Starting my investing journey<br />
ItItofficiallybegan when Iwasstillserving<br />
the National Service (NS). During<br />
my time in NS,wheneverIwasfree on<br />
theweekendsIwould search online,on<br />
how to investin stocks profitably and<br />
sustainably. One day, I chanced upon<br />
the word “Value Investing” online and<br />
was intrigued. I began to read more<br />
about the concept of Value Investing<br />
and studied the investing philosophy<br />
from the father of Value Investing,<br />
Benjamin Graham’s and his student,<br />
Warren Buffett. Afterwards, I started<br />
my reading habits through buying<br />
books like “The Intelligent Investor”<br />
and “Security Analysis” by Benjamin<br />
Graham. Iused to be unaware of the<br />
technical terms used in the investing<br />
world, however over time I became<br />
better,afterlearning it.<br />
Personalinvesting philosophy<br />
To me,stocksare notjusttickerssymbols<br />
with prices that fluctuate every<br />
second.Behind everystock,there isan<br />
underlying business.Mymain investing<br />
strategy is the use of “Mispricing”.<br />
Sometimes,there isa mispricing in the<br />
value ofthe business and the price at<br />
which the business is trading in the<br />
stock market. That’s the opportunity<br />
for us value investors. This strategy<br />
complements my core theory of inversion.Inversion<br />
refersto alwaysscrutinising<br />
every investing idea, regarding<br />
why itwould fail.Thiswould resultin<br />
us being more conservative and Ibelieve<br />
thatis the key to protecting and<br />
growing wealth in the long run.<br />
Key traitsto being a good investor<br />
A good investormusthave the ability<br />
to think independently and to manage<br />
their emotions well – from clouding<br />
their judgement,whilst being able to<br />
analyse and conclude accurately and<br />
decisively. Of course, be very careful<br />
