Salute to Dennis Ng, 2 years has passed, rather quickly...

sadly, no one has stepped up to be the next "Dennis Ng" in public investment education yet...

meantime, we will continue to contribute via valuebuddies forum... Smile
1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same!
3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR! 
4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

Just a small correction. Two years (not one year) have passed since his death in July 2012.

I think his emergency fund must have been eroding 3% a year since.

One of the key lessons is HEALTH is also an INVESTMENT.

Do Invest effort to exercise regularly, sleep before 11pm for a 7 hr rest.

If u learn taichi and qigong to a very advanced level, ba gua fist, one's health will be very good.

Agree exercising regularly is important. In fact, for being a fit Singaporean Male, one can be rewarded $300/$500 (starting from 2015)

So investing effort to exercise regularly is worth it!

Mossie's MY STORY was very interesting and inspiring to many Valuebuddies. His other sharing is HOW TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL INVESTOR. I hope these 2 articles can be useful to all Valuebuddies and boost the members to 3000.

Interesting article. I had been in forums on & off since the days of FISH. Did Dennis go by any moniker?

Allow me to add my 2cts:

1) Mistaking bull markets for brains. This is so very true that in a bull market everyone thinks they are God's gift to investment Smile From analysing companies to fund managers to seeking advices, see how they do over one cycle, BOTH bill and bear markets. That is the REAL ALPHA, not some statistical number

2) The old adage of kicking the tyres are not foolproof: in my early days i invested into a Taiwanese motherboard makers that has been doing high end boards and organising gaming events. U can see their products in SLS everywhere. Turn out that business was sound but the chairman was siphoning money out which is why they are always cash tight. Those who invest in emerging markets including our neighbours will know visiting plants or factories on a planned tour is not exactly representative. Learn how to read and INTERPRET financial cash flows and how management historically operated their business including corporate actions is the only way to avoid this pitfall.

3) IMHO and definition, Smart money are NOT the syndicates. I classify them as evil money Smile Think Blumont. If u want to follow evil money, make sure u know the source well. Hot money are trend followers. Dumb money are those who dont know what they are doing ie follow tips etc. Smart money are those business owners and fundamental guys... LISTEN to what they DO

4) Catalysts are very important, including technical indicators, and once u recognise that u will know why i also say timing is important (not trading). There is a reason why underdogs are underdogs, in a world where the winner takes all. In order for underdogs to become Alpha there needs to be a catalyst, including new products or initiatives, their competitor missteps, reorg, etc. Otherwise u are just trying to buy underdogs for beta and hope it works.

5) recognise there are at least 3 layers to analysing the company: asset, business and structure. Just focusing on one is not going to help. Many arguments arise because they are essentially talking about different layers, and not a complete picture
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. –William A. Ward

Dennis is well remembered for his contribution to Investor Education. He will be sorely missed.

When I met Dennis, he was still an Accountant. We were fellow forumers at Shareinvestor. In the late 1990's, the forums were in its infancy. The stalwarts then were Oldman and Warren and they were the ones who first started investor education at SI. Now, we know who Oldman is. He was none other than Dr Michael Leong. http://forum.shareinvestor.com/archive/0...B2C_1.html

When Dennis wanted to enter into Investor Education, he asked to meet me. I had the pleasure to meet Dennis only once and wished him the very best, but thereafter, I watched his development from afar. I am saddened to hear about his demise 2 years ago. I never got the chance to thank him for his contribution to Investor education. This little piece is just my small contribution to keep Dennis' memory alive.

I observed him to be knowledgeable a perfectionist character but darkside to that perfection is quite a "combative" personality he wanted everybody to agree with him, nice to those who did but fought those who didn't and always wanted the last word in everything. I think there were some in the old forum who didn't like him, those who can remember the ridiculous flame wars eventually he left and started his own forum.

The other good notable investors are
