3. Trading The Broader Markets – An Alternative Approach
Speaker: Gerard Tong, Principal Director of Epitrain Pte Ltd
It is often necessary to take some risks to gain a return. And indeed, that is what many do when trading the markets, where one tries to be quick and nimble in order to seize opportunities when they arise. Instead of taking a "quick and nimble trading", would a longer-term approach yield better results? Join Gerard Tong, Director of Epitrain, for more insights.
4. How To Adopt An Investing Mindset & Trade Nimbly On The Equity Markets
Speaker: Dr. David Kuo
Just like fine wine, picking the right stock to buy-and-hold is an acquired skill that is honed through time and experience trading in the markets. And it is often said that the same skillset also benefits position traders who buy and hold equities for just a few days to weeks, as they look for attractive value in companies. Find out from David Kuo, a well-known income investor & ex-CEO of The Motley Fool Singapore, where he shares with you the skillset that is instrumental to his success.
