Singtel AGM - Force prep

Questions to be raised at AGM

1) Is there any actions / engagement from Singtel with companies to grow the iot business, apart from the public sector? Since you are one of the primary providers?

How will you compete with m1?

2) There is a large increase in
Sales and general expenses as well as capex. Is there any measures in place to control them as the businesses grow?

3) What will the future of digital marketing be like (Amoebee)? 

Will it be part of the core business or will you be spinning it off? 

How do you compete with major players facebook / google? 

4) Operating cash flow has been declining. Free cash flow has improved due to netlink iPo. 

Can the company support the dividend in the next 3-5 years? 

Apart from bank lending, will there be a need to issue preference share / debt instruments? Will it be issued to the retail sector? 

5) For the cybersecurity business, will you all be targeting the retail or the corporate sector?

How will you deal with competition?

    Hi INTJ,

    Good points. I remember coming across one of Wallstreetplayboy's posts/comments where they indicated that Digital Marketing will be automated in the future.

      Hi unN,

      Nice for you to drop by.

      Mind if you share the link for your source? If the source is from an insider / someone working in the business, his insights will be valuable! If not, I will read it with a pinch of salt.

      I have attended the Singtel AGM today and have conducted my own analysis. Probably will do a blog post over the weekend.

A New Light

 A New Light After a hiatus from writing and picking myself up from the issues in my personal life, I decided it will be great to resume writing on a monthly frequency to connect with my inner self, and connect with like minded thinkers and writers.  Writing and investing is my passion regardless of whether I am getting paid for it. Even if no one is reading about it, writing keeps my mind sharp and discussions with others allows me to bounce off ideas with other experienced / astute investors. I am also thankful to have met new friends in person with a passion in investing in recent months, and reignite my passion in what I loved.  I will resume writing and blogging at https://caveatemptorvenditor.substack.com/

Portfolio Review 2019 - Performance Review

Image
Quantitative Measures Beta = 0.76, VaR = 8.92%, Expected Shortfall = 17.43% Overall - Time = 19.99% Performance Review for 2019 Beating the STI ETF benchmark is not difficult this year. As a market capitalized ETF, STI ETF was a late buyer in the REIT rally, which highlighted the downside of this methodology. Moreover, a lot of retail investors with larger proportion to REITS performed way better than me. My returns were also punished as I averaged down on Silverlake Axis on the recent price correction. I also sold off a percentage of STI ETF to increase my war chest instead of reallocating to US Stocks, resulting in the missing out of the Christmas rally and the year end momentum play. The S and P 500 trounced the returns of most market participants. I am not certain whether the blind money / DCA via index investors resulted into this phenomenon. There is significantly high PE stocks in the index constituents. Stocks could be simply getting more ...

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face

  Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face As the china central government continued their spree of popping up regulations in all areas of China economy (Minimum wages, living conditions for drivers, 996 working hours, gaming time for minors, wealth redistribution policies, Banning dancing  grannies , the list goes on), the steep decline in the HK/CN stock prices seem to be consolidating and taking a slight breather for now. Although I have stuck to the plan of disciplined averaging down from July till now, it is never easy to watch your favorite picks go cheaper as new rules are being drafted. It is never easy to stick to your convictions based on the research and thesis of the stocks you hold, and believe you are right amidst the market noise and chaos. Everybody has a plan until they get hit. Then, like a rat, they stop in fear and freeze.You can plan all you want, but you’re going to get hit – probably when you don’t expect it - and it’s going to hurt. ...
