Commentary

Good day everyone. I hope everyone is well. After a month of food and book recommendations. It is time to get back to the core agenda of this blog. The investment side of thing. 

In the month of April I had reduced my portfolio by slightly over 50 percent. The two main reasons for the right sizing. First I am queasy with the elevated stock price around the world. The US market hasn’t experience a 10 percent correction since last year. The second reason is more personal I had been pouring more money into the stock market over the past 6-12 months than I had been for the past 6 years. It is a deliberate intention of mine to take a more defensive stance to reduce market exposure by reverting back to the mean. I had decide to take some profit off the table. Some profit goes into reducing my mortgage. My 2.6% interest loan has somewhat become expensive capital to be using for investment given the extremely low borrowing rate currently. The stock market rally over the past 12 months has been god sent. If someone had told me we are going to have a covid bull run at the height of covid panic last year, given the serious downside risk created by covid 19 on public health, economy and jobs. I would grab the bull market rally any day with both hands in great gratitude. The recovery in stock price has been nothing short of spectacular. It is what I described as “get out of jail free monopoly moment” for the stock market. The easier money had been made. Now the harder money awaits.....

I had further increased my exposure in Pico Far East which I under invested previously. I could be more comfortable with my position if the company doesn’t come out with a nasty profit warning toward end May or early June. All indicators point to a recovery in their China business which is a substantial revenue and profit contributor. World expo in Dubai and Tokyo Olympic are key revenue earner for Pico this year.  Finger crossed for better performance 🤞.

Key event for portfolio in the month of May. Nam Lee Pressed Metal will be reporting their 1st half 2021 result by early May. It will provide me with some clues on the health of their business. I expect the company to show a marked improvement in financial performance given the low base achieved last year amid the covid lockdown in Singapore. Net profit plunged 97% to 125k last year. I will be observing their outlook for refrigeration container frame business which I coined it in my earlier blog as a potential covid 19 transportation play. I am looking out for better performance by them this year.

Given the elevated stock market, would there be a repeat of an old stock market jingle “sell away in May and go away in June”? Seriously nobody knows but I prefer to stay behind the defensive wall. 

Do let me know if you have any suggestion or feedback via email. I wish everyone a profitable month ahead wolfing around for bargain companies. God bless. Thank you.

  (Credit: Yahoo Finance; Last index high of 3900 in 2007, 16 years and counting. Lost decade of Singapore Market) I spent two nights thinking about this write up since it is a subject close to my heart. The passion and concern I had for our stock market are real. I hope SGX can see my commentary in a positive light. It is about solving problem that matters, no witch-hunting was intended. During my last monthly update. I am critical about SGX for not doing enough to promote the vibrancy of our stock market. After the blog, I have been getting more SGX senior executives looking at my LinkedIn profile. I hope people at SGX can see it as constructive criticism. I want to make my point of view clear before anyone get an impression that I am grinding my axe on our stock market. I love Singapore market, I am also a bull on Singaporean companies. How could I not love our stock market where I allocate most of my investment? The declining interest in our stock market did not happen overnight, i

Without knowing a word of French or local culture, she embarked on a difficult journey of communicating with her colleagues and clients, in which it resulted in miscommunication and her being the butt of the joke. Emily assumed everyone in Paris could or wanted to communicate in English. She was forced to learn the language in class so as to communicate well with her colleagues and clients. It is important to understand the language of choice in the area one operates so as to be able to communicate effectively i

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *The video
