RM5k, for 1 and a half hour a month for a year. And me replying your whatsapp now and then. Hahaha
But i'll only do so, once i finish writing my free "Learn investing the hard way" articles, Which knowing me and my lohsoh-ness, will probably end up 300,000 words or more.
I have more than 100% of my networth in stocks. I'm not going to count my private stakes, even thought i think one of them should be quite valuable.
I don't diversify as i think equities is the best asset class. Property? Let someone buy it, i don't want.
Even if it was my own money only, i'm very conservative. I used to do a decision tree, economic utility analysis, on whether i should buy an extra egg during lunch or not when i was younger.
Will the extra egg for RM1, provide enough pleasure to warrant the RM1, compared to the other ways i can spend the money.
Again, i don't avoid paper loss, as i've shown many times, i avoid permanent loss of capital.
I would buy PetronM today, and be happy if it falls to RM3 next month.
You are right, i focus alot more on not losing money than making money.
The focus of most investors differs from that of value investors. Most investors are primarily oriented toward return, how much they can make and pay little attention to risk, how much they can lose.
Respectfully, i think your sheer focus on following the smell of money only, also restrains your intellectual development when it comes to investing.
When i read your articles today, and those 2 years ago, i can't see a greater depth in how you think etc.
To be fair, its a decently high bar.

you make a mistake by setting this fund management toy for your relatives and friends
because of the need to preserve capital and avoid paper loss, you box yourself into a corner by avoiding all the sexy girls and only stick with the lady book worms
it restrains (at first I was thinking of saying retard, but better not) your intellectual development
Warren Buffet could be dead wrong. you go figure out how much he lost by buying APPLE at the highest price last year. i don't think he can recover the sum in the coming years.
if you see the fatal error is because apple is losing its competitive advantage now...
all of WB analysis works well earlier as most of the stock with growth potential in U.S had its MOAT....the resilient competitive edge...
when you take that out from the equation...all assumptions breaks down..

Choivo capital, probably you have a very good holding power. nowadays milenials and youngster invest in the stock market thinking to make fast bucks. they take up personal loans and burn it all thru contra. but I do agree with you, I too is not afraid of paper loss but instead of permanent capital loss. Btw Malaysia market is really very very small, I am trying to learn about the US and HK market and trust me , the world is really really big out there .
Warren buffet, Peter Lynch, Philip fisher or whoever la. we can read and listen but it is our own judgement and research that matters in the end.
hi Jon, if you need a decision tree to eat an egg, that means your character is naturally cautious. Then better stick to what you are comfortable with, ignore what I said.
Correct, WB made alot mistakes. I can both hand also not enough to count. Even the purchase of the initial berkshire hathaway was a mistake.
Having said that, this was the man who turned USD17 to USD290,000, And have a 17% for 50 year track record. His initial 20 years was almost 30% per annum.
His success, far far exceed his failures.
So we have that. Having said that, at his price, apple is pretty good. And given the markets now, everyone would wish they are WB with USD100b to put to work.
I wont be surprised if he bought USD50b worth of apple in the last 3 months.

Haha im at a point, where the pleasure of eating an egg is more than RM1 now, but not by much! I'm still very kiam when i think its not worth it, even if its 50 sen. Hahaha. To a fault probably.
I am still very careful with money. But i'd like to think its a calculated care, and when i should put alot of money down, i will.
Its one thing to be cautious, and another to be cautious to a fault.
Good luck with your currymee.

So obvious after Icon use Jonathan Choi Yi Kit photo as profile picture, Jonathan Choi Yi Kit reply to Icon in better manners. Choice of words also maybe think twice. Tone in writing also give face.
Jonathan Choi Yi Kit, why dare not sarcastic Icon anymore? Why no more condemn and whacking? Scared?

in my opinion, you make a mistake by setting up this fund management toy for your relatives and friends
you structure the fund's remuneration system in such a way that you need to focus on capital preservation.
The very objective of Jon's funds is to play safe (so that he need not break his piggy banks) n to make some small money from his family/friends/investors' cheap financing (4.5%)
When mkt is good his funds's return is not too good and when mkt is bad his funds is not too bad...
It's oredi being proven in 2017 n 2018....U will see so in 2019
Alternately, u can put all their money into one of the public mutual funds which invested heavily in PBB n LBI Cap etc with 10 years average track records of 6% to 7%....I see many of them when PB Mutual agent was showing their charts (vs EPF Div) trying to convince me to use my EPF money to invest in their funds
U may consider my reply to the agent as well....which is "if that's the case why dont i buy PB Bank n LBI Cap directly io investing in yr funds, which are also investing heavily in both co?"
Equity is risky. In such an environment, offenses could be the best Defence. When time is good, you should grow yourself big such that when bad time comes, you have plenty of fat to protect your original capital
At least at the early stage of a lifelong wealth accumulation, that should be the way
After you have grown big (at least few millions, sufficient for retirement), you can consider switching to the conservative approach like Jon doing now
Icon8888 Yes. Jon will very likely underperform in bull and in normal market
That is the weak link of his investing model
Which is why I until now is still not convinced that it is suitable for him 05/01/2019 06:11
As long as his cagr can beat the inflation of 4-5%, he will be growing his networth in value. say he make 15% every year for 9 years in bull market. loss 15% in bear market. his cagr will be 12% . with capital of 100k u will get arnd 300k. in 28 years bull market 2 years bear market, u will get arnd 5 millions. The most important factor is never to lose money in investing
what icon say is true, work on your capital first. however i have other perspective. dont gamble in your investment. u can risk in your business work on your earning power. say if your yearly income is 50k make it 500k first or 1million per year. then only focus on investment.
Busy these days. Lets not make conjectures where none exist.
I'm fine with icon using my picture, if it brings him luck, All the better. Talk about free marketing!
Probably posting a new article on sunday, and i'm working on my "Learn Investing the Hard Way" posts, which will likely take up alot of time.
To be honest, i dont see much value in replying to people here. As most comments are rubbish and zero value add. My latest investors all came to me via direct email. They don't have i3 accounts, and merely happened to have read them.
My time is probably better spent on my dayjob, the fund, side business, and my various other hobbies (picked up poker recently)
Good luck with this year, i think this year is going to be great for everyone, but not for me, since rising prices are the enemy of a long term buyer of equities.
having said that, ill be giving a speech at the i3 blogger forum. See you there.
I expect to under-perform the index in bull years, and beat it in normal or bear years.
Though tbh, malaysia index is kind of rubbish, so i expect to beat it during bull year.
Over a 20 year period, i expect to beat the index very comfortably. And value investing is the only one that can provide that consistently.
Having said that, if OTB make 100% in bull, you make 50% and i make 20%, with the index say 15%.
I'll be extremely happy. They are worse things in life than to make a little less profit than the other person. 20% or 15% is still huge.
You say my conservatism is the bad part. Globally, in order to be the top 1%, you need USD32,400 in income. Im pretty close for this one.
And a net worth of USD770k, or about RM3.2m. I expect to hit this figure in 15 years if i compound at 10%, with savings per annum rising at 3% (this is very conservative as i'm very good at what i do, and i work damn bloody hard).
Personally, i expect to be hit the top 1% in the world by my mid thirties or less than 10 years.
And i intend to keep that whealth. Instead of the many retail participants here who have their horror story of how they become very rich and lost in all in their thirties.
At my own age cohort, i'm fairly certain my networth is top 1-5% in malaysia.
in any event, when you have enough money, its just a number on a screen and high score. Im not one to risk what i need for what i want haha.
My method suits me, because of my temperament and how i think. I buy more when prices go down, if i'm a trader, i will die. And i sell when it goes above fair value.
Some money, not for me to earn.

I wont be preparing a speech. i expect to just wing it. Just go there and start talking, more fun this way.
in any event, i dont think i am in a position to be giving advice at my age, when the audience are all much older than me. I may have studied it abit deeper than most on this topic, but, a person in their fifties or sixties have lived alot more.
Like they say, they've eaten more salt than i have eaten rice.
I'll probably just share my experience, talk a little on how i think, and take questions.
Dear Jon Choivo, Glad to hear that you will be giving a speech at the i3 blogger forum. I too was invited to be one of the speakers and was given a slot of 25 minutes to present my paper. My presentation title: Love triangle (FA-BS-TA). Intrinsic value INSAS: refer below link. https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/Sslee_blog/189654.jsp
And received one critical review comment from Ricky Yeo: The value of a business is the expected future cash flow. That's it. You don't go alter the concept and add NTA into the entire valuation. This is how people mess up investing. Now your whole valuation is wrong.
Where is that guy that adds all the lands of Hengyuan into the future earnings and value HY at $90 per share. 10/01/2019 20:24
I response: Dear Ricky Yeo, Do not understand what you mean as I do not add in NTA. I only look into Non-current asset and break it down to those at end of life span equal to zero. And those subsidiary/buildings generating DCF in term of (dividend /rent growing at rate 4% and discount rate at 4%) and for land the PV=current price x (1+a)^N/(1+d)^N and assuming that appreciation rate is equal discount rate then Land do not appreciate nor depreciated maintain same Present value with no DCF generated.
For current asset – total liabilities. These excess cash or cash equivalent is then use to generate DCF (certain % earning with growth of 4 % and discount rate of 4%) with present value discounted at 4 % I use duration of 10 year for INSAS. Please pinpoint what wrong with this calculation.
Thank you 10/01/2019 20:52
I receive no further comment from Ricky Yeo. So can you help me as I use intrinsic value of INSAS base on DCF of Sum (assets + future earnings) what does Ricky Yeo mean by “You don't go alter the concept and add NTA into the entire valuation.”
See you at the i3 blogger forum
Thank you P/S: I just goggled, Fundamental analysis and put my thought into paper on the above article. I will send the article to newly appointed INSAS CEO Dato’ Wong for his comment on coming Monday.
10 years from today....NTA may be $ 3 , may be $ 2.....no difference...price will still be $ 1.00 to 60 sen.
NAV is already substantially above $ 3....
why? market is right or market is wrong?
to me , market has valued it just right.......
