Last month, I participated in an investment-focused webinar together with my friends Stanley Lim (co-founder of investment education portal, Value Invest Asia) and Sudhan P (investment content strategist at the personal finance platform, Seedly).
The three of us had so much fun talking about stocks and investing during the webinar that we decided to do another one. This time, it was for Season 2, Episode 5, of the Seedly TV series! The title of the episode is: Picking Winning Stocks. It was hosted by Clara Ng (Seedly’s Community Manager) and was streamed live on 13 May 2020 at 8pm.
We – Clara, Stanley, Sudhan, and myself – had a wonderful chat during the episode. Our discussion included the following topics and questions from viewers:
- How Stanley, Sudhan, and myself first got to know each other
- A really fun rapid fire Q&A about our personal lives
- Why it’s important to accept that volatility is a feature of the stock market, and not a sign that something is broken
- A benchmark that a stock must beat
- Why time in the market is more important than timing the market
- Our favourite Singapore REIT (real estate investment trust)
- How to invest $1,000
- Our thoughts on the Straits Times Index – we touched on its underperformance, its composition, and its valuation
- The best time to invest for a dollar cost averaging (DCA) strategy
- Our thoughts on the bank stocks in Singapore
- If the “smart” money is sitting on the sidelines, should individual investors wait for the dip to invest?
- Is it better to take a quick profit on a stock and look for a new stock to invest in, or is it better to buy and hold?
- Our thoughts on Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L) and Singapore’s aviation industry
- How to think about the right time to sell a stock
- The trading platforms we’re using
- How to approach diversification in stocks
- What is something about money that we wish we had known sooner
