I'm still learning and this is my thinking.

If you're already learn all the basic stuffs
and looking for the holy grail, 
then please skip to the next post.

For those beginner (just like me),
this is what I think.

1. Back to basic.
There are simply too many great way to make $$$ in stocks.
Some methods required buying stocks with a good MOS (most of our valuebuddies practising).
Some methods required extreme patients (c.f. WB buying of KO).
Some methods required you to walk around and gotten first hand experience with the stocks.
Some methods required you to be an insider, I mean ... your circle of competence.

The more important is not the method that you choose but rather 
your temperament.

Know yourself, know how much risks you can take, 
that to me is simply the first step to investing.

2. Having fun while learning.
I'm not sure about you.
I'm having so much fun learning to invest.
You probably can sense my passion by reading my posts.
I can tell you this.
If I don't enjoy investing, 
I would had stash my $$$ in ETF.
Bye bye.

Everyday I learn,
I acquired more knowledge.
Everyday I do,
I hope to gain more wisdom.

3. Do the easy stuffs.
My dear friend.
If you start by asking questions,
I think you'll waste a lot of your time.

I think you should do less analysis and start investing soonest.
If you do not know what to buy?
Just look at the vb.com and buy some favourite stocks.


If you really don't know, why not just buy $10K of MM?

Thanks for the reply 

I'm trying to set up a system for myself from searching to the end evaluation of the stock.

In terms of searching for stocks, i'm using screeners now. But based on screeners, the issue I faced is I find myself not understanding the industry or the company well enough to make my investment. Maybe that is because I haven't done enough prospecting on stocks in the same segment. 
Finding the market share, major customers etc is always an issue for me.
I am trying to learn the more qualitative of business valuation instead of just using numbers from financial reports. 

Is there sites that list down SGX listed companies with more specific breakdown of segments? I'm trying to find comparison stocks but I cannot seem to find another company that does similar things based on the classification on SGX 

I certainly find it interesting to learn about the different businesses but I cannot find enough information to know enough about the company.
