I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

  1. Blue chips flounder as pennies lead

    STI makes a modest recovery before ending down for a third straight session

    By R Sivanithy




    HAVING already dropped 52 points in total on Friday and Monday, the Straits Times Index yesterday initially managed a modest rebound, probably thanks to short-covering.

    As the session progressed, however, the selling resumed, dragging the index to a third consecutive loss, this time 2.94 points at 3,120.88.

    Unit turnover remained elevated at 3.9 billion units due largely to penny punting, and dollar turnover was raised past the billion dollar mark at $1.2 billion thanks to increased volume done in OCBC - about 19 million. The counter ended 12 cents down at $9.75 after the bank said it is in talks to possibly take over Hong Kong's Wing Hang Bank, and its trades contributed $182 million towards total turnover.

    Excluding warrants there were 232 rises versus 193 falls in the whole market. Penny stocks in play included Federal International, KLW and Charisma Energy.
