Charlie Munger - What makes a good investor?  

<Transcription with some minor grammatical changes>

Charlie Munger shares about traits of a good investor (YAPSS)

Obviously, you have to know a lot but partly it is temperament.
Partly, it's delayed gratification. you got to be willing to wait.
It's weird - good investing requires a weird combination of patience and aggression. And not many people have it.
Also, it has to require a big amount of self-awareness of how much you know and how much you do not know.  You have to know the edge of your own competency. (But) a lot of people are no good at knowing the edge of their own competency.  They think that they are way smarter than they are.  Of course, that is dangerous and causes trouble.

This list some of the top dividend stocks from various countries namely, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore, Australia, UK & USA .  I have also listed the top dividend stocks of the world. Considerations before investing Some of the companies listed have mind boggling dividend payout.  Please kindly do your due diligence on the respective companies before investing .  Do also research on the withholding tax, dividend related tax and local tarrifs that will apply.  For a Singaporean, my recent dividend receipt per $AAPL share is USD$0.15 (instead of USD$0.22) as a 30% withholding tax was applied.  I will also need to declare the dividend for my personal income tax submission too.  Do check with your brokerage for more details.  In the end, the returns should beat the current inflation (with tax provisions made). It would be typical for us to zoom into the stocks offering the biggest dividend payout but let us do our due diligence and research into ...

Websites I use for my trade setup - Part 4 of 4 (03Dec2021)

After I got into investing, I started to research various investing gurus. It is no surprise that I found myself attracted to value investors like Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Li Lu, Mohnish Pabrai, Guy Spier and Nick Sleep. I have also read up on Chamath Palihapitiya and Ray Dalio. Over time, I saw the success of their investments and started to follow their investments, learning their investing philosophies along the way. We  should not be following the investors blindly  just because they are successful.  We need to find an investing strategy that fit our goals, our personality, our investment time horizon and risk-reward ratio . If we are willing to research before we buy our mobile phone, car or homes, let us be willing to do the necessary research coming to investments. With managed risks, we would be able to invest with better confidence. 4. Dataroma.com Dataroma is a website that tracks the 13F filings of the top 73 super investors. <From Investopedia> Th...

My interpretation of 10 commandments of investing management by Mohnish Pabrai

Mohnish Pabrai is one of my favourite value investors.  He shared a relationship with Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger from Berkshire Harthaway.  $BRK.B, $BRK.A. Mohnish Pabrai Pabrai Funds portfolio as of Q4/2021 This was the collection of his 10 commandments coming to investing.  The source was  https://www.gurufocus.com/news/753022/mohnish-pabrai-talks-about-the-10-commandments-of-investing  and I have added my own thoughts in red italic fonts. Thou shall not skim off the top Pabrai thinks the fee structure in wealth and asset management is wrong. Most money managers are sinners. He takes issue with the fixed fee on assets under management. He specifically highlighted some original practitioners, Warren Buffett, who ran a 0/6/25 structure, and Munger, who ran a 0/33 type of structure. That means a 0% management fee and either 25% above a 6% hurdle or a 33% fee above a 0% hurdle. Personally, we should be rewarded with after delivered "agreed" results. There ...
