The upcoming workshop will be absolutely crucial for what I am going to teach for future classes. You don’t need to be an expert in reading financial reports.

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.

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.
