I’ve gotten a couple of questions about the course: How is this different from the other courses you have taught such as Deep Value Detector? My previous courses were focused heavily on banks and property developers & landlords. It can be considered an advanced course for people who already have experience with fundamental analysis. Financial Analysis Made Easy is targeted at people who are newer to investing, or may be unfamiliar or confused with all the different financial ratios and want to know what is actually important. I don’t have any prior financial experience. Will this course be too much for me? Absolutely not! The workshop targeted at lay people and I have crafted it such that concepts are explained simply.

Based on Ein55 Giant Detector, out of about 800 stocks, there are only 6 dividend giant stocks in Singapore.  Unfortunately, 1 of the dividend giant stocks, Challenger Technologies (SGX: 573), is being acquired recently, will be delisted from Singapore stock market.

Challenger Technologies, a well-known brand in Singapore is looking to delist with a 56 cents share offer. Longtime readers and attendees of my previous courses held in conjunction with the Fifth Person will know that I cite Challenger frequently in when introducing students to financial statement analysis for the first time.

Investing in the Malaysian stock market is not for the faint hearted. After the coalition opposition Pakatan Harapan toppled the Barisan Nasional in the General Elections, many past deals made by the former administration were scrapped or reviewed.

To help investors beat the broader index, UOBKH recommends investors to look at two strategies: Sustainable yield plays, and Oversold counters with potential catalysts.

The Trump effect that had buoyed global markets has ironically turned to take its toll on as tensions with China ratcheted up a notch. Despite the underperformance of the Straits Times Index in 2018, UOBKH’s top picks managed to outperform the broader market last year. Given UOBKH’s good track record, it may pay off to heed UOBKH’s top picks for 2019. Investors Takeaway: 4 Investment Ideas For Alpha In 2019 By UOBKH Recovery Of Thai Beverage According to UOBKH, with the dismal share price performance in 2018, there is a good chance Thai Beverage (ThaiBev) will fare much better this year. Since the start of the year, the stock has already risen over 20 percent to $0.735. With a $0.80 price target, UOBKH sees almost another nine percent potential upside, with limited downside risks.
