Growth after three and a half years of investment

Hi all, 

Sorry for not being able to the update the blog sooner. It has been a hectic year as I am rebuilding my company's brand after a partnership gone sour. 

Good to be back to give an update on the investments.

I will not be updating the Singapore shares from now till further notice as savings will not grow if we invest in Singapore Companies. However OCBC Bank will be a good investment if you are looking at the banking sector. Any price below S$9.00 is a good buy, which happened a few months back.

On the other hand, US companies are still good to invest in. Starbucks and Walt Disney will continue to grow, hence still a good stock to hold on to. Other companies worth looking out for: Burger King and Microsoft.

Hi all,

Another year has passed.

I will be using the stock price as at 30 March 2015, to gauge our selected investment for the past 39 months.

Grand Apex Holdings Pte Ltd has offered to buy all Popular Holdings shares at $0.32 per share in March 2015. After this, I will not analyse any more Popular Holdings shares.

Coca-Cola had a 2 for 1 split in July 2012. Hence dividend received after that is multiplied by 2. Share price is also multiplied by 2.
