hi soros, no harm with a little sidetrack. seems there are many here keeping tabs on overseas market and news. thank you for your sharing. i will spend some time looking into lai sun.
hi ksir, i realised (after reading the responses) that the reason why i'm not seeing value is because there are certain species of fish which i do not (fully) understand, and hence unable to (fully) appreciate. tech-related, semicons, big banks, mining, and O&G are some of the industries where i'm less comfortable. for example, when i see a proportionally massive ppe on one of such financials, i get uneasy, because i don't know what it represents, and how much of it is really productive and for how long can it be productive. i'd actually prefer to not look at the neighbour wife, which means i'll have to learn more about -- and hence be able to appreciate -- the local one.
hi weijian, it must be that time of the year where everyone is feeling pensive for you to quote 19th century classics to resolve 21st century investing dilemmas. hahah. but yes, i suppose you're not wrong. as most have mentioned, there is no straight-forward way around forex exposure. i'm not quite ready to learn what the forex market can teach me though (read: aversion to loss).
hi d.o.g., thank you for your informative and insightful sharing. will you say taiwan is a good learning ground for SG investors interested in overseas markets?
