Hi @Mr Tan,

Sorry I did not actively go into i3 since December 2019 as I've got a new job and quite busy in the beginning. I guess I am disqualified for lateness right?

If I can still participate, I would like to participate with a handicap due to my lateness. Thus, please take my last year stock pick to carry on with this year's challenge (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/pfs/116526.jsp). Plus, I did not do any research on stocks since November 2019 partly due to the above reason.

I have participated in year 2014 to 2019 but not 2018 (I sat out of the 2018 market).

Target for 2020 would be 10% returns.

Note to self:
---------------------------------
Historical Returns in i3 contest:
2014: -13.50%
2015: -2.51%
2016: 23.89%
2017: 10.52%
2018: NA (Did not participate)
2019: 43.01%

I'm still a novice in investing and hope to learn again with everyone in 2020. Good luck all.

Stock Pick 2019 - Jester (Tag: SP2019) is closed on 4th Jan 2020.

Final Result:
Total Capital: 100,000.00
Total Return: +47,485.23
% over Total Capital: 47.49%

There will be no more updates to this portfolio as of 4th Jan 2020 onward.

I have not been active here for quite some time. Great performance across the board for all members.
I'm considering myself lucky to be in the top 20 for this round. A lot has been learnt and more to be learned.

Have a nice day everyone.

Dropped out of top 10 as expected. There not much upside in my portfolio anymore. Hopefully it does not come down too much before end of the year.

Great work by everyone btw. I am learning a lot this year from you guys. Keep it up.

Thanks lcng123 for your reply. Appreciate it.

Thanks for your reply Pang. Appreciate it.

Hi Pang, I'm a newbie in stock investing so I would like to ask you something.
I don't understand the bonus & split that is incoming for MAGNI. Is the bonus comes first and the split is based on the number of shares after the bonus issue?

For example,
Lets say that I have 2,500 shares.
So I receive 833 shares (1:3) = 3333 shares.
Thereafter split becomes 3333*2 (1:2) = 6666 shares.

I'm guessing I'm wrong so can anybody teach this newbie pls.

"apple168 Dow Jones crashed 1.8%!"
- Boy you don't know what crash means.

A usual definition of a stock market crash is when a 10% drop or more occurs in just one day.
A crash maybe incoming indeed - but this, my friend, is not a crash.

@calvintaneng, I'm just trying my best to be open minded. That is the only way I can learn things fast. I understand that there are some disagreements in the forum but those debates have real gems in it sometimes. Of course sometimes its pure trash as well.

When I first came here I only take a look at speculative stocks lols.
I can look back at my past selections and I can see I'm improving albeit slowly.
Or maybe I'm not improving and it is just luck, who knows. haha

Like Calvin, I would also like to thank all Sifus of i3 forum. Furthermore, this kind of stock pick challenge is also great to get many investment ideas & strategy.

Well done people. Superb performance by those with >50% returns.
Bro YiStock with a whopping 70% returns wow.
Furthermore, there are 37 people having more than 10% returns at this point.

I'm looking forward for more knowledge sharing in i3. Thank you so much everyone who have shared their knowledge up until now.

Almost drop out of top 10 now. Next month maybe? Sad.

Well done for everyone especially top 3. Above 50% is really impressive. Glad to learn so much again this year.

Quite a lot of negativity here. Thanks to those sharing their knowledge in the thread. Anyway, interesting results across the board. Challenging times indeed.

Well done people. I'm glad to learn with you guys this year again. Those with returns above 30% are really bonkers! Well done. Just hope to be as good as you guys one day.

My portfolio dropped out of top 20 in March. April dropped out of top 30 maybe? hahaha FeelsBadMan

---------------------------------------------------------------

By some chance went back to top 20 in April. But now definitely drop out of top 20 already. Will drop further most likely.

Anyway, great learning experience with you guys.

Lol. Really funny some of these guys. Relax. If you're Dayang holders like you really proclaimed to be, then would this be the best time for you since you can buy more? TP is RM3+ in right? What are you waiting for? Sailang all. Heck, follow Uncle to the book - use margin and sialang all as well. Fat wallet fat wallet. Right?

And QQQ, you are right those who win deserve to win, those who lose deserve to lose. But some of the discussion is not about that fact, it is about how funny it is for Uncle to be complaining to SC. Because you know... hahaha... hehehe

And to the rest, why do you even bring up Mr Tan KW into this? He is just sharing an article. How funny can we be in this comment section? haha

I agree with @soojinhou. It is actually funny that uncle reports this. If he is truly a super investor like what he entitled himself, he would be glad to buy more units cheaper. He has the financial muscle to do that no question about that.

But again... you know... hehehe

What a great article! This is what I want to see more in i3. Thank you so much Philip for sharing. My newbie mind is learning a lot from your postings.

"My blog is for people who seek knowledge" - Philip
- Great words. Please continue as your postings has benefited many people including me.

Very good selection CK How.

I agree with probability. He is the... one and only... next Koon in i3. Haha.
Just need to have longer article. Plus also add your credential as a founder of something something to make it credible.

Bonus point if you add into your article your philanthropic actions.
Just my 2cents. Good luck.

I agree with qqq3. I also learn a lot from Kyy. One of which is to not have herd mentality especially when I'm just a small fish.

Credit is given when credit is due. Thanks Kyy. Hehe

Bro Icon, same here too. I see KYY I also run far far away.
When I already have the stock he started to talk about, I turn tail - sell all and run. haha

Well done people. Wow those top 10 are really something. Need to learn from them more.

Well done to everyone doing well! I am learning a lot from you guys.
For the rest, there are still 11 months to go and anything can happen until then.

As for me, I'm just focusing if I can reach my own personal target. Still a long way to go for me.

Really good thoughts here in the blog post as well as comments. hehe
