Lone wolf investor

Lone Wolf Fund(LWF) Portfolio as at end of August  1.) Thai Beverage PCL   2.) Keppel Corporation   4.) Cash *Stocks are not rank in accordance to capital invested .  *Just for sharing. Not an inducement to buy or sell . Commentary The STI is down by just under 2 percent in the month of August. Some volatility can be seen in some small cap stocks. Some outperforming small cap companies fell from heaven with correction of up to 30 percent. Lone Wolf Fund was lucky to be higher in the month due to exposure to quality big cap stocks with improving business fundamentals.  I sold Pico Far East early August due the stock price hitting my trailing stop. I farm it out at the money. I am gutted for not taking my profit previously. I was aiming for the sky then. Greedy me. Lesson learn. One of the reason for the sale was due to rising covid cases in China. 60 percent of Pico business come from China and greater China. A rise in covid 19 case might disrupt the ability to h...

“The Velvet Rope Economy-How inequality became big business” by Nelson D. Schwartz touches on the raw nerve of the inequality in our society. Businesses in America are ditching their bread and butter customers for more productive wealthier patrons. What is a Velvet Rope Economy? Businesses are providing premium services and goods to the ever growing pool of wealthy individuals who have the money to pay for the best. In America, God created everyone equally but not consumers. Big Corporate are cashing in according to the 80/20 rule or the Pareto Principle. (80 percent of effort goes to the top 20 percent of your big spending customers.) The Velvet Rope Economy is in full display at theme parks. Have anyone observe the pricing difference for a general admission ticket and the so called “express ticket”. Basically express ticket is a queue jumping ticket. Tickets are usually sold at a much higher premium. It doesn’t cost more for the theme parks to sell the express ticket but it does impr...

This is a repost which I wrote a couple of months ago. The latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes released had shown most members favour a tapering by end of this year. The timeline is similar to my own forecast. The Fed is also concern with the runaway valuation of the stock market. The US market did get a reaction, most indices are down around 1% after the announcement. Going forward there might be a repricing of risks by the market participants.  Wolf Money(interest rate watch) June 24, 2021 Lone Wolf Investor interest rate watch officially start this week . Recently Fed Chairperson Jerome Powell had indicated interest rate increase might move forward from the previous communicated timeline of 2024 due to better than expected employment numbers and rising inflation. Now the market is expecting interest rate to increase sometime in 2023, about 1.5-2years from now.

  I was asked “why no vegan food or healthy food in my wolf bargain?” In the name of diversity, this is for you, the vegan.  (The impossible $5.90 made possible by 7-Eleven) Is it possible to have an impossible burger for less than 6 bucks? I would have find it unbelievable too. The cheapest impossible burger could be found for around 15-20 bucks in a cafe. Price of the impossible burger had been coming down recently(just like our stock market). It used to cost 30 bucks a burger when it was first launched.  (Juicy meat patty) Here come the low cost leader, 7-Eleven. I found the impossible burger(plant base) during the recent lockdown where any form of dinning in is forbidden. Armed with an empty stomach I chanced upon the impossible burger at 7-Eleven PLQ. It cost just $5.90. I thought my eyes are playing trick with me but it turnout my skepticism is unfounded. The mushroom Swiss Impossible Burger come with sweet soft burger bun, a nice impossible meat patty, mozzarella c...

The company had just released an announcement stating they have appointed Credit Suisse and UBS as lead managers and financial advisors for a listing of their Australia subsidiaries in ASX by end of 4Q this year. Good news for poor suffering shareholders who had to bear the brunt of falling share price and the cut in dividend over the last 2 years. Finger crossed if they can get the listing over the line.
