NBS Step-Out Mentoring Programme Midpoint Workshop/Networking 26Sep2023


Thanks to NTU/NBS for setting this up. It is good to meet Leonard Zuzarte and Ruo Mei Chua in person. Thanks for organizing a successful event last evening where we covered topics on self-discovery, how to stand out and what's next after landing a job.

To the various NBS undergrads, it is a pleasure to meet you. To the mentors who have shared generously, I have been enriched by you. Know that we (mentees and mentors) have learnt from one another last night and it was never a one-way street.

Here are some of my muse and thoughts from last night's session:

  • Know who you are (values), what you have (resources) and what you can do (talent, competency).
  • Do what you need so that you can do what you want.
  • Documentation is king.
  • You are born an original, do not die a copy.
  • Being the best version of yourself is the best gift you can give to yourself and the world.
  • We like to be understood by our intentions and not our actions. This needs to be vice versa towards another. Render understanding and benefit of the doubt.
  • Seek an understanding of the personality profiles so that you understand their strengths, weaknesses and tendencies. This is a good guide but never cast in stone.
  • What you like may not be what you are good at.
  • What route should you take? - specialist, manager, leader.
  • Let us work on our soft skills.
  • Prioritizing of work - ask the manager if you are not sure.
  • Work-life balance can be overrated. Life moves in seasons.

Author recommendation - Jim Collins by Ms Sherryn.


I wish all of you the best and may you continue to create great value wherever you go.

My investing muse - Ray Dalio said "crypto maybe outlawed" (08Jan2022)

-
D uring a recent interview with Yahoo Finance,   Ray Dalio has shared his concerns that Cryptocurrencies may be outlawed .  Governments would want a monopoly on money and they have concerns that Cryptocurrencies may jeopardise their currencies' role - leading to depreciation & dilution of value.  Mr Dalio has also expressed his preference for gold over Bitcoin (BTC) despite their performance.  However, this does not stop Mr Dalio from owning some cryptocurrencies. The volatility of BTC can render its own downfall, as a medium of exchange.  Of course, the people would not mind when BTC appreciated but it could also post equal downside.  For regular citizens, the drop of value from USD$63,000 to USD$28,000 within 3 months (Apr 2021 to Jul 2021) can lead to much chaos.    On its way to being a successful currency, cryptocurrency will be a threat to the legal currencies , thus, leading to a possible ban.  India and China have respectivel...

Technical Analysis Exercise (12Apr2022) This is looking at charts based on technical analysis of their 1D chart.  It is strongly recommended to conduct fundamental analysis before we conduct any technical analysis . Abbreviation  (based on 1D chart) MA = Moving Average MA50 = Moving Average 50 days (short term trend) MA200 = Moving Average 200 days (longer-term trend) Being prudent, I will give preference MACD indicator for the following logic:  I will rather be late than too early.  I may get lesser profits but I could (potentially) avoid a bigger loss (entering too early and catching a falling knife).   One of the factors influencing my decision will be the Beta of the stock (above 1 being more volatile).  If the stock is more volatile, I may consider leaning more on stochastic than MACD.  As per my previous article, MACD is giving a much more reliable signal than Stochastic . PLTR 1D chart as of 12Apr22 2320hrs Avg. Volume is 52,748,511 ...
