About me

Introduction	A café is a gathering place where people come together to have a drink and can serve as a venue where ideas ferment, or simply to hang out with other like-minded people. Chess is a game of intellect, set on a checkered board that simulates a battle field. Investing is not dissimilar to chess - intellect is crucial, temperament is sometimes equally important, and strategy shifts the balance between a good trade and a bad one. ChessCafeInvestments aims to be that webspace where investment ideas can be put forward and your comments can help refine the investment process.

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?

I am a full time private investor. I have equipped myself with financial knowledge, through books, through actual investing and also through the CFA course. I was an engineer by profession, and am no longer practising it since I have decided to invest full time. My investment interests lie primarily in US and Singapore equities.
