Wolf Money(Grab Holdings)sold

Image
  The stock triggered my cut loss level. LWF suffered a 14% drawdown on the trade. It is part of my discipline to keep my losses in check. I would have preferred the key management to show more solidarity with the rest of the minority shareholders by holdings on to their shares. Even at such depressed level there have been share sales done by the CEO, co-founder and key executives recently. LWF holds no share in Grab Holdings. Capital will be redeployed.

Wolf Money(Hotel Grand Central and Olam Group)sold

Image
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 sold my remaining shares in Hotel Grand Central after the share hit my trail stop. The selling, I repeat, is not company-related. HGC continues to be undervalued. My action is more like an overall portfolio management. In fact, I have more confidence in my research than what is going on in the market. There is a clear and present danger of a serious pullback with the market at such crazy valuations. A bubble is forming in the US market. The market might still have another couple of months of upside due to America celebrating 250 years of independence. It might be better to take a defensive approach. The feel-good event might prompt people to invest in things they would never have considered previously. After the celebration, market participants are likely to focus back on the uncertainty created by the midterm election...

Wolf Review(The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man by Tommy Koh)

Image
  I have been reading more books on geopolitics and world affairs. This latest book was inspired by RSAF’s repatriation mission to Saudi Arabia. We are one of the few countries that are allowed to fly into the airspace of a war zone using a military plane. The behind-the-scenes details to get the mission going must be incredible. It reflects our diplomatic efforts to engage a wider region beyond our shores.  The memoir by Professor Tommy Koh gives a helicopter view of his life story and how our foreign policy works, a book written to describe an extraordinary life of a diplomat.  The book begins with the foreword given by his sons, Wei Koh and Aun Koh. There was a glowing tribute to his father for being a gentleman and a skilful diplomat. His sons couldn’t be prouder of his dad’s many accomplishments.  The book starts with a brief introduction to Professor Tommy Koh as a student and a survivor of World War 2. He is probably one of the last few people who lived throug...

Wolf Money(Tai Sin Electric)sold

Image
  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 sold my holdings in Tai Sin Electric today. LWF made a profit of more than 10%, including dividends, for a holding period of 2.5 months. Although I like the business, the rising copper price especially over the last one month, might cause margin pressure, which I have no way of finding out.  (Copper surged more than 12% over the past month) The second reason being, I hope not to get carried away by the bull market. I always remember this phrase: “There is a hiding bear among the bulls. I am reducing my exposure to the market. I will also like to take this opportunity to lock in my first profit for the year, for some good luck after the less than stellar performance in 1Q 26. I continue to like the business and their management. I am raising capital for potential redeployment.  LWF holds no share in the ...

Wolf Money(Grab 1Q 26 earnings call summary)

Image
  I sat through the half hour earnings call. Here are the summaries.  The two main questions regarding Indonesia imposing an 8% maximum cap on riders’ fees and high fuel prices affecting their business. The new fees cap are only specific targeting those 2 wheelers. It only affect 6% of their total mobility GMV. So far the 4 wheelers are unaffected by the rule change. Questions on rising fuel were frequently discussed. The management is helping partners to convert into EVs, especially those markets without fuel subsidies, like Thailand and the Philippines. If those fuel prices continue to be high, the cost will be passed on to users. They will be most willing to help their drivers directly first. Passing on cost to users will be last resort. Through AI implementation across their businesses, it helps drivers and company managed costs through increase productivity. The management guides for costs to stay flat throughout the year.  Grab Financial is gaining operating leverag...
