Focus on the business , not the stock price
I started to invest when i was a fresh graduate. It was probably not investing and more gambling. I would read the forum and scanned for stock tips. Needless to say, I lost quite a bit of money.
Stubborn as a mule, I did not learn my lessons and continue to buy companies such as$Hyflux (600.SG)$because of the yield or speculate in companies such as Noble.
An old friend enlighten me with his dividend investing method. I began to relearn investing.
I started to build a small portfolio of dividend and blue chips stocks such as$DBS (D05.SG)$. The unexpected Covid hit the dividend but i held on and did not panic.
The entry of Moomoo in the market allows me to dip my toes into the US market. I use a checklist to determine whether to invest in the company and i focus on growth companies. The list include:
1. Financials 2. Businesss (Moat, Growth, Optionality, TAM etc) 3. Management 4. Risk( High valuation, customer concentration, political risk etc) The list is not perfect but it gives me a good starting point. It also help me to build conviction and focus on the business.
I also reflected on my mistakes to learn from them. Some learning points include: 1. Let go of winners too early 2. Hold on to losers and lost the opportunity cost.
The journey does not end here. I am still constantlt reading and learning from the experts. My goal us is to achieve a portfolio that can fund my monthly expenses.
