klang and Gombak rivers, which gives life to commercial activities in the area that transformed this city into a metropolis. It is similar to Singapore where the city centre was built around the Singapore River. KL is one of the three federal territories under the jurisdiction of the central government.
