Don’t think you need worry about Philip. When the shares he bought and hold plummet is usually when he will use margin loan to average down. This has been working well for him in the past. In fact, if he’s holding the shares and sit there do nothing he would not earn much money

To be fair, Philip built his pchem portfolio (biggest position all the while) four years ago, so he has collected around 1.29/share dividend already. That reduce his cost below 7 (6.9), so right now he’s still above the current prices. I think his success on lowering down pretty much half of pchem holding cost attribute to his doubling down during the Covid crash with margin loan. Kudos for his transparency sharing his portfolio. However, I would still advise him to just stick to low cost index fund, as on date this portfolio has been tracked since 2019 it’s very clear that he’s not good in stock picking. He might time the bottom and sold higher prices to reduce cost.
but it’s obvious that stocks he had picked and stay on course, share prices have been underperforming the market.

Its not about the genuine of your portfolio that matters, but your stock pick's performance. Your 3 years 14% vs s&p 500 77% is somehow a misleading indicator because of your superb portfolio managing skill, averaging down with margin when they are plunging down and selling them at the high prices. Meanwhile you would get a 77% performance from s&p sitting still doing nothing, the results would be far more superior if you would have done the similar move with your portfolio

Yes you are right.

Over the same period that I have started to track this portfolio the returns of sp500 is around 77%, while my portfolio had returned 55% over the same period and a 9% return in total dividend over the same investment amount. I have done over 14% worse over 3 years versus sp500, making it around 4+% every year of lower performance.

Did you buy sp500? It is not something I know well.

But one thing is true: I cannot prove this as I did not post any online portfolio since 2009. But there same period since 2009, sp500 only returns 432%, while my investment in QL and topglove and public bank and yinson topped 1000%.

Make of it what you will.

This forum is full of people who can't even read statements but do a lot of talking.


The circumstances leading to the filing of the Writ of Summon and SOC by SDHB is based on SDHB’s contention that KPMG had failed and/or neglected to complete the audit report until and unless a 3rd party independent reviewer is being appointed and complete the findings as raised by KPMG. Ultimately in June 2021, KPMG had suddenly changed their stance.
SDHB contends that the findings raised by KPMG were not substantive in nature that warrants an independent review and that the issues faced by KPMG were entirely attributable to their own negligence in the course of the audit process.
At this juncture, SDHB is of the view that KPMG’s act of halting the audit process pending a 3rd party independent review was in the circumstances negligent as it would have delayed the preparation of the audit report and would under normal circumstances create unnecessary speculation in the market.
For the avoidance of doubt, the findings raised by KPMG has been announced on 28 May 2021.

For Najmat Al Maisan Technical Services LLC, is it really under ICT contract? On serba announcement it seems its under o&m segment: Provision of plant maintenance services, safety relief valve and other associated rotating equipment. add on services with ICT? Kpmg did not say Najmat Al Maisan is a fake company instead KPMG raised scepticism because Najmat Al maisan is not IT related company. Serba reply was that Natmaj is their sponsor's company who received contracts but doesn't have ict background. This is weird. I am also curious who have further studies on this?

To link tan teng boo with warren buffett, its totally an insult for warren buffett. tan teng boo is still stuck in cigarbutt approach, look at most companies he have bought in. Companies with declining business advantages, or even no moats at all. Which business he bought have a clear dominant position, or increasing competitive advantages, which have a good economic of scale? He also misinterpreting the meaning of what charlie had said the big money is from waiting, in fact tan teng boo is waiting for a crash by holding non productive assets: cash. He clearly don't understand the waiting by holding wonderful business at fair value, is way better than buying fair business at cheap price. And by looking at what his approach is, i see he is buying crappy business with cheap historical share price. He should be studying micro business rather than forecasting and trying to interpret macro economy..

Sslee sifu, investing in insas is not = investing in inari. You should treat insas like an investment company. Perhaps a berkshire hathaway kinda, right? I personally do not know where insas is heading all these years, i don't know for what good/bad reasons they are selling inari stakes recently but i do know they have not done any great investment like inari for quite a long time. You should be questioning them on agm for what reasons they want to list insas and sit on board getting paid.

Mfcb and Jaks are in different categories in my opinion. Mfcb have a 80% stake in their power plant, and jaks only have 30% minority stake on their 1200mw power plant. What Mfcb is dealing, water which is free but uncertainty is within how much god offers you. Its not difficult for me to choose a clearer partner whom i want to work with.

There will be no issues for TSMC at all since their foundry position is still irreplaceable. Is this applicable on advanced precision cleaning? Frontken can decide to expand us so can their competitors. Unless you believe inventories should grow a lot globally, splitting to two different regions will not be cost efficient for the rest supply chain players.

Philip sifu, i am not interested with share price performance. Looking at StoneCo business, I do feel there's higher probability StoneCo might be able yank off brazil traditional bank. Even though until now I am not able to digest all the synergy between its acquisitions. Lately management do warn they are still growing but definitely not as fast as recent two years as their business is at mature stages. I do agree nevertheless StoneCo is still growing healthy without covid. Short term StoneCo is cutting off 20% workforce and trying to sell their loans to reduce cost. Mid term still depends on how the country economy can cooperate with covid. Long term its company core competence that matter. My previous question is actually on BRL side and brazil economy, both doesn't look good. Especially on currency itself it already depreciate roughly halve in a year. Zooming out 10 years, it is depreciating year by year at a fast pace. I know currency and macro are things that are beyond our control. But how's your view on this? Appreciate your insights.

For the short term, I have no idea what the markets will do or how stocks will perform. In fact, I managed to be the idiot who sells topglove at rm8 to buy stocks just when the share price jumped by 20% almost the next few days.

In the mid term, STONECO cash levels and business strategy will keep them afloat.

In the long term, I believe STONECO business model is a very very intrinsically strong model, which will be far more effective and customer centric than many of the incumbent Banks, which is a nightmare to navigate in Brazil.

DK66 sifu, thank you for your selfless sharing. That is very shrewd of you taking arbitrage between market price vs your valuation. For Harrison, TWS and Magnum did you started buying after you believe the offer valuation isn't fair and undervalue? That is very brave and shrewd actions that i wouldn't ever think to fight against. My own preference would be finding great if not wonderful business and wait more golden eggs to hatch as i am not very good to patiently wait for better price entry. I admire your boldness decisions and your thoroughly analysis that turns odd in your favour. I hope your investment on jaks turn out a fruitful one very soon.

Posted by DK66 > May 12, 2020 6:05 PM | Report Abuse


I started serious investing after the 2008 crisis. First I bought Harrison when it received a takeover offer of 1.25. One american aggressively bought 10% on the news. I knew it was too low so I bought at 1.20 and later sold at 4.

Then, I bought TWS at RM3 when MSM was taken from Robert Kuok. I knew the sugar price is going to rise. TWS has one of the only 2 sugar licences in Msia. TWS was later taken private at RM9.30.

About the same time I also bought Magnum when it was trying to relist its 4d business taken private few year ago. The relisting entailed CVC taking a stake in Magnum in exchange for its stake in the 4d business. Portion of the stakes must be place out to certain parties at the same price. Valuation of Magnum was kept at 8x PE, a low valuation to benefit certain parties. So, I bought at about RM2.20 and sold at RM4.10 before the listing of MPHB cap.

Then, I bought Dayang before the oil crisis at 1.40 but forced to cut off when the price fell back from RM4 to my cost.

Then, I bought Triplc on Jay's article. I went in at 1.50 and got back 1.95 thru distribution, and now waiting for the balance 1.00.

Philip sifu, i had one account used to be tdameritrade USA too, but they transfer my account to tdameritrade sg now. Not sure why they didn't transfer yours but mine instead. I personally like thinkorswim trading platform better than IB. But most of my portfolio is with IB now as I am using IB margin facility which is incredibly cheap (below 1%). Also IB waived USD 10 monthly maintenance fees if our equity balances are more than USD 100k. I believe its not a problem for you as well.

Posted by Philip ( buy what you understand) > May 8, 2020 5:54 AM | Report Abuse

I only bought foreign stocks twice in the past 1 years. So I only paid 20 USD in commissions for 1 years.

Compare that to if I was with interactive brokers. Whether or not I bought stocks, if I did the same thing I would need to pay 120 USD in commissions or capacity payments even if I did not buy stocks at all.

For me as someone who only has 2 stocks in their portfolio ( both which do not pay dividends).

But one thing too be definitely sure of. The capital protection limit is the same 200k usd, so it might be a good idea to spread your accounts around to protect yourself.

In the end just get whatever makes you feel comfortable. But one thing I do not recommend, never overtrade. One of the big problems with new investors is that they buy and sell too many stocks, and they lose out of the hidden costs of trading.

IB system is designed to make you trade more.
Thinkorswim is more suitable for my investing style as I don't have to keep buying and selling every month. Last year when I bought stoneco I bought 200k shares in one afternoon. After that 1+ year of inactivity.

Fyi I use tdameritrade USA. Cheaper rates, not as low as IB, but acceptable for me.

Tdameritrade sg charges more than $10 commission per trade. I don’t see why it is a preference choice. Philip securities is a better choice than tdameritade as they offer multi markets with similar charges. IB has the most competitive margin rates I have encountered and their service center are prompted. Commission per trade are very competitive as well. Webull is one good choice too, in aspects they are quite close to IB. They offer free real data quote. Maybe Jon sifu can have a look with webull too
